"They are witches. Powerful ones." Lydia said to me. "I will take care of them." "Denise, take Chase out of here." I said to her as she carried the sack along with Chase, finding their way out of the academy. "You made a mistake, Moon. My men will find them and have them for brunch." She licked her lips. She tried to attack me, but I withdrew the blade from the attack before it could hit me by rotating it around the hilt to hit with the false edge on the other side. She started her monologue again. Wanting me to willingly come with her but I don't think she gets it. I stepped back, balancing my weight on my left foot, and threw my right fist out in a curved punch at her temple. Turning ninety degrees to the side, she brought her right forearm up to counter the blow, formed a fist with her left, and threw it at my outstretched jaw. I am in trouble. She kept punching my face. "I told you to come with me. Now I have no choice." I lost balance. She opened a small jar and placed i
"Inez and her team came here in search of it and now I guess they were captured by King Cain but there is another way to find out where they were. The only place she would go if she is in danger.""The Sivan's home?" Noah asked."The Sivan's home." Corner replied. "Time to ride." Noah said as the three of them hopped on their motorcycle. All the houses on the streets were abandoned and even if it's dark, Corner and his family could see through them. They were not just blood suckers for nothing. A few minutes later they pull a stop in front of the house. Chase and Denise could hear voices from outside and also the sound of motorcycles. "Stay inside." Chase whispered to Denise as he went closer to the window. He peeped through and opened the door when he saw Corner."It's Corner." He said to Denise and she sighed. Corner entered. "They've got Inez and all the demons are retreating. She will be gone when it's 12am.""Then we have to be fast... Lydia went to bring the castle bluepri
Dear diary,We were all shocked by the death of Chase Parker. A year has passed since my father's death. The vampire king. Thanks to Chase Parker, he's gone for good.My hero. A great hero of the people and his name will always be remembered. I got into "The University of California, Berkeley." and will be going this fall. I'm sad Chase didn't get to graduate with us and I never even get to spend time with him. He was the nicest kid I know after Denise. And I hope fate could bring us together once again. I wrote as I dropped the pen and closed the book. I took a deep breath before placing a rose on his grave. I could have saved him that day. I could have turned him. He could have been with me today. He could have been by my side. I stood up from the pavement and walked out of the woods. Our class set had a reunion. I showed up even though Jada hated me. We had to lie about Chase's death to the people and even to his parent. We all attended the funeral and I watched Chase burie
"No, the guy right there, running into the club." I pointed again but they didn't believe me. "Inez, there's nobody there," Ava said with a worried face. She looked at me as if I was mad."The tall guy, that looks hot? Like... he..." I started to stammer and was sure about what I saw because I'd seen him and we talked for a few."What are you talking about?" Owen asked, still seeing me as a weird person. "You guys seriously don't see him?" I asked again. Frustrated this time."No," Ava said shaking her head. Tired of what I was saying. "Could you at least stop making me feel mad?" I asked."Then stop acting that way," Ava said and rolled her eyes. Hands-on her upper hips as she continued to chew her gum. "Are you sure you are alright? Should we go back to your dorm?" Owen asked. I wasn't sure if he was just worried about me or if he doesn't want a mad person to go into the club with them but I was very sure I saw that boy and we talked and hoped I'd see him again. I took a step f
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
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
