"I bet that she isn't awake yet" Rus said to Demi as they both walked to Elle's apartment.
"C'mon man, I doubt that. Give the girl some credit" Demi defended Elle and Rus scoffed.
"As if"
The both of them continued their walk in silence till they got to Elle's apartment, and to Rus's greatest surprise Elle stood in front of the door in a properworkout outfit.
"I told you to give the young girl some credit" Demi said to Rus; who was staring at Elle in shock.
"Oh! You guys are here, I've been waiting for over 10 minutes now" Elle said and walked over to the them.
"Well you can't blame us now, we were expecting you to be late" Rus said bluntly.
Elle looked at Rus with a sweet smil
"Do you have any idea how she's doing?" Mamock asked worriedly as Demi walked into the cove. Demi shook his head with a little smile on his face "I've not seen her since I left her in the morning, but I'm sure she's doing okay. She's a strong one" "I hope so too" "Mamock, what are you going to do about her request of yesterday?" Ruri asked and Mamock sighed deeply, remembering all that happened yesterday. Ruri barged into the cove with a breathless Elle trailing behind her "Why won't you just answer me?" Elle asked as she held Ruri's hand to stop her from walking. "Because I don't know! I have nothing to tell you! Is that so hard to understand?" Ruri answered angrily, her voice rising a few octaves
Elle walked out of the cove and started heading home. She definitely knows something is wrong but she chose to ignore it, she has personally decided to let things be and in that way, it'll be easier for her to learn what she has to and put an end to all this. "God, my life used to be simpler. What on earth happened?" She asked herself quietly and kept walking. "Hey!!" "Oh my God" Elle shouted and placed her hands on her chest, while Daisy stood on her shoulders laughing her ass off. "What the hell Dais, you scared me" Elle said, trying to sound annoyed but a playful smile was tugging at the corners of her lips. "I thought it'd be funny and it was, so forgive me for having fun" Daisy said in a sassy tone and the both of them burst into laughter. "Good! Now that t
Elle opened her eyes when the alarm rang and quickly shut it off. Demi gave it to her the other day and that's why she she wasn't worried about waking up late as, she stayed up quite late yesterday night trying to figure out the connection between the three files. "I miss the days my only worry was school" she muttered to herself as she stepped out of her bed and walked to the bathroom. She cleaned herself up with cold water, letting it relax and soothe her muscles for the day's activity. After that she dressed up in a black sports bra and a black leggings, then a black canvas to match with it "I look like I'm going to my funeral or something" she said as she stared at her reflection in the mirror "whatever" she sighed before walking downstairs to clean up her injuries and make herself a smoothie. "We are here!" Demi said, loud enough for her to
He laid there all curled up in the swing bed like a baby, he looked so peaceful and angelic. Elle stood there staring at his face, slowly saving his image in her head. The way his nose stood so pointed, the scar that ran across his cheekbone which she wanted to touch so badly, his sharp jawline, his lashes that put hers to shame and his thin lips "This is what I mean when I say that God has a favorite" she said as her eyes kept running over his face. "Elle!" Ruri's voice called out snapping her out of her trance and she turned towards them "are you okay?" She asked in a worried tone, not believing that she actually walked into the ball shield unharmed "I'm fine" she said with a smile and thumbs up, when suddenly a bright light flashed from the swing bed nearly blinding her, She shielded her eyes with her hands "what on Earth!" "Oh my God! Elle are you okay?" Mamock
Elle flung her door open and slammed it close in anger, she quickly marched up to her room and laid on the bed. The anger clearly radiating from her body and sooner than later, it turned into tears. She let out her anger, frustration and pain through the tears."what's wrong with you Elle!? You shouldn't be fucking crying over that asshole, you have better things to do than cry" she slowly sat up from the bed and wiped her face "I can't believe I was crying because of that asshole" she stood up from the bed and started removing her sweat drenched clothes from her body.She walked into her bathroom and filled the tub with warm water, she sat in the tub for a long while wondering what to do next and how to sort out all the riddles in front of her. She submerged for a little while longer, then stepped out of the bathroom."Okay. Let's read up on Amanda's
Elle woke up with a beautiful smile on her face, she definitely knows that she's going to do well in today's training "Ah I can't wait to see Rus today, knowing I won't give him a chance to nag" she muttered happily to herself, putting on her workout outfit.She was still tying the second leg of her converse when a loud knock interrupted her, she turned towards the clock on her bedstand "I still have 20 minutes before they come, so who's here?" The knock came again this time louder, she hurriedly tied her shoelace and rushed downstairs almost tripping on the stairs."Good to see you're ready, let's go" Rus said the moment she opened the door."You're here earlier than usual, I haven't eaten anything yet" Elle said, silently refusing to move.Rus turned towards her with a mocking smile on his face"Well, you have this tendency of wasting time on the simplest of things so, I decided to give you more time" &nb
