“I got you this.” Ken said, after waking me up from my sleep in his car. We were parked in the yard of his mansion. He handed me a small box and I looked at him with my brows furrowed. “What’s in it?” I asked him.“Open it.” I tilted the box and opened it to reveal a phone. A smartphone. The shiny black object looked like it was worth a fortune. “Ken. It’s a phone.” I said like he didn’t already know. “It must’ve cost a lot.” “Not really.” Of course, he would say that. I bet he could buy anything he wanted and not feel a dent in his pocket. “Thank you. It’s really beautiful.” I switched on the device and admired the different pictures that flashed before settling on one image. The image of a landscape. It looked plain, but the colors caught my attention. “I saved my number in there. Mom’s and dad’s is in there as well.” He said and I nodded. I walked into the house still admiring my new gadget when I noticed there were people around the compound. About four people were busy eit
Crescent Reflection Chapter Ten
The rest of the week was quiet, but I knew something was brewing behind the scenes. That toxic, peculiar stench of humiliation was lingering in the air, alerting me. I did not know when I would face that disaster but I knew it was coming… I was accustomed to this familiar feeling in my gut. Last night I sent Derrick a message asking him to give me Eugene’s address. He was a little reluctant however, gave it to me anyways after saying something about us going together. I wasn’t willing to put anyone else’s life at risk. I had to find Eugene myself since this was my call. Early on a Saturday morning, around 7am, I left a note on my bed for Ken to find before sneaking out of the house. The only clumsy thing I did was leave the big gates open since I did not own the remote of it. I managed to order a cab on my phone after many pathetic fails. The person behind the wheel was a lady. She looked around her mid-twenties with a piecing on the side of her nose, close to her upper lip. The litt

My wrists started to burn a little against the restraints and I knew Mabel had a hand in this happening to me. “What is it little wolf?” Mabel feigned concern. Her head tilted to one side curiously as if she did not know what she was doing. I whimpered and moaned as I tried to get my hands free. “Wolf’s bane.” The old lady muttered. Her fingers reached up to her necklace and nails fiddled with the blue diamonds, reflecting sapphire hues my way. “It is a werewolf’s worst enemy. It took a while to work on you because you refused to accept your wolf.” She mentioned. I was now wheezing and turning a dangerous shade of red. I was sweating profusely. My blood was boiling out of control and my energy level was deteriorating. The so called wolf’s bane was burning my wrists like boiling water to the flesh, and sucking all my strength away. “Let me go.” I uttered, breathlessly. She just looked at me like I was worth nothing for her to keep me alive. My eyes blinked very slowly and I knew I w

Hector was so close I could smell the musk scent that got mixed with his sweat. His eyes couldn’t decide on which color to settle on as it switched back and forth from hazel to yellow. They fell on my lips. I sucked in some air to avoid fainting once more. The moon light shone bright above us and I could hear his bones crack. Another loud growl escaped his lips before he collapsed to the ground on all fours. Hector was shifting. I could see some uncomfortable movement happening on his back as if something was ready to tear its way out of there. His hands gathered dirt and gripped it to anchor himself to something. I went down on my knees to see if I could help him. I gently touched his shoulder. His body temperature could burn me. “Hector.” I wasn’t so brave and my voice did not hide that part. He lifted his head slowly to gaze at me and I could see a lot of pain in his eyes. I felt the same, maybe even worse. I didn’t know. I did not know what he was going through. Maybe it was th

“I was kidnapped.” I uttered with my mouth full. Ken made me a sandwich and I took some leftovers from the fridge as well. “What! How?” His eyes could’ve fallen off his face with the look he gave me. My casual demeanor made him look at me weirdly. “By Mabel.”“Grandma Mabel?” He wanted to confirm and I nodded. “I went out to look for my father. I finally got his location, but Mabel had these bulky bodyguards bundle me into a car and drug me.” I said after swallowing. “So how did you get out?” “I wolfed out.” I said whilst staring at his facial expression. He did not react too shocked yet the arching of his eyebrows did indicate that he did not expect the response I gave him. “So wait, you are telling me that your wolf popped and you fought your way out?”“Yeah. I managed to escape the building I was in, but then passed out in the woods.” I said and he frowned. “Then what happened?”“Nothing.” I pressed my lips together whilst trying my very best not to laugh. I did not know what
Crescent Reflection Chapter Fourteen
I got out of the car while having this weird sensation in my stomach. Butterflies in my tummy, I think that’s what they call it. I fixed my dress, took my back pack from the back seat and made my way into the building. The library was where I went first. For some reason I just knew that I would find him there without a doubt. I didn’t know how, but I knew it. Immediately I got there, I looked around, but couldn’t spot him. I scanned the whole library but still couldn’t see him so I decided to kill time by doing my research. All About Werewolves. I clicked the search button and a plethora of information popped up on the screen. This I had to jot down. It said, in the website I picked, that werewolves have lived for hundreds of years. Witches and wizards experimented on the mammals to taunt the Goddess of the moon for fun. The experiments went south when a witch tampered with the werewolf so much that it angered the deity. She sent down two powerful werewolves in the form of humans a

