2024-10-29 19:42:56Elle and her parents were currently stting in the dinning room and it was really awkward, no one talked to the other person neither was anyone eating.
Elle sighed and rubbed her forehead, she really didn't have the time for all this. She wasn't able to sleep last night cause of the repeating nightmares and right now, she just wants to go back to her room and finish reading the book, she picked up her spoon and started eating.
"where are your manners young girl?" Her father asked her the time she was about to put her fifth spoon in her mouth, she angrily slammed the spoon on the dinning table
"I guess they went on a vacation" she replied and left the dinning room. Anna looked at her daughter's retreating figure and back at her husband, she doesn't want her family shattering right now "why don't you just talk to her quietly Anthony"
Anthony swiftly turned his head towards his wife and raised one of his eyebrows up, not sure he heard her right "What did you just say Anna?" She flinched when she heard the anger in his voice as he spoke.
She swallowed hard before repeating what she said "I said why don't you just talk to her?" Her eyes filled with her fear as she spoke, he looked her and chuckled before his face morphed into that of anger.
"Listen to me, by the time I get back to this house you better make sure she's been called to order" He said to her in a very low and angry tone and Anna just nodded her head in fear.
"Good" he said and patted her head before he left. Immediately he left Anna grabbed her head with her two hands, she has managed to conceal this side of him for many years thanks to Elle's corporation but now everything is falling apart.
Elle curled up in the floor she has been sitting on, 10 years ago she became the "perfect" daughter after she witnessed what her father can do and right now it's as if the universe is replaying the scene again for her to see.
She sat on the floor for a few more minutes before she stood up and went into her room, when she got in she picked up the book and opened up to the place she stopped, she immediately felt her body relaxing and she believed the book brings her peace.

"Do you think the plan will work?" Argus, one of the armed men asked after everyone dispersed.
A sword was placed on his neck the moment he asked the question, "Are you doubting him after the time it took to make the plan"

Archan stood at the market square looking at all the creatures that were selling and buying with humans, he felt disgusted at the sight. He believed that all those other creatures are freaks and shouldn't be allowed to exist.
He rolled his eyes and looked away from them but his eyes met something that he found more disgusting, a human and a halfling kissing. He immediately felt the urge to throw up, he just couldn't understand how other humans can stand those creatures "if only I can do something about this abomination" he muttered to himself as he made to leave the square but his eyes caught something
A human man was also staring at the two people that were kissing, he clenched and unclenched his fists as he glared at them both with so much intensity. An idea quickly popped up in Archan's mind and he smirked walking over to the man.
"Hey man" he greeted the man with a little tap on his shoulder
"I'm not interested in whatever you are selling" the man replied immediately in a rude manner, his eyes not leaving the kissing couple. Archan smirked to himself again before he cleared his voice and whispered in the man's ear "Don't you want to kill him!"
The man immediately turned towards him; his eyes darting round Archan's face with creased eyebrows, Archan just raised an eyebrow at him it"Am I not right?" He asked, a cunning smile on his face
"And who are you?" The man asked trying to make sure he isn't one of the officers that work for the ACAO (All Creatures Are One)
"Someone with the same intentions as you with a plan to back it up but if you aren't interested I might be on my way then" Archan said and turned to walk away but the man stopped him and that was how he was able to recruit over a hundred men and women

"They didn't do anything to you, you monster!" Elle cursed at the book as she turned over the next page to continue reading the book

Meanwhile everyone that ran away from the selection arena quickly ran to their homes, except 5 Children that ran up to a particular spot
When they all saw each other they quickly did a group hug before they sat down "I'm sacred by everything that's happening right now and I'm disgusted by the fact that it's my specie that's causing this" Amanda said in a voice thick with emotions as tears rolled down her face , the others quickly hugged her in a very comforting manner
"I'm sorry guys, you people are in danger and I'm here crying about my disgusting specie" she apologized as she wiped her tears and they all just patted her back
"What will happen to us now?" Aiden asked in a very tiny and scared voice, he has always been the softest in the group
"Well one thing is for sure, we either die or become slaves. There's no way out" Rus said, he already weighed the options in his mind there's no way out
"Let's not die guys, let's make a promise that we'll not die no matter what happens. Let's stay alive" Aiden pleaded, staring at them with glossy eyes, they all nodded and linked their pinky fingers together promising each other to return safely
After that a painful silence settled in and they just kind of looked into the void each person questioning their fate in their mind.
"You know instead of sitting here and wallowing in self pity when you already know your fate, why not have fun and enjoy your last moments with each other?" The children jumped up when they heard the sudden voice, each taking a fighting stance.
"And who are you?" Mamock asked while looking at him skeptically,
"Hi, I'm Ansel"

The children looked at the stranger skeptically, he looked their age but they've never seen him around before. "Hello? I said I'm Ansel" The boy said while waving his hands over their faces "Where are you from? We've never seen you around before" Mamock asked the question that is on everyone's mind "And how are you so sure you've never seen me before?" Ansel asked as he stepped closer to them, they all looked at each other and kept quiet "well, you are right. You've never seen me before and before you ask, it's because I'm a rare specie that chooses when he wants to show himself" "Umm.. we would appreciate it if you are a little bit clearer" Amanda said and the boy looked her with a smile on his face before he replied "Well, you can say I'm a God" he said in a cock

