Reappearance by Nicole Aria Jackson (epub e ink reader txt) 📖

As you know this case is not normal. So there wouldn't be normal people covering it. Lily is a fairy and I'm a damphir or so to say my father was a vampire."
The sheriff I knew was stunned but understood. Deputy boy just stood there.
"Rory, the entity is full of evil. We have to catch the entity that did this."
" I can tell by your eyes before."
She realized what I meant and her eyes went back to their dark blue color.
" Sorry," came out her very soft as she looked down at the ground. Then the sheriff laughed a hearty laugh that scared the deputy out of shock.
" Well I'll be. Nothing to be sorry about detective. This may be my first time meeting your type but don't think I'm so closed minded."
We can tell he genuinely meant that. Next thing we know we hear a honk. We all ran to the front door and before the car actually stopped Sofia was getting out of the car.
" Looks like we're going hunting. Sheriff Bradley. I'm Sofia Grayson, the coroner. I hope you and your boys here are opened minded because I'll need your cooperation."
"We're at your service."
What just happened was easy to accept because what's coming next will probably make the stunned deputy faint or worse. Then again that wouldn't be a bad thing. I apologize for that comment. I guess I won't be a good girl today.
Chapter 4

Sofia got straight down to business. She asked the sheriff if his deputies could find a way to take the cameras from the reporters. When she asked that Lily and I knew she didn't want proof of us using our powers to get out into the world. By us I mean all magical and supernatural creatures. We have been in the shadows for centuries. There are some places that accept us but majority overrules. In the world we live in now having proof is better than having a person's word.
"Well that'll be a bit hard. These reporters keep flashing around permits so no matter what do we they just keep coming."
"I figured that. Show them this then they will have no choice or risked getting a maximum sentence."
She had a document from the governor giving the police and us authorization to arrest the reports if they don't leave.
" By god, you girls are some kind super heroes, huh? Okay boys round up the reporters."
"Lily, could you be as kind to go with the sheriff?."
Lily has a good girl face but it's a sight to see when she does a devious smile. Sophia and I waited in the backyard until everyone went to the front of the house. This investigation has started to not only peak my interest but also Sophia. There are few times when she actually was excited about a case. She had the widest smile on her face when we started to run through the forest to follow the smell of magical power. I wonder how this will end?

Chapter 5

We started to run through the forest to follow the smell of the powerful energy we were sensing and smelling.
"I wonder how far this guy has gotten?"
Any regular person would have difficulty running through this dense forest. Not our suspect nor us. Yes we go just that fast. The perpetrator's energy was getting stronger and the scent was starting to burn my nose.
"God the energy is so gross!"
By this time Lily had caught up to us. She was right. It seems this thing, whatever it was, wasn't trying to hide it's power. By this we figured it was a lower class and was enjoying the power high it was experiencing. We also figured out that due to this it would be paranoid. Any lower class beings have heard of our institute and us.
"Wait!"
We stopped so abruptly that I lost my balanced. Lilys' sudden call and the look she had was setting off alarms in my mind.
"What is it? Lily? What do you-"
That was all Sofia said when she caught a glimpse of Lily's face. Fairies are known as gentle creatures but there are actually bad ones as well. They are known by many names but with Lily tribe they're known as brownies. Her mother fell in love with one and let's just say Lily has a hidden sadistic side. The killer must be a very big power high because that hidden side was out and ready for action.
" That hooker of a singer must had pretty strong energy. Shame I didn't get to her first."
Since her parents were killed by rogue fairies in front of her, she was a tad bit unstable and living with a stripper club/brothel owner uncle didn't make matters better. Sofia stepped in front to meet her eyes.
"This is not the time to show, Lorelei."
Sofia gave Lily a kiss and after a few seconds Lily started to fight her way out of the kiss.
" What the hell was that for? This isn't the time to do that sort of stuff."
"Tell that to Lorelei."
Lily eyes went wide and then put her head down stuttering out an apology. Sofia pick her head back. "Don't worry. If she hadn't came out we would know how dark the killer is."
If Lorelei came out and wanted to join the killer this case is more serious than we thought it would be. To not only be that dark but also being paranoid due to that extra dark energy, we're gonna have to think of another approach to get near the guy. There was only method I could think. By looking at Sofia and Lily faces they were thinking of that method too. I'm not a big believer of religion but I was silently saying a prayer for what was to come.
