《She-Wolf》Relics part iii
Advertisement
At the lacrosse field, the players are ready to play as a huge crowd of people cheers them on. Scott, Liam and Corey arrive to the field, dressed to play.
"I'll stay with Steinbach and Wallace," Scott says "You stay with Gwen," he tells Liam. "And you with Okafur," he says to Corey.
"What if I see the Ghost Riders?" Corey asks.
"Yell. And get ready to fight," Scott replies. The referee blows his whistle to start the game. Okabur gets the ball and runs toward the goal but one player of the Bulldog team knocks Corey, right next to Okafur, much to his annoyance, and steals the ball.
"Find your own space," Okafur tells Corey. The player that took the ball from Okafur runs toward the goal of Beacon Hills, throws the ball and scores, giving the Bulldogs the advantage.
Gwen and another player from the Bulldogs face off and the referee blows his whistle to start the play again. Gwen takes out the ball but Liam goes against her and both of them fall on the ground and groan in pain. Gwen takes out her helmet.
"Do you wanna backoff?" She asks Liam. Liam stands on the ground with a confused look and the player of the Bulldogs with number "2" runs toward the goal of Beacon Hills and throws the ball and scores. Now the Bulldogs are winning 2-0, much to Coach and everyone cheering Beacon Hills' disappointment. Next, Wallace or Steinbach gets the ball but Scott bumps into them and the three of them fall on the ground, much to Wallace and Steinbach's annoyance.
"C'mon, man. There's no ghost in here, McCall," Steinbach points out. The Bulldogs score again, making the result 3-0, much to Coach Finstock's anger.
"What are you doing out there?! I'm gonna kill the three of you," Coach yells. Coach goes to see what's wrong with Scott, Liam and Corey. In the stands, Sydney and Lorilee are sitting next to each other and Mason and Liz are right under them.
"Do these guys ever practice?" Lori asks.
"Not enough," Sydney replies. Mason looks still nervous if he can find something that can stop the Ghost Riders.
"It's the first period," Sydney tries to reassure Mason.
"They can still win," Lori agrees.

"How do you know that they can't get in and shoot all of us? I'll never graduate. I'll never do anything. This is it!" Jayden concludes.
"Give me the stun gun," Malia says.
"Can you think of a better, less-seizure inducing way?" Argent asks.
"Don't any of you get it?! We are never leaving this place," Jayden continues.
"Jayden. It's okay. Before they get in here, they got to go through us," Malia tells her.
"What if that's not enough?"
"No one is getting through that door," Malia says and then realises something. "Nathan's missing,"
~~~
As the game continues Mason remembers the party and that the Ghostriders left after Parrish showed up and yelled at them. As he is overjoyed by his discovery he cheers in joy. Unlucky for him it was at the same time that the opposing team scores a point, making people think he's cheering for them.
~~~
Malia and Argent walk through the bunker and find a vent that's opened. They look at each other, both realising what this means.

~~~
As everyone seems to become more violent the Coach is overjoyed with Liam doing the same.
"What's gotten into everyone?" Liam asks Scott. Scott looks around trying to find the answer on one of the angry faces.
"What if it's the Wild Hunt? What if it's affecting everyone?" Scott realises
"It's Parrish! He's the reason the Ghost Rider left the party," Mason tells Hayden and Liz who also seemed to be worrying about the aggression on the field.
"Parrish?" They both ask.
"Call on your sister. Tell her we need to meet Parrish at the school right now."
"What about Gwen? What about the other players? We have to keep them safe," Hayden points out.
"Parrish could keep everyone safe," Mason tells them. Liz frowns and looks at the sky as rain begins to pour down.
"I hope for all of our sake that you're right, Mason," She says.
"They're here, Liam!" Scott yells.
"I see them!" Liam yells back as the Ghostriders gallop onto the field.
~~~
"What happens if he gets out?" Malia asks.
"He'll break the seal," Argent replies.
"This way," Malia says after picking up on his sent.
~~~
As the referee blows his whistle stopping the game because of the rampaging weather Coach protests but no one listens. Scott, Liam, Corey and the lacrosse players gather in the middle of the field.
"Okay. We've got all three, right?" Scott asks.
