I jumped up out of fears breathing hard. With my hand clutched to my chest I stared hard at the wall in front of me, I slowly bring my hand closer to my cheeks.The place was damn hot, I had to stand on my feet and rushed to the mirror. I looked at my reflection and saw strand of mark across my cheeks. My hands trembled in fears and I glared up in anger with my brow squinted.Even in dreams, mother still detest me so much, she slapped me. Why is she doing this? Aren't I special? What makes Damian more special than I do.I pace around my room and finally stopped in front of a window which is south to my room. I pushed it open and allow myself to be the victim of the gentle breeze blowing inside.This should help calm my fears, I swear I'm afraid if mother could from dream and it show it effect on my face then I think mother knows very much that I'm mistreating Damian. "Who cares?" I hissed and walked out if my room in furious.I will have to go fetch water from the stream since the wate
"Help me!” It was the scream of a woman. Loud and piercing through the night air. The voice was filled with so much fear, and plea that it stood the paws of wolves; ears of faery, and the soul of the brooding white witch—the voice of the crying pierced through the night and pooled on the heart of Alice. Waking her up from sleep, she ran at an insane speed. An angry Alice in motion was surprised at how fast her legs carried her and how weightless she seemed. She was practically floating on air. She felt a bizarre surge of adrenaline pop through her veins and even though she wanted it to stop, she couldn't control it. It was dusk and only the whisperers of the night were seen hovering because according to them, the last seed of their nemesis had been uprooted. A loud frightening belly laughter reputed behind Alice, cutting through the silence of the night and the serenity it provided. It sounded so close. As Alice turned to address the voice, she came face to face with a woman, she he
The cold night was eerie and silent. Everything except Alice's mind. She was certain there were burn marks on her body before her father brought her home and even after that how did the burns suddenly disappear? Her father had told her the lot he knew about her essence but still, Alice had questions that only the mouthpiece of the Oracle could answer. She had gone to the priest, the bridge between the mortals and their supreme being to get answers to her questions."The path you seek can only be made clear to she that sought it" the priest sang in a ritual song to her. "What do you mean, great one?""I don't have the answers to the questions you seek. But I can take you to a place to get the answers" the priest responded. "But you must be willing and ready" the priest added."I'm ready," Alice said defiantly. "Then, I must warn you. The journey you are set to embark on is a tricky one. You be careful with home to trust even in the spirit world. Recklessness and ignorance are the bir
Back at the werewolf camp, Emila quietly entered the prisoner's room without anyone noticing. Her target, Nicholas was sitting on a bottom bunk with his back to her. She stopped a couple of feet away from him and immediately he became rigid and tense, undoubtedly, realizing she was nearby. Emilia had such a strong stench it was impossible for another wolf or any being with a high sensation to miss or not recognize her stench from a distance. Nicholas on his part had been acting all weird out, it seemed as though his abilities had been restrained during his stay in the prison yard. Left to the rest of the council, Nicholas would long have been dead. But no, even Emila prevented them because she had read the handwriting on the wall. It got clearer. Most buildings didn't look beautiful in their foundation state. It only becomes beautiful when the building is completed. And some buildings that appeared beautiful at the beginning stages ended up being an eyesore when it was completed. N
The heart of a pure witch picked up the heartbeat of what was going on in the bush behind her. There was no way she would miss the heartbeat of numerous black witches springing from one area. “Where are you going?” Lucas asked the second she stood up to dive into the woods. Perhaps he was feeling with the distraught heartbeat of his mate that was trapped in the woods. How could he not? “I’m going into the woods” Alice confided and he immediately stood up. “I’m coming with you” he breathed rashly. He looked behind him when he saw her gaze fixed behind him. “The children will be just fine without me. The others can take care of them until our return” he added. Alice not wanting to delay any longer quickly nodded and head in approval and before long the two were delving further and further into the woods. Lucas had changed into a wolf, running ahead of Alice to get to the spot. Unlike his mate Emilia, he wasn’t a sentinel, nor was he a born werewolf. He was a born human and only became
Jesse swung his sword left, and right, ducking the way he'd been taught to when the dummy mechanically swung its sword at him in an offensive way that would have slashed his chest, something Jesse thought would greatly please his sadistic father if he hadn't parried the strike. It was all his father's idea, making him train with a dummy. Something Jesse had thought would be easy until he realized the dummy fought harder and more expertly than anyone he'd ever trained with. Nice, Jesse bitterly thought, slashing again and missing the dummy who stepped out of the attack zone and roughly kicked at his legs, making him stumble and barely keep his balance. Jesse didn't know what to call this bloodthirsty thing fighting with him but 'dummy' didn't cover it."Watch your feet, Nicholas! You're too negligent with your feet!" His father barked from where he was sitting, munching on grapes and watching his son fight something greater than him. Jesse was suspecting that the man was getting some
