Huntsville Chapter 1 1.01 The New Horror

This tale is set in the sleepy Oregon town of Huntsville. What was once an innocent town now has been changed forever by the strange disappearance of the Huntsville High football team. The Police remain unable to determine where they went or who abducted them.

The town, which had enjoyed peace and prosperity, is now regarded as a hunted town.

Every week, one of the players who has been missing is found dead by the authorities. Additionally, the fourth body has been discovered floating down the Huntsville River in the fourth week, sending another shock wave of fear back into the town again.

Getting back to downtown Huntsville's Elm Street. A strong knock on the door, Knock Cole out of his obsessive diary.

"Charlie, you have a visitor?"

"Jezz, you scare the crap out of me, Dad" Charlie exclaims,

"Next time try writing your weird diary without putting on your headphone," Fred says.

"what do you want, Dad?" Charlie asks.

"I don't know, some girl with blonde hair wants to see you."

"Thanks, Dad, Tell her I'm coming," Charlie responds as his head is still fixed on his book.

"Tell her yourself, get your ass down there now." He tells his son again before walking back down to the kitchen.

Charlie closed his diary book, grabbed a pile of flyers from the printer, and stacked them on the shelf.

"Jezz, Did Nate tell everybody at school about me or something? This is the fourth time in a single week, Jesus Christ."

Charlie swaggers down the stairs, but at the sight of his visitor, he stops dead. it wasn't one of the students from his school that keep coming to his house and asking Charlie to cheat for them in the exam.

"What the fuck? Why are you keep coming to my house, Cheryl?" Dissapoiment and anger toward his schoolmate reappear again in Charlie's head.

"Charlie, I'm sorry, that I sold you out last time, I know I'm wrong, I'm here to make it right, please forgive me?" the blonde teenage girl says.

"You cost me my school scholarship, you dipshit!!! I don't ever fucking want your sorry, okay, all I want is my fucking stupid scholarship back." Charlie says as he raises his tone up another notch.

"What if I told you I can get your scholarship back?" Cheryle says, happiness written all over her face.

"How, Principle Dipshit made it clear he doesn't want to see my face at his school ever again." Said Charlie as his hand still hold onto the door handle.

"Principle Hiram is gone okay, my Dad is the new principal of Huntsville High now."

"Why I mean he is a dick, but he is still a good principal?" Charlie mumbles.

"Hmm, the family of the football team wants him gone, they even went the extra mile to protest in front of the town hall."

"Well, this is the first time mayor Blossom, listen to his minions," Charlie smirks.

"Yeah with the Prescott family backing them, that's why Mayor Blossom fired principal Hiram and replaced him with my dad," Cheryle explains.

"So your dad is now in bed with the Prescott family, that just fucking fantastic." Charlie cursed, as he run his hand through his hair. He did it every time he feel stressed or overwhelmed.

"They not that bad, Charlie, They help build the road, hospital, and the new football field for the school football team."

"Yeah, with their drug money." His forehead creases and his blood vein start to emerge out of his skin again, showing how angry he is toward the town's richest family in town.

"Don't mean to be a dick, Charlie, but you don't have proof."

"Talking about proof, huh, My dad when he was still the chief of police, he nearly got the damn proof that was strong enough to bring the entire Prescott family down, but they use their drug money to bribe their way to freedom and robbed my dad out of his job and my family house, that why now we are this poor, Cheryl."

"I'm sorry about that Charlie, I really am."

"It doesn't matter now, so about the scholarship, what is your dad's offer?"

"My dad said, he will give you back your scholarship if you join the Bulldog, football team."

"Okay, Fine, I join the Bulldog," He sighs.

"So that it then, welcome back to Huntsville High again Charlie. Sadie will be really happy to see you back, See you on Monday." Cheryl says, her smile widening even further in happiness.

"Yeah yeah don't crimp your paint, Cheryl, I don't forgive you yet."

"I know I know, but at least it makes you happy now."

