Nyx's POVI found myself in a different but familiar realm when I opened my eyes.I quickly scanned the area for any sign of the mysterious girl but she was not in sight as expected.Besides, the woods were overgrown and vast, I couldn't possibly find her myself unless she shows up on her own. I cleared my croaky voice, reminding myself of Narek's warning about time. "Hello?" My voice echoed."Umm, it's me and I'm only here to talk" I added and began to walk deeper into the wood. "If you would only show up, I won't take much of your time" I found myself walking towards the direction of the dark alley from my last time here, I was convinced she must be there.This time around, I pushed all my fears away and walked down the alley gingerly."Wow," I gasped in awe at the view my eyes met. It was totally different from the other side in my mind which was thick with overgrown bushes.Here looked different, like it was a special room for someone. Flowers of many beautiful colours stood in
Narek's POVI waited patiently for Nyx to return to our world while glancing at my wristwatch from time to time. I can't risk making her stay longer than she can.My mind replayed how close we were earlier that evening, the way her tiny waist fit into my hands, and the urge to pull her in for a kiss. I can't believe I'm still drawn to her. For goodness sake, Nyx is my student and I shouldn't get intimate with her in any way but I don't know why I'm just attracted to her. My throat suddenly became parched and I left my position to get a glass of water. I kept staring at her from where I stood behind the counter, gulping a large content of water down my throat."She's quite the smarty-pants, could have discovered my true identity beforehand" I chuckled, reminiscing on how she was bent on knowing the reasons for my change in eye colour.I even tried to clear that memory from her mind but she was able to resist it, interesting.Nyx suddenly winced and grabbed her chest. A painful groan
Nyx's POVI squinted my eyes open but closed it at once, "Why is it so bright?" I winced and tried to cover my eyes with my hands but it was so heavy to lift and I felt so tired."Did someone place a flashlight directly on my face, why is the light blinding?" I thought within myself and tried to open my eyes again, this time I was successful.My eyes met the wide open window, "I see where the blinding light is coming from. Who left the windows open in the first place? and the heck is the sun rays so harsh" I said in my mind and tried to turn to the other side, away from the window."Nyx?" I heard Narin call, "You are awake!" She screamed for joy and quickly helped me sit up."Well, I guess so" I returned, staring at her in confusion. She suddenly pulled me in a bone-crashing hug, muttering some thankful words to whomever she was praying to."Okay? What is the excitement all about? I just woke up from sleep Narin, What's the big deal?" I mumbled after she pulled out of the hug.Her sm
Nyx's POV"I need to go see Mr. Carne" I rapped and pulled my flip-flops from under the bed."That will be after you meet with Miss Pendleton, she insisted you see her first the moment you wake up.Also, have you looked in the mirror since you woke up?" Narin asked with a scrunched nose."Why? Is there anything on my face?" I returned, rubbing my face to get whatever it was away."You look a mess, roommate, the bathroom is free. Go fix yourself up before you step foot out of here" she snapped and walked to her bed to lie down.I stood up entirely from my bed and walked to the bathroom as she stated.Narin was not joking, after all, I could not even recognize myself as I stared at the mirror in front of me. My eyes looked so dull and my face was still pallid, not to talk of my lips which were chapped and had lost their healthy colour, I looked totally different, in a bad way, though.My hands traced my face to feel how sunken my cheeks were, I looked starved and malnourished.Well, wh
Nyx's POV"Surprise, surprise. Long time no see Nyx Uren" Liz smiled and I narrowed my eyes at her."Have you been stalking me?" I asked with arched brows, staring at her in suspicion."Maybe" she shrugged. "You've been scarce lately, I was starting to wonder what was off with you" she replied with a smug smile on her face.I folded my hands over my chest and gave her a lopsided stare,"You shouldn't worry about me Liz, we are not friends," I told her off and tried to walk away but she appeared in front of me with her vamp speed."Well I am not trying to be friends with you, Uren princess" She smirked and walked closer to whisper in my ear."You know one thing Nyx, We can never be friends" she muttered and inhaled my scent from the crook of my neck. I watched in horror as her fangs came out on display and her eyes turned bright red like she was going to drain my blood in seconds.But she only licked her lips with a dangerous smile dancing on her lips, "I don't need to listen for you
Nyx's POVNarek finally pulled out of the hug and helped me sit on one the stools in the temple."What happened to you right here, five days ago was very mysterious, Trust me when I say haven't heard or seen such" Narek muttered while settling in front of me."Do you want anything?" He offered in concern but I only shook my head. "I only want answers to all the questions in my head" I replied and he nodded.My eyes wandered away from his face to stare around the room."What in the heavens happened here Narek!" I exclaimed in horror staring at a corner of the temple that looked like someone broke out of it after a fight.There were claw marks on the floor and the wall, the mirror was in pieces on the floor and the chairs were turned upside down, some broken and some in parts."Your sweetheart" Narek answered my questions and I gapped at him."Otis?""Oh, you know him so well, even his name is stuck to the tip of your tongue" Narek replied with a tint of jealousy in his tune."No Nare
Nyx's POV"What have you done Nyx?" Narek almost yelled at me, I just stared at him dumbly, my forehead furrowed at his outburst."Nyx, do you know the weight of your actions? Are you aware of how much this act of yours will affect your life?""No.." my lips were shaking now and I was visibly scared, what could I have done so wrong?"Goodness" Narek slammed his notepad on the table beside me causing me to startle with fright."I'm so.. sorry" I stuttered staring at his back as he paced about the room, deep in thoughts.He came towards me with his hands on his waist with a serious gaze on me, "You rejected your inner being" he uttered and I shook my head."Yes you did. You did reject Beau or whatever her name is","That pain you felt in your chest, that is the pain of rejection, the pain that she left you because you did not want her" "But how is that possible? she is still inside me right?" "Yes but it is going to be hard to get her to help you in future. She is going to become dist
Otis's POVI winced in pain while dabbing my swollen head with a bag of ice packs. I keep underestimating that stupid warlock of a teacher. How is it possible that I could not raise a single mark on his body while mine is covered with sores and bruises? There must be something more to him that he is not letting everyone see and I will get to the root of this.He might not even be a warlock like everyone presumed but whatever it is that he is, I will make sure I come out victorious and show him his place in this Academy."Argg, fuck this, it's so painful" I groaned in pain as I placed the icepack on my blue eyes.The door to the room opened and Greg walked in alongside Dylan who was complaining in disdain about what I have no idea might be the problem."Who is that tiny wench by the way? How could she spill something as distasteful as this on my priceless shirt" Dylan growled."Seeing that she walks around with pig's blood, I'm suspecting she is a vamp. I could smell her sunscreen as
