LISA'S POV

Leo dropped me off, since the wedding wasn't going to take place until my parents knew. As the car door opened, I stepped out onto the driveway, feeling the warm sun on my skin.

The sound of the engine faded into the distance as Leo drove away, leaving me alone in front of my childhood home. I took a deep breath, the scent of freshly cut grass and blooming flowers filling my lungs.

I walked towards the front door, my heels clicking on the pavement. The door creaked as I pushed it open, and I stepped inside, calling out to my parents. "Mom? Dad? I'm home!"

The hallway was dimly lit, the only sound the ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner. I slipped off my shoes and padded across the cool floor, my toes curling over the edge of the rug.

As I entered the kitchen, I was greeted by the warm glow of the afternoon sun streaming through the window. My mom was sitting at the table, a cup of tea in front of her, her eyes fixed on the newspaper. She looked up as I entered,

    LISA'S POV I took a deep breath, breaking the long silence in the room. "I have something to tell you all," I said, my eyes scanning the room as I gathered my thoughts. My dad's eyes narrowed slightly, his brow furrowing in concern. My mom's face lit up with excitement, her hands clasped together in her lap. My sister's eyes sparkled with amusement, her lips curling up into a grin."I'm getting married again," I announced the words hanging in the air like a challenge.My dad's eyes widened, his face pale. "Lisa, are you sure that's a good idea?" he asked, his voice low and cautious.My mom's excitement bubbled over. "Oh, Lisa, that's wonderful! We're so happy for you, dear!" She beamed at me, her eyes shining with delight.My sister snorted, her grin growing wider. "This should be good. Who's the lucky guy this time?" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm.I smiled, a hint of mischief in my eyes. "You'll all meet him soon enough," I said, my voice teasing.My dad leaned forward,

    LISA'S POV I stood up from the bed, my movements swift and deliberate. My sister's eyes widened in surprise, but I didn't give her a chance to ask any more questions. I knew that if I lingered, she would pry and probe, trying to get more information out of me. And I wasn't ready to give it to her. Not yet.I turned and walked out of her room, the soft carpet muffling my footsteps as I made my way back down the hallway. My mind was racing with thoughts and emotions, but I pushed them all aside, focusing on the task at hand. I needed to get some rest.I entered my own room, closing the door softly behind me. The room was quiet and dark, the only sound the soft hum of my alarm clock on my nightstand. I moved swiftly, switching off the lamp and plunging the room into darkness.I walked over to my bed, feeling my way through the darkness. I slipped off my shoes and socks, letting out a soft sigh as my feet sank into the plush carpet. I climbed into bed, feeling the softness of the blanket

    LISA'S POV As my mom left the room, Liam turned to me with a mischievous grin. "So, ma'am What's the real story with Leo? What's going on?"I rolled my eyes, laughing. "I wish I knew. That's why I hired you, remember?"Liam chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Oh yeah, I remember. You want me to dig up all the dirt on him."I nodded, my expression serious. "I need to know what I'm dealing with. He's been acting so strange, and I don't trust him."Liam's expression turned thoughtful. "I've been doing some digging, and I think I've found something interesting."My ears perked up, my heart racing with excitement. "What is it?"But before Liam could answer, my mom burst back into the room, a look of exasperation on her face. "Lisa, come on! You need to get ready. Leo will be here soon."I groaned, laughing. "Mom, I'm coming."Liam stood up, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "I think I'll let you go get ready. But we'll talk more later, okay?"I nodded, smiling. "Definitely."A

    LISA'S POV The room was filled with an air of anticipation as everyone waited for Leo's arrival. My family and Liam were all seated in the living room, each busy with their own phones, their faces bathed in the soft glow of screens.But I couldn't sit still. I paced back and forth across the room, my hands clenched into fists as I tried to contain my nervous energy. I felt like a caged animal, ready to burst free at any moment.Liam watched me from his seat on the couch, his eyes filled with a mixture of concern and understanding. He knew I was anxious, and he was trying to be supportive.My mom glanced up from her phone, her eyes meeting mine for a brief moment before returning to her screen. She was trying to stay calm, but I could sense her own nervousness beneath the surface.My dad was oblivious to the tension, too engrossed in his phone to notice anything else.

"How dare you defend him after everything he's done to us."I stood my ground, my heart pounding in my chest. "I'm not defending him, Dad," I said. "I'm defending our relationship. I love him, and he loves me. That's all that matters."Louisa laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "You're so naive, Lisa," she sneered. "You really think he loves you? He's just using you to get back at us."I felt a pang of doubt, but I pushed it aside. I knew what I felt, and I knew what Leo felt. We loved each other, and that's all that mattered."Enough," my mother said, her voice firm. "This is getting out of hand."But my father was beyond reason. "You're going to regret this, Lisa," he shouted. "You're going to regret the day you ever met him."I felt tears pricking at the corners of my eyes, but I refused to cry.

