CAUGHT IN THE ACT

"What was that?" He asks me while he watches the bird fly off. He looks like he wants to snatch the bird from its flight to find out what I just sent.

I was taken unawares. How didn't I feel someone at my back?

"Ermmm… my lord, I was sending a letter to my parents and my sister. They always love to hear from me every week," I stutter. I hope that I didn't just let my guard down.

He stares at me blankly. I try to read the expression on his face, but there seem to be none as it all seemed to have been concealed by him. For the first time in my entire years of existence, I feel nervous and wish that I have the ability to read minds. I wouldn't mind getting into his head and reading his thoughts.

"You were sending what messages? Why did you have to send it this late at night?" He finally speak up, and I release the breath I've been holding unknowingly. I've never been this nervous all my life. The moon is reflecting on his hard features now. He isn't smiling.

"Calm down Reginald. The carrier pigeon came back empty yesterday. However, We can not conclude yet. It's just a probability. Levi said that he will send the bird back tonight for reconfirmation" Beatrice says."And what if it come back empty?" I glare at her. "Ermmm…" she's speechless, just as I thought.

Maybe I should have just put her under room arrest, that would have been better and milder for her skin. Elias tried making me see reasons why she shouldn't be kept in the dungeon but I argued with more facts. This made him give up. He left saying "You are always stubborn. I wonder who will be to touch that cold heart of yours"Well, maybe someone has because her effect on me has been overpoweringly strong.

The nightcrawlers came together to join forces with all the confessors to eradicate the male confessor once and for all. They all knew, that killing the male confessor is like catching lightning - His armies are might, large and filled with humans, confessors, Lycans, werewolves, and nightcrawlers.Only a few, a very little few are not under his command. They are all bent to his command and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the male confessor. With his mother forcefully beside him, ruling multiple large kingdoms.When he was only but twenty, Dylan decided to kill him, but he was caught. The male confessor commanded that each part of his fingers should be removed every hour, then he would finally be killed when the ten fingers and toes are gone.Dylan removed the leather gloves, revealing his lost fingers.

    THE LITTLE BOY The nightcrawlers surrounded the eldest of the nightcrawlers inside their cave. They waited for him to speak up because they are all aware that he would have known about what is going on currently in the forest and with the confessors. "You all expect me to say something about what is going on currently in the confessor's city?" The nightcrawler asked. They all shook their heads and went their way. Deep down they were all scared. What really happened during those times? The nightcrawler sighed and glared at one who didn't want to leave. "What are you waiting for young one?" He didn't speak, yet he continued staring at the nightcrawler. He sniffed the air and at once the old nightcrawler knew something was disturbing him. "Talk young one. I won't sacrifice you." He assured. "The baby ---" "I know. I'm also thinking about what to do here. The baby must not live." "The baby is hours old now. Nothing can kill him as we speak. What about that sword, Elder Dylan?" It ha

    HE IS REBORN."We will regret this. It is not about the question if we would. We didn't - No - You should have listened when I said we should go forward and search for her." Theresa, one of the midwives - also one of the greatest confessors that ever lived lamented.She sat down on the chair as she entered the room and others followed behind. "I know it is risky." The eldest of the midwives said and continued. "But, we all know that it is just written in the books and we have not seen for ourselves what great calamity would befall us. Maybe the people who came together to write this book see how powerful he is and would not want anyone to wield that kind of power again. Thus, tagging him bad from birth.""I would not say otherwise, but it is written for a reason. If it was never a threat to us all, I don't think they would have agreed to write the book.""Then they should have explained the consequences of leaving that child alive. No stories, only warnings. And if it had happened bef

