"A-aux..." Tears started streaming down my eyes. My chest felt like burning, ripping into pieces as blood kept trickling down my forehead. My eyes felt like burning as the red liquid came down, blurring my vision.
It was getting harder and harder to breathe.
My head was pinned on the window, the only thing that can be heard was the screeching of the railings along with my sob.
"I told you to stay away but you are too stubborn," Her cold voice whispered, sending shivers down my spine as her immense power was making my knees weak.
She is too powerful.
She is too much for me to handle.
And it kept hitting in the back of my mind,<
Suspicious glares surrounded me. It felt like I was stepping inside the wrong territoy, their gaze as sharp as knives. "Welcome to Auxen, the werewolves' society." Caleb mumbled as we walked inside. A huge wooden board hanging in front with the word 'Auxen' Wooden bungalows were all over the small village. Kids were playing around happily, but their parents quickly get a hold of them, shutting their doors and windows. Others stayed in silent, their light brown eyes shifting into gold ones as they glared at my direction. They say when you finnally met people like you, yuo'll feel at home. At ease. But why do I feel the exact opposite? This is giving me an ominous feeling. "Why? D
"No matter who my enemy is,I will rip them off."This is what's been going on in Nikolai's mind, his eyes glowing intense gold as he walked inside the dimly lit abandoned temple. Clenching his fists, he scanned the surroundings warily as darkness slowly surrounded him.He was tasked to hunt the Prince of Flame,Hakan Kai.That guy, Nikolai met him once as a child.It wasn't the best memory he could remember. In fact,it was one of the worst nightmares he ever had encountered in his life.Being an innocent kid wh
"We need to stay until night. Let's wait until that thing appears again.""Yeah, we need to stay vigilant as well. Who knows it might be someone close to us."The bell rang and students started to fill in the classroom.That night, we tried to search for the vampire. Well, we still aren't sure if it was truly a vampire. It's hard to believe. They are not supposed to go here in the human world. Moreover, their race has died a long time ago. So how?Killian and I went to school with uneasiness. We are not certain if one of the students here is that creature, blending in. He might be someone closer to us, or worse, knows who we really are.If that's the case, capturing that vampire will be hard.Killian switched seats with my seatmate and here he is sitting beside me. I noticed his eyes roaming around the classroom as Mr. Walker was in front discussing the lesson.I know he's wary.I started scribbling on a paper and placed it on
"So tell me," I pushed him gently to face him. "What are you?""How am I supposed to know that?" He frowned. "I just woke up and found out some pale-looking people were hunting me down. It's just that I'm so good to hiding I managed to survive.""Harper!"My head turn and it was Killian, catching his breath as he dashed towards our direction."Hey, get your hands off her." He pulled me away from Jay and gave him deathly glares. "This one's a vampire, too? I'll kill him.""Hey, Killian stop." I immediately grabbed his arm to stop him. It's too obvious he's been waiting for this day all along."So, where's the other guy?" I shifted the topic and turn at Killian. Some of his hair strands were already lying on his forehead I can't help but fix it. I'm just not used when he's not in his CEO hair."He killed himself." His deep voice mumbled, his eyes roaming in mine from head to toe. "Did you get hurt?""No, but the woman killed herself as well. But I'm sure they a
You know it's really hard to be pretty. "Um, we;re here to deliver a parcel from Paisley." I pointed at Jay who stared at me with a confused look. I elbowed him to tell just go with the flow. He was on my left while KILIAN is on the right. His eyes were shut tight. He looks really exhausted after battling with the vampires. Anyway, sorry to Paisley, but Laurent looks really mad. I'll use her name for a while. Moreover, this is payback for yelling at me a while ago. Laurent stared at Jay, bwilederd. FOr amonet his jaw was left hanging. "TRhat girl." He scoffed. Laurent sat on a chair and leaned, his legs crossed. "Whatever your reason is fro bringing that boy in here, you'll be having a hard time. He's totally banned if we fo
"DIE!" My voice roared throughout the blazing snow, the whirring sound of the silent yet sharp sound of the wind echoed along with my word.The hatred inside me grew deeper as the veins on both of my temples started to emerge, I can feel my power going rampant, trying to explode as I lunged towards the enemy.He was the murderer behind my grandfather's sudden death. He was the reason why I was left tormented at a young age.He is the reason why I broke.///(Flashback)"Grandfather!" I ran towards him, my eyes beaming with excitement as I saw how he extended both of his arms, waiting for me to hug him after such long years of waiting.I was six back then.I was a toddler who know nothing about the cruelty of the world. Back then, I was happy with just my grandfather's company.I didn't ask for anything nor try to find who my parents are.I was contented."Look how much you've grown, sweetie!" He chuckled and carried me in his ar
"What is that thing you need to claim?" I ask for the nth time.But Harvey just shrugged at me, walking with his hands in his pockets. He was carrying our bags on both of his shoulders.I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him. "Seriously? Now, you're hiding something from me? Let's ruin this friendship over." I declared and started walking faster, leaving him behind."Wow, Zea," I rolled my eyes when he's already beside me, putting his arm around my shoulder. He gave me a mocking look that I always do not like seeing. "You've been here for only quite a few days and you're already missing me this bad? I'm touched!" He held on to his chest using his other hand.This drama king.
