The Woods, Part 13 and Kama Sutra, AU spangel

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

Will Atherton brought his son to a new development in the pristine woods of Washington State, thinking it was a great place to live. But there is something in the woods. Something watching. Something dark. Even the reassurances of soft-spoken and confident Sheriff Liam Roarke can't chase away Will's growing awareness of something that doesn't want he or his son or anyone else to live on the mountain.

Previously: "Royce needs a bath, Connor," Will said, wrinkling his nose at the old blanket they'd used to transport the puppy with. "And I think we better wash that blanket."

Holding the puppy carefully, Connor climbed out of their SUV. Will stretched over to Connor's seat and gingerly removed the soiled blanket. He had a feeling he'd be doing a lot of cleaning up in future, but it was worth it to see his son so happy--

"...Dad?"

Will stiffened at the uncertainty and fear in his son's voice. He dropped the blanket and sprinted to his son's side.

A familiar big man slouched in the alcove by the front door, giving Connor a charming smile. "Hey, kid, you miss me?"

"No," Connor growled.

Will felt like someone had punched him in the chest.

Adam.
