JAVIEREverything was dark all around me, I was wrapped up in a cocoon of darkness and I did not know what was happening in the world around me.Then without any warning, a powerful shockwave hit me and put a crack in my cocoon, a ray of light filtered in and I reached for it immediately and tore at the cocoon until there was a hole big enough for me to climb through.It then felt like I was slowly rising to the surface after being submerged in a deep dark liquid for too long, it took me a while to fully return to my senses and when I did, I was overwhelmed and confused.The first thing I noticed was all the chanting and screaming, there were a lot of people around, wolves, I could tell and then something else, I could smell death in the air, vampires too.I had never been in the company of so many of them before then I locked eyes with Mia and I remembered what I had done to her.Not just to her, to Olivia, to my brother, to her mother, to Bastien, and Leo, oh my goodness, I was such
IVANWith Mia captured, it was different, we were able to track her thanks to her mother, things were happening so fast that it felt like I would not even be able to keep up.Mia had been sent away by her mother and then Javier had attacked us and defeated all of us easily, he was about to end my life, my brother, and that was when Olivia stepped in.Why did she step in? Maybe she felt responsible somehow and was trying to make amends but that didn't work, she just ended up getting killed by the man she called her bestie, it was tragic.Now we were all in Bastien's car heading towards the site of the ritual. Sarcana had been able to track Mia to where she was being held.All that was on my mind at this point was to kick down the front door and rush in to rescue her, but I knew deep down we didn't have the strength to stop our adversaries, we were most likely going for a suicide mission."How are we going to take down all those guys and free Mia?" Leo asked.That was when Sarca
MIAWhat was going on? I was supposed to be dead was I not? Instead, everywhere seemed bright and happy.Not the dark and cold embrace of death that took hold of me earlier, what was going on? I could feel the sunlight on my face and I could hear birds chirping happily in the distance.My hands went to my chest, to where the blade was plunged into me, I felt around the skin frantic, there was no scar, no depression, no sign that I had sustained any injury of any kind at all.I opened my eyes and looked around, I had to blink to adjust my eyes to the brightness that was all around me.I was lying in a field and I was wearing a short rosy gown as opposed to the dark blouse and the tight jeans I had on when I was stabbed.I sat up, the grasses were about two feet high and they were swaying in the soft breeze that was blowing, it was all I could see for miles, a field covered in green grasses and hills all around.I got up and walked through the grasses bare-foot, there was just something
MIAThe next few days were all dark and gloomy, we had won the war but the cost was heavy and it was felt by everyone of us, most of all was Javier.For the first few days, we just holed up in the isolated house that Leo had found and there we passed days as we all tried to come to terms with what had just happened. But today was the day, the day we said goodbye for good.Ivan and Leo had decided that we would all mourn our dead on the same day. Leo handled all the preparation, that was the least that he could do, he said.The first few days were the worst, Javier blamed himself for everything even though we told him that it was Rylee’s fault that he had that evil put in him in the first place and even though he knew this himself, he still blamed himself.How could he not? I sympathized with him and as he hurt, we hurt too. He killed Olivia and then also went ahead to kill Bastien when trying to kill my mom who was protecting him from killing his own brother.It was a very horrible ex
MIA“Your stem cells weren't a match, I’m sorry.”The doctor’s words caused a shock in my brain as I swayed slightly, holding the edge of the bed to prevent myself from falling. “Are you alright, Miss?” the doctor asked. I gave him a weak smile, “I don't understand. Why didn't my stem cells match? She's my mother.”The doctor looked around the room, clearing his throat, “Perhaps we can discuss that after your mother is fine. We have a match and we need money to facilitate the surgery process.”I knew he was hiding something but I was too tired to force him to cough it up so I just left him and kept quiet, watching as he left the hospital room. My heart sank as he closed the door and I sat down on the small chair beside my mother’s bedside. We were in a small hospital with essential medical equipment and yet I couldn't pay my mother’s medical bills. It's been two months since she's been admitted to the hospital and the stem cell transplant from me was supposed to help her take care
MIA“I’m sorry I can't help you.”I was a few seconds from breaking down completely especially when he stared at me like I was dirt and I was disturbing him. “What do you mean you can't help me?” I asked him, gritting my teeth. Howard stared at me like I had lost my shit before he burst into a mocking laughter. “I can't help you because I don't care what happens. You can't barge into my house and force me to save your mother.”“But she's your sister!” I cried. “So?” he arched an eyebrow at me, his mocking smile never leaving his lips.I saw his wife scoff as she stared at me before continuing to scroll through her phone.“Filthy beggars,” she muttered under her breath but I heard her. I've always wondered what the history was between my mom and uncle. My parents weren't as wealthy as my uncle but when my father was alive we were comfortable. Ever since the accident, all our wealth got drained into keeping my mom alive and now she needs to have surgery. I couldn't afford to take
MIAI groaned, opening my eyes as a wave of pain hit me. “Ugh!” I moaned in pain, massaging my temples.My mouth tasted sour and my throat was dry. I desperately needed water. I squinted to see where I was but the place was pitch dark. I reached out to the empty air and the sounds of chains echoed in the dark room. My heartbeat increased as panic gripped my chest. “Hello?! Is anybody out there?” I screamed out loudly. I tried to move and I realized I was confined to a metal place. I was also chained to my wrists and ankles. “Anybody?! Help me! What is going on?” I cried out. The door made a loud creaking sound before the room was flooded with light and my worst fear was confirmed. I was inside a large empty warehouse with different sizes of metal cages but they were all empty. I was in one of the metal cages and I was chained up like an animal. “Good. You’re awake just in time for the final auction.”I blinked as I focused on the petite woman who entered the warehouse. She was
JAVIER“Your voice… you were at the auction,” she sputtered, her eyes widening in fear as she stepped back into the cage. “You don't have to be scared of me, I'm not gonna hurt you,” I coaxed. “No, get away from me!” she shrieked. “I told you we should have busted her out when she was still at the auction place. Now she doesn't trust me!” I snapped at my brother, Ivan who was behind me. “You would have ruined the whole mission. And it was unfortunate we didn't have enough cash to buy her when she arrived,” Ivan sympathized. I scoffed, “You don't understand what it feels like to know that she's terrified of me. I can smell her fear.”“We don't have time for this, Javier, bring her and we will explain to her on the way.”“No! I'm not going anywhere with you guys. I'd rather stay here,” she snapped. “Stay here? He was going to use a hot poker stick on you,” Ivan scoffed. “Don’t talk to her like that, she’s stressed!” I snapped at him. I stared at the terrified girl standing in fr
