last update Last Updated: 2024-11-29 20:25:04

MELONIE'S POV:

I grabbed Clara by the hand, “let's go in,” I stated and she smiled at me warmly.

Arlo also came forward, “Where are you going?” He asked curiously.

“Where else, dummy? Should I remain out here? I was told this whole building was mine. And please, stop monitoring me already, it's not like I can leave this place,” I retorted, rolling my eyes.

“Hey!” Arwan called and I froze, “We begin training tomorrow morning, get ready,” he announced firmly.

“Don't tell me what to do, you heartless kidnapper,” I growled and walked away, dragging Clara along.

We got in and I picked my room, Clara also picked hers and so did Arlo and Arwan.

Arwan's room was opposite mine, Clara's was beside and Arlo's was opposite Clara's.

“Oh my God! I've never had a room since I was born here,” Clara Swooned delightfully.

I looked at my well-prepared room; I was satisfied with it, but I still wasn't satisfied with the new, strange world.

We went down for dinner and after dinner, I stormed straight to my room.

“You are going to bed now?” Clara asked from behind.

“Yes, I still haven't wrapped my head around things and the new changes in my life,” I replied truthfully.

“You should hurry up, you don't really have a lot of time, you have a lot of enemies when they sniff you down here, your life would be tragic,” Arlo announced cruelly.

“Can you all please stop singing to my ears that I won't have peace? You think it's fun huh? Do you find it funny?” I yelled with a serious face.

“It's part of accepting who you are, Melonie,” Arlo yelled back dramatically.

“Right! That I shouldn't have been born? That I am a nightmare, a forbidden seed? That my fate is full of pain, trauma and heartbreak? That I would never be happy because I keep getting hunted down like a grasshopper? That a lot of beings out there either want me dead or want to use me as a weapon? How sweet a life that is!” I screamed, sarcasm dripping.

“That's why you need to be strong, you need to accept it and train yourself so you can protect yourself. Melonie if you discover who you truly are, nobody can hurt you,” Clara added thoughtfully.

“Training starts tomorrow,” Arwan mumbled out of the blue.

“Can you please just shut up with your training shit? You are the cause of everything, you brought me here,” I snapped at him rudely and he just ignored me, focusing on his meal.

“I did what I was told to do, you were in danger,” he calmly defended.

“Then let me. It's my death, not yours… Fuck you Arwan!” I snarled.

“Don't talk to him like that Melonie, he did nothing wrong,” Arlo protested, jumping into the discussion.

I sent him a bombastic side eye, “Shut up you too! You never told me anything even if you knew everything,” I attacked.

“We can't let you fall into the wrong person's hands,” Clara softly explained.

“And how am I sure you all are not the wrong people?” I retorted, gawking at her.

“Just trust us,” Arlo rasped, pausing his lips.

“Oops! I have trust issues,” I snapped back.

“Melonie…” Arlo menacingly muttered.

I threw my hands up in the air, “Please leave me alone. You can't expect me to accept all these sour desserts all at once, I didn't choose this life. All I wanted was to live a normal life but now, my life is fucked up. Because I'm one Melonie Aeron, a forbidden seed and a nightmare to realms.” I snapped back and flooded into my room.

“I'll talk to her,” Clara stated and trailed behind me while Arwan simply focused on his meal like he didn't give a fuck.

“Melonie, who you are is a blessing,” Clara stated, trailing behind me.

“No Clara. Who I am, is a curse! I am a curse and you know it, deep down, you are scared of me just like everyone else. You are scared that I would hurt you,” I announced firmly.

“You are wrong. I am anxious, Anxious that there are a lot of threats around us right now and more to come if they realize where you are. If you keep acting childish, you will get us all killed. Put this into consideration and stop being selfish, the fate of thousands of people in this realm is dancing in your palms… don't quash it. We are all here to help you, put your trust issues aside and let us help you grow,” she responded truthfully.

I stared at her reluctantly and then muttered “I'm sorry, I - I can't!” I responded calmly and walked into my room, locking the door behind me.

I walked to my bed to sit, brushing my hair back with the tip of my fingers in frustration.

Suddenly, the door shook violently as a loud, thunderous kick crashed against it. The sound was like a crack of lightning, sudden and intense, and it seemed to reverberate through every cell of my body.

