Pain
I've never wanted this life for myself—this life filled with perils and evil. It's like a dream I can never escape from—a dream which I'm forever stuck in. Heh, no one ever wanted this life or ever wished for it. You'd be either insane or extremely evil to wish for this kind of life—the life where you don't have a choice over anything—the life where you're bound by your deepest desires.I never wanted to enter into the supernatural world. I never wanted to come across the Crimsones[1], Lycanthropes[2], demons and the rest. I never wanted to be involved in anything pertaining to the dark and supernatural world. I had always yearned for freedom and not servitude. But of course I was wrong all along. I had been delusional, thinking I'd be able to escape it all—to escape from fate. I never knew I would be pulled into this mess, becoming one of those dark creatures which roam about in the ungodly night. I never wanted to be a merciless predator who was also a prey to another predator (what

A Dream?
Ouch!So much pain!Am I dead?Daniel cracked his eyes open slowly as he groaned, taking in his environment. He immediately began shivering in fear after remembering what had happened, his pupils dilating as he saw himself still lying in the woods. He could see the brown glowing eyes of the Lycanthrope glaring at him, its claws ready to bear down on him."Don't kill me!" he yelled in fear as he broke down in fear. "Don't kill me!""It's okay," a feminine voice said, warm arms wrapping around him. Slowly he recovered from his trauma and didn't see the Lycanthrope anymore. He then realized that he was no longer in Crimson Woods but was in his own room. He realized that he was shivering at a corner on his bed, his mother's arms wrapped around him in a comforting manner. There were two cops standing in front of them, both dressed in starchy grey uniform."It's alright, son," Mrs. Stark, his mother said as she stared into his eyes with her brown comforting eyes. At one glance you would not

Bullies Again
That morning Daniel woke up earlier than usual, his eyes puffy as if he had not had a good sleep. The truth was, he didn't actually have a good sleep throughout that night. Every time he slept he would have a nightmare, jolting up instantly in fright. He still remembered the incident from yesterday and it was plaguing his mind.Calm down, it's only a delusion, Daniel told himself as he stood up from bed in order to prepare himself for today. He was a 16-year old kid at Grade 10 in Crimson High School, the biggest school in that city. He was well-known to supercede his peers in the classroom. In the aspect of academics, he was considered excellent and very intelligent, always topping the class. He has also made a mark for being one of the most punctual students in his class so he had to maintain that image.He hurriedly tied a white towel around his waist and dashed to the bathroom to take a bath. In no time he was done with washing up and went to dress up. It was at this point he noti

Crushing
After several minutes students began trooping into the class, filling the twenty seats. Those who came on their own silently made their ways to their chairs while those who came in groups chatted noisily as they giggled to take their seats. Everyone avoided Walter and his gang who were already seated at the far back of the class, their eyes fixed on Daniel as they awaited the coming of Felicia. They wanted to see if this idiot would dare foolishly act lovey-dovey with that girl.Daniel sat on his chair which was near the left wall of the class, the position of his chair standing between the front and back rows—he was among the people who sat on chairs arranged in the middle row. A novel was on his desk in front of him, his eyes looking in between the words written with a feigned interest. The book he was reading was a werewolf novel and it was titled: Werewolves. Although he loved reading novels like this, he was very much distracted and couldn't even read. He had to put up this act t

At Her Table
Around 11:45am, the bell rang for lunchtime. Students who had begun yawning due to hunger (and boredom) immediately trooped out of the class like ants without being told to do so. At least, this was the only thing they could do without being told to do.Daniel stared at Felicia, looking up from the novel he had been reading. He saw the hot noble girl wink at him with her left eye, a warm smile appearing on her face."I'm off to eat," Felicia told Daniel as she stood up. "Aren't you coming?""Uh, not right now," Daniel stammered. "I need to finish at least three chapters of this."Felicia stared at him for some moments before saying, "Never knew you were such a bookworm."She then walked out from her seat towards the door. As she reached the door, she added, "And a scaredy cat.""..."She saw through my timidness? Daniel was momentarily at loss. He had actually been afraid to go out with Felicia and it was because of two reasons. The first reason was because of her mean looking and dom

