"You have such captivating gray eyes, and that eyeliner looks absolutely stunning on you!" She complimented me, gently turning me toward the mirror.

I was dressed in a vibrant yellow tank top, paired with a stylish jeans jacket and white pants. With my high heels, I felt like a completely different person from my past self.

As we were halfway through our conversation, we spotted you with your skateboard.

That was the day we first encountered you, and Jeniece whispered to me, "This is the girl!"

Befriending you became our first mission. I had always been used by people I met in the past, which is why I made a promise to myself to never get too close to anyone, no matter what.

But things changed, and I started to develop a deep affection for you. I considered you as my own sister.

Because you were kind to me, no one has ever been that kind to me before.

    This girl possessed an incredibly captivating personality. She stood just a couple of inches shorter than him, with long, curly, dark maroonish blue hair that cascaded down past her hips.Her eyes were big and prominent with mascara and eyeliner, and she had thin lips.She had a slim figure with a little bit of curves, dressed in a black leather jacket, black pants, and a loose navy blue shirt underneath.She was on the verge of sitting on the table when Mr. Redwood suddenly approached her with a knife, warning her, "I won't allow you to sit here until you tell me who you are!" He demanded."This isn't exactly the warmest welcome for someone who just made the best pancakes in the world for you, is it?" She squinted, a smirk playing on her lips. After a brief pause, she finally confessed, rolling her eyes, "Alright, alright! I am your cousin, Luna Redwood!" She introduced herself."You? What are you doing here? So, you're the one who wrote that..." He started to say, but she cut him of

It’s a pleasure to meet you.”“Nice to meet you too, Mr. Thompson,” I responded, shaking his hand.“Please, call me Mark. Can I get you something to drink? Coffee, tea, maybe one of our famous lavender lattes?” he offered as he sat down across from me.“A lavender latte sounds wonderful, thank you,” I said, grateful for the momentary distraction.Mark signaled to Lila, who nodded and began preparing the drink. “So, Julia, tell me a bit about yourself. What drew you to Muse & Mugs?”I took a deep breath, launching into my carefully rehearsed response.“Well, I’m in high school, and I’ve always had a passion for books and coffee. This is actually my first time applying for a job, and I felt that working here would be a perfect way to gain experience and be part of a community I admire.

    "It's alright, Dominic! It's just Jules!" Victoria reassured him, holding his shoulders and rubbing them."What's wrong with him?" I stepped back, feeling a sense of unease."I believe you're wearing the pendant," Victoria smiled."Yeah, but it's just a..." I began, taking out my pendant and noticing that the smoke inside it was black now."Whoa, what the..." My eyes widened in surprise."This orb contains wolf blood. It repels vampires and keeps away those who wish you harm. It turns black when there's a vampire or danger nearby," she explained. "Now, regarding the spell, I won't be able to perform it unless we have something that belongs to him, like a hair, a piece of skin, or flesh.""Urgh!" I groaned, frustration building up inside me. "I just want to know where he was when it happened," I muttered, gazing up at the sky."Hey! I have an idea!" Victoria snapped her fingers. "You want to confirm if it was he who killed her, right?" she asked.I nodded. "Then we can try something. J

    With everyone on board, who could resist a fun picnic outing? For some reason, I decided to bring my guitar along, perhaps to get some practice in.It wasn't until we were halfway there that Victoria noticed my guitar. "Oh my goodness, you sneaky little baby! You play guitar and didn't mention it to me?" she exclaimed.I simply nodded, causing heads to turn in my direction. I then noticed that Mr. Redwood was also on the bus, but he chose to ignore me, just as I had chosen to ignore him for the rest of my life.“Julia! Julia! Julia!” As the crowd chanted my name, I blushed as I looked across the bus, everyone eagerly waiting for me to play, Mr. Redwood was in front row, alongside with the bus driver, he didn’t see me or he maybe didn’t want to see me, who blames him, everyone could have been properly warned after that night. I was unaware of what the true reason was.When the chants grew louder, I finally covered my ears and laughed. “Okay, okay!” I giggled as I said, “I’ll play a lit

    “Yeah,” I nodded, curious.“I’m Luna Redwood.” She extended her hand. I set my guitar on my lap and shook hands with her.“Are you related to Mr. Redwood?” I asked, squinting in confusion.“Yes, I’m his cousin. I need to tell you something,” she began, a strange fear clutching my heart.“Listen, I’m not interested in hearing about your relationship with him,” I interrupted, afraid that she might reveal some romantic details.“What? God, no!” she exclaimed, her eyes wide. “I’m not talking about a relationship. He’s too young and I’m way older than him.” She paused, a serious expression crossing her face. Just then, Claire called my name, breaking the moment."Listen, when you’re ready to talk, call me on this number,” Luna said, scribbling her number on a napkin and handing it to me.I took it, nodded, and said, “Okay.”Picking up my guitar, I strummed a few chords.