"You want my forgiveness, come with Sadie to Pop's dinner after school, if you come you have my forgiveness."

"Consider it done, smackhead," Said Cheryle.

A few days passed, and Monday come so fast, this is the first time in three months that Charlie step foot in Huntsville High's front yard since he got expelled. The trip from Charlie's house on Elm Street to Lakewood High takes less than 30 minutes, but they are the longest 30 minutes of Charlie's existence.

Overwhelmed with anger and despair, when he arrived at the parking lots, parked his bike, he went straight to the school's hall, scan everything around him with his dark blue eyes, looking for the one girl in the entire school that can cure his loneliness, his depression and can calm him down.

His heart starts racing when his pair of eyes finally located her. Sadie Mayfield, his best friend, girlfriend, and his soulmate. Everything Charlie ever dreamt of in one body.

"Sadie," Charlie yells with excitement while standing by himself on the other side of the School's hallway.

Sadie's ears immediately pick up the calls. She turns to look around her to see if it is just in her head or somebody did call for her. She still didn't know Charlie come back to school yet, because Cheryl want to surprise her best friend, even though she was the one who get her best friend's boyfriend expelled in the first place.

Sadie's jaw drop and her face turn red in an instant as she finally saw the white haired, blue-eyed boy, Charlie, on the other side of the hall.

"Charlie !!"Sadie exclaimed with tears in her eyes,

"Hi Sad, I'm back," Charlie replies with an open arm waiting for Betty to run into it.

Without hesitation, Sadie drops her book and runs straight into Charlie's arm that waiting on the other side.

"I thought I never see you again, Charlie," Sadie says against his chest.

"Me too, I really miss you, my love."

"So you got your scholarship back, How."

"Oh, it Cherly doing, she pulls some strings with her dad and got my scholarship back."

"In exchange for??"

"Me joining the Bulldog."

"Seriously, I thought you quit it, after your last accident, Charlie."

"I don't have a choice Betty, Cheryl said the deal is non-negotiable."

"let me talk with her then."

"There's no need, Sad, I also want to play football again, and try to rebuild the Bulldog back to its glory."

"Somebody else can do it for you. It doesn't have to be you all the time." Sadie says, as she still maintains eye contact with her boyfriend.

"I'm the only experienced player left in this entire school. The new recruit needs someone to lead them, I can't abandon the Bulldog like that, especially in this difficult time when it needed me the most, Sadie." Charlie explains.

"Okay, I understand, but what about your art class with Mr. Jefferson, you gonna drop it too."

"No, I'll talk with principal Parker, to squeeze Art class into my school schedule, don't you worry Betty."

"I hope so."

"I'll meet you later, okay, I need to go to the principal office now."

"Bye, love you beb."

"Love you more," Charlie shouts back causing everyone in the hall to turn their attention toward him.

"Oh...sorry," Charlie says before making his way into the Principle office.

________

In Principle Parker's office, the interior smell overwhelmingly of Cheryl's perfume, with Cherly's Portrait hanging behind Principle Parker's office desk.

Opening the office door, Charlie saw Principle Parker, busy typing on his Laptop's keyboard with a lot of files on the other side of the desk.

"Hello, Principle Parker, I come here to thank you for having me back, sir"

"No worry there, Mr. Murdock, we are glad to have you back in Art class and in the Bulldog football team,"

"Sir, How do you know?"

"Cheryl told me, she said you are an outstanding student with amazing photography skills and Football spirit, and I know she was also the one who get you expelled from this school the last time, and I'm sorry for her, and I'm here to make it up to you.

"It's okay, Principle Parker, Cheryl, and I, we are good now."

"Glad to hear it, so I have another proposal for you Cole, I want you to be the new Bulldog's captain, I talked it over with coach Clayton and he agreed." Said the Principle.

"Thanks, sir, I will not let you down, sir." Charlie responds,

"That's it, Charlie, you can go back to class now."

"Thank you again, sir."

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
