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
I panted really fast. I could hear my heart breathing. "Do you believe me now?" He asked. "You knew?" I turned to face Lydia. "You knew." I approached her and reached for her neck. When I got hold of her neck, I hurled her toward the tree in rage, then walked back to Corner. "Calm down, Inez." he said, and I kept walking towards him.My hatred for King Cain increased as I turned around and walked back home in silence. I walked to the backyard and climbed the ladder to my room. I didn't let anyone know I was already home. I could do a lot of damage if I saw anyone next to me. I laid on my bed and began to cry. Over and over. Mom lied to me. Why did she do that? The council knows who I am and whose daughter I am, and still they kept it away from me.Why, mother, why? I keep crying as I question myself, then I heard a knock on my window. I didn't want to see anyone at the moment because I could damage the person or even use the person as my lunch. I opened the window and saw Chas
Ava was taken aback when she learned of my pregnancy and has remained by my side ever since. I haven't been able to return to the shadow world since Astrid was brought to this world and Chase's family had returned to NYC. That's what his mother said, at least. I was unable to inform my parents or Denise about Astrid's absence. Except for the council and my friends, no one knows my daughter has gone missing. "Are you going to get a cake today?" Chase inquired, his arms still wrapped around my shoulder. With tears in my eyes, I glanced up at him. "Today is a good day to make a wish. I have a feeling things will be different this time." He grinned, attempting to make me smile as well, but I'll be honest, it was difficult to return to being joyful or smiling. "No cake today," I murmured, my voice sluggish. "Why? I am fully supportive of all you do."I nodded. "I know." I rose up after releasing myself from him. I showed him the hair tie by opening my hands to him. "Her fragrance is fa
"You left NYC." "Ah. It brought us memories we didn't want to remember," she said. "About that. There is something you need to know. You should have your seat for this." She obeyed and sat down. "What is it dear?" she asked. "Come inside," I said. As Chase entered the house. His mother was shocked to see who it was. She didn't expect someone that looked like her son to suddenly show up. She gasped as she stood up. "What type of prank is this?" she asked. "It is not a prank. It is your son." "How is that possible? I watched him being buried. We all watched him be buried." she said. "Are you sure you looked at what was inside the coffin before he got buried?" I asked. She stopped talking as she glanced at Chase. Too scared to walk toward him and touch him. I could feel how she felt. How did her dead son suddenly come to life? She felt scared. As if it was a dream. As if, if she touched him, he would vanish. "What happened?" she asked. "I want to know everything." I glanced at
Alex paused in his attack, giving me a moment to back up, but he never took his cold eyes off me. "We can talk about this." I said. There was a questionable tone in her voice. "You won't leave the throne. Would you? Chosen one?""I can't believe you!" I yelled at him. "Why do you want this throne so much? Do you want to live forever just like my father tried to do? it never works out." What do you know? You won't understand what it feels like to own the world. To have the world now to your feet. To control the world to do what you want." He groaned. Held my head hard against the tree.I could see blood dripping from my head."Well, i know how hard it is to have the world as you responsibility." I hoped I could stall him with talking, just like in the movies. I also hoped my words would hide how utterly and completely terrified I was. "Do you understand? Don't do this. It is not worth it. All these humans won't be grateful to you. No matter what you do for them.""I shall have the th
The powers Beauty and Cleo used on them had no effect. They were strong enough. They brought the barrier and the Kanimas surrounded me. They opened their mouth to rows of sharp teeth. My power raged. Holding it down was like trying to stop a tornado with my hands. Different shadows rose around my fire. The dark power merged with mine. I lifted my hands after I was finally able to control the powers. I lifted my hand. My power felt lighter. I shoved my palms forward. My power burn through the charging creatures. I closed my palm. The red wave pulled back before it burned through the tree. A few Kanima melted into the ground, avoiding my attacks. I felt them behind me. Turning, I swing my palm in their direction. The black power came to me again. I shove my hands forward. Black and red flames reached toward the monsters. They were all on the floor. Burned. I didn't need the mountain ash to fight them all. My new powers were enough. I exhaled. "What the fuck happened?" Cleo walked
