We went home silently and uneventfully. The barrier was easy to breach of course with the help of forest whom by the way I hadn't seen once on this entire trip, I was too down and exhausted to play with him and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. The royal demon wolf guards were waiting for us when we arrived and they immediately escorted us back to the castle.The castle was quiet when we arrived, almost as if it had been completely cleared out before we arrived. Hashira and a few familiar council members were waiting for us but I ignored them as well and went straight into our bedroom. It was a little while before Hades joined me. By the time he arrived I was under heaps of blankets shivering and my teeths chattering because I was so very cold. All he did was find me amidst the mountain of blankets and then he held me close."Hades" said after my body had calmed down."Yes?" He asked."You are in love with me" I said softly.He was quiet for a moment, but he couldn't deny it. I t
A shot came out of nowhere. I was facing Hades and we were both talking about something, now that I think about it I can't remember what it was we were talking about, but a shot came high above from the left side and it came for me. Hades was fast and immediately removed me from the position, and I heard the loud boom that followed it's impact on where I just left. Hades held me tight to him and we were suddenly moving very fast. The guards that were hiding immediately appeared and surrounded us. They had shields out that were covering I and Hades as we rushed back to the palace. Several other loud sounds followed us, very close to where we were but managed not to hit anyone. We were soon inside the palace and I could hear barks of orders from Hades as he shouted at the guards. He went into the elevator and then down underground to the several floors of building we had.He was breathing heavily by the time we appeared inside a new suite. He sat me on the very good looking couch i
Our footsteps rang out as we walked back into the castle. The noise of the crowd was still reaching my ears after that little speech I and Hades gave. I thought we would get back into the elevator and then back into the new suite that I was staying in but Hades pulled me into one of the rooms in the hallway then closed the door on the guards that were accompanying us."Are you okay?" He asked, looking worried."I am" I replied as I nodded.Our heads both bent down to look at my stomach. It was showing a little bit for over three months."You told them about the baby" I said to him "I did. They were excited for us" he replied with a soft smile"I need to keep you safe," he said, pulling me close. He looked really very worried again."I am safe with you. I promise I won't let pride or any sort of duty keep me from protecting peanuts here. Apart from you, he is the single most important person in my life" I said to him earnestly.He immediately pulled me close and shoved his face into m
Early in the morning, I stood at my window lost in thoughts, gazing at the aura of nature as I saw the Ferris wheel in Manko park spinning.Suddenly my alarm rang, oops! I was late for school I said as I ran into the toilet, in less than six minutes I was already dressed up in my cargo pants and my fur-like black shirt, with my face cap and nose mask.I took my bag as I hurried to the kitchen, and took a pack of Pringles, remembering I will need to go to the grocery shop during the weekend.I slammed my door behind me as I greeted Mrs. Tabitha, my next-door neighbor, couldn't hear me, she was listening to memories by Maroon 5.I have a long walk ahead of me if I am to trek to school. I pulled my school bag tight to myself as I rushed to the bus park.''Cassie! I turned as I heard my name, mtchewww I hissed, it's Jonathan again, you look like a shredded falcon and your shirt is outdated, get a new one he said.I started panting when I got off the bus as I saw Jeffery, I knew I was damn
I finally left the school premises a few hours later, it was quite dark. I was already addicted to the dark as Mr. Gregory and I usually spent a lot of time together, especially teaching me in class after school every day and training me in the gym.The competition I was preparing for was mind-blowing, something that consisted of both physical and mental reasoning.We spent the earlier part of the afternoon going over mission plans, playing games, and gisting.I had Complicated schemes and schedules either to win or save, the game had two outcomes, I saved them, or we all perished.In the gym, I sweated profusely and probably stank where a girl shouldn't stink, but this was how it usually ended.I needed to be at my best if I wanted to pass. My luck has finally run out, I skipped In my walking my ears trying to cipher whose voice I just heard. For a second I looked at a log of wood in front of me, contemplating if I should make a run for it, I was a good runner. My body flew high ove
My breath was coming out faster as I ran, I thought I heard footsteps earlier but it was now quiet. I had been running at the top of my breath and I knew I couldn't run any longer but I wouldn't stop.It was late in the night, and it was cold, very cold. The houses I passed were quiet, most people were already asleep. I didn't know where I was but I noticed the houses seemed to have changed, I knew I wasn't hallucinating.Inside of me was unstable as my mind kept trying to collect what had happened, but I didn't want to recall the incident, what I had done, what I had let happen, and the power that got unleashed once again.My hands got cold and my calm breathing began to grow harsh again, as I knelt holding my chest. The image of Jeffrey was stuck in my head, at some point it went blank …. I couldn't believe it, but it wasn't there any longer.I had fainted the moment I felt the control of the spell letting go and slipping away. The last thing I could remember was their faces.I stoo
All that happened the previous day, rang in my head, and the bad scene registered in my head and made me feel sober.The Alpha police were still on the case, as they were the most important armed men in the whole of the East countries. They were only involved in dangerous and deadliest cases.I stood from my bed and walked around my apartment trying to flush the occurrence in my conscience. Nobody knew how I'd suffered in Bloomsville, for sure I had always behaved as if everything was going fine.I sat on my study desk thinking of how powerful and destructive the incident was, which prompted a whole squad of Alpha police to come for an investigation.I always knew the beast in me was an ancient enchantment that had come to reality. I had to keep it secret from the present world if I wanted to live.But I had already left traces of my powers that an investigative squad was already looking into. I felt angry about my behavior and my life. I was already scared of getting caught.I was in
"Hey dear" take a little water and feel alright, I felt a cold object on my lips as I open my eyes slightly. My stomach rumbled as I had just drunk too much water.I finally looked around as I was on a cushion facing the dining. "The food is ready, come and help yourself out, cassie" You are at my house, you don't need to be afraid, he said as he brought more plates to the table. I stood up and headed for the dining table while leaning against the wall.I held the dining chair as I sat slowly, still feeling the ache in my stomach. It felt as if I just did a hundred push-ups.Mr. Gregory sat opposite me and stared intently into my eyes. I felt he wanted to say a lot of things but doesn't know where to bring up the questions from.Do you remember what happened today at the gym? I almost said no.I almost shook my head in denial, not wanting to make things more complicated as they were already complicated.I nearly ignored that there was a problem on the ground that needed to be address