"Inhumanity always existed, the greed and envy of humans has kept that beast in them alive" Elle said with tears welling up in her eyes as she closed the book. The first time she opened the book, she didn't except something like that to be the reason the world was separated, she rubbed her hands over her face and sighed frustratedly, history is about to repeat itself and this time it might be her fault. She glanced at the book for a while before she turned to the other side of the room, in as much as it gave her a much needed insight about the other realm, she wasn't able to discover the connection of her classmates' dissappereance to all of that. Elle was still pondering over her classmates dissappereance when she heard the front door open and she heard her dad's voice as he came in, she stood up from

It's been 7 days since Elle found the file and things haven't been the same, she goes to sleep every night with the fear of her now persistent nightmares and wakes up every morning feeling disgusted by what she found in the file. This morning, she woke up with sweat all over her face and her pillow was drenched. She couldn't figure out if it was her tears or her sweat, she ran her hands through her brown curly hair as tears rolled down her face and she curled up in her bed. It keeps getting horrible as the days pass, she had sneaked out and bought her self sleeping pills but that didn't change anything. "Elle I hope you're awake" Anna called out to her daughter as she continued making breakfast, she decided to turn a blind eye to the drastic changes she saw in her daughter's body because she's too busy making sure her project goes as planned Elle sat up when she heard her mum's voice a

"what is it?" Rus asked with a glare as Elle continued looking at him with a mischievous smile on her face. He honestly dislikes the girl and now she's creeping him out. "Well, like I said I have a condition" Elle stated and passed a quick glance around, and everyone was staring at her with undivided attention "my condition is very simple, it doesn't require much and it's basically for Rus here to fulfill" "Get to the point already" Mamock said to the girl in a semipissed off tone and Elle just smiled at her innocently "Alright alright, I see you all are getting impatient and annoyed at me so I'll get to the point but first, Rus do you promise to meet my condition"she said, purposely toying with them as she looked at everyone with a mischievous look in her eyes, before her gaze settled on Rus.

Anna and Anthony settled down in their seats facing the children who were staring right back at them . They were all staring at each other intensely, the tension around them could be sliced by a knife. After a few minutes of intense glaring, Anthony broke it by speaking up "You all have grown some courage and I like that" he said with a satisfied smile plastered on his face. "I'd love to speak to you guys now but I think it'd be better if my wife does that instead" Anthony said and signalled to his wife to speak up. Anna glanced at all the children first before she cleared her throat and started talking "I know you all probably went through a tough and painful journey during the change but I know the pain is all over now. I'm going to talk to you people about the changes your body has undergone, your newly found ability and how to control it and basically everything you need to know about being a vampire" she

"Why didn't you tell me about it the moment you noticed the file went missing!?" Anthony yelled at Anna in anger and she immediately flinched. "God damnit!" He cursed and brought out his phone and made a call "I need you to find someone for me" he ordered as he angrily walked out of the house. Anna sat on the floor crying and breathing heavily, her entire body was shaking. She honestly thought he was gonna shoot her to death when he glared at her with so much anger, she managed to drag herself up from the floor and walked over to their bathroom, she definitely needs a bath right now. ______ Elle opened the door and walked into the house, she was expecting to meet it dirty considering that none of them will probably enter there to clean it but it was surprisingly clean. No speck of dust can be seen. "Wow!!" She exclaimed while spinning around to get a better view of the

Elle finished her introduction hoping to at least get a reaction but the crowd remained quiet after that and her confidence started diminishing. The feeling of unacceptance started creeping into her mind and she slowly began to step back. But all of a sudden they all started cheering and choruses of "you're welcome Elle" boomed through the arena, while Mamock and and the other 3 started laughing "are they okay?" Elle thought to herself while looking at the cheering crowd with confusion written all over her face. "You should have seen your face Elle! Don't worry it's tradition, they always do this. It's fun to see the life force all riled up" Ruri explained in between laughs and Elle released a sigh of relief, they definitely got her with that prank. She looked at the crowd that was still cheering and clapping for her and she smiled, she's quite surprised that even tho they know why she's here, they act like nothing is wron

Elle sprawled out on her queen sized bed with a pink duvet covering her lower body, she stayed up late last night after her discussion with Mamock and only managed to fall asleep after reading a book from the library. She was still enjoying her peaceful sleep, when she heard a loud knock from the door and she opened her eyes immediately. She spent the next few seconds looking around the room strangely untill her brain recalled everything, she sighed and stretched on the bed before she then quietly sat up on the bed. The knock came again and she muttered "I'm coming" as she stood up from her bed and walked downstairs. Her eyes widened the moment she opened the door, Rus and Demi stood behind the door dressed up in a running outfit. "You aren't ready yet?" Rus asked her in shock as she opened the door, she stared at him with wide eyes before she st

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 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.

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
