Hush Hills - Not So Much Detail

Tucked away in the north west corner of North Carolina sets the town of Hush Hills. The town is well named, for while the town is a mild tourist spot, it has the small-town lull. The town isn't all the way into the Appalachian mountain range; it is far enough into the mountains to have strained ties with the rest of the outside world.

Hello. My name is Twilight Blakk. Humans know me here as the young vet with the four dogs. Immortals here know me as the Alpha, The Guardian, Hell Hound, etc. I’m a werewolf, and let me tell you about this town.

When I first came here about eight years ago, immortals hadn’t touched the town. I was the first. Sure, it was a little lonely, being the only werewolf, but I made friends quickly here. Besides, with a pack of four dogs, I was never really lonely. However, it wasn’t long before a few immortals stumbled across the town. Though I didn’t hunt people, most immortals did. When the first ‘animal maulings’ happened, I decided that they couldn’t be allowed. If I could drive them away, I would. However, I couldn’t keep everyone from being hurt. Someone even got turned once. I got to him quickly, and we formed a rough-around-the-edges pack. Now I had someone to help me protect the town. The threat of other immortals wasn’t just my responsibility anymore. That became our purpose, protecting the town.

Until recently, the town has been relatively sleepy. Immortals have been in short supply, and they mostly stuck to the outskirts of the town. However, for some reason immortals are flocking to the town. Nix and I have been able to keep away most of them, but some do slip past us. More wolves joined our pack, and even a spare vampire or two have started protecting the town with us.

That’s not the biggest problem though. While watching the news, I noticed an unusual spike in human murders a few states over from Hush Hills. They seemed to be the usual vampire attacks, so I kept a close eye on them. After a few weeks of steady, gruesome deaths, I started to get concerned. Somehow there was something different about the attacks. It reminded me of the time I had been watching a newborn vampire terrorize another small town close to Hush Hills. This had the same intense, uncontrollable blood-lust of the newborns, but the cunning of experience.

Naturally, I was concerned. Leaving Nix to watch over the town, I went to investigate. The trip took a little longer than it usually would have, for I was also trying to track the unusual vampires. When I reached the unfortunate town, I spent a few days just circling the town. To my surprise, there was not only one vampire but two, both males. I kept my distance, not wanting to be discovered, or at least not pose a threat. The vampires were unlike any I had come across. It was as if the worst of the vampire species had been merged into one.

As much as I hated to, I had to leave the town to it’s fate. But, I had been gone too long from Hush Hills. There was nothing I could do for the town anyways. I headed home, going the long way, through major cities. I didn’t want my scent being tracked back to Hush Hills. The mysterious vampires had disappeared for now, but I’m keeping my eye out for them, in case they decide to pop up again closer to my beloved town.

What I can leave for remembrance.

August 12, 2008

It's not as if I even tried to turn out like this. I never told myself, "Raine, you listen here! You're going to grow up weird whether you like it or not!" No. I wasn't expecting this and I'm sure as hell that fate hadn't planned this for me either. You could say that I'm a little unpredictable. Well, you could say a lot of things about me. I'm different. So what? I only wish it was like that. I can only wish it was even that easy. But its not or at least it didn't use to be. Nope, not for Raine Lee Adams. Different was bad; in fact different in a small town was practically a sin.

Yeah, I tend to not go into great detail when asked about my childhood. It really wasn't that bad, honest. It was neither depressing or tragic. . .

You know the feeling of falling? It begins with a head rush and it takes your brain a few seconds to register the fact that you are no longer on solid ground . . .right?
After that, you go into shock and you get that weightless, nauseous feeling in the pit of your stomach. That's exactly how I felt when my brother, Trever, announced that he was leaving home. I was about twelve at the time and he was taking off to go join the army. There was nothing I could do to make sense of it in my head.

Later, after dinner, he pulled me aside and told me this: " If you ever get the chance to get out take it. But Raine. . .please understand, this is my chance now. My escape." My only brother then kissed me on the forehead and left. I was confused and devastated. It felt like my whole world was crashing around me. Who's fault was it? Mine? My parents? I wasn't sure. All I knew was that he was my only sibling, my one confident, and my best friend. If only I had known. Known how hard it is to leave but how easy it was to go. Then maybe, I wouldn't have resented him for all those years.
I miss him so much.

My brother gave me the greatest gift I could have ever imagined. He gave me my key to freedom.
I owe Trever so much.
