“I can go home from here,” Tiffany stopped walking, turn to face Aiden then removed her hand reluctantly from Aiden’s.“Oh,” he clasped his hands together timidly.“You live around here?” he asked, looking around.“Mind your business. Thanks for escorting me, I’ll get going.”“Okay, have a good night, okay?” Aiden smiled at her.“Huh, and you too,” she nodded her head and then turned to leave.“Anny!” Aiden shouted and she stopped walking abruptly.“It’s late, do you have to call my name that loud?” Tiffany furrowed her brow.“Uhm… I’m sorry. C…can I have your contact, please?” he requested nervously.“No.”“Please. I promise you that I won’t disturb you with calls…please.”Even though it was dark, Tiffany could see the puppy expression the guy had worn.“If you dare disturb me with calls, I’ll bock your number,” Tiffany frowned, stretched her hand forward while Aiden hurriedly dipped his hand in his pocket, removed his phone, unlocked it, and dropped it on her palm.He smiled stylish
"Tiffany?" the lion spirit whispered, walking slowly towards her."What?" Tiffany answered and the lion spirit halted then turned to look at the mountain guardian who was still in shock."H... How is this..."The lion guardian shook her head, unable to tear her eyes off Tiffany.The lady had returned to her normal self, the red eyes that shone earlier had returned to their normal color and her voice had returned to being cold and deep as usual."Did you remember anything that just happened?" the lion spirit queried."What are you saying? You were telling me not to fall for Aiden and I said you should mind your business," Tiffany frowned her face."After that?""After that... You called my name and asked if I remember anything that just happened," Tiffany rolled her eyes."But...""Did anything happen?" she glanced at the two of them."No, never mind," the lion spirit shook his head."By the way... This ring... Am I the only one that can see it? Knowing the kind of person Zoey is, she
As they both settled on the floor, Tiffany didn't stop smiling at what she was seeing.She loved it, and there was no doubt about it."Ta-da!" Aiden exclaimed as he removed two cans of sprite from his bag and raised it in the air which made the lady chuckle."Do you know the beauty of this place?" He dropped one beside him and opened the other one which gas out loud."Mh-mm," she shook her head."Drinking," he answered and make a sound with his tongue."Drinking and watching the view. Trust me, there's no better feeling than that," Aiden added and pointed the sprite at her which she collected with a smile on her face."You think so?" Tiffany raised a brow."Coming from someone who knows better," Aiden winked at her and drank from the sprite slowly."Why did you bring me here? Do I look so pitiful?" Tiffany asked with a quick smile."Hmm, I think so," he tilted his head and they both laughed."I wasn't really planning on bringing you here, but when I got to your workplace, your boss sa
"It is just a matter of time, Tiffany," Akilang growled."Stop meddling in my business, Akilang. St... Huh!" Tiffany groaned in pain."Much easier to say. Hehehe, Tiffany, I am bounded by you. It's you and I forever, I hope you know that," Akilang sneered."You... You... " Tiffany stammered, the pain eating her deeply."I'll be back for you. Just have fun while you can."Tiffany inhaled deeply as the pain left her as soon as Akilang finished its statement.She held her bag tightly, wiped the sweat that had gathered on her face with her palm, and resumed walking.'Let's not think about anything now...' she said to herself as she walked further.She had always known her life was a mystery, but now with Akilang's existence, her life wasn't even hers.Her life was not hers because Akilang was inside of her, breathing the same air as her.Her life belonged to the wicked demon inside of her.Wait, if there's a demon inside her, then... She's a demon also.Huh, what a cruel fate she's got.~
Monday morning"Great students of Western high school!" The dean hailed."Great!" The students in the hall screamed."As you all might have known, our long awaiting day is approaching. The school trip. Am I the only one excited?!""No!" the students screamed."As we have always been doing. We'll upload three ideal places we could visit so y'all should vote for the one you have in mind. Note that the highest count wins. Y'all ready for this?!""Yay!!!" they all chorused in unison."So while we're here, let's give a round of applause to the principal as he reminds us the do and don't of the school," the dean smiled as she watched the students clap."Good morning, great students of Western high school," he greeted as soon as he held the microphone."Good morning!" "As we all know, Western high school..." he began. ~"What was the dean saying about the school trip or whatever?" Tiffany asked Zoey as they walked to the classroom."You see, the school trip is an event everyone in the scho
A few days later~ Thursday."Hey," Declan rushed after Tiffany."Wait up, you two!" He yelled and stopped walking which made Tiffany and Zoey stop walking."I've been calling you guys since," he inhaled and moved closer to them."It's not like you called our names, you've been screaming 'hey' like a fool. Do you expect us to answer that?" Tiffany frowned her face."Must you always show that you are good with words?" Declan frowned."Well..." Tiffany shrugged her shoulder off."Zoey, I need to talk to you," Declan said, boring his eyes into the lady."Why?" Zoey raised a brow."I gotta discuss something with you. Please.""Oh, someone said please, I guess he's quite desperate," Tiffany said sarcastically and looked away."Don't you dare interfere in what I'm saying," Declan groaned through gritted teeth."Oh, maybe you do not know, if I don't want her to go to you, she won't. You better don't get me pissed off right now. It's not like I sent you to announce my cute bestie as your girlf
"Kîll that child!" Harengon yelled, making the lion spirit who was interrupted flinch."Harengon, we can't kîll Tiffany, never. I would rather take the blame for leaving the mountain that day. We can...""Who cares about that?! That girl will cause a mess when Akilang wakes up," Lukas, the fire guardian interrupted."The lion spirit and I will always stay close to her, we will stop her from causing problems," the mountain guardian vowed."Chephirah?" Harengon turned to look at the lion spirit whose look on her face shows that she couldn't settle with her decision to kîll the little lady."We can't kill that girl. She's just exposed to another side of life. She became happy after her seventeen years of existence. I believe she will do a better job even when the demon gets unleashed, I believe in her," Chephirah hit her chest in assurance."Chephirah, Benroy... I will strip you both of your position and send you on an exile to the end of the world if that girl should take a life, take m
After almost an hour had passed, when Aiden had gone and returned and returned from the cafeteria to get them snacks and drinks while waiting for Declan, the latter strolled inside the class slowly, stylishly running his hand through his hair."Dumbàss, I told you to come here as soon as you can!" Zoey sprung up."Oh, that. I have a duty to perform," Declan tilted his head sarcastically."Oh, really?""So, why do I come here? As you might have known, I can't be here in the same space with Aiden," Declan said and glanced at Aiden who was peacefully sipping his drinks, not sparing him a glance."Huh, who wants to be in the same space as you?" Aiden rolled his eyes."I'll agree to be your FAKE girlfriend, but, only on one condition," Zoey tightened her arms across her chest."Which is?" Declan raised a brow, moved towards the table beside him, and sat on it."We want to create a singing group, we need you to be a member to be able to create a group," Zoey answered."What the fûck? You wa
