I stood still as I read the message and looked at the picture over and over again. I just didn't understand, when did that happen? It couldn't be real. But it was real, it was them. I mean, was this when he didn't even know me yet?Was Connor in love with Carolina? But how? I don't understand anything. Even though I feeljealous seeing them together I can't get ahead of the facts, I can't judge without at least knowing how it all happened.Yes, I'm not going to be like he was with me, now I'll ask and talk things over. I wanted to delete the picture but I didn't, maybe it will come in handy later. I put my cell phone away and left Connor's apartment, looking for mine. I was nervous, but I couldn't mess up the plan we had. I had to focus on this first, and then that. I walked into my apartment and plopped down on the couch. It was still hours before five o'clock.-I looked in the mirror and was satisfied with what I wore. My black hair was loose, falling in waves at the ends. On my ne
Blake's face was transfixed, static, filled with terror at the sight of a gun in front of him.-Jade, what are you doing? Is this because I kissed you? Damn, I'm sorry," she defended herself. He just knew how to act well.-Stop pretending, Blake. I know that you murdered Pamela andthe other girl," I finally blurted out. It was time to take off our masks.His brow furrowed.-What are you talking about? Why do you think that? -he raised his hands.-Why? They were both dating you and after that they die, what a coincidence, isn't it? -I scoffed- there is a recording of the first day of class, Pamela was going to the backyard and you followed her but after that the recordings of the backyard disappear. The same with that other girl.-Jade, I don't understand anything. Yes, I was supposed to meet Pamela but she never showed up. I waited for her for several minutes but since school was starting soon I decided to leave. I thought she had stood me up. And with Clear we only dated for a week,
My swallowing was bitter, my throat felt funny. Even though my eyes were closed I could tell it was daytime. My nose smelled of disinfectant and roses. Like the roses Blake had given me. I felt around with my fingers where I was. Apparently I was lying on something soft, like a mattress. The fabric was thin, it felt icy.I opened my eyes slowly, noticing a white ceiling. It was not the ceiling of my room. As my vision was a little blurry, I blinked several times to clear it. In the distance I heard voices, murmurs, the beeping of something. Little by little they became clearer. A familiar face stood in front of me, calling my name followed by a smile. The girl was blonde, white complexion, she looked cheerful. I could recognize her as Carolina.-Kenzie, you woke up," I heard her say. You had me worried.I was in the hospital, it was obvious. But there was no one else in the room, just her.-Carolina... -My voice sounded scratchy and weak.-Shhhh, don't talk, you have to rest. You swal
Weeks later...Dance night.-I think that one looks perfect on you," Clara told me.We were in a store looking for our dresses for the ball. I was wearing a long black dress with sparkling stones. It was sleeveless and the neckline made my breasts stand out more. Since I lacked them, I liked it right away. Besides, I wanted something simple and quick.Clara had already chosen her dress, it was a long one in turquoise color. It had no sleeves and the neckline was the same as mine.-Yes, I think it's the one," I smiled at the mirror, "I'll take it off so we can go pay. -I went back into the dressing room.We had already bought the shoes and everything, mine had thin heels and so did Clara's. Her shoes had turquoise stripes and mine had shiny stones. Hers had turquoise stripes and mine had shiny stones. I think they matched well. It was late afternoon, almost dusk. We had come to look for dresses at the last minute. I took off my dress and put on my worn pants and shirt. I grabbed my pur
A year ago I arrived in a town. A town that, honestly, I didn't want to get to. However the things that happened, the people I met gradually became part of my life. I hated, laughed, cried and loved in that place and now, now I think I will miss it. I will miss the lake, the forest. My home.The graduation had been beautiful, we were all together. There was Anne, Thomas, Kayler and me. The four of us went to the lake, sat looking at the moonlight. Just us. Just love. And now I will miss them. Especially Anne, who has been a good friend, despite all the things she went through a few months ago, Apollo's death, Thomas' lies and all. It was hard. But in the end they are fine. Canada will be nice for her.About nine hours ago we had left town, Kayler and I would be going to the same college. In Waterville. It's obvious that we can't be apart, I'm going to study hotel management and he.... He didn't really want to study anything but he can't be without me. Or so he told me. But in the end
-Pizza? -I asked Kayler, who was standing in front of me. The waiter had brought us a family pizza just for the two of us.He nodded.-It's your favorite, isn't it?The truth was, but just at this moment I don't want to. However, perhaps he was right. I had to eat, as my appetite craved other things. And I have to fill up on pizza, even if I don't want to, to stop the hunger.Kayler started to eat, so I imitated him. When I tasted the pizza I felt a strange taste, it was obvious, it didn't feel the same. But using all my willpower I managed to swallow.I heard a chuckle from Kayler.-You should see your face, anyone would say you are suffering.I raised my eyebrows and set my lips in a single line.-Kayler, have you ever... Eaten... humans? -I muttered under my breath. I looked at him intently. He gave me a strange look, left his pizza on his plate.-Never," he answered confidently. Eating humans is forbidden for us. At least for our herd.I looked down at my plate. Kayler can't know
