Angel is a demon and not a ghost! That's why he keeps on telling me that he's real. He was able to use a face that would not freak me out. But the moment he showed me his real face, I didn't know how to unsee it. The best thing I can do is to just ignore his presence.
It went on until it's my last year of college. I was able to trick my third eye not to see him. Although I'm aware that he's still around me. I can feel his presence especially when I'm inside my dorm room. He tried many tricks to make me look at him again.
But I keep on ignoring the fact that he's there and not planning to leave. One day, I was left alone around the dorm for the holidays. My grandmother left for the US for a visit. I had nowhere to go so I stayed in my dorm. It's eerily quiet when I arrived at the mall.
I saw a ghost from my peripheral vision but chose to act like I didn't see it. That's advice from another shaman I met with my grandma. The shaman advised me to ignore the other side for a few years. He saw Angel with me and told me that a spirit has attached himself to me.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you ignoring me?" The ghost girl asked repeatedly.
Again, I ignored that I heard her voice. I need to stop acknowledging them for as long as I can avoid them. The reason my third eye developed was that I keep on talking to ghosts. I also look for elementals to chat with them. What can I do? I don't have many friends!
The lady ghost suddenly looked horrified and disappeared. I already knew what happened. Angel made it vanish but I'm still not going to acknowledge him. I don't want to see these beings anymore. I'm done having my third eye open. Now that I'm about to graduate, I will live a normal life just like everybody else.
I went straight to bed since I felt tired for the day. It will only take a few more months until graduation. I will be moving to another city and have my apartment soon close to my job. Luckily, I was able to get absorbed by the institution where I had my on-the-job training.
It's a mental institution where slight cases of mental health patients are admitted. Honestly, those people were just bored and decided to create their own delusions. Although some are experiencing hallucinations. But I can handle that since I already experienced working there.
I suddenly wake up from my sleep and check my alarm clock at the side of my bed. It reads 3:00 AM. That sucks because it means that it's still too early to start my day. I don't have anything to do since it's still the holiday break. But I feel the need to pee so I get out of bed.
The toilet is located outside the dorm rooms. My room is nearby but I have to get out so I can go to the comfort room. Still sleepy, I got out of my room and was greeted by a pitch-black hallway. I'm the only one around on this floor. That's why the caretaker turned off all the lights.
I don't care since I can still see something in the dark. But the problem is, what I can see is another dimension mixed with the real world. That makes it hard to navigate when I'm outside the streets. But I know that I just need to walk straight to the comfort rooms, I will be fine.
Once I reached the door to one of the bathrooms, I reached for the light switch. I was expecting that it would get bright instantly but I'm still in the darkness. I tried to turn on the light switch again but nothing happened. On my third attempt, I tried to look at the switch.
To my horror, my hand looks luminous and transparent. I can't touch the light switch, that's why the light bulb didn't turn on. When I looked up, I saw about five ghosts looking directly at me. They were all sinisterly smirking and walking towards me. I panicked and backed away.
"You're not ignoring us now, are you?" The ghost of a student asked straight to my face.
"She can't ignore us now that her soul has left her body!" The ghost of an old man said.
"That means that you're also a ghost... like us!" The ghost of a little girl said.
The five ghosts laughed at me, making me feel the deafening sound they were making. I can't believe that this is happening. How can I do the astral project now after a long time? Although I was able to do this before, the last time was when I was just nine years old!
This is bad! Not because my urge to pee earlier was gone. It's because my body was left empty. I need to go back before some ghost possesses it. It will be a disaster if I dont go back to my body right away. I turned her back from the ghosts and started walking back.
The hallway is no longer pitch black but it looks like a different place now. Instead of the doors of the rooms, she can see nature now. The side where my room should be located is now a part of a stream. There's no way I can get back to my room and most importantly, to my body.
But I know the way and I have to go back to my room whatever happens. I can hear different voices calling my name. This is what the shaman told me before that might happen upon trying to close my third eye. After ignoring the ghosts and the other side for years, it finally relapsed. I walked towards the direction where my room is supposed to be but my entire dorm was gone.
