It is the 26th Anniversary of my hometown since the day the village was officially opened.
Of course, everyone was busy and excited, but not me.
Doing my usual routine, I sat on my chair, scribbling things I want to do on my paper as I hum cheerfully like some main character does.
A small smile escaped my lips since there are no classes today. The people are also too busy so no one is bothering me today.
It is such a peaceful and calming day, me having my coffee, working on some problems, trying to learn new things and being with no one but only me-
*THUD*
*BOOM *
*CRASH*
I halted, completely dropping my pen on the table. I was left frozen still, doubting my very good memory all over as I heard that terrifying sound. I completely forgot about him. Of course, someone will annoy me.
"My wife" His voice echoed through my home as I heard his footsteps wandering around. It is none other than Killian Lake, my loud and nosy roo
"Harper Williams" My tracks stopped, my chest suddenly racing too fast as beads of cold sweat ran down my forehead. This is bad. There were also other students walking in the hallway, but it felt like I was alone, trapped in a cage. Whenever Jay calls me in the full name, it only means one thing... The sound of his footsteps stopped right behind me, making me gulp nervously. "Harper, let's talk." "Talk about what?" I turned over and face him, flashing the fakest smile I ever did my entire life. On the inside, I'm actually turning into a jelly right now, my legs felt too weak because of anxiety! This guy is dangerous! We've known each other for quite a while so I know it's only a matter of time before he discovers my secret. I'm really dead at his rate especially if Killian will get to know this. I can't let that happen! He crooned, crossing his arms he stared at me suspiciously. Why
"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
"No Harper. We can't go back." Killian glared at me. "You know what will happen if we do. Our lives will be ruined again. You'll be in danger. I can't afford to do that." He stated with anger. "I know, Killian, I know," I nodded my head. "But we need to help him. I need to help him. We can't change the fact that I'm a Chamber. I have a duty to protect the mortals and the people at Tempest. I need to help him. I must." "Harper, why can't you understand?!" His voice started raising. "We shouldn't go back to that place! You almost died not once nor twice! Several times, Harper! Several times! Do you know how much it hurts me knowing I can't protect you all the time?!" His voice roared within the dark hallway. "Harper, it's fine," Jay mumbled, catching my attention. A fai
I hang my head outside the car as my hair swayed roughly with the wind. "Now this is what you call a vacation!" A wide smile appeared on my lips as I stared at the morning sun, going up slowly. There's the wide ocean also, staring at us as it stretched far and wide. "Harper we're not on a vacation. We're being chased by vampires who want me dead." Jay just got to ruin my mood. "Whatever. Out in school and fighting some pale-looking guys? That's still counted as a vacation, don't you think?" I asked Killian who was driving with a smile. "Of course. They're small fries. We can handle them just fine." He raised his hand and high five with me.
I immediately teleported where my soul is and let her go back inside my physical form. My heart thumped wildly as I saw five vampires around. They were all panting heavily, the other one had a crack on his neck but it was slowly healing. "Killian!" My voice automatically came out as soon as my eyes landed on him. My heart sank as I saw how many wounds he have. He tossed a glance at me and spit out some blood. "I'm fine, Harper! Protect them." he was meters away from me. Killian's hair was all disheveled, his clothes filled with dirt. But what disturbed me most was his hand on his stomach. it was full of blood. He's having a hard time dealing with the vampires. After all, they were his mortal enemies said to have strength almost in
I sensed a great danger behind me, making me turn but before I knew it, Nikolai was already standing in front of me, blocking me from their Chief's attack.He continued dueling with him as I was left behind.Tsk, it ticks me off how I was left looking like a damsel in distress.How disgusting."Your Highness!" One of the General Commander in my army called. He stabbed one of the werewolves on the opponents' side, making it howl loudly in pain. The blood splattered right through his face but he ignored it. "He might need some help!" His eyes flashed with worriedness as he stared at Nikolai from afar."I have encountered Chief Olcan and I almost met my end! If things will drag on the A
I wonder How Jay is doing? Do they even feed him? "He's still alive, right?" I mumbled, staring blankly at the sky. "No, Harper. Get yourself together." I slapped both of my cheeks, trying to get rid of the negative thoughts swirling inside my mind. "Jay is a stubborn and persistent guy. You know what he's like. He won't ever give up no matter how many times you tell him to." I nodded continuously, trying to ease my anxiety on my own. Killian, Laurent, and I were currently staying in a nearby inn, trying to think of possible ways to bring Jay back safely. He is not going to be safe here. iiii A loud explosion rang sharply in my ears, making me sprung my eyes shot as I quickly gasped for air. The ground shook, making some of my belongings fall down, making a clanging sound as it hit the ground.
A loud explosion rang sharply in my ears, making me sprung my eyes shot as I quickly gasped for air. The ground shook, making some of my belongings fall down, making a clanging sound as it hit the ground. I can hear screams and cries outside, making my heart pound heavily. I gulped nervously, quickly dashing outside as each step made me feel more fear. My whole body was trembling and yet I forced myself to move, my legs felt numb but I kept running to where the explosion happened. A lot of the students went running away from where the incident happened, bumping on my shoulder as I tried to get there as fast as I can. But I felt shivers run down my spine as I saw what happened from afar. My tracks stopped, panting heavily as beads of cold sweat ran down my forehead.
"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."
