Amber stared at the person dressed in black. A black jean with a black jacket, on a black top, and she saw how his black hair moved with the wind. When his eyes fell on her, he smiled with his teeth revealing and Amber could not help but admire him. He looked nothing less than a charming devil who had manage to pull her heart in just a night’s encounter and Amber felt a spark in her. Her lashes fluttered slowly and the cool breeze of the evening didn’t help to reduce the way she felt. How come she didn’t notice this side of him last night? She then realized that she had been too busy focusing on how to escape to notice how attractive he looks.Amber stared at him as he walks up to her before coming to stand in front of her. It was hard for her to take her eyes off him as she could not believe that she had been with this same person for more than three hours.“Hey,” he greeted and then said, “Is the staring thing a norm here?” he asked and scratched his forehead slightly.Amber snapped
“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”--William Shakespeare, The Tempest_Amber felt different and peace within her than the last time she attended the school’s bonfire. The last time was hard for her because she had to steal glances at Kevin and lower her eyes shyly whenever he looks at her and she feels hurt whenever Mirabel sticks closer to him. But now, she does not feel that way anymore. It was more like she was feeling confident which has never happened before and with Jade sitting next to her, it increased her confidence.Speaking of Kevin, Amber realized that he had not said a single word ever since he joined them and she slowly raised her eyes to look at him. Seeing his expression, she guessed that he must be in deep thoughts.A junior soon came with a tray in her hand and said, “Mexican hot chocolate for six. This is our special treat for the seniors,” and then she handed each of them a cup.“Thank you,” Amber thanked her when she handed her one and the junior smiled
Students were running for their lives, vampires were hunting down their preys, friends betrayed friends by leaving them behind and saving their own lives first and soon, they all spread across the streets, causing chaos and killing anyone that they came across. There was carnage everywhere and from where Amber and the others stood, horror filled their eyes and Amber knew just what was happening. It was like the story that Hazel had told her back at the bookshop.The Chosen One didn’t make a sacrifice. She wanted revenge and these were the army she was after. The last war was not really the last after all. Now, the fate of mortality lies in her hand. She was the Chosen One, but she does not remember any of that, even though she has a feeling that she knew these people.“Kyra, we need to leave. I cannot defeat these people and neither can you, without your army. Right now, everyone is bloodthirsty and they are multiplying. They will choose their sides. We leave and fight another day,” Ha
Amber shut her eyes and accepted her fate. She would die and there was no other way about it, at least, not in the midst of these perilous creatures. It seems to her that everywhere she goes, death follows her and was looking for the perfect time to take her with it. What would become of her mother? She asked herself. She would never make it alive and Amber wished for her to have a painless death.“May we meet again,” Amber said her parting words in her mind as she felt she was getting closer to the ground and a tear escaped the corner of her eye.“Maybe not now,” a deep male voice said and Amber felt the chills in her body before her body landed on something or someone that has a tight grip on her to prevent her from crashing to the ground.Amber’s heart skipped a beat and she flung open her eyes immediately to see the vampire that had saved her from the other vampire that was determined to kill her earlier.“You can read minds?” was the first thing that came out of Amber’s mouth aft
Amber pushed Jade off her and ran towards her home, her heart beating heavily in her chest and her eyes looking terrified. She hurriedly went to the door and with shaky hands, she opened it wide. She was startled when she saw the vampire who had crashed inside, in front of her but at the same time, she saw him go down and fall flat on the ground, a big hole at his back where blood started to spill from. She looked up and saw the vampire who had helped her and Jade soon appeared behind her. Wasting no time further, she entered her home and her eyes scanned for her mother. Not seeing her anywhere in sight, she used her hand to cover her mouth and her expression was that of someone about to cry.“Mom?” Amber called and waited to hear her mother’s voice. She was too scared to go upstairs for the fear of what she might find there. “Mom!” she called again but received no response.“There is someone in the room,” the vampire said and Amber looked at him with teary eyes. “I can hear the heart
Kevin continued to run for his own safety. Now he was running from two things; the vampires and the student who now chased him. Was it his fault that he didn’t have the boldness to quickly go back and help him? But then, he thought that if he had helped him, he would have been the sacrificial lamb.As he ran faster, using all the strength left in him, he didn’t realize that he was already getting tired and his pace was slowly reducing. In less than two minutes, the boy caught him by the collar and Kevin’s senses went wide awake. He gasped and continued to push forward, hoping that he would break free from the boy but instead, the boy pulled him back with force and he fell hard on the ground, scraping his exposed skin.Kevin eyes scanned around frantically and he quickly got back to his feet but as he made to start running again, the boy came in front of him and kicked him hard in the knee. Kevin fell to the ground and he screamed as his knee had been dislocated by the junior who didn’
This chapter is specially written for Roberta__Amber’s eyes darted towards the entrance and she struggled to move towards it. It felt like something heavy was hanging around her body, making it difficult for her to move and the next step she took, she saw herself going down with a slight thud. “Ah!” she sat up and groaned before her eyes lowered to look at what she was wearing. It was a pastel long ancient-like gown where several layers of clothes were added. She huffed in frustration and moved her eyes around the room, looking for her own clothes and she saw that there was particularly nothing to see in the room. She suddenly laughed, her body jerking and she cursed under her breath. “These people must be kidding me for real,” she said and packed the clothes with her hands before managing to stand. “After ruining my city, now they want to hold me captive and turn me into a princess I clearly am not. I wonder who the prince charming will be. Not that I mind if I stab him in the neck
Amber descended the stairs along with Jade, Bathilda and the vampire and they walked along the spaced corridor. She had requested to see her mother before anything else because she does not trust anyone of them and she wanted to make sure that her mother was okay.As they walked, their boots marching on the ground while she walked barefooted, she could not help but wonder how the world had suddenly changed. It was like waking up in a world she never knew where the kind of people different from her took her as someone important. It made her feel like she has an important mission to accomplish, but she was not ready, at least not yet. Everything still looks so strange to her and she will need a lot of time blending in before doing anything. At least, that was what she thought.On getting to the front of a room, Bathilda stopped and turned to face her. “Your mother is in this room,” she let her know.Amber quickly nodded and turned the handle but realizing it was locked from the inside,
