"I'll try to make it to the next match, Amber…I'll be next."That was the last thing Errol said, before I finally left.It was a long trip from our hometown to Dauntless City. We had to go through three more towns before reaching the city.The closer I got, the more strange I felt. After passing through three towns we entered a secluded area. There wasn't much going through there, and there was a lot of towering trees around. At the end is a very high wall and gate.The name was engraved on the front, the tool was neon red, as if it was a burning object.Dauntless City"I'll just go here," I looked at the person who delivered me, he was carrying my bag and handed it to me.I accepted that and watched the car drive away from me while blowing a lot of air. Next came another black car carrying a familiar face. He stared at me and then he came to me carrying his things."You're the fifth winner, Amber Lancaster?" I nodded and looked at the hand he held out to me."Andrea Algort." He intro
Dauntless City is hell just like what others describe it. It wasn't that big, but well-known. I don't know why the tradition is not removed from every town in this Region. It seems that the annual election of people to be sent here has become a part of the lives of the people in this region. Maybe the others, they want this place especially if they like trouble—but when you're here? You'll probably regret wanting to win that battle and enter this city."Guys guess what I've found out?" Cyan and I were busy putting on our combat boots when Andrea came in from nowhere. It's early in the morning, and Zack woke us up a while ago.Funny to think that this room has only one bathroom with a glass wall. Meaning, whoever inside this room will see you taking a bath and changing your clothes. They seem to be used to it while the three of us are still adjusting.I almost lost it while taking a bath and Cyan was just right on his bed. Not only did he turn to me but I knew he was gone. The glass wa
I returned to the purebloods headquarters after the meeting in the hall to sleep with Andrea. The next day I left to tour the city. I found out that the former members of the various factions who are making families are being dumped in the southern part of the city. They live there. And their future child is raised properly and prepared to enter different factions.I also went to the building of the pureblood faction, and they all turned to me. They look at me differently, as if I've been here too long and I'm no longer their equal. They were looking at me like I was superior to them, which I hated."Isn't he a terminator?""Yes, I found out about the battle he did in the north the other night. He's so strong, he hasn't even transformed into a vampire yet.""He deserves to be a terminator. I never thought he was that strong.""He's almost on par with Primus.""Amber!" I looked at Cyan and Andrea who rushed to me."Goodness! is that you?" they stared at me. I am wearing a long gothic c
I left the purebloods building after Caleb left. I wanted to calm down, and I was directed to the same lake, I almost drowned. I sat down on a large rock on the side and watched the whole place. Apart from the very high wall, all the woods can be seen around, the sunlight is not that hot because it is covered by a little thick cloud. As time goes on, more and more questions come to my mind. Maybe, Caleb is right...I don't need to trust them because I have myself. I have to choose where I'm safe, and it's in between. I have nothing to trust them with. I need to get out of this place alive and already know who I am. I come in here often defeated, I will come out as the one left standing. I know—I already have a suspicion where I belong and it's not really among the three groups here. The girl who took the test was right. I was born with the blood of two races. Something I need to know how it happened. I left the lake after calmin
It was almost a fairytale, but I guess not all fairytales last forever. After we returned to the building, we were immediately surprised by an unexpected event. Braeden immediately ran into what was going on. I followed to see what's really going on and I'm shocked to see Cyan. It was bloody and almost impossible to get up. He was surrounded by some men who were our colleagues in the faction. "Fucking shit Braeden is here!" "It's a mess." "Which of them will be responsible." "What the heck is happening here?!" Braeden's voice echoed, silencing everyone. I looked for Andrea and I saw them looking at me. Andrea's crying, she was shaking her head at me that I couldn't understand so I immediately approached them. " What happened? " Andrea can't answer me...so I looked at Blue and Elic but they also averted their eyes from me. "No one will answer?! Don't make me fucking wait! Answer me! What is happening here?!" "We really d
We separated ways after the test. Braeden needs to do something so I went back to our room to fix myself before lunch. Andrea greeted me and made me sit at the table where they were. "The battle of the factions is coming, are you guys ready?" Blue asked us. "I guess we have no choice but to be." "We just need to win, braeden won't let us lose in this. Vampires have worked hard to be stronger than wolves for a long time." Elic inserted. "You mean werewolves used to be strong?" "Their former alpha was. It was just a story I heard, that the former alpha Rogan Lancaster is the most powerful werewolf in their generation. Not until a vampire girl, entered this academy and everything takes an unexpected turn." I was stilled when I heard that, like something struck my heart for an unknown reason. "And where did you hear that? All I know is that werewolves used to be strong." "The headmistress herself, I was just passing by and I heard them talking about it. Like, she said vampires need
