We dance to the songs of the birds, staring deeply at each other. Slowly I lean in, caressing his cheeks as his breath fans my lips... "Hermio-neee." A distant voice calls. Just a little more, our lips saunter closer. "Her-mio-neee! Don't make me come get you! Get your lazy ass off that bed and come do the chores!" My grandmother hollers, disrupting me from the fantasy. "Argggh! Why every time!?" I murmur unhappily, palming my face as I make my way off the bed. "Good morning, ma'am." I greet them on reaching the dining room. Ketura, on the other hand, is fully dressed for school and is having tea and pancakes laced with maple syrup for breakfast. She looks up only to smirk at me. “Hermione do tell, why are you are waking up just now? Would you rather I do the chores for you or Ketura does it?!" My grandmother asks sternly, plopping heands beneath her chin. I gulp, looking from Grandmother to Ketura. "No, I'll rather do it. I am sorry ma'am." I say shakily, for fear of what's to c

"Wait! What?!... Today is my birthday?" I ask gobsmack. Glinda nods excitedly, On the cake was: Happy 16th Birthday, Hermione.I shake my head in disbelief, inhaling deeply "Today is the seventh day of the seventh moon?" I ask. Glinda nods again."Oh gracious goddess! Today is my birthday!?! ...I totally forgot!" I exclaim excitedly"Yeah, I knew you would Hermione..." She says with a smile. The Elfs and Fairies circled our table, and began singing a birthday song. I felt deep warmth."Thank you so much everyone..." I say to them as they sing on"Thank you too Best friend." I mouth to Glinda, as I swirl the song. Needless to say, that Elfs and Fairies are the life of a party. They love parties and celebration to a fault.Ketura and her minion-witches stared on five seats away, with contempt. I happily pull Glinda to my imaginary dance floor and soon, everyone was dancing."What is going on here?!!!" Principal Eldor thunders abru

My eyes' flips open to see a white shinning bulb. I turn to see Ares and Athena; the children of the king staring at me "Your Majesty!" I sit up in fright."How are you feeling?" Athena's voice came soothingly. Somebody pinch me, is this a dream?"Good... I feel good, ma'am." I answer slowly. Suddenly, the pictures started rushing back... Eros and I. Eros rejected me. My mate rejected me.I burst into tears, Athena extends a piece of cloth to me "I... don't... know...he... didn't... even...give...me...a.. chance..." I sob loudly"We saw..." Athena says sadly, while Ares looks away gritting his teeth."How...do...I...make...this...stop?...It hurts...so...bad" I cry, clawing at my chest. Athena reaches over, hugging me.If it were a different circumstance, I would have probably screamed my lungs out, to the heavens that Princess Athena hugged me; a royal hugged me. Instead sadness, pain, anger envelopes me as I cry into her arms.

"One. We are one." Two voices chant."One. We are one." It whispers in my head, I try to open my eyes. Everything seems fuzzy. I lean on the wall, my head hurts."One. We are one!" The voice again."What is going?" I mutter half-heartedly"My name is Ezra, you named me Ezra. Here also is Camli; your wolf." A voice says"Hello, my name is Camli. I can't believe I am finally talking to you, I have lived inside of you since you were born. I am the wolf side of you." another voice saysEvery sound felt too loud and jamming, I could hear and smell the onions grandmother is chopping downstairs in the kitchen. I could see and tell every minor detailing in my room, the rough edges of the paint, the tiny ants crawling on it, spiders, cobwebs."Just breathe in Hermione, Breathe in slowly..." They say.My vision felt red, I taste blood on my lips. Something sharp was stretching out from my teeth "What is happening to me?" I panic, rushing

The class quieten as I walk in, the subject teacher wasn't in yet "Hermione." Glinda whispers, waving at me from the back.I stroll to where Glinda sat, ignoring the hundreds of eyes on me "... There's been a lot of rumors about you lately." Glinda starts saying"Oh, okay." I say half-heartedly, dropping my books on the table"A lot of students are saying that..." Glinda starts to say"Please don't, Glinda. I am not interested in whatever they have to say." I say to Glinda, halting her"But these are serious allegations, Hermione!" Glinda whispers again."... Now, look who it is..." Ketura calls, her minions cheering her. She walks over to Eros; who is seated two seats from Glinda and I, and plops her buttocks on his laps."Little cousin, I'll show you what you can never get." She utters, grabbing Eros' face and kissing him hardly, all the while not moving her eyes from me.The whole class watch on anticipatingly, expecting me

I walk out, still seething in anger as I approach the cafeteria. Students hanging on the route instinctively paves way for me. I plop my buttocks on the empty chair beside Princess Athena and Prince Ares; who simply looks at me and the crowd that had gathered..."Okay?" Princess Athena mumbles, uncovering the meal before her "Somebody doesn't look too happy..."My eyes suddenly went to the table, my mouth watering at the delicacies before me. Prince Ares on seeing the expression of my face, pushed the spiced chicken before me. I grab it hungrily, eating it in five bites. I still felt extremely hungry. I look at them expectantly."Okay, someone is still hungry." Princess Athena says, extending her plate towards me. I look at her shyly, shaking my head."Go on..." She smiles encouraginglyI lurch at the food in a gluttonous manner, that when I lifted up my gaze from the empty plate, I suddenly felt embarrassed. How could I have acted this way in front of the royal children? Like someo

