The Dawn Falls Chapter 18
CHAPTER 18"Have you been punished?" he asked. He was bugging me all day yesterday and until this Sunday about what happened to me when I stayed inside the studio. Nothing happened. After my sentimental talk with Chaz, he told me to relax. He advised me to take physical practice more seriously. Mental ability alone wasn’t enough to face threats in the future.I told you so. I don’t. Chaz gave me a special task. " I don’t want to be emotional about telling him what we talked about. He was my friend—the closest one. Telling him about my conversation with Chaz wasn't in my confidence. There are things we should keep to ourselves and not tell others.We had entered my room. We’re not flirting, kissing, or having sex. I don’t know why people always think of that thing when there’s a boy and a girl in a room together. Life isn’t always about sensuality. We live because of other things. Though there’s a debate that sex is as important as food and clothing.Angelo has my brothers’ permission
The Dawn Falls Chapter 19
Chapter 19Frozen pictures don’t stay frozen all the time. Perfect moments aren’t that perfect after a few seconds or so. My perfect gaze with Angelo didn’t last more than thirty seconds when Jay walked through the hallway beside my room.He staggered forward and slammed the door shut. Gelo and I quivered from our position, embarrassed that my brother saw us. I had to explain what we were doing at that exact moment. He had to believe that it was an accident."What the fuck were you doing earlier?" Jay asked. He wasn’t mad, but his crimson face was solemn. He didn’t like what he had seen earlier."Nothing. We tripped over each other, "I answered quickly." Jay won’t hurt Gelo physically, but if Felix finds out about what happened, I don’t know if Gelo could step inside our house again."She’s right." Gelo glanced at me. I liked how he helped me with explaining it to my brother.Why was I so nervous about what might happen? Our explanation wasn’t a lie. We did trip over each other. It wa
The Dawn Falls Chapter 20
CHAPTER 20Outside, the fog was a ghost rummaging around. It could be seen through the house's square window. I'm guessing it's tinted from the front, and no one on the outside will be able to see through it.At least half of the food on my plate was gone. Nana prepared a large amount of food that we all enjoyed. When Gelo's father speaks to us, he has a pleasant demeanor. He was talking to my brother and kept asking him questions about their upbringing. He saw them when they were three and four years old. He described them as rambunctious children. That's what our parents told us when we were kids about Felix and Jay bickering over trivial matters.Chewing, Mr. Tyrant’s face turned me. I don’t want to be asked. There are questions about my life I wasn’t certain about.“What are your hobbies, Cath?” he asked. That was easy.“I read books. Also listened to audiobooks.”“Books are her life, Mr. Tyrant,” Jay added. “She planned to build a library in the future.” Jay and Felix laughed abo
The Dawn Falls Chapter 21
CHAPTER 21Sunday would be my new favorite day of the week. The three of us are complete at home. Though we spent dinner or breakfast on weekdays and Saturdays, having the whole day to spend with my brothers on Sundays is the best.While Jay was washing all of our clothes, I helped Felix on preparing lunch. We started making the lunch earlier than the usual time we’re preparing it since it will take more than two hours before it cooks. Felix decided to make it a special one—Spicy Western-Style Spareribs.“Check the ingredients, Catherine, if they’re all complete,” he told me.That was my job earlier to check if have the complete set of ingredients. Pork, of course, we have it. Paprika, salt, garlic powder, sugar, pepper, and butter. Did we forget something? The lemon and chili! They’re the most important ingredient for this meal.“We forgot lemon and chili. Do we have it right now?” I asked Felix and tried to check the ingredients presented on the table again. Maybe I missed it or did
The Dawn Falls Chapter 22
CHAPTER 22The last person I wanted to see in places like this was going to be any Beta or their children. And now, it’s Marvel. The guy who almost broke the cubicle on the campus because he sniffed me.He had a killing stare, dangerous enough to blow me away. His arms were similar to any wild animal in the forest. I doubt he’ll kill me in a public place like this, but of course, he can do that. He was lion-faced, not because he has a lot of facial hair—because he does not. His nose wasn’t pounded and his eyes were like scars. I never thought of encountering Beta children in this palace.I tried not to mind him and walked away towards the chili powder when he grabbed the back of my shirt. I stopped moving and faced him.“Do we have a problem?” This guy has anger issues. I had to keep myself calm while talking to him if I still want my life. He should’ve ignored me yet he pulled me towards me.“Why does the half-blood princess roam around the town as if she owns this place?” He smirked
The Dawn Falls Chapter 23
CHAPTER 23“Whoever told you that I lost my mind doesn’t know anything about me,” she said. She sounded sincere and genuine, but the person who told me she was crazy was the only teenager by I trusted in this town.I trusted Gelo more than her. I also believed that Gelo could lie to me for the better. Or he may even don’t know the truth about Mila. Or what he said was the absolute truth and Mila’s turning crazy to make me think that the things she was saying were real.“How can I know if you’re telling the truth or just fooling me?” I took a step back. She could grab me instantly or put a knife in my belly. I don’t want to be kidnapped again. That night when the teachers kidnapped me was one of my haunting moments.She let out a sigh and touched my wrist. “Come with me inside. I can’t tell you everything here.” She was about to pull me inside when I stayed at my place. I won’t go with a stranger like her.“I don’t trust you. I won’t go with you.”Her lifeless eyes blinked. She was pal
The Dawn Falls Chapter 24
CHAPTER 24I left Mila shortly after the confusion. She told me, “This isn’t the end for the two of us.” Which crept me out because she’s still a stranger to me. What if she was imagining things that didn’t happen. That the Alpha of the pack in this town wasn’t the one who killed her parents. I don’t know what to believe anymore because that woman was going to mess up my mental health if I thought of her more.What if it was true? That she’s just pretending to be crazy to save her life. That she’s somehow connected to the Alpha because he’s the one who killed her family. I somehow relate to her. If we join forces, we’ll be able to find out who killed my parents as well.She’d been living her life in this town for at least thirty-five years, based on how I see her age though she looked like she’s in her late forties because of her whisky hair. But my brothers wouldn’t let me cooperate with a person I didn’t know. As far as I’m concerned, humans, especially crazy ones, made up most of t
The Dawn Falls Chapter 25
CHAPTER 25“You talked to her?” Gelo asked, not furious and not calm. He was shocked by what I said. Even my old self couldn’t believe what I did. I talked to the woman they pertain to as ‘crazy’ or ‘someone who lost her mind’.I crunched my waist, left and right. “She wasn’t crazy at all. She’s completely fine,” I insisted. The information Gelo has for this town was incomparable to what I know, but there’s a chance I could be the right one. If Mila has sufficient information that might help me, I could connect those to the death of Mom and Dad. The truth will prevail. A gift I wanted before I avoid myself in this town and attend university. “She didn’t harm me. I don’t see any possible harm from her. I think she wanted to make a deal with me.”“Why don’t you just listen to me, Cath? Mila’s crazy. She lost her mind. Everybody knew that.”“What if you’re wrong? She might be the missing piece in the death of my parents. She’s also lost her parents. According to her, the Alpha killed her
