CHAPTER 7: A DARK SECRET

Adeline got the call from Luke just an hour after her shift at the Hound. He told her to stay in her cabin until he was able to talk to her. He mentioned something about Wayne, and how he saw him leaving town with some Bloodmoons. Adeline shuffled aimlessly around her cabin, wrapped in a heavy blanket. She hated the feeling of being trapped somewhere, and felt that even trying to go outside for a moment to take some pictures would be too risky.

She padded up the steps to her lofted bedroom, lying down on the fluffy duvet with a sigh. The sun was about to set outside, and she was wondering how long Luke was going to take. She had tried to get some more information at the bar about the Bloodmoons. The most she heard was that more people were beginning to disappear, which made her stomach churn. How long would it be before she was amongst them? Would the Bloodmoons try to make another attempt to kidnap her?

She grasped at her head, cursing a headache she’d been plagued with since the beginning of the day. All this stress was getting to her. She looked through her phone, where a voicemail from her mom was waiting. She held the phone up to her ear, listening to her mother’s high-strung voice asking when she was going to come home. “I’m ready to talk about things, if you want,” her mother said hopefully. Adeline put down the phone. She didn’t want to talk. Not now, not ever.

She bent over the edge of her bed, pulling out a shoebox that contained the only treasures she managed to rescue from her mother. She sorted through the contents, laying them out one by one in front of her. There was a fishing lure inside, one that she recognized from when she was a kid. He had a small assortment of bottle caps from his favorite beers. Adeline smiled at them sadly. There were several knick-knacks from his desk, and a stack of photographs at the bottom. She sorted through them, photos of her when she was younger, and holiday family pictures.

One of them stood out to her. It was a hunting photo. She checked the date on the back. It was taken just a month before he passed. A cluster of friends surrounded her dad. All of them were dressed in fishing outfits, holding up their prized catches on long chains. She scanned the faces, most of them being his coworkers and distant relatives. But there was one at the very end, and it sent a harrowing chill down her back as she recognized him.

Grinning from ear to ear, holding the largest of the fish, was Wayne. His eyes stared back at her, like they did when she first saw him. They were cold and lifeless, despite his cheery demeanor. Adeline’s mind was racing with questions about him, but she couldn’t bear to think of Wayne’s terrifying gaze. She quickly packed up her father’s things and tried to call Luke.
