Melanie’s POV“Stab yourself.”She smirked.“Wh- what?” I stuttered in disbelief. “That’s the only way.” She shrugged. “You have to spill blood.”I scoffed.
“Are you kidding me right now?” “No,” she smiled. “Are you ready to cross that boundary?” “Why in the world would she need to stab herself?” Steve frowned.“That’s the only thing that can stop this. You need no further explanation. Are you willing to do it to save your people?” she stared intently at me. “Both the humans and the supernatural.”I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair. I definitely didn’t expect this. To save everyone completely, I’d make the sacrifice.
I heard loud screams which made me turn abruptly. I watched wide-eyed as buildings came crashing down. People began to run out of their houses. However, before they could go far, most of them got hit by flying bricks. I glanced at the source of the turmoil.The dragon was con
I fell on my knees as I struggled to breathe. I truly felt life getting drained out of me. I couldn’t breathe and I could see my hands getting dark. It all felt as though something was eating me up.I glanced at Melanie and she had that proud look on her face that showed how pleased she was to have deceived me. I was a complete fool to think she had regained her senses.The dark tissue was spreading on and on from my palms to my arms. Melanie wasn’t herself anymore and that was a sure fact. But regardless of any other thing, this might be the last time I see my best friend, the Melanie I love and not the one in front of me.With this in mind, despite the evil glare she had on her face and my lack of strength, I summoned every last bit of the strength in me. I held her hands in mine. They felt extremely hot.She arched her brows at me.“I can see you’re a strong one.” She smirked. “You…” I cut her off.“I love you.”She instantly froze.For a moment,
EPILOGUE<<MELANIE>>I breathed a heavy sigh of relief as I handed over the mic to Kate, who hurriedly passed me a bottle of water.“Thank you,” I muttered. I opened the bottle and drank from it.“You are all sweaty!” Kate frowned. “But you were definitely great back there.” She squeaked happily. I shook my head negatively with a smile on my face. Dramatic Kate!“She’s definitely not as open to me as she is to you.” I turned when I heard that voice.“Suzy!” I squealed as I ran to her. Her arms were wide open already, calling me for an embrace.“Girl, you were great out there on that stage.” She kissed my cheeks. “I almost couldn’t recognize you.” I laughed at her flattering. “All thanks to you and the staff.” She smiled. “And where’s John?” I asked as I looked behind her to see if he was with her.“He didn’t…” Suzy tried to answer.“Over here, sweetheart.” I saw John waved at me. “Hey,” I moved away from Suzy to meet
Meeting "mystery girl"Chapter 1"Mom, are you done?" I asked Mom who was busy in the kitchen."Yeah dear. I'll be out in a jiffy." She shouted so I could hear."Alright mom. I'm waiting." I told her as I sat down on one of the couches in the sitting room.I brought out my phone and checked the time. I couldn't bring myself to go back to my room to get my wristwatch. I'd be late and as it is, I'm already late... we're late.I looked up and saw mom coming out with a lunch bag and some other necessary things. I stood up and rushed over to her. "You should have called me to help you out." I said, almost like I scolded her. "Hey, mind the tone. I am the mom here." She said and I chuckled."Sorry Mom. Right now we need to leave. We're getting late.""Okay. Take these things and put them in the car. I'll join you soon." She said,
Melanie's POV continues "Mom, what are we gonna do?" I asked impatiently as I remembered what transpired at the station. It turned out to be true that the young man was not an uncle to the strange girl. He was infact an undercover officer and he was not putting on his uniform. We went in as we explained what happened to him. My doubts about the resemblance was confirmed as well."Ma'am, why are you lying to us? She's your daughter, right?" One of the officers on duty asked Mom and she titled her head in confusion. "What do you mean?" She asked, unsure. "He means that she is your daughter so why do you insist on portraying her to be lost and found?" Another officer asked."I've explained everything to you guys. She's not my daughter. I just happen to run into her on our way to the cinema." Mom told them. I placed my hand on hers. "Mom, they're right. You guys look alike. No one wo