I watched in horror as the door creaked and groaned, the lock straining against the force of the kick. For a moment, it seemed like the door would hold, but then, with a sickening crunch, the lock gave way, and the door burst open, splintering and cracking as it swung wildly on its hinges.

Arwan stood in the entrance, his eyes blazing with a fierce intensity. He was a towering figure, his presence seeming to fill the entire room, and I felt a shiver run down my spine as he took a step forward, gawking at me fearlessly.

The air was thick with tension, and I could feel the weight of his gaze upon me. I tried to speak, to ask him what he wanted, but my voice caught in my throat, and all that came out was a faint whisper. “Do you realize that I can burn you right now?”

He took another step forward, his eyes never leaving mine, and I felt a sense of dread wash over me.

“Do you know that I could kill you right now?” He retorted rudely.

I was lost in the moment, my eyes locked on his, as he moved closer to me. The noise of the crowded room faded into the background, and all I could focus on was the intense gaze of the handsome man in front of me.

Suddenly, without warning, he reached out and pulled me close, his arms wrapping around me like a vice, his warm breath on my skin, sending shivers down my spine.

For a moment, we just stood there, frozen in time, as the world around us melted away. I felt like I was drowning in the depths of his eyes, unable to look away or break free from his grasp.

Then, without a word, Arwan leaned in closer, “I know you think you are powerful and everyone should be scared of you, But I could kill you without glitching or rethinking. I am ancient, the only surviving oldest in this realm after my mother, and you are just an eighteen-year-old hybrid yet to discover her powers. Remember that! I'm yet to uncover someone who can win against me, and it's definitely not you. If you yell at me again - I'll teach you a lesson hard to forget, fromnow on, you listen to me. Do you understand?” His thick manly voice echoed out.

“I must have been swallowed by all the problems in my life, because why am I just noticing that his cuteness is life-threatening.”

Your daddy?”“Fuck you Arwan,” I retorted displeased.Ignoring me, he pointed towards a direction facing him, “Come here!”Without arguing, I walked closer, kicking my legs and throwing my arms to gather my strength.“Clean up this room,” he declared.I stared at him, rolling my eyes, “Sorry?”“Your first lesson would be manners, you lack that,” he responded calmly.“Are you fine? Are you sure you are not hungry or tasty? Or maybe you are pressed. Go on, take a poop. I'll be waiting if it'll make you feel better,” I snarled.He walked closer to me, his shadow covering my entire existence, “Talk to me disrespectfully again and watch me slap you into next week.

Stay here, go into your room and lock the door and windows. It's safer that way.”“You broke the lock,” I stated in remembrance.He paused for a while as if trying to verify what I said, “Then go into mine.”Arwan left the building I was, into the main building to save others, I couldn't explain it, but strangely, there was this force pulling me to him.“Arwan,” I murmured in fear.I trailed behind him, and for a reason, I could barely leave him to get hurt, even if there was barely anything I could do.“Everyone, vacate this building and move into Mel

Jump in front of those things and get snapped in two? Gosh, you all never loved me,” I retorted firmly.My gaze fell on Arwan. Although everyone was scared, he seemed to be deep in thought, trying to come up with a solution. “I'll lead them away from the building,” Arwan blurted out.“That's ridiculous,” I spat back, “No Arwan. That's a terrible idea! You can't do that.”“I have less of a choice right now,” he defended, “That door will not hold, a lot of people will die. Our realm will be wiped and emptied, never to be remembered.”“THOSE DEADLY THINGS WILL KILL YOU!” I yelled out in panic, “They are not one or two; there are a lot out there, waiting to tear us apart like over boiled chickens.”Arwan took steps closer to me, “I know Melonie, but

I explained.Arlo nodded in understanding, “It would have been weird if that didn't happen. She literally saved us all.”A warm smile spread across my face, “She saved me.”It took hours, before Melonie calmly opened her eyes, “Where am I?” She asked, looking around.A teasing smirk appeared on my face, “In heaven, you died a while ago.”She scoffed out loud, struggling to get up, “Jokes on you.”**🥀**MELONIE'S POV:I could barely feel myself, my body ached from the fight and overuse of power.“Can you stand?” Arwan asked calmly.I nodded in approval, “Yes.

