Chapter 29: Mysterious Woman
Last Updated:
2021-09-14 22:58:53Nervousness and never-ending tenseness were the emotions that I felt talking to her. She was telling me secrets and more about her truth, but me, I told lies. Not all of it of course, but she would be devastated if I will reveal them.
We were heading back, took gentle strides, shoulder to shoulder, and enjoying the peacefulness of the memorial garden. The moon was visible in the night sky that gave sheepish light to the memorial, filtered by the trees. I was aghast with the beautiful structures that held coffins from prominent families of their Coven. Maria had shared stories of some of her coven mates and a little bit of their history but the information was shallow enough that needed no pondering.
But I had been meaning to hear from her about her bloodline. If she was one of the Cruz’s who held Larissa’s maternal blood then she is one of the most powerful witches in their Coven.
Every time she told me about her secrets, the more I knew about her. H

As I stepped inside the school campus’ front gate, my paranoia started to loom. Right after I swiped my ID card on a radio frequency detection system, the feeling kicked in. The system flashes your face on a screen conspicuous to the entrance guards to confirm the identity of the ingressed student. The Coven spies might have difficulty in entering the campus without being questioned, they did not have IDs like ours. Or maybe they were actual students waiting for further instructions by their Coven Magistrate.I felt unsafe, I informed my father thru text regarding the Coven spies. I also texted Edward for he might expose my connection with the Keepers. I told Edward not to talk to me for now and lay low. He assured me that other members of the Keepers on our school campus were also engaged with the possibility of identifying these Coven spies. Buy my father and Edward had asked me about the source of my information which I had difficulty in divulging. I could not

My heart melted to see her face so depressed. I could not imagine how the Coven had handled her teenage life with so many restrictions, for the safety and continuity of Cruz bloodline. The freedom park was heaved with students who loitered waiting for their next subject, I could sense their stares piercing through my nape. A popular student talking to a loser in broad daylight was a feat with my status. But the concern was just transient, I refocused on Maria and whatever she may have carried, a burden unimaginable.“Hey, what’s wrong,” I greeted back, my voice was soft with a hint of concern.She continued to stride until our bodies were close enough to hear her whisper.“I think I am in trouble. I think another two students were following me. I don’t know, maybe they are from the Keepers,” she whispered.“Are they still following you?” I asked. I knew this would happen. Now, I know about Coven’s bloo

The feeling of uncertainty and thrill crept to my skin. It never ceased since this morning, the moment I stepped inside the school campus. My paranoia became real. I became vigilante instantly to my surroundings as I have confirmed with Edward.“Bait? Me? Why?” I asked. He told me early this morning that he was the only one who is bait. Now, he was telling me that I am also baiting. I was repositioned from a lookout to a bait, felt more of a front liner, an unprepared battle front liner, or a cannon fodder perhaps.“You have been made. The Coven knew your association with the Keepers,” Edward said. His statement was already anticipated. It’s only a matter of time, but I was not expecting this fast. If the spies knew then maybe Maria also knew. Maybe it was when Edward punched Alex’s face for my aide. She might have recognized Edward, the person that followed her, watching her every move.“Me? How?” I asked.

The two figures’ faces appeared before us as they ceased walking until about five meters from our positions. The cold breeze blew a little harder and we all felt the chill. The breeze had no hindrances as it danced freely on the vast soccer field. The whooshing sound of the wind was the only audible sound momentarily until Edward spoke to them.“Witches,” he referred to the two teenagers before us, “surrender now and there will be no further bloodshed.”The male scoffed. He was tall but not taller than Edward and a little scrawny like me but his face had no hint of intimidation and fear. His deep sharp eyes told me everything about him. A killer.“What do you call yourselves? The Keepers? Keepers of what exactly? Of the truth?” The male witch mocked.“You do not have to worry about the answers, witch. All you need to worry about now is your life and the life of your comrade,” Edward mused with nonchala