Orpheus Rodolfo
Orpheus walked along the dark street, his hands placed in his pockets. His pace was calm as if he owned the street and no thief would be able to turn up on him. He walked to a part of the street where street lights were lined, shining radiantly. The street lights illuminated his figure, exposing his looks and all.Orpheus was a tall and slim 16-year old with taut muscles that gave him the bearing of a perfect gymnast. His hair was as red as blood, curly and long that it rested on his shoulders. His eyes were also red, hypnotic in nature with the ability to compel everyone they stare out to submit onto him. His face was extremely gorgeous like a model's, having a hint of feminity in it. It was the kind of face one couldn't get off his mind even after hours. Moreover he had the demeanor of a noble child, calm and composed. Dressed in a red pyjamas and a pair of red flipflops, he looked like a casual person walking about in his bedroom.In reality his father, Luther Rodolfo was a well-kn

Lucky Day
It was a few minutes near closing and Daniel was already prepared to escape. Immediately the bell rang, he would make a dash for it. This time he wouldn't be taken a bend through Crimson Woods which was at the back of the garden. Sometimes he wondered why a school would be so close to a deadly woods like that. Well there was a fence separating Crimson Woods from Crimson High School but Daniel felt that wasn't enough. What would a solid fence do to an evil spirit which wanted to get through into the school? Absolutely nothing.As his mind brought up escape plans for him, Felicia was busy chatting him up. She was busy flipping her expensive smartphone in front of him, talking non-stop."Lady Licia, a noble child doesn't talk this much," Daniel muttered to himself as he resisted the urge to do a facepalm. Here he was trying to escape those bullies and here was Felicia distracting him with talks. Inasmuch he was crushing on this girl, he loved his life more. As a timid person it was also

"Meow"
Chapter Eight: "Meow"17th Woodbury, Crimson Springs.This street was among the quietest streets in the city. Not only did it have few vehicles running around, it also had few people walking about. In a hot afternoon such like this when it was supposed to be bustling with activities, the street was empty of people as if it had been abandoned. If not for the few pedestrians who walked by the sidewalks one would think an alien spaceship had beamed everyone away.Daniel walked along the sidewalk as he pushed his bicycle. His face wore an exhausted look and he was covered with perspiration. To be honest, he was very much tired from the whole event today. Who knew Walter would be so bent on getting him? How the heck did he even know the route he was gonna take?Daniel wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with the back of his right hand as he heaved a sigh of relief. If he hadn't been a pro at riding bicycle, he probably would have been caught and dealt with by Walter and his gang of id

Cursed
Growl? Rumble?Mind you that wasn't the sound of some wild animal or the roaring of thunder. Rather it was the grumbling of someone's stomach due to being starved. And this was none other than Daniel.After spending minutes staring at Carolina in dazed, he snapped out of it after hearing the sound coming out of his own stomach. It was at this point he realized that he was starving."Man after having a sumptuous lunch with Felicia I still feel like I just returned from a three-day hunger strike," Daniel frowned as he immediately began cleaning up the mess on the floor. Due to his tidiness OCD he spent so much time cleaning the floor that before he finished, it was 4:30pm.Caroline meowed as it lay on the ground, curling itself into a ball and closed its eyes. Obviously it was filled from eating the mushrooms and fell asleep immediately.Daniel yawned hungrily as he walked to the kitchen to find some food to eat. He wasn't hopeful that he would find any food there since his mother would

A Lil' Secret to Keep
The chat with the other members continued, Daniel finding the whole conversation very interesting. Inasmuch as he wanted to log off Facebook to go and read his chemistry textbook, he was compelled by the flowing vibes not to. There was so much fun down here!"So what's the name of your cat?" Sexy Peacock asked, taking everyone by surprise. She rarely asked questions pertaining to someone else. That wasn't her behaviour.Except she likes cats, Daniel thought as he shrugged. He then typed, "Her name is Caroline.""*spits beer*""😶""🌚"Crying God, Unknown and Evil Buddha sent their messages. Only Sexy Peacock didn't sent hers. It seemed she was very interested in Daniel's cat that she didn't seem amused by the human name. She always became very serious when topics interested her."Isn't that a human name?" Crying God asked."Enough with the gender inequality🙄" Sexy Peacock typed. "Doesn't your male dog answer Johny?""That's a male 🐕" Crying God typed."Exactly why I asked you to st