    LISA'S POV I glanced over at him, taking in the strong lines of his profile. He was lost in thought, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. But as he sensed my gaze, he turned to me, his eyes softening into a gentle smile."Hey," he said quietly, his voice low and soothing. "You okay?"I nodded, feeling a lump form in my throat. "Yeah," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm okay."Leo's smile faltered for a moment before he reached out and took my hand, his fingers intertwining with mine in a gesture of comfort and support."We'll get through this," he said quietly. "Together.”I wondered why he was been so nice. I couldn't help but be surprised by the calm tone in Leo's voice as he spoke to me. I knew he was only pretending to care, but a part of me wondered if maybe, just maybe, he was being genuine. I had seen him use his charm and good looks to get what he wanted before, but there was something in his eyes that made me question my doubts.As he told me that he wanted to marr

Now."I raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of defiance. "Why? What's going on?"Liam glanced around the room, his eyes darting towards Leo, who was watching us with an unreadable expression. "This isn't the right time or place for this conversation," he muttered. "But trust me, you need to get out of here before things escalate."I hesitated, unsure of what to do. But Liam's words struck a chord deep within me. I knew he was right. This wasn't the time or place for a confrontation."Okay," I said finally, nodding. "I'll go."Liam's face relaxed, his shoulders sagging in relief. "Good," he said. "And Lisa?"I turned to him, my heart pounding in my chest. "Yeah?""Tell Leo to back off, okay? His behavior towards your family isn't helping. If he wants to win your father over, he needs to show some respect."

    Althea's POVAs I stood with the others far away from the Demonic Wolf, I couldn't help but think about how Lisa had saved me. To be honest, I didn't even expect her to save me on account of us quarrelling earlier. When I decided to hold back the Demonic Wolf and give everyone a chance to escape, I hadn't even expected anyone of them to come back for me. But somehow Lisa has acquired her ability, using it to come back for me. I would have died if not for her coming at the right moment to save me from the Demonic Wolf.My eyes lingered in the direction everyone was looking, hoping that Lisa would at least walk out of this. She had saved me from the Demonic Wolf, doing something very stupid later. And that thing was going off by herself to fight off the Demonic Wolf when she had not yet learnt how to control her ability. No one in the team could even take down the Demonic Wolf no matter what but she had gone off, hoping to finish off the Demonic Wolf. I didn't know if this was stupidity

    Lisa's POVI've never been this confident in my entire life. It was like my courage had been multiplied several times after getting my shadow ability. It boosted my confidence and eliminated any fear and doubt that would have existed in my mind. My courage was unwavering just like a sturdy tree which could not be brought down despite the storm. Honestly, if someone had told me that I would become this confident I wouldn't have believed that person. I would have even insulted and quarrelled with that person for talking nonsense.Running through the shadow world was form. There was nothing like solids or liquids here. In fact there wasn't the existence of any object which could obstruct my path. I was so much free to move any way I liked, going through objects that would have been impossible to pass through by ordinary people. This gave me a new feeling which I couldn't describe. It was more like I was enjoying what I was doing right now."Let's see how mighty and great you are, Demonic

    Lisa's POVMy entire body became covered with this white light that blinded even me. I couldn't even see any of my teammates who were doing battle or the undead creatures which were rapidly coming out of the ground to fight us. With this situation I felt that I'd been isolated from the entire world.Soon the light cleared and I could see again. I could see the others resume their fight against the undead creatures while keeping an eye on me. They all wore shocked expressions as if they didn't expect me to finally awaken my ability at the last moment. The most shocked of them all was Stephanie who had quarreled with me an hour ago."All my life I've been mocked by others and trampled upon," I silently muttered to myself as I clenched my other fist which wasn't wielding a sword, my eyes firmly on Althea who was still struggling to prevent the Demonic Wolf from crashing to the ground. "I have to change that today and show that I'm not entirely useless as everyone thinks."I took on a fig

