2020-12-06 03:44:47The next morning, the Silver Stag informed us that the training was due today. Aunt Odessa was ceaselessly asking me about what I had been occupying my time with lately, but I was too afraid to answer her questions. If she would know about this, she would be disappointed and I couldn’t bear that. She had been making some medicines for me so my anxiety would go away and here I was, trying to worsen my condition. I did felt guilty for doing this behind her back, but this was the only way I could help my parents get back at the creature who killed them. And I was also doing this to prove something to them that all of the hallucinations, as what they called it, that I was continuously having was true.

I didn’t know why butterflies began to fly in my stomach when Tobias pressed his body against my back. My mind was screaming but, as much as I wanted to move, I didn’t. I was too caught up with the warmth his body emitted and the gentle touch of a man I rarely experienced in my life. He was too big that his whole body engulfed me, wrapping me like I was inside a cocoon. Aside from that, he smelled like aftershave, drenched with expensive perfume to intentionally captivate any woman he would pass by. I noticed it late, maybe because I was focusing on his features more than his scent.

Tobias pulled off in front of a parking lot of an apartment building that stood taller than where Aunt Odessa and I lived in. I lingered my eyes around the place, examining the surroundings around me before getting off the motorcycle. Unclipping the helmet, I took it off my head and handed it to Tobias beside me. He pulled it out of my hands and hung it on his motorcycle. As soon as he took off his helmet, his hair became disheveled as it danced with the breeze that swept on our skin. Pulling the coat tighter around me, I heaved a sigh and smoke came out of my mouth because of how freezing it was outside. But when Tobias touched my back as if to indicate me to go inside, his warm hand made the coldness subside. I nodded in response as we both headed into his apartment building and entered the lobby.

I stayed in Tobias’ place for a while to have some dinner. We had a few chats to get to know each other more and, hopefully, build a connection. At the back of my mind, I was beyond glad that I stumbled upon Tobias. It wasn’t the constant attraction that drew me towards him, but how surprised I was that we had things in common. Nowadays, it was rare to find people I could share my interest with, and, sometimes, finding people that understood me was considered a luck. I didn’t expect more from this date, nor did I anticipate to be engaged in a deep conversation with him because I thought my getting along with him was near to impossible. Gladly, I kept myself collected for the entire time so he wouldn’t notice my bizarre actions because of the anxiety.

I lodged my worn-out body on my bed after showering and stared at my phone on the nightstand. It kept buzzing the moment I arrived home, knowing that it was probably Valerie flooding me with messages. I left her on reading because I was exhausted. Maybe we could hang out tomorrow to catch up on things.As my exhaustion took over me, I fluttered my eyes close and contemplated what happened a while ago. My mind began to wander as a vivid image of a person appeared in my head. The moment I thought of him, the heat rushed to my cheeks and the butterflies in my stomach appeared. I could imagine him staring at me with his piercing gaze, his beauti

The exhaustion I felt instantly disappeared as I stared intently at the mark on Valerie’s right shoulder. I’d been with her for as long as I could remember. We’d been going to this before and this was the only time that I saw something like that. It was a mark that I’d known through my vague research about werewolves and she was the last person I imagined would have something like that. I didn’t want to assume that it had something to do with werewolves, but I couldn’t help myself from jumping to a conclusion. Noticing that it was an odd mark that was etched deep in the skin, it was hard to assume that it was a love bite rather it looked like it came from an animal. The mild swelling also made me skeptical that had me thinking that she just had this recently.

It had been a few days since Valerie and I went for a massage and we were now training in the Silver Stag for this coming ‘hunt’. Though nervous and worried, I continuously shook off all the information I’d found out recently so I could focus more. And I was grateful to Tobias for assisting me in all of the activities and deviating my attention from these nagging thoughts.“Your shooting skill is improving,” Tobias remarked with his breath brushing against my ears, causing me to back off a little.

Tobias started the engine as soon as I hopped into his motorcycle. Him noticing that I kept my hand on my lap, he put his hand behind and tugged my hands towards him. I wrapped my arms around his waist as his manly scent made its way to my nose, making me lean over to him with our bodies pressed against each other. He smelled intoxicating and I liked how he held my hand longer than I expected. Clearing my throat when I noticed that he wouldn’t let go of me, he gripped the handle before hitting the road.It wasn’t a long way home but, to me, it felt like forever. We arrived

I was in the Silver Stag, waiting in this area where we were seated. Sir Shelton called for a meeting with our platoon and I kept silent since I had no one to talk to. Tobias wasn’t here for some reason I didn’t bother to know. I’d been used to his company and whenever he wasn’t around, my eyes would constantly linger to search for him.“Everyone, please be seated.” Sir Shelton motioned the latecomers to their seats. “Today, I’m going to distribute the equipment necessary for hunting a werewolf. All of the groups will be receiving the same thing so if there was any confusion, feel free to ask me,&rdq

A few years later I peered through the oven before grabbing the potholder and pulled it open. The smoke and the aroma of the freshly cooked chicken made its way through the kitchen, as I laid it on the counter. I saw someone moved at the side of my eye and when an arm suddenly laced around my lower torso, I giggled and turned my back around to face Giofré. “Hey,” he said in a husky voice before leaning his face to me and placed a kiss on my lips. I curled my lips to a smile and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Hey, hun. Have you already considered my proposal?” “You’re making it sound like we’re dealing a business matter.” Giofré chuckled before pulling away from me. He moved to my side and opened the fridge, getting a glass pitcher before continuing, “I’m still not sure about it.” “Why not?” I shrugged. “I mean, we’re not leaving this town completely. There’s

