Strange Encounters • [Dunbar]

A Novel Approach •

"The Dread Doctors by T. R. McCammon. What?" Lydia said with a book in her hand, that book was the only clue they had to everything that was happening.

"I don't know. There's something off about it." Malia answered. After last night everyone believed her, but she still thought that there was something missing about the book.

"Has anyone actually read it yet?"

"Just me. And I didn't understand any of it." the were-coyote girl replied.

"We should probably all read it."

"Kira's working on that. Stiles says he can't find anything on the author. He think is a pen name."

"In a small New England town, teenagers are taken in the night and buried alive. Days later they emerged transformed, wreaking havoc and spreading terror, commanded by an ancient order of para-scientists known only as the Dread Doctors." the banshee read.

"Sounds vaguely familiar. How does it end?" Kelsey asked. After seeing them last night, she sure as hell didn't want to have another encounter with this doctors.

"It doesn't. This is supposed to be volume one." Malia answered.

"Oh, let me guess. There's no volume two?" the banshee said.

"I think we're living volume two." the Duval girl replied.

"Then maybe the real question is, is this a novel or someone's prediction?"

"You can fight." Liam said when he found Kelsey walking alone to the cafeteria.

"What?"

"Yeah, last night, you fought. And it was awesome." the beta was still amused about how his friend defended herself with Kira's sword.

"Oh, that. It was nothing. My dad taught me how to fight when I was little. He works at the sheriff station, so I knew how to use a gun before I could even read." the girl said with a little laugh. Truth is, she never thought she would actually had to use her fighting skills. That of course, until now.

"That's really impressive. Have you read the book yet?" Liam wondered.

"No, not yet. But maybe we can read it together. I mean, if you want." Kelsey was pretty confident, but when it came to Liam, she felt like she could pass out at any second.

"That would be great, actually." Liam answered with a smile.
-----------------------------------------
After school, Kelsey and Liam were sitting in her room reading the book about the Dread Doctors.
Neither one of them felt nothing while reading it, but then Kelsey remembered one of the stories her mom told her when she was little.

Flashback

The six year old girl sat beside her mother while the woman read her a story about some weird doctors that would transform teenagers into weird creatures.

"Mommy why did they do that?" the little girl asked.

"Because they were trying to reach their goal. They wanted to create a beast, so they would take control of everything, so they could be more powerful."

"Did they created it?"

"Not yet, sweetie. Not yet."

End of flashback

"Are okay? You kinda zoned out for a while."

"My mom knew about them. She had a book. A book about the Dread Doctors. It said something about a beast to make them stronger." Kelsey said while she went to her father's room, with Liam following close behind.

"Do you think it's true? About that beast?" the boy asked.

"I actually don't know what is and what is not true anymore. So at this point, after everything we saw. Yes, I think is true."

"Good point." Liam said.

Once they found the book, they realized that it was the same one that they already had, but this one was the original. And it had a dedicatory
"For Linda, because you were the only one who actually believed me." the blue eyed boy read.

"So she was right, about everything. All those stories, they were real."

"And if she was right about this too..."

"It means this is more serious and dangerous than we already imagined." the girl concluded.

It's short I know. But Liam didn't appear on this episode, so I had to come up with something.
Her mother knew Valack! She actually knew a lot of things, but you'll see that on other chapters. So, their ship-name is Kiam! Please let me know what you guys think, I really love to see your comments. Also, wolfiecommunity made the new cover and it's amazing!
I'll update tomorrow again.
Love -Em
