Jonathan.
How many more days have to pass till I realize the truth about Melissa. What more of a lie do I have to hear from her in order to get the truth?
Ever since Krulisa met me, and my brother in the forest, I've started doubting myself. Am I doing the right thing by staying next to Melissa? Am I being blinded by love that I can't see the truth? Or am I the fool here who just randomly doubts both sides.
I didn't know who to trust. I left everything on my fear plate as I kept thinking about how my life would be if I ever lost Melissa. Staying away from her for even a second made my heart go crazy. But also staying with her made me anxious about when she was going to spill the tea and tell me the truth.
I don't fear anything anymore. Losing my parents had made me realize that, even if I wasn't there for them, I can still stand
PART THREE- I AM NOTHING LIKE YOU. Hector I would be lying if I said I was doing fine all along. My heart feels like it would explode any moment from the fear of losing my daughter to a psycho evil vampire and her accomplice. One moment I try resting and the other moment I'm reminded of Krulisa. Things would've felt different if only I hadn't visited Raphael. Seeing the scroll, getting to know about the prophecy had left an impact on me now. I can't help but worry about my daughters. It is true. I knew Krulisa liked me. But I didn't want her to realize that I was aware of her feelings for me, her heart that lingered for me. I wanted to stay out of the family fights that she and Victoria would often have. One would talk about who got more love from their mother, while the other would blame her fo
Krulisa. One would say that the look on Hector's face had reminded them of their lost puppy! Seeing him right now, standing before me, I felt like a bad person they saw me as. His cheeks were wet with tears; his eyes were all red from crying, snot dripping out of his nose. What a different Hector I was looking at! I meant no harm. But I guess he was worried I was going to kill him. I just brought him here to tell him what I couldn't tell earlier. Back during our days. When we would go hunting and playing together with Victoria, Dorothea and Rose. Four girls and one boy. Those were some happy days I could never forget. I always wanted the past to come back. Because I gave up waiting for the future. It scared me to wait for another day. I feared something bad would happen and my fear got me. All I wanted was to be loved. But Victoria! Or dear Victoria! Did you have to take that all away from me? My home, my mother, my life and even Hector? Seeing Hector tod
VictoriaThat night, everything felt odd. I felt a part of me was in danger. I could hear the cries of a male voice in my head. I had no idea who it was or where it was coming from. I cleared my head sitting in the carriage as we were heading to the Nadarian Coven.My mind was all set to talk to Raphael. But I had no idea where to start. What was I actually going to ask him? And Nadarian's hated surprises. I have no idea what Raphael was going to say if he saw me here all of a sudden. I closed my eyes and started to think. Hector's face flashed in my memories. I smiled seeing him."I miss you." I whispered in silence. It's been days since I last saw him. I had this strange hope that I was not going to see him soon. I have no idea why I was thinking like that. I open my eyes back and notice our carriage entering the giant black gate."We are here." I say. "We made it to the Nadarian Coven."For a brief moment, I felt like there was a war coming. My head had started to spin as a sudden v
Jonathan. The night was chill and dark. I was the first to arrive at the forest. I gathered firewood and built a bonfire. My hands were freezing so I kept rubbing my hands above the bonfire. Today was going to be our second visit to the mountain side. To see Krulisa. My heart still fears visiting her. Every time I picture her in my head, I'm reminded of the Halloween movies where certain witches would go hunt children. She reminded me of those witches. The way she looked, the way she laughed. And even the way she talked. When she first told us about her speciality, I truly didn't believe her. I thought she must be lying. Or bluffing. But somehow, my heart feels like she must be telling the truth. She must be what she claims she is. I wait for more than ten minutes and no one shows up. "I guess they are still trying to patch things
