My mouth falls ajar.

She is going to let me be a Phoenix? I wasn't aware of that. I only knew I had the blood in me and was forbidden to let anyone on this earth know about it but...

"Don't question yourself, Laura. With me by your side, you've got nothing to worry about." My old lady says. Giving her a little hug, she tells me to go back to the castle while pretending the Sirens took me to a location that I've known for trade. For the moment, I could only think about the Trade bureau of the city.

I look at the blue civic part ways while we go up the hill. The tear drop from my eye slowly cascades along my cheek and chin, dripping on my hand. It's only then I realise the mental pressure that was put onto me since then.

When I come back to the Palace which was around the time of lunch, I meet Jasmine first.

"Shall we give a quick revision on how to eat like a badass princess?" The eleven year old grins while we make a run towards the table for lunch. But we stop instantly on our tr

    My shocked form turns around slowly. Why was I even giving a bloody reaction? Midway, I change to a neutral facade and look at Gorius who stands in his infamous stance. Hands behind his back."What are you doing here... Luna? And your highness." He bows and shows respect to Eden. Wait... who is Eden actually?"I am just here for a walk, Gorius. Nothing to worry about." I say to him."I'd decide that for myself. To find it worrisome or not." He talks rudely to me. I find it rather odd, that he talks so politely to Eden and so bad to his Luna. Sensing Eden move forth towards Gorius, I step in a hear to their conversation."You still haven't said anything to my brother, I believe.""Not a word, your highness." What? I was moist confused.Gorius walks away without further awaiting. Eden gives me a smile that I read to be mischievous. He might be hiding something from everyone. "Don't say this to anyone yet, please." He says and I walk towards him, cutting the distance and improving secre

    "Whoa..." I'm not a person to be surprised easily. But my mother right here managed to tell me who is the boss of every game. She is. As a Phoenix. I gulp and take a few steps ahead to her. She fixated her gaze on me and suddenly starts flapping her wings softly. It was enough to raise the dust above, I cover my nose and mouth while still looking at her through the dust."Wow, mother. I'd look like that with wings?" I ask her with silliness. She chuckles and comes back down to the ground. Her wings are almost so tall on her that they drag behind her feet. She lifts one of them, slowly and gently so the speed doesn't scare me like before."Feel it. That's what a healthy wing looks like." Mom says. I smile and ask her the next question."Will I be ready by next week, mother? I don't plan on staying there for long." I let her know. She smiles, softly like a mama bird. The irony. "You'll be ready by a week." Her eyes blink slowly, conveying her love for me. Hugging her with the wings s

    Lucien smiles at me, praising me wordlessly for how I look. What did I even look for him? In his eyes, I was just a woman. But I was so wrong.The way the world stops spinning just for me, the lights are focused on him while he makes me the centre of his universe with that gaze. I couldn't force myself to stop, but as we reach the rooftop, a loud bang in the air brings me out of my thoughts. My eyes widen."L-Lucien..." the sky was painted with warm hues of orange and red with fire. The fireworks that explode makes me think of an art, even if it was momentary in the sky. Tears start pooling in my eyes."The world doesn't need to know, but you are my queen anywhere, anytime. I love you, Laura." My tears were given a reason. Crashing into his body, I see up and see the fireworks drowning down in the atmosphere but it still looked so beautiful. The pack members must be confused upon the appearance of such a huge firework in the air.This was a confession.A confession from a monster tha

    Gorius was worried for a reason. When we get to the arena, we see the man fighting off the greasy Banshees. They are like infinite in number and we, especially me with my vision can hardly make out where he is!To be honest, I was worried for Lucien at the moment. "I can't see him!" The girl beside me shouts. "We can't even kill them! How long is he going to keep up with them!?" The other woman shouts in vain. Indeed, I've heard that from many people now. Banshees are the worst taboo when killed.Like the souls of humans who seek revenge, Banshees are even worse at this game. They hint down the very souls of the werewolves who kill them, and if that wasn't enough, they haunt everyone else who is associated with that Werewolf. When Lucien and Jasmine narrated a few incidents to me the other night, I was flabbergasted to say the least.Banshees are truly, the worst.But none beats a Siren in terms of revenge though. They follow what we call as revenge. For sirens, it's a game. They

    Things have been going pretty smoothly since then. People have started to put their trust in me. I was the one who saved their beloved king from perpetual damage and impeding bad luck, but mistakes have been made. We did not realize it, not even when the guards were collecting the bodies of the deceased banshees and none pointed out that one body.That one body whose neck was twisted and no needle across their corpse.Matters were taken lightly, and since then... Lucien and I have gotten even more closer. Unexpected. I did not expect the puppy love of his to thaw my heart like this. The love and care in his eyes makes me melt every time.Like right now too."Do you want some more?" He asks me for the beans whilst I gently shake my head. A smile on my face of course. "You may continue, love." I swear I heard the group of bad natured women beside me growl underneath their breaths. But hey, I've also discovered one thing. I love irritating and annoying people. Especially my foes. The