Anthony sat on his office going through the reports of the children, a smile etched on his face at their progress; they have mastered most of their abilities and their physical strength is going up too."This turned out better than I expected" he said as he read through the last report, he sighed happily and dropped the last report. He reclined back on his chair, swinging it around and enjoying his little achievement when a knock broke him out of his little bubbly world.He sat upright on the chair and looked at the door"Come in" a young girl in her late twenties dressed in a black hoodie and a black leggings, walks into the office and causally sits on one of the chairs."I've got information" she said, inspecting her nails. Anthony sat up, his curiousity peeking up"What's the information, Night?" He asked trying to soun
"okay, it's time for the last stage of your physical training. You've done well with the other ones, I'm sure they've built you up for this last stage by; building up your speed, agility and strength" Demi stated proudly, while Elle listened with a prod smile on her face.It's been a week since her last training, it honestly hasn't been easy managing her training while trying to get answers to her numerous questions and it's safe to say she hasn't gotten anywhere. Rus didn't make it any easier with his horrible mood and annoying attitude but Demi's calmness and gentleness made it easier.She also spent the past days regularly visiting Ansel, she can't explain it but there's this gentleness and peace whenever she's around him; she can't figure out if it's his energy or the serenity or the place, but staying beside him and talking to him even tho he obviously doesn't respond makes her feel so much better.
The creatures stood before the graves of those that they lost during the fight, all dressed in white paying their last respect to them. "It is indeed unfortunate and painful that we lost our loved ones to this fight, but let us not remember them with sad thoughts but by their heroic deed," Ansel said to the creatures who had tears streaming down their eyes "the ritual has been completed, let us all go home and morn them in the comfort of our homes" he concluded and everyone started dispersing, going their separate ways. He stood there looking at the creatures till the cemetery was empty and he then turned towards Elle who gave him a sad smile, "let's go" he said and stretched out his hand which Elle took gratefully as they both walked to the cove where the wolves, the turned vampires, Ruri and Demi were all waiting for them. Elle cleared her throat the moment they got to the cove, drawing their attention to her as she s
Elle stood there glaring at Anthonio while he kept looking at her with a smile plastered on his face "let her go" she said with clenched teeth, making Anthonio's face morph into a scowl."Last I checked, I don't take orders from you," he said in an angry tone making Elle take a few steps back in fear "I should have just killed you a long time ago, you wouldn't have become a problem now and you will probably just be resting with your parents" he stated and Elle's eyes widened."What did you just say?!" She asked in a low and angry tone, her eyes darkening."Ahh, I never told you," he said and smiled at her "I'm not your father and Anna is not your mother. You are a stolen child." Elle whimpered when he said that."Where are my parents?!" She managed to voice out, trying to swallow down the pain in her voice.Anthonio pointed two fingers on his forehead and made a shooting sign "Dead, dead and dead. They were stupid enough to refuse the deal I made t
ONE WEEK LATERElle was sleeping peacefully when screams and stampedes woke her up, she immediately sat up on her bed and started looking around frantically when a heavy knock came on her door.She stood up from the bed, dressed in the shorts and top she wore to sleep and took the wristwatch that Mamock got her and rushed downstairs, manipulating the watch into a sword on her way down."Who is there?" She asked leaning on the door with the sword raised up, ready to swing."Elle it's me Ruri! We are under attack!" Ruri shouted, almost out of breath. Elle immediately opened the door and rushed out."What did you just say?""We are under attack, the realm warriors are upfront trying to keep it under control" Ruri explained as the both of them ran off together."What about the others? Have they been taken to safety?""Mamock is in charge of that, we have to hurry Elle," Ruri said and increased her pace."Is it Anthonio?" Rur