Lauren;t presence made the vampires retreat. I ws gald he came or we could have been in big trouble. Thanks ti his ability to tleport he brought us to his home in the Order, center of the Tempest.I still do not know why Guiardians and Chabers can do some prtals and telport easily but I cant. It feels so uinfair."Care to explian? What in thw world is happening right now?" Laurent glared, the three of us sitting on his couch. He was especially glaring at me, his right hand on his waist.Well, I told him I'LL stay in the human world for good and now I;m in front of him inside the Tempest. It's understandable he's angry. Plus, I rejected him several times.You know it's really hard to be pretty.
"No, not like that!" I heaved a sigh for the nth time, staring with a deathly glare towards Kieve. For the 13th time, failed. "Harper my hand is hurting. Can we do this next time?" He was looking at me like he was in great pain I almost believe him. Wow, look at the puppy eyes he is making. I would never have thought I would see him acting like this. "No, you can't fool me. You have to master this today." "Why should I? We can just get some delivery foods. It is faster and less hassl-" He shut his mouth tight when I slowly turned my head at him with an intent glare. Plus, I was holding a knife in my hand. "Yes, ma'am. I would definitely master this today."
Her mother’s voice roared so loud inside the house it made her flinch in terror. She was not the type to yell for she value basic ettiquetes for women so much. It was the first time in fifteen years Harper heard her mother raising her voice that high. She was enraged, literally.“I have been putting up with your bottles and jars with insects for a long time but did I threw them away?! Did I interrupt with your sessions at the forest to dig some insects even when I want to?! I did not do those things Harper and gave you freedom but this is what you repay to me?! Did I raise you to hurt others?! Do you plan on killing them?! What, do you now aspire to be a murderer?! Harper, I had enough troubles and you just had to add fuel to the fire!” Her mother burst in anger.Harper is used to her mother’s words and usual complaints. But not this one. Not this time. She saw how pain glimmered through her mother’s weary and tired eyes.
-Maia and Nikolai in Another Time Frame-"How long has it been again since they started dating?" Hunter asked and now I could finally confirmed he is jealous."Wait let me see," I mumbled and put out the small notebook where I tally the number. "They have been together for 15 days and 2 hours.""Why are you keeping tabs like that?" He asked but I only shrugged.The truth is, since Zea gave me that weird letter and started acting strange, I started taking down notes of her strange actions. Well who knows if she is suffering from some disease. “I transferred to another block.” She answered, and when no one dared to ask her another question she continued walking down the hallway.It took some minutes before her three blockmates processed what she said.“Wait, does that mean she transferred to another block? Like literal transferred and left us?”“Is she joking?”They weren’t so sure at first, but when all their classes had finished and she wasn’t there, they realized Maia wasn’t kidding
-Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-"Go back at the team right now." Nikolai wasn't simply suggesting. It was a command. He glared sharply at Maia who doesn't seem to be fazed by his angry demeanor."Why would I go back? There's a lot more opportunity with Blanca's team. The spectrum is wide with them. Obviously, they are the better choice.""You can't fool me, Evans."Nikolai knows Maia was only doing this to help the team. She's going to sacrifice herself in order to delay Blanca's project and screw it up. But the damage it could give her might ruin her days at the university. It's too risky to try."You heard me," Nikolai repeated, his words were hard and domineering. "Go back at the team. Right now."But Maia is not the type to submit. She's not someone who can easily ordered by others. Even if it's Nikolai Auxen. It's funny how this stuborness is the only similarity he and Maia had in common.She inched closer, tiptoed and whispered to his ear. "You can't order me around.
-Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-As soon as I had finished my exams I hastily packed my things, passed the paper in front amd stormed off the room without looking back."Ms. Williams! Why in such a hurry?" I heard the professor inside but I was not in the right track of mind to even respond. I need to go get my hands on that newspaper to find out everything, or even the littlest thing about father.My mother is not a talkative and open person. She would rather keep all secrets on her own than share it with us. She never talked about father. And I am anxious to trigger any negative emotions so I never asked her about our father. But in truth, every single day I want answers. As to why he died, what he looks like, and what are his ideals in life. I want to know him.
-Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-At the farthest side of the library, two girls have their eyes set on books, the only noise that could be heard was the crunching sound everytime they flipped pages. It was Harper whose eyes were burning with rage and passion while Paisley sat across her, reading lazily and flipping the pages in a nonchalant manner, not even reading a word or two. It was obvious the latter was only forced to review with her roommate. "No way I will let Wolfgang beat me in the exam. I am not someone she could surpassed in academic standing. I am smart and independent and..." Harper halted, couldn't think of any words anymore. "And...""Just zip your mouth and review. Complimenting yourself with useless words won't let you pass the exams." Paisley glared at her.Harper immediately obeyed and shifted her gaze back at the open book. "Yes, ma'am."
-Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-"Miss Evans," He inched his face closer, his gaze trying to find even the slightest hint of weakness in her eyes. "I didn't know you cared for me that much."But Maia would not give him what he wants. She's not the type to back down, although her chest was already pounding crazy from the tension and with all those people around.A grin formed on his lips, inching closer and closer, until he whispers on her ear."Let's see if you can handle me."***The following day was a disaster."Did you all see Nikolai from Block A? Goodness, he really did obeyed her!""I told you already, he's with that girl! It was so obvious when he went to confront her!"Rumors started ciculating in the university. The relationship between the top scorer and the representative of the whole course became a hot topic.And of course, only one person was so troubled with it.Maia had her hands roughly pulling her hair, hanging her head low as she sat on a bench. She just
-Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-"I'm sorry, but you are rejected. We do not accept highly dangerous individuals like you.""We?" Harper turned her head but there's only her and Killian in the dusty room. "Are there others who joined this club?""Yes and no. Yes, it's 'we', referring to myself and Neville," He looked up and Harper followed his line of vision, only to see a jet black cat sleeping soundly at the top of an old cabinet. "And no, there are no other members. I prefer to work in solitude.""You can't continue alone or the club will crumble and what did you say? I'm highly dangerous?" Harper chuckled and could not believe his words. She put her arms and leaned on the table, glaring at the man in front of him. "Yes, I am a bit insane but not dangerous. Madness is the right term but it's not the bad type of madness, what I have is genius madness!" She declared, her head held high as she extends her arms sideward like some glorious hero.But the guy only stared at her
-Killian and Harper in Another Time Frame-Where have he gone? What does the words meant and why is there blood? Whose blood was it? Was it from the guy he was following? Or someone else's?These thoughts were circling on Harper's mind when she heard the door creaking open, cutting her thoughts off."You're back." Harper greeted Paisley who did not bother looking st her as usual.But this morning is quite different. Instead of ignoring Harper like what she alwayd does, Paisley was the first one to speak."That friend of yours with eyeglasses," Paisley sat on her chair, her back the only thing visible to Harper. She could not see what is Paisley's facial expression but perhaps, it is the usual poker face she has. However, it still make Harper happy that she tried to get along with he finally.But Harper's smile faded away with her next words."He dropped out."