"Hello Hermione!""Hi, Hermione!""Hermione, can I walk with you?""Hermione, your uniform looks so nice on you.""Hermione, your skin is really glowing today! Mind sharing what herbal potion you are using for your skin?" Smiling faces greets me in the hallway.Students can be so unloyal and mean. Now that the Queen Bee is bedridden, everybody is acting all nice towards who put her in that situation. Not because they want to be on the safer side, but because the outcast has suddenly displayed a good prowess of witchcraft."Thanks." I fake a smile, waving at them. I find my locker easily as two seeming geeks pops up in front of me."Hermione, can we help you take your books to the class?" They ask"Hmm ...not to worry, I can take these myself." I utter, closing my locker."Please Hermione, let's just help you." They say, giving me weird glances."No, thank you. I can carry my books myself." I answer, making to move away from them."Please Hermione..." They say insistingly, creeping me

Another member of the council clears his throat loudly "Alright, let's begin... Miss Hermione Crofus! Do you deny using magic wrongfully to hurt a fellow student?""I do not deny using magic, but I deny using it wrongfully." I answer curtly. They share glances again."So, explain to this noble council why Miss Ketura Crofus is currently in this state?" The man rubs his beard thoughtfully, pointing to her. Ketura tries to hide a knowing smile, but it slips anyway.I frown "Ketura simply tried to attack me after a class, and I defended myself!""That's not entirely true, your nobles. I only confronted her after Mr. Toleofretus class about how she was able to make a dead flower come alive, reason been that over time, she has performed woefully in her tests and assessments. Her results over time will testify to this. I did think it was unhealthy, dishonest and fraudulent to lie to a teacher and our classmates." She bows, sitting down.Such beautiful speech. I fight the urge to roll my eye

It was first about doing what made my twin happy after the loss of our elder sister.That was it, I told myself repeatedly. No one knew about the mysterious girl in my dreams, save Athena.Athena did know about the frequent dreams, but what she didn't know, was that the said-girl who she had asked me to keep watch of, is a replica of this mysterious girl in my dreams. However, the only difference was the hair color. One had white, and the other; red.No wonder, when we finally became friends; I called her Red. It was for me, a subtle way of reminding myself that she isn't the one...When had I fallen so hard for the girl, I was to protect? When had I fallen so hard, for my female best friend?Call me selfish, cold even. After all, it is all that I have learnt from my master; Lord Osteri, these few moons. Allegra and Helios will have to compromise. For my heart and soul belongs to the girl of my dreams.Hermione Circe Crofus, is mine.

"Drekusa tiru fizua shinim Osteri voi tilan ku." His back against me, as he towers over Ares still-body on the marble. A dagger in his hand, darkness slowly calls me... My eyes flutter open; A hefty paled skinned demon steps out from the red portal. The demon smirks, casting his gaze from Principal Eldor, to Ares, and me. My breath hitches up in fear, I try to fight the darkness overwhelming me, it pulls me nonetheless into subconsciousness... as the demon fangs press into my neck. "This isn't wh..." Principal Eldor's angry voice fades away... _ "Hermione, wake up." A subtle tap wakes me from my slumber. "Her-mionee." The voice calls again. My eyes snaps open to see figures hovering me, the dim cloud behind them. "Are you okay Hermione? Where's Ares? What's that on your lips? Is that blood?" Voices throw questions at me, noises' jamming, bells ringing in my head... I make to sit up, but finds myself standing at the tree miles from them. "Woah. Hermione, how did you do that?"

Our backs caress the green grasses, the wind blowing softly. "I don't know what to say, Hermione. Did you even tell Dad, about Ezli's current state?... I still can't believe, that you kept all these in your heart. You were slowly wallowing in pain. Why didn't tell anyone? ...and still, you are preparing for the competition tomorrow!" Ares stutters, closing his eyes tightly."It's fine, I am fine. This is just another... I and Ezli will pull through." I whisper, closing my eyes too."... sometimes, I just feel like going somewhere far away, away from everything... The competition, summon in seven days’ time, Helios and I... Ezli... I just..." Instinctively I wipe the tears from the corners of my eyelids, I didn't know that I'd begun crying again... Everything hurts so bad. It feels like universe is resting on my shoulders.Ares snuggles closer, patting my hair "It all will turn out beautifully, Red." He whispers, having that look in his face. I knew he had a lot going on his mind "…I w

