It was only after she placed the sword on Aiden’s neck did she realize what she was doing, but there was no going back now.“What do you think you are doing?” Bathilda asked with a frown and made her way towards her but she was quick to stop when Amber glared at her with anger in her eyes.“Better to stay where you are,” Amber warned her and moved her eyes back to look at Aiden who stood there calmly, his expression barely changing and that was enough to make her furious. “What did you do to my mother?” she demanded and tilted her head to the side a bit. “Why does she not want to see me all of a sudden after we were brought here? Is all these...” she moved her hand and pointed them towards the crowd, “...your doings? I should have suspected you when you called Emma and I to your office the other day and said those things to us. It was after that day I started experiencing strange things and my mother changed. Tell me, what exactly are you planning? Thanks to you, the world is already
“It is my fault,” Kevin blamed himself as he stared up. “If I had convinced her to leave that boy alone and come with me, she would have been here now and safe.”Mirabel frown deeply and she shot at him, “You would have been dead if I did not save you. Remember I found this place and it is only because of me that the three of you are alive right now. I saved you and if you feel bad for Amber, you should have just stayed with her and die together. Every time, Amber this, Amber that. Did you even think about Harper?”Kevin turned his head to look at her and he asked, “Do you think she is still alive too?”Mirabel wanted to yell at him because to her, he is so dumb, but she kept her anger to herself and said instead, “I will go out and check if anyone is still alive,” and she turned around and walked out of the hiding angrily.Mirabel walked in the open space with a stick in her hand which she held firmly, it’s sharpened tip pointing ahead and her eyes scrutinized the whole place as she
“How do we get in?” Amber asked as the entrance has been blocked and there was no way to get inside. “I think I know how,” the vampire; Sage, said without looking at her and he took up to the sky, his wings spreading out. He flew towards the window, above the lower class and he bent one of his wings in a bow before flapping it against the window which shattered to pieces. He landed on the foot of the window frame and looked down at them before jumping inside. Amber moved her eyes to look at Bathilda and as if knowing what she was about to say, she took her hand and spread out her wings before flying up together and she made her balance on the window frame. She jumped inside the classroom and looked around the place in recognition. Her own classroom should be two classes away, she thought and looked behind her to see Bathilda whose eyes was busy scrutinizing the place. “Jade and Samantha are checking the lower floor,” she said, still looking around. “I should be watching out for any
Mirabel was taken into a dark cellar led by Klaus who had brought her and with a snap of his finger, the place became lit. All along the way, since they left the store and journeyed to where they are now, she has been left in awe. She had flown with Klaus on his back and she had admired his wings which spread out on each sides. she had felt the rush of the wind on her face and everything looked so surreal. She could see all the world right below her and she felt she can do almost anything, but that is only if she is one like them, and now, she wishes to be one. Maybe they were not so bad after all, she thought.She looked around the place they were in and her eyes moved to fall on someone in the room whom she recognized immediately, but standing behind him was a huge vampire who had a shiny sword in his hand and his looks are intimidating. She returned her eyes back to the boy; the junior who had wounded Kevin and she looked at him menacingly when he waved at her with a smile.“So now
“What are you both doing?” Amber turned and they both saw Bathilda standing at the entrance of the classroom.“Someone is down here,” Sage said and added, “still alive.”Bathilda walked to where they stood and she looked at the both of them before looking down and she moved around a bit before stopping. She tapped her boot on the ground and said, “This spot should be good.”“So?” Sage asked, looking at her with a raised brow.Bathilda raised her head and moved it to the side to look at him. “Smash into it,” she said and when he didn’t move, she tapped her boot on the spot again.Amber watched the both of them and she took her time to guess who is older between them. To her, Bathilda should be around the age of twenty five while Sage should be a few years older. And now she could not help but think about Mirabel at the moment. When Jade had visited during the bonfire, she had tried to gain his attention. So now that the world had come to this, if she happens to set her eyes on Sage, o
Samantha who was busy checking out the faucet, not understanding what it was and how it works, left it and turned her body to meet Harper’s eyes just in time as she was staring at her. Her brows moved up a little, seeing that she is now fully consciousness and Harper quickly looked away from her. Amber pulled her body away from her and she helped her get on her feet. Sage also stood up straight and he walked to stand a few distance away from them, checking something out just to keep himself busy.“Your outfit...” Harper said, just noticing the fitting outfit that Amber wore and she moved her eyes up to look at her. “Did you find a safe place out there? Like a camp?” she asked, her brows going up with each questions. “Did someone come to save us? Do you think my mother is safe too? What about our friends; Kevin and Mirabel? Did you all escape together?”Amber blinked at her questions. It was one she did not have any answer to but it was not like Kevin and Mirabel had never crossed her
