SHE DOESN’T KNOW what she’s doing with her life. Why does she continue to fight and live after all the things that happened to her? She can now think that even the world has turned away from her, but just for one reason, here she is again, ready to fight like what she’s going to face is nothing.
She’s tired. Hallucinating. Walking like there is no tomorrow and following the road that seems to be no end.
“I’m really crazy…” Lirah wants to scold herself but at the same time tolerates her craziness. “I have a hundred reasons to surrender, but with just one reason, I am here fighting with my life all over again.”
The mysterious woman that she met gave her instructions on what she was going to do to continue living. Because she’s no
LIRAH FELT LIKE she’s in the longest run of her life. She couldn’t even remember how long she had been running in the darkness. She couldn’t count if it had happened for a long time because she might end up being crazy if this continued.Lirah wanted to escape as soon as possible but didn't know how. She didn't want to be in an unending darkness with no light that even her own hand could not allow her to see. It’s a torture for her.She calls almost all the goddesses that she knows. She’s praying that they can free her. Above all, she doesn’t want to be alone anymore because Lirah does not have a companion by her side.She couldn’t count how long she was in that darkest place. She doesn’t want to cry anymore, but how could she do that if this is the on
LIRAH WOKE UP from the smell of fresh cinnamon greeting her nose. She’s starting to get used to it after staying in Nana’s place for a week.She’s so curious why they always begin their day by allowing the smoke of cinnamon to flow through the whole house. Later on, they answer her that it is a good luck enhancer that will make the day productive, especially for the witch's practice.It’s so hard for her to understand some unnatural things that happened and in practice in this place first. Everything was new to her, but she trained herself to follow and understand everything. She had to respect them. Also, she couldn’t help but get shy with the people living inside the house. She always gets them into trouble whenever she tries to help. That's the least she can do.
LIRAH COULDN’T BELIEVE that the powerful witch and the third leader of the coven had visited her the other day. She got scared at first and felt like an important person later on. To have a welcome visit by one of the powerful witch spirits is something that she can brag about. Because why not? She’s a normal human being with no ability to be special at all.Lirah tried to understand what she felt the moment that she stepped on the part that she was restraining to go to the moment that she woke up.Nana said that her house and yard had a protecting spell that would conceal them from the world. The house they live in is both a shelter and sanctuary for the next leaders of the coven. To have this house that is specially given to the leader means that she’s capable of protecting all the spells and potions that have been mad
LIRAH IS STILL bothered about what she saw yesterday. The girl's reaction keeps replaying in her mind over and over again. She’s sure about what she saw—the smell of her bloody neck, the girl was not on herself and Joanne’s reaction as if she knew what was going on in that dark alley that she called a wet market.“She doesn't want me to find out…” she whispered softly while combing the hair of Titania—Nana’s cat that always comes to her room whenever she’s inside the house. “It’s for my own good.”Joanne was not around. She’s in the mountain that she pointed out yesterday. Nana said she had something important to do, but she didn’t give her much more detail, but it keeps hanging on her mind that yesterday's incident is the reason why the two are avoiding her.&n
LIRAH’s MIND COULDN’T process properly the moment that the strange man ran away from their house last night. The moment that he disappears from her sight, Lirah’s mind is in trouble once again.Another sigh came to Lirah while looking at her window where she could see the nature outside. She was sure that Nana was at Joanne's house because she had smelled the cinnamon for the whole five minutes now.That moment, she couldn’t believe how calm she was to manage to walk out of her room without any trouble.“W-who is he?” She asked herself once again, which was her question last night before she fell asleep. “The blood—is he drinking blood?” the scene of Vivianne’s entered into her mind immediately.
NANA COULDN’T HELP but look at her granddaughter with a smile on her face. She didn’t know if Lirah understood what her sister and brother-in-law had told her. Because all of it is not directed. They want Lirah to be the one to digest all the information coming to her little by little.When she finds out that she has a granddaughter whom they kept from the coven, Nana knows that Lirah will be special one day because both of them kept her in the world. She’s just hoping that she is still here when she discovers it.Putting her inside the coffin is one of the grave decisions she made, but she will not think of repeating it if she has to one day. Just to save her, she would do anything.The coven is still talking to Lirah and welcomes her with all of their hearts. She can see that som
ARO SLOWLY OPENS his eyes when it becomes warm in the place where he was lying because the sun is already risen. He couldn’t help but groan when he slowly remembered what happened last night. He’s out because of too much drink he’s been taking. The proof can be seen even on his side table. There are two bottles of bourbon whiskey.Aro couldn’t help but groan again. This time, it’s not about his head on the top but the one inside his pants.“Fuck!” he cursed out loud when Stacey started to lick the tip of his thing.His breathing became heavy, followed by a series of curses due to her sudden licking and mouthing that he did not expect. Before he was consumed by the fire that he was willing to burn, the image of the woman started to appear in his m
“THANK YOU FOR being patient with me, Annita!” Lirah said with a big smile. “I learn a lot from you. I promise I won’t forget all of it!”“Anything, Lirah,” Annita, one of Nana’s friends, genuinely smiled at her.“Please, tell me when you're annoyed at my mouth. You know, everything is new to me. Even though my life started just when Nana took care of me, I want to learn fast to help her,” Lirah said shyly. “My old life is just about cleaning, doing what my adoptive parents would be pleased with, and sleeping after my body gets tired of working the whole day. Apart from that, I'm an idiot, especially when it comes to what's going on in the coven and life.”Annita couldn’t