I felt a hand grab my wrist and pulled me out of that stream where my room was supposed to be located. Everything looks different now from what it was earlier. All I did was get out of my room to take a leak. But everything turns upside down because instead of my world, I am now on a different side of it."Careful! That stream is too deep. You can drown there if you fall." Said the voice I can recognize anywhere."Angel?" I asked even though I already know that it's him."Who else will save you from the other side?" Angel replied with a question.He's smiling at me as if nothing happened to us before. I know that I was wrong for just ignoring him after I saw his true face. It's been a long time since we talked to ea
"Angel, what is this pale vampire talking about?" I asked with a confused tone."It's true. I can't lie to you." Angel replied with his head down trying to avoid my gaze.That's another sudden realization after a few years of thinking that Angel is a demon. But he just told me that he's an angel earlier. I guess he's telling the truth. He is indeed an angel...An angel of death!"So it means that you're with me because I'm already dead?" I asked in a panicked voice."Mary, the first time you saw me, I was supposed to be your soul to the afterlife. But I can't just do it!" He explained."That's why you have been protecting me all these years. I ha
I'm still in a dream state because I can see Gregory sneaking inside my dorm room. He's watching me sleep and I can see that my body keeps on tossing and turning from my bed. When Gregory went near my body, he smiled as he looked at my exposed neck. When his fangs show up as he smiles and looks at me before bending over to my sleeping body. He sinks his vampire fangs to my exposed neck and I felt a sharp pain. The skin on my neck stings like hell after he takes away his vampire fangs from me. Gregory just sits beside my body for the longest time as if waiting for me to wake up. But he became impatient and stood up. To my horror, he looked me directly in the eye. Then he was away and just vanished in thin air. That's when I walk to go outside of my room. I s
"Okay, enough drinking for now!" Gregory pushed me away from him slightly.I almost didn't let go of him because his blood made me quench my thirst as well as satisfy my hunger. But I never thought that I would see his memories from my vision from drinking his blood. It's so vivid as a dream but the only difference is that it was his memory.Gregory wiped his blood from my lips clean with his thumb. I feel like a child who needs to be taken care of by an adult. But I like the gesture and I can get used to it. Nobody has taken care of me ever since my grandma passed away. But it's too much to ask from anyone until Gregory."Welcome to my world!" Gregory said to me, smiling sweetly.I wasn't able to take a good look a
It's a surprise marriage and I never thought that Gregory was serious about it. But since we're already in the chapel, I don't have a choice but to play along. There were about six vampires who attended our wedding ceremony. They all look like couples and ready to catch me in case I change my mind about it.I'm not sure if the priest is human though. But he looks stoned the entire time. Maybe Gregory hypnotized him or something. He's not pale to be a vampire so I concluded that he's human. I absent-mindedly touched my neck where Greg bit me while I was asleep from my dorm."Do you, Gregory Duke, take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked in a robotic tone."I do!" Gregory replied to the priest.
Waiting for a destined lover for 500 years has never crossed my mind when I met Gregory from the other side. That was just yesterday and now, we're already married.I've learned that for vampires, it's more important for them to have a companion. Our marriage is not exactly because of love like humans were trying to accomplish.Vampires don't have to worry about the need to have children. All they have to do is to bite someone and give them their blood. That's how newborn vampires like me were created.After the wedding, Gregory left me by myself inside the room where I woke up earlier. I'm not sure what I have to do now that I was left alone. After becoming a vampire, I already feel bored.I
"Gregory! Don't ever do that again!" I firmly said when I realized that it was him.I can see him smirk with his white teeth and fangs protruding from his luscious lips. It made me think about how those lips will feel on me besides my lips. We already kissed twice before so I have an idea that they taste sweet."What are you doing here? Let's get back outside!" Gregory said and took my hand.My thoughts about how his lips tasted made me feel embarrassed. How come I have to think about that the moment I see him? But I tried to hide my thoughts and just followed him with one hand on his.I have never been so close to a guy before and I can’t help but feel as if I’m blushing. That&rs
Learning how to be a vampire is not easy. I thought that all I needed to know was how to hunt for food. But it’s more than that because there are restrictions now that I'm already a vampire.Gregory is very patient in teaching me and I appreciate that. But there are times that it gets on my nerves. I didn't know that I needed to learn the vampire's way of living.I have to act like a proper lady whenever the vampires gather. I disagree since we are all bloodsuckers there anyway. But Gregory has a status quo to uphold and I have to protect it as well as his wife.There are times that I don't even want to join their grand get-together. Although I'm not sure if Gregory will allow me to avoid it. I don't want to know how he will react if I dec
"I think you have to talk to your dad about that part," I told my son as we walked back to the enchanted mountain.Marius fell silent and didn't say anything anymore. I have a feeling that he met a girl while he's roaming around the area. But I'm not in the position to teach him about finding his companion. Gregory will be able to do that for him.That made me think about how I fell for his father. He stalked me and turned me into a vampire without my consent. It was forced and I can't do anything about it anymore. But I've grown to love him as time passes by. Will Marius need to do that as well?Gregory catches up and all three of us walk towards the balete tree. Even if we can be there faster, we decided to walk like mortals for some bonding t