Amber stared at nothing in particular as she leaned against the wall, waiting for Harper to wake up. She is the only one delaying them from going to save the cop_ if he is still alive, and from there, they would go back to Polis or whatever is the place she doesn’t even care to know.She stopped staring when she felt a presence beside her and she looked up to see Sage who also lean his back against the wall next to her. She shifted her eyes to fall on Bathilda who was busy pacing around and she let out a soft sigh.“Do you have something to say to me? Because it seems to me that you do,” she said without looking at him.“I actually don’t,” Sage said, his voice sounding soft.“Then why did you come here?” she asked and waited for his reply when she suddenly remembered something. “By the way,” she turned her head to look at him, “Why did you save me?” she asked.“That is because you are the Chosen One. You will always be protected. If I don’t, someone else will.”“I don’t want that answ
When Mirabel regained her consciousness, she felt like a new person and a new kind of energy surged through her whole body that felt like it now controls her.Kyle stood from the chair and walked to stand in front of her. He said, “Mirabel, you are lucky to have survived. You are now my subject and you will refer to me as your master because I own you now and I can kill you anytime you try to think you can outsmart or betray me.” He run his finger up he neck and said, “A slit is all it takes, and you are ten feet below.”Mirabel bowed her head and said, “I owe my life to you. I will never betray you, master.”A smile appeared on Kyle’s lips and he gave her a pat on the head. “My mission is to kill the claimed Chosen One, which is your enemy, because she is a threat to our existence. She is the one sent to bring an end to our immortality. The second,” he said, “I want to have power. In order for that, I need my master out of the picture. I want him dead and I will become the next leade
Kevin was with the two other female juniors, eating anything they came across in a mini mall. It has been four days since they crawled out of their hiding place and began their eating rampage due to hunger. As they were going about it, Meera suddenly appeared out of nowhere, making them scream and to stand on their toes.“Mirabel!” Kevin exclaimed immediately when he recognized her and Meera moved her eyes to look at the two juniors who cling unto each other like always. A scoff escaped her lips and she asked, “Is this what you have been doing? All you ever did was to eat? Did you even care if I was dead or alive?”“You were gone for seven days. That is a week,” Kevin said and added, “At least you are here now.” A look of relief passed through his face.“At least you bothered to count,” Meera replied him back and her eyes moved to fall on the two juniors again.“W-where have you been?” one of them asked and she recognized her instantly. “You were only going to check and then you disa
"Long time no see. But who should I answer first? Dear sister, or the great Kyra?” Simon said and started to walk towards them.Jade came forward and pulled Amber to the back quickly and then he looked at Simone. “Is this what you planned?” he asked and from behind, Amber could see the little rage in his eyes. “Did the Elders ask you to lure me here and is that the reason Aiden has not returned?”Aiden. So Aiden is not at Polis right now, Amber thought to herself and she calculated through the time when Harper mentioned she was going to see Aiden and Jade looked at her. He knew! She thought again.“I came here on my own and I have not the slightest idea why he is here. I haven’t even set my eyes on him since I resurrected not until now,” Simone sounded honest.“Then why hasn’t Aiden returned and why did you send the letter?”Simone turned to face him and asked, “Did you come because you trusted the letter, or the one who sent it?” Releasing a sigh, she said, “I need to help Sage and t
Amber waited in her room for Jade and she tapped her feet on the ground, feeling anxious. She has no idea what he wants to show her but she cannot wait to see what it was. Every time, she would turn her eyes towards the door whenever she hears any slight sound, thinking it was him. Not long after, the sound of instruments playing filled her ears; especially the piano and she shut her eyes to the merry voices of the people. They seem to have wanted a night like this since they resurrected, she thought, and just then, she heard a swooshing sound behind her and her hairs flew up due to the amount of sudden breeze that came with it.Alarmed, she turned her head swiftly only to see Jade who now walked up to her and she stood up immediately, looking surprised, and she moved her eyes to look at the open window from where he came in.Moving her eyes back to look at him, she pointed towards the door and said, “I thought you were go—”But Jade grabbed her hand before she could complete what she
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.
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
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
“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
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
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