Melanie's POVI woke up the next morning. Yawning, I stood up, walked into my bathroom and had my morning hygiene. I changed in to my dressing robe and walked out of my room. I remembered what happened last night and I felt sad for shouting at her. I then remembered that people who were rejected are always depressed and it may result to suicide but she's a young girl and she wouldn't think of such. I thought.'And what if she did?' my subconscious questioned and I gasped. I ran to the guest room that she was sleeping in. She wasn't there. I checked all rooms one after the other. She wasn't there and my heart started beating faster.I was scared my words might have caused something bad to her. She actually did nothing wrong. Taking a more closer look at the situation, it was Mom that almost ran her car on her. If we had not come across her, she would never had been here. But what was she doing on the street alone? It is partly he
Megan's POV"She's your daughter. 100% related to you." I heard doctor James say. What's all these? First she resembles me and now the DNA test confirms she's my daughter. Who's she really? I'm starting to get scared. All these things are happening in the period of just two days."That can't be true. We both know the truth." James handed me the result. I collected it and my eyes scanned through the paper and I dropped it absentmindedly on the office table. Melanie picked it up and had a look. Judging from her looks, I knew she didn't understand a thing from it but later I guess she did because her expression changed. Reading medical books really helped her in decoding it, I guess. "But.. " I trailed off. I've lost track of words. What to do? With this result, no one will accept to take her in."Megan, I think you should just adopt her. Even though she's not your daughter, the result proves us wrong and the orphanage home would n
Melanie's POV"Darling! Darling!! Come out. You're running late." I heard Mom's voice as I quickly slip on my wristwatch. I bent down and tied my shoelace. I rushed to the door and then looked back to ensure that I dropped nothing. I opened the door after my confirmation and rushed down the stairs.A maid was already at the end of the stairs with my lunch bag. She handed it over and I muttered a 'thank you' which she reciprocated with a smile. I walked briskly to the fridge and took an apple which I'd have for breakfast. I stepped into the living room to see Mom pacing up and down, waiting for me and Daisy was with her as well. I smiled at her and walked up to them."Good morning" I greeted. "Good morning to you too sis", she replied. Just for you to know, I've actually come to love Daisy. She's fun to be with and acts in a caring manner. Anyone who sees us would fail in recognizing that we've just known each other for some days now. The last
"I'm home" I announced as I walked towards the sitting room. A maid walked up to me and collected my school bag. I mouthed a 'thank you' to her and walked briskly away from her. "Daisy", I called but got no response. I walked up the stairs and opened her room's door.I entered the room and found her sleeping peacefully on her bed. I stared at her for some minutes and decided not to disturb her nap. I left her room quietly and entered mine which, of course, was opposite hers. I saw my backpack on the reading table. It's a good thing the maid didn't touch any other thing. They're just the way I left them.School was fun with my two awesome friends and Nancy never crossed my path till we left school today. I dropped my school uniform as I put on my bathrobe. I entered the bathroom, prepared the bathtub and entered it after removing my robe and undergarments. I immersed myself in the cold water and then closed my eyes to

Melanie’s POVI pulled up the knife and steadied myself to stand to my feet. Releasing a shaky breath, I began to walk over to the rest of the family as I kept the knife safe in my pocket.Sage was gone. Everyone has been set free from his evil clutches and his destructive ambitions.Walking absentmindedly, I almost lost my balance when I stumbled on something. I averted my gaze from the space and glanced at what made me stumbled. I realized it was Janet’s lifeless body.The tears I never knew I had pent-up flooded my face as I stared at the lifeless body of the girl I called my friend. I sobbed uncontrollably as I fell to her side. Lifting up her cold hands, I pulled her into an embrace.She might have betrayed me but she was once my friend. And she will ever be!“I’m sorry,” I whispered. My body trembled slightly as the feelings I bottled up all burst out with my tears.No matter wha
