Mystic Academy I'm a jerk
KELANI POVI just knew it. There was no way I could take three steps away from Riley's side. She gripped my hand, pulling me back.Placing my feet to the ground as she started to move, I shook my head."I don't want to," I muttered."Is something wrong?" Riley asked me."I don't want to be here," I said. "You didn't say you were bringing me to his side. I'd rather have stayed in the forest than be here.""That's absurd. The forest is dangerous, Kelani, and this is the closest place that I can think is safe." Riley said."How do you know where he lives anyway? And how are you suddenly friends with Zain that you can visit him freely?" I asked her.Riley sighed, letting me go, "We've always been friends, and perhaps this is the time I need to mention some things to you.""Some things like?" I asked her. Were they best of friends? Or did she tolerate all of them until she couldn't any longer?"Riley," Zain called. "It's a surprise to see you here.""I am always here," Riley said, making m
Mystic Academy Jealousy got the best of me
ZAIN POVGrimacing, I watched as Kelani stepped away from me to the other side, very much closer to the gate.She acted as though I was some kind of monster she desired to get away from—the kind of monster she had killed.Her back was turned to me, and I saw her shoulders heaved.The desire to approach her and apologize once again filled me, but I doubted she would appreciate any of the apologies."When you wish to come in, you are free to." I hollered before turning and stepping indoors.Meeting Riley at the entrance, her brows were scrunched up."What happened the night you went out?" She asked me."She didn't tell you?" I asked, surprised.Even though Kelani wasn't the kind of person who went about tarnishing people's image, I had assumed she would, at least, say it to Riley.In this context, she wasn't tarnishing my image. I had been mean to her, albeit intentionally.Also, Riley wasn't just anybody to her; she was her best friend. It was strange she still kept her in the dark."W
Mystic Academy Your girl
VESPER POV"Alpha!""Fuck off," I grunted, blocking out Ethan's voice with my pillow."Alpha!" He called again.He had been doing that for the past five minutes. I was glad the door to my room was locked but, at the same regret giving him access to the main door.Ethan woke me up this way each morning. It wasn't as if I couldn't do so myself. During the holiday, I tend to oversleep, trying to relieve all the tensed muscles during the school session.But lately, I have been unable to have the most decent sleep. Not even a good six hours of sleep.The recurring nightmare of a monster rising and Kelani dying was what I saw all the time.It didn't help that I couldn't reach Kelani. The first time I tried was the last, and Riley had mentioned going into the dreaded forest to spend the break with her.That was the same forest I dreamt of each time."Alpha!" Nathan called loudly this time.Groaning, I pushed myself out of bed and trudged to the door.Undoing the lock, I glared at him, "Do yo
Mystic Academy Until your last breath
KELANI POV"Guard the house," A yell from Zain made me jerk out of my slumber.With wide eyes, I gazed around the dimly lit room before searching around for the switch of the lamp.Pressing it down, light flares in the room. I shrieked as a hooded figure stood before me."It's me," Riley said, stepping closer."Riley!" I exclaimed, eyeing her as she let down the hoodie."I'm sorry," She winced, pushing a hand through her hair. "I couldn't sleep, and the noise from outside kind of made it worse.""What happened?" I asked her.Climbing down from the bed, I stepped towards the window and peered out.One of the best things about the room I currently was in was the ability to see all that was going on outside without needing to go outside.The fact that Zain had explicitly asked for the room to be cleaned for me even though I wasn't actively speaking to him says a lot.And for some reason, the kind gesture made me want to forgive him."What's going on?" I asked her.Zain continued to yell,
Mystic Academy You're the key
KELANI POVI turned to Riley, who shrugged, and as Vesper twisted the handle continuously, she hissed."Calm down, lover boy." She said, moving to open the door.As soon as it opened, Vesper stumbled inside. Sweat drenched his body, and the shirt he wore was stained with blood.Not worried about the state he was in, I ran into him, jumping into his open arms and wrapping my arms around him."You're okay," we said in unison.Vesper's arms wrapped tightly around my lower body, and I shuddered. This wasn't the first time he'd be hugging me, but this felt different.It felt as though he poured all his emotions into the embrace.As he let me go, he cupped my face, closing his lips around mine. I gripped his shirt, scrunching it, and stood on tiptoes to access his lips as well."I'd have said get a room, but then, I don't think I am really to have a mental image of what both of you could be doing in that room," Riley grimaced, clearing her through, which broke us apart. I flushed, gazing aw
Mystic Academy You're hurting me
KELANI POV"You left," Riley said as soon as I stepped in.I nodded, walking to where Vesper was. He was fast asleep, and I turned to Riley."I had to inject him since he didn't want to take any drugs. I tried to ease his pain until I am certain of what attacked him.""And I made sure he isn't going to die; I gave him the right dosage," She added.I turned to Nathan, "I didn't ask what attacked both of you. Can you tell us how to make our work better? It would help if you can describe as well.""Sure." Nathan stood, dug into his pocket, and brought out a sheet of paper with a pen in his hand. "I'll try my best to draw as well. Although I am terrible at art."Riley and I nodded. I didn't care if he drew it well; I only wanted to know what had attacked him so Riley could find spells in her book to cure him.At this rate, I didn't think we could do anything without Vesper. Since it was said teamwork was the only way out for most of the things we engaged in, I believed this wasn't differe
Mystic Academy I'm not your buddy
ZAIN POVI never thought seeing Vesper again would bring back the jealousy I felt that night. It was even mightier than the first time.He appearing in my doorway, looking all bloodied and asking for Kelani even though he saw everyone present. It was as if it was only Kelani that existed to him.Well, maybe she was the only one who existed. At that instant, I had just wanted him to stay out and get attacked once again.I knew that attack would kill him. But then, I didn't care. I didn't feel anything at that moment.All my thoughts were borderline evil.Now he was on the fucking bed she had left on, and there she kept checking him out at intervals as if he was the only one she could see.When I stepped into this room again, I smelt Vesper on Kelani. I knew Lance did, too, because I saw him frowning in Vesper's direction.And Kelani's body was bloodied, which confirmed my suspicion, likewise her lips.Had she kissed him? I wondered. It wasn't unlikely, yet I couldn't think of it happen
Mystic Academy I'm not his keeper
KELANI POV"What happened back there?" I asked Zain as I tended to his bruise. Even though it was not really necessary, as it was already fading, I wanted to get him out of there.It felt like if he continued to stay in the same place as Lance, he would be tempted to do something awful."He tried to kill me," Zain said, wincing as I pressed my hand to the bruise."Do you have a broken rib?" I asked him."Seems like it," He gritted his teeth, then sucked in a breath as I prodded him, "I am going to kill that bastard.""You won't do no such thing," I said, letting his shirt fall back down."Why not? He fucking tried to kill me, Kelani. I am sure if you had been there, you'd have said otherwise.""I did stop that from happening, didn't I? And it's the reason I brought you here. When Lance is done watching, you can resume," I said.Zain grumbled for a brief second, "I wish you came a few minutes late.""I don't believe you could have done anything to him," I said."You don't even know hal
