THE REST OF The rounds were just as diabolic. In the next room which we piled up in, we were shot with small rubber bullets containing a bit of silver, and man it hurt so much! It did sting and where it hit you, it felt like you have been stung by gazillion swarms of bees. Just like in the previous rounds, some fell from the bullets and were eliminated.
We drank yet another stomach-churning bitter concoction of garlic and some bitter plant. They called it a ravine. And just like what happened previously, the liquid knocked many of us down. The last one was less painful. We entered the room and some black ash-like-looking powder was sprayed around us. When poured on the floor, it formed a nice clear line which we were told to cross. Easy right? Well, that's not how it went down! Some like me, managed to cross it; while some remained behind the black powder line. Just when we thought it was done, the powder began moving and closed them in, in a very small circ

Chapter 8GALINA POVTHE REST OF THE week passed in a blur and before I knew it, we were beginning a new week. And it was in this week where the lectures were going to commence and to be frank; I was really looking forward to it all! I didn’t know what was in store for us since this place was very mysterious, but I was ready to explore.Monday came and we all piled up into the classroom. Like previously, Egor who had become my closest friend pulled me to the backbench where we sat and ate a few snacks that were kept under the desk. We chatted softly and the teacher walked in. She was a lady who was approximately in her middle 30s, a neat pencil skirt, and ankle-spraining stilettos. A white dress shirt and black straight hair flowing at her back; She was very formal and pulled along with her a very domineering geste. As soon as she placed her paraphernalia on the desk; the whole classroom became as still as death!“Good morning everyone! I would like t

Chapter 9UNKNOWN POVSITTING IN MY BIG leather chair in my office, I looked at the files of the neophytes. The exam this year had affected our numbers and we had a very small portion at our side. it was such a pain in the ass when the test gave out a bigger number to the other faction.Although it sounded funny and rather unbelievable, the two divisions brought balance to life. There was more than what humans thought. Supernaturals have lived among humans ever since the beginning of the universe, but they still didn't know it. This only showed the level of their stupidity and their negligence to life. I was human with blood and bones yes, but heck! I have never seen such stupid creatures in the world. It used to pain me that I was human before, but now, not so much!Creatures lurked in the dark every hour of the day. The divisions were created for stability, and it has remained that way for over 500 years. And we the Anuka saw to the balance of the world. As the str

GALINA POVDAYS WENT ON and the questions kept nagging me. Nothing about this place seemed to make any sense, and the excitement that once consumed me whole had now turned into deep frustration and confusion. No one has ever mentioned to me that when we arrived in the big school, we would be trained to be witches. Absolutely no one. And my mom, did she have any idea of what was happening here? Did anybody have any idea of what was going down within the stone walls of VU? Or their shady shenanigans were off hidden and concealed from the world.And the fact that they all claimed that it was in the interest of everyone, really didn’t add up. Yes, it may sound cool to be able to talk to the dead, use forces to manipulate nature, create illusions. It had felt good in my first magic class when I floated a feather from the table and watched it dance in

It was just the fact that I had gotten too used to having him around that it felt kind of strange to be by myself in the class.We had a historical ethics class and things were rather fascinating this time. Everyone knew my passion for history and how much I loved it. There was just something that burned inside of me whenever I listened or read a history book.

JUPITER POVKeeping tabs on Grisha was as fun as it got. I still couldn’t believe that the little naïve girl with big-ass framed reading glasses was the golden phoenix who was going to bring us salvation and save the world from the hands of Anuka. It was still a very foreign concept even though I wanted to make deal with it. From the scrolls, Grisha would be strong, domineering, unstoppable. And the little girl who was not only 18 but also man-blood was really far from what was written in the scrolls! Well, except for her insanely dominating aura even though she was just meek, and pretty much killable!And now, trailing her and watching what she did every day was what I lived for. Although I was very much against it at first, because I actually didn’t understand why they wanted me to the job, I mean anyone can do it. So it just didn’t make sense for them to point me out and tell me that I should do it. But now I didn’t regret any of that. Gri

The black bag sunk on my head and heavily slump over my shoulders, pushing me down. I couldn’t scream, or say anything. I just let them carry me in their big arms and walked with me for however long they did.My ears tried to pick up all the sounds, my nose flared to carry out any lingering scent, but the bag totally engulfed me whole, and it was so heady on all of my senses!My heart was thrumming painfully in my chest, my whole body aching from being deprived of sensation. I was so lightheaded and it felt like I was going to pass out anytime soon if that went on. After millennia of walking, I was pushed down into a seat before the black hood around my head was abruptly yanked from me.I blinked a few times trying to adjust to the light in…We were inside a room, and in h