    "Super freaky, huh?" My consequences have an identity and a name. It's Lucien. Sighing heavily, I turn around to find Lucien waving off to the guy who holds an umbrella above his head. Taking the glasses off, Lucien walks across me to open the car door."You're right, Jasmine. The driver shall be disturbed. That's why it's only me and Laura going to the site, aight?" Lucien says and I almost feel my ears bleeding. Did I hear that right? With sheer anxiety, I get inside as the driver quickly makes his way out of the seat. I watch the tall man walk around the deck of the car and occupy the driver's seat beside me.For a fun fact, I haven't ever been invited to sit in the shotgun seat. It was always me with my bike or the lounge like seating behind. I smile at Jasmine who shakes her head at something Lucien does behind my back. Eden was right there behind Jasmine, coming down the stairs. Waving at him, he gives a much enthusiastic as well as a sassy wave. I know what he means by that.

    Lucien's POV Her brown hair is entangled into my bare arm. She sleeps soundly, and I shall curse myself if she was awake because of me. Gently putting her back on the bed after freeing myself from her locks, I realize we were kind of sweating. Smiling nonetheless, I see her turn in her sleep. Deciding to get a few things cleared from my thoughts, I get up to walk towards the balcony.Filling myself a glass of red wine, I sip the savory sweet flavor which eases my mind. Just a bit. I wish there was a sure way to see through the future and predict things right away. Since morning, there has been an undying thought inside me. "What if the closest person to you betrays you?" It was like my inner consciousness was fighting against the world. When that question came to my mind, the only person I thought of was Laura.She has become the epicenter of my whole existence. I didn't care about the world. Heck! I was even ready to give up on the title of the King for her! I am that bound to her

    What could they sirens be thinking now?The question has been lingering in my mind for way too long now. A glass of wine in my hand and a person staring comcernlynat my back. Turning around, I find Laura wanting to speak something, but far too shy to do so."You can tell me, Laura." It has been a few hours since the sirens have poofed into thin air. Laura has been concerned for the kingdom since then.Or maybe she is just thoughtful for herself and her hidden plan with the Sirens. Blood loving, ungracious sirens."Calm and collected. How are you experienced with their disappearance." Her shoulders up and body stiff, she asks me."Well," The breeze falls on my bare back as I smile, "They never left a note. Nor can I determine who was that for." I say. There is an unexplained contour in her face as I see under the moonlight. She approaches me, like a cautious deer against the lake shore,"Then I'll be blessed if it was for you." Saying, she kisses my cheek to go to sleep. I smirk, under

    Varca was brave enough to think he could stand up to Kohl and Lucien. He was confused when he was overpowered by the strongest male duo that ever walked on Earth. He stood up again, his body made a dent in a low hill after Kohl kicked him into it. His battle spirit was slowly fading, and he looked down at the giant hole in his chest. He was bleeding from his mouth and bleeding from his chest. His heart had gone missing. And when everything looked like a blissful win for the werewolf-man duo, Varca clicked his fingers, and an abnormal amount of smoke just spread through, all around the shore of Bepal. The ships were spreading it. They were crushing a bunch of neurotoxin which the vampires are immune to. They were a blend of...wolfsbane. Kohl realised his dirty plan when he saw the humans falling to their knees, sucked out to the last drop by vampires. He growled at Varca, charging at him with a stake of a broken roof in his hand. "ARGH!" Varca cried, coughing out blood. "You w

    [2 days ago, South Bepal shore]The shore was quiet and the sea smelled great. The shore bred warmth from the coastline it touched, the south side was especially warm during afternoons. A fisherman's boy from the shoreline village was playing with his red male doll. It looked like the Fritz, twelve inches in height and almost too realistic like a baby. As he sunk the toy in the clear, wavy water I've the shore's receding wave, he felt the joy of drowning his doll. His intention was to make it swim on its own. However, there came the shore hitting wave again. But it was dyed like the color of hell.He noticed the red ink like fluid spread with the water. He didn’t realise. After all, he was just a kid. His he's turned to the other side slowly. Beyond his little boat anchored to safety was a hovering troop of red eyed monsters.He knew right away about their species. He yelled,"B-BLOODSUCKERS!!"

