last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

My throat is painfully sore and my heart is beating so fast that I can almost hear it. I feel like I'm having an anxiety attack but I know better.

Either way it wakes me up but it's not the only thing, my phone has been ringing non stop. I suspect it's my dad because he was not pleased at all when I told him I was sleeping over at Ella's house.

But to my surprise, it's actually Amelia calling me. I frown, it's not like Amelia to ever call me, much less this early.

I get our of bed and head to Sky's bathroom as I don't want to wake him.

"Hello?"

"Heaven, are you alright?" She asks, her voice frantic.

"Yes. I'm with Sky."

"We need to talk, it's important." She adds and I start to get nervous.

"Why, what happened?" I ask even though a part of me is terrified of what she has to say.

    Feed on me? What exactly does that mean? "Demons feed on human blood, Sky and right now you are the only one around." I tell him, still helplessly clinging onto him. I'm trying my best to push him away but he's making it so hard for me. "Heaven, calm down. You won't hurt me." I don't know who he's trying to convince, me or him. "Don't touch me!" I push him off of me so hard that I knock him into the wall. He starts to groan in pain, his hand pressed against his head. I start to panic at the thought that I might have seriously hurt him in my attempt to push him off me. "Sky!" I rush to him, kneeling beside him but still anxious to touch him. "Are you okay?" I ask him. "Ugh!" He continues to groan in pain and it pains me to see him like this. I want to touch him so bad but I'm terrified of what I might do to him. &nb

    Nothing says I love you like the question will you marry me. The answer tothat question can make or break the future of one's relationship, especially if it's a life or death situation. I neverthought Iwould be asked that question at seventeen. Not that I don't believe in young love but I don't think I can handle that kind of commitment especially with the kind of life I lead. But I don't have to worry, because it isn't Sky asking me that question, or in this case suggesting it. "Marriage?"I ask in disbelief. "You want us to get married?" "It's the only way to protect both of you." Amelia says. "And it would explain why you are always together." "How romantic." I snap sarcastically. How can they suggest marriage as an alternative to keep Sky safe? "Sarrtina is one of the first Angels who switched over to Soliaire's side." C

    My father is fuming and he hasn't even heard the best part yet. Honestly I don't think I have ever seen him this angry before. Maybe I should have listened to Sky and taken him up on his offer to stand by me as I tell my father that we are going to get married. Even Ella offered to come with me, after she got over the shock of course. She was confused and annoyed with the fact that the Rosemont sisters had learnt the news first, and she even asked if I was pregnant. But after clearing that up, she got all excited and even offered to help with the planning of the wedding. I don't know how she will work together with the Rosemont sisters. It's one less thing to worry about which is a relief considering the problem I'm currently facing, my father. Well, let's get this over with. "Aren't you going to say something?" He finally a

    It'sa new day, finally. I'm not usually enthusiastic about Mondays but after what happened yesterday and the day before, going to school is now the highlight of my life especially now that I'm engaged to my chemistry partner. In spite if everything that's happened, I'm pretty excited to be in public with him for the first time as his fiancee. I'm brushing my hair when I hear my bedroom door open. I don't bother looking to see who it is because I recognize the scent, it's Ronnie. It's so unlike her to just barge in within knocking. Hmmm, I wonder what's that about. "Evie, I need to talk to you." She sounds calm enough but there's something off about it, she doesn't sound nervous or cheerful which is very weird. I don't stop brushing my hair but I do turn to look at her. "Sure, what is it?" She stays quiet for a moment, just staring at and I start to recognize the R

    Forgive me Father for I have sinned against my mistress..... The first words are more like a confession rather than any sort of secret you would normally read in diaries. But then again, there's nothing normal about any of this. "Evie, are you okay?" Ronnie asks, she's sitting beside me in the back seat of the car which is unusual because I always sit with my father in the front, but after what happened last night, I think we both need our space. I quickly close the diary and hastily put it in my back pack. "Yes I'm fine." After what she just revealed to me she should know I'm far from being okay. I wonder how much of Aurora's secrets she read. I could easily read her mind and find out but my head is wrapped around Aurora's diary so much that I can't think of anything else. And I'm also trying to figure out how to confront Cassandra about

