I walked through the long corridor, giving glances at the portrait which decorated the off-White walls.It was as if they worshiped themselves here.A huge picture of Mr. and Mrs. Parker hung at the far end of the hallway. They were in each other's arms as they smiled at the camera dreamily.They looked… in love.But now, I guess their busy lives are replacing much of their family time because Chase doesn't always go to him often; instead, he enjoys staying with me.I turned to the side, spotting a picture of Chase and a little girl. His sister? He never told me he had a sister. He only told me about how busy his parents are.She looks beautiful.Chase was smiling wide, showing all his teeth and also holding his sister's hand.We kept on walking, turning down another hallway to a door.His mother pushed it open and we stepped into a big room colored sky blue.Now, I'm wowed."You like it?" She asked as I smiled at her."It's beautiful," I said as I dropped my bag. My eyes scanned the
I stood in front of the door and was about to knock when the door opened. I could see him standing in front of me. I looked up to meet his gaze, and immediately, he took three steps back into his room.I entered quietly without uttering a word.Silence took place for about five seconds before I finally spoke up. "I know you hate me now and you still find it unbelievable. I can explain. It's true. I'm not like you.""What do you want, Inez? If that's even your real name.""I don't know about that either, but my family calls me that." I chuckled a little and focused again. "Please don't tell anybody about me. The truth is, I'm a dhampir and I have a mission here. To save the human race from the vampire king, Cain. As I've heard, he is cruel and very ambitious and will do anything to get what he wants.""Okay, I won't tell anybody about you being a monster." He looked away. Trying not to look me in the eyes.I tried to touch him, but I hesitated and dropped my hand back to my side. He ca
"He called me a monster," I said as tears started to roll down my cheeks. "Come here." She said. And I laid my head on her shoulder. "You will be fine. I am here with you and we will save the world together." I heard a beep.I removed my head from her shoulder. "I think they want our attention," I said as I put my phone back into my pocket. It was a message from principal Elise. We walked out of the room together.I needed to see the council and tell them about Denise. Denise can read the book of the supernatural. What is going on?"So Chase's Dad won't be around but his mom is and she will be attending to us. And Jada, you can also use the pool." Principal Elise said as we came to join the gathering. "I already asked Chase's mom and she already permitted it." "Okay, alright guys, who are ready to party?!" Principal Elise shouted. And everyone followed along. The boys went to prepare the barbecue while the girls were in the kitchen. Jada was in the pool. She just wouldn't help us
Dear diary,Corner is like me. I haven't spoken to him before but all I can feel is a great aura coming from within. I feel fear. A lot of it and it makes me want to cry. Chase found out about what I am and now he is scared of talking to me or even getting closer to me. He was the reason why I had hoped to keep living. My first love... the only person I will give my life to in order to save him. And Denise can read Latin. Shocking! A language only I understand. My best friend understands it and I guess that might mean something right? I have to go to the council today to tell them about it. "exire debeo." (I have to go.) I heard a knock on my door. That should be my mother. "It's opened." I said before putting my diary inside my cupboard. She entered with a book. "I found this and got this for you from the book shop... I thought you might need it." She placed it on my bed and I took a look at it and smiled at her. "Thanks mum." I said as she sat next to me. "So what is the p
"It's the embroidery.""The what now?" She seemed clueless. Of course she is."The reason why you are scratching." I exhaled. "Anytime bookie glow, you start to scratch and that happens." I pointed at her hand.She looked at her hand and screamed but I covered her mouth. "What the hell is that red thing?"Wow she is indeed a hunter."We need to see the council... I will explain everything to you when we get there."She looked at me. "It's like a tattoo.""I know but the council head wants me to bring you over if I notice that on your hand.""Inez, I'm not understanding what is going on here... please explain better before I go mad."I placed my hand on her shoulder and the book stopped to glow. She also stopped scratching."You were able to understand the book because of that mark on your hand." I said as she looked at it. It was already gone.She gasped. "Where is it?" She asked."Anytime the book glows, that happens... the mark appears. I guess that's how it works.""So that's why
She roared in frustration. She pulled a sword from her back and transformed back into a human. "You have gotten stronger.""Do not underestimate me." She raised her sword at me, but I clung to it with my sword. We kept fighting, and I tried to look for a spot to hit her without hurting her.I backed up, bending slightly toward her to miss her strike.Taking a step back, I grabbed my sword with my two hands and spun—the clinging of steel against steel had been going on for more than a minute when I struck her shoulder.She started to bleed, then roared again. I met her stare with a smile and struck again. She wasn't fast enough to block it, so I pierced the sword into her chest and drew it out.She was getting sloppy now as blood dripped down the front of her leather jacket.I was done messing around. She was making it far too easy. I lifted her up from the ground; her red eyes flashed. "You are weak! Go back to your master... I'm coming for his head." I said as I threw her across th
The freezing night air ruffled my hair and small snowflakes descends to earth slowly while the moon hid in a dark cloud. Tomorrow is my birthday. I walked through the wood but the sound of someone coming stopped me. Denise went home already. "Princess." I heard someone called. I turned to see who that was and the person immediately went on one kneel. "Princess?" I asked. Confusingly. I shook my head immediately. "I'm sorry, you are mistaking me for someone else." I said as I turned around and began walking again. "Princess Moonbeam." He called again and the name made me stop on my feet. I inhaled and turned to look at him again. That same name Este had mentioned."You know her?" I asked. "King Cais's daughter." "I do." He said. Of course, his aura was just like Corner's. The book of supernatural began to glow. 'The Silas Brother? He is one of them?' I whispered. The book glowed again then I brought out the dagger from the side of my bag. "Whoa... hey there, I'm not here t
I looked at her."Oh, I forgot, you can't get out of this body after 30." "And where did you see that from?" I asked.She twitched her nose. "Bookie. I read it." "So you can see my future now?" I asked, frowning."Not all, but... let's just put that aside. Where do you want to go today?" We walked towards the school door. "I don't know. You know anywhere we can go after class? I want today to be memorable. I want everything to be exciting and mysterious, and I want to discover many secrets and also visit new places." "Hmm, okay... After school, meet me at this same spot. I think I have somewhere we can go. For fun." "Awwn, thanks, sweetheart." As I hugged her, I said. "I love you too." She said as she removed my right hand from around her neck, and we both walked inside the hall. Denise left for her locker, and I could see Corner watching me. I guess he was trying to read me but couldn't get through. I waved at him, and he walked to me. "Can we talk?" "Yeah sure." "Not here
