Welcome to Kinley, Louisiana!
Piper-
It's been years since I'd been home. My life as an adult wasn't grand but it was okay. I'd be back in my hometown of Kinley, Louisiana for a few weeks on a forced vacation. A place that I had run from.
I needed the break but it was also time to face what I'd left behind.
What I never thought could happen, though, was that I was coming home to fear.
Emeric-
She was back in Kinley and so was I. Piper Temple had always looked pretty as a young girl, but now, she looked even more beautiful than ever.
Would this be our chance to finally be a couple and for me to protect Piper from the person who was after her?
The Blood Bayou Killer-
Wasn't that the most sweetest load of crap you've ever heard?
I hid in the shadows long enough and saw entirely too much.
It was time to ruffle some feathers once more.
Let's see who remembers…me.
Us.
But only when I am ready to strike, and they will least expect it.
