Chapter Six: When All Is Revealed and Bad Things Happen

As the door shut behind the visitor, Caden turned away, nervous. So, Lucas had done something wrong, very wrong, if the Mayor was after him. Caden feared for Lucas. He had begun to like this new face. Whatever happened he hoped it wasn't too bad, hoped that they would be merciful. He glanced out the window to see figures in black walking among the cars in the streets. Oh dear, this would be very bad indeed. Biting his lip, Caden looked to the phone, grabbing up the receiver and starting to dial the number of the Dusk Haven News. Sadly the number came up as nonexistent, a cool tone on the other end telling him so.  Another knock on his door startled him, and he cautiously opened the door. Had he been caught? Luckily no, it was only Gary. But Gary the intern had something important in his little intern hands; the Dusk Haven paper. Caden quickly grabbed it up and drew Gary the intern into his office, closing and locking the door behind him. The two poured over the paper, which read as such:

DUSK HAVEN NEWS

So, what is going on in Dusk Haven? Hard hitting report by Lucas Dunver.
In my brief time in this small town of Dusk Haven, I've seen a good amount of unnatural events; Animals from the sky, flying lights above my head, shadows waling on their own, and even a slide with something living underneath it, dragging it all over town. And the whole time, I thought to myself, "Lucas, why is this all happening?"Well I believe I may have uncovered the truth. The reason that everything odd is happening here, is that this place is a secret haven for the supernatural. As in, Dusk Haven. Everything odd and weird is attracted to this place, because the citizens see them as average and every day. This little town on the edge of nowhere, is the one place they can feel at home. The town's government has been suppressing the fact that this isn't normal, and that outside of here, this doesn't happen. That outside of here, Angels don't visit, Shadows stick to their owners, and there isn't a nice man at the radio station, keeping you all calm with his soothing tones as he tells you the days happenings, assuring you its normal.

Caden looks up at Gary, and knows what he has to do. He goes to his microphone, and breathes a deep, deciding breath. "Hello, Listeners. I have some very important news for you." Caden begins to read the article, all of it, to his listeners. He and Gary the intern both know that he is breaking some very major Dusk Haven rules. They are taking a huge risk here. Caden finishes the article, and looks out the window, witnessing the surging mass of black figures pushing into the radio station. He sighs, and looks at Gary, before speaking into the old and trusted radio station microphone. "Now, Listeners, after this broadcast, I may not be back, and if I am...I may not be the same. I ask you to remain calm, and keep tuning in to your favorite station." Gary jumps up as the door starts to rattle and shake, being smashed into by innumerable fists and arms and bodies. Caden Lucius closes  his eyes, and, as the door crashes down, and the angry shouting of the dark figures becomes louder, and even as a gun is pressed to the back of his head, Caden smiles.

 "Goodbye, Listeners, and goodnight."
