"Long ago, Dragon existed... But how did they come into existence. There was a war, between two king's... The war was never ending, both sides were equally strong and had great Warriors. In a bid to end the war, one of the king's... King Gerald decided to seek help from a sorcerer. The sorcerer casted a spell on the warriors of the kingdom and that spell turned them into dragons by day and men by night. With the help of the spell, the war came to an end with king Gerald winning of course. The dragon's flew back home, happy to meet with their wives and kids.... eager for the spell to be broken, but a grave news awaited them. The sorcerer had died leaving no clue as to how the spell could be broken.... The dragon's were left disheartened, cause from that day, they had to live as dragons by day and men by night." Wow, just wow.. this is the very reason I always skipped Mrs Hardy class.. she's always full of nonsense and stuffs that doesn't make any sense. Dragon by day and men by night, what a joke.
"Excuse me Mrs Hardy." Cara Huggins my worst enemy and rival raised up her hand, drawing half of the.. if not the whole class attention to herself. You might be wandering how we became worst enemies and rival, I also don't know how.
"Ma'am, are you trying to say.. that this dragon men still exist, that they are real." Cara asked shewing briskly on a bubble gum.
"Yeah, that's right Cara. They are indeed alive and very real." Mrs Hardy smiled brightly. Ugh, one more of this nonsense dragon trash and I might just end up puking.
"Oh wow, who knows? My boyfriend could actually be a dragon, he always comes to me by night." Cara laughs playing with the strands of her hair, I rolled my eyeballs... "Probably because he is a frog by day." I said quietly, loud enough of for her and atleast half the class hearing.
The whole class burst into laughter, Cara had no choice but to sit down quietly, feeling a tad bit embarrassed. Anastasia:1 Cara:0.
"Well class, we have come to the end of the class. Don't forget... " I didn't want to hear the rest of Mrs Hardy words, I carried my book and dashed out of her class. I just never get that woman, she's supposed to be a history teacher and teach about history. America history, you know... History! But she always goes on and on about dragons and things that never existed.
"Done with classes for the day." Britney, AKA my best friend says standing next to my locker.
"Yup, I am free as a bird baby." I grinned, ouch that sounded way better in my head.
"O..kay." Briteney laughs.
"Don't you dare laugh, it sounded better in my head." I defended, closing my locker.. and started walking really fast.
"Wait up!!" Briteney screamed running after me, she did catch up with me eventually... she was breathing so fast, like she just ran a marathon.
I rolled my eyes, held onto my school bag, "Will you stop with the dramatic breathing." I eyed her.
"You are like the worst friend ever, do you know that?" She glared at me, taking out her water bottle.
"I am your only friend, since like... I don't know, daycare?."
She huffed, "Just because we have been best friends since like daycare... Doesn't give you the right to joke with me. Anyway, I've got a date. See you later." She flips her hair dramatically, and walked away... She catwalked.
"See you later too, and no! I do not take our relationship for a joke, and why do you always say that. Anyway, say hi to the guy and please just give this guy.. whoever the guy is, a chance!" I yelled after her.
"Fuck you!" She yelled back.
I shaked my head laughing, that's my best friend; she's dramatic, crazy, and fun to be with. I know for sure she would definitely be going for another date tomorrow, and it will not be with this guy.
Well, I better get going.. I have a shift at MIMI'S PIZZA PALACE.
***************************************************************************************************************************************************
Returning from work, I decided to go through a really dark alley.. it's a shortcut and I only take it once in a while.
Work was a bit tiring and now, all I can think of, is going back home, soak myself in a nice warm water filled bathtub. Ohh I forgot, I don't have a bathtub. Ouch.
I suddenly became very alert, I took notice of my surroundings... Every single detail. There was a big trash can at the side of a wall, a stray cat running around.. an owl not to far off, howling. I could feel someone eyes on me, I could tell that I wasn't alone... Someone is watching, someone is watching from the dark.
