last update Last Updated: 2024-12-20 21:48:23

🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀

Silence descended, everyone I had injured stayed rooted to the ground, and the man I just brutally slaughtered, lay lifeless on the ground, his ripped-out heart still beating on my palm, dripping with blood.

Suddenly, I clasped my head which was throbbing with a sharp ache. As I struggled to understand the situation, a wave of memories came flooding back to me.

At first, they were fragmented and disjointed, like pieces of a puzzle that refused to fit together. But as the moments ticked by, the memories began to merge, forming a picture that made my blood run cold.

I remembered the stubbornness, the determination to stop my father that had consumed me. I remembered the feeling of being unstoppable, of being above any consequences. And I remembered the terrible thing I had done.

Killing and wiping out a realm that took me in, people that took me as family, people I swore to protect, I had killed them all.

A wave of horror washed over me as the full weight of my actio

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀The Angel gawked at me with a look that said, “Don't regret this”. Yes, I knew I was doing something terrible, and I would definitely regret it, but I won't go on without Arwan either. If I am to fight, then I'm fighting with Arwan by my side.“Put his heart back in his chest and step away from him,” The angel commanded.With trembling hands, I quickly did as instructed and stepped away from Arwan.After a bright light that made me slam my eyes shut, the angel disappeared but Arwan was still unconscious.I ran towards him, his ripped-apart chest had mended but it left a thick scar that would never be forgotten.I stood up and walked towards the others, “Bruno,” I called out, “I'm sorry.”Othello stood in front and retorted, “Stay away from him.”“Clara,” I whispered, tears gathering in my eyes as she shivered and looked away in fear.I turned towards Arlo, his expression unfriendly and unwanted.Lavanya, her face filled with hatred, fear and anger spat, “You are no

    🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀We stared in stunned silence, my mind processing the words that had just been spoken. “Some weird-looking creatures, alongside the werewolves, are here… the real werewolves. They came with their alpha leading in front.” Othello said.“The werewolves?” Bruno asked to be positive and Othello nodded in acceptance, repeatedly stamping his feet anxiously.“What? Why? Where…” I blurted out, “The last time we met with werewolves, it was war.”“I don't know,” Othello retorted firmly, “But I don't think they want war this time, they look too peaceful to be wanting war. You should perhaps talk to them, Arwan.”“Why me? I have barely recovered,” I lamented.Othello glanced at me, “You lead us here, you are the ancient one. Plus – I don't want Bruno's life to be in danger.”“Huh?” I voiced, “So I lead now, but when Bruno was all bent on killing my Melonie, he boldly stood in front… Greedy people.”“Just go talk to those goddamn werewolves,” Bruno growled, “So they can leave.”“L

  • SHADOWED SALVATION   CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: WHY CAN'T WE BE HAPPY?

    🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀I was unable to sleep that night, all I thought about was why I suddenly dreamt about my mother and what the dream could hold.What made it even more frightening was the fact that a dream is a gift from the angels, it's very rare to dream unless on special occasions.“Is it a side effect of being brought back from the dead or does it mean something more?” I thought.I went outside my room; it was almost dawn and all that floated into my brain was that I was going to see Melonie that morning.“Not sleeping?” A voice called out behind me.I snapped my head back in shock, “Clara?” “Hey?” She responded calmly.“Why are you here? How do you feel now?” I asked, “Are you perhaps sitting here worried because we will be leaving for the werewolf's realm tomorrow?”“Oh c'mon, I've healed,” Clara retorted, “I just don't know how to face her.”“Who?” I reasoned out, “Melonie?”“Hm,” she announced, “She was my best friend but now my enemy.”I walked closer to her, “She shouldn't

So you are dead to me!”I stood there, frozen in confusion, as I watched her talk.I felt a sting of rejection, a pang of hurt, as I realised I'd been ditched. Again. I thought we had something, a connection, a friendship. But I guess I was wrong.I replayed the conversation, wondering where I'd gone wrong. Had I said something to offend her? Had I done something to upset her? But the more I thought about it, the more I realized it wasn't me. She chose to leave, to abandon our plans, to ignore me.I felt a wave of anger wash over

    🥀 CLARA'S POV 🥀I could swear life meant to hurt me, with the way every good thing and happiness kept elapsing in my world.Day by day life became war and horror that made me barely want to be in the world.Nothing was fun in my life, I have no reason to be alive, nothing to fight for.I was just there, dragged into a fight that I know nothing about, elbowed into heartbreak and destruction as if that was all I was born for.I stamped my feet on the ground like a lost child, “Just why?” I thought.All I could think about was how rude, shameless and annoying life had gotten and I barely noticed the shadow lurking around, and when I did, it startled the already frustrated life out of me.My twin sister stood there, with tear-filled face gawking at me, “Clara…” she murmured.“Cassandra,” I called back dragging my feet forward, “No... no… no, tell me it's not true. Fucking tell me I'm not hallucinating.”I never knew my parents, when I grew up, I was told that my twin sister and myself w