    Lisa's POV.When the Demonic Wolf appeared, I was really terrified. This was because I'd never seen anything like this. It easily towered over us like a small mountain and had a terrifying aura capable of crushing everyone. If not for the others around I would have already run away in order to escape from this powerful creature. But then, would that have made any difference? Hence, I decided to stay and fight no matter what. Although I was the ordinary one here I decided to give it my all and defeat this powerful Demonic Wolf which was after our lives.I wielded my sword, slashing the undead humanoid creatures it has summoned to attack us. It seemed as if it thought itself to be too powerful to do anything to us. Hence it sent its lackeys. This thought filled me with the determination to kill this Demonic Wolf or whatever it called itself."Find away to attack the Demonic Wolf!" I heard Faelan's voice. "If we don't kill it we will have to fight these undead creatures. And when that ha

    Jake's POVI was about to kiss Lisa when I heard a very loud roar. Well, she heard it too and that interrupted our kiss. I was so upset that I wanted to immediately run towards the source of that roar and kill it with my bare hands. How dare it interrupt my first kiss with the woman I loved?I didn't have the chance to say anything to Lisa when the others. The main reason I'd actually come to meet her was to confess my feelings to her. But now everything I'd planned to say had been ruined. There was no way I'd be able to confess to Lisa now. It would be in the far future.I was still standing with my sword drawn when I felt this tremendous energy surge from the direction I'd been staring it. It was very powerful and almost overwhelmed me if not for the light within me. Even with the light, if I'd not awakened and connected with the guardian within me I would have been overwhelmed by this terrifying energy. I would have immediately died without knowing how and why.I turned to look at

    Lisa's POVI continued running, not for once looking back at my friends. I was so angry right now and I needed to vent my feelings or else it would turn out bad for me. I wasn't very good when it came to bottling up feelings. Every time I became angry or hurt I'd do one or two things to release the negative feelings. And that was what I was going to do right now that my friends had made me angry.I finally stopped running, bending over as I panted heavily. I was already drenched in sweat which made my dress to stick to my body like glue. It wasn't a pleasant feeling but there was nothing I'd be able to do about it. My condition wasn't good right now and I needed to do something in order to feel better.After some minutes I finally recovered, my breathing becoming normal. I looked up at the moon which was shining brightly in the sky. Although there were tall trees in the forest they couldn't even obscure its radiance. It just stood in the sky, shining as if that was all that matters. I

    Lisa's POVFinding the light within us? This seems like a fantasy we've been told to keep us in bondage. To be honest I was beginning to feel a little doubtful about everything. It wasn't as if I didn't believe the words of the Elders of Light but everything they said was hard to accomplish. I mean, we've been trying to find our light and connect with our guardians for a long period of time now.Well, at first we felt something. We really felt a connection and our body radiated with ethereal light which seemed to come from the dawn of existence. I really felt myself brimming with this primordial energy. But then, that was all to it. I didn't feel any change, I didn't feel any strength and I didn't feel any difference. I was just the same old me, Lisa Kay. I was just the ordinary young girl or woman or female...whatever they call it. I was just someone filled with emptiness.If it was up to me I would have really given up on all this. I would have stopped a long time ago, not following

    Seraphina’s POVThe forest seemed to come alive as we ventured onward, each step igniting the vibrant magic woven into its very fabric. The air was thick with the scent of blooming blossoms and damp earth, as if the forest itself breathed in tandem with us. I could sense the spirits of the guardians guiding us, their presence like a warm embrace, assuring us that we were on the right path.“Where do you think we should go first?” Althea asked, turning her attention to the winding trails branching out before us. Each path appeared to beckon with its own mysteries.“Perhaps we should seek out the elders in Eldoria,” I suggested, recalling the Keeper’s wisdom about gathering knowledge. “They possess insights and histories that could empower our journey.”Faelan raised an eyebrow, his expression animated. “The Elders of Light! They are the ancient wisdom bearers of our realm. If anyone can guide us in nurturing our newfound abilities, it’s them.”The prospect of meeting the Elders sparked

    Seraphina’s POVAs the sun climbed higher, illuminating the glade with its warm embrace, I felt a shift within me a surge of determination to honor the promise we had made. Each whisper of the wind felt like a gentle nudge, guiding us toward our fate. Althea and Faelan, standing resolute beside me, reflected the same resolve. Our journey together had transformed the weights we carried into wings.“Let’s move forward,” I said, my voice steady. “We’ve tapped into the essence of our light, but we must now discover how to apply it.”Althea nodded, her eyes glistening with excitement. “There’s so much to uncover, and I can't shake the feeling that the forest still holds secrets meant for us alone.”With renewed purpose, we ventured deeper into the heart of the forest. The air crackled with energy as we followed an unseen path one that felt alive and woven with magic. Each step we took resonated with the bond we had forged amidst adversity; it was as if the forest itself acknowledged our co
