“You’ll have three days before classes start, so take that time to get settled in; I’ll give it to you two.”, the headmistress said before leaving.
Closing the folder before looking up, I watch as Jess rubs her eyes sleepily, so not take the chance that she’ll run into a few things in her bedroom. I lift her up and begin walking towards her room; halfway to her room and she’s already passed out. Her sleep schedule is all out of whack, so I don’t hold it against her. Laying her down, before covering her up with the blanket, once I was out of her room and back in the living room, I grabbed the key and to find the headmistress’s office. Passing a couple of people, as they whisper but honestly not caring, so I pay them no mind at all; after asking for help halfway through, since the key didn’t change into a map. Making a mental note of where her office is a
Tj quickly raises his hands before putting them back on the wheel. Glaring at the guy as he tries to hide the smirk that’s forming on his face. Not wanting to be more pissed, I put my focus on something other than him, which was outside. Taking notice of the name, Уникальный; I keep my eyes open to see all the unique stores they have. Excited to explore a new place; he parks the car and we all get out, heading over to our other friends to see that Maya wasn’t with them.“Maya ran off.”, Zane says bluntly.Letting out a laugh at how bluntly he said it as if this was a normal occasion. Jess was about to run off as well, but I quickly grabbed the back of her shirt and gave her a knowing look. Pouting while crossing her arms as I let her go; “I’ll buy you something from their sweet store if you behave.”, I tell her.
As we wait in line, Jess gets antsy. Before anything could happen, Molly speaks loudly, “Looky here, it seems like a half-ling!”Jess lets out a growl while moving closer, quickly putting my arm out to stop her as she continues to glare at her. This isn’t what we needed, Tj and Zane to take the rest of the stuff out of my hands. Rushing to get Jess in my arms and out of the store before she loses all control over her vampire side; her hair changes from lilac with baby blue bangs to pitch black with red bangs and her eyes go from blue ombre to ruby red. Shit! This isn’t good at all!“You need to calm down.”, I whisper.“Don’t tell me what to do!”, they snapped back.Great, now I have a pissed-off vampire who doesn&rsqu
“Oh, yeah. Something happened.”, I say.“You will not give me a straight answer, are you.”, he states.“Correct.”, I answered, while pulling Jess back from running into someone.“Mama, can Brandon, Maya, and I go to that store?”, she asks.“As long as they monitor you, then I have no problem.”, I state, staring at the two.They both nod their heads in a slight panic from my glare; smiling, I glance at Jess and mouth, behave, making her nod her head. Watching them head into the store, I look around to see if I can’t find a bookstore, which I quickly find. Thankfully, it was across the way from where Jess was. Книжный магазин чудес Кумы, odd name for a store, but
Heading towards the living room to see Tj still here; confused, but don’t linger on it as I put the paint out of the way. Turning around, I see Tj looking at one book, heading over. I see the book is about my family's history. “Can you read this?”, he asked me. “Yeah, it’s in English.”, I answered, somewhat confused. “Interesting.”, he says before closing the book. “Is it not English?”, I ask. “Not even close.”, he replies. Surprised, I picked up the book and opened it to see it’s in English; closing it once again before sitting down next to Tj. Leaning back on the couch as I stare up at the ceiling. I’m not used to having others over when Jess is asleep unless it was Mr. Sa
Stirring in my sleep of a heavyweight on my stomach; squatting, them away, but a giggle comes out. Knowing who it is, I still go, which makes her upset, then she tries to tickle me until she’s leaning over me when I attack. Tickling Jess as she squirms out of my grasp; laughing at how she struggles before letting her go. We lay until she has her breathing under control. Once she does, we get up.“Can we paint the room today?”, she asks.“Yeah, but ask Maya if she could text her brother to see if he could help.”, I tell her.She nods and runs off to find Maya, changing into some old clothes so I wouldn’t have to worry about getting paint for them before heading towards Jess’s room to do the same. Picking out her oldest and semi-liked outfit, then taking everything that
Let’s say I’m not. The next line is ‘learn to adapt to those around you; you will know who you are because we are similar then they may think.’ could it be how they look? That line is more confusing than the other lines. Moving onto the next one, ‘fear for loved one's shows three sets of wings that go well with our bat ears.’ Tj told me I had six holes, but I don’t have the marks nor the bat ears. Right now, I only have the eyes and the wings; maybe I can find a picture to see if I can’t get a better understanding of her. Placing the book down before going to the kitchen, while mumbling to myself about the possibilities, casually making lunch for everyone.“What are you mumbling, mama?”, Jess asks, walking into the kitchen.“I found some things out about a family member of mine.”, I say, no
“You're just a half-ling!”, Molly yells out.“No, I’m a pissed-off mother!”, I snarl.Watching as she becomes pale, but her eyes flashed red as someone comes up behind me, grabbing their throat and bringing them towards me while I move my face to get a better look at the person. It’s the same professor from the other day; hardening my eyes, tossing them aside, I make my way over to Molly. Everyone else quickly moves out of the way; Molly looks over at the professor’s table to see if she could get some help, but the look on her face says that she’s royally screwed, which makes me smirk.“You're all alone, no one is going to save you.”, I say, smirking at her.She continues to back up as I follow her until her bac
Lifting her head from under my chin and she just stares at me; confused, I open my mouth when she says, “Mama, what happened to your hair?”“What do you mean?”, I ask, before taking a stray to see that my hair was a fiery red color.It didn’t tell me that my hair was going to change color; hopefully, I don’t look bad with the fiery red, because that’s going to suck. Letting out a sigh, Jess looks back at me before saying, “You look pretty with that hair color.”“Thank you.”, I say.“Is that all that is going to happen?”, she asks.“I’m not sure; I’ll check the book, maybe there was something I missed.”, I say.