Kayler grabbed my arm and almost dragged me away from the others, towards the entrance of the university. I was beside myself, I felt like crying, I had killed a person. I had done it. I feel so guilty and so bad that I don't think my life will be normal and peaceful from now on.We stopped.-Can you explain that to me? -he asked somewhat softly. He folded his arms expectantly.-Kayler, I don't know what happened. -I said without looking at him. My hair was down, my black jacket kept me warm from the cold drizzle that sometimes hit us.He approached me, taking my chin, forcing me to look at him. I think my eyes were red.-We have to figure this out. It couldn't have been you. I was with you last night. -But then I fell asleep....-It's obvious, Kayler, I didn't want to tell you because I thought it wasn't important," I pulled out of his grip. He was surprised, "Ever since I got here I've been hungry, but not hungry like normal people, I wanted to murder a boy. That boy. -I lowered my
Kayler had dropped me off in my classroom, it was large. I had chosen a chair at the back, next to the wall. I couldn't even concentrate, my mind kept thinking about what I had done. What I didn't even remember. The teacher was explaining something on the blackboard, something about tourism and that, this was supposed to be a new life. And it turned out to be hell.-Miss Lane? -The professor's voice brought me out of my thoughts, and I looked up. I was met with green eyes, blond hair and a fair complexion. Was he a teacher or a student? Because he was very young, and his well-endowed body didn't escape my notice either.I cleared my throat.-Excuse me, Professor? -I mumbled, I didn't even know his name.The boy was handsome, but not as handsome as Kayler, yet he was going in the same direction.-No problem, I just want you to pay more attention, okay?I nodded, putting my lips in a single line. Anyway I listened to him and paid attention for the two hours of class, it had helped me to
I woke up feeling voraciously hungry. It was like he hadn't eaten in days. I got up and sat on the bed, still groggy from sleep. Next to me was Elder, fast asleep. Had I been the one to awaken the wolf in him? Thinking about it scared me a bit... I got out of bed and went to the kitchen, but when I opened the fridge I saw that there was nothing inside: no meat, no vegetables, not even yogurt... How was I going to satisfy my hungry now? I took a deep breath to calm myself and tried to think clearly. He needed to find food... or something that could replace it for now. I suddenly remembered that Elder had some bottles of blood kept in his closet. I took them and opened them quickly; I needed to drink that fresh blood before fully transforming into a wolf.Breakfast ready: I went to the kitchen and got some eggs, bacon and hashbrowns from the fridge. I put them in the pan to fry them with olive oil. There wasn't much to do for breakfast, but I wanted it to be special because it was Eld
Elder kissed me passionately, his lips moving against mine in perfectly timed fashion. His hands ran down my back and he held me close to him, making our bodies merge into one. I wanted so badly to make love right now, to feel his warm body inside mine… But then Elder jerked away. "We can't," he said hoarsely. "The other wolves will be watching us." I was frustrated and disappointed, but I knew he was right. Although we couldn't be together yet, knowing that Elder felt the same way about me filled me with hope for the future.''fuck it'' he snapped and kissed me even more. Elder stared into my eyes and I got lost in his gaze. His lips moved against mine and his hands trailed down my back, pulling me close. I wanted so much to make love right now, to feel his warm body inside mine... Elder slowly took off his shirt, exposing his muscular torso. I stared at him, surprised by his beauty. Then I realized that he was naked too... and I was not wearing any clothes. Our eyes met and in that i
ELDERElder left the boarding school looking for Amara. He was carrying a flashlight and a knife, but he had no idea where to start looking for her. It was totally dark and cold outside, and Elder knew that wolves were dangerous in such conditions. But he was desperate to find his girlfriend, so he walked resolutely into the forest. The full moon shone through the treetops and Elder could easily see his way through them. Suddenly he heard a noise: it was as if something was moving right behind him... could it be Amara? He turned quickly, but there was no one there. He felt a chill as he thought that maybe it was a wolf following him to attack him… Shaking those terrifying thoughts from his head, Elder kept moving forward until he reached the skylight. There he saw Amara: she was sitting in the center of the clearing, completely immobilized by fear. Her eyes were wide and Elder guessed that he must be seeing the wolf slowly approaching her... Elder was sitting on the ground, his back ag
