CHAPTER 16: ALTHEA BROOKSVILLE
Last Updated:
2021-12-01 23:00:01The scent of old books and musty air lingering around the room welcomed Aria and the Hunter brothers as they entered the basement of Lizzie's house.
It was impossible to know from the outside that a room like this existed beneath the France family home.
Its ceiling goes as high as the sky, bookshelves stand as tall as the ceiling, and for a moment, Aria thought they had opened a portal to a different world.
"Wow!" was all she muttered. "How?" she tried to ask Mrs. France but couldn't get out the words she wanted to say.
The room seemed to have bewitched the Hunter brothers too, and both were stunned to talk. Mrs. France grinned a little, proud of how amazed they were.
"This was the work of Lizzie's great grandmother," she said. "I think Lizzie tapped with her magical powers when she stumbled upon this room."
"It's majestic," Aria said, still in awe of all the

Matt's eyes widened as he took a step back, mouth gaping in disbelief as he stared at the horror in front of him. His brother was staring at him with empty eyes, blood all over his chest, and his still-beating heart not far from where he was lying - lifeless.Beside him lays Aria. Eyes shut tight, her hands a few inches from Leo's hand, and a dagger embedded in her chest.But his horror turned to confusion as he saw Leo and Aria standing by his side alive and well, though they have the same horror-stricken expression plastered on their faces."What the hell? Mom! Dad!" Aria screamed as she rushed to where Matt could see his brother and Aria's dead body."What the hell is going on?" Leo asked."Calm down. We need to calm down," Mrs. France said. Ironically, she, herself, couldn't calm down. But she had stopped screaming and finally understood the situation.&n

"Mom? Dad?" Aria called out to her parents as soon as she stepped inside their house. It was oddly quiet, and the neatness of the living room was the exact opposite of the kitchen.The stove was still on, and the soup was overflowing from the cauldron down to the kitchen floor. The remnants of broken plates and glasses were everywhere, so Aria walked in carefully.The smell of burnt food was swirling all over the kitchen. Aria turned off the stove, then the oven."What happened here?" she loudly asked as if expecting someone could answer her.She was alarmed when she saw trails of blood below the kitchen sink. "Mom? Dad?" she called out once more with her voice trembling in fear of what could have had happened.Aria followed the trail of blood with shaking feet. It led to her parents' bedroom. She muttered a silent prayer that, hopefully, it was not what it seemed. She held her b

"Woah. Something's different, hmm," Lizzie said as soon as she saw Aria walk inside the hall. With a smile plastered on Aria's face and her smudged lipstick, Lizzie could tell that Aria and Leo finally had their moment."Shut up, Liz," she said, trying to look annoyed, but the blush on her cheeks betrayed her."Okay, maybe we should go fix your make-up first. While you tell me all about it," Lizzie said, giggling while pulling Aria to the girls' room."Aria, anyone who could see you right now can say what you just did," Lizzie said, still teasing Aria. Aria ignored her and continued fixing herself."So, do they have any news about who attacked Cassie and Matt?""No," Aria said, shaking her head. "Leo said they know who they are, but they don't have any idea what their motives are? I mean, why would they attack a werewolf and a vampire thousand of miles away from them?" Aria frown

Aria woke up with the sound of a police siren wailing below their house. She looked out of the window and saw a bunch of policemen gathered in front of their yard. There were also reporters trying to get a scope of what was happening.She fixed herself and went downstairs, but before she could even take a step down, she heard her father arguing with someone."You can't arrest her. She's a child," her father said. Aria peeked in one of the gaps in the banister. She saw Colonel McKinley talking with his father with two policemen behind him.Colonel McKinley was showing Harry a piece of paper, but Harry just waved it and argued with him."I'm sorry, Harry. She's already eighteen, you know that, of course. She needs to come with us. If she's not guilty, then you have nothing to be afraid of," Colonel McKinley said."But you knew she was also a victim there. How could she ever do that

"Leo." Aria ran towards Leo as soon as she got off the car. She threw her arms around him and let him lift her from the ground. They embraced each other for a few seconds before they realized they were not the only people there. "He called us after the police took you," Lizzie said. "Then, we know what to do." "Are you okay?" Leo asked Aria, caressing her cheek lightly and surveying if she was hurt. "She was with us," Harry said from behind them. "Come on, let's get inside. Before those reporters could spot us." But upon opening the door, Harry's eyes widened as he saw what had happened to their house. "Is something wrong?" Jane asked. She stepped to the door beside her husband and had the same reaction. With the shattered windows, the books, and other things scattered all around the living room, the cabinets and drawers opened, and everything ins

Cassie sat beside Aria on her bed, waiting for her to talk after finding out all the things that occurred in the past weeks. Of course, she was dumbfounded.Minutes passed between them, but Aria was still silent, still processing all the information given to her."Maybe telling her all those details at once was not a good idea," Jane whispered to her husband. They were standing by the door, watching Aria."So, you are saying that I am a werewolf? Cassie, are you on drugs?"Cassie was out of words too. "No," she answered, feeling defeated for not being able to do anything to make Aria remember. Then, she checked her phone to see if there was already an update from Lizzie about the remedy."God!" Aria exclaimed, frustrated about the things she could not remember and the headache she still feels. "This is crazy," she sighed and let herself fall on the soft mattress. She stared at th

