Tears' Curse Chapter 38
Living room. Kitchen. Backyard. Traces of him were everywhere—so many that it was hard to accept his death as a fact."Hayden..." Miracle fell to her knees on the broken floor. "I thought we could end this together. I thought I could protect everyone." A wave of defeat washed over her as she stared at the silver fronds, no longer shimmering with pride. "And my ‘everyone’ included you…" It felt like she was there when it happened. The scene of Arlyaen appearing in the house flashed before her eyes, reporting itself to her from the beginning until the end. They unfolded like a movie, concluding with the part where Hayden struggled to write the blood note. Miracle pursed her lips, holding back her tears as she watched how cruel the evil was in ending the life of the man who treated her like his own. Slowly, through her blurry vision, she saw the late man. He was there, in his usual three-quarter faded pants and plain blue tee, sitting on the couch. He took a sip of jasmine green tea a

"Weird." Lyn walked back and forth, stressing her words as she stopped in front of Miracle. "SO WEIRD!" She was far from convinced by the earlier announcement. A night class as part of the final assignment? What could they be asked to do—test their bravery? Some sort of secret agent training?"Mr. Vincent never holds any night classes. He knows what will happen if he has one." Kingsley flicked his wrist, and his spell swept across the walls, erasing the marks of what had happened in their house. "You mean this is the first time?" Miracle asked, her brows furrowing in confusion."It's the first time for the cycle to be happening in such a way," Lyn remarked. "Wait..." Miracle slapped the table as if somebody lit up a bulb in her head. "Could it be that Mr. Vincent is in danger? And the whole of night class is the evils' plan?" "It doesn't make sense." Lyn shook her head, frowning. "Then what about Ms. Nancy? I mean... she can't be evil, can she? We've been with her for almost a year
Tears' Curse Chapter 40
The night was eerily darker than usual, casting an ominous gloom over the school grounds.Street lights were out, again. Moon rays piercing through the heavy mass of black clouds weren't helping much in easing the creeps. The faint rays fell upon the enormous metal clock mounted on the main building, its hour and minute hands frozen in place, creating an unsettling stillness.Suspicious flocks of bats flew in erratic patterns, their high-pitched squeaks echoing through the air. Miracle stood by the hall entrance, her heart pounding as she tried to calm her rising adrenaline. The headcount continued to swell. It was strange for Stellaerio to hold a night class, but despite the oddity, more and more students continued to arrive."I don't see Ms. Nancy," Lyn murmured, glancing at all possible corners she could find. "Or Mr. Vincent.""Which means I need to check everywhere before it's too late," Miracle uttered in urge and started to retreat from the crowd. "Lyn, Kingsley. Take care of ev
Tears' Curse Chapter 41
"RUN!" Kingsley screamed, his eyes widening in shock as the eerie bats morphed into savage, monstrous creatures, their twisted forms plummeting from the sky.The students were clearly bewildered, unable to comprehend the chaos unfolding within their school. The sight of lifeless bodies strewn across the ground and the presence of green-slimed monsters shattered their sense of reality. Some hesitated, questioning if this was a nightmare, while others were too panicked to think about anything else but escaping alive.Vyre led the Mynheex and chased after the weak. They lunged at their prey, tearing out hearts with ravenous greed, devouring them as if they could never be sated.When Miracle arrived at the scene and saw how horrifying and gruesome it was, she immediately jumped over and commanded, "Air, protect them just like how you protect me." A warm night wind carrying a soothing smell of wild grass brushed past, flaring up a line of shimmering blue barrier around the mortals in an in

"MELVIN!" Lyn roared and pounced on him. Expressionless, he cast his hand in her direction, sending Lyn hurtling through the air. She landed with a painful thud, her face contorted in agony as she scrambled to her feet. The blast continued to surge from behind and charge at her. She squeezed her eyes tight. It was too late to defend. But just as she thought she was going to be flung into the air again, the force halted. She turned around, her broken gaze filled with incredulity. Her lips trembled from trying to choke back her tears when tastes of betrayal, defeat, and loss blended together at the back of her tongue. Her steps swayed, tumbling her to the ground once more. Specks of dust rushed into her nose as she struggled to breathe."Don't do this to her," Lyn pleaded between gasps. "That's Miracle, Melvin. It's Miracle… Please, let her go…”For a split second, she was certain there was a moment of Melvin reflected in his ebony eyes before he looked away.“Nice job, my fallen angel
Tears' Curse Chapter 43
The sharp pain on her wet chest jerked her awake. Miracle darted her eyes around, only to be shocked by the clanks from her limbs tied to the trunk of an oak tree. The metal shackles on her drained her energy every time she tried to break them apart. Red impulses flowing along the tree weakened her cultivation. The dimly lit atmosphere laced with clamminess told her that this was somewhere she never wanted to be."Love has always been my best friend." The cold, hard voice came through before he walked into her view. "Because of love, I've never lost."His steps echoed, reverberating through the cave’s damp walls. She tensed as what happened last night came flooding the back of her mind—from discovering Nancy in the toilet to getting caught in their net and everything in between. When Arlyaen finally stood in front of her, icy shudders ran down her spine as her gaze fell on the increased number of claret chains on his head. Half of them were from yesterday.From her friends who were sti

