I placed a book on my desk and looked up at her. "Look Ava, I don't expect you to believe me but something is happening in this world that you mortals are unaware of." I stared at her for a bit and finally took my eyes off her. "All my life, everything hasn't been normal, and let's talk about the guy from last night, he..." "You mean your Imaginary friend? The one I and Owen couldn't see?" She asked."He is real and his name is Theo Moore. He is a..." "You even named him?!!!" Ava asked. "Never mind Ava, since you won't believe my story." She heaved a sigh. "I think you are being paranoid Inez and maybe, just maybe someone spiked your drink without you knowing, I think you need to have proper sleep and when you wake up, I guess, the things you think are real, might be imaginary. Try laying your head on the desk, I will cover for you when a lecturer comes in." She turned to face the board as I laid my head on the desk. I could bet it was real. The demon, Theo, and even the hunter'
"According to his plan, Hamlet begins to act strangely. He rejects Ophelia, while Claudius and Polonius, the royal attendant, spy on him. They had hoped to find the reason for Hamlet's sudden change in behavior but could not. Claudius summons Guildenstern and Rosencrantz, old friends of Hamlet to find out what's got into him. Their arrival coincides with a group of traveling actors that Hamlet happens to know well. Hamlet writes a play that includes scenes that mimic the murder of Hamlet's father. During rehearsal, Hamlet and the actors' plot to present Hamlet's play before the King and Queen." Beauty paused as she stared at me. "Are you alright?" She asked."The story is making me emotional," I replied."I was also like this when I first read it. I even watched the movie and lord knows I cried and didn't eat for two nights." She starts to laugh. "But I hope that someone isn't going through this type of tragic romance because it will be hard if they are going through it." "Do you thi
"Maybe it's just in your head Inez," Ava said. She still couldn't believe what I said. She thought I was making up stories. "You are being paranoid.""I am not Paranoid Ava and you don't understand anything okay?!!" I shouted at her and walked away. She just couldn't see what was going on. Is it until I show her my fang before she knows about Vampire existence? I promised myself not to be reckless. People mustn't know I was not fully human unless it would be chaos and I didn't want that. My secret has been leaked to the demon hunters and they are coming back for me.…."No one's here, the bed is still warm. She can't be far away.""We never are." A girl said as she came out into the open.The man holds his gun firmly. And beside him is another man. "Where did you come from witch?!!" He grunted as he tried to shoot her but instead she threw a knife at his leg and started to chant an incantation. The man started to gasp as fire rounded him and the witch continued her chants and the fi
"Open up Inez." I heard Ava's voice. I exhaled slowly as I walked to open the door. "I'm so sorry about earlier." She handed me a plate. "It's pie. Do you accept my apology?" She asked.I nodded. "Yh I do. It's okay." I collected the pie. "Thanks, let's hang out tonight with Owen and his friends. It will be fun." "I'm sorry but I will be busy. I promise to call you when I'm done, okay?" I said to her, I felt bad we couldn't spend a lot of time but I needed to do something about this hunter before he comes for me again. "Okay." She said as she smiled at me. She walked to her room.….A big building loomed in the distance, the windows were like hundreds of unblinking eyes glaring out. Theo placed his hand on my shoulder. "We are here."I rolled my eyes and focused on the building. It wasn't there the minute I left the building the other day but it was there now. So, I wasn't dreaming? Was it real? I asked myself. "This is stupid," I said. "You don't need my help," I said again to
I could see another blow approaching me and due to my good sight, I was able to catch on and used that opportunity to hit him in the chest with the back of my sword. Yes, he was down and there was blood coming out of his mouth. Immediately, I kicked him in the face so he wouldn't stand up so easily. I didn't want to ruin his cuteness so I stopped. "You are good. You deserve to be a queen." He finally said. "Theo picked a good and reliable one." He stood up and left the fighting room. I dropped the sword as I took my seat. "Can I get a mirror?" I asked Riley but she gave me her phone instead. "Wow," I said. "You don't use the iPhone series? This is the latest iPhone 13. I got it last week." "I meant my face. It's red. What will I tell my friends?" I said. As I checked the time on her phone. I left mine at the dorm." I paused. "10:30 pm?" I gasped. "I've got to go," I said."But you haven't seen the place finish." She said as she stood up. "Probably next time," I said to her as I
The living room was ajar as I and Beauty stepped inside. Beauty thought opening the wrapped clothes in public won't be the best thing so we went to her house to do more research about Vampires. I couldn't tell her I was one. Not a Vampire but Dhampir. Ava didn't believe in this stuff so she didn't follow us to Beauty's place. I stepped into a brown carpeted hallway as I watched her enter a room. Immediately she locked the door behind her. I dropped my bag. Stared at her room which was pained in a dark brown color. Warm and also almost dark for a lady to stay in. My room in NYC or dorm had more light than the one Beauty stayed in. I brought out the unwrapped cloth and placed it on the bed. "So no one's around?" I asked. Trying to get more information from her. Her house seemed weird in a way but it might be my mind. "No, my dad is the dean, remember? and my mom is out of town for business. She is a doctor." Beauty said. "Then why is your door open if no one is home?" I asked he
"You are avoiding me." She said as she took the sandwich from my plate and put it in her mouth. "It is obvious. Don't make it obvious." I frowned at the sight of seeing her eat my food."What! I'm hungry." She pouted. "I'm not avoiding you, I'm... I'm ... just trying to... clear my head." I stuttered. She brought her head up and down slowly as she continued to chew. "You know you are lying." "I'm not." I lied. I guessed she could smell the nervousness in my voice. So much for being Queen of supernatural beings in the shadow world. Beauty rolled her eyes. "I've got good news, the guy you were staring at yesterday." I try to remember but nothing came to my mind. "Who?" I asked."The one with the blondie girlfriend." She rolled her eyes again as she swallowed. "You just finished all my food." I placed my hand on my chin. "I'm still hungry," I said. "Do u want to hear the news or not?!!" Beauty asked. "What about Chase?" I asked. She bit her lips trying to keep up. "Who?" She as
Beauty can also see through him. She is a witch after all and they were powerful beings and luckily for me, she couldn't see a thing because I had so much power that witches don't even know I possessed, not even Theo or the hunters.I was a hybrid with so much power, I could destroy anything or anybody who came between Chase and me and I won't hesitate to keep the council out of the way to have what I have always desired. Chase.I heard a tap on the desk as I recovered from my daydream. "Inez, they just chose Daniel to play the role of Hamlet. Lucky you." Beauty said with excitement. I didn't get why she was happy but fuck! I was really happy."Wow." Maybe the lord was really on my side. We will spend so much time together learning our lines. Alone.I smiled shyly. Exactly how I wanted it to be. Chase and Inez are together once again after a long time of breaking apart. What was fate up to?"See me in my office...Both of you." The lecturer pointed at me and Chase as we both looked at
