2024-10-29 19:42:56I followed Chase back to my room as I shut my door behind me. We continued on with the equation, then I looked at him and our eyes met. I quickly looked back at my note, then he broke the silence. "So are you still going to go out with me tomorrow?"
I looked up and smiled at him. "I knew you didn't come here for the homework."
He smiled. He already knew he was already caught. "Oops, you got me."
"I have never been on a date before," I said as I dropped my pen.
"Then say yes. We will have a great time."
"I don't know about that. My parents won't let me, and besides, I'm different and not like you."
"Different, how?" he asked as he gave a small smile.
I jammed my lips together. "I don't do parties. My life is boring. I'm not even on social media." I said, instead. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I was a Dhampir.
"It's just a movie. I like you, Inez. I know it sounds stupid, but I do like you, and it started the first time I saw you standing in the middle of the hall, in the crowd. I know you also felt it." He said.
I wanted to touch him at that moment and tell him what I really was, but he would run away and expose my secret. He was human, after all. He wouldn't even think about the time he said he liked me. He would expose me and my family. Humans are not to be trusted. He was not to be trusted and the prophecy already confirmed that. I sighed as I shook my head. I also reminded myself that getting too close to this boy would put our lives in more danger. According to the head of council.
"I can't go. I'm sorry."
"Okay." He stood up and walked to the window. I knew he was angry. It was obvious even though he didn't say it. I could feel his heart beating. I could hear his heart beating. "It's cool; I just hope you are happy with your boring life." He said as he left through the window.
I watched him as he passed through the woods, and he went out of sight. I reminded myself that turning him down was a good thing. One part of me wanted him here with me, and the other part of me was not sure of what it wanted, but it was cool.
He is gone now. Everyone is saved. The world is safe.

"We saw on the news that Mrs. Sivan and Inez will be fine." The head of the council assured her.
"But what type of monster was that? No supernatural being can break the barrier." Arden said.
"Only witches can, and I think someone is using spells to weaken it, and I don't think that barrier can stay strong long enough." The head council said as he opened the big book and pointed at an image. "I think what Inez saw was the wendigo."
"The wendigo is described as a monster with some characteristics of a human or as a spirit who has possessed a human being and made them monstrous. Its influence is said to invoke acts of murder, insatiable greed, cannibalism, and the cultural taboo against such behaviours," Arden read aloud from the book that the head of the council showed him.
"So the wendigo is still out there and there is also a witch trying to break the barrier in order to come into the human world and take the chosen one and use her for their purpose." Mrs. Sivan said, terrified.
"Witches." The head corrected Mrs. Sivan. "But I assure you, Inez is safe here. We are here to protect her." He added.
"What are you going to do about her fangs forcing their way out whenever she sees blood or smells them?" Mr. Sivan asked. "What is going to happen to her if we keep her away from feeding on blood?"
"All I know is, if Inez gets attached to drinking blood all the time, then she will be tempted to feed on a bloodsucker and she will become one of them and even more powerful. We won't be able to tame her, but if she doesn't feed, then..."
"Then? What happens?" Mr. Sivan interrupted.
"She will die if she doesn't get fed within the next month. Her fangs will find their way out by force and it will kill her unless she can avoid blood, which is impossible, so now Inez has to feed to prevent death and try not to get attached to blood but normal food."
"Why didn't you tell us this?" Mrs. Sivan asked.
"16 is the right age to have the first feed, but we all knew that Inez couldn't survive it at that age, but now she is strong. She is a strong girl and she will find ways to save lives, so don't be scared. She will live through death and save the world from disaster." The head walked back to his seat. "We will find more information on the wendigo. You can all go home now. Inez will be fine. It's her fate to save us all." The head added.

My parents came back home before midnight, and I told them about the police that came looking for them. Mom and dad didn't tell me what the council told them, instead they walked to their room immediately after my news. I looked at Arden and gave him a quick smile."I know that look." He said as he sat down on the kitchen stool."What look?" I asked as I poured cereal into a bowl."The look you give when you want me to tell you stuff.""So, tell me, what happened there?" I asked as I sat next to him."They said I shouldn't tell you anything, but you have to feed on blood in the next month or you will die." Arden spilled."Is that what the council said? I thought you all went there for the animal information." I said."We did and the beast you saw is called the wendigo. I think they are controlling it and the head also said that witches are trying to break the barrier and the barrier isn't strong anymore. You are the only one that can save us, so you can't die." Arden replied to me."I

I walked home immediately after the incident without even attending the rest of the classes. I told my mom what happened and showed her my hand. She removed the plaster and I was already healed. 'You've started your healing process - that's a good thing.' She said.I ran to my room and took a nice hot bath, and after hours of staying indoors, I decided to go see Chase at the cinema. I wore my black leader short skirt with my ankle boots, and then wore a white long sleeve round neck top. I used my room window as an exit and went through the woods.When I finally got to the cinema, I saw cars outside and could hear some boys talking. I noticed Larry's voice and saw Chase walking in with his hand around Jada's shoulder. Are they back together? That's the first question that comes to mind. I couldn't go to him. Instead, I headed back home and climbed onto my bed to sleep.Then I heard a knock on my door. I walked to open it and, to my surprise, it was Arden. I was shocked because Arden ha