They are no longer the family they once knew. They are here to kill them.”Alpha Vargus stood rooted to a spot, “What are you waiting for?” I yelled, “Everyone with a dead family is in danger as we speak.”Promptly, he transformed into a werewolf and stormed away.My eyes widened in horror as a memory of Mrs. Hunter came rushing in, “Arwan…”I launch

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀You know that feeling? When you feel like you are the cause of everyone's sorrow? Yes, I feel worse than that.I feel like I am nothing but a calamity to innocent people, my emotions are empty, making me feel like a walking corpse.I glanced around, and I noted thousands of people I inflicted pain on, just by being born — and yet, the battle is only beginning.I dragged my heavy feet towards the lake nearby and went deep into it with clothes on.Sinking deep into it in an attempt to kill myself. At that moment, it felt like the right thing to do, killing myself to save people from soon-to-come problems caused by me.Thirty minutes deep in the lake, I began to swallow a lot of water because I could hardly hold my breath and slowly consciousness was knocking out of my body when I heard Arwan's voice echoing repeatedly, “Melonie…”I didn't stop, actually, it fueled my desire to die; because I didn't want to hurt him.**🥀**🥀 ARWAN'S POV 🥀I jumped into the lake, it

I'm sorrier.”Clara pulled me into a hug, “Don't worry about it, it's all in the past now.”A warm smile spread across my cheeks, “I missed you, Clara.”“I missed you too bestie,” she retorted, “Do your right cheek hurt from the thunderous slap I gave you earlier?”“S

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀We sat in the hall, surrounded by the familiar comforts of home, but the atmosphere was heavy with sadness. Every single member of the family was struggling to come to terms with whatever damn scene was going on.Bruno's eyes cast downward, his shoulders slumped in defeat. Othello sat beside him, his eyes red from crying. He had been struggling to accept that Arwan was now a dragon, a god.Arlo and Clara sat on the floor, their faces sombre. Our usual warmth and laughter were replaced with an uncomfortable silence. No one knew how to lift the gloom that had settled over us. We all felt lost and alone, each struggling to cope with our sorrows.As the evening wore on, the sadness seemed to deepen, filling every corner of the room.I was a shadow of myself, even my shadow was hopeless. For a fact, I was far more dead than the Arwan in question. My eyes, red and puffy from the emotional release, felt heavy and tired.The sobs that had wracked my body had finally sub

The air was alive with electricity, and the wind howled with a voice that was both fierce and beautiful. It whipped his hair into a frenzy; his clothes were torn and buffeted, threatening to rip from his body at any moment.Suddenly, a brilliant flash of lightning illuminated the sky, the sound that followed was like nothing else in nature, another deafening, earth-shaking crash of thunder that seemed to shake the very foundations of the earth.Arwan’s body began

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀I looked down at my hand in horror as I saw the bright red blood oozing out of the cut. It was a deep gash, one that seemed to stretch across my palm like a jagged smile.I looked at Arwan; there was a sorry expression on his face, but he was still determined to drag Alastor out.He raised his sword again and aimed it at me, but this time Alastor stopped the attack.“I knew you'd come,” Arwan growled.Alastor looked at me and pushed me behind him in an attempt to protect me, and I slowly bit my lips in sadness.“I told you never to lay your hands on her,” Alastor snarled and launched towards Arwan.“Arwan, no, you can't fight him!” I screamed.I stood frozen in horror, my eyes fixed on the unimaginable scene unfolding before me. Arwan, Bruno, Alpha Vargus, Lavanya, Clara, Arlo, Dracula, and Othello are all being cut down by the relentless onslaught of the enemy.No matter how hard they fought, the demons weren't dying but multiplying.The sounds of war filled the a

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀It was a quiet, gloomy morning. It was like we were mourning something we had yet to lose.Arwan stood in front, “I'm sure every one of us is aware of the gravity of this fight. 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, “

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀I dragged myself up from the bed, I looked outside and realised it was already very dark.Alastor must have slept off by now, I waited and gave him enough time to fall asleep so I could fulfil my Terrible mission.“I'm going to kill him,” I whispered, holding my breath, “It's the right thing to do.”I walked out of my room, twisted the doorknob to Alastor's room and carefully tiptoed into his room.He was sleeping beautifully, and I tiptoed to his bedside.I glanced at the sword where he kept it, and I slowly picked it up.I pointed the sword towards his chest, supporting one arm with the other.I stood there with my eyes fixed on Alastor. 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,

    🥀 MELONIE'S POV 🥀I couldn't believe I was fighting my own mother, but she didn't hesitate either.She had a smirk on her face that said, “Bring it on.”Her attacks and defences made me realise she was indeed ready to kill me.“Are you really my mother?” I couldn't help but ask in the middle of the fight.She smiled, “Unfortunately, yes. 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

If something terrible was going to happen, I wanted to be the first to know.“Alastor where are we going?” I whispered anxiously.Without looking back he responded, “Shh. 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