I bang open the bathroom door and stumbled in clumsily, trying to get to the tap. Assuming that if I splashed some water on my face a couple of times I would be fine. It did not work. I was hyperventilating as if struggling to get enough air into my lungs. It was a struggle keeping myself awake and trying not to faint. My pendant had decided it was a good time to flicker in school this morning. And I had a test to write in a couple of hours so how was I going to do this? The bathroom door was pushed open behind me and three girls walked in. Bree and her minions. Perfect timing! “Oh, my. If it isn’t the slut that is keeping my Ken away from me.” She said with a dry chuckle and I rolled my eyes. “You may have skipped the fun stuff we had in store for you on the weekend, but you are definitely not going to skip this.” She said. “Girls!” Her two hideous shadows grabbed an arm each and slammed me against one of the cubical doors. The door burst open sending me flying inside and I hit my
Crescent Reflection Chapter Sixteen
The paramedics arrived thirty minutes later. By then aunt Courtney’s pulse was almost undetectable. We were all taken by them and rushed to the hospital while the police were still scrutinizing the scene. The following events were a blur. The doctors were poking me with needles, asking me questions and saying things that I couldn’t comprehend because of my mind being too flooded with thoughts. They removed my clothes and that was when I finally saw the deep cut on my side. It was probably caused by a piece of glass when the car was summersaulting. “Miss, we need you to lay on your side so we could…” I just nodded and did as I was told. Everything she said next, I was not paying attention. I was worried about aunt Courtney and Ken. I wanted to ask if they were fine, but that would mean asking the nurses for the sixth time since I got to the hospital. All I could think about was how that black car accelerated right into our car. Sending us flying off the road. Screeching, crashing, scr

Dear WolfieIt has been five months since the whole Rosalina ressurecting drama and it hasn't been easy. When I came home that day without Ken aunt Courtney seemed like she already knew what had happened. She cried, and cried and Annalise took her upstairs then gave her some sleeping pills. Annalise excused herself after to cry on her own in her room. I had been too drained to cry anymore. I just needed to sleep the sorrow away.Hector was found by Emilio unconscious in the woods. It took him a day and a half to heal. No one knew what had happened to him and he did not seem like he wanted to talk about it either. I was just glad he was ok.We burried Ken a week later. There was a huge memorial for him in school. Although school had been closed for one month after the eagles had destroyed many parts of it, the principal wasn't as heartless as I thought when a notice had been posted on the school's website about Ken's memorial. The number of girls that cried that day was insane. His fri

We were cutting through the woods, flashing from point A to point B in an unimaginable speed. The animals we passed on the way did not see us coming. Hector stop suddenly making me do the same. I could hear the highway not so far from where we were. Hector's brown wolf sniffed the air and changed directions. When I sniffed the air I smelt another wolf. Emilio.We proceeded with the journey until Hector got tackled halfway by another animal. My first instinct was to murder that thing until I saw who it was.They were not fighting. They were playing. Calm down wolfie, they are just playing. Emilio's light brown and black wolf let go of Hector's dark brown wolf and they had a staring competition. Telepathic communication, I guess. Then Emilio darted and vanished somewhere in the bush, Hector followed then I did. We were heading somewhere unfamiliar but the closer we got the more I could smell a familiar scent.We emerge out of the bush after about 30 minutes of running with Emilio, and

The moon had been concealed by a thick blanket of inky black eagles. The only source of light were the blinking street lamps, some nereby houses and the few light bulbs switched on in the classrooms. However, those too were fading fast as the army of eagles charged in the direction of the hall.The scene outside was no better than the one inside. Many people were gruesomely injured and cried out for help as they struggled to make it out of the school. The police sirens could be heard from a distance yet I was not too sure if they were coming or not. They must have been held back by the eagles as a barrier was being formed using their large bodies around the school's perimeter. Mabel was blocking me from escaping this place."Hermione!" I turned around and saw Ken carrying a body out the exit. I swallowed hard at the sight and did my best to search for a heart beat. Penetrating through the loud noise around me, I couldn't hear much so I ran to give Ken a hand. It was Duke. He was badl

