August's POVI've been restless for days. No Draco showed up to us and only Marcus is the one who is conducting the training. Marcus looks disturbed as well because of Draco. I know this is worrying too but what can we do? We don't even know where Draco is now. No one can tell where he is.I just looked at the weapons lying there. They are all samurai. They are identical to swords but they are lighter than swords in Pandora."Today, you will be demonstrating sword handling. A professional will be your spar partner. You will be using a real samurai, just avoid getting hurt." Marcus told us and Misha suddenly became depressed.She is not good with swords! Misha is somehow afraid of swords before. I can see how Misha turned pale."Hey, you can tell him about your fear of swords." I looked at Misha as if his tongue was numb but he couldn't even react. She lost it. It looked scared as it looked at the swords. "Hey Marcus, Misha couldn't handle a sword. She has selective Aichmophobia, parti
August's POVI stepped back and I almost screamed when both of them suddenly popped out in front of me. Even if I don't ask, it is already confirmed. They are Pandorians. My tears continued to fall. I was overwhelmed and even though I expected this, I still couldn't help but be surprised.Now that I have confirmed it, many more questions are popping up in my mind. How the heck are they able to come here? What sort of trick did they pull off? Are they the only ones here or are there others?"L-love..." Cayden suddenly said to me and it made my lips turn into a thin line. I surely miss him, but why did he pretend not to know me? And why is he in the CIA? If they have been here on Earth for so long, why did they just appear now? When I was about to lose hope to see them?"H-how?" I'm sorry. I didn't think that with so many questions I wanted to ask, that was the only thing that came out of my mouth."We look for all the possibilities to go to your world when I found out you are alive," C
August's POVI just held my breath because of the headache. It's been a few days and I've been missing Cayden and Lucas. Reed adds more. How about it, Cayden is always watching when Reed and I are together and Reed is punishing Cayden. The only thing I don't want to happen is for the two to get into a fight because Reed must have collapsed in the hospital. Of course, that's my friend.I don't know why Cayden had to act like that. He is acting like a jealous boyfriend, it's not us and he loves someone else and it's not me. Yes, I look like me but I'm not. Like a shark, until now I still haven't moved on. I also know that my friends are already noticing what's going on, so Misha, like crazy, is always smiling and teasing me. It's also nice to get rid of that one. If it tempts you, you think that there is nothing strange happening in his love life."Hey, you." Scarlet suddenly came close to me. She is wearing a body-fit jumpsuit you would think she is going on a mission today. "I am allo
August's POV"Are you crazy? Why did you punch Draco? Look at yourself now!" I promised Reed that I was angry. The doctor took care of him temporarily because he only broke a few bones in his hand due to the severe impact he had on Cayden, but the result was that he broke his hand. Cayden's body is like stone and until now they didn't even realize that.Reed just kept quiet and didn't speak. There is sadness in his eyes and it's like he's deep in thought. I heard what he said earlier, but I didn't give it any meaning. Maybe that is one of his antics again to shoo away some suitors. But whether I admit it or not, I can feel that it was different. It seems like what he said was real."What happened inside August? We couldn't get in earlier, then suddenly there was an earthquake, so we all went out." Misha asked me, frowning now and wondering about Reed's situation.I sighed. "It's a long story, Misha. Scarlet and Reed and I almost reached out and ended up with broken bones because he ki
August's POVI got up from the bed. I was surprised because Cayden suddenly appeared in the room. But why am I still surprised? He can do that."What are you doing here?" I asked him. I can't stop myself from being nervous. My hands are cold. His mere presence makes my heart beat erratically.Cayden smiled which is very rare when he is in a crowd. No matter how funny the surroundings are, it still has a poker face. Did I mention that his smile is priceless? I wanted no one else to see that smile, aside from me."Is it too bad, if I want to see you?" It was a gentle question that caused my hair to stand on end. Why is that? I feel like he's attracting me!God, stop it August. That's natural for Cayden because it has a really strong pull. "In my room? You could have just waited outside." I answer here.I don't want him to give signals that I am affected by him. I should play fair. The game should be fair!"I am just avoiding trouble, love. Either Reed or Scarlet, they will surely raise
August's POVI couldn't move immediately and was suddenly nervous, especially with the blade of Reed's gaze on Cayden. What I'm afraid of is that maybe the two will be able to reach each other again and Reed will be able to stay. One of its hands is not even fixed. I wonder why he doesn't feel fear toward Cayden, he's already hurt. Because if that's me, I'll never do it again."Aayy! I remembered! Reed! Come with me, I'm going to get something, I need your help!" Misha suddenly shouted and immediately came to Reed and pulled him away despite the bad mixture.I felt pity while looking at them. Misha just dragged out Reed and the tension was broken. I just shook my head. Misha is unpredictable. Sometimes beneficial, but mostly insane."I guess we will now take a rest and pack things," Jasper said walking first and Ryujin followed.I didn't speak. I just nodded to Cayden and Luke and followed Jasper. I'm going to organize some more things because I might leave something behind. I'm just
