Enjoy. <3
My breath hitched once Ken and Tiffany sauntered into the café. The air was freezing, proving that the weather still hadn’t recovered from what happened on the full moon. I was wearing a pink jersey while Hector wore his signature black hoodie. We watched with interest as Ken spoke to the lady having her drink before sitting down opposite her. Tiffany had her phone out. She clicked on it then placed it on the table. Almost immediately she placed it on the table I got a notification on my phone. Tiffany: She’s not human. “Whoa!” I frowned. As I tried to understand this statement more clearly. “What is it?” Hector asked me and I showed him what Tiffany sent me. His eyes darted from the phone then back at the trio inside Kimberly’s Café. “How is that possible?” I was asking myself the same question. “Does it mean that everyone we come across isn’t exactly human now?” I asked Hector. He did not reply. His mind was sieving the answers out. I looked back inside the café. Ken was orderi
“You are running out of time, you know?” Sofia told me. Her restless demeanor proved that my stubbornness to comply with her demands were agitating her. Her hair was flowing down her back in soft curls and the dress she wore looked like it was going to suffocate her very soon. I don’t even understand these huge medieval outfits that literally weigh more than the actual person wearing them. They looked good, only for plays like Daniella. “If you need your spell book so badly why don’t you just go and get it yourself? Oh wait, you can’t.” I snorted. We were both standing under the cloudy sky and she looked like she wanted to pace around, if not for the weight she was walking around with. No matter what, I was not going to bend to her will. I had a choice to either do it or not do and I was choosing not to do it. Now that she was in my personal peaceful space, I couldn’t breathe or relax anymore. She was contaminating my area with her presence. “Why are you being so stubborn?” She snap
All fingers in all shapes and forms pointed to Bree and her gang of ghouls. I was empty inside the whole night I couldn’t even be joyful at aunt Courtney’s efforts that proved she was almost back on track. I had a dreamless sleep last night despite my hopes of being transported to that place of peace and unite with the animal that was said to be a folktale and a figment of one’s imagination. I dragged my heavy head off the pillows in the morning, to aimlessly direct myself to the bathroom. After my usual hygiene routine, I was mostly awake now. It was Thursday and I was in the mood to be smashed back to my senses since I was carelessly allowing crackheads shit on me. I wore black fishnet stockings under a tight black leather skirt, and tucked my long sleeve, high neck black bodysuit under it. I wore black high heel boots and styled my hair into a high ponytail after inserting studs on my earlobe holes. I applied eyeliner on and grabbed my school bag. If I should say so myself, I looke
Hector: We wont b able 2 use Jane’s car anymr Me: Because we desecrated it? Hector: Shl hv a heart attack once she finds out wat we hv been up 2 Flipping to rest on my back on the comforter, I laughed out loud at this. Me: It’s all your fault Mr. Lopez Hector: Our fault. U hv 2 take d blame as well. Me: I’m not taking anything. Hector: Oh, I see I ddnt mold u enough this afternoon. There’s always another day. Me: Try your luck. I was daring him and I knew he liked the challenge. What I did today shocked me so much. I had never thought I would actually be able to make Hector feel that way. I shocked myself more than I shocked him. “That was so good.” He had said. It was quite rare hearing him comment on anything, but the fact that he did really boosted my confidence. I probably wouldn’t have given him a second blow job if he hadn’t. Hector: On a srs note. We wont be able 2 use her car becoz I’ve been paying 4 fuel. So now dat I dnt hv a job 4 d time being, I cnt pay 4 fuel.
Hector was away for the morning. Ken, Tiffany and I were at home sipping soda and guessing the many possible things Sam was. “What if she’s some secret FBI, CIA agent or some high profile person looking for werewolves and other kinds or mystical creatures?” Tiffany offered. I rolled my eyes at that. “She just turned 20.” Sam seemed too young to fit that kind of a job. “Mmmh, Maya has a point.” Ken agreed. “Babe, you are supposed to be on my side.” Tiffany scolded with a pout. “Oh, uh… she has a point, but your idea is possible. She could be the youngest recruit.” Ken said, hoping that would get him back on his girlfriend’s good side. She smiled up at him from his lap and he stroked her hair. “Gosh, I would be worse than blind if I walked into school and did not know that you two were dating, hell no. There has to be someone who sees the signs or suspects something.” Ken looked down at Tiffany with admiration. She probably never thought she could win the school’s star boy, like e
The rest of the weekend went by in a blur. I’ve been in the library studying and getting to know more about other creatures from Ken’s book of mystical creatures. I still hadn’t reached on one that best describes Sam but I guess she would tell us what she was soon. In school on Monday I decided to give Derrick his space. We only spoke to each other as Luther and Daniella which was kind of awkward but I have learnt to master my feelings as best I could. Hector and I now make the very most of our weekdays since weekends he would be very busy and won’t even have a chance to text. I was so happy for him and he looked different, like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. I guess his old job really had a toll on him. He said after getting his first pay, we would be able to use Jane’s car again. Sessions with Mrs. Pierce have been cut down, thankfully. Seeing her every single day was punishment enough. As we got closer and closer to the day of performing Daniella, Ms. Judith becam
Aunt Courtney had a powerful weapon that could trap a witch or witches all this while! We could’ve used it on Mabel a long time ago. Maybe Mom would still be alive and we would be enjoying life peacefully without my evil witch of a grandmother by now. I had asked Courtney why it took so long to bring this up and show it to us and why was she pulling it out now. She claimed to know that Mabel was planning to do something despicable this time around and needed to trap her since the whole town had had enough of her and before things got so out of hand that we wouldn’t be able to reverse it I guess that was a good enough reason but the old hag had been doing despicable things even before Courtney’s older sister was born. Courtney handed the box to me and said I might have an idea on what to do with it but it had to be used on that woman. It will take away her powers and make her more human than witch. Which I’m guessing will remove whatever has been making her look so young all these yea
"Come Hermione. Five, six, seven, eight." Ms. Judith encouraged. I was sweating like a pig by now. The stage was the hottest place to be right now and I had a headache before coming here. I don't know how much energy Ms. Judith thought we all had, but it couldn't be as much as she thought it was.I bent over to catch my breath. I could do with a cold shower right now. "Ok, alright. Take five. But no leaving the school"tThat was my opportunity to sprint out to the taps. I got there and drank enough water to last me a couple more hours then took a different route. I had planned to do this since last night, but wasn't sure how. Now I think I was one hundred percent sure. I went towards the direction of the principle's office. The doors were all locked and the cameras were pointed directly at me. I couldn't do it. I wasn't even sure how many times a week or how many times a month they checked the footages. I had to come another time.I walked out and went back to the hall. The dim lig
Dear Wolfie It 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 f
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
“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
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
