Christine's POV.“How long do we have to wait" I seethed inwardly as I spoke. I couldn't help the annoyance especially when I was in the same space with Jace. Marcus wasn't dumb to notice I hated him, but he still kept us together."You speak like I am the one holding them from coming out”I turned to look at him with arms folded."You seem experienced, so that shouldn't be a problem”"What do you want me to do, go over to people's houses and beg them to come outside, so our little queen can turn them,” he asked and I rolled my eyes are him."Why do we have to work for him anyway, we can ditch him and leave this state or even this country” hI suggested and he laughed."You can't run from someone like Marcus,” he said and I gulped. Was I going to serve him for the rest of my life?“We can't obey him till eternity" “No, we can't" Jace got closer and cupped my chin. His closeness made my stomach twist and I could feel the butterflies already. “What we can do however is kill him" his lip
Kira's POVThe last thing I thought I would ever do was talk to Xavier. After the phase we went through recently, I decided to keep my distance, but I had to ask him some questions and I had to drop whatever ego I was putting up.“Hey wait up!" I ran up to Xavier who walked away from me when he heard me say. " Tell me more about Frederick”I expected that reaction because no one seemed to like him. The word like was too mild. They pretty much hated him."Forget about it, Mirabel. You can ask other people. Leave me out of it”"Why? This is why I don't understand. Is he some kind of deity or something? Why do you guys have to be so secretive about him”Xavier turned to look at him. "Because some things are better left alone. Like Marcus. Now peace off” he gestured for me to leave, but that didn't make me stop following him. He ignored me at first, but when I still followed him even when we were out of the school premises, he had to say something.“What, you plan on following me to my ho
I knew Bella was going to take a long time, but I didn't expect her to waste so much time. I watched her approaching and I heaved a sigh of relief. My butt was already starting to hurt from sitting in a spot for a while. I didn't know exactly what to say because she had once told me today the fuck away from her body, but I couldn't. The first reason was, he was my mate and the second was, I needed his help if I wanted Christine back. I had a feeling all those things Christine said were a result of how she hypnotized she was“Hey" I facepalmed myself when I said that. 'That was too high' I said to myself.The look on her face made me more nervous.“You" she rolled her eyes and I felt insulted, but I didn't show my annoyance. I need her help after all. “What do you want"“I have been coming over and"“Ken is gone" she helped me complete.“Yeah"“And"“Do you know where he is?" “Out of l.A" she said and started walking.I knew she was lying. She didn't just want anywhere near her broth
Kira's POV“You seem to forget I am a witch and I can summon him if I try very hard” That was a lie, but it accomplished its aim. It made Ken turn to look at me. Now he was interested in talking with me.“You can't do that Kira," he said walking towards me while I kept a stern look on my face as I looked at him.“Why not" I shrugged“It will take a very powerful witch to do that"“Or his fellow vampire" I helped him complete and he sighed.“Xavier should learn how to close his mouth""Does that even matter?“ "Let the dead remain dead Kira, we can't wake him up”"But we need him” "Christine is not worth waking up someone as deadly as him”"So we are just going to let Marcus get away with this”“Look Mirabel, you need to stop acting as if you care about what Marcus does. You are only worried about Christine”“Of course" I backed myself up.“Then stop acting as if you care about the balance of nature"I shrugged. “You don't care either"“I stopped caring about things like that a long
Kira's POVI kept hearing a slight thump on my window as I slept. I tossed continuously on my bed without the idea that someone was by the window. Maybe I was too tired to pay attention to something as crucial as that.After the persistent thumbing, I opened my eye as a groan escaped from my lips. I turned to look out my window and my heart dropped.What was he doing here? I asked myself.“Ken?" I called out, rubbing my eye with the back of my palm to get the sleep off. Maybe I was still dreaming, I concluded inwardly.He knocked again and I realized I wasn't dreaming. It was Ken. What was he doing here? I asked myself. I remembered he didn't even want to look at me twice when I was at his house, but now he was here.His eyes looked different. It didn't hold the usual annoyance and irritation, it usually held each time they fell on me.I slipped off my bed and walked to my window to open it. He entered through the opened window while I stood by the side with my hands akimbo.“What are
Kira's POV“Guess who's going to fucking stupid Harvard?" if I and Christine were still talking, that was what I was going to tell her, but no, we weren't and I didn't have any friends. So the only person I could tell was myself. I sucked at being alone. Maybe that was why I was so concerned about bringing Christine back.The bag behind my back was much heavier than usual. Maybe there were too many books inside. I couldn't tell because I didn't know what was in it. I carried the bag that morning without checking what was inside. I was too angry at my mother for even thinking of putting me in Havard.As soon as I got to class, I angrily tossed the bag to one of the chairs and opened it. I was angry at first, but when I saw the content in the bag, all my anger subsided. Confusing took over. What was Ken's spell book doing there? No wonder it was so heavy. It had a book as heavy as that in it.My eyebrows furrowed in confusion I didn't see Ken put it there when he got to my house the p
