Simon went into his room and shut the door behind him. He took off his coat and put it aside before walking to stand in front of the mirror that was attached to the wall. His eyes burned red, exposing his fury and he clenched his hands into a tight fist before bringing one to punch the mirror which shattered and cut his skin. He retraced his hand back to now fall on his side and he looked at the multiple reflections of himself in the mirror.The door soon opened and in walked Sapphire who moved delicately as she watched him. Simon moved away from the mirror to now turn to his bed where he picked a cloth and started to fold it aside.“You made the right decision,” Sapphire said from where she stood, but Simon continued what he was doing. She continued, “Simone needed to be taught a lesson. Her punishment will serve as an example to others. Family means nothing if all they do is betray. This is your chance to prove to the Elders that you are capable of leading the Coven. You should star
Simon heard the closing of the door after which his mother, along with his uncle had been dragged out of the inner circle and everything around him seem to slow down. He stood there, reflecting on it all, and then he looked at Elder Samuel when he said to him;“Simone committed a grave sin this time. How are you going to deal with her?”Before they would start having doubts, he replied, “I will punish them accordingly.” He was not only talking about Simone here. After saying that, he looked at sapphire with his side eye before turning and heading towards the door. He walked out of it and blinked several times, wondering how it all started and where it all went wrong. As he walked in the corridor, he started to hear footsteps behind him and he suddenly stopped. Sapphire also stopped walking at the back and she was about to speak when she was suddenly felt her back being hit against the wall and being pinned there with a hand gripping her neck tightly, almost choking her. She saw Simon,
Bryon pinned Klaus down in the deepest part of the woods where he knows no one would see or hear them. His hand was on his neck, squeezing and when Klaus tried to retaliate, he used his other hand to hit him hard on the face and Klaus eyes widen in shock as he moved his eyes back to look at Bryon who looked angrily at him. He finally let go of his neck and stood up, grunting in frustration, but Klaus still laid there, feeling the hit from him.“If you are back to your senses let me know,” Bryon said to him. “Did you think I would not know what you were planning? Every minute that passed while you were inside, I was only thinking something would happen and you would get killed for it.”Klaus hardened his face and then got to his feet. He dusted his cloth and looked at him. “So what if I get killed? Why do you care? You didn’t care when Ron died. You did nothing. I am the one bold enough to do something while you sit back in the hands of that monster.”“Is that why you are upset? Is tha
Kyra grew into a young, fearless and beautiful lady. She was slowly starting to get the features of her mother and one could easily see the resemblance in her. It made the women of the village see her as a threat again, just like how they saw her mother when she was still alive. They thought that her mother must have returned and is now using her daughter to scare them by making them believe she has come to collect their men again, because already, the men there talks shamelessly about Kyra and how they want to have a chance with her.Kyra on the other hand didn’t seem to be bothered about what the people say, instead, she just fix her eyes ahead of her and pretend like she didn’t hear that they were talking about her. She care less about what they were saying about her. She finally learnt and understood why her mother would always put on a proud face and walk around, not caring about how they insulted her. It was what made her strong, and what scared them.She walked on the very grou
Kyra stood in front of her old house that looked as though it had been abandoned, but it has, and even at that, she doesn’t seem to think of it that way. Every time she sees it, her heart always pulls towards it and she remember her mother, she remembers everything they shared together, everything she taught her. Her brows suddenly pulled and she walked towards the door before pushing it open.Bathilda raised her eyes up from what she was doing and when she saw Kyra, she quickly tried to explain, but before she would speak a word, Kyra already got to where she was and she threw her in the tiny room, sending her crashing to the wall. She already warned her to stay away from the house.There was a loud crash and before Bathilda would stand to her feet, Kyra was already crouching in front of her and she had her fingers digging into her chest. Bathilda stayed like that and she saw how Kyra’s eyes lit in anger. She knew that if she moved a bit, she could die, but it was not as if she could
“Kyra,” Padma called and shook her body to wake up. Kyra was gasping every time she breathed and her eyes were wide open, but she won’t respond and Padma didn’t know if she could see that she was in front of her.“Kyra,” she called again, this time, more louder and she shook her shoulders.Kyra’s eyes constricted and she let out a loud gasp which seem to have brought her back to reality and she blinked immediately before raising her eyes to look at Padma who held her.Padma could see the fear in her eyes and how she moved it frantically to study the environment she was in. Kyra looked around the now disorganized room and then realized that it was morning because the candles had been blown out and light now entered through the window and the holes in the door.“Are you okay?” Padma asked her but Kyra was still trying to process everything.How was it morning already? She thought. she had only had that thing happen to her barely a moment ago and it had taken her into a different dimensi
