"I don't think he will listen. I guess he will make sure to kill me and get the throne before he stops all this." "Are you sure you won't participate in the battle?" Beauty asked watching me trying to focus. "I will participate but not with Theo. They are trying to protect me but no matter how they try to fight the Kanima off, it will come to find me because I am the one if wanted. I don't think Theo and the hinter's community understand that. I can't watch people die because of me. I have to fight." I stood up and began to spin again. Trying to get my balance as I fought. "I can't wait for this to end." When I was done with training, the three of us sat down and watched the sky. "There aren't any stars in the sky today either," I said. I looked at Beauty. "You did well today. I am sorry if you had to deal with this. I was also like this too. When I found out my father wanted me dead and he was the vampire king. Until today I denied that he isn't my father but the truth wi
"What do you mean?" I asked, watching the liquid in my hand shine. I looked back at Cleo. "You have to tame him so he won't show up at the fight.""And how do I do that?" I narrowed my eyes. "I have noticed he likes you.""And..." "You will have to kill him so you can achieve your goals. He won't know what you are up to." I wanted to talk and said I can not kill Theo. That would be me cheating on Chase but she held her hands up to shut me up. "You are not cheating. You will have to drug him while you kiss him. That way, he will be out of the way." I nodded slowly. That was indeed a good plan. "But what about the community and Riley and Ethan?" I asked. "If you get rid of Theo, the remaining two will follow, and don't worry about the community, we would have to take care of the warlock before they get there." "You are so smart. I could kiss you but I like boys." I teased. "Thank you for supporting me," I said and went to hug her. "Please keep that position safe. That is the o
I waved at Chase when I saw him outside the classroom. We haven't talked much, ever since we got back together but I have been feeling sick too. I just didn't want to let the sickness get to me. This morning, I vomited before coming to school. Beauty wasn't aware. I have never felt this way before except for the time when I was trying to learn how to control my fangs and powers. This time, I wasn't going to treat whatever was wrong with me. I was going to prepare for the war first then my body later. "Hey, babe." Chase placed a kiss on my cheeks. "You want to join me for a ride later?" he asked and I nodded. "Just like that? No excuses or girls thing?" "There is a girls thing tonight but I felt like I haven't been spending much time with you." I took his hands in mine. "Let's go for that ride but we have to be back before seven. Okay?" He sighed. "It would have been nicer if the sun appeared at least once. I would have loved to have a personal picture with you." "You know the rule
I looked at Chase and held onto him. Maybe this is the right time to tell him about his parent. He needed to know his parent were found. "I have something to say and you have to listen to me. Okay?" "What Is it?" I swallowed first. Didn't know how to bring the word out of my mouth. "I found your parent," I said after a few. He had that expression on his face. The ones that don't know how to react to things. "Don't worry they are safe." He scoffed. "When can I see them?" he asked."Well, that I the problem. You can't.""Why not?" he asked."Well. not yet. Until I talk to them first. Your mom knows me and you just can't show up as a dead son. She thought you died remember? She might faint... I mean, would faint if you just appeared all of a sudden. Let me handle this Chase and let me tell her everything." He nodded. "You are right. You should do that. I just hope all this will pass." "It will pass. That I know of." I gave him a warm smile. "I think we should start going." "Why?"
"All right. Let's do this guys." I said. Three of us placed our hands on one another and counted down from three to one before looking closely again. "She is about to leave." Beauty said. Olivia placed the hoodie back on and began to work towards the woods. I guess they already know the next which to do a ritual on. "Not on my watch this time." I packed my hair and stood up. We tiptoed and followed Olivia into the woods. I guess she noticed someone was following her and every time she turns to look, we find a place to take cover so she wouldn't see us. She continued to walk. She fastened her pace and we did too until suddenly, we lost track of her. She was out of sight. "This is what happens when we try to follow a witch around." I sighed. "Now she is gone. Just like that." "We will find her," Cleo said a word I didn't quite understand but Beauty understood. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." she came out of hiding and smirked. "If you use magic here, the warlock will notice
"Get her on her knees please," Cleo said and Beauty did as she asked. Olivia didn't move an inch. "Do you need anything?" I asked. Cleo shook her head and told me to turn the light off and put the cotton down. I did as she instructed. She asked Beauty for her hand. Getting into Olivia's head wouldn't be that easy because she might have used magic to protect that information. "Are you ready?" Cleo asked. I sat on the bed and watched them start their chant. The room was suddenly lightened with colorful lights. More of a sliver mixed with blue. "I am ready." sparks began to fly through the room. If a nonpowerful person was in sight, they could have been fried with enough powers that were flowing across the room. I was glad Ava wasn't around. I don't know what would have happened to her if she decided to stay. She was a stubborn child after all. Funny but stubborn. They continued with their spells and Olivia kept kicking them out of her head. Severally. But both of them didn't give u
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
"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.