  • Haunted Beasts   CHAPTER 62

    Ronnie is practically paralyzed with fear, she's not moving and she isn't saying anything which is a relief, because I'm sure these two demon sisters rip her to shreds if she dares to do anything. And it's a good thing my dad is still unconscious, Lord knows he wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut if he was awake. I'm still on the ground, waiting for the two demon sisters to pounce on me, or maybe only one of them will. I have had interactions with both of them and it's safe to say I managed to stay alive but I don't think I can fight them at the same time and come out unscathed. Sarrtina watches as her sister starts to approach me and my heart pounds as I prepare myself for a retaliation. I have to fight back, even if I don't win I have to try, for Ronnie, for my father and for myself. "Aren't you going to beg for your life?" She asks me, her voice calm. "Why would I beg you?" I retort, f

    Aurora is fuming so I'm fuming. Between the lightning and the electric currents radiating off of me, I would say neither Aurora nor I are in control at this point. I don't even know what is happening, everything is just so loud. James is on the ground screaming in pain and so is the demon girl. And it's because of me, I'm causing the noise and even though I want everything to stop, I just can't. Aurora won't let me, she's scared because she's never seen James in so much pain. And between her and my powers, I'm out of control. "Heaven?" His voice completely startles me. What is he doing here and is he real or just something my imagination conjured up? I wouldn't be surprised at this point. "Sky?" "You need to come down." He says quickly. "Amelia called 911 and they will be here soon so please get down." What is he saying? I should get d

    I don't exactly remember the last time I was in a hospital, but I do remember my entire family fussing all over me and trying their best to comfort me during one of my so called 'breakdowns'. What I never imagined was that one day I would be the one doing the fussing and the comforting. I'm trying my best to comfort Alice but she's losing her mind with worry and she's almost hysterical. I suppose it's natural, after all two of the people she loves most in the world were involved in a car accident and one of them has yet to wake up. I don't think I have ever seen her cry this much before or just cry in general. She's always happy and enthusiastic much like her cheery daughter. I know words won't do much at this point so I just hold her hand, quietly comforting her. Sky is seated beside me, rubbing my shoulder but he's also quiet, I think he's processing everything that's happened so far. It's easier for me because I'm starting to understand what

    They arrive back to their world of Xnandria and the master is barely alive. She worries that he's going to bleed to death and die. It's a known fact that the wounds of the wings never heal, especially if the creature who tore them out is a powerful angel who's also half angel. "Brothers , sisters!" She cries for help as she carries the master into his temple. "Achilles!" She calls for her sister. "Master is dying!" They get into the temple and it's unusually empty with the exception of Zacharie, Hasiah and Achilles who's sitting in the master's chair by the way. Zacharie and Hasiah stand beside, making no attempt to come help help her with the master. "So the girl managed to remove his wings, I hear the wounds never heal." Achilles dares to say. Sarrtina senses a shift in her sister's loyalty. "Achilles what are you doing?" "My brothers and I have been talking a

    The sun's getting real low, it's finally over, Soliaire is out of my life now. I managed to defeat him and I managed to stay alive. It's the end of all of this and finally I can breathe easily. I can finally move on from this chapter of my life. Now I can be with Sky and we can get married. "Heaven," Sky finally approaches me. "Are you okay?" He asks but I don't reply him I just grab him and pull him in for a tight hug. "It's finally over, we can be together peacefully and we can finally get married." I tell him as I hold on tightly. "Are you sure you are okay?" He's still pretty shaken up with everything that's just happened. "Yes yes, I'm fine." I try to convince him. "Are you ok though, you are not hurt?" I briefly let him go so I can look at him to see for myself that he is indeed ok. "Yes I'm fine but you don't look fine." I frown. "What do y

    I am not afraid anymore. I'm going to fight and I'm going to stay alive, for Sky and for myself. If something were to happen to me, it would kill him just as much as it kills me and I can't do that to him. He deserves to be happy and after I win this fight I'm going to devote the rest of my life to making him happy. Soliaire looks at home on Alice's couch, I suppose the color does go with his dark demeanor. While he looks relaxed and calm on the couch, Sarrtina, Achilles and the other two men I believe to be Zacharie and Hasiah, look like their are ready for a fight. It goes without saying that Zaralina and I are quite numbered. It's the five of them against the two of us. And if we are going to get out of this one alive, I have to believe that the reason Soliaire pulled out the big guns is because he fears that I'm stronger than him and can actually fight him. Zaralina won't let me walk further into the room