It had been a few months after that tremendous crisis we had gone through in defeating the dark soul and the other supernatural creatures that dared to destroy our living. We had survived that tribulation and we managed to get back up and rebuild everything that was destroyed, especially our pack. It still hadn’t struck us that the war was over, and the crippling anxiety was still lingering around. But those circumstances taught us the biggest lesson in life: no matter how hard it gets or how unbearable life gets, you get back up and fight. It felt as though we were trained as soldiers—battle through hardships and face the biggest hurdles that came along the way, not knowing if we would survive. But we fought anyway because we had some people to protect—those people we cared about. I once thought that, perhaps, I was supposed to get rid of all the pain in order to find genuine happiness. But I figured,

The veins bulging from Elspeth’s face began to diminish and she fluttered her lids open, gasping for air as she came back to life once the knife was pulled out of her. But when she tried to move from her spot, she failed because her body seemed to froze because of the spell Aunt Odessa cast upon her. With fury building up in her eyes, she stared at Aunt who was chanting under her breath while sprinkling some salt on top of her. She screamed in torment as soon the particles touched her skin, and I could imagine how much it must’ve hurt her. It might’ve felt like there was a burning sensation on her flesh because of the smoke her skin emanated as soon as the salt landed on her. She groaned loudly, too loud that not even the rainstorm could overpower her ear-splitting voice. As Aunt Odessa continuously chanted the Latin words written on the pages, the wind became more aggressive, making me almost lose my balance. The candles were still lit and the wind didn’t swe

Agatha opened the trunk as I dropped Elspeth’s body inside, with the knife still plunged in her back. Her pale skin turned to grey and purplish veins became prominent on her skin, some even bulged in her neck and face. As soon as I got Elspeth inside, I turned to look at my right and spotted Lucas and Weston, running toward the car while Lucas lifted a body on his shoulder. I motioned them to hurry and, once they were already in front of me, Lucas dropped the body beside Elspeth. His face immediately came into my view—eyes shut close, mouth parted, and his skin was almost as pale as Elspeth. My heart clenched at the sight of him and I couldn’t help but cover my mouth in shock. I hadn’t seen him after the incident and it pained me tremendously that this was what happened to him. All of these, defeating the dark soul and the vampire, was for him and the pack. Though his loss caused me to be wretched inside, it brought out the suppressed st

We arrived at the mountain of witches, venturing through the forest with my arms wrapped around the book protectively. All of their attention averted to me as soon as we halted, so I roamed my eyes around and took a deep breath. “Aunt!” I shouted, but my voice was overpowered by the thunder. “Aunt Odessa, we have something for you!” The vigorous wind caused the leaves that had fallen from the trees to fly around us as we scooted closer to one another. And just as I thought that Aunt Odessa wouldn’t appear immediately, I heard her voice from behind me saying, “Portia.” I turned my back to face her and when she noticed the book in my grasp, there was a sudden spark in her eyes. She tugged her thin lips to a half-smile and slowly approached our vicinity. “We got the grimoire you were looking for.” I

Our clothes were soaking wet because of the rainstorm and we had to drop by in Giofré’s house to find some clothes to wear. And since almost all of our stuff were stuck there, we managed to change our clothes so we could head to our destination which was the library. Library of Hillford was the oldest library in this town and was the main library of this city. It was one of the largest libraries in this country, containing the oldest—ancient—books that only the Hillford was authorized to have. I remembered, during high school, I had been there once. It was for a research and when we got the chance to use the computers, we found some skeptical files in there that the librarian was quick to notice. As soon as they thought we were snooping around—like what usual highschoolers do—we were kicked out. That was the only memory I had in that place, never had I thought that the grimoire would lead us to that lib

I approached the voice and, as I got closer to the end of the hall, the light of the torch reflected to the iron bar where I spotted Weston, seated on the ground near the rusted bars. He was staring at me in dismay, his eyes hinted sorrow as if he was about to tear up. He tilted his head down to hide his face, shifting from his seat before he sighed. “Weston,” I mumbled his name, walking closer before crouching down beside him. The muffled groan of the werewolves inside this place was the only thing I could hear aside from our heavy breathing. “I’ll get you out of here.” I gripped my free hand on the bar and immediately flinched as soon as I realized that it was made of silver. Silver tarnishes because of the sulfur substance in the air. “You can’t get me out of here.” His voice was laced with hopelessness. “And I do not know if I can still fight.” “If I can muster enough strength, t

Under the stormy night where darkness engulfed the forest and the trees were soaked up with rain, their branches falling on the ground as their leaves rustled, we ventured through the woods and hid behind a huge rock that stood just in front of the warlock’s tower. We viewed the vampires guarding the place from afar and we kept our noises as inaudible as possible so they wouldn’t sense that there were other creatures around. As we held the wooden stakes, with Agatha holding the crossbow, we all stared at each other to plan for an attack. “There are about twenty of them outside the tower, and some were roaming around inside,” Lucas said, peering through the huge rock as Agatha and I leaned against it. “We already manage to escape kill most of them last time, I’m sure we can do it again. Maybe we have more advantage because of these weapons.” “But what if the warlock suddenly shows up?” Agatha asked and I sighed in frustration. &nb

“We’ve been in the dwarves’ village to find some answers. They told us that only the witches have the ability to resurrect a dead body. But since the nature wouldn’t allow this loophole to maintain the balance, it was near to impossible to find a grimoire containing a complex magic,” I told Aunt Odessa but she shook her head as if disagreeing from what I said. “There’s, indeed, a grimoire containing the spell that could resurrect any creatures.” She pulled away from me, her hands falling to her side as she started pacing back and forth. I glanced at Lucas and Agatha and noticed that they were already shivering from the cold atmosphere, but they chose to stay in my vicinity to watch me intently as I talked to my aunt. Agatha mumbled something under her breath, mouthing what now to me. “You’ve seen the grimoire?” I asked, raising my brows and casually glancing