"Have you seen Theo this evening?" Ethan asked but Riley knew where Theo was but she mustn't say a word about it or Ethan will take the whole community what Inez and she had done. She was avoiding problems. "What do you mean?" she asked. "Theo? I thought he said we will attack the day of the full moon? This is just the 30th." he said. Riley nodded. "I remember now. Theo put me in charge of things here.""Why would he do that? Why not put me? Why you?" he asked. Frowning. "Why? Because I am a girl?" "I didn't say that." "Well, the way you spoke was clear enough. Theo is out of town. He said he had important things to do and he will be back tomorrow." "But this is important," Ethan said. Riley rolled her eyes. "That is why he put me in charge Ethan. He said I should lead the battle and I must do it today.""But?" "No buts. Just get ready for battle. Please distribute the weapons." Riley patted his shoulder and walked away. Ethan picked up his phone to call Theo but it was reac
I parted my lips and could feel the potion go into his mouth. To him, he would feel something sweet and would want more. He kissed me with so much passion but I wanted it to stop. When I felt the potion finally finished in me and already inside him, I stepped back from him. I exhaled. He opened his eyes. Thinking he did something wrong. I shook my head and walked back to my bed. Any moment from now, he would fall asleep for two days latest. I looked at him. "Come and seat down." I offered and he came to me and sat next to me. I continued watching my Netflix as I glanced at him every few seconds to see if the drugs was taking effect. Not until 30 minutes before he started to react. His eyes were closing deliberately. "Are you all right?" I asked. Pretending. He placed his hand on his head. "Is it hot in here?" he asked. Was he suppose to feel that way? I don't think so. Beauty didn't tell me there was side effects. "I need water." he said. I couldn't give him water. What if the p
I sighed as we sat down. "Chase!" I called. "Please do not ask me this again. It is difficult for me to see you want to get involved with this fight." "I am only trying to protect you," he said."I do not need protection!" I yelled at him. "I just want you to not get involved. Please listen to me." my tone became cooler. "You need my blood, Inez. I noticed how powerful you become whenever you feed on me. Please let me do this. Even if I can't fight those things, I can at least be your toy on the battlefield." he begged but I didn't want him in it. it was too dangerous for him to be there. We were dealing with the warlock here. My father's brother. He would get killed again. They will come after someone I love too but he was not getting it. He felt I was trying to keep him off because he wasn't powerful enough. Now I wondered why both the two brothers want to take my life from me. Things weren't making sense. Just like Corner said... It sucks to be special sometimes. "Can we talk ab
"She will. We have to rescue her." "You mean to kidnap her? Her father won't stand still and not do anything." I said. "I feel pity for her. I mean her only destination is him and school. She isn't even allowed to come to the dorm for now." I waved when she walks out with Cleo by her side. She had that frown on her face. "I know baby." I hugged her. "I guess I will have to leave now. I just hate this life. I mean. I don't want to miss the gist and die of boredom in that house and my father always has someone watch around the house in case I want to run away. I just can't wait to leave that house and get some fresh air to myself." she groaned when she heard her father call. "I'm coming!" she yelled as she walked in his direction. I could feel how angry she was. "Poor girl." I shook my head. Ava and hereafter seemed to be arguing before she entered the car and I watched him drive off. "Let's go girls." Cleo handed me her car key. She said she was feeling sick because of the exam.
I was flattered. "So it is settled, you take Olivia to the hunters to take care of her until after the war then I will find ways to return her memories." "But what about her exams?" Beauty asked. "We will use magic for that. Leave that to us Inez and take Olivia after your exam tomorrow." I couldn't argue anymore. She won. I couldn't let Olivia stay with me even though she looked like an innocent little child. She could be dangerous and I don't know anything about her too. Taking her to the hunters was a good decision and I still have something to tell Riley. I would ask her why she didn't show up when I called the night Cleo and I made the potion. Cleo stood up. "I will get going now.""What? Where would she stay for the night?" I asked as I pointed toward Olivia who was still licking the sweet Beauty gave her. The sweet kept on popping up and doesn't want to finish. "You said she could stay in the laundry room earlier," Cleo said. "That was before she looked cute. I can't do