    THE BIRTH SYNDROMEIt feels a lot weird when you know you have a super power inside of you. Humans and supernatural beings bend to your will, and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it. It is incredible, but it comes with a disadvantage."Erhmm, Nicholas, can you help me with the cup of water on the table please?" Avery asked."I'm very busy currently, there are a lot of letters I need to write back to Blessingstoke and —" a stolen glare toward Avery kept him mute halfway. "Don't you dare use that on me, Avery." Nicholas stood slowly.Avery laughed and kept on laughing. "I'm not using it on you. See my baby bump, I don't want to move right now." She said amidst laughing.Avery is eight months pregnant. The midwives told her to get into care immediately, but she was adamant. When anyone tries to force her to leave for the care room, she would try to use her powers on them. Thus, they all backed off at one point in time.They heard a knock on the door. Nicholas was holding the

    BETRAYAL AND LOYALTY"We are home!" Philippa, a young lady about Avery's height and age yelled as she entered the castle. Beatrice wouldn't believe her eyes - she shouldn't be back now - oh, she missed Avery."Philippa?" Beatrice called out her daughter. They embraced each other as tightly as they could."Mother." She smiled, closing her eyes to feel the moment she had craved for.There was an elderly woman beside Philippa. A few months ago, she was forced to follow Philippa to an unknown town And they spent most of the year there. "Mrs Stewart, welcome back." Beatrice greeted her.Amazed as she should be. "Is this the king's sister?" She asked."Yes, I am," Beatrice replied with a grin."The real you wouldn't have greeted me. It is weird." She said what was on her mind and didn't keep anything to herself."People change." Reginald walked majestically toward Mrs Stewart and gave her a warm hug."Reginald." She called him."I have missed how you call my name." Reginald smiled. "Avery w

    THE EVIDENCE"Should we ask her about it?" Nicholas bent toward Avery. Avery glared at Beatrice."No, don't. Let's wait till after the wine and dine. Don't spoil the fun!" Avery yelled beneath her voice."Why did you have to yell?" Nicholas scowled."I didn't. I just have to maintain a voice you can hear with the high pitch noise in this tavern.""No one can hold his liquor better than me." A man with a gold beard and a loud voice bluffed after finishing a bowl of liquor."Did he really finish that?" Nicholas asked Avery."We are both watching Nicholas. Don't ask me questions like that. I'm still amazed." Avery glared at the dwarf."Let me prove it to you." Danika's solemn voice filled the room. Her actions brought more evidence to Nicholas.The eldest prince of the moonstone clan was the strongest liquor drinker in the whole of Arbedour until Danika challenged him and she won. Maybe that sums up the reason Elias hated Danika up till now."She behaves exactly like Danika." Nicholas la

    A VISIT TO HELL"Who is next!?" Young Danika screamed from the arena. Nicholas was proud of his best friend who hasn't turned but defeated those that have with ease. No one like her because of this and they are looking for a person that can shut her mouth - she hasn't stopped yelling and no one was cheering - Nicholas would have, but as the son of the alpha, he is expected not to take sides."I said who is next!!?" Danika bluffed until a huge man came on stage.This was not supposed to be so. He shouldn't be there at the moment. He was not expected to fight at all, but people wanted her to lose. Nicholas complained to Devon, but he didn't listen."Father, this is murderer. She hasn't shifted yet and she will fight with Kakuna? Even I can't take him on without getting serious injuries." Nicholas complained."No, this would be total fun. Don't you believe in your best friend?" He replied with a grin. Maybe this day was the day he stopped calling Devon, 'father'.ANNOUNCER: THERE IS THE

Nicholas was glued to Reginald throughout after the king dismissed them from his presence and Avery stayed with Danika and Beatrice. The men sat with the butcher who was almost done with the kill and talked about sports and the following day which was hunting.Nicholas was lost in their conversation about sports, but it is entirely different from what he knew back at home. Reginald showed the scar he got from racing on a wild horse and the butcher joked about the fact that he is always butchering or arranging the meat into a sack. Tables turned and it was Nicholas' turn."What about you?" Reginald tilted his head sideway. "Have you gotten any injury or scars?" He asked before Nicholas could reply. "I know you guys heal or you don't?""Too many questions." Nicholas scoffed. "Well, I have a scar, but it is a long story. It is from the sports, but not actually from playin