Mark. For an instant moment, I felt like what Jonathan said was true. It was true that I was falling for Alicia. Although I've barely talked with her, Alicia has this different speciality that makes her attractive. I want to stick with the plan with Krulisa. But the truth is, it's not my fault that my heart feels attracted to Alicia. I know my brothers would blame me for loving the girl that killed our parents. But I bet you, slowly, they will all fall for them. Even if it's just me and Jonathan who feel the love, sooner or later, they will all feel their hearts linger for the girls. It's always cold on the mountain tops. My hands were freezing. But this time, we made sure to come prepared. I carried the lantern, Henry carried some food while the rest made sure to bring enough clothes to keep us warm. Today the snow looked even more piled up than yesterday. It felt like we were swimming our way through the snow in order to reach the top. We breathed heavily. I c
Catherine. The sky looked purple today. It reminded me of the time me and Reno would sit by the river side and talk about our blood colours. I would crush some berries and mix them with blue ink to see it turn purple. We always talked about how it would feel to have a baby of our own. I know this sounds crazy, but at times we both would fight over who our kids might look like. I would say Reno, while he would go with me. And at the end of the day, we would look at the purple mixture of ink and berries and hope that our kids take after the both of us. Thinking about those memories makes me tear up. I know it was just in the past but, ever since I started getting weak because of the spell shield, my head just keeps pulling back all the old memories. It's like, there will be no tomorrow to think of. I keep thinking about the past. Reno plays a huge part in all my memories. Every time I try thinking about the happiest moments of my life, Reno is in them. Because every g
Reno.By the time the sisters had left, the sun was already up. I and Ethel retreated back to our tree house and rested. Ethel looked dazed. He was worried the whole time since we came backHow could I possibly rest seeing that look on his face? The entire time I kept thinking about questioning him about his thoughts. But I'm scared. Seeing how he grabbed Catty's arms still makes me scared. I know, I sound like a coward Nadarian.He kept staring through the little window. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore. He needs to put those thoughts out of his head. Or the whole day is going to go bad."Ethel, you want to talk? You know I would understand you." Silence. He said nothing. It's as if I was talking to the hammock or the ceiling."Ethel, are you listening to me?" His head turned ar
Catherine. Day 25. The Heatherhalls Institute. I didn't want another day of practice to go bad. We missed three days already with no head girl and head boy training practices. Today, I prepared myself and my bow and arrows for archery training. Last time I almost broke down seeing how emotional Henry got while we were practicing. It was maybe really uncomfortable for him to practice with me because he had practiced with Isabelle all along. I miss Izzy so much. So basically, it was my weakness that made me look pathetic in front of the teacher. I can't believe I missed the bulls-eye for like five times repeatedly. This had never happened to me before. I was the best at archery and sword fighting. The teacher glared at me in doubt. I'm pretty sure he must be thinking how I ended up being the head girl with that poor skills. He let me take three breaks and then called me back. But I never got better. It looked like he was literally done with me. Why
Being a lost soul isn't easy. You never get to touch the one you care about, or make them believe that you exist, or even save them from all the dangers. I have been wandering around, looking at all the misery and happiness people have been facing. Who am I?Well,My name is Author. I am just a lost soul. I've been living in your shadows, trying to find comfort in the dark. Because the light has burnt my world and made me greedy. I've seen Catty grow and now, I'll follow her in this new path too...you want to find out more? Well, hold my hands. let me show you what happens next........~ Author~
Thirty three years later. 1st January 2023 "Catty, please open your eyes! Catty you're not dead! Please, I'm sorry. I'm sorry! Catttyyyyyy!" My eyes shot open. Once again I'm having those terrible nightmares. "What's wrong with these dreams?" I say to myself, rubbing my eyes. Why are my cheeks wet? I wipe the tears from my eyes. "I've been crying?" Weird. It's not just today. Almost every week, such nightmares come haunting me. And then there's this specific name that I keep hearing. "Reno." Stupid head! Stupid nightmares! I hated telling my dad about my nightmares. He would only ask me to go see a therapist, which I hated the most. I am not crazy! At times I would tell my little brother, Tyler all about it. He was only fifteen and thought I had some fantasy movie playing inside my head all night. "Hey! Are you awake?" There he is! The guy I was just talking about. "The door's open, Tyler. Get in!" He got inside, holding a pen and a book. "So, what have you seen today?
