That man whom I brought to Kieran.
The traitor who betrayed Kairi and his men.
He laughed maniacally, his voice echoed within the vast field. It was loud. Maddening.
"It was so good to see him desperately clinging onto his life. I already put a curse on him but I did not expect him to be so stubborn. How come that curse had not taken effect? I am certain it would make him suffer, burning his insides until death."
He was clearly provoking me, agrin plastered in his face.
His face changed but I know it was him.
He was once a middle aged man, wrinkles on his forehead, a beard hanging down his chin.
But now he is as young as me.And I know his powers might be at its peak at the current state of his body.
How did he manage to stay alive?
How did he trick Kairi?
What is the extent of his power?
I saw him once, in the Academy. I have never known something sickening like him
They both lunged at me simultaneously, their footsteps making a faint sound as they hit the ground. "Soul, go back first." She stared at me, bewildered. "What?! Do you want to die?!" "I'll call you when needed." I forced her inside me as I was left all alone. Now, where should I start? They were both running in my direction when I first lunged at that murderer, the guy who introduced himself as Gael back in the academy. I quickly grabbed him in the face, my grip was tight, wanting to crush him completely. I put all of my power in my feet, then went on a dash as I held on to him. Gael's body slammed completely on another border, it made a cracking sound as soon as his back hit the object. Behind me! I swiftly turned when I felt a dangerous presence behind. Damon raised his fist, shifting his arm into a monstrous state, he was about to punch me when I turned and lifted my right leg, meeting his a
I stopped. But then after I went back to my senses. "Focus!" I answered and hit him with attacks. He was not fighting back. Killian was only dodging every hit that I gave as he stared at me with those eyes. Why does he have to look at me like that? After what they have done to me, how could he?! I swung my left arm with full speed, immediately striking a hit on his stomach. But my eyes widened in confusion and rage, again, he did not try to dodge. "You are not taking this seriously aren't you?!"I bellowed, clenching my fists as guilt started to pester in my chest. Why does he have to make me feel like I am the bad guy? Why does he have to do this?! "Tsk!" I turned away and started sparring with the others. I don't think I could look in his eyes any longer. There was sadness, and it was hurting me deep inside. I put my arms in front, defending myself f
"Hi, Paisley!" The door chimed in as I pushed it, a girl in pigtails with a boring look gazed at me. "Do you have some expired desserts there?" I asked, looking over shelves as I pick whatever my eyes landed on. "Yeah, eat them until your stomach hurts." She mumbles as I went over the counter. I can't help but pout with her reaction. "Just say you want to feed your prettiest friend, no need to hide your affection towards me." I placed the food on the counter and then winked. I can't help but laugh as she stared at me with a disgusting look. "In your dreams," She mumbled and gave me the change. I went on the seat and start munching on the chips. "but are you all right? You're not looking great." I chuckled. "Do you mean I usually look great?" "Really, how are you?" My tracks stopped as I heard her question. How am I? That's what I want to know too. Why...
I cannot move an inch. My eyes widen as my complexion turned pale. He was powerful. Too powerful. I felt shivers all over as I saw his raging dark eyes. It was full of rage, anger, hatred. He felt like a seal that's been closed on purpose and now that seal was no longer gone. There was nothing to suppress him anymore. There was nothing left to stop the wrath that's been pestering inside him for too long. Now, I was unsure if I did the right thing or not. I was unsure if this would really do better or just make things worse. One thing I'm certain of, this is all my fault. "G-grave..." I pushed him to use his powers and now I am meeting the consequences. I never knew he could be this dangerous! "Harper, duck!" I immediately threw my body in the ground as panic took over me. Grave's power was going rampant and letting loose, hitting the place behind me. I turned over a
I couldn't help but inhale the fresh air as sky crapers towered above us. How I miss the human world. It makes me feel like I'm back at home. "Stop dawdling, our time's only limited." I pouted hearing my partner's voice. He really is best at killing the mood. "Hey, Killian wait for me!" I quickly catch up to my companion who's walking really fast like a busy businessman. Well, he's a CEO. Maybe it's a habit. I quickly catch up, panting heavily as I walked behind. The city is as lively as ever. Cars honking everywhere and the never-ending traffic, couples and students busy with their coffees and laptops in cafes, that loud noise that never fails to comfort me. It always makes me feel that I'm really not alone. /// I stood frozen still as I looked at him with surprise. Mother of cow! My CEO just turned to be my classmate and on top of that is my frea
"Do we really have to do this?" "I told you we need to observe them first." Killian is really taking this serious. With a fancy shades in his face, he seriously followed our target inside the amusement park. "I mean do we really have to pretend as a couple?" He stared at me with a firm gaze. "Yes." "Why? I don't get it!" But Killian just grabbed my hand and dragged me everywhere. Our target first lined up in the rollercoaster ride. Killian quickly lined up as well, dragging me with him. "Are you serious?! We really need to ride?" "Yeah. Who knows he might do something funny in there." /// "Do you know each other?" "Yes/No" My eyebrow creased a little as our answers were different. Kiiian gaze at me with a puzzled expression but he remained calm. I was lucky enough his expressions are not that easy to tell. But somehow, I felt like I can read him
"Let's play some games!" I have to put his hand away quickly when I heard that loud girl again shouting. But what is he doing to me?! What is wrong with me?! I felt my chest racing too fast right now. My cheeks felt burning as well as I felt something fluttering in my stomach. What in the world is this?! Is this some kind of abnormality?! "Harper, Sir Lake, are you in?" girl excitedly beamed at us, sitting backwards on her chair again. "Yeah, we're born to be ready." Killian playfully answered. They didn't bother asking Archer since he's now asleep. Ms. Kase gave him a medicine a while ago. It's a good thing too that it's only us inside the bus. The other girl is too loud passengers could've complained about all the noise. I heard her name is Olive. Ms. Kase and Olive sat backwards once again, facing the two of us. Ms. Kase put out the lollipop on her mouth. "Let's play truth or dare!" "Rock, paper, and
After that embarrassing moment, Killian and I silently ate and he insisted to pay. On the bus ride back to Fersken, he also didn't bother to ask me any questions and I was really thankful for that. I accidentally slept on his shoulder but he didn't say anything as well. And now, I am too ashamed to face him. I feel like I am in huge debt. After that day I never dared to step out of the house and just stayed inside thinking of what I should say when I met him. I think too much and came out with nothing and now, we're about to be in disguised as normal hifghschool students. I heaved a sigh as I look in the mirror with a frown on my face. I was already wearing our uniform, black suit, red plaid necktie and skirt. I really hope I won't see him. I was about to go out of my house when my phone vibrated. I quickly roll my eyes when I saw it was the group chat I have with my past classmates. I lazily clicked the group chat to see what was going on.
"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."
