Amber walked fast in the corridor, heading back to her room after her little chat with Aiden which had put her in a fix. She would not wait and let Sage die and in order to make sure he stays alive, she needs to recollect her past memories; she needs to remember who she was; she needs to become Kyra. Jade, Bathilda, and now Aiden; they all made her feel like she holds a kind of authority and she is someone important to the people in Polis. All she needs to know is just one thing_ Who was Kyra Blackburn?She pushed the door to her room opened and saw the emptiness. “Where did they all go?” she thought and quickly turned to step outside again when she saw Echo in the way.“Where is Bathilda?” she asked as she walked towards her.“She went downstairs. It seems there is an emergency,” she let her know and before Amber made to leave, she said, “My mother wants to see you.”“Later,” Amber said and left in a hurry. Right now, saving Sage matters the most...to her.After climbing down the l
In a dark room with four walls where there are no windows, Meera scratched her nails on the walls and her mouth moved as she was muttered something inaudible. She did not know how many nights have passed since she was locked up as every second that passed was night for her. She felt like she would go mad any minute and worse still, she hasn’t had food or water, or even bathed. But that was nothing compared to what she was feeling at the moment. Her throat is burning and she needs something other than water to quench her thirst. Also, her back aches far worse than she has ever imagined that she felt that her bones would push out.Kyle had betrayed her, even though she never exposed him, and Klaus had watched her as she was being dragged away. She should never have trusted them, or better still, she should have known what she was signing up for the moment she agreed to their deal. At least, that was what she thought.As she scratched her nails harder on the wall where the flesh soon sta
Meera was dragged out of the dungeon by two guards and taken into a room where candles were lit all around to give light. Her eyes had already swollen and her limbs already turned numb. She did not know why she was brought into this room. Were they perhaps going to kill her here? Does that mean her time on earth was already up? Was this what Kyle told her to get ready for?Amidst her thoughts of ending up dead, a smile appeared on her lips. It could be her last smile and she scoffed when the guards released her, making her body crash to the floor. As she was too weak to move, she stayed there and only raised her head up to see Zul who now came to stand in front of her. His presence alone answered all the questions that were in her mind. She was going to die, and he, Zul, was going to kill her.Zul released a heavy sigh as he placed both his hands on either sides of his waist and he clicked his tongue before he said to her, “You look more miserable than I expected. I thought you were m
Sage sat on the bare floor in chains and he stared out of the small window in the room where he was. From there, he could see the moon which remained a quarter to complete and he took in a sigh before releasing through his nose. It has been two days since he was locked up, awaiting the day he would finally be punished. He had escaped his punishment in the past where he flee with Kyra, abandoning his own Coven and joining hands with the Blackburn Coven, but now that things had gone back to how it was, he knows just what the intentions of his former Coven members will be, and their leader.His eyes darted to the entrance when he heard the sound of chains and the metal door to where he was opened. With the little light that entered the room, he could see a person dressed in black with a black veil covering the face and he just stared right up at the person. When the door was shut, at first, he thought it was another prisoner, or the person sent to kill him, but when the person quickly re
“Wait, tell me again. Who is Simone?” Amber asked as she walked with Bathilda, heading to the training ground with Harper who seems to be interested in the discussion. Amber added much effort as she walked because she was carrying a bag filled with arrows and on her shoulder hung the bow she will be using for the training. She did not know how to shoot an arrow and she would have argued with Bathilda earlier about it, but she did not because she had gone to plead with her to train her and she will have to do whatever she says. “Simone is Sage’s half-sister,” Bathilda responded to her question as she walked with her hands folded behind her.Sage has a sister? Amber thought as she took in the new information. She wanted to know all about the person Aiden revealed was her lover in the past.“Simone’s real brother is Simon,” Bathilda continued. “He is a year apart from Simone but Sage is the oldest.”Amber smiled at the revelation. It felt good to know that his mother was his father’s f
In Athens, Aamon arrived at Silver-Crest Coven with other Coven leaders and they were led into the inner chambers of the building. There, the Elders were already seated and they all held furious looks. It was due to the dispute that happened between them before they all resurrected.They all took their seats and after waiting a little longer for the last person who never arrived, they started without him.An Elder was the first to speak to begin the meeting and he started by clearing his throat to gain their attentions. “First, I would like to say that the Elders appreciate you all for being here. As we start, I would like us to put behind all that happened in the past and to discuss the events that will follow in this new life that we have been given. The reason we called you all here is to bring peace into this world and live without any war. Also, as you know, the world has changed and—”“Why isn’t the leader of Dark Shadows Coven here?” Gabriel, leader of Night Raiders Coven of Ar
Amber released the arrow from the bow and it went forward only to fall on the ground few feet from where she stood. Her jaw dropped instantly and she looked down at the arrow and saw her failure. She was determined the arrow would hit the board but now she looks clearly disappointed.“Again,” she heard Bathilda say and she went to pick the arrow from the dusty ground before positioning herself again.She brought the arrow forward, hooking it with the line of the bow and she stretched her hand backward, drawing it along with her. she fixed her eyes on the board and when she thought she was ready to go, she released it but got disappointed again.“Again.”This went on until the seventeenth time with Amber not giving up and Harper and Samantha who noticed them, watched from where they stood.“Again,” Bathilda said for the eighteenth time and Amber dropped to her knees with tears in her eyes.“Amber!” Harper called immediately and left her tools before rushing to where she was.Amber lift
Amber sat on the cold stone bed with her feet wrapped against each other as she thought back on what happened at the training ground. The door soon opened and when she moved her eyes towards the entrance, she saw that it was Harper.Harper smiled on seeing her and she had her hands behind her back as she walked towards where Amber sat before gentle sitting down beside her.Amber furrowed her brows a bit at her as she found it rather odd and she guessed that something must be up with her."What is it?" She asked her and Harper quickly turned her head to look at her with raised brows."What?" She asked back and then said, "Ah! It's nothing."Amber gave a slight nod and looked away from her only to hear her say, "Bathilda is so mean. How dare she treat you that way when you are obviously her Hedda? You should definitely remove her as the commander." Harper went on complaining and Amber just listened to her.Bathilda already told her about what she did but Amber knows it is Hazel's doing.
