Where am I? I heard heavy flapping of wings, and thunderous flapping coming from behind me. I turned around, quickly enough to see a large four-winged golden dragon flying towards me and blowing out a breath of fire. But, I was too slow to dodge the flame it blew on me. I screamed as the fire headed to me, blocking my face with my hands, hoping it would protect me. It completely consumed me. The pain was unbearable. I screamed and cried in pain, calling for Elle but no one came. After what seemed like hours, the flame whirled around me, forming a thin fire vine. The vines snaked around my hands and slashed down to my back. I raised my wet face to the dragon who had been watching me. He spread his wings, showing me his large wingspans and flapped them. The wind pushed me, sending me flying out of the realm in a whirling fire portal. I gasped as I woke up, tight in Ace's arms. Elle was crying as she sprayed water on my face. "Rinette, please be okay. Ace, what have you done to my sist
I sat at the school's pool, reading my history textbook. I didn't understand it but I was trying. Not a single soul was at the pool to my delight. I love reading in quiet places. It was just me, my book, and the shimmering dancing water. I was reading about the foundation of Twilight Castle; it was originally the first vampire royal castle before the great vampire queen, Queen Rida Red, who willed it to be a school for every paranormal after her death. The present king, Dermot's father, built a much bigger and better castle to live in, while this one became a school. I should have followed the book, believed what was written but something was missing in the history. Something didn't quite click with me but I couldn't place my finger on it. I dropped the book and sighed, wondering what was missing. Again, the incessant ringing in my ears increased, making my head pound. I massaged my temples, trying to soothe the headache, but nothing was happening. In frustration, I pushed the book in
He came to a stop in my room, the abrupt stop snapping me out of it. "Here we are!" He exclaimed cheerfully. He dropped me carefully and grinned at me. My hands remained wrapped around his neck, I was still staring but this time, he was looking back at me the exact way I was. His eyes averted to my lips then back at my eyes and back to my lips again. I averted my eyes to his neck and furrowed a brow. The veins of his neck had popped out in lava colour, almost like his neck was intubated. "Ignore it," I still kept looking. "Can you walk?" "Uhm," I let go of him and staggered back. He reached out to me. "I'm fine," "I'll make you soup," "You can cook?" "I live alone in a van, duh!" He said with a girlish sway of his hips. His hips' movement made me look down and I noticed a swell in his tight skinnies. I bent forward a bit and pointed at it. "What's that?" "Huh?" I looked up at him from underneath my eyelashes and raised a brow. Ace's eyes widened when he looked down at me. I heard
I bit my lip meticulously. Ace and I were playing a game, PS5 that is. It was a ninja game, and his avatar was kissing my foot. Fortunately, years of being alone turned me into a game master, but Ace was good. "Shit!" He exclaimed as his avatar fell dead. Winner! Ready for round 3 in one minute! "After this, you owe me a day of emptying your credit card!" "I'm going easy on you, princess, don't be too glad," "I'm great with games, admit to your defeat, kid!" I shrieked. "I am not arguing, I'm simply stating the obvious," "What obvious?" I snorted with arms akimbo. "That I am better than you, duh," "I won the first two rounds. How are you better than me?" "None of those matters. What matters is the final round—" "Your credit card is mine! Muahahaha!" I laughed evilly. He threw two jelly beans into my mouth, I almost died as I choked on the beans. "Are you insane!" I yelled with red eyes and a croaked voice. "Final round in ten, nine, eight…" "May the best player win," he sm
"What do you do for a living?" "I deliver goods for people and I am also a DJ, both on the human side and here, especially here," "So, what's your cool name? Food devil?" I asked derisively. "That was the first name I thought about but Elle hit my head with a frying pan thrice and called me an idiot." "Aren't you?" He placed his hand on his chest with a dramatic wince. "Ouch, I am a genius, a hot genius," I rolled my eyes with a smile. He stretched his hand forward to play with the neckline of my top, a habit he developed over the weeks. It was nice, but not nice when he always ends up pulling down the neckline unconsciously and revealing my cleavage. If he looked at it, I wouldn't have minded. But he never glanced at my cleavage or my breasts. I swat his hand away. "Stage name," "DJ Blaze," a gasp left my mouth as I grabbed his shoulders in shock. Back in school, all the girls were always talking about the young DJ who they could barely get their hands on, the mysterious fire-b
I stood there staring at him as he looked at me with disbelief, obviously by how beautiful I looked. I felt like fainting with the way he was looking at me. I glanced at Ann who remained calm in her seat, a smirk on her face. I glanced at Ace who was staring at Roy's hand on my arm with a narrowed gaze, like he would break it soon. With all the courage from him and Ann, I whipped my hand away from Roy's hold and glared at him. "Marinette, is this really you?" "Yes, any problem?" I asked calmly. "No way, this bitch here can't be Marinette. The one I know is as ugly as my old maid's shoes," Maribeth said incredulously. "There you have it, the one you know or in this case, knew. I am no longer like her and I would appreciate it if you behaved yourself and avoided causing unnecessary scenes. My boyfriend is watching me and he is a very jealous person. Roy, for your sake, don't let him know you are the rapist he has been searching for, you will die this very minute." I smirked at him an