August's POVI didn't sleep even a wink. I can feel the heaviness of my head and the bags under my eyes. I tried to talk to Cayden last night but he seems to be avoiding me because I can't talk to him. I wanted to ask why he's going back to the US suddenly. I thought he loved me. I thought I was the reason why he was here. But why is he leaving? Is he fooling me? Is he making me hope again?I took a quick shower even though I felt heavy due to lack of sleep. I went out with my suitcase. I saw that everyone was there except Cayden. He is nowhere in sight. So I just held my breath. Even Lucas was busy so I didn't approach him.I lost my appetite. So I just drink coffee. My chest is heavy and I feel heavy too. I don't know what the fuck is going on. Why is Cayden suddenly avoiding me? What's happening? I have no idea what that is, fuck!"You won't eat?" Misha asked me. I shook my head. "You look terrible, are you sure you're okay?"I sighed. "I'm fine." Even the real one is not. I feel l
August's POVI was just amazed at how beautiful I was. We are here today at Forbes Park, here in Makati because I saw that we entered there and now, this mansion is one of them. This is not the type that is as tall as three towers with floors. This one, there is an area with two floors but usually only one but the mansion is wide. This will pass as a resort."Where are we?" I asked Cayden and his arm was still wrapped around me. Because I tried to run away several times before, so I was already closed by this fool. "Are we in an in-door resort?" I'm asking because I think so. It's so beautiful and she's right about the unwinding."No. This is my place." Cayden answered me.My eyes widened when I heard it. "Are you serious? This cost a fortune!" I even blurted it out because it was true."Hmm... yeah... this is quite expensive." He replied to me as if there was nothing here even though he said it was expensive. The truth is, how expensive is it? I won't believe it if this place only co
Cayden's POVI immediately ran fast when I saw King Laurent heading towards August to stab him. I knew I could reach it so I immediately hugged August and tried to teleport but I just heard a growl from behind me. I stopped and could not move immediately."Pity, you saved your ............love, while he saved his love. My death is not for nothing after all. I may be dead, but still....... ...... I............won." I heard King Laurent promise in a weak voice. I heard that someone fell and someone followed."August!" Gen. screamed in disgust. I saw that Gen tried to run but Lucas stopped him.My body suddenly felt cold. Something suddenly entered my mind and I was filled with fear when I did not see him in Gen's group."Oh my god..." August also gasped, now looking behind me.I couldn't stop myself and immediately turned to see what was happening. Horror filled my body when I saw August..... my August..... the sword was stuck in his stomach to his back. I felt like the world suddenly s
August's POVI was terrified as I looked at the towering entrance of the Academy. A deafening sound was coming from here because of the loud banging of the orcs. I don't know what they use to do that. Wood or their body itself? I do not know."The barrier won't last if they keep bumping," Kaye said the worry on his face was obvious."I know. No matter how strong the foundation is, it can still be torn apart by desperate orcs." I said that there was a lot of tension. That's right, what's the difference between beautiful and desperate flirting? hahaBut before the others could react, the barrier suddenly rattled and creaked loudly as it fell and created a deafening noise and thick dust.I closed my eyes because I almost fell asleep. Angel Grace immediately intervened and created a shield so that we would not continue to be hit by the sleeping dust because the orcs might attack while we were closing our eyes. Maybe we will lose right away from the start of the match.I slowly opened my e
August's POVI try to avoid them all. I stayed in my room or I went out and hung out in every part of the Academy. Library in the corner of the laboratory or the maze garden. I also take out food. I don't want to eat in the pantry because I will only see them there too. I am also eating in the room.I am now in my room. I plan to go to the library. There is no class. I just thank you. I need to check some books in the restricted section. I have access to that because I'm an Elite. Weird, I still have the position even though the real August is back. But what is his right? I was the one who earned this position and he was not. I defeated Venna with my skill so he has no right to do this to me, I will hit his face.I left the room and unfortunately they were all downstairs as if they were waiting for someone. I walked held high but I wasn't looking at them. They sounded so happy and I was irritated because of that."August, we have a mission. Let's go." Franco's voice said.I do not car
August's POVI'm making my bed because now I can get out of the hospital. I still felt sullen that Gen didn't even visit. How busy are they? I didn't even hear any news from them. Or maybe because I am useless to them since I got injured. That thought makes me sad."August! The Elites are home!" Alice screamed rushing into the room.I smiled here. I did not feel any excitement at all because the sullenness was more dominant."Okay." I just answered here and fixed myself. Sometimes this Alice is also insensitive.Alice noticed that I was not in the mood so she didn't sculpt me. She's the only one who stayed by my side when I needed help. I don't remember anyone who went to visit me or even said hello if I was okay or if I was still alive. And now, she's saying they are back. I completely understand that they went on a mission but why do I still feel this way? I tried to shrug it off from my mind and started to think positively. Maybe this is just an effect of my near-death experience.
