The Alpha-Omega ~ Sequel

-16-

Mikey:

I'm just on my way to the one intersection where there seems to be this cherry tree and where there's a meadow field. I'm not on this side that often so I didn't even know that Jaron always goes through there...

That's great. The own father doesn't even know where his own son always goes after school. Our relationship and communication was never the best anyway, at least that's what I think. Takemitchy would have a different opinion.

Lost in my thoughts, I do not even notice, that I have long since passed that cherry tree. I stop and look around.

So, this is the moment where Jaron was alone yesterday. Takemitchy said, he apparently went through the meadow field, so that he could get home faster. Clearly with this weather yesterday, I would have done the same. He didn't even have an umbrella with him.

When I was on the meadow field, I noticed that further away a few houses stand. Whether the people who live there have seen something?

I walk a little further and look around, but somehow I don't find anything interesting.

It kind of reminds me of our favorite place where Takemitchy and I used to go when we were in college. This place only a few teachers, a few friends, Takemitchy and I knew. But we had our peace and silence there and were alone. It was also such a Meadow field, but with many flowers.

I could have shown this place to Jaron... but it never happened. Does it surprise anyone? Well, not me.

Lost in my thoughts again, I feel something strange when I walk, as if I step on fake grass. I look down and see a slightly 'different kind of grass'?

What the... I bend down and touch the grass. It actually feels very fake. Somehow I have a flair for this... Strange.

I try to tear it off the floor, but it's very well attached. What is hidden under there? With much strength I could tear it off and I see suddenly... wood? Looks like a door hatch on the floor and it's not even small...

Anyway, it can be opened. I thought, but it is locked. Are you fucking serious?! Well, then we take it the hard way.

I take a few steps back. I take a deep breath and try to lightly 'summon' my dark aura. Sounds strange I know, but I have been trying to control it when I am in my 'mode'. But it not always worked. I also can't use too much, otherwise I get out of control. Typical Alpha.

When I felt my dark aura already a little bit, I ran straight at the wooden door and jumped into the air. With only one kick on the wooden door it was already shattered. Yess.

"It's pretty dark down there," I said quietly. There was even a ladder leading down there. What kind of place is this? I took out my cell phone and turned on the flashlight there. Slowly I climbed down the ladder and a bad smell came to my nose.

It smelled like blood... Shit... What if there's a dead body... and what if it's Jaron...

Once downstairs, I slowly turn around and illuminate the room underground with my cell phone flashlight.

It's pretty empty in here... But where is this smell coming from?? I continue to look around and suddenly see bloodstains on the floor. It is not much, it even looks like someone tried to remove the stains...

I have a bad feeling... What happened here?! It also smells a bit like alcohol... beer to be exact. But Jaron doesn't drink...

I'm going to be sick... I can't think about it too much... But I still haven't found anything... Shit.

I'd better tell grandpa that there's a room underground that was well hidden. Who owns this private property anyway? Then we could ask him, too. I think I'll go back out or I'm going to forget myself down here.

When I was at the ladder to climb it up, something jumps into my eye. There was hair on the ladder. To be exact a Yellow-black tuft of hair.

Hmmm... doesn't look like Jaron's hair. Still, that might help find him....

I take the tuft of hair and climb back up outdoors.
