Tessa walked beside Doris and touched her."Hey-"Are they gone?" She shivered, still not looking up.Tessa sighed and nodded."Sure. You can look up now""Are you hurt?" Doris asked, still shivering."And why would I be?" Tessa smiled."Hurry. We need to go home now" She added.Doris sobbed and took her head up. She stood up quickly and hugged her tightly."Hey. You might choke me" Tessa laughed."I'm sorry. Gosh, I'm really sorry, Tessa""It's fine now" Tessa smiled, stroking her back. Doris broke the hug and looked at her face."It's a relief you aren't hurt. When you screamed and begged, I thought they were hurting you. Sadly, I couldn't save you as you saved me. I just kept my head low""I'm fine, seriously""Don't worry, Tessa. I'm gonna save you next time... I promise"Tessa smiled and nodded."Sure... Sure"Doris faced Connor."By the way, How did you know-"Huh... He was walking nearby and saw us right. Besides, he lives blocks away from our place" Tessa said. swiftly."Wow.
"But, Jake... Who do you love the most?" She asked in a whisper and brought her masked face really close to his face."What?" Jake muttered.The face shifter chuckled and scanned Jake's eyes."Got it" She whispered.Jake swallowed hard waiting for the worst to come."Tessa!" Connor suddenly screamed.Jake quickly turned back and saw Tessa dissipating."What... What's happening to me?" She stammered, looking at her hands which were magically vanishing to thin air."I'm scared. Jake, Connor, help me" She cried out.Jake and Connor made to run to her but suddenly the rocks started falling again."If I were you, I wouldn't do that," The Face shifter said."Tessa, Don't worry. Just...just try and fight it. Remember, no power works on you" Connor said, frightened already.Jake's eyes were already teary and blood shotted. He gnashed his teeth and clenched his fist tightly in anger."I'm confused. I don't know what's happening. This isn't supposed to happen" Tessa cried."It is sweet blood. A
The cave began to crumble and little by little, rocks began to fall down."Mabel!" Jake shook her.Mabel slowly turned to him. She still had Mason on her thighs and arms.Jake sighed deeply and grabbed her arm."We need to leave now," He said.She sobbed loudly."Mason... What about Mason? What are we gonna do about him? We can't just leave him like this-"Please! Please... get it together, Mabel. I guess you wanna die with him too?" Connor raised his brows angrily."Connor" Tessa quietly cautioned."Why? Aren't I spitting facts? If we stay here for three more minutes, we are all gonna die. Mabel, please... just get it together" Connor said.Mabel cried again and Jake quickly pulled her up."Mabel. You are the only one who can teleport us away from- Jake paused and quickly covered her from a rock that fell.The rock hit his back and he groaned. His broad and able body covered Mabel and Tessa watched, quite perplexed."Are you alright?" Jake asked.Mabel nodded."I should even be the o
"Dark hunters? They are really strong you know, not sure if we can do anything to them. Their science can overtake the whole supernatural race" Nora said, ironically.Karl angrily bit his lower lip."And they are sure very corny"Tessa sighed."It's better we stay off their hook now till they are few hunters left. We all know some might retire very soon. Maybe when they are lesser, we could all strike and attack, don't you think?" She asked."I think she's right," Connor said and everyone finally agreed."But once I see them, I'm gonna sure I show them operation no mercy," Karl said."Yeah, sure thing," Mabel said.***"Hope I didn't take your time?" Tessa asked.Doris shook her head and smiled. She held Tessa's hand and inhaled deeply."By the way, where did you run off to?" She asked."What?" Tessa widened her eyes."I forgot to ask you then cause I was excited so where did you-"I forgot something in school so I had to run back" Tessa chuckled."Okay then" Doris nodded.At Night**
Next Day, Morgan's High**Miss Hannah sighed and looked at Mason's empty chair."So, you mean he traveled to Pakistan?" She asked in awe.Mabel looked at the chair sadly and slowly back in front before placing her face down on the desk."That was what he told me" Karl replied."He could have told me. I've tried calling him but he isn't reachable. Anyways, let me know if you hear from him, okay?" Miss Hannah said."Okay Ma'am, That won't be a problem" Karl smiled."Okay, class. Have a nice day ahead" She said."Thank you, Miss Hannah" They all shouted.She smiled and left."What? Pakistan? Out of all countries, why say Pakistan?" Jake laughed."Whatever. Kinda fancy it cause my favorite actor is from there. He also died wrongfully in one of my best drama series. My Ali" Karl sobbed, childishly."What's he saying" Jake giggled."By the way, Miss Hannah doesn't even know she was the one who mistakenly summoned the face shifter by using that test" Karl snarled."Just let her be. She's inn
"Hold on! A minute! What are you doing right now?" Tessa snapped and quickly left Jake's arms. She kept her hands akimbo. "You!" She pointed at Jake. "Who said you could drink? Have you forgotten that you're a minor?" "Minor. I'm 208 years old, please" Jake blabbed. "Whatever. You still have a student's body so that means you're a minor!" Jake only shook his head. "And you!" Tessa pointed at Connor. "When did you come here?...Or are you here to drink too?" She added, furrowing her eyes. "Oh no," Connor shook his head. "So, why are you here?" Tessa asked, looking around. Connor sighed deeply and scratched his head. "Actually, I saw you leaving your place and decided to follow you. Sorry if I stalked you" Tessa blinked. "Huh!..Uh...It's fine. Anyways, I'm off. You all should keep arguing and having fun" "You stalk too? As if minding your business wasn't enough"Jake scoffed. Tessa gave Jake a shooting hard glare and he gulped. "Tessa?" Jake called, softly. Tessa sighed
After Connor and Laura had kept the rack of phones in the staff room, they went back to their class.Laura looked at her empty desk deeply. She interlocked her fingers and gulped. She also felt her heart racing fast.She slowly took her hand down and touched a phone which was in her underwear, under her skirt. She looked at Connor and a memory of that morning came into her mind.Flash Back**get"I heard today is your mid-term test," Mr. Vincent said, as he crunched the dry bread in his mouth. He drank the chilled bottled milk quickly.Laura looked up at him from the dinner table and nodded."Yes," Lucas said."How are you two ready? Especially you, Laura?" He asked.Laura blinked her eyes trying to hold her tears. She knew exactly why her father hated her and treated her so differently.It happened one night when Mr. Vincent came back home drunk as usual. He went into the kitchen and quarreled with his wife for making little food for him. He ended up pushing her.It didn't end well. S
Tessa felt her neck turn over. Now her head was on the other side with her body on the opposite side.It makes her look like a robot. Tessa continued screaming."It doesn't even hurt, why scream?" Mrs. Morgan scoffed.Tessa stopped screaming and cleared her throat. She noticed Mrs. Morgan was right. She also remembered such a case had happened to her before, but that was her arm."What did you do to me?" Tessa questioned."I made you look less human and most importantly, I wanted you to face her" Mrs. Morgan pointed at where Tessa was now facing.Tessa saw a teenage girl just like her. She had red veins all over her legs and arms. Her eyes were pure white. She was wearing a long white gown."I don't understand. What is she?" Tessa asked.Mrs. Morgan turned Tessa's head back to me."She's the first of your race and you're the last of your race. Like I said before, I want to make more though. But firstly, I'm gonna tell you what truly happened... How everything took place"Tessa widened