"I want to know more about Wendigo." I changed the topic."Okay." He said. He took a big book out of the drawer and handed it over to me. " This is the book of supernaturals. You are the only one that can read it since you are chosen. You will know more about what you are looking for in it.""Thank you." I said as I stood up to leave the room."Remember Miss Sivan, the remaining ten days till the month ends. You decide if you want to live or die. It's your choice."The minute I got home, my phone buzzed, and it was from Chase. He asked why he didn't see me at his game. I ignored his message and entered my room. I heard someone knock on my window. I checked and it was Chase. He was here again.I closed my window and ignored him, but he kept calling my name. My parents must not know he was there or I'll get grounded. I opened my window and let him in."I called you five times yesterday...why didn't you pick up?" He asked."I was busy." The truth is, I went to see him at the movies and s

Cutting off my mom's distant protests, I stepped out onto the front porch. And stopped.All the bad feelings of the morning rushed over me again. The anxiety, the fear. And the certainty that something terrible was about to happen.Charles Street was deserted. The tall Elizabethan houses looked strange and silent as always, as if they might all be empty inside, like the houses on an abandoned movie set. They looked as if they were empty people, but full of strange-looking things. That was it; something was watching me. The air was stifling and I could feel that someone or something was watching me.I caught sight of something dark in the branches of an old quince tree in front of the house.It was a crow, sitting as still as the yellow-tinged leaves around it. And it was something that was watching me.I tried to tell myself that this is ridiculous, but I have seen crows like this in the shadow world. It was big and sleek, with rainbows shining in its black feathers. I could see every

The boy moved on down the hallway and went out of sight. Dimly, I realized the bell was ringing. Denise was tugging on my arm."What?" I asked."I said, 'Here is your schedule. We've got classes on the second floor right now. Come on!"I allowed Denise to push me down the corridor, up a flight of stairs, and into the classroom; I slid into an empty seat automatically and fixed my eyes on the teacher at the front without really seeing me.He walked right by. Without a glance, they all looked, at least. Some whistled. Some stopped to talk. Some just stared.Ms. Ryan passed out trigonometry books. I took mine and wrote my name inside, still wrapped in thought."He is looking at you," Denise whispered."Who?" I asked. I was still focusing on the board."Chase." Denise said.The shock that came to me at that moment was a big one. Oh, Chase, Chase Parker. The guy I like but I can't be with or the world will destroy. Last week, Chase was mad at me, and now I don't know if he still is."Is he

The first light of dawn was flashing in the night sky.Corner watched it from the window of his room."How was your first day at school?" A voice said as Corner turned to look at his brother Noah."It was lousy, I mean, those humans were lousy.""What have you been up to, by the way?" He asked."Trying to find the location of our princess."He swallowed and looks at Corner. "You are not telling me everything.""What do you mean?""We are the Scilas brothers. We don't keep things from each other, now spill it!""Noah." Corner began tightly, "I found the princess."Noah stood surprised. "Great, let's take her in and offer her to the king."Corner swallowed hard. "She is more powerful than you think Noah..."Noah did not even blinked. "You've fallen for her," he said instead."No, what I'm saying is that she is powerful and we can't defeat her...the blood of King Cain runs through her even though she doesn't know that...she is the chosen one and also the most powerful Dhampir.

Dear Diary, The wendigo is gone, finally, and mom talked to the council about it. They were so proud of me. I have four days left...it's not getting any easier, with the sudden craving for blood, the sleepless nights, and not being able to focus on anything. I got a text from Chase last night after the fight. He wants to hang out. Mom and the council mustn't find out, but I know he is a good guy. And I want to give him a chance. The bell rang for the first period. I didn't get much sleep last night due to the sudden craving for blood. I saw Denise now. She was with Corner. What was she doing with him? "Inez!" she called as I ran to meet her. "Geez, you look drained. Do you want to go see the school nurse?" "No, I'm fine." I dragged her away from Corner's side. "What are you doing with him?" I whispered, trying not to let Corner hear us. "Nothing...he just wants to borrow my note...and yes, we are late for the first period." She said and I looked behind her shoulder, but Corner wa

We finally took a seat next to the window when the waiter placed the menu in front of us. "You come here often?" I asked. "Yeah, I love coming here when I feel lonely and sad or if I want some alone time." He said as he drank from the cup of water he had ordered earlier. "So, what about you?" "What?" I asked, clueless. "Where do you go when you feel lonely? What cheers you up?" I looked around pointedly, as if my answer was obvious. "I don’t have one. I just go with the flow." I smiled warmly. "That’s weird but cool." He gave a light smile. "You think?" He laughed at me and tilted his head. "Actually, no, but... I guess you can come here anytime. This place has a great view, and especially at night, it’s more beautiful and colorful." "Really?" I asked as I stared out the window. "Yes." Chase said as he got to his feet. "Inez, I will be back in a minute." As Chase left, I looked down at my menu and read through the endless possibilities of fish and other assorted seafood. I w

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.

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.

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...

"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
