This means Luke was anti-delena as well. Kai absorbed his feelings, his empathy and none that can muster up a single positive feelings toward Delena. By proxy Luke didn’t have a single positive feeling toward Delena which makes sense since he’s the main character to witness Elena’s destruction that season.
Ness was grinning like a Cheshire cat. “So, Jacob Romero or – should I say Bennett-Parker – are there any last words you want to say to your cousin, Bonnie? Or how about you Melissa, anything for your cousin, Malachai?”
Jacob’s face held confusion, staring at Bonnie and Kai. Melissa’s went through wonder, confusion and after settling on Kai’s, shock and realization.
Bonnie’s eyes widened while Kai’s face had an unreadable expression. “Oh my god,” Bonnie uttered in astonishment.
It starts off simple enough. After the wild success of their first podcast series, journalist Bonnie Bennett approaches her producer with the idea of creating a new series around interesting people with interesting lives. After recording material for the first episode about paranormal investigators, Bonnie meets Dr. Atticus Shane, a controversial and famous figure in the paranormal investigative community.
Dr. Shane is a man a contradiction and mystery- a rational skeptic heavily involved in supernatural investigation, a widower with a past that left him the prime suspect in his wife’s mysterious disappearance, and a professor with an office of bookshelves crammed full of white VHS tapes of debunked paranormal cases – it’s little wonder how Bonnie’s series shifts focus to the professor and his cryptic investigations.
With his foundation, The Shane Institute, offering a reward of one million dollars to anyone who can prove with undeniable scientific evidence the existence of the arcane, Dr. Shane has made quite a name for himself. Still, there are several unsolved cases, documented on black tapes lining a single shelf amongst his sea of pristinely solved cases. Soon Bonnie takes an interest in documenting Dr. Shane and helping him investigate these unsolved mysterious. But then their inquiries take them down a dark path of shadowy figures, missing children, and demonic entities, leaving Bonnie in over her head and questioning just what she believes.
When the podcast leads to call from a listener who works at a psychiatric hospital to call in for help, Bonnie and Shane meet a young, violent patient with an obsession for numbers and frightening – possible – psychic abilities. Having been hospitalized from a young age for the baffling murder of his parents and siblings, Malachai “Kai” Parker is as intriguing of a documentary subject to Bonnie as Dr. Shane is. It’s nearly impossible to tell if Kai may be the key to solving the mysteries of the black tapes or if he is simply nothing more than an extremely disturbed man, drawing Bonnie – and her listeners – deeper into this web of macabre in search of the truth.
In the end, the truth just may all be a matter of perspective. So ask yourself – do you believe?
Horror AU based on the podcast series “The Black Tapes” by Pacific Northwest Stories starring Alex Reagan, whom Bonnie’s character is based on. Atticus Shane is based on Dr. Richard Strand (who has a nice voice) and Kai is based on Simon Reese, who seemed like a perfect stand-in for him. Of course, I have an idea on just how this AU would deviate from the podcast story. But this bitch already has too many WIPS to juggle, so you guys get an aesthetic AU instead.