I’ve always been a loner. All my life, I thought no one needed to come near me, not even my mother. As much as I wanted her around me all the time, I had to keep her at a distance… mentally and emotionally. I was different. I knew it. it did not take being extremely angry at Ken and hurting him to know… It did not take me running into Hector, or shifting, or kicking my grandmother’s ass, or discovering my mother’s pendant in her forever locked bedroom, or uniting with my father or any of the other weird things that has happened in these past couple of months that I still can’t decipher or explain to anyone without being called delulu. No, none of that.The problem was in my blood. Being pumped from my heart and rushing to cascade down my body. The warm liquid burning under my skin, reminding me that I am still human…. more than human. I could see the difference in my eyes. I could feel it in the palms of my hands. I could’ve ignored this about myself for a very long time howeverI kn

Refreshments we being served in the hall and the players went out to change. I overheard some students talking about an after party at Chris’ house. Hector went out in a hurry to make a call in the parking lot since the speakers were blasting music from the nineties in the hall. I was standing close to the exit, watching as students rushed in and out of the hall while parents and teachers congratulated each other on the outstanding performance of the team. My eyes scanned the crowd until they settled on Derrick who gave me a smile. I returned it as he walked towards me and handed me a cup with juice in it. My senses were tingling from how sweet in smelt. “Hey. Where is the grumpy one?” He asked. I chuckled at how he referred to my boyfriend as ‘grumpy’. It was no secret any way. My boyfriend was not approachable. “He went out to take a call.” I explained before taking a sip from the cold beverage. “We won.” He exclaimed as if it was my first time hearing it. I chuckled again and no

The game had started and we were a few minutes late. Nothing much had happened. I got to the bleachers and sat at the lowest seats with Hector. I did not know where Aunt Courtney and Annalise were seated but I wasn’t going to sit with them when my boyfriend was here.“I don’t really understand this game.” Hector chuckled lightly at this revelation. I was not a sport person so this game was foreign to me.“Don’t worry, the reaction of the crowd will tell you what’s going on.” He simply said.I spotted Ken with his number 5 printed at the back of his outfit. I could make out a lot of our school players with my enhanced sight. I could also almost see everything so clearly; like the sweat pouring down the faces of the players… Their facial expressions. The Golden Falcons were dressed in black, white and gold. They looked huge and I was worried because in this game it seemed that weight was an important factor that players could use to their advantage.I pulled out my phone when a notifica

Ken and I rushed back home to find Aunt Courtney already dressed for the occasion with A blue t-shirt written ‘team Blue River’ and blue skinny jeans with white running shoes. Her fuzzy curls were up in a messy bun and she had a black baseball cap on. Yep, she was definitely ready for this game. “Kenny...” She said with a wide smile. Oh dear… “Quickly, have something to eat then take a long refreshing bath. Your team would want to see you ready and hyped for this match. You are going to win tonight.” I turned from Ken to Courtney then snorted before leaving. “Oh, Hermione… You do the same. We need to fix that hair of yours.” Courtney said. The look she had on her face did not look impressed when she mentioned my hair. I touched my ginger locks thinking there was something on it. I did not see anything wrong with my hair. On the contrary, it was the healthiest it has ever been. Since I started living with Aunt Courtney, I have been exposed expensive hair products that helped my hair
Crescent Reflection Chapter Seventy-Four
“You so annoying, you know that?” I let my grandmother know while running out of breath. Her form inched forward and I was itching to slap her. I did have some fear for her because she was dangerous and unpredictable but I was going to put my fear for her aside and face her one on one. “Hermione! The pendant!” She demanded and I swallowed hard. Her voice was deep and husky, curtesy of the black smelly smoke. I moved away from her while she continued to inch forward. The stench released by the dark clouds was making me very dizzy to the point of losing my sight. I jumped to my feet when I had regained the energy I was stalling for, then pounced for the switch but again I had missed it. Her does one fight smoke? When it grabbed my ankles for the second time I had tried releasing myself from the iron grip but my hands just kept going through the smoke as if it wasn’t being held by anything. “Hermione. Why do you have to be as stubborn as your damn dead mother!” Mabel shrieked. I was th
Crescent Reflection Chapter Seventy-Three
After school, Hector and I hurried back home with Ken. Mabel was closer than ever before and we had a limited number of days left since she decided that she was going to go about looking for the pendant in her own little way without physically being here. We all rushed to my bedroom because right now it felt like the safest place since I recently pulled out another blue rose. We had a few things to do and I was getting more and more anxious. The dead will rise if this does not work out and a lot of innocent lives will be lost. “Hermione?” “Maya?” Ken shook me out of my thoughts and I blinked at the both of them a couple of times to properly focus. “Yeah? I’m fine. You were saying?” “Hellen.” Hector exhaled. He seemed a bit exhausted judging from his tired looking eyes. “We managed to get a hold of someone who knows her. He uncle. He came over and spoke to Emilio, but refused to take her, stating that there was a reason we found and rescued her. She needed to be here fighting Mabel
