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
I followed Chase out of the house through my window as he drove us back to school. I exhaled and looked at him as he came to a stop. Today will not be forgotten. He held my hand and kissed me on my lips. He unbuckled his seatbelt and came down and shut the door behind him.I also got down and walked towards him then Denise ran out of the door and hugged me tightly. "I was worried." "It's okay. I got her." Chase said as he held my hand. "You guys are back together?" She asked. Opening her teeth widely, smiling. "Yes we are and I'm not letting her go. Forever." "Hmm." Denise said as she ran towards an ash car. "This is it." She said. "Chase got you a car!" She yelled. "Keep your voice down, Denise." I ran to her as she unwrapped the car. It was a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita. I opened my mouth when it was reviewed. "Denise, please check the price online." Denise brought her phone out and looked at me with her mouth open. "It's 4.8 million dollars." I gasped and focused on Chase. "
"She isn't in her room?" Inez 'mother asked Arden as he came down the stairs.Arden shook his head. "No mama she isn't even with her bag and the book is in there." "I'm scared." She touched Inez 'father's hand. "What if the truth is out? Inez Isn't like this. She would have been home by now." "Calm down, what we did for her was to keep her safe and we kept her safe until today. and maybe she encountered something and will be coming home late or even in the morning. We can't report this now and if we don't see her in the morning, we will report to the council." Inez 'mother smiled at her husband. "Let's go to our room then." She said and they heard a knock on the door. She ran quickly. "Inez, is that you?" She opened the door and saw two men in police uniform. "You are under arrest Mr and Mrs Sivan." The cop said. "What do you mean?" Mrs. Sivan said as he cuffed her. Arden got angry but she stopped him. She knew the type of son she had and he'd transform but she doesn't want the
"Is there any other way to get there quickly?" Chase asked. "It is dark here. Things have changed here more than it was when I was here. It's as if King Cain suddenly owns everywhere." "He is the vampire king. Of course, he will crave to have everything in his possession." Denise said as we started to walk on foot. "Lydia, do you know how we can get to The Sivan's house quickly?" I asked. She stopped and flashed the touch on the floor. Bones everywhere. "Wow. No sign of abandoned horses. I guess they rot because of hunger or they were eaten." We heard growls from afar. Not from one monster but from different ones. "They know humans are here. They sense your aura." Both Lydia and Denise's embroidery started to glow red. Bookie too. It seemed to have information for us.I opened my bag and took Bookie out. I opened it and it started to show us a trail from under the ground. But we'd have to pass through demons before we get there. They can't afford to see us because they will ca
"You?" She asked. "You are going to sacrifice yourself for humans?" "Not Inez Sivan but Moonbeam will." "How are the both of you different from each other?" "This is my destiny and the reason why I have lived till today... It was to protect humans. So I have to put myself as the bet. That way... you can have time to finish the rituals and take him down." I walked into my room with her. "But Inez, what if you go to the underground with him? What if you also vanish? What then?" I smiled as I handed her a cloth from the wardrobe. "At least I fulfilled my destiny."…"Turn off the lamps... they will notice us." Lydia said as we stood in front of the academy. She looked at her sisters. "Turn it off." She whispered before casting a spell to break the padlock of the gate.We entered and immediately, the gate closed. They were onto us. Monsters with wings were flying around trying to see if they would get prey. "took cover guys." I said as we hid behind a tree. Growling of monsters in
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
