Aria crossed one of the things on her checklist. The graduation ball will be tomorrow, and none of the committees she formed had finished the tasks that Aria gave them.

"Where is the food committee?" she asked in the crowd. Most of the seniors were in the hall putting designs on the walls - backdrops.

"We could have done a 2000's themed party, or maybe a neon party or any other much simpler themed party. But no. Why did I choose the 1800's again?" Aria asked Lizzie. Aria's eyes roamed around the hall, checking if everyone was doing their job. "Hey!" she called out one of the boys carrying a table. "Can you find Amy? Tell her Aria's looking for her." The boy nodded and went on.

"Aria, calm down. We can make it. We have the whole day," Lizzie grabbed Aria's shoulders and turned it to face her. "Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale," she said while doing the same thing.

Aria impulsively followed her, which ma

And every adult of the pack gathered in the cottage.Mary's sister took her to one of the cottages, separate from her son's mutilated head. They could still hear her crying. Matt took Jake's head inside the main cottage. They wanted to give her a proper burial, but not without the body."Can she trace it?" Leo asked Aria after she said that Lizzie could trace objects. She traced the sender of the video before. "So, she's a witch," Matt said. Aria nodded slightly. Though, she isn't sure if Lizzie would be okay if people knew she's a witch. But she trusted Leo and Matt.Matt was pacing back and forth in the room. He was worried sick for Nora. They were right when her scent led them to Crescent Hills.

    Leo immediately took a blanket and covered Aria's crouched body as she turned back in her human form. Mary was still crying, and Aria's heart couldn't help but go with her. Aria could only imagine how painful it was for a mother to receive the head of his beloved son.She stood up and walked towards Mary, who was still crying and appalled by her sudden use of authority. She immediately felt guilty for doing that to her, especially she had just lost her son, but she had to."Mary," she said, then took her hand and held it gently. Mary looked at her with tears still falling off from her sorrowful eyes. "I know what happened was beyond painful. No one deserves to die like that, and no mother deserves to see their son," Aria swallowed the lump forming in her throat, "in that state.""But Cassie has nothing to do with that. She just came here," Aria said, then she looked at Cassie.Aria had known Cassie a

    Aria immediately went to her car with Cassie behind her. Lizzie tried to run after them, but the people's focused turned to her as she was called Lady of The Night. She walked to the stage, took the crown, waved, and smiled, despite thinking of her two best friends."Wait, Aria, are you sure about this? Because I admit at first, I was willing to go with you since they thought I am in their side, but seeing Frank there, was not good," Cassie said."I am sure of this, Cassie. I will show those monsters who they are underestimating," Aria said fiercely.She quickly hopped on the driver's seat, cursing at the gown she was wearing for getting on the way. "I should not have worn this. I should not have attended this in the first place. I have a lot to worry about," she said."Aria, we have to be rational. How sure are we that Frank did not hear any of our conversations? I thought Raymond sent him somewhere

    Lizzie's heart would not stop pounding even though they had already arrived at the emergency room of Clarke's Lake Hospital. Jerome was still unconscious, and he looked so pale he could be mistaken as already dead.As soon as they entered him inside the operating room, Lizzie broke down on the floor. Her mascara ran down her face, and her hair had become messy. Cassie only sat by her side, hugged, and comforted her."I swear I will kill Frank once I see him again. I will study every book in my grandmother's shelves to learn how to kill an immortal like him," Lizzie said, then went back on crying."He didn't know what I am or what happened to Aria in the woods. He doesn't know anything," she sobbed. "But now, he's the one suffering."Cassie only patted Lizzie's back to calm her down and stop her crying. She already knew what to do to save Jerome's life, but she couldn't do it with people around them.

    "I told you to wait!" Matt said. He slammed the door of the car and pedaled on the gas. The vehicle's engine roared as its tires wheeled against the concrete road and left the vampires with nothing but dust."Do you think a piece of jewelry with a piece of herb hidden on it would be able to stop them from attacking you?!"Aria did not like the way he spoke to her, but she kept her lips tightly closed. She knows Matt was right. She knows what she did was an impulsive decision that almost cost her not just her own life but her friends as well."Why is it not working?" Cassie asked as she tried to bite herself and let Lizzie drink some of her blood. "It should be working. It worked with Jerome," she said.Cassie's blood was all over Lizzie's mouth, her dress drenched in her blood, and her eyes were barely open. Aria held her cold and feeble hand tightly as Matt disregarded the speed limit to go to

    As soon as Aria turned around and saw Leo's face, her face lit up in happiness, and she swiftly ran towards him. She threw her arms around his neck and buried her face on his chest."Are you alright?" Leo asked, then he hugged her tighter, inhaling the scent of her tangled hair."Yes, I'm fine now. Have you got any answer?" Aria asked.Matt stared at how Aria's mood lightened up as soon as she saw Leo. Something pinched his heart, and it did not escape Cassie's observing eyes."I think I've seen this film before," she said in a sing-song voice.Matt looked at her and rolled his eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said, walking to the opposite side of the hallway, away from Cassie."You know it. I know you know it," Cassie said. "It's already there. I can tell it. You're not the first person I met who fell in love with his brother's girl."

    Lizzie slightly opened her eyes as it adjusted to the brightness of the room. She removed her blanket and tried to feel the wound she had last night. It still stings, but it was not as painful as it was before.Mrs. France fell asleep beside her bed, holding her hand, but she woke up as soon as she felt Lizzie move."How are you, sweetie?" Mrs. France asked. She inspected Lizzie's bandage to be sure that it was still attached properly."I'm okay, just...what is this bitter thing in my mouth?" she grimaced."That's the medicine I gave you," Mrs. France said. She stood up and poured a glass of orange into a small cup. "Here, drink this. It can take away the bitterness," she said.Lizzie sipped slowly from the cup when she realized her mother was staring at her. She immediately gulped the drink and asked for one more, which Mrs. France gave right away, but her disappointed look did

    The 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

    Aria and Lizzie both dashed to the woods and found a bunch of bodies scattered all around the opening. Blake’s head was still on the spike. 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.

    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,”

    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

    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

    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