"Don't worry Hermione, we will just be outside the door. Nothing is going to happen. You shouldn't be nervous." Athena smiles, ushering me into Principal Eldor's office.I ignore Ares' intent gaze on my face, as I plaster a nervous smile to Athena "Thank you." I murmur, turning quickly, before the question in my mouth rolls off.How about Hwuakiti?I do notice their subtle hostility towards Glinda now and then, but I wouldn't be the one to ruin any relationship further. Since nobody is talking about the Queen's return from consulting Hwuakiti. I shouldn't say anything either....but Hwuakiti is to know that Glinda is using dark magic on Helios, or is she not?What did Hwuakiti tell the Queen? Why is nobody saying anything?Why am I even here? I turn to see Principal Eldor smiling mischievously at me.If only, Athena knew... Well, the person who knows about the principal's illicit interest in me, have absconded yet again, on another trip with her minions. Glinda, who I might have told,

“Fine! I am Fairy Circe! You got me, so what now?!” I groan, matching Athena’s gaze angrily. Swiftly she tackles me into the bed, I bring my hand up to protect me from a hit. instead, I hear a subtle chuckle, slowly transcending into a loud laughter.Okay. so, this is not the expression I was expecting. Soft kisses press on my cheeks abruptly “My sister-in-love.” Athena giggles happily“So, you are Helios’ mate?” Ares asks lowly“Yeah… kinda.” I murmur, not meeting his eyesYayyy!!” Long arms reach out for Athena and I, swinging us excitedly “Best news ever!!!” Ares says happily. Mixed delicious scents overwhelmed me “Too tight… can’t breathe.” I struggle to say“Oh, sorry.” They both hesitatingly let go off me. I try to catch my breath. Athena slowly extends her palms to Adonis, who seem like he has been having a hard time, processing what I just said.“Pay up!” Athena says with a smirkPay up? What’s that?? Ares tries to hide the small smile escaping from his lips, it slips anyway.

“How far is it?” Glinda grumbles to Ares, falling into my pace. I know she has been meaning to say something to me since we left the house.Helios and her had gotten a ride together, while the rest of us had snuggled up in Ares’ fly car, much to Athena’s detriment; who wanted some time alone with her mate, who's been talking excitedly with Ares about the training house.I, on the other hand have been having my best moments with just thinking about, how Helios looked away when I winked at him. Could he perhaps, be having some desires for me?“You should swipe off that smirk from your face, Hermione. You are not getting my man.” Glinda spits angrily“Oh. I am so scared, Glinda." I scoff, before looking at the birds that perched on a maple tree.“Stay away from Helios, Hermione. I am warning you. Do not look at him, do not as much do anything with him!” Glinda threatens, her eyes going darkMy eyes roll nonchalantly “Do what? Like kiss him under the full moon, outside the royal ball? The

"Everything is happening so fast. My brother's mate is now more relatable. I found my own mate here in this house, and now final exams is almost over ...Not to forget that we all would be going to your coven's meeting in seven days’ time. I am not even sure that we will be allowed into the main cult premises… royals or no royals privilege. My Dad is finally back from his endless meetings with the mortals... and Adonis is so..." Athena rambles on and on, sprawled on my bed.Issh. Your brother's mate huh? I make to knock her, but then my hand falls resigningly beside oblivious Athena.She doesn't know. No one does, save for Dad and I.Moreso, I wouldn't want her to use that another cue to leave to go see Adonis again… Don’t those two ever get tired of each other? Like she practically spends every moment of hers with my brother. Arggh… and it just has been quite a really long time since it was just us two.My brother just innocently came and stole my best friend. Well, he should thank th

"Your mate? Glinda, I presume...?" Dad's eyes narrow even fiercely"Mr. Crofus? You are Hermione's father? How comes no one told me about you?" Glinda finally finds her voice "Well, I am Glinda and it is so nice meeting you, Mr. Crofus" Glinda curtseys, extending her hand for a handshake. For a second, Glinda’s smile actually felt genuine."Hermione's Ex-best friend. It is nice to meet you too, Glinda." Dad shakes her hand firmly, before letting go. She almost falls."You mind joining us?" Dad says half-heartedly, before continuing with his meal"I really do not mind, sir. Thank you." Glinda finds a sit, beside Helios. She smiles happily.I watch her beneath my eyelashes. Is my dad charming or something? …Or could it be seeing a father figure after so long, that's affecting her this way?If only you had told me, Glinda... I would have been there for you regardless…“Eyes up Hermione, you are becoming soft towards our enemy.” Ezli seethes“Sorry. I just feel sympathy, that’s all.” I mu

"Would you want to go back to sleep, or would you want us to talk outside?" Helios suggested, and here we are outside the house with his blanket. I could fall asleep just by wallowing in his scent."Another full moon." I whisper, staring at it and the constellations in the sky"It's beautiful" He whispers "...why do I feel like we have been under the full moon before? But that was Glinda in the royal ball..." He mutters thoughtfullyMy heart twist painfully. It took me everything not to grab him by the shoulders and shout "Can't you see what's in front of you? I am your mate!"Instead, I calmly say "Glinda? Can you tell me about it?""She had always filled my dreams all these years... I had long been searching for my mate, when she walked into the ballroom that day. She smelt so heavenly from where she was standing, looking lost and enthralling. I make to my feet when she introduced herself as Glinda... It was a dream come true for me, I had finally my mate. I ask her for a dance, too