I took a step.. whoever was watching also took a step.. is this person following me? But why? Oh my God, is this person trying to rob, rape or do something really bad to me. Fuck! I look behind me but I didn't see anyone, since the alley is dark.
I breathe out then ran with all my might, and hid behind a dumpster.. I waited silently, holding my breath... My heart beating so fast. Not to long, I heard loud footsteps... In the dark I could make out the figure of a guy, looking back and forth.. probably for me.
I release a deep breath, held onto an iron rod I found next to the dumpster.. 1,2,3 I hit the guy really hard on his back. Ouch, that's definitely painful. Please tell me I didn't break his rib.
"Arghh. What the...!" He exclaims facing me, with the help of the shinning moon.. I could make out his face in the dark. He is handsome, really handsome.. but one outstanding factor, is his eyes. Blue eyes.
"I'm supposed to be asking you that. Why are you following me?. I don't even want to know why you are following me, just don't follow me anymore or else I would be force to hit you really hard on the head next." I huffed, then walked still holding onto the stick tightly.
"Wait!" The guy yelled, I didn't stop.
"Please Wait! Please...." He begged. I didn't stop.
"I need your help, please wait. I really need your help." He shouted, his voice resonating in the dark alley. This must be a joke right? He needs my help? With what?. Sorry blue eyes guy, but that ploy with not work on me.
Without stopping or looking back, I walked away.. leaving the blue eyes guy there. He probably couldn't come after me, because he wouldn't want his head splitting into two.
The weekend passed by in a blur, nothing eventful really happened and of course... I have already forgotten about the incident with the blue eye guy. Okay, maybe that's a lie. I haven't really forgotten about the blue eye guy, memories of that night is still very much fresh in my head."Finally! You decided to show up, what's your excuse this time? And don't you dare tell me your cat died, you already used that excuse like three times already." Britney said in one breath, scowling at me. "First of all, I'm not late." I said as a matter of fact, staring at her right in the eyes, tapping on my purse."We agreed to meet here at exactly 5pm and this is 5:01, it's just 1 minutes passed.... Do not make it seem like I left you standing for over an hour. And my cats dying were not just an excuse, I lost three cats to death and yes, the fourth one is still living. You saw three dead cats Britney, I don't know why you are making it look like, I lied. Geez, may their soul Rest In Peace." I did
Days passed by, and my mind just kept on wandering to what blue eyes had said. Could it truly be true? Could men really turn to dragons by day?What the fuck am I thinking, that can never come true, it can never be real.I have always been a practical person and that's not about to change now. The whole dragon/men story is beyond practical."Girl!" Britney yelled in my ear, bringing me out of my deep thinking. "Girl, what is your problem?" I asked rubbing the inner side of my ear."My problem, is that I have been talking to you for 2 hours and you are not listening to me. You are not even responsive." She complains, frowning really hard. She is right about something though, I wasn't responsive to what she was saying. And this is not because, my minds keep roaming to blue eyes or the dragon men story. Nope, I am not responsive..... because she's totally spitting trash about some hot guy she just met a moment ago, actually the hot guy walked passed her and now, she's on some dumb miss
"Mrs Hardy?" I called more like in a questioning way. I guess I can now see how blue eyes here knows my name. "Hey Anastasia, you made it. Frankly, I thought you wouldn't come." She smiled at me hugging me from the side. I didn't hug her back."I didn't think I would meet you here." I said to her as she leads me towards the mansion."Well.... Here I am. Anyway, before we go in.... You should know you are kind of a celebrity around here." She whispered in my ear.I stared at her confuse, "What do you mean?""I'm just giving you a heads-up. Anyway, we shouldn't keep everyone waiting, they would all be feeling so impatient to meet you. Anastasia please meet the family." She grinned at me, as she opened the door of the mansion."Wow." Was the only thing that could come out of my lips. This is like a whole village in here. *The family* is so much more than a family. "Welcome Anastasia, I'm so glad you could make it." An elderly, okay not so elderly... but agile man came forward to shake
