Before the prolougue I just want to say that this is my first time posting a story like this. Please leave comments, but also this does have boyxboy content at the center of it. If you don't like it then please leave. This story will be told from varying points of view, from first person on both main characters to third person focusing on outsiders. I will do my best to highlight where it's leading. Please feel free to leave constructive criticism below and please show where you can see any spelling errors. Thanks!!!! And now.......begin:
Prologue.
Jason Lowe was a hunter. He had been raised like one by his uncle after his parents died when he was three. Now he was seventeen and in the last month of being a junior. He hated the constant moving, always being the new kid, checking, buying, and creating ammo and weapons, getting no sleep during hunts, and the constant death that went along with it. He hated his Uncle Brian's lack of trust and saying that information between them was on a need to know basis only. Over the years he'd hardened and toughened. He'd learned from personal expierience that love lead to death and hurt feelings wherever you went. The damn paranormal world saw to that.
This was his first hunt by himself. The weapons and defenses were loaded in the back of his Mustang convertable-one of the benifits of a rich Uncle who really didn't give a crap as long as you shut up-under a fake bottom. He was going after a slaughterer. His uncle had already set up the school and they were expecting him tommorow in the small town of Marysville in the state of Tennesee. What the thing was exactly, he had no idea. It had killed five people over a span of four weeks. It was sending up a huge flare saying. "COME GET ME, I'M RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!" He'd figure it out. Once he killed it he'd leave. He'd blend into the shadows so completely that no one would notice him, and then he'd dissapear back to the great NYC and hunt some rouge werewolves in Central Park while his uncle looked for the next job and his Aunt Terry prepared them and patched them up and kept track of jobs. Yeah.
He gave a smile that looked more like a grimace and he knew that. He wanted out. Small towns were the worst.
Zack Mulligan was not what you'd call popular. He was shy and small. He knew a lot, but he kept quiet. His best friend Rory (a girl) and other friend Steven were the only ones who knew about the secrets that-other than when he was in karate class, keeping up him black belt status-turned him into such a shy guy. 1. He was gay, and gay in Catholic and Christian dominated Marysville, Tennesee was not a good thing to be. 2. He had visions of the future, and he was always right. It'd started when he was four and he would remember the day for the rest of his miserable life.
He'd been on the floor drawing with crayons when suddenly he saw an image of the Pastor in his church-Joe at the time-getting stabbed. It'd scared him and he'd run to his mother. and told her about it while sobbing like any four-year-old would if they saw that. As soon as she heard, instead of comfoting him like an ordionary and good mother should, she yelled. "Zack, never speak in such a way again and pray to the Lord! You have been touched by a demon! Go to your room!" She'd told his dad and all of her friends about it. Three days later Pastor Joe had been found on the floor of the church, brutally stabbed to death with a knife. His mother had crossed herself as they took the body out on a streacher in a body bag and said. "Oh Lord, my son has been tainted by the devil." All of her friends were just like her and they thought the entire family was no good. So they all left. It'd happened again, but he'd never told her. He'd predicted his own father's death by lung cancer. (He had been a smoker since he was sixteen.)
Nobody else was gay in Marysville. He knew that for a fact. So he kept his head down and his mouth closed and stayed in the shadows. A policy which didn't benifit from his hyperactive crazy best friend Rory who acted like she had a sugar rush and had a shot of adrenaline every hour on the hour. He kept his power a secret and only told Rory and Steven, his only two friends. He was right unless he made an effort to stop it. He'd had a dream of someone coming to town to kill something that had been killing the people and the way that person would die all in the same dream. He had to stop them, even if it killed him.
So leave a comment and your suggestions on actors for Jason, Zack, Rory, and Steven. Thanks!! Mackenzalie <3