I woke up when I felt hands on my neck. I still couldn't open my eyes, but I realized that she was being kidnapped. She felt my attacker's rough breathing and the smell of sweat on her fingers. They took me up a steep path until I was finally able to open my eyes. She was in the middle of an unknown forest, surrounded by tall, bushy trees. There was no one in sight except my kidnapper, who introduced herself as Melania. It was obvious that she was a werewolf: she had the same physical characteristics as me and she smelled just like them. However, I did not perceive any trace of the pack to which she belonged; she must be a loner. "What do you want?" I asked her with a shaky voice. "Oh, I just wanted to meet you," she replied, smiling forcefully at me. "You've been hard to find." I didn't know how to answer him, so I remained silent, staring into her bright green eyes. I suddenly saw her lips part from her to reveal a pair of sharp fangs… and she then she attacked me! "Don't you dare do
''Amara, please relax,'' Flavia tells me, but I felt weird making out with her. She's a lesbian, I'm not. I felt so close to her that I could smell the sweet vanilla scent of her skin. Her lips were so close to mine... It was all I could do not to kiss her. She knew that if she did, she wouldn't be able to stop. So I stayed still and tried to suppress my desire. But then she moved even closer and her lips brushed against mine... I couldn't resist any longer, so I kissed her hard. She answered me immediately and her hands began to explore my body. I felt like she was on fire... Never before had she felt like this with anyone. Our tongues intertwined over and over again in a passionate dance, our bodies pressed against each other... I wanted to get her out of the car and take her somewhere where we could be alone, but I knew it was dangerous: if we were found out, we could seriously hurt the relationships between our families. So we finally broke apart, both gasping from the intensity o
The full moon peeked through the forest, unable to rest. She felt like the Moon was snowballing her way from this planet to the other, and all she saw was drastic changes in natural tracks until the end of time. So she listened to something very harsh from the Moon that had begun its journey to the oceans for seven million years and she did not know when she would be next to her love again. She was a kind of spiritual member of the Space Wind, for that reason he felt her presence with more intensity and breathed the laughter of his answers, until the Sun went out...The fire was so big that the sky looked like a very luminous black cloth. Elder knows that the full moon is special because there are wolves like him in the forest, but he has never seen a light so bright to see them. Under the fire, his eyes were white and disenchanted.''Elder'' his father called him and the full moon came to his door. The wolf was very sad and asking for help to get out of this situation, Elder replied:
The next day Amara received classes at the boarding school; the first thing she left behind was a sheet of text with the words she had written to him. She was as if she was with nobody, and so she was more and more: most of the time she was left alone, until finally her mother no longer visited or called.Despite the fact that the last time he spoke to him was last Friday, yesterday morning he was in his room around noon; already with a white shirt and black pants, with his small glasses hanging in his right hand. Just like every other day, he approached the front door of the room, but never entered it. He barely felt his presence and just said "What is it?" sometime, but no more. The day before was similar, however. Once he told her that she was never coming back, and he asked if he wanted to see her as soon as he could, he was able to contain himself to crack a smile and reply, "Yes, I'll send you."And there then, before he wasted it, he put on his father's white t-shirt and field
''Please let me go,'' I begged Jean Paul's father. She had me kidnapped."I won't, Amara, until Jean Paul shows up"Love and love, dear father of Jean Paul. It doesn't make your grave bigger. Memories of you remain forever in my heart...The clock had already run out for the whole day: night had not yet come. Sometimes the bed was a kind of life, as if it were his own land; other times the bath or the enemas seemed if they were pieces of art. In the best of cases, that was my last breakfast of loneliness and rajones. The father's face was looking at each other while he cried and thought.In the friendly environment of the bedroom, the father tried to convince me that I would give myself to him soon, but I preferred to hide on the way out.After all, the entrance door of the dormitory was full of prisoners. An insider informed us that the bosses were in the courtyard, where they were talking to the guards who were going to look for Jean Paul. The afternoon had already ended and the roa
Amara and her friends Flavia and Mell spent a lovely afternoon at their picnic. Heaven made it feel like they were going to dance, but it wasn't anything wrong. The park was full of corn, water and forests that seem to blow. The children had fun along the way. Of course, Amara started talking to them about the big things: the police, the Templars, the gang members, and the little drugs… Well, some of the other characters had other ideas. Like the Carnival mask, which is a person that Amara doesn't understand why she likes it so much. That gave Flavia and Mell a bit of a spark… I don't know if she meant to be carnivalesque, but maybe it was a great idea. Finally everything ended perfectly. And Amara and her friends came out with the magic of Carnival. The girl told her that although I don't know who she was, she was a very good person.The next day, Amara went to her class and woke up in a huge rush. She felt like the hours of sleep were lacking. Taking advantage of her energy, she did