The events of the school week weighed heavily on Alice she could not interpret the strange encounter she had with the new guy hunterShe had noticed earlier the creeping feeling of being Followed on Monday an act which she found most annoying to shake off having taken the long route home that night felt like a bad idea on it's own, with how late it was she regretted the extra time she spent at the library only because the last bus for the night had already passed through the station for the night That meant one thing for her. She now had to trek to her home a total of thirty minutes. Would not kill her but being "the pessimist" she is she expected everything to go wrong after all weird things had been happening after mummy dearest paid her a visit. the hair iron going up in flames after it burned her hand and she had said in her words She wished the iron would go up in flames damn iron!Or the car door slamming her dad in after she had wished him a Terrible day for not allowing
Dad!!’ Alice screamed "Alice calm down this is you, you are the one controlling it take deep breaths it is your emotions that are reflecting come on, Alice hold it in and command it to close. now Alice!"Alice stood still taking her hands towards the book she commanded it to close immediately the book closed it pages and the room returned to stillbess once again. " what just happened" Alice replied shakily " your mother and I thought we could stop it. We thought we could help you and shut you away from such powers now look what we've done you can't escape destiny, I should have realized that soon enough now Alice your powers have awakened I can't protect you anymore. They know you are alive you need to leave now" her father replied Alice watched in apprehension as her father took the stairs straight to his room waiting for a bit before deciding to follow him "that book in my library had been closed for over ten years I tried almost everything to get rid of it, it reminded me so
Damian visited Victoria, the head security at the security office with a complaint to render. It was 10 AM in the morning. The guard at the entrance of the establishment stopped him right on track asking for his identity.'I think I can recognise you, are you one of the wolf hunters?' He asked him.'Yes, I am,' came the reply.'Ooh. Ok. If I may ask, what has brought you here to our office today?''I have an important message to deliver to the head security, Victoria.''And what is that, if I may know?' The guard asked Damian.'It's about a wolf we encountered yesterday running into the forest, whom we shot but couldn't capture at the end.' Damian replied. 'Ok, you may go in. Our head security is in her office right now.' Damian bowed with gratitude and left the guard, heading towards Victoria's office.Victoria POVI was assessing some files in my office when a knock came on the door. I think it's no familiar one as I have no appointment with any of the staff or a visitor. Since, I
Mr. Gerald sat at the terrace of his home with a sullen face as the evening sun went away, to reveal a gray cloud it would be winter soon he thought to himself walking into his home he sat inside to a warm meal of porridge and dry morsel bread his life had been put on hold ever since his dear the daughter died nothing could lift up an old man's spirit everything seemed to go so slow-paced packing up his meal he washed the dishes and returned to bed. The events of the world seemed to be in a slow tune as everything around him screamed to hold on and not give up lying on his side he closed his eyes as the darkness consumed him. He saw it in the same dream which had been plaguing his mind for three months now his dear wife had appeared to him wearing the same dress she had on the day she died ever so beautiful but unlike when she was alive with her lips full of laughter and smiles. But now she spotted on her face a grown a grimace as tears leaked from her eyes it's color a dip red and i
It was over it was finally over the long war had been put to an end everything would return to normal after this Alice chanted in her heart as the spell broke and she was released from Albert’s body he coiled at the far end of the forest it seemed it took a lot out of him he had helped although last minute he had come through for them releasing control to a person not more the creatures you dislike Emelia changed her form and rushed of to her mate, tears flowing down her cheeks in quick successions unto Lucas she held unto him tighter Alice looked away for she could not bear to recount how many wars she had lost, gathering her bag she walked deeper into the forest, it would take a while before all the realm heard of the battle that occurred so she would be fine for even a few hours sitting at an empty spot where dead flowers were scattered around, she wept for everything she had overcome staying at the spot with her head in her arms she calmed herself, suddenly she heard someone clear
