Tessa flickers her eyes open and finds me sitting on the tool beside her bed. She sits up and frantically looks around,her eyes wide open to take in the surroundings. "How are you feeling?" I ask her, praying to the MoonGod again and again for saving my best friend's life. I don't know what would have happened if she wasn't alive. I don't know what I would have done.
"What happened?" She asks, her hazel eyes confused.
I sigh. "You passed out in the maze, under the influence of the fog and didn't wake up for a long time."
"No! I remember seeing something. There was a shadow in the fog that scared me and then I passed out. Though it was definitely foggy. It was the fog before that made me unconscious. But then I woke up again and saw something being around the fog. It was hard to trace but then I saw it sucking blood. I was so scared that I—I" she holds her head. "I guess I passed out
We all take our places in the assembly hall with Tessa sitting beside me, Tristian sitting on the front row and Peter accompanying him. Alex is nowhere near, sprouting my doubts on his strange behaviour. What is wrong with him? After the fight, he didn't care to even meet me or talk to me."Tessa? Did you talk to Alex?""Yeah. We spoke this morning before the assembly. Why?" She frowns, completely unaware of the situation. Or maybe she is aware but she is not going to give in."No, nothing. I didn't get to talk to him or ask him about his condition. You know after what happens. Is he alright?" I ask, trying my best to keep my normal face up. If I somehow learn that Tessa is mixed with Alex in this, I don't know what my mental condition would be. There is that certain feeling inside that tells me that my friends are sliding away from me."Yeah. He looked fine. Tho
I can hear my own steps in the empty corridor as I walk towards the door where a group of men stand guard. They look straight ahead, but I can tell that they can sense me coming. I stop in front of them. Not because the door is closed, but because I realise who these guards actually are. "You are not allowed to go in, Miss."I sigh. I want to meet Tristian so badly. Maybe just see his face and make sure that he is doing alright. But why does this happen that whenever I am so desperate to meet him, things start going against me? There used to be a time when I didn't want him to be around me at all and at those times, he used to linger around me like a shadow. I press my lips in a grim line. "Is the Alpha inside?" I ask in the most indirect way possible because I just can't ask if Tristian is inside. Even though I call him naturally by his name when every other person calls him the Alpha, I can't do that here. Not in front of these people. It w
I stand shocked for a second, thinking about the thousands of reasons for which Professor Sheila summoned me in her office. One of them could be her asking me about my condition after the unfortunate incident. Afterall I was the sole witness to it. To Sasha's death."Okay. Thank you." I say and the lady gives a nod and walks away. Phew! I sigh and walk out of the library. At least someone remembers me. Otherwise, it appears all of my friends have just forgotten that I exist. It's stupid for me to put the blame on Tristian and have such thoughts of insecurity when all it is just me not meeting him for a few hours. Still, I can't shake the fear of losing him. It scares me to the extent that my hands go cold. Why am I so worried? I never gave a fuck about boys, except Alex ofcourse. I used to hate them. But here I am, worried about losing a guy I just couldn't meet for a few hours. How pathetic, Aurora! I shake my head at my own predicament and
It is so confusing to find that Professor Sheila's attitude changes so randomly. More than that, it's even more confusing that she handed me a chit of paper inmy palm like some secret mission. Weird. I open it while sitting in my room and find"There is a secret library behind the main Library. Find it."Huh? Secret library? I put the chit of paper in one of my notebooks, so that no one can see it, including Tessa. I want to get this thing done privately. And when she mentions the library I have the feeling that Branson knows about it very well and is related to it. But the question is whether he will allow me to enter it. The answer is probably not. But I need to test the Professor's theory. If I'm lucky enough, maybe I'll get to the entrance and will be able to find out about what shit is going on in this Academy.A few minutes later, I found myself standing in front of the library door.
"Cinn? Cinn? Salty sugars! I think she is waking up!" I hear a familiar voice calling someone from the darkness. Where have I heard this voice? Where?I flutter my eyes open to get hit by a ray of light stinging my eyes. So I shut them again. "Close the curtains." A masculine voice orders someone and when I open my eyes again, that stinging ray of light is gone. Everything looks kind of dark and blurry like my thoughts. Nothing feels or seems like it is in place. Above that my head throbs so I hold it to reduce the pain."Ugh...where am I?" I ask, my voice surprisingly hoarse and my throat hurting like ten needles piercing back there. Four black figures come into my sight, standing in front of me. I can't tell what they are. I narrow my eyes to get a clearer look. The vision slowly fades away and I find a pair if baby blue eyes staring at me with concern."How are you feeling?" The owner o
"How are you feeling?" Branson straightens his specs and looks at me but then lowers his eyes on the floor. Something tells me he is not comfortable looking at me. He is usually a very shy person,that I get but not to the point that he can't even make eye contact. But why am I so concerned by his eye contact? And why the fuck is Sia so silent? Sia? Sia? I try calling in my wolf but nothing comes out. Weird."Uh... yeah, I'm fine. How are you?" I ask and then remember that he asked me the question because I passed out."I—I'm good." He says and fidgets with his fingers. Certainly nervous. Hmm.Tristian looks back at me and parts his lips to speak. "There are some people in the meeting room who want to meet you. I told them that you are in a fragile condition."I blink my eyes. "What people are in the meeting room?"He sighs. "The S
The next day,I prepare myself to meet Alex in the common room. The day before he told me to find something that will help me revive my memory. So what I did was roam around my room and was lucky enough to find my notebook that had the chit that Professor Sheila gave me. It had the request to look for the secret library in the main academic library. It's strange, but that one thing helped me to regain all my memories of yesterday. If Branson's spell was so strong then how could I remember so much at such a short time? Wouldn't that bitch make sure that I completely forget and never remember it? Well…I put my thoughts aside and put on my dress while Tessa snores in her bed. I chose to meet him early in the morning because that is the time Tessa won't look after me and we can talk alone. Other than that I remember Tristian telling me that he will come to meet me soon but I hope it's not early in the morning. I slowly open the door knob, trying
A message pops up on my phone screen and I look at it while Tristian sits in front of me on my bed. "Meet me in common room immediately." It's says. A message by Alex. And it looks urgent. Did he get it?"What is it? You looks distracted." Tristian asks."Uh.. it's nothing…" I tug my hair behind my ear. "What were you saying?""I didn't say anything." His eyes observe me carefully. I hope he dosen't get an idea of what the fuck is brewing inside my head."Tessa told me that she heard you have a problem with the Shadow Society."He sighs. "It's an old tale. I don't like their old ways of doing everything. If they ruled over all of it, this academy would have been only for werewolves or for witches. They can't take in the fact that Werewolves and witches can live in harmony.""Oh. That's terrible."
