Daughter of the Damned Awakening
Mira's POV" Ok cool. I get it that these three are ... gifted aliens... but me? What about me? I don't have anything special about me. "Uncle Kilian, as he claimed to be, burst out into a hilarious laughter. " Nothing special about you my girl? You have no idea who you are... Ok, let me give you a quick demo.. who is your closest one amongst these three? "I am sure the College Entrance exams had easier questions than this. What was my answer supposed to be? " Never mind, anyone will do... "He tossed Kian and Xen on either wall with what seemed like a rope made of light that automatically tied them up. He pinned the Watcher guy on the floor with something similar and flung me far away from them and hung me upside down . " Try to stop me if you can Mira... " He turned towards Braze, who was all alone, crouched on the ground. " No hard feelings boy but this has to be done, " I don't know what I was excepting but I wasn't prepared at all for what actually happened. Kilian, my uncl
Daughter of the Damned Empathy
Mira's POV" Mira, hurry up... I can hear a chopper near by. It must be here to save up. "Xen was carrying Braze on his back and Kian was hanging from the wall as he peered outside, trying to look for a way out. I looked hesitantly behind as the unconscious Watcher. The heat that I had created was too much for people like us. It must have taken a toll on him as well. It felt bad leaving him behind in that state. " Should we not get him out of here at least? " I asked with shy eyes because I knew it was already difficult trying to make our way out. " You got a death wish or what, Mira? I am doing him a favour, by not killing him. You want to give him a piggy back ride outside so he can take us all to his torture chambers? No thanks. Did you not hear anything that your uncle said? "It was difficult countering him but I found my way around anyways. We pulled him out of that rabbit hole and placed him at the mouth of the cave before we left. It was Kian's grandfather who was leadin
Daughter of the Damned School got more happening
The next few days were not that eventful. Most of the kids in their class skipped school. They were given respite. Braze was missing and so was Kian and Betty.Mira didn't feel like texting or calling them. She casually attended class and went back to her room, ticking days off the calendar before she had to pack her bags and leave. She tried calling her mother several times but she didn't answer. She called the caterer in their area to ask if everything at home was alright but they said that they hadn't seen her mother for many days. She would have been worried to death at such news but in the light of recent events everything appeared normal. And then she received a mail -'Stay where you are or go anywhere else. Do whatever you have to do but do not come back home. It's no longer safe. I am sorry that I couldn't muster up the courage to tell you everything about your birth. The little time that I had with you , my baby girl, was too perfect. I didn't want to ruin your innocence
Daughter of the Damned Trepidation
At Chemora-Kilian sprang out of that tub holding his chest and throat. Sitara rubbed his back as he coughed blood on the floor. The colour of the liquid in that tub had just changed to turquoise as Kilian reappeared. " Breathe... " Sitara instructed , hitting the back of his lungs. Kilian struggled for several minutes before finally letting out a very loud gasp and collapsing on the floor . Sitara carried him to bed.Put him down and then pulled his hands and legs up of it as well. She administered several injections after which Kilian's breath finally normalised and he slowly opened his eyes. " Thank you... " his voice was hoarse as he pressed Sitara's arm in appreciation. Sitara looked away and pretended to organize the syringes. " It's good to see you come back alive... " Then she turned at him and asked, " how did it go? "" They believe me. " Kilian smiled. " I finally got to see the girl for whom I had to leave my wife behind... my pregnant wife... I didn't even know th
Daughter of the Damned Not Alone
Mira literally sprang out of the window as soon as the teacher left after the period. She sprinted straight to the office and surely in front of it stood Braze, Kian and Xen laughing and whispering. She breathed hard trying to restrain herself, hoping not to set the entire building ablaze. " What do you think you guys are doing? There's a Watcher inside the school. Perhaps more than one. "" Mira, relax. Meet my new cousin. " Braze pointed at Xen as he bowed. " Mira, we found everything out. He doesn't recall anything." Kian tried to explain. " How can you guys be so casual? Can this not be a trap? Men are so simple headed. "The three of them looked at her as if she had just stabbed their hearts with a dagger. Mira walked away after shoving her way from the middle of them. " Don't you think she is over reacting? " Xen asked. " Something is bothering her. " Kian put in. " There's no way she is going to tell me. " Braze smiled. A sad smile, full of pain. Kian gave his shoulde
Daughter of the Damned The other connections.
