Chapter: Epilogue The end of the third year of school had finally come to a close, summing up yet another crazy twelve months, however, not all was quite done yet; as there were still some unresolved scenarios like whatever happened onwards between Marcus and Bianca ever since her birthday or whether Lucas finally told Nat how he felt about her. Well, there was still another school year left and maybe it would be enough to mend some probably broken hearts with the likes of Jasmine after her unrequited love for the quarterback... This extended even over to Carter•Labs, with the two scientists doing their best to be 'professional' and maybe it would stay that way. * The fall of 2029 fo

"You know I'll still be around for like the whole of Summer, so...we can do anything during that time." "I can think of something..." Carmen responded softly before going on to lock lips with him.

Chapter: CreditsDear Reader,I really hope you enjoyed this 42-chapter story that spun for over three months on Goodnovel and sadly but gloriously it has come to an end. An end that I believe I delivered quite well, having penned the final words of this story. The idea to develop it actually began way back in 2017 when I was still in high school and I'm finally glad to have been able to craft it much to everybody's liking. I really do hope it coined a spot in your libraries and with all that said, don't forget to drop a comment, a vote and also share this story to your fellow readers.Thank you.All characters, products & locations depicted in this literal set are fictitious and derivative of the writer's imagination.

She was about to go inside when—"Diana, over here, " she spun around to spot Nick seated on one of the tables set outside the restaurant. There was a couple talking and laughing in one; a mother wiping away a drop of ketchup that had dripped on her son's shirt and then there was Nick."Hi," Diana said, taking a seat and facing Nick."Hey," his dark hair was short, matching his dark eyes as he beamed at her."Actually, there's something I wanted to tell you," Diana bit her lower lip that was as red as her hair.Nick rested his hands on the table, ushering her to go on.

Elektris erupted in a burst of sizzling white light that was accompanied with flashes of lightning of the same color. The flashes struck out dangerously in all directions and Jenna alongside the others had to fall back—all except for two—Viper and Hermes. They charged towards her, both of them throwing great bolts of lightning at her which blended in a radiant blue-green. The bolt struck Elektris but she hardly finched, knocking away the bolt of lightning as if it had been a stick thrown at her. Her body still aglow with the white lightning, she began to spin, discharging the lightning flashes so that they darted out like electrified projectiles. Viper and Hermes ducked and dodged, performing all kinds of evasive maneuvers to avoid getting hit. Elektris then stopped, the lightn

He had just witnessed the supposed death of Viper and Lucas, having seen how Elektris had used Reign on them, destroying them to nothing. He rammed hard into Elektris, sending both of them flailing high up into the night air. His hair billowed against the wind and was no longer crowned with his petasos which had fallen off his head back at the park. Hermes was blinded with fury, delivering blow after blow that sent the goddess even higher into the air until Atlanta was no longer in sight. Elektris reeled backwards with every blow, most of which connected with her jaws and flashes of blue lightning would ripple out with every attack. One would

House yards were filled with spooky figures like white cloths to represent ghosts and the jack-o'-lanterns of course.Jake had stashed the book inside a compartment in his room, hoping the degenerate creatures of the dark would not find it. Certainly, there had to be a way to destroy all of them with the book and not just lifting it up in front of them when they showed up.Standing before the compartment, Jake stared at it for a while before deciding to open it.He took out the book and observed the upside-down pentacle again. There were small weird markings around the circle this time. It was like the book was evolving. He flipped open the cover and his eyes set on the markings all over the first two pages. What kind of language was that?He had even done some research the previous nigh

She was in a ‘Pocahontas’ costume, a black weather with a white tip sticking out at the back of her hair which kind of confused him. Why was she dressed like that? She approached him slowly and he could feel her warm breath causing his face to flush but he felt different this time. He felt confident. She touched his hand, making him to look down and could see the shadow cast on the ground where there was a picture of a lion’s head—Barnstable High School logo. He savoured the moment, raising his head to look into her eyes which sparkled under the moonlight. He noticed the small white reflection of the moon in her eyes begin to loose its color and darken. The moon began to turn red and the warm feeling in him waned and was replaced by fear and terror. The ground beneath him was shaking, shaking slowly then