"You are definitely not crazy, and neither are you dreaming. What you are seeing right now, is all real." Mrs Hardy whispered in my ear, I am at loss for words. I don't know what to say."Don't you want to say hi, let's go closer." Mrs Hardy said smiling. She grabs my hand and lead me to the field. She stops in front of a really old dragon, like really old... I don't need anyone to tell me this particular dragon is great-gran. "I thought you would have fainted, the ones before you did faint even though they already knew about magic. And you that didn't believe a thing about magic, is still standing." He said weekly. "You can actually talk." I exclaimed in surprise."Yes of course, I'm still a human." He chuckled. If I am to understand dragon face, I can tell he is trying to smile or he is already smiling. "Yeah, I guess so." I agreed, staring at his skin with so much wonder, the scale... and how they fold is such an amazement to me."So... the others before me, knew they were witch
"So sorry sweetie." The woman, who is my aunt says softly... trying to hug me but I shifted politely."Uhm sorry." She pat my shoulder. "But, what about my dad?" I asked hoping to hear he is alive. "You would need to sit down for this." She breathes out, this doesn't make things look good. I sat down on a couch and she sat down opposite me. "You see my dear. When words got out that you were supposedly having the magic of Arkalis in you, a lot of bad witches and wizard, wanted that for theirselves. And to save you, your mum and dad had to take you far way. They got into an accident, and the whole family thought you also died with them. Up on till this date, we didn't know you have been staying in an orphanage... before leaving, your mother covered your scent, so none of course could use magic to find you. Your mother made it impossible for us to find you, so that no harm could come your way." I felt sad, all my life I have been wishing to reunite with my parents and now, I get to f
"So, our first stop is the cinema." Anastasia announced standing in front of a really big old building. I can certainly tell, that this building would not be surviving another five years."The cinema? I thought cinema aren't opened at night." I questioned walking over to her."Not this particular cinema. This cinema stays opened forty eight hours on the clock." She replied, already walking through the doors of the cinema. I rushed after her."So.... what kind of movie do you like? Horror, thriller, romance, tragedy?" She asked standing in front of the ticket booth."Romance. Romance comedy preferably." I answered standing beside her.She asked the man if they would be playing any kind of romance comedy movie for the tonight and he answered with a yes, but the movie is scheduled for 12 AM on the dot. Ana bought our tickets and gave me mine. "So before 12 I guess we should do other stuff for fun. Let's go." And without even checking if I was indeed following her, she was already walkin
"Surprise? We are traveling back in time and you didn't tell me." I yelled hitting his forehead not to hard."I did not tell you because it's a surprise. ouch my head." He groaned rubbing his forehead softly."Whatever." I rolled my eyes."Anyway, I need to get ready... I need to go say goodbye to my best friend, to my cat, and also my friends at work." I said excitedly."No no no no. You don't have to say goodbye to them, they won't even know you are gone. Yes, you are traveling back in time, but even though you spend a year in the past... it won't affect this current time. It would be like you were never gone." Christian's mum said smiling. "Wow, well I will miss them.... especially my best friend. I won't say anything to her, but can I at least spend some time with her, before I embark on this journey. She's like my life support, and I'm definitely going to miss her." I blinked my eyes sadly."Of course you can. Just be back by tomorrow evening. We have no time to waste." "I will
"Thank God your mum gave us this silver and gold coins, we wouldn't have had money to buy this horses." I said to Christian as he rode the horse with skill... for some reason he is really good at riding a horse.Christian and I was walking with no direction in mind, cause some don't even know where my ancestor wizard lives, thankfully... an old man riding a horse came to our rescue. He had two horse with him, so he sold us one. Then he showed us the direction to the nearest village."Yeah, or we would be trekking to this village right now." Christian replied, I couldn't help but gosh as his hands holds the reins of the horse. I could literally see his veins popping out. Okay what the fuck Anastasia, you are here on a mission... not stare at his tasty veins.ANASTASIA!!!!!!!...* my subconsciousness yells, literally slapping me on the face.Okay... okay, I'm back...* I replied my subconsciousness, averting my eyes from Christian bulging hand to the road ahead of us."You know is really