"Wait a little longer," he said to the twins in his office. "Wait? We don't have any more time to waste, Mr. Vincent!" Lyn exclaimed. The room fell into pin-drop silence again. Frowning, Beck took off his specs and cleaned them with the cloth he took from the drawer. Blueness in his eyes was exposed. Though he looked calm, no one knew how unsettled he was at the moment. Miracle was in Arlyaen's hands. Whether she was alive or dead was still uncertain. He knew better than anyone else that they should be on their move and not sit back and do nothing like now. But he was waiting for someone. "I don't care. Even if it's going to cost me my life, I'm going to storm their f*cking territory and bring back Miracle!" Lyn clenched her fists and shoved Kingsley's hand away as he tried to pull her back.Right then, a knock on the door broke the tension growing in the air. "Maybe I can be of some help."Hearing that, Beck loosened his stiff shoulders, a faint smile tugged at the corners of his

Arlyaen jerked his hand slightly to the left, and the dagger swished past Melvin's bruised cheek, hitting the rock at the back. For a brief second, it seemed as if time had stopped.Until the screechy laugh sliced through the oppressive silence.He had won the deal.Red chains on Melvin's head clinked as he struggled to push his body up from the ground. He flashed the white dragon a terrified stare, his cracked lips quivering to speak."You shouldn't have thought that you had an option from the very beginning," Arlyaen said with strong hatred laced in his voice, "white dragon."Miracle avoided his eyes, guilt washing over her soul. She knew she was officially repeating the sin her mother had committed. For a fallen angel, she was going to betray her species, her mission, and the entire of Long Sheng Jie.The evil lord snapped his fingers. One of the hundreds of thumping capsules clicked open, dropping a raw heart into his hand—his fifth bloody meal, as far as she could remember."Let's

Layers of protection around the house were gone, and the silver fronds were nowhere to be found either. A strong tide of loss washed over her soul as Miracle walked in, her eyes reddening. His memory clung to every corner, stirring a deep pang of regret within her.The regret of failing to protect him."I wish you were here with us, Hayden. I wish you could see how we defeated the evils. I wish you could see how the world is right now. I wish..." She held back her tears. "I had protected you..."“I wish I had been there to save you, Mr. Watson, just like you did to me."Melvin moved in closer, his fingers gently intertwining with hers. She tightened her grip, her broken gaze, clouded with unshed tears, pouring out shades of guilt and sorrow she had for her half-mortal father."I miss him, Melvin."He patted her head and pulled her in

Her tears came falling down like rain. She did stop the war, but not the separation. The scene turned harder to bear when Maddie, too, was distorting in shape. He raised his hand and stepped back, stopping them from getting any closer.'Don't,' he mouthed.He had sought his revenge, and now he was ready to go.'It's time to meet my brother.' His voice echoed, distant and fragile, as the last solid piece of him dissolved away.Born as a fallen angel, one shall die as a fallen angel—this was the principle Arlyaen planted in them since the day they were born."Don't go?" Miracle whimpered, her voice barely more than a broken whisper as her tears slid through the fading form she could no longer hold onto."I'm sorry..." Melvin pulled her to him for one last deep, soulful kiss."I love you, Melvin," she uttered. “I’m sorry that I kept you waiting."He smiled faintly. “It’s worth the wait.”“I…”"Never did I know what warmth was until you melted my heart of stone, Miracle." His eyes misted o

At the back of her tongue, their blood surprisingly merged. Miracle drew in her brows. Something was awakening deep inside her, stirring a strange, fresh vitality.She sensed it. Her scars were healing, and her energy was recharging.As lightning rumbled across the tenuous clouds, it illuminated the pearl with a dazzling brilliance. Breaking away from their kiss, Miracle arched her body and gazed intently into the sky, as if the heavens themselves were reaching out to her.The glowing pearl floated from Melvin's palm, reaching for her chest, into the spot where it used to sit. Miracle jerked; her hands clenched into fists. Every part of her muscle contracted as her damaged blood vessels reconnected. They glimmered and wove back together, branching out in a frenetic dance and surging eagerly toward the pearl.Under the bright rays of the moon, her horns glinted. A wave of numbness washed over her soul. Her chest rose and fell with uneven breaths, each one more strained than the last. Fo

Any deeper was going to hurt her. He threw the poniard away. He couldn't do it. Not to her. "Don't do this to me..." he begged, pressing the pearl against her scaly chest. "Get in... Get in, please." But it wasn't obeying. "UGH! Damn it!" Melvin pulled her closer and buried his face in her neck, knowing it would only cause her more pain if he were to continue pushing it. "D-Damn it…" He raised his head and stared up above, hating the fact that the dragon girl in his arms was fading away. The night sky was in total darkness, resembling the loss of hope in marking an end to the recurring cycle. Right in the middle of the woods was the happening that mortals were never going to believe. Melvin sensed defeat. Nothing turned out as planned. The protectors of peace… were losing. Arlyaen walked to them, conjuring an electrified plasma ball in his hand. It was enlarging, giving off blinding sparks as the coruscating filaments extended from the center. "Owning the mortal wo

Now, a breath was all it needed to expose their whereabouts."Hyntece, you promised me you'd never be like Lryke. You said regaining status as an angel is what you've been dreaming of all this while,” Arlyaen said. There was a strong note of threat in his words."Show yourself, traitor!" Vyre lashed the underbrush around in a frenzy."Come back to me, my child." Arlyaen wrinkled his nose to sniff out the presence of his own member. "Only I can grant that dream of yours."Miracle craned her neck, trying to get a glimpse of the unfolding scene. Startled, Melvin quickly pressed her down, a finger to his lips, urging her to stay low.But that was it.The next second, a violent squall hastily swept in their direction, thrusting the grasses around them away. Miracle couldn’t help but slacken her jaw at the real appearance of the lord of fallen angels. His lids were topped with slimy scales. Streaks of thin vermilion branched to every corner of his reddened eyes, highlighting the deadly gla
