blood; fear Jacob has been killed by Nathan. See truck leave so follow it to crash site. Find Jacob with neck severely wounded but not Nathan. Take Jacob to Grill. Tuck goes to Athelinda for help. She says she was rescued by another vampire orphan boy from the bone house. Orphan went by Isaac, then Nathan Bell…. But he is a child vampire. Tick realizes Jacob is the vampire responsible for the murders and tries

The church’s cross was lit on fire and windows shattered.

Quick update: Colleen is the captive girl (vampire) who was rescued by another vampire that was going to enslave her sexually so she killed both the captor and “saviour”. Starts churches across the country as she wants to be human.

Tuck&Barb continue investigating. Marlow found deceased. Suspecting Nathan Bell-go there to find massive amount of

have any yet. He suggests Grace… but just then the windows of the church all break inwards. Colleen hears something “let us in”. Morlow tells her not to but when door is opened the voices stop, cross is on fire & a dead pig with its blood is written “we are gathering”.

Rita shows Barb photos of town from back in day: hopes of seeing Bone House. Rita has unexpected response to Barb when opening wrong door

Captive gets cookies and blood from captor. Had a sore on ankle from shackles: captor says he will look after it and that once widow is blocked she can be loose. She senses “other” again and pleads silently for help.
Marlow visits Colleen at church. Grace looks pale/unwell. Marlow says it would be beneficial for some ppl if Doc were dead so maybe not suicide. He’s there to collect $$$ but Colleen doesn’t

Beau tells her the vampire took “the boy” (Aaron’s head). Jess calls the Reverend. Caused Colleen to ask Barb for addressing ppl.
Athelinda took head so that she could give it to Merilyn, the mother who was dying in “hospital”. Jenny: vampire nurse provided opportunity for Athelinda to stab/kill Merilyn to prevent more suffering (even though illegal). Nurse and leader provide this dignity often in secret

…. by sending her Dad to the prison when Aaron (vampire) was going to be let out; Aaron killed and Beau has head as trophy. Jess warns of gathering; when vampire & humans battle. Jess says Marcus has to have gotten tattoo in Deadheart, not Anchorage.

Jess: before meeting Tuck in bar- while in woods finds her Dad talking but sees no one. He says “the girl vampire” & tells Jess she disguise herself as his wife.

Contd… lots of dead vampires = lots of artifacts with Marcus as a set up. Also considering an outcast vampire (I go back to Michael). Ring sent to taunt: more will be killed. Barb goes to Ritas for dinner; Ritas mom in other room; dying of cancer. Told how Tucker fled to woods & scared ppl away with crossbow. Tuck to Grill: drinking & ran into Jess. History behind them- she liked him- she also set him up….

Barb&Tucker go to Nathan’s: let selves in- quick interview- take a glass for prints. Then to Docs house. Looking in pt files: see pics of vampire artifacts & body parts: his home has none though- check rental house (Mowlams). Go to Marcus’: loose flooring in room: wad of cash, pot& white powder. Barb runs into Colleen who asks her to address ppl in AM at church. Tuck & Barb consider Doc expecting $$$: contd…

Nathan Bell: Todd’s BF & Jacob’s father. I am starting to believe Beau may have killed Todd. Beau is Jess’s Dad; Jess unsure why Jacob and Stephen even friends- maybe just bc of the hate of vampires. Jess goes to Beaus house: finds him not home: some sort of explosion occurred in living room. His crossbow is gone and footprints & blood lead to woods. Also discovered a vampire bat that she killed.

Confused myself. Beau is grandpa in his 80’s. Nathan Bell is friend to Todd (first killed). Nathan was in town 1yr prior to both:then & now (Marcus). I was thinking Nathan killed Todd but say alibi is his grandparents (where he lived back then). Still a hunch it’s Michael but not sure why… maybe uncontrolled urge. More background on Barbs dad: drinker, violence (mom ate feelings) in home & hated vampires.