Kira’s pov “I'm not trying to fight it goddamn it!” it was like I was losing my mind. Scrap that, I was indeed losing my mind. I held onto the steering wheel as tight as possible. It was my way of reminding myself that I was still in reality and that I was not completely losing my mind. “Kira” the voice came out more eerie than normal and I almost screamed out of fear. I was sweating so much that my hand occasionally slipped from the steering wheel due to how wet they were. “Please stop” I had to beg because he was indeed making me lose my mind. “it's too late Kira” before I could under what he meant by that, the steering wheel of my car turned to the right forcefully and the car went in another direction. The speed almost threw me out of the car, judging from the fact that my seatbelt wasn’t even strapped. it kept driving by itself while I prayed to survive it. It started heading towards the woods. I thought it was going to stop, but it kept moving. I didn’t understand what kind
It was only a miracle that I was able to run without getting pulled back. Maybe he spared me. But he wouldn't let me go if he wanted to get free. Was he giving me time to think about it or was he going to torture me until I finally gave in? The fear that took hold of me at that point was so much that even after I had successfully made it to my house, I was still trembling in fear. My phone was nowhere to be found. I had tossed it during the process of running away from the horror I had experienced earlier. “Mirabel have you…” before my mum could say what she wanted, I had already shut the door. I needed time to breathe and talking to her was going to further get me exhausted. What the fuck happened? I finally had the time to ask myself. I slipped to the floor as I rummaged my hand through my hair. Christine was the cause of this. I was trying to get her free and now Fredrick had noticed me. What was he going to do with me, punish me for defying his order? I knew he was powerful even
FinaleThe next morning I woke up to a text from Christine that read; “come online” I still had a lot of sleep in my eyes, but when I was able to check why she told me to come online, the sleep left my eyes. It felt as though I was dreaming, but I wasn’t. Behold, behind my screen was my older self and there was a caption that said missing.What the actual fuck? I asked myself. The last time I checked, I didn’t exist anymore, so there was no was no way someone who didn’t exist was declared missing.I called Christine again because it wasn’t adding at all. The worse thing was, it was all over the internet. They said I had been missing for 6 months and that was the duration in which I had lived in my new body.“Did you see the girl? Remember her right? She asked even before I had the chance to and that only succeeded in adding to my confusion.“Remember? Christine you were the one who said you didn’t know this girl” I remembered vividly when I asked her the first time I happened to find
The other half of me My leg was placed on the edge of the window, ready to jump out when I heard a beep from my phone and I stopped. I brought it out from where I kept it firmly in my pockets and answered the call. it was from Christine. “Mirabel” she called out the moment I answered the call. “ken is awake,” she said and my heart skipped a beat. What the fuck did she say. How was that even possible? I asked myself. Well, there was only one way for me to find out. I ended the call and was about to jump down from my window once more when the door to my room suddenly opened. My mind jumped out of my body, but it calmed down when I realize it was just Rebecca, but it picked up pace when I realize I was about to do something that she had warned me not to do. “what are you doing?” she asked and I knew it was already late. If I wanted to see ken, I had to make up my mind to go against her. “I’m sorry mum,” I said and jumped down and landed perfectly from a building as high as that with
Kira’s POV“I have to tell you something” I said to Christine, but didn’t realize I was yelling. She almost choked on the cigarette between her lips.“What the fuck Kira” she frowned at me, but I didn’t care. I was desperate at that point.“I need to tell you something” I repeated like she hadn’t heard me the first time. How desperate was I. but why I wouldn’t when I got the news of me leaving this body? I needed to let her know incise me bumped into her in my next life, she wouldn’t see me as a freak.I looked around to see if there was anyone lurking around because I was most definitely going to be called a freak if they heard what I was about to say. I was certain Christine was going to think of me the same way, but I had to tell her.“I am right here” the frown on her face hardened and I had to mutter a little sorry to make her be less mad at me for almost killing her seconds ago.“I am living this body” I said in the lowest tone possible” I said, but the look on her face didn’t c
