The Dawn Falls Chapter 26
CHAPTER 26Entering someone’s property is prohibited. Basic ethics and morals, as what teachers or priests taught us. Chaz will give me answers. So I headed alone to his place without informing Gelo. Then I heard him screaming for help. In pain. In danger. I forcefully opened the door and thought Kaz was about to kill him. It turned out, that I’m the one on the wrong side. I illegally entered, and stopped them from what they were doing earlier“What are you doing here, Cath?” This time, Chaz’s voice turned mad or serious. His brows crossed while Kaz remained calm and bland. Based on how they’re reacting right now, they weren’t planning to kill each other earlier.I trailed with my first words. “I visited you to ask something you might have an answer for. Aside from Nana’s family, you’re the only one I can trust. Before I even call your name, I heard you screaming for help. I saw Kaz, half-naked, though he’s going to kill you. And then…” I gasped for breath. I don’t know what to say an
The Dawn Falls Chapter 27
CHAPTER 27“You knew her personally?” A lesson I learned in this town was that asking a few people would uncover truths in a mystery. Chaz only told me a few details yet they helped me to get to know Mila well.Chaz bobbed his head. “We’ve been friends. I’m not sure why they call her crazy. She lost her parents, but she’s not the type who will grieve like that. She’s tough. A contender for a fearless woman. We lost in translation when my parents died. She stopped training and I stopped seeing others.”I was about to speak when he continued.“The two of us…” His adam’s apple moved. “Were really great friends while training. A human and a werewolf, but there’s no discrimination in between. She’s the first, the only one who kept my secret that I like guys. We realized we’re not that different from one another. Then my parents were killed. Why are you asking me again, Catherine?”“She talked to me. She told me I was the key to justice for her parents. She knew what happened to me, that my
The Dawn Falls Chapter 28
Chapter 28Mila did not lie in telling me that the two of us are the same. We have the same goals. Justice and the truth. For now, she’s my other half—my partner. She needed me, to the same degree how I needed her. We both decided that I will only visit her when I have an update or at least once a month. We don’t have a time frame for our plan. It’s better to conduct it safely and carefully.By Saturday, we had another physical training. I felt stronger than before though my muscles were gushing with pain and soreness. They were roaring, wanting to escape from the pain. I never had physical training or even work out intensely before. My body wasn’t used to that. I already told Chaz about it but he wasn’t listening. Everyone, even the newbie, got hard on themselves earlier.I realize I might grow abs with our training. When I was in middle school, it had always been my wish to have abs. High school women that are passing by our house were sexy and have abs. I’ve been promising myself s
The Dawn Falls Chapter 29
Chapter 29Angelo liking me was the most hilarious thing I heard in the past few weeks. It’s not that Angelo is ugly—he was damn attractive, kind, a literal boy-next-door type since he’s my neighbor. I admit that he’s likable. But what am I? I’m just a half-blood and he’s a pure werewolf. A type who wasn’t interesting at all.I never had the chance to ask him what are his reasons for why he liked me. I wish it was a joke, but he looked so serious about it. If I let myself attach to the thought, I wouldn’t be able to focus. My goal was to find the ones who killed my parents and help Mila, who’s still on the verge of thinking that the alpha was the one who killed hers. I wasn’t here to break my virginity and have a relationship.Chaz let us grab a set of bow and arrows. I never knew I would be practicing archery. If I would be part of a school’s sports team, I’ll join cross country and not freaking archery. This time, we had to learn it as a weapon. I don’t know what’s the point with th
The Dawn Falls Chapter 30
CHAPTER 30“Gwen, can I take a look at your essay on history? I badly need inspiration,” Aki said. We’re inside the library, one of the safest places if we wanted silence and peace while studying and making our assignments. We had to make an essay about the cold war and it’s due in our class later. I don’t know why Aki did not make his assignment at home.“What if I don’t want to? You’ve been playing video games most of the time when you’re at home, and now you’re telling me you don’t have an essay that’s due a few hours from now?”“Gwen, I’m sorry. It’s just I don’t have the motivation to study? Who does?” They both glanced at me. The person who finished her assignments earlier than the due, who always perfect her quizzes and tests, and was complimented by the teacher most of the time. “Of course, it’s Catherine. Now I wonder if humans are more capable of learning than werewolves.”“I just like it. I love learning,” I said. And I also love to pass UCLA or Yale to leave this freaking
The Dawn Falls Chapter 31
CHAPTER 31I knew I can’t ignore Gelo all throughout my life. He was my best friend in this town. Should I say we’re best friends though we just met a few months ago? But that’s what I feel! It doesn’t matter if he likes me. We can stay what we are after what happened.Gelo must be at home. He wasn’t the type of guy who will play basketball outside or in the nearby town. And of course, he wasn’t the same guy who will party all night and sleep inside his friend’s place. He’s a guy who is disciplined enough to go home on his own, without Nana reminding him.I was in my uniform when I left the house. Felix and Jay reminded me for the hundredth time that I should be at home before the evening arrives as if I’m a kid who wouldn’t listen to them. Maybe I am. Just a little bit.Gelo almost stumbled when he opened the door for me. He wasn’t expecting me to knock on their door, right?He’s wearing the men’s uniform of our school. He’s ready to go except for his hair which looked like tangled w
The Dawn Falls Chapter 32
CHAPTER 32The first thing we did in school was to solve a difficult Math problem about interest and discounts. I don’t hate Math. But I also don’t prioritize it.In university, my major would be either communications or literature. I love reading and studying books and maybe I could articles. Certainly, I will not take a degree that has a Mathematics major subject. That’s not what I want.Since our teacher wasn’t present inside the classroom, most of my classmates copies answers from one another. Kajik, one my classmates, even threaten others to give him answers. He was not a beta yet he dares to bully others.I saw Aki asking Gwen questions. They were friends for a very long time and I understand why Gwen was giving him answers. I don’t refrain from cheating and copying answers when it comes to my activities. That wouldn’t satisfy me and I label it as wrong.Gwen, Aki, and I finished at the same time so we left the room. Some of our classmates were begging for answers but our teache
The Dawn Falls Chapter 33
CHAPTER 33“Back off,” Mila told me. We paced backward, avoiding the werewolves coming for us. She held her machete and her eyes stared strong at the wolves. We’re being outnumbered. I don’t have the strength to fight any of them. I should’ve not gotten myself in this place at this time.The wolves started to growl, hungry for taste, and passionate for blood. I almost scratched my arms. My body trembled into fear. What can we do now? Mila’s a human; she doesn’t have the strength of a werewolf. I’m a half-blood who was not ready to turn into a wolf.I’m gonna die!“Catherine!” Mila screamed and tried to attack two of the wolves. We split. She’s on the right side of her house, in the kitchen, while I was in the living room with two other wolves trying to make me prey.Mila has a weapon. I don’t have any. I crawled backward as my eyes traveled back and forth to the wolves and to the things inside Mila’s house. She should’ve not left me alone. How can I fight these two alone?Werewolves g
