The Tukira tree was an ancient tree, planted by an ancient priestess in the village of Surili, during the demised fall of their village.
The Ancient tree purifies the village from evil and glows up at night; symbolizing the strength of the powers and life the priestess possess.The power moved on from generation to generation till the last priestess was born.Many years later, a powerful hybrid Known as Athan recently got transfer to the Legacy college.
He possess powers unknown to human and could kill them without laying a finger on them. While Ivy, the recanated priestess of kirochi, led her life as a normal girl in the city and also a student of the legacy college.Athan POV
The school was a bit weird and a bit different from a normal school.
The pictures of the missing students of legacy, increased in the school report board each and every single day. No one could point out what was the cause of their disappearance.After school, I strolled down the hallway with my hands deep in my pocket.
Couldn't get off the thought of what the students might have undergo.my world suddenly stops, when she walks right before my eyes. My breath cut off with a gasp.
The girl I had constantly see in my dream was actually real.The world became silent except the scrunching sounds of the wind that blew across my ears.A smile lighten up and crinkled her face.I breath in her scent from afar, almost finding comfort in it.Suddenly, I had a flash vision, of a failed brake vehicle ,smacking her to death.
"Watch out!" I shouted, moving her out of the way, till she pounce on the side of the road. I stared into her eyes dump stroke by her beauty.
" you...you saved me, tha...thanks"she stuttered.Don't mention"I smiled and assisted her up her feet.A delighted grin transformed her features flinched at her tone."How did you know that bike was going to hit me? you saved me, right before it crashes" she muttered, stunned by the incident.
The hesitant smile on her face blossoming into an enticing grin as she began talking.I knew my heart couldn't occupy space for love, but the girl in my presence was giving an opposite vibe.
"My name his Ivy" she smiled and leaned her hand forward for a handshake."call me Athan" I replied and received her hand."You have such beautiful eyes.
Are those real? Cause they are constantly changing colours"she muttered coming closer to me and stared profusely at my eyeballs ,which fluttered to different colour by every gestures I make.I didn't want her to have a hint of my Identity. I couldn't risk it.
"See you some other time Ivy "I said ,ignoring her questions and walked my way to the car.
While ivy stood still, with are gaze fixed on him.
"Athan " she uttered his name and squeeze his wrist watch that fell from his wrist ,tight on her palm."We would meet again" She muttered and curved a smile on her face.Ivy POV
"Wake up sleeping head, or else we gonna be late for class!" Sera yelled and opened the window making the sunlight beam through the surface of the room."Is it morning already? just give me 5 more minutes, still very sleepy"I wailed."You were busy searching for his social media handle all through the night."Sera uttered as she raised her eyebrows.
His life is so private. Couldn't find his social media handle in every platform; Like he doesn't exist.
Oh mine! His watch"I stormed up from the bed and searched his watch in my bag.I gasped in relief after finding it.I stared at my image in the mirror and couldn't continue with the pretense I accustomed aside. finding it hard to understand the dreadful nightmare of me, running in tears. "have such invent encounter in my life? or had I lost memories of some pathetic event."I signed.
But had no Idea or hint of why the nightmare keep repeating itself.I felt like something unknown was cursing my heart to ache in pain.
and my mind is shoved to the deepest darkness path of the earth engrossed with hell."why are you crying! am ready to listen" Sera muttered, caressing my hair with her palm.
"I'm fine, I'm just having an eye allergy " I lied smoothly. And wipe off the tears on my face.
it was the same words I used, to prevent people from questioning my tears.Didn't I tell you to visit the doctor!?"she blurted in anger and flinched a frown on her face.
"It noting serious. Besides It almost 11:00, we are running late"I uttered and took a quick bath.
The school corridor was empty, the whole students were already studying in class. I couldn't think of a great excuse than to tell the professor I was sick.
I walked in to the class room with my gaze fixed on the floor.I wasn't able to face the wild stare the student gave. But was a bit courageous with Sera by my side.Athan POV
I recently got to find out that I wasn't the only guy with powers.They are few other guys in college that has similar powers as mine.I could scent it through their blood.My parents had already forbidden me in reviewing my powers and ability to anyone.So it remains a secret to me and myself. Seems the necklace was preventing them from identifying my powers. But don't understand why my parent are hiding my real supernatural identity from me.I could be a werewolve or a vampire; just don't have a clue.This school is definitely more spooky than my previous one.Students keep missing each and every passing day. Why are you both coming late?"The new professor asked and raised her eyebrows to the girls in front of her."I was really sick and still feeling dizzy"she said. Why the teacher look at them with so much pity and send them off to their seat.
I could sense the blood of a demon,coming from the professor.
