Chapter 35: Cold “How many times do I have to tell you that I am seriously, super duper okay, Elon. Okay?”, I said to Elon. I am starting to get annoyed by him. He came—Oh scratch that, they came here to ask me if I am okay and this the nth time he asked me the same questions. They are wearing their armor as they are ready to launch an attack into the forest but thankfully, someone informed them that I am already here. Elon said that Master Aeneas told them to be ready as per the council requested. I wanna talk to Elon privately since he is the only person whom I told that I will stay in the werewolves' lair because I think that that is the right thing to do. I wanna asked him what happened here while I am inside the forest. I look around as if I don't know what to do. I don't know how the knights fit inside of my room. If you will calculate it, they are almost twenty and as I was saying, they are still wearing their full armor. How the hell can they breathe in the small–well it w
Chapter 36: Hidden DoorI decided to go back to my room after what happened between Aziel and I. Well nothing really happened since he chose to ignore me. And I also can't take it anymore, my head is aching and I don't think I can go to the maidens penthouse to ask Miss Penelope if she has something for my cold. I hope this pain could fade in just a rest.I started to walk again, backing to where I came from when my head started spinning. Thankfully I have gotten to hold onto the table that is placed against the wall in the hallway. I held on to the corner of the table tightly as I held my forehead.The vase on the top of the table fell thats why I quickly arranged it to the way it used to be before falling down onto the floor. That made me nervous!But I was surprised when the wall beside the table opened. My eyes literally wide open while looking at the wall moving. It was like a secret door. Is this another problem? But dude, I want to know what is inside of this hidden door!I l
Chapter 37: Daunted“Calliope?”, I was stunned when I heard her voice as my eyes became widened while I was staring at this man. He just raised one of his eyebrows, still breathing hard.“What are you doing here?”She asked why I slowly turned my head to where she was as I wave my hands a little. She is looking at me confused, that's why I answered her.“He–Hello, Miss Zipporah”, I said as I smiled to her forcely and I dont know how my face turned out when I did that. “How did you find this place?”, she asked again as I was so nervous when I noticed the people in her back. It is the council and they are all wearing their hoods.I cannot see their faces as they where bowing a little and added to that, they are all staying in the darkness, porbably they dont want me to identify themselves. No human nor other creatures have seen their faces before, except for Zipporah, I think it is because she isn't scared by the people whom who can judge her after their wrong judgment. What would you e
Chapter 38: PorridgeI came back to my room slowly thinking about my life. I am feeling bad about this cold as I am starting to sniff. I walk fastly as I can so I can rest. I became breathless when I reach my room. I open the door as I quickly lie on my bed. I pulled the blanket to cover my body. I close my eyes and I dont know when did I sleep.I opened my eyes as I heard a knock on my door. I triend to sit down but all over my body is aching. The door opened and it was Miss Penelope, she was holding a tray of foods as usual and when she got to see my state her facial expression change into a worried one.“Calliope”, she called my name before putting the tray of food on the the top of the table.She holds my forehead and neck as she looks at me anxiously, “You are sick, Calliope. I will go get some medicine for you, wait for me okay?”, she said and I nodded in return. She came out of the room and I lay on my bed again trying to close my eyes as I was dizzy.I sniff for a thousand ti
Chapter 39: EffortI opened my eyes and I don't know if what I am seeing is true. I saw Aziel staring at me so I closed my eyes again trying to be sane as much as possible as I could. And I am really just imagining things when I open my eyes again. He was not here so yeah, I am just hallucinating things.I slowly sit down, my eyes landed on the table and above to it is the tray of foods given by Miss Penelope and I notice the medicine behind that is placed also on the tray.I fell asleep so maybe Miss Penelope didn't bother me as she just put the medicine on the tray. I slowly stand as I want to eat even just a little before drinking the medicine. I just ate a three spoon of rice and a little bit of vegetables. I don't wanna really eat because I can't swallow the food but if I really want to feel okay I need to eat this. I take a water after drinking the medicine and I just stare into something for a couple of minutes before deciding to lie on the bed again. My headache is mild compa
Chapter 40: SelflessShiloh’s Point of View“What?!”, I asked Ahira annoyingly as she kept on murmuring. I don't know why but it has been a minute since she started to look like that. Oh yeah, she became like that after I talked to Zipporah and after that, she couldn't help herself murmurings and she kept on staring at me angrily. I really cannot spell this girl.I talk to Zipporah about the mark we see when I am on my mission with Calliope and later on with Ahira. I know that weeks have passed since the mission but who cares, I just got the time right now and Zipporah too, she is always busy that even though we are living in the same house, I didn't get to see her.I explained to her what happened, the mark on their necks which is the waxing crescent moon and how they couldn't control themselves when a Craven is in front of them.I showed her the mark on Ahira's neck and she became uneasy when she saw that and looking at her face when we've an interaction at that time, I knew she alr
Chapter 41: AttackI am looking at the ceiling above my bed. I was thinking about what happened this afternoon and thinking about that made my lips form into a smile.I was really thankful for the efforts he put in that dish, yeah dish because I can't call it a porridge. After he asked me if I wanted a second bowl I vomited. I can't hold it anymore as it was really bad and yet he can't accept that it was really bad. He believes that his so-called porridge is the best when he didn't even taste it himself.It is already evening and I can't sleep. Probably because I was almost asleep the whole day. I touch my forehead and neck using the back of my hand as I feel my own temperature and it seems like my fever is gone. My head also stopped aching and it is just the cold I am having a problem with. I can't stop sneezing and almost five rolls of tissue are placed on the top of the table beside me.I sat down as I decided to put tissues in both sides of my nose before leaning on the headboar
Chapter 42: StartingShiloh’s Point of ViewI was sleeping when I felt that there was something wrong. I peeked on the window and I just wanna curse all the curses when I saw my garden burning in blue fire. Damn it! What is happening? Who did that?I quickly decided to change my clothes before I decided to go outside of my room.I am so angry at the moment I realize that my roses won't probably survive. I can't explain my feelings right now as I walk to my garden. I stared to it as I couldn’t do anything, all of them were already burning and I couldn't save even one of them.I clenched my fist as I was ready to kill. Who did this b*ll sh*t? I look at them once again as I look around to see what is happening. Everything was mess.I ordered every knight of the Cravens what they needed to do before I took my own action. My hand has been itching for a while looking for someone to kill. This bastard should know their limitations. I smirk seriously, no one will be left out breathing in this