" Let's go to Layla. She will give you some pills to relax. You need to sleep if you want to function properly. You can't just let another panic attack set in. "Robert hated doctors. It was a reflection of their unbothered attitude towards his problems. Most dismissed his physical ailments as mental issues and referred to psychologists. They could be of no help either because he could not share his secrets with them. Layla was an exception. She was a vet. She believed in divination,believed in the paranormal and most importantly, was always attentive to Robert's needs. Oh, I forgot to mention, she was also Quill's ex-girlfriend. Quill missed her terribly though she had already moved on. He always found issues with Robert just to go see her and spend a few more minutes watching her talk. They went to her hospital with prior notification so they had to wait. " My goodness. Robert! It has been quite long...Hasn't it?Come inside. " She called them inside her chamber the moment she arr
Daughter of the Damned Decision
" What happened to her mother? Why didn't she tell me? " Braze was about to push Kian aside and rush out of the empty amphitheater but Kian pulled him back by his collar. " Probably the primary reason being that you might react like this... I shared this only because I wanted us to find a way out of this for her... not bombard her with more questions... she's disturbed.... we all are... we are still trying to adapt with our physiological changes... it surely will be difficult to handle emotional ones... "Kian was able to forcefully make Braze sit on a chair. " What are you suggesting? " he finally asked calming down a little bit. " She said she couldn't go back to her old home... " Kian began, " she is still a student. She needs to study. She is already in a school. Why would she need to go someplace else? Can't she stay here? Just like she is at the moment. "Their eyes met in a clash. " You want her to become a regular at Pamora High? Have you no clue about it's tuition? Oh, I
Daughter of the Damned Similarities...
Braze's phone vibrated in his pocket as he angrily strutted out of the amphitheater. He pulled it out, very annoyed, because it won't stop buzzing even after trying to switch it off for a few times with his finger inside the pocket. His eyebrows narrowed as he saw the name. It was the lady vet. " Hello... " He immediately put his air pods on, thrusting the phone back inside his pocket again. " Oh, Hi Braze! How are you doing? " She asked. " All good. Thank you... and you? " " Good good. All good. Umm... I called to share very important news. I think I have been able to draw some similarities between your conditions and an old patient... I was just checking his blood behavior when it struck me how similar it was to yours. I can't give you all the details over the phone. Can you please come down to my office? " She asked. " Now. Right now? " Braze looked at his watch. It was way past school time. The campus was deserted. It was well past afternoon. Layla returned to her files. She

Several Years Later At Chemora -"Baba! Baba! Who is that girl? Why does she have a star over her head! ""Sssshhhh! " The little girl asking the question was instantly hushed. " Don't you know dear that we don't talk about her? Not in the night. No, my little darling. Never. I will tell you all about her in the morning. Alright? "But the little girl looked very angry at her mother. " But why mother, was she not the one who brought peace and tranquility over our planet? " Her tiny voice was fierce and strong. The woman quickly pulled the blinds around her place and closed her windows. The little girl had been looking at a statue at the Central Square. It was snowing in Chemora and the snow made the star above her head absolutely white. " I will tell you the story. I will tell you the story again. But not during the hours of the darkness, my little angel. It is not safe. You know what's going on. " The mother begged. Almost terrified. " Alright. I will wait till the sunrise. Yo
Daughter of the Damned Birth of star
Braze had his eyes glued on the telescope There was something happening amongst the stars. Something that he had been anticipating but could not really fathom. He was yet to complete his research papers. They were due for submission within a month . He has been lost in stargazing lately. Particularly gazing at a distant star. His phone rang breaking his undivided concentration. " You must come over at the observatory , Braze. Something phenomenal is happening with your star. You cannot miss it. The telescope at your place is not strong enough to capture this miracle. " What is it? "Braze asked as his breath picked up pace. Even though he could not properly see what was happening, he knew something was different about his star that day. Braze hit the brake hard as the voice from the other end hung up after telling him that, " It was the birth of a star. "***From the depths of the cosmic cradle, a celestial ballet unfolds as if orchestrated by unseen hands. Through the lens
Daughter of the Damned Start of a New Dawn
" It's time to say our goodbyes, my sweethearts. Let's meet again in the next life. "The boys opened their eyes as they sat up with a jolt. They were under the stars. There was darkness everywhere around them. They were on top of the highest peak around. Their clothes were around as they sat there and looked up at the twinkling wonders above their heads. A particularly bright star shone so bright that it made every around them as clear as the moonlight. They looked at each other and then they looked up above. They could not understand what they were doing. They immediately ran towards their clothes when the realisation of their n*kedness finally hit them. " Do we know each other? "One of them asked as the others looked at him with more confusion. " I think we do. Are we waiting for someone? " Another one asked. " I think we are here because of that. " The third one pointed at the Southern Star. " My knights! "They turned around as they heard a voice. " That's her. She i
Daughter of the Damned Mating in the Stars