"Scott, there were four," Liam points out as everyone stares at a certain spot. Scott realises something must be going on so he grabs Corey's wrist. One of the Ghostriders is riding over the field dragging the other player behind him.
~~~
"Why did you call me?" Parrish asks.
"The Ghost Riders are afraid of you," Hayden answers immediately.
"What? How do you know?" He asks.
"Really? We don't and this is guesswork that if it goes wrong will kill you," Liz says in a way that makes it clear she doesn't like this plan.
"You're the reason he left Gwen. You can stop them. We need you. The other you," Mason explains, ignoring what Liz said.
~~~
"You were good back there with Jayden," Argent tells her.
"Thanks. I still want to kill Nathan," Malia confesses.
"At this point, so do I. Which way?"
"This way,"
~~~
More people end up seeing the Ghostriders and quickly run away, leaving those who don't see anything confused. "Oh my God! They're real. We got to get out of here." Okafor realises.
"Stay together, we'll protect you," Liam says.
"How?" Gwen asks.
"Run!" Scott yells when he realises they can't fight them. He grabs Corey's wrist to see the Ghostriders and realises they're surrounded.
"Stay close!" Liam says.
"I can still see them!" Scott says after he lets go of Corey's wrist and the Ghostriders are still visible to him. Liam lets his eyes glow their golden colour and tackles one of the Ghostriders off of their horse. "Liam!" Scott also lets his eyes glow red and growls.
"We can't stop them!" Liam yells after the two other players get shot.
"Protect Gwen!"
~~~
"You want what?!" Melissa yells and Lydia, Brett and Natalie give her a pointed look.

"Shhhh, you're in a hospital," Brett scolds her and Lydia and Melissa roll their eyes.
"You want what?" Melissa asks again, on a normal tone this time.
"Claudia's medical records. Just for a minute. We know it's a lot to ask," Lydia replies.
"It's up there. It's way up there," Melissa points out.
"As the more recently enlightened of the two of us, just trust me. There are lives at stake," Natalie tells her.
"Letting the three of you look at private medical records is completely and utterly against hospital regulations," Melissa explains to them.
"So we better make this quick," Reed says as he walks up to them.
"Where the hell did you come from?" Brett asks with a smile.
"My mother's uterus I'd guess. Now get your asses moving,"
~~~
"You lost it?" Argent asks as Malia stops suddenly.
"No. I don't know. Maybe. It's like he's right here," Malia explains confused.
"But no Nathan,"
"He's still here. I know it." She says and looks around for an explanation. She walks close to the wall and realises he's on the other side. "Nathan. I know you're there,"
"How?" Nathan replies.
"Stay put. We're coming to get you," Argent says.
"No, you're not!"
"He's moving. You need to stop running. You're gonna lead them right to us! Nathan!" Malia yells before she starts running after him. She stops and turns to Argent. "Shoot him!"
"Did you listen to my story?"
"Just clip him. You clipped me,"
"You healed. Come on. We're wasting time,"
~~~
A woman runs into the Highschool as a Ghostrider follows her. Liz, Mason, Hayden and Parrish run towards the hallway to see the woman and the Ghostrider. The Ghostrider aims his gun and Liz runs forward. She reaches just in time to pull the woman to the ground so the bullet misses her.
"Run!" She tells the woman who doesn't think twice and quickly gets up. The Ghostrider walks towards Liz and she crawls backwards to try and getaway. As he fires the gun at her she holds up her hand. "Subsisto!" The bullet stops in mid-air and Liz stares at it surprised. Suddenly she gets pulled up and pushed back by Parrish.
"Stay back!" he tells them. Parrish's eyes resemble flowing ambers as his clothes burn away. His body becomes engulfed in flames and he charges at the Ghostrider. The Ghostrider seems unbothered and simply points his gun at the Hellhound.
"Parrish! Stop!" Liz yells as the Ghostrider shoots Parrish. The orange flames turn green as Parrish drops to the ground. Hayden lets her eyes glow gold and she flicks her claws. As she prepares to charge at the Ghostrider he disappears with a lightning strike.
~~~
The Ghostriders circle the three as they try to protect Gwen. Gwen suddenly moves away from their protection and gives the Ghostriders a clear shot. One of the Ghostriders shoots her before the trio notice what's going on. Scott catches the shot Gwen who then disappears in a cloud of green smoke.