Sage swallowed immediately he revealed his face to them and he looked at their eyes to see their expression. Being a vampire now, he couldn’t really say if humans would see him as normal or think he was weird, and it bothers him a little as he stood there.“Oh my! He’s handsome,” a woman whispered to her fellow woman at the back and they stare at him in wonderment.Suddenly, Sage could see the excitement in their eyes and few even wanted to touch him where he had to move back a bit.He smiled and said, “I’m sorry, I have to leave very soon, but I’ll like to take someone along with me. I have been searching for her for years and I was made to know she lives here. If you would please, tell me where this lady is.” He brought out the piece of cloth and unwrap it before showing it to them.There wasn’t enough time anymore. He had only managed to get to Cinderville as early as possible and he knew the others would be here anytime soon so before that happens, he has to leave with the Chosen
Sage, in the moment of desperation, went ahead with his search and asking people if they knew who the person in the drawing is, until when he came across a man who seem to be interested in it and in what he was saying.“Wow, she still looks as good as before even in the drawing,” Martinez said and then looked up at Sage. “Who did you say you are again?”Sage tried not to sound strange so he won’t scare him away but even at that, he couldn't come up with anything other than, "I'm... uh... a historian." He tried to sound as normal as possible. "I'm researching a project and I stumbled upon this drawing. I'm trying to find out who this person is and what her story is. I heard she lives here and I am hoping to meet her."Martinez raised an eyebrow. "A historian, huh?" Historians were not common and he looked at the young man very well. He knew that if he could be of any help, his name could be written in history books and people in the near future would know about him. "Well," he said, "I
Present day…Every morning when it’s not the weekend, the house is always on heat mode. There is the TV playing, footsteps running from one place to another and music blaring out from a stereo in one of the rooms. Noises everywhere.Amber dashed out of the kitchen, pulling off her apron and carrying with her a lunchbox which was already packed. She rushed to the dining table and placed it aside before dishing out food from the pot she brought to the table earlier. Her eyes darted to the TV and she saw the news that was being displayed. It was yet another sad death and the cause unknown.“This doesn’t seem to end,” she muttered to herself and shook her head sadly.Turning her eyes away from the Tv, she moved her eyes towards one of the rooms, the one that belonged to her daughter and she shouted on top of her voice so her daughter would hear;“Renee! Get out here now! You are going to be late for school. Again! And turn off that damn stereo!”“I’m almost done! Give me a minute mom!” Re
Three days after, Aiden and the rest of the people had stayed back at Athens and are making preparations for the sacrifice which Kyra said they should prepare for before passing out on the field after the rift closed up and the black clouds cleared from the sky. Every one of them who accepted the prophecy and the Chosen One all stayed in Athens and prepared for the sacrifice as they all waited for her to wake up. Sage had been by her side during those three days, watching her and trying to understand how she must have felt after she woke up from her deep sleep. Bathilda had explained what happened while he was being held as a prisoner by his own people, but now, there was nothing like that anymore. No one belonged to a coven. They are all One.Kyra slowly opened her eyes and saw a figure standing over her and looking down at her. It was blurry at first and she called softly, “Sage.”“Oh sorry. I sneaked in after he left. Did you finally wake up?”Kyra blinked her eyes again and saw th
As they all waited for Kyra to say something, Kyle knew his coven all looked up to him now and this could be his chance to prove in front of everyone that he was the one they needed. If he killed the Chosen One now and in front of everyone, he could easily take over Athens and control all the other covens. He would build his own council where they would take orders from him and be brought for punishment if they went against him. This thought brought him an inner excitement and with that, he stepped out from the crowd.All eyes were on him and they all seem to want to know what he wanted to do as none of them was brave enough to step forward. He was even surprised when no one opposed him and it gave him more confidence. His lips twisted in a confident smirk. "So, the death warrior finally shows herself,” he said. “I thought Sapphire killed you. How are you still alive?”Kyra stood calm amid the storm that was slowly brooding inside of her and her hand gripped the ancient sword. “This i
