CHAPTER 79 LENA. I was awoken by the shrill ring of my phone. It was one thing I hated being awoken by. Rolling over to the other side of my bed, I grabbed my phone and checked to see that it was a call from Leah. At first, I was taken aback that she was calling me. Then I sat up while rubbing my eyes to be sure this wasn't a dream. Well, it wasn't, because as soon as I picked up the call, her voice flooded into the phone. "Hey, Lena!" She greeted in a chirpy voice. Wow. "Hey, Leah," I replied in a sleepy voice. "What's up?" I didn't even have the strength to be mad at her. I had been awoken from my slumber and didn't have it in me go get into anything intense. "You coming to school today?" Okay, this was definitely a dream. "But school is closed for a few days till everything is resolved." "Yes, it was announced in school yesterday but Luke woke me up this morning to tell me that Trevor called. We are still allowed to go to school because the school aren
CHAPTER 80 LENA. Bang! I was snapped back into reality by the sound of something falling behind me. Leah must have noticed my movement because she placed a hand on my arm. "What's wrong?" I composed myself and shook my head. "Nothing at all." I turned back to see a student picking up his laptop from the ground. It was already a mess. I didn't feel sorry for him. Sighing, I tried to listen to the rest of what Principal Gregor was saying but I kept going back to the brief moment of insanity I had experienced. Insanity, yes. Because who heard the voice of dead people if they weren't insane? My mother speaking to me, the voices of the dead students wailing before their deaths. It felt so real. So fucking real that I started to feel goosebumps rise on my skin. It was fucking scary and traumatizing. That's because you are a medium. You experienced a brief moment of clairaudience. And what the fuck did that mean? A medium is someone who can hear the voices of the
CHAPTER 81 LENA. Time must have stopped. Because why was the only thing I could hear coming from the trickling water from the faucet? I turned towards the monster, only to see that it had frozen mid air, sabre like teeth aimed at me and it's shadowy feathers mid air. Still shaking, I stretched out my hand to poke this creature, only to realize that my hand went through it. It was fucking porous. A shadow. I took several steps back, hitting my back against the wall as I studied the creature with in horror. It was definitely what had been killing people. This was my chance to kill it, right? I could end it here and now. But how the hell was I going to do it? Your body didn't go into time stopping defense mode for you to fight this. It is for you to run! I jolted from the door. "Run? But I can—" You can't. Not when you have not fully harnessed your powers, Lena. This creature is too powerful for you. Or for anyone. So leave. Tell the whole school
CHAPTER 82 LENA. All we heard from where we stood were crashes, growls and inhuman screeches. Leah held onto Luke who was obviously scared but putting up the brave boyfriend look for her. He looked at me. "We should get going, don't you think?" "Yes, we should," Principal Gregor rushed back to us. "I already alerted the army and they will be here in no time to stop this. Since it's just one creature, we can escape to the safety of our homes. It's already being announced that no one is to step out till this demon is subdued." We all nodded and followed after him. Vice Principal Agatha was already several meters away from us, running like her life depended on it. Well, didn't it? We kept running, joining the other students that were rushing to their various vehicles. I stopped and my friends turned to me. "Why the fuck are you stopping, Lena?! We gotta go?" My eyes scanned the area for any signs of Damon or his motorcycle. "I need to find Damon. I haven'
CHAPTER 83 LENA. News came back to us that we were now free to go back to our homes. The guardians and hunters were still stationed in their positions if anything bad happened and from what Trevor had heard from his father, only three out of the ten hunters deployed to the school to help the students and try to bring down the demon had died. Students had also died. About seven of them and they had all been taken to the morgue. It messed with my balance. Hearing that these people had died when I was literally here, our saviour. I didn't even know what I was. "Lena, I'll drop you off." Lean said as she stood to her feet and wrapped her arm around Luke's. You suddenly want to drop me off after ditching me twice? How nice. But I didn't say those words to her. I would have turned her down and sent Damon a text to come pick me but nothing felt right at the moment and I didn't want to see him yet so I agreed to let Leah drive me home. I slipped into the b
CHAPTER 84 LENA. I spent the rest of the day playing video games with Jason and letting him beat me. He was more of an emotional gamer, crying and calling me a cheat each time I beat him. So I let him win this time. After that, I had spent time with him in his room, playing Lego with him Nd when he finally fell asleep after dinner, I decided to retire to my room. I Bad spent most of my time doing other things because I didn't want to sit and wait for Damon to visit like I was some hopeless romantic. When I finally got to my room, it was about eight o'clock and I believed be wasn't going to visit again. Curfew time was up and anyone seen outside was going to be locked up. I'd even sent him a text, asking him not to worry about visiting me but he was online. I decided to watch a movie to pass time. From the looks of things, no student was going to attend school tomorrow. There has been a lot of damage to the school's building plus who knew of this demon was go
CHAPTER 85 LENA. "Do you think this is ever going to end?" I asked after we sat in silence for a few minutes. He turned his head to look at me. "What are you talking about?" "The deaths. It started all of a sudden. Will it end the same way it started?" Damon leaned back against the roof and placed both of his arms behind his head as a form of cushion. "Maybe. Maybe not." "Why do you think so?" He turned his head to look at me. "Because demons don't stop until they get what they want? I've read a few things about demonism and they are unstoppable, no matter what." "You know, I was scared today," I said, finally picking up the courage to speak to downtown about my experience back at the girl's rest room. "Why?" "I saw the demon today. It was during the speech after Mr McMahon's death and I—" I couldn't tell him about the voices. Not yet at least. "I went to the restroom. I heard noises coming from the cubicle and I thought it was someone else in th
CHAPTER 86 LENA. I couldn't process anything that was happening around me as I was focused on soothing the searing pain that tore through my body as I tried to shift. I let out a half cry, half howl as I turned. White hairs sprouted out of my body and my claws shot out, digging into the wooden floor and cracking wood. I felt the anatomy of my mouth change as my fangs came out and the last thing I heaed before I broke through my window was the sound of my father calling my name. I woke up feeling pains in every part of my body. I was back in my bed and when I saw the scratches on my body, I immediately sat up. My father was seated on the edge of the bed, looking worried. Aunt Raya stood by the door with a smile on her face and Jason sleeping in her arms. "You scared the hell out of us, Lena," My father said as he leaned over to stroke my messed up hair. "We didn't realize you were going to shift and fully turn tonight." I took my time to look around my room. My