"you should have stayed at home but now that you in school , you have to visit the nurse to be on the safer side."The professor muttered with a grin. Despite how many times the the girls declined the visit.
"yes ma'am" Ivy replied in a low tone.
Ivy POV
Are you crazy! what just happened?"Sera narrowed her eyes as we took our seat."I Don't wanna ruin my reputation as a late addict, in the presence of everyone in class; not with that cute guy around" I scoffed.
"you such a drama queen"Sera smiled and rolled her eyes.After the prefessor was done with the class, I felt it was the perfect time to return his watch and get to hang out with him.
There's is something special about him, Something connected to me.I glance around the classroom and couldn't sight him anywhere near."Don't forget to see the nurse. You have to send the new professor your health status file cause he demanded for it" Sera reminded.
"I would be back."I said and walk towards the heath bay.
Immediately I entered ,the door slammed close, making my heart skip in fright.It just the wind" I uttered calming the fear in me.The cold chill of the presence atmosphere send shiver to my spine.Hello! Is anyone here?I yelled and slowly walk into the patient room. But couldn't trace a soul.
" Hey!"A voice echoed from behind."you..you scared the hell out of me!
I yelled with my hand on my beating chest,and glanced at the professor in front of me."I...I could not find the nurse" I stuttered.
oh really! I also work as a nurse in the school premises" She said as she flinch a grin.
I could tell for one bit that something wasn't right about this place. I wasn't comfortable with the woman in front of me.She was acting a bit weird."So...am I gonna take a shot or something? or you gonna take my temperature? or---"My voice cut off by her snarl."Enough!.....you talk too much"she yelled and glared at me with horror.
She gave a loud laughter and wear off the human skin showing her true physical identity.
I pushed of the ground and heaved my self to my feet,limping the rest of the way to the door.
" There's no escape from the fate of death. The door is completely sealed. No human can escape "she groaned.
"who are you!? what....what do you want from me?" I stuttered crawling backward till my back hit against the wall.
"I'm sartura and all I want is your blood and your soul"she groaned.
I couldn't do anything but cry. Couldn't predict what was going to happen to me in the next few minutes." Am I gonna die by the floating creature in front of me?"I sobbed in terror as tears run down my cheeks in rivulet.
I signed in extreme fear after gazing at a moving shadow at the right wall, which suddenly pop out of the wall, turning out to be Athan.
He wasn't a human!? Was he actually a freak as this demon?"I narrowed my eyes in shock.
Satura was a fierce demon puppet controlled by demon Tika.The demons were sent by their master to feed on the students."Stay away from her!"Athan groaned with a shrilled voice."You just landed your self in hell human" the demon squealed.Athan clenched his fist and devoured the demon with a strike and turned his gaze at Ivy, who seems a bit traumatized by the whole scene."Let leave!" He said with a husky voice and held her up her feet.Ivy could feel the sound of her heartbeat through her entire body.She ran to the door but was stopped by his voice."You can't go out there looking like that. Besides they are more of them out there, and the blood of the demon is stained on your shirt. To be on the safe side, you have to take them off." He uttered.Ivy POVI chewed on my lower lips and tried to make words, but don't know what to say. so I just shut my mouth and watched as he came closer and closer.His eyes squinted at me and his hair was messy. His eyes changed back and forth bet
Athan POVKnowing demons are behind the attacks of the missing students, wasn't a surprise.I suspected similar thing.I drove my self to my parent place and demanded lot of answers from them.I opened the door and got a tight hug from my mum, she is my life and everything."You didn't tell us you were coming over. This is such a pleasant surprise."she uttered in excitement.Nice to see you again"I said,curving a smile on my face."feels good to have you back. How is your studies"my dad smiled, coming closer to my direction."I didn't come here to discuss about my studies!"I groaned."Have a seat dear, I will prepare your favorite meal"my mum uttered, changing the topic."No need to do that, I am not hungry"I blurted and sat on the couch with my leg Crossed."what wrong son? why the sudden attitude.?" my mum questioned." Enough! stop acting like you care!"I groaned and lowered my gaze to the floor."Don't dare talk to your mother in that manner, don't forget she is your mother"My fat
I closed my eyes pretty tight; Ignoring the sound. But the sound keeps getting into my head.I recalled what happened earlier, which made my fear grew stronger."Athan!"I yelled,hoping he could hear me. The fear of being alone seems more like a night mare.I don't wanna die!"I yelled.The light turned on, and my gaze turned to Athan who stood at the entrance of the door."There's a knock on my window Athan,Someone or something is stalking me"I scoffed."You mean that"he uttered, pointing at the window. To my surprise, it just an old tree branch, blown by the wind; causing it to hit the glass window repeatedly."I..I thought it__"I stuttered "A demon"he interrupted"Please don't mention that at night, I....I'm scared." I signed as sweat dripped down my chin."You can stay at my room, if you want"he smirked and walked to his room.I held him tight on his arm and followed him."After what happened yesterday, don't you find me scary?"He broke the long silent and gaze at me with fury."