Henry. One day later. I've been practicing non-stop with my brothers. There was no rest, for the first time it felt weird to not sleep. Victoria let me and my brothers get our belongings from the institutes. Though Jonathan couldn't go, the rest of us sneaked in during the night and got everything. I found Krulisa's letters, rolled into balls and hid under my bed. "Someone must've been here!" I picked them up and tossed them in a box. And lastly, I found a new letter, folded neatly under my pillow. What surprised me were the words written on top of it. "My words......may they come true. From, Catherine Cross." Catherine wrote a letter? For whom? If she was in my room that means she might've seen Krulisa's letters. "She threw them under my bed…" the words sank in me. It hurt me to even think that she knew about Krulisa. Yet she embraced me with love when I met her outside. My tears dropped on top of the letter. I cry everytime Catty's thoughts flash in my head."I will foreve
Victoria My daughters did it. They saved the world from the wrath of Krulisa. Although the damage in the institute caught mortal attention, Dorothea and Rose helped me use the spell balls and wipe their memories. No students or anyone knows that The Journey Institute once existed. Nothing went according to the prophecy. Though we feared that Borham was the obstacle, little did we know that five mortals were involved too. Because of the Hudson brothers, Borham had his chance at getting Catty. And because of that, everything changed. My daughters had to make a sacrifice. I was surprised thinking how Melissa was so clever to come up with the plan of using their blood. When Ethel told me everything, I knew it. My daughters were the bravest and the cleverest children in the world. Melissa was always one step ahead at thinking. I didn't have to tell her about my father's sacrifice, she guessed it herself. About him using his blood to create the prophecy. You never get to enjoy what they
Author "Krulisa STOP!" Melissa shouted. Krulisa stood before them holding Principal Weathers by her neck. She laughed seeing the sisters before her. The institute looked like a war zone. Nothing in the interior looked the same it used to look. Only ruins remained. "Finally! The four of you together! You know how long I've waited here!" Krulisa laughed. She looked completely different. Her face looked better than before. It looked like she was reborn again. The immortal heart must've helped her. "Let her go!" Melissa felt nauseous seeing principal Weathers in pain. Her nose was bleeding as Krulisa tightened her grip, squeezing her neck to death. She dropped the body on the ground with a thud and grinned. "What makes you think you can order me? I have the immortal heart in me, I'm only an inch close to taking over the world. You really think you can STOP ME!" Her shouts echoed. Melissa's eyes were in pain seeing principal Weathers lifeless body. "We came this far, we can't just st
Author. The war was about to begin. Everyone prepared themselves. Catty's body was placed in a coffin. Principal Dorothea and Rose had finally met Victoria. The trio embraced each other. Shoulder to shoulder, bosom to bosom, their chins resting on each other's shoulders. Reno sat gazing at Catty's coffin. "I miss you." He whispered. All the happy memories of hers flashed in his head. Sad tears trailed down his cheeks as he thought about her. "There will never be another girl who will love me like you did, Catty." He whispered to himself.Victoria found him and sat next to him. "I wanted to tell you something. It's about your father." She took a deep breath. Reno could sense her next words. "Is he dead?" Tears dropped from his eyes. Victoria nodded, fighting her emotions. "I know you think he didn't love you. But everything he did was to save you and your people. He didn't want to lose you like Nala." Reno nodded. He turned to Victoria. The look on his face was a pity. I wanted
Author Henry fell on his knees. He didn't want to believe everything he witnessed. Tears dripped on his knees, his eyes were fixed at Catty's corpse. With Catty gone, the spell she casted died too. Krulisa walked next to Benjamin and picked the immortal heart along with the scroll of prophecy. "What is this?" Her eyes were scanning the scroll curiously. She smiled seeing the immortal heart. Henry was finally free. He slowly walked next to Catty's body. Hands trembling with sadness, as he touched her face. His tears dropped on her cheeks. "Hey…… You are not dead right? You- you're just pre- pretending isn't it? Catty? CATTYY?" He hugged her tightly and began weeping. Her body was cold as always. Her face, back to how she used to look, her hairs were all white now, with a little red stain of her blood.He wouldn't let go of her body. Pouring his heart out, he embraced her. "No no noooooo! Catty please come back to me! I am sorry, please, please come back to me!" Meanwhile, Kruli
Author. Krulisa stood facing her opponent, who she had waited to meet for days. Catty was just as frightened as Henry. She tried staying strong. But the pain kept getting worse now that Borham was trying to hold her back from attacking. Benjamin and Simon tried pulling Catty back, only to get rejected simultaneously. "I can't let you get hurt because of me!" She whispered to Simon. Krulisa glared at Catty. "You look just like your mother. Which makes me more angry!" "Well, I feel proud to hear that. You won't ever understand that feeling. Seeing how you've grown up, I believe you had a terrible past!" Said Catty. Borham pulled Krulisa aside and used a curse spell on Catty. "Bleed!" He said. And just then, blood started dripping from Catty's eyes, nose, and ears. Krulisa laughed, seeing her in pain. "Pathetic. Are you really the one that created this shield!? You look like someone who just woke up from the dead!" Catty screamed in pain. While Henry tried helping Catty, Simon an
Author Back at the Heatherhalls Institute, Simon's eyes shot open as he finally gained his consciousness back. Gasping hard for air, he looked around him. "Where am I?" He whispered. Principal Dorothea, who was sitting next to his bed, ran and threw her arms around him. "You are alive! You came back to me!" She cried. Principal Rose walked inside the room and found the duo hugging each other. She was just as surprised as Dorothea. Simon silently glared at nowhere. Looks like he was busy thinking about something else. "The Cross sisters, We have to warn them!" He said. Principal Dorothea looked at her friend and then back at her son. "Calm down, Simon. Tell us what happened to you? Who did this to you?" He shook his head in frustration. A part of him was still thinking about the event that took place in the mountains. His fight with Krulisa and Borham. "The Hudson brothers!" He said, gritting his teeth in anger. Principal Rose walked next to him. "What are you saying Simon? T