"I can't let you do this." Mrs Tabitha opposed strongly of my idea on how I want to fight Abaddon. "I wasn't asking for anybody's permission . This is my decision to make and my mind is made up on it." I replied deadpan not backing down from her piercing gaze."If things go south and Abaddon ends up defeating you in there, you would end up dead." Sir Adalard muttered worriedly."But if I end up winning, I would put an end to Abaddon's reign." I retorts."That is a big if right there, Ana." Uncle Mateo mumbles under his breathe. I sighed. "I really... really do need you guys to trust me on this. I know I can defeat Abaddon this way. I just know it." "I believe in her." Christian voiced out, squeezing my hand. I smiled at him thankfully."Fine. We would all trust you on this then." Sir Adalard resigns."No I don't. I am not part of the we." Mrs Tabitha voiced."I know you are worried that you would loose her, just like you lost Amelia, but you have to trust your granddaughter on thi
I was in the year 15 BC again or probably before that. How did I know? The horses, the dressing style and of course everything in particular."You are not in the past, this is more like a dream. Your dream." Arkalis voice came from behind me."How and why are you in my dream?" I raised an eyebrow staring at him attentively wondering if this is another mind game of Abaddon."Because I'm dead and there's something I want to show you. Something I never knew of while I was alive." He answered walking past me.I stood still watching him leave... "I am not Abaddon and this isn't a mind trick, so hurry up student." Arkalis yelled. Even if it's Abaddon what do I have to loose following him?I hurried off to where Arkalis was standing, then walked by his side."Is this a palace?" I asked as Arkalis came to an halt Infront of a really big gate, the guards standing watch gave it away."Nope, it's a house with palace guards in it, cause the king was really generous enough to lend some of his gu
“Lucas, how can it be Lucas? I can’t believe he killed my daughter and framed Reeve.” Mrs Tabitha utters in shock pacing my tiny room. Finding out Lucas is terror isn’t really completely shocking to me, not like I knew the man so well… I’m just glad Abaddon isn’t really someone close to me. I should have suspected him, he laughed just like terror, and also read my mind with ease. Wait, Lucas knew the witches would try to hide me in the safe house so he changed into a pink haired girl and made sure I stepped out. So he controlled those teachers to leave. Wow. He wants to end me, but before he those that I should end him. I should think of a way to use this new found information to my own benefit. I think I have the perfect plan, it should work.“I have a plan on how we could stop Abaddon, but we might need some help. How much do you trust the elders?” I asked staring at her determined. “With my life.” She replied without hesitation.“Then we need to call for a meeting.” *******
"Christian!!" I yelled out waking up from my deep slumber."Hey.. shhhh. It's okay, I got you." Christian whispered calming me down. I took notice of my surroundings... I'm in my room back in hudrats, my head is currently on Christian's thighs and we are not alone. Mrs Rowena and Mrs Tabitha are both here.I stared out the window and it's sunny outside. I must have slept for about six hours, seeing it's sunny outside."Thank goodness you are awake, I was so worried." Mrs Rowena said worriedly hastily drawing her stool closer to the bed, she takes my hands and rubs affectionately."What were you thinking going out there Anastasia! You knew very clearly that you do not have your powers and without them you can't protect yourself. If Christian hadn't come right on time, you had be dead." Mrs Tabitha lashed at me, her eyes holding anger and what seem to be worry."Tabitha! The girl just woke up." Mrs Rowena exclaimed in disbelief."The dragon... Christian.. how?" I thought it was all a d