" Why are we back here? "Xen called out in astonishment as they found themselves inside the enclosure from where they had retrieved the Heartstaff. " Hello boys! Hi Mira! Thank goodness, you didn't keep me waiting. "Razzak's voice startled them. "Why is she here? " They asked in unison immediately coming in front of Mira like a shield. Razzak laughed as she shoved them to the side and went ahead and hugged Mira, who reciprocated the action with a smile. " Thank you for giving my memories back. "Mira was looking extremely refreshed and strong. The fear and unease that was darkening her face was gone. " You don't need to thank me. I took my chance. I always wanted to know more about you. Stella made it possible. I went against my ancestors in stealing that stone for you. I but all my eggs in your basket Mira. And I am glad that I did. "She smiled. " I will leave the rest to you. I think you might need some privacy. "She hugged Mira once more and winked, before leaving. " Wha
Daughter of the Damned The final countdown
" So you figured a way around, huh? Do you think the power of the Heartstaff can keep me away? It literally runs in my veins as well. "Mira was in the centre and the boys were around her. She clung to her father, scared, afraid, unable to understand why the universe turned so violent ? And it seemed like it all revolved around her. " Attack! " One blow after another sent tremors all around as the boys fought hard to maintain their defense. Even with their collective effort, it was difficult for them to counter so many successive attacks. " Mira, you can end this! " Kilian yelled from the other side. " All that I ask from you is to come back with me. Everything can be like it used to be. Just come back to me Mira. "Mira grabbed her father's shirt tighter as one blast sent Kian reeling behind. Calex kissed Mira on her forehead, " Always listen to your heart. " And without another word, he darted off towards the Kakarian formation. " You fool! " Kilian personally sent one blast af
Daughter of the Damned Scattered incidents
Earth had become a ragging battle field. There was news about random blasts and terrorist attacks all over the news. There was a frenzy everywhere as people ran indoors to hide inside their homes and basements. The Watcher Headquarters was going crazy, trying to handle calls from all the Presidents and Prime Ministers. It was true that they were answerable but the situation had blown out of proportion. They had no other choice than to call back their very best. Rozelle, George and Robert, walked back in the building, matching their steps. "Never thought that I would be back in business! " George stretched as the humanoids greeted them with coffee mugs. " Who would have thought that Gala had developed such a wonderful anecdote. She is talented, isn't she? " Rozelle read Robert's expression closely as she asked the question. Robert knew that he was in a tricky situation. He had to praise Layla for her credibility but he had to do so without making his lover jealous. " Life, my d
Daughter of the Damned Their power in their unity
" Why did we stop here? We should be running. This place is not very far from Guardian Yvonne's place. Kilian can catch up at any moment. "Xen yelled, paranoid. " Wait! Martha is relaying a message. We wouldn't get it if we crossed this perimeter. Ssshhh! Listen carefully, it's Yvonne. Is he... is he talking with Kilian? "Calex looked concerned. There was absolute silence as they listened to their conversation carefully with the help of the connection that Martha had created -" There was a time when I used to admire my sister. I used to look up to her. But then they began to shower unnecessary praises on her while all she did was sneak out to meet with men. Like I didn't know what she was doing in the name of training for strength. "" What rubbish! Kiara never saw any men apart from Calex.And your tribe ostracized her for that. " Yvonne tried to counter Kilian's claim. " She did a lot more than that. I saw her myself with Netera... "" You cannot be serious.... " Yvonne fumed
Daughter of the Damned Kilian
" We will talk about this when you get back! " Kian's mother had just left when the front door almost blasted open. " He is coming. Where is Mira?"It was Xen. It seemed like he had run a million miles but he went straight for her, scooping her off the ground and kissing her in front of them all. " We need to get her out of here. Kilian is on his way. He is coming with his army. "Xen turned around at Braze and Kian, as if nothing had happened." How did you know that we were here? "" How does Kilian know? "Came the dual accusation. Xen signed and slowly unbuttoned his shirt and pointed towards his chest. " I did not know that we could still use this but when Kilian was chasing after my ship and wrecked it into half, my instinct kicked in. I could feel the two of you. And the power of the Staff manifested from my chest. "Xen pounced over the two of them and grabbed them into a bear hug with both his hands. " I missed you both! "His words came out of nowhere. " So it was you
Daughter of the Damned Moving forward
They had been sitting beside each other for hours but neither had been talking. Finally Calex took the initiative to break the ice. " I am sure you father would understand. "Braze was startled by his statement. " Love makes us do all sorts for stupid things, " Calex continued as Braze looked at him with confused eyes. " I hope you are not being too hard on yourself. Guilt is a very dangerous weapon. It keeps cutting you from the inside while nobody get to know how you are exactly feeling. " He tried to smile at Braze and that definitely made Braze feel more awkward. " You know, I used to love Kiara, Mira's mother, just like you love Mira. " Braze could tell that he was putting real effort into that conversation. His voice was shaky and his eyes were turning red as he spoke. The topic was sensitive, yet he was willing to make things clear. Guardian Yvonne had gone to look for Kian and the Marine Queen while Mira was sleeping in her room. " I was in love with Kiara before I was
