"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
"She is weird," Ava whispered to my ear and I agreed. I couldn't tell Ava about the witch's story because she wouldn't have believed me. I miss Denise. She would have picked on the moment you tell her things like this. She would have trusted you. "I will see you later. I have to go talk to Chase." I smiled. As I was about to walk away, Ava drew my hand back. "Who is Chase? The guy you have a crush on? Or your ex-boyfriend?" Ava asked. Wasn't sure about who I was referring to. "I meant Daniel," I said to her. She picked on me immediately. "Oh, the hot guy playing Hamlet? His girlfriend has pissed already, she will be more pissed. I love violence." She smirked as I shook my head and walked toward Daniel. Ava was ready for the drama that might take place any moment from that period. I wouldn't fight with that blonde girl in public. I could kill her if she dares to fight with me. "Wow Daniel. Your hair looks great." I complimented as I smiled at him. I wasn't sure if he knew I was 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