"She is not home, Ace," "I borrowed her house key the last time I came," "Ace…" I drawled. "It's called borrow when I return it," he paused and smacked his lips. "Right after I duplicated it," "You could easily sneak in—" "My aunt has a spell around her house to prevent any paranormal creatures from sneaking in. Except you have her enchanted house key, you will die the moment you try to sneak in," I rolled my eyes. "Don't worry, she doesn't have dogs or cats." "That makes me feel so much better," I said sarcastically. He chuckled and stopped the car in front of a beautiful bungalow, peach and pink in colour. Lanterns surrounded the top walls of the fence, hung down from the trees inside the compound and beautified the roof. It was beautiful, like a glow worm garden. The compound was so clean and beautiful. I could live here forever. "Come on, Jasmine," he said teasingly. "Jasmine, seriously?" He shrugged. "Why?" "It's the only Disney princess I know that suits your appearance,
Fire-blazed soulmate! Fire-blazed soulmate! Fire-blazed soulmate! Those were the words that reverberated in my head as I rummaged through the school's library. The following morning after that night, I didn't find him in bed with me but the words never left my head. It had to mean something useful, something that would explain why I was so attracted to him. We returned home acting like nothing ever happened. He didn't know I knew he snuck into my room but that didn't matter anyway. From that morning on, Ace started acting differently, very different. He was clingy. He touched me whenever he got the chance, like touching me in places where friends should never touch each other. He would corner me every moment we were alone and kiss me until my lips were beyond swollen and my breath came out in short wheeze. It wasn't like I hated it, it was the exact opposite but still. How am I okay with this? How am I okay with a guy cornering and doing things to me when I wasn't with the others?
Fate is the most mysterious force in existence, many say you can change it because it's destiny, but I don't think you can change it except you are wyrd to change your fate but yet again, there's the word, fate is included. I don't even know what I'm saying but I guess I'm right in what I'm saying. It was my destiny to stop so many deaths, the lame ass who got suffered was the one to save so many lives. I'm sure if those who suffered me to find out that I saved their lives, they would be gobsmacked. What have our lives been since then? Good question. Marielle graduated with the others while doing her queenly practice. Immediately after she graduated, she was fully crowned a queen and I must say she has been doing a splendid job. She built a beautiful tomb of pure gold and precious stones, there she buried the ashes of Ivy and Sibyl and buried their memories. The days of their death became an annual celebration for all vampires far and wide, a lovely celebration just for the vampire pr
Her heart thumps against her chest, and she looks around for Leaf and Ann. They were gone as well. Then she saw them, Leaf in the middle of the eastern side of the ballroom, kneeling in a circle as she muttered something with eyes closed. She traced the line of the circle with her eyes, tracing it to Ann who was doing the same thing at the western part of the room. Her eyes followed it to the southern side, where her sister knelt, doing the same thing. Quickly following the lines, it ended on her, she was in the north, in a black circle. What they were doing suddenly crossed her mind, she looked at the floor Ace and Ivy stood, they were in a circle. It all made sense, Ace was acting. He first lured her into the circle which connected all the other circles together and then said all those words to make it seem real. The kiss meant nothing, he was distracting her. She looked at her shadow monsters, they could see what was happening but didn't utter a word, Darcy was involved. ‹Close yo
The elders yelled over each other's voices while the rest of the non-vampires watched them. Marinette closed her eyes and let her dark nature enfold her. From her body exploded dark energy and shadows, snuffing out the lights and blocking the light of the moon from getting in. Everywhere went silent with a thick fear, so solid a knife wouldn't be able to penetrate through. Never had they seen such in their entire lives. The shadows and shadow demons flew around them, cackling and giggling, some shouting the cries of the dead. Marinette stood tall in the air in her true form, a legless damsel with death in her hair, and poison in the tip of her tongue. Her pale bluish-white skin glowed in the midst of her darkness whirling around her feet as she levitated seven feet from the ground. "Upon you all I bring the victim to speak for herself," her voice echoed in the room, the icy deadly sound bouncing off the walls and dancing back to them, sending cold air down their spines and tingling on