Alice stared on at the flames as Lena stepped out almost unhurt, that was impossible but not so much so as Lena did have troll magic. Troll magic could be used for many things and it seemed that it could even withstand fire she would have to think of something fast in order to keep Lena distracted. The rest of the group were fleeing the kingdom while Albert and two warriors had gone to the cells in order to free the trolls she would be left powerless and weak that itself would be enough to kill her.“did you think that a little fire would kill me you weak little witch” Lena spat……”I shall show you what true power is” Lena spoke bursting out of the flames she chanted a spell immediately the grounds of the ballroom began to shake and quake in its wake as the floor split open and smoke began to pour out, the creature emerged from the smoke looking directly at Alice they charged.“Shilfo aftinki” Alice chanted as the first beast made to grab her hand it flew back with a force as a shield w
A tall sturdy female walked into the mist, by her build you would think she to be a warrior or fighter but a woman who makes dresses that you would never have thought for the timidity of sewing a dress would surely give her prick to her hands every now and then. staring nervously at the seamstress Alicd gulped to which the woman chuckled “Shall we move on to your chambers my lady” she replied softly“Yes “ Alice replied her They departed and walked into her quarters Alice undressed to her bodice to which she stood at the raised platform the woman had placed on the floor the seamstrss moved on sewing and pinning her heart away Alice shook in antsy as the dress was becoming immensely heavy to wear sighing with displeasure at the already looking outcome the woman chuckled before her ….”you seem to not be a lady to wear a dress such as this my lady but on a special occasion like this a dress is a must for you shall catch the eye of all. A mission I believe is what is planned the mistress
Smiling gleefully she replied ………….’clear the halls, for I shall host a ball and all the kingdom is invited send word that every creature of the dark realm shall be in attendance no excuses given’ she spoke taking her staff she signed the scroll………..”lets see how much longer they can hide CROHO get ready for you shall be the main attraction of the ball and make sure this time you do your job properly” she spoke grabbing him hard enough to scar……..” leave” it was an order and the beast scrambled for safety as it stumbled numerous times before flapping its wings away……”incompetence” she muttered shaking her head the ball could be the event to get her people to see they all had and needed one common goal she stood up matching to the outer chamber she stumbled and hit what she presumed to be a creature hissing hotly she looked into its eyes it was shivering in fear, feeling merciful Lena ignored the mess. walking on she could feel the stare of the servant piercing trough her very being sh
The day broke off with much antsy as the cabin emptied itself of its inhabitants they marched on in a single file towards the front of the home “what are you all doing” Alice asked to which they replied training in chorus Alice shared glances with Adrian training wouldn’t hurt anyone they could all use the push before the grand day of battle the rest of the group groaned in fake expiration to which Alice chuckled and even. Emelia smiled it wasn’t a full blown smile but it was something. The camp had been walking for hours and it seemed they were getting tired of the journey they could not train unless hidden from plain sight and in the deepest of woods covered by magic. Byprass seemed not even the least bit tired for he had not broken but a single sweat he was a lanky male with a slim statue almost the kind of man you would picture collecting the scrolls round the scroll tower and not a warrior but if this trek was anything to live by then he would be a formidable foe on the field
What did you say to him’ Albert asked ‘ I believe we have made ourselves an alliance, Alice spoke up wearily he hopes to join us with a resistance of some sort he has numbers something we clearly lack as for the moment we shall camp with the group he has a plan and until I hear it I shall not make my decision or be in haste of my answers.‘you seek to join the enemy has Lena not thought you anything about working with the enemy your friend my mate Lucas is no more due to the fact that you turned the enemy to your friend I shall not be fooled again I say we march on we shall have better luck if we know our enemy and leave them there as just that enemies’ Emelia spoke up The rest of the group nodded in agreement although the food was nice and the tent warm the enemy was still the enemy a fact that was very much still uneasy in all their hearts moving on would be the most logical of ideas, not to mention the fact that Lucas was a dead weight which was slowing down the journey how much
Silence… That what it all was total silence as LENA head rolled off to the other side Emelia breathed out in relief it was done everything was finally okay turning to face Lucas her mate as he laid down there she walked towards him a scream rang from Alice but came off as a howl due to the fact that she was still in Albert troll body fire spilled out of the head of Lena it was a truly horrific sight as the head stood up and still and began to speak "The time of the black cloud is neigh and blood shall be as that of the mountains. I look forward to seeing you again ‘ amacara’ till then I leave you this parting gift, my many demons ‘ the head spoke as it disappeared ‘What??’ Emelia murmured confusingly ‘A little troll blood and a few potions can make even the most realest of illusions look real ‘ Albert responded…….’that is one of the many powers of the trolls she hurts my people’ he voiced out releasing himself from his natural form Alice came falling down he caught her midair placin