I took deep breaths, somewhat forcing my lungs to function. I felt the oxygen supplied fuel to my body as I felt my strength regaining. I shook my head trying to wore off the dizziness. I was still on the ground and struggled to stand. My body was still hurting, I coughed hard as I stood with both feet on the ground.The female witch conjured a bluish flame that engulfed her right hand. It was burning like a blue torch. She hesitated as he recognized Kane, I saw it in her face. She forced it, she lunged towards Kane and swung her flaming hand wildly towards him but he evaded it efficiently. Three swings and the last attempt was caught by Kane with his bare hand, grasped her slender forearm and she struggled to remove it from his grip. But the witch was strong, she freed herself from him but Kane kicked her stomach right after she pulled her arm.The witched growled in pain, gnashed her insides. She emaciated on the ground kneeling, distracted her from Kane’

Edward knelt near the unconscious bodies and checked their pulse. He buried his two fingers onto the sides of their necks and he confirmed that they were dead. The hallway had blood splattered all over. I saw Kane’s dagger had blood on it too. He was heavily gasping for air.“He got away,” Kane snorted. He was wounded too.“How? He was already wounded.” Edward said.“He had help. We were ambushed by other witches. The soldiers were compelled by witches and made them fight me. I had no choice but to kill them all,” Kane grunted.“There are others nearby, just keep your eyes open, Luke,” Edward commanded.“What about dad?” I asked.“You do not need to worry about your dad, Luke. He is one of the great hunters in our era,” Edward mused.We started to sprint out of the building, following the trails of blood from the male witch wounded by Edward&rs

Slowly, she lifted the ice stake aiming at my heart. My both hands on her hand that choked my neck, tried to loosen her grasp. I felt my strength was fading as I struggled to introduce air into my body. She teased the tip of her stake to my chest, running in circles. I felt the pointy tip of the ice stake chilled my shirt wherever it touched and the thought of imminent death raced my heartbeat, hammering against my chest.“Should I kill you this time boy?” The woman taunted.With only one push of the stake would instantly kill me as it was aiming right in the middle of my sternum. I was instantly remorseful of what my eagerness had led me. I may have caused this incident. The Coven spies were maybe deployed because they had feared Maria might be compromised because of me. Because maybe of our secret meetings in the memorial.Suddenly, a figure appeared in my peripherals. It was coming fast as if it was flying or jumping. I was not sure, my vision blu

A month only left to end the semester. I am bound to embark on a new school for my third year in college. A feeling of lonesomeness had defined my mood every time I stepped in the school’s campus. It was just a month before that we had fought with the Coven spies and it was ugly. One witch had died in the hands of my father’s team and I am almost killed twice.I was almost indifferent with the people around me, my shyness never loomed since that day. I felt incredibly confident and without remorse. Sadly, the absence of Maria gave a vacuum in my heart, a space filled with nothingness. She had not replied to my text messages even in social media. I have heard she and her family had moved to another place, without even finishing the semester.I understood their condition, they felt unsafe anymore on this grounds even in this region. This place now was filled with Keeper’s spies, to continually look for the presence of Witches but also for

“Hey! Layla. Happy to see you. How have you been?” My emotions rosed to positivity.“Yeah. 3rd year now here in Fortis. How about you, I heard you transfer, so here you are. Found you.” She sniggered with a friendly expression on her face.“Yeah, it’s been tough for me though in the city. Maybe a place like this would give me peace of mind,” I confessed. The thought of Maria and the memories we shared in the places at school gave me nostalgia. It was also for the best for my mum, whenever the witches threatened me, it would also impose a threat to my mother.“Do not stress yourself too much, Luke. It does not look good on you. I do not want to see that handsome face of yours, frowning,” she chuckled while smacking my shoulder.“Do I look stressed?”“Yeah. It’s written all over your face. Or, are you just anxious in this new school?”“Maybe. I
Forbidden Paramour Chapter 43: Fortis University
Monday.I felt weird heading towards the new school. The secret school as the Keepers said had me a faint idea of what it looked like. A secret school for a secret society. It was about 100 kilometers away from the city and headed towards mountainous parts of the region. The area was seemingly cold as the car ran along well maintained cemented road, slicing through the visible faint fog that floats along the road. Beyond the long and wide road, were heaved with mostly pine trees and other kinds of trees that were heavy with leaves.It was a four-hour-long ride and my mother decided to stay back at our house. She was offered to come with me but she refused. She was comfortable in her state and she seemed happy with her work at the hospital even with the hectic schedule she always had.“Your father is waiting for you at school to introduce you to some of your teachers,” Collins mused while he drove smoothly with the Range Rover. I could not understand