Are you okay ivy?" Sera asked while coming close to me, but i fainted before she could reach me.I opened my eyes slowly and met Athan beside me. His face like the moon , pale and somehow wavering. I could get the gist of his features, but none of it stuck in my mind, beyond an impression of extreme beauty. His long hair wafted around him like black smoke, Its tendrils curling and moving of it own volition. "Where am I? What happened to me?"I asked as I narrowed my eyes."You are at my place. you passed out in school. Why did you freak out?"He asked as he Knotted his eyebrows."Am next Athan, Whoever killed Anita is after me. I...I don't wanna die."I cried out giving him a tight hug."Relax am here for you, noting would harm you ivy"He whispered and gave a tight hug."You haven't eaten, what would you like to eat?he asked in a low tone."I.....I..am not hungry Athan. I need noting else, but you by my side."I wailed.He widened his eyes by my word, and couldn't
I leaned close to him and locked my lips on his lips, which made him gasped in surprise.His dark hair was cropped and it showed off the striking symmetry of his face. I held his cheeks with my hand, caressing and smooching his soft skin.He uncapped his lips from mine and gaze into my eyes.You still haven't tell me"He groaned and gave no expression. Not until Tamika intrude our conversation. Oh! did I interrupt your conversation?" She asked, giving a nervous reaction."Yes, we were having a private conversation, you should have at least knock"I scoffed."She is my cousin, she doesn't need to knock before coming in."He uttered."I just kissed him, but got no reaction. He is more bothered about his cousin.Does he even have a heart? seems he is an emotionless kind of person."I muttered. Tamika hugged and gave him a kiss on his cheeks."I bought a presence for you Athan"she said putting on a cute smile."And what could that be?"He asked has he curved a smile. "Since you love jacke
I couldn't deny the fact I was tensed and shocked at same time. I couldn't believe hybrid like this existed. "Do you love....me? "Do I match down to your taste?"I ask without moving my gaze from his. He curved a smile and transformed to his initial form and left the room without saying a word. I had no hint of what could be going on his mind; I was so clueless.Suddenly, heavy wind blew across the room, the weather was quite fine the last time I checked. Why the wind?"I muttered, heading straight to close the window. I screamed after sighting a lady in front of me. Athan!"I screamed hard, taking a step backward."Who are you? please stay away from me?"I cried out."Stay away from her! If you have any issue face me"he groaned. "I'm priestess katana, I bring no harm"She uttered and walked towards my direction. " Then what brings you here?"Athan questioned with clenched fist."You...you really came back sis, am really glad"She said with happiness written over her face."Sis? I don't know yo
He suddenly stopped and turned to his initial form. He blushed her hair behind her ears."You were ready to give your self to me, even without knowing how i felt about you"He uttered giving a sided smile.I just needed to see your body and noting more"He smirked."Why are you doing this"She uttered as tears stream down her cheeks, using the blanket to cover her self."You just made me look like a fool, you such a jerk Athan"She scoffed and gave him a tight slap on his face."Tell me! why the fuck do you misbehave with me?"She yelled, as anger burned through her eyes."I was trying to mark you, cause I don't wanna make a mistake of losing you to someone but_"He Stuttered.Ivy gasped, highly surprise of what he just said."But what" Ivy scoffed.I can't, cause the demon in me his more desperate than I'm"He signed."But do you lo__" She suddenly stopped facing the right side of the bed."I rather be alone than having you by my side" She muttered as tears run down her cheeks."You hav
Athan POVI almost lost my mind, after finding out she didn't went back to are current apartment."Where is Ivy ?"Sera asked glaring at me coldly."You mean she ain't here?" I questioned,Running my hand through my hair, with confusion stinging the deepest part of me."She left my place earlier; so I thought of checking her here," I said calmly; trying not to burn the furious anger in me."Wait....You made her walk all by her self, did you do anything to her? did you hurt her?"she questioned.I could hear what she was thinking, and was clear she knew her whereabout.But needed to hear it from her lip to be satinly sure. But her nagging question didn't give me the opportunity to speak. I raged in anger, grabbing her by the wrist."It none of your business, just tell me where else she goes apart from here?"I groaned"She....she mi..might be at her parent place"sera stammered, staring into his magnificent eyes.He took a deep breath and loosened his hand from hers. "sorry...I hurt you,