"Announcing the arrival of King Winot Englewood, Queen Victoria and Prince Dermot of Twilight Myth." My heart skipped when I heard that. "The royal family is here. We better go greet them, Ilaria," Elle's dad said, switching his tone to a cold and brisk one. He looked nothing like the man I was talking to a few seconds ago. "What's your name?" "Just call me big daddy," "Oh brother," Elle said unenthusiastically and dashed off. Dad laughed and followed her. Dad, I like the sound of that. The large pool at the western corner of the room suddenly burst up, whirling up in a sparkling shimmer. The water whirled spirally to the floor and dropped six people, one of them was Liliane. I guessed it was her father, mother and siblings. She took her mother's physique but her father's face. He held a big silver trident in his hand, standing like he owned the land he walked on. Ann's eyes roamed the crowd. "Hey, Liliane!" I shouted, waving as I stood on the tip of my toes… Shoes rather. She l
Marielle's father's home was a grey and leaf-green castle with a haunted pallid red sky and large dragons circling the castle below it. Ravens and gargoyles were the tenants of the exterior part of the castle. Soldiers of steel and metal guarded every single corner of the castle, guard dogs roaming around with their owners. It was such a beautiful castle it made me wonder if he was the king. Ace waved and spoke loudly to anyone and everyone, his hand on my waist all through. I was more quiet, finding comfort in looking at the blood-red floor. Of course, many people were looking at me. I was the strange girl with the fire-head prince. The party was going fine. Ace pulled me along to greet and meet everyone he knew. He even introduced me to my mother's family who I already knew because you know, they are my family. I introduced them to him when I took him along to the witch village to take my inheritance. Ace thought it was funny to reintroduce us. His wackiness is his charm. Sweet news
I started panicking, I wasn't ready to meet his mother, not just yet! She came with ten bodyguards, all with heads made out of fire. I prayed inwardly that she wouldn't see me. "Please, I'm begging you Ace, come back home." She pleaded shakily, she was going to cry. "Mum, we've talked about this for years now, no is no, don't you get it?" Ace spoke softly, delicately. It was obvious he didn't want to say anything that would hurt her feelings. He loves her very much. "Ace, I beg you, don't let me die of loneliness. I have a son but I live like I have none, what sort of life is that? You haven't been home for seven years now. No matter what is being celebrated, no matter how much I beg, you haven't stepped foot in your kingdom for seven years. Why Ace? Why are you doing this to me?" She cried, falling on her knees. Ace whimpered and knelt too. "Mum, please don't cry, it'll break me." "I will cry now, I will keep crying tomorrow, and I will cry forever if you don't come back home and
"Fuck fuck fuck!" He exclaimed. He pulled out of me and turned me around again, I was breathing heavily; panting. What was he going to do? He pushed me into a leapfrog position; a modified doggy style. I was standing by my hands and knees, him keeping my hips raised with my head and arms on the bed. My face stayed on the pillow, inhaling his scent. Ace plunges into me again, much harder than before. "Yow!" I cried. He didn't reply, his claws dug into my hips, probably bleeding but I was too far gone to care. The position created a deeper penetration for him as he rammed into me violently, not holding back his desire. He pounded into me harder while I screamed out with both pain and pleasure. I was going to be sore at dawn. Wanting to make him pump more, I reached my left hand between us and squeezed his balls. "Damn it!" He slammed harder into me, huffing as he rammed in with full energy. His sweat leaked on me, mixing up with mine and flowing down to the bed which was shaking violen
Ace moaned as he drank from me, sliding his hand all over my waist and dragging his fingers on it sometimes. I moaned softly too, loving the sensation I was very much used to. This one was a little different, better and hotter than the other times he had snuck into my room for a hot make-out or corner me in school. Ace's fangs left my neck, grinding against my shoulder as his hand slipped past my long nightgown to the valley of my breasts. I trembled slightly, out of pure bliss. Ace slowly pushed down the spaghetti hands off my nightgown, showering hot kisses on my shoulders. He sucked and bit my shoulders gently, soothing the bites with his tongue immediately he bit it. "Ace," I moaned. He stopped kissing me and raised his head from my neck. I looked over my shoulder, asking him with my look why he stopped. "I'm sorry if we keep doing this, I will… I don't want to just kiss and make out with you, I want to make love to you if that's possible. I don't want to force you, Marinette…"
"You're kidding?" Ace asked with wide eyes. He snatched Gomez's wrist and gasped when he saw the time. "Fuck, no…" Ace ran out screaming "All You Can Eat Wednesday!" Gomez followed, screaming "Food!." "I need fresh air," Leaf sneezed, jumping down from the piano. "I need water," Ann added. "See you later, Rinette." Ann walked out, jumping over objects. Leaf waved at me before running off. "We'll conclude after school, I need to get something. Would you be okay on your own, sis?" I nodded with an assuring smile. "FWIW, you're the best sister a ghoul can ever ask for," I looked down sheepishly. "I'm proud of you, Marinette, for the lady you have grown into." "Technically, I'm still a teenager," "Heh heh, see you, Rinette," she zapped out with her speed. I exhaled weakly and jumped down from the piano. Sibyl who had been sitting there quietly sighed too. "What happened down there, I saw it all," "How?" "I saw it through your eyes, everything. Ivy is going to do something. If she
