Character: Adrian Webster

Former police officer, now hunting night creatures for a living (although he will probably just claim to be a “private detective”), Adrian is a medium and a wizard, who is currently investigating on the activities of the same cult that ruined his life ten years ago. Also, babysitting Aaron.


  • Adrian turns back to see the cause of the noise: a pale-skinned, long haired man, all dressed in back, trying to get up from the ground. Judging from the look of it, he probably jumped down from one of the windows of Arthur Hawthorne's house. A closer look on the creature's mouth shows pointy teeth and blood on his lips, as Adrian keeps reminiscing the conversation he had with Aaliyah just moments earlier: "...Something went wrong." "The vampire?" "Probably, yes." The creature jumps over the half wall that surrounds Arthur Hawthorne's house. Adrian turns to the other side to see where the vampire is going.

  • Adrian turns to look at his friend: "Good luck with him, Aaliyah". "Thanks... I'll need it. You too, be careful" the woman replies. Adrian leaves Arthur Hawthorne's house. As he walks, sheriff Crawford and the officer named Paul can be seen talking outside. Adrian walks past them without being noticed. Once on the sidewalk, he starts untying his hair, which was formerly styled in a bun. In the meantime, he starts reminiscing the conversation he just had with Aaliyah: "The shapeshifter was going to replace Arthur Hawthorne." A thud. Adrian turns back to look what caused the noise. "But..."

    1.21 – Good luck

  • "Oh, I-I'm sorry, I--" officer Paul Grant tries to justify himself, embarassed, but Sheriff Crawford interrupts him with a sigh: "Not you, Paul, I mean Webster" he raises his hand and points outside with his thumb "Jenkins, I want him out of here, now. We'll talk about this later. In my office." As soon as the two men leave, Aaliyah side-eyes her friend, clearly annoyed: "Well, thanks for making it worse, Adrian. Did you really have to react like that?" "Does he really have to be such an asshole?" Adrian snaps back, even more annoyed. Aaliyah takes a glance outside, clearly exhausted, and tries to tone it down: "He just doesn't know how to deal with the stuff you do. Like most of us, I guess" Adrian pauses, realizing that he definitely went too far: "...Point taken. I'm sorry for the trouble I caused". "Admitting it is the first step" says Aaliyah with a slightly mischievous smile "hurry up, now, before he comes back".

  • Both Aaliyah and Adrian approach the door to talk to Sheriff Crawford, who clearly doesn't look pleased. Aaliyah tries to justify herself: "Sheriff! We were just-" but Crawford cuts her off: "What is HE doing here? He's not an officer!" "Not anymore, you mean. Guess who I have to thank for that" Adrian replies, but Aaliyah is quick to nudge him to make him shut up: "He was just trying to help". "You mean that you were allowing him to do his usual... trickster bullshit" says Crawford, still angry. "The same bullshit that got your ass out of trouble for the past ten years, yes" Adrian replies back with a sarcastic smile, unable to stay silent. Aaliyah facepalms. In the meantime, a tall, red-haired young office enters the scene: "Sheriff? A moment, pl--" but Crawford isn't listening to him, still focused on Adrian: "SHUT. UP!" he barks, now more pissed off than ever.

  • Aaliyah covers her face with her hand, frustrated: "Jesus, I don't know how you manage to do this stuff for a living". "Trust me, it's less frustrating than dealing with sheriff Crawford" comments Adrian, as he gets up and starts fiddling with his gloves. Aaliyah takes a glance at the blue and red lights filtering through the window: "Speaking of whom..." - The door slams open. An old man in police uniform enters the room: "Jenkins! And... WEBSTER?!"

    1.18 – Speak of the devil…

  • "Shapeshifters can change their appearance into that of someone else" explains Adrian, "it's a form of magic, although rare, 'cos it requires a lot of skill. It's not inherently evil, but there are always those using it for their sick purposes. Like our friend here, apparently". "Which, in plain English, would mean...?" asks Aaliyah, still confused. "The shapeshifter was going to replace Arthur Hawthorne, but something went wrong", Adrian replies. "The vampire?" "Probably, yes".

    1.17 – In plain English

  • A transformation sequence. Arthur Hawthorne's "twin" slowly starts changing. His wrinkles disappear, his hair change color, his eyes get darker, until the true features of Kane the Shapeshifter are finally revealed: a thirty-something years old man with dark blonde, shoulder-length hair and brown eyes. Aaliyah stares at him in shock, as she keeps talking to Adrian: "I'm afraid the reality might be even crazier than your former theory". Adrian doesn't seem shocked at all, as he takes another look at the two corpses on the floor, realizing what happened: "a shapeshifter? Well, that actually makes a lot more sense!" "Does it?" asks Aaliyah, out of field " 'Cause I can't keep up with this shit at all".

  • "So what's your theory?" Aaliyah asks in a sarcastic and slightly irritated expression, "Arthur Hawthorne, who is actually a vampire, invited his twin for brother for dinner and had him as his main dish?" Adrian lets out another mischievous smile: "And I was the tactless one? But yes, that was my idea. The twin probably used his knife to defend himself, but... a simple knife won't work". "That still seems unlikely", replies Aaliyah, out of field "besides, what would it have to do with the other murders?" Adrian keeps looking down at the corpses, thinking. "It'd be... complicated. Anyway, you're right. Ol' Artie's teeth are fine. Those that aren't missing, I mean. He was not a vampire". "Good, so now that you're done playing dentist, you may want to take a look at this..." is Aaliyah's reply, as she stares in shock at... something that is happening out of field.

    1.15 – Playing dentist

  • "Only if you stake, behead or burn them. So far Arthur's body looks pretty intact, yeah... if we don't count the stabs all over his back, that is" replies Adrian, with a mischievous grin. Aaliyah scolds him: "You know, sometimes your lack of tact is really disturbing". "It'd be more disturbing to see him rising from the dead, trust me" Adrian replies back, as the two of them stare at Arthur's corpse on the floor. "Rising from the dead?" Aaliyah looks confused "you mean that Arthur could be still alive?" Adrian reaches forward with his hand to uncover Arthur's teeth: "'Alive' would be quite an euphemism, for a vampire. But yes, if I'm right, our Artie could be just knocked out. These monsters are tough to kill".

    1.14 – Tact

    Nov 16, 2020

  • Aaliyah Jenkins looks confused: "Uh? Are you saying that-" Adrian cuts her off: "I'm not saying anything yet, but there's a possibility. Looks like there was only the two of them, here. And sometimes the solution is easier than it seems". Aaliyah doesn't seem impressed: "Of that I'm well aware, no need for a lesson". She kneels to take a closer look at Arthur's corpse: "However... I thought those creatures turned into ashes, when killed?"