Aria woke up with the sun rays hitting her face. She blinked multiple times before fully realizing she was not in her room. She roamed her eyes around the room and looked for any sign of familiarity.The room's walls and floor were made of wood. There was a wide window at the head of the bed, where she could see the falls behind the cabin. The earthy smell of grass and trees lingered in the air.After seeing that, Aria knew where she was. She stood up from the bed, with everything still fuzzy. "She's awake!" a voice said. She didn't have to look up to know it was Matt.'What happened?' she thought to herself. All she could remember was kissing Leo, then she felt this stabbing pain in her head. She felt like it was being torn apart."Hey. How are you feeling?" Matt asked, which surprised Aria. He wasn't usually that gentle. He held her arm to help her walk, but Aria waved it. "I'm fine," she said.

Aria glanced at it and clenched her fists. “I will make them pay,” she whispered in between her teeth as she went inside the moonlit forest.They found Cassie kneeling on the ground, embracing Matt’s limp and lifeless body in her arms.With eyes still full of tears, and a quivering lower lip, she looked up at Aria and shook her head. “He’s gone,” she said. “He’s gone,” she said, her sobs echoed in the middle of the night.A few meters away from them was a distraught Leo. He was looking down on his bloody hands, then to Matt. Aria could hear his heart thumping from there.She flashed towards him and tried to make him focus on her eyes.

How would they feel if they lose her again?She thought of the unjust death of her father, Blake, who was imprisoned for years in his own home and died right after taking it back from the oppressors.She thought of her best friends and her pack.

Matt woke up from a nightmare and immediately looked at his bedside table. Beads of sweat trickled all over his forehead. He got up and walked out of the balcony to breathe fresh air.He did not realize it was already a full moon until he saw the majestic Luna shining from above. If it weren’t for Aria, if it were not for the prophecy, they would still be in pain of transitioning as a wolf tonight.He wondered what they were doing in Crescent Hills.Matt went down to grab some beer, and he almost jumped on Cassie when he saw her lurking in the dark garden. “What are you doing there?” he asked.Matt opened the glass sliding door and let her in. “What happened?” he asked. He inspected her, but she seemed fine, except for her expression.“I always have a dreamless sleep,”
Meet Me on a Moonlit Night CHAPTER 43: CURSE OF THE MOON
Aria woke up with the sound of a woman yelling words she could not understand. The woman had long black curly hair and looked a bit older than her mother. She was holding some kind of herb, her eyes were closed, and below her is a wooden table with a little glass.The smell of wolf's bane, chrysanthemum, and other herbs Aria could not recognize lingered in the air around her. She could feel the two ropes binding her.“Hold her down,” the woman said when she noticed Aria was already awake. Before Aria could even fight back, arms surrounded her, pressing her against the tree she tied at.Aria did not know how many people were there, but she saw familiar faces with vacant eyes as if they did not recognize her.“What did you do to them? Who are you?!” she yelled at the w
Meet Me on a Moonlit Night CHAPTER 42: TREACHERY
Aria grunted in frustration after trying too many times to remove the ropes binding her hand on the two opposite poles. Her wrists were already red, and she could feel every fiber of the rope pricking her skin as she tried once more.Each and every one of her packs was inside the castle, celebrating with the enemy while mosquitos were biting every exposed part of her body.Her wounds did not help her in getting out.Aria tried once more with all her strength, and a muffled scream escaped her lips. She freed herself from the ropes binding her, but not without wounding her own wrist. She ignored the wounds and just ran as fast as she could, hurting herself once more in the shoulder.She knew something was in the drink they forcefully gave her. It seemed like it took all her strength. She ran towards the woods of Crescent Hills and glanced at the moon.

“Where are they?” Aria asked Matt right after torched Raymond Valle’s body together with the vampires they killed. The other vampires escaped death and ran far from Crescent Hills to God knows where.“They are with Abigail,” Matt answered.Aria breathed in relief and glanced at her father. Blake was silently staring at the dancing fire burning the bodies of those who made his life a living hell.“Father.”Sometimes, it still feels odd for her to say those words out. But, they came out of her tongue naturally as soon as she met Blake.Blake turned around, and Aria welcomed him back with a tight hug. “Thank you, for coming back,” she said, trying to speak without breaking her voice, but she failed.Aria sniffed and leaned back.&ldq
Meet Me on a Moonlit Night CHAPTER 40: BLOODBATH
The stench on Aria's nostril was replaced by a sharp and thick smell. It permeated the air in the whole new chamber they had reached.The iron-like smell became stronger as they left the secret tunnel. Aria glanced at Leo, who was crunching his nose after the smell hit him. “It’s a lot of blood,” Aria said.They walked further inside that room and had found out why the smell of blood was so strong in that room. Aria gasped after pulling out the huge curtain. Hundreds of bodies, being drained of their blood, were on the other side of that room.Some of them were still conscious that they raised their hand as high as they could, asking for Aria to help them while most of the people there were unconscious, pale, and probably, dead.“Help us,” the girl said in a weak voice. It was almost inaudible. There were tubes all