The guards that were outside the building of Athens, who were guarding the place from any intruders, soon became distracted by a brighter light they saw ahead of them, up in the sky. It looked like a blazing sun and it was heading directly towards them.“I think…the sun is about to fall,” one of them said and the others watched on, until they saw that it was closing in on them. Not having the time to take cover, they cowered and shield their faces with their hands and they expected to feel a burn on their skin, but instead of that, they heard a loud thud that shook the ground beneath them.Meanwhile, in Arkadia, the vampires were busy making plans on how they would attack Polis before the Silver Crest Coven would, and how they would capture the chosen one and kill her once and for all. Meera had brought Kevin to the coven, hoping to use him against Kyra who people speak so highly of and one that should be feared, but she was determined to kill her with her own hands. She vowed to make
Kyra slowly opened her eyes and she stared up at the ceiling for a long time. Her white skin was starting to return back to its original color and in a matter of seconds, it regained life once again. She raised her upper body and sat upright, her hands holding either sides of the hard stone where she laid and she buried her head down, her hairs falling over.She knew a lot had changed. The vampires were all back and she was being hunted again by them. Also, the world she knew of had also changed. Even Pollypel was no longer called like that anymore. It is now Polis.The events that happened in the past days suddenly came back to her and she knew she was staked by Sapphire who disguised herself using her shape-shifting technique. It was how she killed Sage in that war and he had thought she was the one.Revisiting the past as if she had really gone back and lived that life all over again felt like she had been out for years. She felt she had died and returned to life, but in a new form
Sage had just finished killing the last vampire left and he saw Kyra at the front coming towards him. it seems she had managed to kill Kyle and now, they were the only two left. The battle was over, he thought. As Kyra came to him, she embraced him and he embraced her back. Even though this was the end, they were still together, but as he was embracing her, he suddenly felt her push something into him and he let out a gasp before pushing her body away and he looked down at his own chest to see that she had just staked him with a sword. But why? He thought and the looked at her with pain in his eyes. Her eyes held no emotions or remorse. It was as if she had been waiting for this moment to get rid of him, but why would she do that to him, he thought again as his body fell to the ground and his vision became blurry.Kyra got to the scene and she saw someone standing with Sage. That was before she saw his body fall to the ground and she screamed his name;“SAGE!”But Sage didn’t hear her
Kyra led her people to war. It was one that would never be forgotten, and one that no one would live to tell…Few hours before the war started, Kyra walked to the mountain and met with Jade. They both sat down there in silence and just staring at the horizon.“It’s going to be soon,” Kyra said to him. “I can feel it.”Jade looked at her, knowing what she meant, and Kyra looked at him and asked;“Is there anything you want to say to me?”Jade pulled the corner of his lips into a smile and said, “I wish you would have asked me before now.” Jade knew even if he said what was on his mind, it was already too late. And he said to her, “I thought you would know.”But Kyra understood what he was saying, and yet, she pretended not to know.They sat there in a long silence and as they watch the night go on, Kyra’s eyes caught something from afar, like a black cloud, heading towards them. she stood up, and so did Jade who knew what it was already, and he looked at her.Kyra went back to the cove
Kyra sat on her stone bed, wiping the blood off her sword with a piece of cloth. As she did that, a knock came on her door and when she raised her eyes up, she saw Sage entering, and he shut the door again. He walked towards her with a bowl and a cloth in his hand and he came to stand in front of her.Kyra set down her sword to the side carefully and she looked at him again. She hasn't said a word to him ever since they got back together, even though she knows he has lost his uncle and brother.Sage placed the bowl beside her and took her hand gently without permission. He dipped the cloth inside the water and squeezed and he started to wipe her body with it. After he was done with her hands, he came up to her face and started wiping the dirt and blood off and the water turned dirty."Do you think I'm right with what I'm doing?" She asked him.Sage stopped the movement of his hand and he asked, "Leading us to war?" He then answered, "It's the only thing we can do. Since Aamon is dead,
Since the day Kyra and Sage returned to Pollypel island, the place has been silent and they didn't return to their normal life. No one trained anymore or bullied anyone. Everyone just kept to themselves, grieving inside and awaiting what was next for their lives.Kyra hasn't smiled or spoken a word since she got back. The only place they could find her was on that cliff where she had lost Samantha. She would sit there for days and no one dared to disturb her.Sage travelled back to Athens to have a funeral for his brother and uncle and that night, Jade took up the courage to go meet Kyra where she was for days.He climbed up the mountain and when he saw her, he stopped and just stared at her. He didn't say a word until later when the sky started to darken."I know you can hear me so I'll just say what I have to say," he said and started, "I know how you feel about losing your friend. I am also in pain but it's nothing compared to yours, I know. Samantha is my sister, but she does mean