    Raya watched the young lady descend on the palace terrace softly. Her wings followed her mind and remained attached to her back. Raya smiled at the young lady who skipped towards her like an enthusiastic child. "How was the view from up there?" Asked Raya."It was awesome!" She answered simply. Eden embraced Raya's side as she asked the man to let her go, just for a while."I gotta talk to Laura about something. Give me a minute." Whispering to him, she places a kiss on his cheek when he nods his head. She leaves his embrace to fetch Laura, to talk to her."Um, hey. You got a minute for me? I know you're busy, but it's kind of important." Laura and Kathleen turned towards Raya who gently asked her. Kathleen pushed her chin towards Raya, looking at Laura as the Phoenix got the green signal."I'll be right back!" Said Laura to Tony who wanted to cling to her while the ceremony started."What do you wanna talk about?" Laura asked with a soft smile,"Um, before that, could you keep the c

    Eden and Raya were sincerely missing out on everything good that was happening around the palace and the Siren Kingdom. They've deliberately avoided everyone after an hour of lovemaking.But, no matter how much they've washed each other and relieved from the scent of sex, Laura and Tony could sniff out everything within a second. Tony looked at Laura with a knowing gaze, his face all scrunched up in disgust while Laura tried not to laugh at him. They watched Eden come first, trying to hug Laura and Raya nonchalantly walk behind him. Their combination was lethal in Laura's eyes.One was a golden retriever puppy and the other was a great old sea serpent who was half as wise as Eden. She is an old soul after all, she knew nothing about the modern age and how invaluable having sex is considered in the recent times. "Um, you two smell funny." Tony said frankly, without thinking twice about the situation. Kathleen was right behind them as she checked out sea jewelry from a cute Siren maid

    Days passed by.Raya could never have felt this peaceful amongst the most chaotic trio she's ever seen. They're always breaking something or the other. They're clumsy and childish.But all three separately were more mature and understanding that most ripe humans. At present, Raya watched Laura bring a baby siren close into her arms and whisper sweet nothings to the upset baby. It seems as though the baby had an indigestion problem, and as soon as Laura let a drop of her tear seep into the baby's smooth blue skin, it stopped crying almost instantly. Laura's wings furled inwards as she provided the needed warmth to the Siren baby."Magical, isn't it?" Kathleen said from behind Raya. The woman who was leaning against the huge door frame of the palace entrance stood straight in her presence. Out of respect. "Yes, indeed. She's a healer. She was born for this." Raya said in a soft voice in admiration. Her gaze turned towards the two boys who gave company to the rest of siren children pla

    The door barged open as the sirens spilled inside. Raya flinched and looked behind herself."W-we heard someone falling to the floor, your highness! Is everything alright!? Are you alright?" Eden chuckled at the cute teenager sirens who barged in to 'check' on their deity. They find a single, non exclusive excuse to rush into the room, hoping to see their Sea Serpent diety just once. It looked like a terrible, annoying trick to Raya. Alas, she was too tired to even react to them."Nothing is wrong, you all. Have you ever heard of privacy?" Eden asked the teenagers amusingly. "What is that?"Raya stared at them with a blank expression. Were they pretending to be clueless or were they really unfamiliar with such terms?Eitherway, Eden limps towards them and closes the door behind himself."Do you want to rest beside me?" He was shy, scratching his head and shuffling his feet as he asked.'Not so cocky now, I see.' Raya thought in her mind. Without another word said, she crawls up int

    Laura and Kathleen kept the sleeping man company. They sat beside him, Laura held his hand and prayed that his body would heal quickly. Even if she induced his system with her powers of healing, his body wouldn't be able to take the rapid change which would complicate his wellbeing even more.As said by many; time is the best healer of all wounds.However, that phrase never seemed to work on Laura for the past two years. Time changed nothing for her. Her emotions were the same as she had them two years back.Thinking about it made her sick, because all she could do was think about it. Her mind couldn't take any woven shit from her anymore, so she decides by herself to walk out of her thinking lane into a new one.A brighter one.Tony was kept company with the other sirens of his age. He was still a humanoid boy, thanks to Laura's transmatter powers that he was still a cute little seventeen year old boy.Eden had his eyes closed.For a brief while, he could feel the air shift around hi

    Eden's attempt to warn the sirens was proving futile. He wasn't able to warn them that a snake like creature that brought him to the shore, swimming around the world for hours, was sinking to the bottom of the ocean.He couldn't express in words that he was an escapee, and the one who helped him reach the kingdom was from the other herd of enemies.Laura followed the troop of Sirens who began running towards the said shore. She had her gigantic wings take her towards the rocky shore. In a brief memory of how she had been crying over and over again over a person the night before, she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the person's cousin in the scene.She gasped, making other sirens aware of the threat.Spears made of thick seashells were pointed towards him. Laura landed right behind him, and the male turned around with his wavy, wet and black hair flowing with his movements. "Laura! It's...it's a Basilisk. I'll tell you everything but she's sinking!

"No wonder you're so lucky in escaping us all." Eden chuckled at Raya. "Of course. Our baby centaur is kind hearted too. And he eats nothing but carrots. And the horse that you saw me with at the cliff...that's Roy. He's my best buddy. I could speak to him about quite literally anything." Raya jumped her eyebrows at Eden's words."I can't believe werewolves at all. You guys are the worst examples of half human and half animal." Eden laughed heartily. The ice cream tub was finished by the time they finished gossiping as well. Raya was getting way too attached to this stranger. His presence was making her feel super comfortable, as in giving her peace and tranquility against all that happened before. "Well, I have something for you."