~~~
"Nathan! Nathan!" Argent yells.
"We can keep you safe!" Malia adds.
"Bull. I'm out of here," Nathan says and climbs up the ladder before they can stop him. He opens the hatch and gets killed by a Ghostrider instantly.
~~~
"Sorry, guys. According to her medical records, Claudia never had children," Melissa says.
"Wait a minute that doesn't seem right," Brett suddenly remarks and Reed checks the screen.
"Frontotemporal Dementia? You're right, that just doesn't make sense," he agrees.
"There must be a mistake," Melissa remarks.
"How long ago? She seems fine now," Natalie asks.
"10 years? I'm surprised she's still alive, honestly. It's a miracle,"
"That's more than a miracle. How the hell did she survive that with only two operations?" Brett points out.
~~~
Liam, Liz, Mason, Hayden and Corey approach Scott who just finished calling Malia and turns to them.
"Everyone in the bunker has been taken," Scott explains.
"Everyone? How?" Mason asks.
"What does that matter now," Liz remarks and sighs.
"Malia is at the hospital. Argent's been hurt. My mom and Reed are with them," Scott continues.
"Reed? Since when is he back? Is Cheryl with him?"
"Not that I'm aware,"
"He could've told me he was back in town," Liz grumbled and then looked over to a dejected Liam.
"Scott... Tonight-" Liam starts.
"No. Hey, it's not your fault. It's mine. We should have done both-- defend the bunker and use a lightning rod. It would have given us a better chance," Scott explains.
"You okay?" Mason asks.
"No," Liam replies.
"There he is. Look at that! The humility. The grace. Sure, that wasn't lacrosse we played out there tonight. That was la-crap! But you... You stayed on the field while the rest of these losers ran inside," Coach yells.
"Coach, we lost. We lost everything," Liam comments still looking dejected.
"Listen to the despair! The rage simmering underneath it! See that, people? He still thinks he can win. That's why next time, he will win. Because he will find a way. Now, show your new captain some love, you pukes! I said, "Show him some love!""
The team starts to chant Liam's name.
~~~
"Is he okay?" Scott asks as Melissa moves the hospital bed with Argent into a room.
"He has blunt force trauma to his temporal bone, three broken ribs, and multiple surface lacerations, which seem to be from whip marks? What he needs is a lot of rest," Melissa replies.
"What happened?" Lydia asks as she and Brett arrive in front of the room.
"The Ghost Riders took everyone. We barely slowed them down. Tell us you found something," Malia explains. Lydia and Brett share a look.
"We found out Claudia never had children. So, Stiles can't be her son. And we still have no leads on Selene," Brett replies.
"What about a relic? For either?" Brett and Lydia look away. "There never was a Stiles, was there? It doesn't even sound like a real name. And we still don't know anything about Selene,"
"We have to keep looking. Check the school records again, or call Scott's dad-" Lydia tries.
"We're fighting the wrong battle,"
"We're trying to bring Stiles and Selene back,"
"The Ghost Riders came back. We still have no way of stopping them. And whatever they are, they're real. We can't keep chasing two people who aren't,"
"They didn't leave anything behind... Just us," Brett comments. "But I can't give up on them. You guys can give up if you want. I'll prove she's real,"

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

But she is certainly less interested in becoming a full-fledged member of those clans. Same goes for Mark who's a police officer recently promoted to the capital crimes department. Being the youngest to reach that goal and being partners with his stepmother and mentor he is happy. Everything is fine. If it wasn't for his curiosity which gets him involved with the woman of his dreams... And the ancient clans that seem to be the culprit of the several crimes that he is forbidden to solve. But this is the mere beginning. There will be blood, strategy and politics as well as love and friendship. To tell you more is only going to spoil the surprise. This fiction belongs to the same universe as tavern's edge. 😊 This is my first time ever publishing anything and as you might see english isn't my native language. I am translating an ongoing story I am writing in German. Have fun I hope you will like it. In case you are interested I post this story on scribble hub, too. I really don't steal from myself, though 😂

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK ONE: The Job)
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Then thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed – its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they’re still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They’re also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn’t yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn’t even know is coming … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