    It takes me about two hours to explain everything going on to Sky. We have moved to the bed, deciding it's best to talk about this while sitting down, or in this case lying down. "So if you are mistress, what does that make me, master?" He asks teasingly. I lean up on my elbow to look at him, wondering just how he can be amused at a time like this. I swat his arm. "What is wrong with you?" I ask trying to sound serious but I can't contain my laughter. He laughs too, grabbing me and pulling me on top of me. "Clearly missing so much school is messing with my brain." "Yeah, clearly." I mock him, my fingers messing with his hair. "Goes to show how much I love you. Before you, I had never skipped school but now I do it so naturally. You are so lucky I love you." Only Sky can be funny and sweet at the same time. I start to kissing him, passionately on t

    "Mistress!" Her voice is frantic as she shakes me. "Wake up!" My eyes snap open only to see that I'm in my room, safe and sound. Zaralina is hovering over me and if I'm not mistaken, she actually looks worried. I sit up, momentarily touching my back to see if my wings are still intact. The whole thing just felt so real that I need confirmation that I'm alright and that nothing actually happened. "Do not worry, they are still there." Zaralina says, clearly reading my mind. Feeling embarrassed by the fact that she's caught me weirdly touching my back, I immediately stop. "I just wanted to check." I tell her awkwardly, I'm still not a friendly basis. "I understand." She says as she sits besides me on my bed. "You had the vision, didn't you?" I nod. "Yes, he killed me." "Soliaire can be vicious when his power is threatened

    Send your dreams where nobody hides Give your tears to the tide No time No time It's official, Wait is now my new favorite song. It's calming and distracting enough. It makes me feel like I'm in a different world, one where I can go to sleep and actually dream peacefully. But unfortunately I'm not in that world, I'm in this one, this never ending nightmare that is my life. I have to say, if it weren't for my unconditional love for Sky, I would save Soliaire the trouble and just kill myself because this is seriously getting out of hand. I even feel like a prisoner in my own house. With all these intruders invading my house in the middle of the night, I'm starting to feel out of place here. Amelia removes my earphones. "You are not a prisoner." She assures me. "We just want to keep you safe."

    I knew Sky would take the news badly but I didn't think he would take it this bad. While he seems to have calmed down now, resting on top of me with his head on my chest and his hands wrapped around my waist, it took me a while to get him to stop crying.Up until today I had never seen him this emotional and it's breaking my heart to see that I have caused him so much pain. I didn't do it on purpose but I still hurt him none the less."What are you thinking about?" He asks me, after moments of silence."You." I say simply whilest I play with his blonde locks."What is your favourite song?" I suddenly blurt out.Sky lifts his head from my stomach. "What?" He's surprised by my question."I just realized that I'm going to marry you and I don't really know everything about you, including your favourite song.""Don't you think we have more i

    Sky tightly grips my hand, like he's afraid I'm going to run away or something. In all honesty I'm also scared, if the Rosemont sisters came all this way to talk, it must be very important and it their world it could also mean very dangerous. They didn't even take the time to go and change out of their uniforms. "What is it?" I ask, trying to ignore my heart hammering against my rib cage. As usual Amelia is the first to speak up. "I'm sorry Heaven but we have some bad news." "What happened?" I don't know if I can handle anymore bad news. "It's James....." "He's dead, I know." I interrupt her, relieved that it's not something serious. I mean him dying is serious, especially if it's part of some elaborate plan for a reunion on Aurora's part, but it's at least something I already knew. "You know?" Amelia is surprised. "Yes." I

    It feels like it's been a while since I have had this kind of normalcy, the kind where we all sit together at lunch break, Ella's endless chatter and Kevin drooling over Amelia. Gosh, I even missed Phoebe though I would prefer it if she stopped thinking about my boyfriend so much, but she's finally giving up on trying to get with him especially now that she knows we are engaged. Well everyone knows and we have Ella to thank for that. Ella won't stop talking about mine and Sky's upcoming wedding. It should be irritating but it's not. I guess the fact that she's excited about it makes me happy, it's makes it feel like an actual wedding and not a solution to so many of my problems. "I have a question." Kevin says, looking at both Sky and I. "Are you guys really serious about getting married?" He asks and for a moment I think he's joking. "Because Evie you don't have to marry him just because you are pregnant. I know a guy who can help you o