WITCHES HAS BEEN ignoring Lirah since the last argument she has with them and she doesn’t care. What’s important to her is they are not picking a fight but they become civil to each other to achieve their common goal.Just like before, everyone is busy with their own task inside the coven while Annita has been looking for her daughter till dusk comes. But until now she has failed to find her. That's why Lirah steps in to help her. Lirah tries to contact her but it’s no use no matter how many times she dialed her phone.Thinking about their last encounter with those bullies, she couldn’t help but get worried. She’s hoping that they didn’t drag her to that place once again because it’s too dangerous to roam around the area now that the vampires don’t have restrictions to do whatever they want.Lirah looked out to all the places Annie always hangs out in the city but she couldn't find Annita's daughter. Until the night came they didn’t get any news about her whereabouts.When the wind bl
THE FOG GETS thick that night as if it can devour the whole heart of the forest. The sharp eyes of the werewolves keep blending into the darkness. Their fangs are visible as if they seem to be able to snap at anyone who gets in the way of what they have to do. They were all vigilant and didn't care about the cold night. Every move is calculated but ready to attack anyone whenever Aro gives his command. Their senses got more heightened now that there was an intruder in their territory. They were extremely stubborn to go home just to find the vampires who got the nerve to enter the off-limits area. That’s what they have been doing since the sudden death of Nana. Relaxing becomes a stranger to them. Everyone gives their best just to protect the people.The moment they hear the howl of the lead hunters at the north border gives a signal about the prey who are luring the area, ten werewolves run in the other direction in furry.Just like other werewolves Solstice Enigma are territorial pa
LIRAH LOOKED AT their empty house the moment she entered the house. She knew that this was what she could see now but she’s still not used to a quiet house. As if there’s no difference from her previous life.Her tears suddenly fell the moment she saw the picture of Nana. She seems brave when she was arguing with the witches the moment before but she’s wearing her mask so no one will hurt her like what happened to Nana’s funeral. She’s tired of blaming herself for things that can’t control. She’s tired of being weak without having a chance to stand by on her own. Lirah found herself inside the library where she could see the different books about witches and witchcraft. Everything is labeled so it's easy to find what she’s looking for. Sometimes she’s here to read some spells that Nana wanted to let her know but when she died, Lirah couldn’t bring herself to come in place. All she could feel was grief and pain.Her eyes landed on the history section where could access to find out abo
LIRAH’S DETERMINATION TO get the witch's side is so high that she’s ready to take all her blame even if she forgot how low she made herself. When Lirah made a promise to Nana, she didn't forget it and made sure she followed everything with all of her heart. This is the only thing she can do now—look out to the coven to make sure that everything is in peace.Being kidnapped by the werewolf doesn't stop her from continuing what she has to do. She's scared. Of course. She's just an ordinary witch who doesn't know how to use her ability to protect herself and others. Aside from that, there's nothing special about her that she can be proud of. Being a Neoma and Monroe doesn't guarantee her success in doing what she really has to do. She needs to put in more hard work to earn something in return.Because of the trauma of walking at
LIRAH DOESN'T HAVE the excitement of waking up unlike before. The house that she thought would be filled with good memories is now a place where she couldn't stand to stay.She misses the smell of cinnamon wood that Nana has been using every morning, she misses how they start their day with freshly baked bread every morning accompanied by a hot cocoa that has been usually prepared for her.Even if Calvin doesn't eat the food that they used to eat, he stays because Joanne is there with a big amount of food on her plate, especially the protein that she needs to start her day.Lirah didn’t know what to do if Joanne hadn't saved them the day when Annie and she were trapped in an alley with a vampire. She may be dead by now if not because of Joanne.
LIRAH HAS NOT been on herself for the past three days. The house was quiet, empty, and lonely as her soul. She couldn’t bring herself to eat either. She only remembered the happy days when they were together at the dining table.She doesn’t know how to face Joanne and Calvin too. She knows that they are mad at her because she’s the reason why Nana is not on their side now that’s why she did not dare to talk to them.“I should not wake up. I would not have left the house,” if she had made the right decision, this wouldn’t happen to her. “Maybe Nana is still alive…”Today is Nana's funeral. They were performing the witch’s ritual to honor the death of the witches. It can be seen t
LIRAH’S CELL PHONE kept ringing which caused her to wake up in the middle of the night. If somebody asks, she doesn’t want to get up because her whole body is aching not just because of the training but also because of the spell that Nana performs to her when the full moon comes. It’s tiring that she even felt that her soul was taken away from her body. Also, she just fell asleep that even lasted two hours.Lirah answers the phone after the fifth ring. She was just about to speak to ask who was calling when she heard sobbing on the other line.“Vivianne?” she can’t hide the concern from her voice. She wants to know what happened to her friend because even though she was not by her side, she could feel her nervousness and fear. “Why are you crying? Are you okay?”
IT’S BEEN A long hell month for Lirah. She’s ready to trade her life just to go out of Nana’s place, even just for one day.For the whole three months, all she can do is train her mind and body to be ready for all the situations that will come in her life. No matter what she does now, she knows that she’s not ready yet. She still has many things she does not know and needs to learn.At first, when Nana said that they would be stricter with her, she didn’t know that it involved burning her mind to memorize some spell that belonged to their bloodline. She didn’t know that Joanne would treat her like a wolf, and she would be taken too to the forest to learn to hunt for food without coming back to Nana’s house for three days. She also trains like a vampire who’s ready to become fast and can read