We may lose someone we love, but I really hope we don't lose anyone precious to us… again.”I glanced around: Bruno held Othello's hand tightly, Clara held Arlo's, Dracula stared at Lavanya, Alpha Vargus stared into the void, and Arwan stared at me.“All our lives, we have always been fighting. At some point, I wished for peace, but we never got what we wished for. Once this fight is over, everything should be back to the way it used to be, and I hope every one of us will be here to experience that peace that we have all wanted,” Arwan announced. “I can see the fear no matter how hard you all are trying to hide it, I understand… we are fighting something very powerful, but we are stronger together.”“We are ready to stand and fight Arwan,” Bruno declared.“I'm not ready,” Clara whispered, “

The weight of the moment was crushing me, making it hard to breathe. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of emotions, unable to escape the pain that was gripping my heart.As I looked at him, I felt a lump forming in my throat. My eyes began to sting, and before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face. I was crying bitterly,

I'm the thing that gave birth to you.”I bit my lower lips as I fought back the tears that were threatening to leak.She took that as an opportunity to strike and sliced my right arm open with her claws.“Arrgg,” I winced in pain, “Mother, why? I thought about a thousand ways meeting you would be… but I never thought about a fight.”“Well, I did,” she retorted, “I couldn't get my mind off meeting you and killing you.”I looked at Alastor. The pain in my arm affected him and got his attention. “Melonie, you are hurt,” he yelled.“You mean We,” I whispered, biting my lip.Warrick also took that as an advantage and struck Alastor hard in the gut.I yel

Just follow me, Melonie, trust me.”We were in a dark, cold, and scary forest. I felt like we were lost, but no matter how hard I asked, he would tell me to just follow him.“Are you sure you know where Warrick is?” I couldn't help but ask.“Melonieeeee,” he growled and I slammed my lips shut.“Whoops! Sorry!”Finally, we got to a cave and he directed us to walk in. I followed behind and we got into the dark cave with a terrifying smell.“Jeez, what in the heck smells like this?” I voiced.Alastor looked back with a smirk, “Animal blood. It's a lot of them, Warrick kills wild animals like mosquitoes. That's a sign he's close by.”We finally got to the end of the cave, but it was empty.“Is this it?” I asked breathing heavily. “Are you sure he didn't leave this

I glanced at Bruno and noticed he was staring at me.“What are you doing? You should be working,” I pointed out.Bruno inhaled sharply, “This won't do, I'll move closer.”I blinked innocently, “Coming closer to where? We agreed not to talk to each other or come close to each other for an hour, what are you doing? Let's focus, you are distracting me.”“Just a little closer,” he muttered, pouting.He stood up from where he was sitting, walking towards me.I stood up, “Stay right there.”He shook his head and started walking even closer.With a smile on my face, I took two steps back, three steps and then I started running from Bruno.He took that as a hint and started running after me, “Why are you running?”“We promised to focus for an hour,” I yelled back and increased my pace.Giggles, chuckles and loud laugh

But instead, I was met with a surprise that made my heart skip a beat.Right… the wall gecko was still in my room.There he was, Dracula standing in the shower, completely naked. I froze, my eyes fixed on the unexpected sight before me.For a moment, time seemed to stand still. I felt like I was trapped in a snapshot, unable to move or look away. Dracula, oblivious to my presence, continued to take a shower, dancing, humming a tune and shaking his butt like he was Moana, competing for Grammy. I felt a rush of emotions, surprise, embarrassment, and a hin

His arms enveloped me in return, holding me close as we stood there, swaying gently to the rhythm of our own beating hearts.The warmth of his body seeped into mine, chasing away any chill or tension that may have been lingering. I felt my muscles relax, my breath slow, and my mind quiet as I surrendered to the safety and security of his embrace.His chest rose and fell with each breath, and I felt my breathing synchronize with his as if our hearts were beating as one. The warmth of his skin radiated through his clothing, and I could feel the gentle pressure of his fingers wrapped around my back, holding me close.“I was searching for you when I came in, where were you?” I asked calmly.“I was out,” he responded.I smiled warmly, “Doing what?”“Killing,” he blurted out.I pulled away and he looked at me with innocent eyes that said, “What did I do?”“Do you have Ashera?” I asked, cha