Ansel stood in front of Elle, patting her head softly "Are you ready?" He asked in a low tone and she nodded reluctantly.Today is the day they will be going back to their time frame, she spent the entire night with the others having a slumber party and it was her way of saying goodbye."Let's leave already, I might change my mind if we spend a minute longer here," Elle said, trying to lighten up the mood. Truth be told, she doesn't want to go back, this time frame is a lot more lively and peaceful and she doesn't have to worry about a thing, but then she can't just let everything fade away because of her selfishness.Ansel smiled at her and pulled her into his arms "either way, you will still have to go back. You don't belong to this time after all" he said to her, rubbing her cheek softly."Shut up"He let out a little laugh before he started muttering something making Elle gasp in pain
Anthony stood before the mirror, adjusting his tie till he was okay with it. He looked at himself one more time before taking his phone and briefcase and walked downstairs.Anna stood in the kitchen, looking a lot thinner and paler than before, Anthony placed a quick kiss on her cheek and sat down on a dining chair "Good morning, is the food almost done?" He asked, placing his briefcase beside him."Oh yes, it's done. Give me a minute" she said, bringing out plates from the shelf. She immediately dished out the pasta and placed it before him "here"He looked at the food and gave her a warm smile "You aren't eating?" He asked when he noticed there was no plate in front of her.Anna sighed and shook her head "No, I'm not really hungry"Anthony dropped his fork and grabbed her hand softly "Is this about Elle again?" He asked in a soft voice, making Anna release a deep breath. "Listen, I'll find her and I'll kill her for making you go through this, and
"So let's get started with mind manipulation, I knew from the beginning that this will be the hard part for you," Ansel said to Elle, they were both seated in his office."So you were planning to make a full appearance once I've mastered the two other abilities?" Elle asked with an amused smile."Well, you can say that. You mastered the other two with little to zero help, so my guess is this won't be as hard as I thought it would be" He said, standing up from his chair and walking over to her picking up a book."You already know that everything is run and controlled by energy, am I right?" He asked, raising an eyebrow and Elle nodded in agreement. He smiled and placed the book before her "can you see or feel the energy of this book?"Elle looked away from him and fixed her gaze on the book "I can't see it" she said and placed her hand on the book "but I can feel it" a smile lit up on her face, as she cares
Elle opened her eyes with a smile gracing her face, the memories of last night flooding her mind. She covered her face with one of the pillows and squealed into it "He is so sweet" she muttered, taking the pillow out of her face and cuddling into it."Breakfast will be ready in 10 minutes!" Mamock shouted, pulling Elle out of her dreamland. She released a deep breath, the smile not leaving her face as she walked into the bathroom to freshen up. She dressed up happily, humming a song as she walked downstairs."Good morning!" She said in a sing-song voice, dishing out the vegetable dish into her plate. The others looked at her in surprise, while Ansel was trying to hide his smile.She kept humming a song while stuffing herself with food, the others kept glancing at her and back at each other, "um... Did anything joyous happen that we don't know of?" Rus asked, making Elle glance at Ansel before shrugging her shoulders"Not really..." She said and returned t
"Here's your schedule for today," Ruri said, handing Elle a piece of paper "you better get to it, cause you have lots of stuff to do"Elle glanced at the schedule and grunted, she already had a rough morning with handling two hungover girls and making breakfast for everyone. She was hoping to get extra hours of sleep, but as luck would have it she can't."What about you and Mamock, can you guys handle your schedule with the hangover and everything?" she asked when Ruri was about to walk away."We'll be fine. We took the tea syrup and we just need to rest, and our work has already been added to either your schedule or Rus' schedule" Ruri said, batting her lashes and before Elle could say a word, she ran off.Elle stared at her retreating figure with her mouth open, and eyebrows scrunched up "I swear, those girls would be the death of me," she ran up to her room and changed into something suitable for the day's activities."So first things first, vis
"Elle! What just happened?" Ansel asked rushing towards Elle, inspecting her body with wide eyes. "I'm... I'm... " Elle started, her eyes on the fallen branch. She took a deep breath staring at Ansel "what just happened?" He looked at the tree branch with a small smile, then turned towards Elle "We'll talk about this later, let's get back to the party first" Elle nodded with her eyes closed. She opened it back and smiled at Elle "let's go then" Ansel smiled at her and they both walked back into the party. The party was on full blast when they walked back in, the soft beat of the drums has been replaced by a band singing on top of their voices. Various creatures were simply dancing away at the centre of the field, while most stood by the corner drinking and people watching. "Where have you guys been?" Ruri asked in a loud voice, trying to talk over the buzz "come on let's go dance" and without waiting for a reply, she dragged the both of them i