I asked, my voice shaky with confusion and fear."Shh, let me hear," Dominic whispered, his focus intensifying as he tried to listen in on the nearby conversations.As he concentrated, he overheard a police officer speaking on the phone. "He’s a 16-year-old male student. Mentally disturbed, it seems. Yes, Theo Adams. He disappeared yesterday. We found a strange symbol burned into his chest. Looks like he was tortured."Dominic’s face turned serious as he looked at me. "We need to get to your house. I’ll explain everything there." He held my hand, and we headed to my home.Upon entering, we found the place in a complete mess, as if a storm had gone back and forth. Panic filled me as Dominic closed the door behind us. "Mom?"

    "Don't worry about it," I reassured him, settling down on the soft grass beside him.As we lay side by side, our eyes locked in a silent exchange of awkwardness.Breaking the silence, I mustered the courage to know more about him. "I can't imagine the hardships you've endured as a vampire, the painful transformation you've gone through," I pursed my mouth.A painful smile played upon his lips as he lay straight on his back, his eyes tracing the constellations above."You have no idea of what I've faced," he chuckled softly, his voice filled with a hint of sorrow."Tell me," I demanded, making him feel that I wouldn't judge no matter what he had done.“You wouldn’t wanna know!” He smirked.“I do!” I answered him confidently, my gaze fixed on him.He glanced at me briefly before returning his gaze to the sky. "You truly believe you can handle the darkness that lives within me?" he questioned, a flicker of doubt in his eyes.With true intentions, I placed my hand on his forearm. "I promi

    My heart raced as Dominic gently lifted my chin, his touch sending a wave of emotions through me."I shouldn't go there," I told myself, feeling a battle raging within me.I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to escape the memories of my past, of him.Evan, with his beautiful face, his eyes, his smile."Oh, Evan, what did you do to me?" No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't replace him. I would never be able to replace him.My eyebrows furrowed as Dominic's grip on my wrist loosened. "I will never ask who he was," he murmured, his words barely audible. "But I must say, he was the unluckiest man who lost a gem like you." His eyes met mine again, filled with a strange mix of sadness and pain.In an attempt to lighten my mood, he chuckled and said, "Got you!" But I could see through his act.He wasn't good at hiding his true feelings. He turned his face away, allowing two tear drops to escape his eyes."I just love rain!" he exclaimed, closing his eyes and tilting his head toward the sky.It

    Regaining my senses, I realized that I was sitting in a small pool of blood. Panic surged within me as I mumbled, "No, no, no, no! Not again!"

Scanning the room, I noticed some tools left behind by the laborers.Without a second thought, I grabbed a pickaxe and began to break the wall where the haunting hole was."Julia!" my mother called out, her voice filled with concern. However, consumed by my emotions, I couldn't contain my frustration any longer. "What do you want from me?" I screamed against the whispers, striking the walls until numerous bricks crumbled down.What we uncovered were more bricks behind the ones I broke. Apparently, they were ordinary clay bricks, yet engraved with strange markings.These markings seemed incomplete, leaving me wi

    As I made my way past these doors, I heard whispers, so muffled that it was impossible to crack what they were about.The atmosphere was thick with otherworldly tension, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being watched.“What is this place?” I whispered to myself, trying to make sense of my surroundings.The doors, some ajar and others closed tight, seemed to emit dark energy.One door in particular caught my eye. It was larger than the others, its surface engraved with beautiful carvings that seemed to shrink just like what happens when you look at something for too long.I felt a strange urge to open it, a pull I couldn’t resist.As my hand touched the door, a sudden jolt of energy traveled through me, and the door creaked open.Inside was a dimly lit chamber, and at its center stood a figure cloaked in shadows.“Welcome, Julia,” the figure whispered, its voice echoing with horror. “I’ve been expecting you.”The figure in the dimly lit chamber began to move, stepping closer

    However, a smile eventually broke through his angry expression, and he exclaimed, "That was a blast!" "Why didn't you mention that you are a singer?" he asked, raising an eyebrow and leaning on the table."Because I'm not a singer," I replied nervously. "It's a shame no one informed you sooner, Julia! You possess a remarkable voice and great command over the guitar strings!" the woman behind me spoke, placing her hands on my shoulders."You almost gave me a heart attack there!" I joked, staring at Mr. Thompson, who chuckled in response."Honestly, I did intend to startle you, but my smile always gives me away!" he admitted with a grin.As I was led out of the cafe by this woman, my eyes caught sight of Victoria and Dominic engaged in a conversation."I am glad that we chose you!" the woman exclaimed, showering me with compliments.Grateful for her kind words, "Thank you so much... uh..." I squinted, trying to recall her name.Confusion clouded my mind as I wondered what to call her.