The laughter of passers-by heard from a distance. Whatever we got going, we stopped and stared at each other until the people from beyond the parking lot disappeared from our sight. The parking lot was normally unpopulated in a time before the people from work had gone home. For a few more minutes, this lot would be full of cars, and thus our conflict would end. Lance had deep breaths, tried to relieve the pain he had on his wounded shoulder. I saw the flesh was slowly burning away, emanated from where the dagger had been buried.I saw the source of the laughter and they were young adults like me but with different uniforms. They were from another school. They seemed amused by themselves, their voices echoed to the walls of the three-story buildings that heaved the block.For a few seconds, the passers-by vanished and without hesitation, I sprinted towards him. Swung my dagger to slice his throat and he evaded it an inch away from my blade but he stumbled as I tripped

The parking lot was empty of any human soul, only a few parked cars. The rustling sound of leaves that danced against the cold breeze and the clanking of interlinked wires were audible at the moment.“I will kill you, Lance!” I said it. Before the thought of killing a soul had not crossed my mind but this time, it was different. I was facing a murderer who had not answered his crimes yet.“Why? Why did you kill two of our teachers?” I asked angrily.“It was simply a misunderstanding. Mr. Ross and Mr. Bennette did not understand my situation. I could not fail my subjects or the school could take me away from the basketball team.”“They did not deserve to die, Lance!” I argued.This guy was insane. He had to kill teachers just to maintain his grades and keep his title as Captain of the basketball team. All he was thinking about was his fame and reputation. The itch of killing him grew stronger. I was in
Forbidden Paramour Chapter 40: Encounter
Suddenly, the grandeur portrait of the headquarter mansion invaded my thoughts. The people that dwell on it, young and old, were destroyed by witches. I could not imagine if such witches exist that dared to attack the people that hunted them for decades. It seemed they had prepared for this day and they were training for a counter offense against the Keepers. The statement of Maria seemed to be impossible on my first comprehension, thus I asked for clarification.“Are you saying that witches are going to attack the headquarters?” I asked perplexedly. The thrill of her next words seemed to be forever until she responded, “Yes. Unfortunately, Luke. They are planning for an all-out war this time. That is why I came here to warn you.”“All-out war? Are we not in a war already?” I asked.“This time, Luke. It will be chaotic.” She replied.“When?”“I do not know for sure. But I have heard

My soul jumped in surprise or confusion. My heart was hammering hard against my chest as my vision fell into her smile. She stood up from the couch, wearing loose tattered jeans and a fitting shirt. She had no make-up on but even the simplicity of her looks, her smile had an overwhelming effect on me.“Hey!” I greeted with a cracking voice.“Hey!” She greeted back.“H-How are you?” I said as I lowered myself to the cushioned chair across her and she sat back. It was the first question that came into my mind along with numerous questions in line for me to ask her.She was glancing at my mom as she prepared for dinner in our kitchen as if she had something to say discreetly. I got her signs in her uneasiness and she needed for us to talk privately.“Ahm, I am fine,” her voice was soft and almost inaudible.I smiled at her and turned to my mom. “Mom, we will go upstairs to talk about our upc

“Make up your mind, Alex. Am I a maggot or a dead fish?” I said casually. Alex had lifted me slightly and pressed against the wall with both hands. He was strong as he looks and his two friends behind him, flexed their knuckles as if trying to intimidate me. I looked up at the sky beyond the tall buildings and I saw despair. The clouds seemed to frown at me, told me something unfathomable.“Where is your friend, Luke? Did he run away, afraid to face me outside campus?” Alex groaned. I veered my vision towards Alex.“You cannot beat his ass, Alex. He is well trained in Krav Maga,” I said.“Krav Maga you say. Trying to make your boyfriend stronger ha. Well, if you do not tell me where he is then we will beat your ass until you sing.”He released me from his grip and took a step back. Bullet time suddenly activated the moment I sensed danger. I had anticipated his move, about five steps in advance. He would del