Marius saw a village that seemed to be hidden from the woods. He has never been this far from the enchanted mountain. It seems to be a different place now and maybe he should go back. His mother will not be happy if she finds out.But being here by himself makes him feel free. Ever since he was born, he's always been with his mother. As a vampire, he grew up so fast. That's why he outgrows everyone around him. He's an adult now but still wasn't able to go home.All he knows is that the werewolves are after him. That's why they ended up on the other side. But now, they are staying in the enchanted mountain. He's sick and tired of not being able to be free to go everywhere. That's why he decided to get out of there.He just watches the villagers g
The werewolves arrived at the Witch of the West where Claire, the psychic, lives. The alpha seems to like visiting her almost every day. She was able to drive the vampire child to the other side. That means that they will be trapped forever.Claire also directs Count Gregory and the grim reaper to the dark cave. It's not easy for anyone to deceive them. She was also able to send the monsters to the ghost bride so she will not talk anymore. It's a perfect plan to avoid the prophecy."Claire, my dear! Any updates about the vamps?" The alpha werewolf asks her."There's none, my love! I told you, I already sent them to their death." Claire replied and received a kiss from him."Good girl! I think that the prophecy will no longer happen now." The alpha werewolf feels satisfied.Claire smiles for him sweetly and they go inside her room. She's a good actress indeed when the vampire and grim reaper visited her. They didn't eve
I can't help but feel bad about Angel. He sacrificed himself just to save me. But it's all for nothing because I'm not on the other side anymore. Gregory told me how the rogue angels got to them. I feel guilty about it but I'm also furious. It made me want to seek revenge."Honey, stop thinking about it now. What's important is we're both alive." Gregory told me."I just can't help but to feel bad about it. If only the portal is still open, it will be safer to get there!" I replied to him.The portal must be open once again or maybe another one must be created. Why didn't I think of that? But I don't think I can create a portal. I'm a vampire but maybe another being can do it. But who could it be? Then I saw the nunos having a meeting.
Marius seems to enjoy his time on the enchanted mountain. The small people seem to also like his company. They always hang out while Earl teaches me how to control my abilities. It's not easy because I don't know what they are and how to use them.I didn't know that aside from seeing other creatures and going to the other side, I can also fight. Marius got his flames from me and I never even imagined that I can ignite anything using my mind. I have pyrokinesis which I only discovered during my stay here.Earl also convinced me to try jumping off a cliff. He told me that I'm an immortal anyway. I can't die because of gravity anymore. So, I tried it and I never thought that I could fall and stand on both feet afterward. Everything feels new to me since my vampire training was paused.
"Mary is that you?" One of the Nuno asks the moment we step near the vicinity."Yeah, it's me! Good to see you, Earl!" I excitedly greeted him."Wow, you didn't even age a bit! Being a vampire has its perks." Earl told me."It has only been a year since I visited you here with my husband." I giggled."The last time I saw you with the count was fifteen years ago," Earl informed me.I can't believe it! That's why my son is all grown up now. We have been inside the other side for just a few hours. Fifteen years had passed since then. Does it mean that the werewolves forgot about Marius? I hope that's the case but it seems like we
My grown son and I reached the foot of the mountains. I can't believe how tall he becomes in just a couple of days from the other side. It might be the effect of the place on a vampire child like him. But I have to stop feeling amazed by how he grew up so fast.I need to start finding the "Nuno sa punso" around here. Maybe they can help me save my child from the werewolf prophecy. It seems that we were able to reach our destination. I'm not sure if it's the same place. Gregory is the one who brought me here before."Mom, how much longer must we walk?" Marius is now complaining."Don't tell me you feel tired! Vampires don't feel that, Marius." I replied."Yes, vampires don't get tired but they
"Marius, take my hand! We have to get out of this place!" I screamed in panic.My son doesn't even seem to be bothered by the skeletons emerging from the lake. But I don't want to risk it. Even if we're immortal, we can still die if these creatures kill us. He did what I told him to do and I closed my eyes."Mom, what are you doing?" Marius asks in a worried tone."If I was able to bring you here, I can also get you out!" I told him and tried to concentrate.I'm not sure if this would work but I was able to get to the other side without the portal. I don't know why but I suddenly think about the Nuno sa punso. They are my friends and the last time I saw them was when Gregory took me to
"Marius, that's enough!" I called him to come closer to me.I can't let the shadowy creatures hurt my son. But where did they even come from? The ghost bride is shaking beside me now. I don't know what these creatures are trying to do. Marius walks casually towards me. He seems to just secure us before doing so."Don't worry, mother! They can't come through my flames."Marius said proudly."Thanks, sweetie! But what are these creatures?" I ask myself more than him." They are Jinns and they come to take over the other side!" The ghost bride now informed us about them."So, it means that they want this place and not u