GALINA POVTHE WALK back to the dormitories was filled with nothing but a blur. I didn’t feel myself or anything about me. I was just a zombie that was putting a foot in front of the other and moving forward with no clear sense of direction. When I walked by, I heard small murmurs and saw people throwing dirty glances my way and was totally unfazed by them!I tried to think of why and how that was the case but failed miserably. All I have ever wanted was to be a laid-back student, who is focused on getting her degree and nothing else. I didn’t plan to be caught up in whatever crap Belladonna and her squad did behind the curtains. I didn’t want to be part of it in all ways. But here I was, feeling chills running down my spine at the sense of being watched. I never really thought they’d send someone to watch over me, but they did.I felt heavy like my heart was sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.The sound of running footsteps ra

Just like everything that had gone with the wind, nobody talked of those who had seizure episodes during the fest, and what the siren had been of. Because I tell you, that siren was no ordinary. And no one literally cared about the collateral damage it caused and those who got hurt.It was as if nothing happened, and everything was all merry, up and about!On a serious note, I didn’t know whether I should be awed by the level of “mind your own damn business” these people had or freak out because people disappeared day in and day out and nobody seemed to give a shit or two about it.

GALINA POVDAYS BLURRED INTO WEEKS, and for that duration, I was like a living corpse. In all my life, I have never felt so unnerved, so shaken and I didn’t who or what I was anymore.The VC had made it clear that I was something worth paying attention to, and that she and Bella had their scouts watching my every step. Jupitor who magically transformed into a giant dog said just the same thing but went in by saying that I, a normal human being who has been leading a pretty much mundane, low boring life, was somehow a divine, superior being that was going to bring redemption to the world. Like, WHAT THE HECK?I just… I couldn’t handle it!I had been ready to uncover all the hidden lies about this place but this, I couldn’t take it all in. And the fact that it seemed like everything was revolving around me just made everything worst. If the two divisions were actually a thing, why couldn't they exist as they did for more centuries without dragging me into all of the bedlam

GALINA POVARRIVING IN MY dorm later in the evening, I felt refreshed, more alive than what I left this room feeling like just a few hours back.I was frankly glad for the little get-away with Egor and I wanted to kiss him for that. I pushed the door open to find my two roommates each sitting on her bed, as soon as I emerged; they jumped up and flooded around me.“Whoa, guys. What the hell?” I asked putting my hands in the air looking at their excited faces,“When were you going to tell us that you hooked up with the Campus Prince?” Katrina called out yanking my hand and walking to my bed, and that's when I realized it was completely naked.I pointed my finger at it, bedazzled at the look and they squealed behind me.“Who did this?” I turned around to find them clapping their hands frenziedly, Klara literally jumping up and down from delight,“Who else except for Campus Prince?"“How do you

JUPITOR POVMy lycan, Darlion, snarled at the front of my head as he added more healing power into my body. In this place, I was at my safest!The stunt they pulled at the sports fest knocked me out cold. Had it not been for Kirigan, who popped out of thin air, Darlion would have been yesterday’s history.“Guys, they found her.” A sudden loud, shriek called out and I groaned from the stone bed I was currently recuperating on. Not that I needed any more recuperation because I felt okay by now! The energy from this little heaven healed me to greater extents.“What?” Sudden deep voices called out as the other guys emerged from their corners and gathered around the stone deck in the middle of the room.“Who?” I asked jumping from the bed but Eriva turned and rushed to me.“You should sit back and rest.” She guided me to the bed but I took her hand and walked to the small circle with her.“I am fine, sweet cheeks. I can live.” I teased her and she walked to the

GALINA POV“And they still do!”Her statement peeled my eyes off the portraits and landed on her poised self. I didn’t know whether she was joking since she always had a serious face on but could still send one down with a hard guffaw, but something about the way she said it told me she was far from joking!“The vampires and werewolves exist?” I said through a nervous chuckle that just came out of nowhere. I mean all of these just didn’t add up. I always loved vampires because their pale skins were just too hot to handle, and the werewolves and their possessiveness. But the thought of them being real, in this world, that wasn't what I vouched for!“Werefoxes, dragons, mermaids and merfolk, witches and warlocks, all of the legends.” She stated clamping her hands on her front.“But how?” I inquired after a good minute of an insane mind-reeling.“Well, let’s just say they don&rsq