Chapter 100I boiled in rage as I ran to where Xavier was. He could hear me calling but he chose to play deaf and pretend I was important at all and it pissed me off.I tapped him hard on the shoulder when I got to where he was and he turned to look at me in frustration. “Don’t you dare look at me like that? I am the one who has the right to be angry” I said and he rolled his eyes at me as though I was the one who had the problem. He was the one trying to take my mate away from me.“you can't tell me how to look at you” he shot at me. true, but there was countless way he didn’t have to act like a jerk. Why did he have to be so mean all the time, like I was the cause of his many problems?Where are you taking ken to?” I asked he replied plainly and tried to walk inside the car, but I stopped him by holding his hand. He turned to look at me with a lot of disgust in his eyes.“do you seem to realize you have no right to be a part of his life anymore,e,” he said and I scoffed.What
Chapter 99 “hey you” my feet went as fast as they could at the sight of the witch. I totally forgot I had to follow Christine home at the sight of her and I started chasing after her instead. The sound of shuffling footsteps gave me the clue that Christine was just behind me running as well. “Hey!” I knew she could hear me because she wasn’t deaf and had no earphone plugged in, but she kept walking as though she didn’t know I was talking to her. Why did she have to be a bitch all the time_ the kind that knew the perfect way to get me mad I increased my speed and surprisingly that bitch increased her speed? Before I knew it, she was running and I knew I would be damned if I let her run off like that. I and Christine also increased our speed. “Hey stop!” I yelled. It would have been better if I at least knew her name, but I didn’t and that made it weird for me. She kept running until she got into the school female’s toilet and she ran in. “what the actual fuck” said Christine who w
Chapter 98I didn’t sleep a wink at night. Apart from the fact I was angry at the witch for playing with me the previous day. I couldn’t also sleep due to the strong migraine I developed due the beating I received from Bella. I shouldn’t have concluded that I was any match for her.“Oh my God what happened to your face?” I heard a voice and I turned to look at Christine. I had no idea I had walked past her. My mind was only fixed on one person and that was the witch who I didn’t know her name.And yes, I had forgotten to put makeup on my face because I didn’t see the point. Life was almost meaningless because ken wasn’t there.“I got into a fight” I could tell from how her eyes widened that she was surprised. Yes I wasn’t the type to get into a fight, but with the overwhelming frustration and unvented anger, it was hard not lose my mind over a slight provocation.“What the actual fuck” she let out.“Ken’s sister” I let out a distressed air. “That bitch thinks I am the reason he didn’t
Chapter 97Bella’s POVIt was hours since I woke up and I hadn’t moved an inch from my bed. Life made no sense to me anymore. It felt as though I should lay in my bed forever and wallow in my misery for eternity. Maybe that way, I will be closer to my brother who was not awake anymore. I tossed to the other side of my bed as I heard a buzz from my phone. It was no doubt from Xavier. He was probably calling to check if I was still breathing.I ignored the text at first but when I became too much, I groaned in frustration as I tossed to pick it up. “Bella for fuck sake, if you won’t take my call, at least reply my text” he said and I rolled my eyes. Did he expect me to be okay when I had a brother that was prone to be lifeless for almost 20 years or even more?The moment I tossed my phone to the bed in anger, I heard it ring by my side. “Fuck you Xavier” I groaned in frustration, but didn’t ignore the call this time. I knew he was going to keep calling me until I finally took the call,
Chapter 96I turned to leave but he didn’t let me. He pulled me back to look at him. At that point, my cheeks where soaked in tears. I didn’t wipe it off before the sped he used to pull me back deterred me from doing so. His eyes softened the more when he noticed I was crying.“Do you realize how worried I was about you” he asked and I just sobbed. Not caring if we were being stared at. “I went to your house several times and your mother wouldn’t even let me see you”I placed my hand on my head as I sighed. Poor woman. She must have gone through a lot. Now I was planning of leaving her again. No wonder there was a lot of hurt in her eyes as she yelled at me. “She was just scared” I blurted out.“So where did you go Mirabel” he asked more worriedly because I wouldn’t give him a reply.“Can we talk outside instead? I am not comfortable with these stares” I said and I noticed how reluctant he was. Almost as though he didn’t trust me enough to stay put and have a conversation with him out
Kira’s pov“I am not coming to your boyfriend’s house” I made it clear to Christine over the phone.“Jace is not my boyfriend” she defended herself.“Oh that’s his name. Well whatever he is to you, I am not coming to that house” I said with all seriousness, but she ended up chuckling. It wasn’t as though I hated him. He just had a way of making me feel so uncomfortable. His eyes held a lot of hatred each time he gave up at me and I couldn’t help but wonder why Christine saving me pissed him off so much.“He is not home and he not coming back anytime soon, so you have nothing to worry about” she assured him.“I am not just not comfortable with him around” I said truthfully.“He is not always like this, inside he is just a cute bunny” she said and I rolled my eyes.“I knew you’d say something like that. Anyway imp almost there”“Alright” she hung up the call.After about 5 minutes, I was already at Christine’s house. I packed my car by the road side and made it across the street.Standi
