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?
"Is there anything else you need to know?" "What am I?" "Pardon?" I exhaled. "I need to know who I am and what powers I possess. I see trances, hear voices, what does that mean?" "It clearly means… Well, it has two meanings. One, your powers are trying to reach out to you by manifesting in different ways. Two, someone or something, is trying to contact you. The next time you hear or see anything, when such a thing happens, take a deep breath with your eyes closed, relax and say 'Show yourself, I'm ready to listen'. Then open your eyes. If you see nothing, then it's your power, but if you do, then listen to what the spirit or spirits have to say." "They say I'm a witch. What sort of witch am I?" "There is no better answer to that question than your reflection. Go to the hall of ancient artefacts and portraits, fifth floor. Find the diamond-shaped mirror with blue sparkles and let your reflection show and tell you who you are." She said with an encouraging grin stuck to her face. I
I walked out of the school building holding Leaf's hand as she told me about her love life. The day went fabulous. I had swimming practice. Ann gave me a test and I nailed it with Leaf cheering me on. Leaf, Ann and I formed a friendship bond. It's amazing. I still haven't told anyone about who I am, for a week now and I wasn't planning to tell anyone until I find a way to master my abilities. Anyway, back to my amazing day. After swimming class, we followed Leaf to find and heal a pregnant Jackalope, well, Ann did the healing and Leaf did the tracking. I tagged along for the excitement and to learn how to hike through a forest. Then, we came back and helped the lunch lady organise and wash the dishes. It was fun playing and singing as we worked. The one thing we all had in common is, we love animals and helping people. "…so I thought maybe if I said hi one time, he'd like me or just be my friend but it didn't go so well. He only insulted and disgraced me. I don't have any friends an
I raised my hand, black haze snaked around my hand and bolted to Seagale with the speed of lightning. The haze entered the water, increasing the current of the whirling and turning the clean water black. Seagale let out a frightening scream. Whatever I was doing to her was extremely agonising. I inhaled the air, taking in their fears and listening to her screams and the frightful murmurs of students around. I moaned as the pleasure of their fear shook my body. It felt so good. "Marinette, stop this, now!" I heard someone yell. I looked at the person, she looked familiar. She didn't matter, what mattered was me killing my victim and taking her soul. "Marinette, please," she pleaded. "It's me, Marielle, your sister," "Oh? Is that why you look so familiar?" I asked with a cackle. I could hear ten more voices speaking simultaneously with mine. "Marinette, stop," Leaf pleaded. "Whatever the friend is doing, stop it before she hurts someone," A cat girl added pleadingly. "Marinette," I
"Marinette," I heard people whispering into my ears in singsongs; echoing singsongs. "Wake up, Marinette," I opened my eyes sharply, an unfamiliar face above mine. I scanned his body down. I was quite terrified by the fact that he was light blue with no legs, no neck, just a head and a shirtless torso. I opened my mouth like a fish out of water. "Don't scream," he whispered. "Just sit up quietly," I closed my eyes and reopened them but he was still there. "I'm not disappearing, I'm a ghost, like a dead bodiless ghost." Is there any other name for it?! "We all are!!!" I flinched, jolting up at the echo of shouts. Ghosts were everywhere, some with normal skin colour and a few with blue or green skin. "Please, don't scream!" They echoed. "After staying here for long, I don't think getting scared is an option," I sighed, rubbing my throbbing forehead. The teenage boy who was floating above me descended. "What happened to you?" "I died, duh." "She meant how you died, stupid," A girl s
I sauntered down the stairs with a flutter fan in my left hand. I could hear chattering coming from the living room. I could make out Elle's voice trying to silence Gomez's deep baritone which was standing out amongst the noise. It seems like he was having a serious argument with Twyla. I could make out two more voices, strange voices and Dermot's. He wasn't supposed to be around. Didn't Elle break up with him? How long was yesterday? Everyone quieted down the moment I walked in, all blinking their eyes with shock like it was a surprise I was alive. I roamed my eyes around and spotted the two strangers; a centaur and a guy with a fish head. The awkwardness keeps getting more interesting. "Rinette," Ace squealed, running out of the kitchen. "Rinette!" He was already hugging me before I could blink. He cupped my face before I could speak again. "Are you okay now? Feeling any single pain? Aches? Dizziness?" "Ace, she passed out, she didn't have a building fall on top of her, geez!" Tha