Melanie's POV"Don't you dare!" I growled when I saw Clara's high hand. In her hand was the supposed sacred knife - that, I recognized.Clara turned to me with surprise evident on her face. But sad for her, 'cause as soon as she turned, she was struck by an electrifying ray that emitted from my hands. She was sent flying across the room.She let out a loud scream when her back came in contact with the furnitures. Crashing sounds filled the atmosphere.I moved closer to her with the unending ray and she got pinned to the tiled floor. I didn't want her to stand up.When I was sure she was trapped and unable to move, I hurriedly traipsed over to Daisy. I pulled her up from the floor and shook her without much force."Daisy?"Her eyes opened slightly before they went close.Her body went cold immediately. I instantly became furious.Clara should pay for this. I don't care if I don't get to kno
Megan's POV"Oh my God! Melanie?" I called in surprise. My eyes watered as they got themselves fixed on my dear daughter.I was so excited to see her here. Even though I didn't know when she got discharged and how she got here, I was still very much glad she was right here in front of my eyes.But before we could go about the mother daughter reunion, Sage spoke up."Well... well... well," he began, saying those words in a music like format. "Look who we have here. I didn't think you'd be up after all we got them to do to you." He stated.No wonder! I kind of knew Sage was the mastermind of all that happened with Melanie. But it was hard to ascertain that fact since he got his job done without any trace.Melanie walked away from me as I teleported over to the rest of my team. The look on Steve's face showed he couldn't be more glad."Nice to finally meet you again," Melanie greeted Sage scornfully. She folded her
Megan's POV"It's a recall spell if you don't know." I heard Morgana's voice.Right there and then, she also came into the picture, alongside Morgan and the army. I smiled.This turned out to be a perfect plan after all."Now, it's a thousand against one." Morgan said with a slight smile.Sage moved back a bit, creating enough space between us all."How come I never knew?" He wondered."That's cause it wasn't an immediate thing. The spell was meant to take time before it takes its effect ... to avoid suspicion." Morgana explained with a sad smile on her face.I wondered why she looked sad despite the smile. Her smile didn't reach her eyes."Who did this?" Sage asked with squinted eyes. "Cause I'm sure this isn't a thing back at the kingdom. This is related to black magic." He frowned."Yeah, it isn't a thing in our world since it's a spell." Morgana shrugged. "But someone went extra miles to pr
Megan's POVI stood at the centre of the city with Steve, Sage and his captives. Sage's eyes never left mine while he waited patiently for me to make my decision.Something kept telling me not to surrender. It kept trying to make me see enough reasons, as to why I needed not go surrender.One reason that kept on hammering was the fact that Sage could actually make me surrender and still not release his captives.One of the many reasons that left me strong-headed was how Sage was my culprit, who I needed to bring to book. If I surrender to him without fighting back, all our efforts from the onset would be a total waste of time and manpower."You're taking much time to decide, Megan." He complained.One thing about him that I've noticed is he always call my name, at any slight opportunity he gets.I ignored him and turned to Steve."What does she mean to you?" I questioned. He doesn't need any
Megan's POVI coughed slightly from the smoke that filled the atmosphere. Everywhere was clouded with smoke and I wondered how much damage Sage has caused to the whole city.I trod along the road carefully, squinting my eyes to see if there was any other person around. Following Sage landed us here and I haven't seen him. The smoke wasn't helping as well. I ensured I held on to Steve carefully.As we continued to move forward, the atmosphere suddenly became clearer. I almost sighed in relief but was caught off guard when an arrow flew my way. Reflexively, I dodged the arrow.My eyes darted towards the direction it came from. I wasn't surprised to see Sage but what surprised me was the army that stood in lines right behind him."This is going to be bloody." I heard Steve mutter behind me."We'll take care of this. Don't be scared." I told him, without turning to look at him. My eyes was fixed on Sage and his army.&nb
