Crescent Reflection Chapter Eighteen
Ken, uncle Michael and I had a huge argument about whether it was a good idea for me to go to school or not. I eventually won and Ken was forced to take me to school. That sense of guilt, regret and shame was still eating me up and I couldn’t brush off the feeling. I did something wrong, I knew it. I was not too sure if it was the kiss, or the sad look Derrick went home with that was bothering me, but I knew it had something to do with what happened in my bedroom yesterday. I hopped out of the car and rushed into the school’s building. I was heading for the library because apart from the corridor, the library was the only place I knew Hector was going to be at. I hadn’t even reached halfway to my destination when a hand grabbed my upper arm from behind and pulled me to a different direction. I was tossing into an empty classroom and the door closed shut. It was Hector. “What was that for?” I complained while nursing my sore arm. “I should be asking you that.” I couldn’t get over tha

After school, Ken and I drove to the hospital to see his mother. She was awake when we got there and looked disappointed that we went to school after everything that had happened. She didn’t even have to ask whose idea it was. “Where were you taking us the day of the accident?” I asked her the first question in my mind. She was silent, contemplating her next words.“To a wiccan I knew.” Aunt Courtney confessed.“What!? Why?” Ken scolded.“I knew I wasn’t going to be able to get rid of that pendant so I decided it would be best if a witch did it.” Aunt Courtney explained. “That thing is dangerous, Hermione.”“How is it dangerous?”Aunt Courtney moved up, to sit more comfortably. “Mabel.” She began and I took a seat and paid close attention. “She was obsessed with it. She would hide it away from everyone and used it to hurt people. She was able to harness the power so it could do her bidding. The more she played around with it the younger her skin would look and the more powerful she w

“Wait, so… you accept me?” I asked him just to be sure. “Hermione.” That was the second time he called me by my name. He was staring at me and I thought I was going to drown in those hazel eyes. “There is no other way to solve this.” He looked away and sipped from his straw. “Besides, it would be like taking a candy from a baby. At least for Derrick.” He snorted and I frowned. “So you are only doing this to get to Derrick?” I was crushed. Hector is an ass. Why would he think doing these things is fun? “You the one who thinks I’m hot.” My cheeks burned with undiluted embarrassment. My hair was up in a half ponytail so it wasn’t able to help. “I don’t, and how would you know?” I snapped. He gave me an amused look with one eyebrow arched. Was it a werewolf thing? Hell no! if it was then my thoughts were absolutely not private anymore. I drank my vanilla milkshake and cleared my throat to change the topic. “Mabel is planning something.” “I know.” He said in a monotone. “Oh really?”

“I want my name off the list.” I told the girl with the kinky afro. Her eyes sized me up before she blew her gum and loudly popped it. “You are supposed to come at lunch break not morning, mornings are for the organizers’ meetings.” The hall only had about four people in it if I was excluded. Two were doing splits at the far end and the other two were sitting before me looking uninterested. “Well I’m here now. Might as well just do it.” She gave me a dirty look before she switched on the Tab on her desk and did some annoying clicking with her long fingernails. Her partner beside her was painting hers a neon sky blue. I glanced at the name tags on the desk and the black girl’s name was Britney. Her partner’s name was Joy. “Your name is not on the list.” The gum girl said. I could see her pink gum move in all directions in her open mouth. “I signed up yesterday, check again.” I told her. “Your name is not under any of the main character’s, Hermione.” Britney said before rolling her

“Hermione.” Aunt Courtney had a calm look on her face. “Do you have something to tell us?” I shifted on my seat as Annalise brought mashed potatoes to the dinner table. “I don’t understand.” My heart was skipping important beats and I was afraid I might get struck with a panic attack. Couldn’t she have waited until after dinner? “The school called and informed me that you got a one-month detention.” Aunt Courtney sounded like my mother right there. But mother would have been furious and wouldn’t talk to me until the next day when she would be calm enough to address me. “I can’t say I’m surprised. I saw it coming, I just did not think it would come this soon.” “Courtney, that’s not fair. We did not even get to hear her side of the story.” Uncle Michael tried to reason. “Ok then. Let us hear it.” My mother’s sister encouraged. I cleared my throat then looked at Ken for assistance. “Mom, those girls have been bullying Maya since she entered into that school. She was just defending

Ms. Judith said that we had to wait until the end of the week to know who the characters would be because they wanted the characters to be picked all at once and then the following week we will go ahead with rehearsals. I was just praying they give me a low-key position. She said the students who were not picked will form the dancers and the rest will be fillers that will get small parts in the play. The buzzer sounded and I went to my fourth class. I was walking in the hall when Bree blocked my way. “Just so you know, Hermione. I plan on winning that position, so don’t get in my way.” She sized me up and tossed her hair off her shoulders. “Wow, so you do know my name.” I nodded looking impressed. “Well, I wish you nothing but luck.” I walked pass her to my class because I was not about to get suspended for confronting this girl. “That was amazing.” Derrick said. He was seated behind me in the Math class.“Thank you.”“You will surely get that position.” He commented. I did not re

My heavy eyes blinked open lazily as bright light hit my face. I was disoriented and weak. My arms were tied tight enough to obstruct circulation and my head pounded rhythmically with a throbbing headache. I was too dazed to make out where I was and too weak to focus. What could anyone do if they were tied up with ropes that were attached to the roof?I bent my head to look down at the jewel that failed to alert me fast enough about the danger that already took over. It was still stuck at gray. Not shocking. I looked around me in the room and did not find anyone. The place looked like a slaughter house, with large white plastics for curtains and a steal table in the corner. It reminded me of how a theatre room in hospitals would look like but a lot more… scary. There was a ventilator above and little drops of blood here and there on the curtain.This was a damn slaughter house!My heart started beating fast and I could not hold myself. I knew I was playing with fire when I decided to

We were not driving home. The deformed Harley Quinn girl in the front seat was taking routes that were unfamiliar to me. “Hector?” I called out to him in a breathless whisper. My energy levels were deteriorating faster than a damaged phone battery. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was saying its last goodbyes before heading off to sleep. “Where are we going?” I asked him after I got a hum as a response. “My place.” He told me. His voice was much deeper and louder now that my head was resting on his shoulder. “Why your place?” Ken asked. Ken was not happy that Hector had his arms around me. He tried to protest before we got into the car when Hector wanted to place me by his door then Hector eventually allowed me to sit in the middle between him and Ken to maintain peace. Ken was just being a little too extra. Unnecessarily. “You need to get that thing out of your systems.” Hector said. I wasn’t understanding him so I picked my head up to look at him but it started throbbing

Crescent Reflection Chapter Eighty-One
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
Crescent Reflection Chapter Eighty
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