“What??? How is that even possible. This is HUDRATS! He can’t waltz his way into here.” Rowena throws her hands up in the air in shock.“Well he is already here and most of the teachers are already trying to stop him, so we need to get going Rowena those teachers won’t be able to hold him down.” Gunther said trying to catch his breathe. “What about Adalard and the rest?” Rowena asked walking towards the door. I followed.“Already sent some teachers to go get him and the others.” Gunther replied.I was about following Rowena out the door of the kitchen when she came to an halt, she turns around and stared at me. “You can’t come Anastasia.” Rowena pats me on the shoulder sadly. “I can’t just stay in here. Maybe a face off with Abaddon is what I need to bring back my power. Please Rowena, I should be out there fighting.” I argued, my eyes pleading.“And what if you don’t get your powers back?” She raised an eyebrow. “I…” I was about arguing further but she stopped me with a hush. “I
Britney’s POV:“Please tell me that man “is” the last man.” I said to Carl, fanning my face with my bare hand. I feel so tired and hungry. If my house wasn’t destroyed I would really love to soak my tired self in my bathtub, or go for a dip in the swimming pool.“Yup, that’s the last.” Carl replied folding a big poly bag. I accompanied Mrs Maria and some young men from the clan about my age, to hand out incentives to the people affected by the earthquake. Most of this people lost their homes, jobs, families and a lot more. Mrs Maria can’t give them back their lives and so handing out food, clothes, bed and a warm blanket is all we could do. If witches were to go around the world repairing broken earth, houses, companies and all.. that would be one suspicious movement and also there’s not a lot of those witches to even help with the movement. “We should head back to the van.” Carl suggested. I would love to step back and just admire this young fineeeee man standing in-front of me,
"It's all chaos Ana, everywhere and everyone is in chaos out here. Where the fuck are you cause I need help to get out of here!" Britney yelling voice comes through my phone speaker the second I answered her call."Calm down Britney, I will come get you right away. But first tell me where you are." I spoke into the phone softly."I'm my house, where else would I be?" She replied sounding agitated."Okay Britney, I need you step outside your house, that way... if there's any earth quake about happening you could avoid it." I instructed her. "Okay, okay. I'm going outside, any other thing I should know?" I could picture her nodding to my every words, her hands tightened around her phone like her life depended on it. "Stay put and stay safe. I will come get you right away." I hung up, turned around ready to leave the clans mansion in other to go save my best friend."I'm coming with you." Christian said bringing me to an halt. I turned around, "you can't." "Why not?" He challenged."
"Long ago, there was a demon called Abaddon. Abaddon is the keeper of hell, he is called the destroyer and the bringer of terror. Abaddon life's goal was to bring hell on earth for humans and the only thing that could stop him was dragon's breath. And this is were Arkalis comes in. In other to stop Abaddon from destroying earth and merging it with hell, he had to create your forefathers... the dragon." Mrs Maria paused."So you are telling me... that war wasn't between kings like it was told?" I asked shocked."Yes. It was between Abaddon and your forefathers. The dragon's breathe, couldn't kill Abaddon it could only separates Abaddon powers from his body and that gem contained his powers . With the little power he still had in him, Abaddon was able to disappear never to be heard from again." Mrs Maria narrates. "And what happened to the Gem?" I asked crossing and uncrossing my legs patiently."It was placed in a hidden location, that even the elders know nothing about. And this is
"How could you've kept this from me. The entire clan, yes! But me, why?" Christian exclaimed pacing around the cabin. Christian didn't leave earlier when I actually thought he did. Instead, he drove out of the woods and waited for me. Since he suspected I didn't have my powers anymore, he knew if his suspicions were in anyway true I would walk out of the woods. If I had my powers, I wouldn't be walking instead I would have just disappeared and appeared back in my house. I had tried to argue and Lie to his face again, but he wasn't having any of my lies so I came clean."I knew you would refuse me from doing so and I can't lose you Christian. I can't watch you die." I cried out standing up from the armchair. He came to a halt sighing, rubbing his forehead tiredly... "OK I get it you didn't have a choice. But this terror you gave your powers to, isn't he the same person who tried to kill you back in the past?""He... he is the one." I stuttered staring at the ceiling, avoiding hi