August's POV"Misha! Is this true? I'm back?" I can hardly believe the question. As far as I remember, I was still in Pandora and wounded."Yes, August... good and you're back. We've been looking for you for a long time." Misha started crying."I'm sorry, I didn't know that I was going to be taken to another planet," I said with a snort. But to be honest, I'm happy because I'm finally home. I don't belong there anyway."I wish you took me with you! Do you know how hard life is here without you? I can hardly leave the house. Gangsters are waiting outside the school because they are looking for you. Even your underlings, another group." It's a complaint again."Tss, yes. But did I know that I was going to go there? If only I had known, I wouldn't have told you to have a picnic there." I promise I'm pissed off here.I'm jealous that I can go home. I just didn't think I was back home. I thought, I will die there in Tierrabithea Tribe but it seems not because here I am, alive and well."Bu
August's POVMy surroundings almost beat our school grounds because of the cleanliness. I'm not even sure what's going to happen, as long as I'm hot-headed I want to step on it so I piled my annoyance on the dry leaves and kicked them.My anger has gathered. First, doing a mission without any concrete plans. Second, we are looking for something that we don't even have any idea what it is. There are no even clues, no evidence gathered. Then I'm the type of person who will rush if there is information gathered. Do you think I won't explode? How many times have I complained inside my brain? I tried not to complain because I know that they have their way but it was just too much. We still beat the newbies.I looked at the relatively small trees compared to the others. What happened to them? Why did they fall? I tried to remember if it had fallen before I arrived. But I really can't imagine! I'm not sure. But maybe it fell before I came because I didn't come near them."When can I go home?
August's POVI didn't know how I was able to sleep last night. Last night was a nightmare. We didn't do anything but just sit and wait for those ghosts to fade away and their screeching scream is nerve-wracking. I bet, I already have another set of bags under my eyes.I came out of the tent and I saw everyone how busy they were. But I was stopped by the wild grumbling in my stomach. That's right, I couldn't even eat last night even though I was hungry. Who would feel hungry if you are surrounded by ghosts? There was food but I couldn't force myself to eat. It's hard for me. My fear of ghosts is way more than my hunger.Suddenly my mouth watered when I smelled grilled fish. I immediately followed the smell as if my feet had a mind of their own and my instinct knew where the smell was coming from. And there I saw my group they are in a circle and grilling with a man-made bonfire."Hey, it's good that you're awake. This is almost done and we can eat." Gen. happily promised.I snorted. "I
August's POVThe ringing that we heard disappeared when we reached what looked like a stone ruin with vines. But we hardly moved at the same time when someone focused on our eyes. Immediately we saw the tribes with black faces. Is the clay mask a trend for them? But it can't be a clay mask because I know it's not. It's like slapping their face with a caldera's ass."Foreigners! What's your purpose and have you strayed into our territory?!" Boldly asked a big man who was just carrying a spear and if any wrong move we would make, he would throw the spear at us.I can't speak! I seem to be stoned to where I stand. We might be strong be we are outnumbered. I am hesitating if I have to move or not. But I was about to move and jump when someone stopped me. I immediately turned around and immediately saw Cayden looking at me and he shook his head a little, giving me a signal not to do whatever I am planning to do.I gritted my teeth. We are obviously in a very dangerous situation. Those like
August's POVWe just looked at the river. He is not ordinary in my eyes. It's not red, but there's a lot of fog on top of it and I don't know why it's like that. It's also wide, the river seems to be half a kilometer wide before the other side."Are you serious Lucas that there is no bridge here?" Angel Grace asked in disbelief."Roooooooooo!" Fyro is second."Watch this," Lucas said and he put his hand on the ground suddenly some vines collided and he started to cross the river that was forming a bridge but before he could stop, the bridge suddenly broke and turned to ashes! What the fuck?!"Shit, what? Is that a joke?" Jules asked in surprise."Red River nullifies all magic that comes across it," Franco answered here.I raised my eyebrows. "So how do we cross?" I asked. I still thought there was a bridge because there was a river, right? I didn't think it would be that many tricks."Simple, we'll just fly," Clint said immediately and it immediately jumped up and started flying."Wai