A year and a half have passed since I became queen; I’m still teaching but not full-time. Silvia has had Walter teacher of my classes, so I can focus more on getting allies. All stores must treat each dark or light creature equally. Sadly, I wasn't able to change their minds on half-lings, but I could see that talking to half-ling isn’t social suicide, so that's a bonus. The shadow beings live among the griffins. Both are quite happy; Jess has more friends, along with Griff. I met some very interesting people who somehow got away with a few things. For one, my sister is still experimenting on her family, the things I saw- she got the death penalty along with her lover. As for Mr. Jagger, let's just say there are now levels on what type of vampire you are. Right now, I’m in Silvia’s office; I have already finished teaching my classes for today, so I decide to hang out with her for a while.
She runs off with Griff as I watch the males in the room talk to one other before one of them makes a call; glancing at Silvia to see her also confused so we wait- after about a minute, the guy comes back and he stares at us, raising an eyebrow. It gets him to talk.“We call the queen since you won’t listen to my king.”, they say.“Whatever makes you happy.”, I say with a shrug.I can hear all of them hissing at me but I honestly could not care less so putting my eyes on my daughter, as she laughs while riding Griff, smiling until I smelt something familiar- whipping my head towards the smell, I see someone who looks somewhat like me; continuing to stare at them while they do the same until someone clears their throat.“Well, this is t
Not wanting her to feel like I was being nosy, I sat down in my seat and turned my attention to her.“What are you reading?”, I asked her.“A letter.”, she answers.“From?”“Mr. Jagger.”, she answers without taking her eyes off it.“Do we have him?”, I asked.“Yes… I think?”, she answers.“What does it say?”, I ask curiously.“That if I don’t take you out of here, then I’ll be removed as headmistress.”, she says.“Um, yeah, no
“Welcome to potions, everyone. We’ll be doing a quick quiz together to see just how much you know.”, Mr. Sapping says.“Before we begin, I would like it if you wrote notes down while we do this quiz.”, he says with a smile.“Now, you’ll raise your hand to answer; what are the first ingredients for Draught of Instincts?”“Rose petals.”“Yes; who can name the other ingredients?”, he asks while walking around the room.“Salt?”“Chives?”“Rose oil.”“Rosemary.”
Scared but more determined to keep Jess safe, I hold my position until Walter comes and takes her- once they’re gone, drop the ice barrier and decide to call him out.“Come out, come out, wherever you are.”, I say, taunting him.Waiting a few minutes, he comes out, hissing. Holding a laugh, I make an ice chair since he enjoys moving so slow; sitting down, I play with my fingers. Finally, he got in front of me just a few feet away- wanting to get to business done so I’m not late for class.“Is there a reason you're not with your babysitters?”“I am the king and kings don’t need babysitters.”, he hisses out.“Yes yes, I’ve heard it before.”, I say halfheart
“Does that half-ling know who we work for?”“I guess not.”“Mr. Jagger is our king, we can just tell him that a half-ling thought they could talk back to us.”Rolling my eyes at them, before saying, “Mr. Jagger is no king.” then walking away. I was going to stay to see their faces but not really wanting to so I head towards Jess- seeing her with another hybrid, I take notice that she’s just a light creature. The other hybrid is wary of Jess, but she tries to get them to realize that she will not hurt them. Stopping walking, I find another bench that has two people sitting there already, but I saw the space, so I make my way over to them. Once I sit down, I see that they’re wary of me, but I don’t hold it against them. Watching my daughter and the girl
“How are you able to control a griffin?”, he asks, glaring at me.“I don’t.”, I simply put it.“Bull!”, he screams.“It’s not, but whatever.”, I say.“Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to control a griffin?”, he says.“Griffins are free, by controlling them, they’re not.”, I state.“Don’t be stupid, you control griffin. People worship and fear you.”, he says with a smirk.“You’re stupider than you look.”, I murmured out.“What did you say! A king need
“You need to make steam so we get the venom out of our systems.”, they tell me.Quickly making the steam since I don’t know how long the venom has been in their system, I’m hoping it was only either for a few minutes or at least an hour. Once the cave was covered in steam, I stopped. I watch as they suck the steam. Their wounds heal, fascinated by how their body heals itself. Hearing someone come up behind me, glance out the side of my eye, and I see the child from before.“Do you need something little one?”, I ask, not turning to face them.They say nothing, knowing if I turn around, they’ll freak out again, so I keep my eyes on their parents. Once they were healed, I made my way out of the cave, but as I reached the edge, one parent called out, “Wait.”
“Well, of course, I love her.”, I state.“You’ve made me proud.”, she tells me.“I’m glad I made someone proud.”, I whisper.“You’ve made Jessica proud as well.”, she says.“Mhm.”Realizing my bloodline only wanted something in return, so when they didn’t get it, they got mad. Shaking my head, I get up and decide to go on a midnight scroll.“Mind watching over Jess and Maya?”, I asked.“Yes, ma’am.”, she says.Grabbing a jacket before heading out; feeling the cool night air nipp