Braeden's POVI don't know how it happened and why Amber treated me like that. I wanted to approach her, but I don't think she'll like it. I'm busy playing with the knife I'm holding, and you're going to throw it hard on the dart board a few meters away from me. I hit the bullseye."You seem to be alone. It's like you and Amber used to stick together?" A woman's voice echoed in the whole training room. I ignored him because I was not interested in him and approached the dart board before picking up the knives I had thrown there."Not interested in me, aren't we? Come on, Braeden. Amber is really like that; she's a bitch and she doesn't care about anyone." She went closer to me and even held my shoulder in a sensual way. She's clearly flirting with me."Back off, Sumeria. I'm in the middle of my training.""Oh, you don't know? There's better and more effective training than this. Come on, Dim, you should have fun. You're not being too loyal to Amber, you're just being used." She tried
One thousand years, ten centuries, forty generations of humanity and a new year of existence has arrived. The existing stories of humans have become my reality. A blood feud between vampires and lycans were never ended, unseen by human eyes. The king raised me inside his kingdom, training me to fight, to kill, and to be more powerful than all races. Without knowing that it is me who will kill him soon and take over the throne.From the top of the building I was on I jumped down without hesitation. The moment that my foot touches the ground, I quickly headed down the small road to the North.My movement was fast, no one could ever notice me. Humans, they are too innocent for that, they will just find me as air whipped against their skin.As soon as I saw my target, I quickly threw the knife I was holding that struck his back, I heard his growl because of what I did. In less than five seconds, I quickly arrived in front of him. I grabbed his neck, and choked him to death as I pulled the
When Damien arrived as the immortal, it gave silence to those present without knowing that he wasn't the real one. "Amber? You okay?" the war between factions started to be silent. Zack's group from the werewolf faction was quiet after Damien appeared but that doesn't declare that they will forever hold their peace. "Yeah, I think." I've been feeling uneasy for a while now, I'm feeling bad and Andrea seems to be paying attention to that. Cyan, on the other hand, just watched me as if weighing what I said and what he saw in me. "You're pale, you're not okay. Should we call Braeden?" I shook my head. No matter what happened, Braeden was the leader of Vampire faction, he couldn't be bothered especially since he was there training the new members."I'm fine. Where's Damien and Mira?" I changed the conversation and they both looked at each other. "King Lucien called them, they said they had something to talk about. We don't know what." I s
Dimitri approached me as if nothing had happened and I could hardly breathe when he grabbed my waist to stand me up."Did I hurt you?" I immediately recovered and quickly shook my head."No, I'm fine, we have to leave now.""Are you guys done? Is brother okay?" I turned around when Mira peeked so I immediately got into the driver's seat to drive. Dimitri immediately got in next to his brother and even though I could feel Dimitri's eyes on me, I started driving, faster than our driver was driving earlier."He's after you now," I heard Dimitri's voice and I assume he's talking to Mira."The reason why I took Reeve with me, I know this will happen. It just happened late, because what I expected was while we were heading to Zirconia," I glanced at the rear view, before speeding up the car."Why didn't you tell me right away?" they were quiet because of the tone of my voice."I was scared," I tightened my grip on the stirring wheel.“You knew from the beginning, that King Lucien was going
"What are Amber's likes and dislikes?" he frowned at my question."He likes little and dislikes a lot. But I don't know what it is either, it's hard to understand him and it's hard to read his movements. Even his emotions are deceptive. He is not open to emotions and his feelings, there is only one emotion that you can often get from him and that is when he is angry.""She's rigid," I mumbled. I noticed the spread of sauce on the side of Mira's lips so I quickly took a tissue and wiped it off and she smiled at me."How sweet, can you do that to Amber?" he said laughing, apparently teasing me."You are like a tiger that is ready to attack at any time. I think I will have a hard time taming him.”"You're right," she said before she bit into her pizza."For us, he is the most feared." I turned to him when he said that and he gradually became serious."I don't want to say this because I don't want to spoil your happiness but Amber is a very dangerous woman. You can't trust her cold and ca
I met Rino when I was leaving the kitchen. He immediately bowed his head, avoiding my gaze, which made me shut my brows. And there I recall what that idiot Damiento told him.It's probably better if he said that so that someone would stop calling my 'future'.I don't care what Damien said because you have no truth."Amber, are you okay?""Yeah, I'm just bored." I looked up at Chen, and he smiled slightly at me. I ignored him and just went back to the old seat.It was only a few minutes before we ate lunch and it seems that what Damien said to his friend had a big impact because he remained silent until we finished.In the evening, Mira and I went home first. I didn't talk much about it and was about to enter my room when he suddenly spoke."What do you think of Damienitri, Amber?" I didn't look at him. I kept my eyes on the door before approaching it and holding the door knob. But before I completely turned it, I slightly tilted my face in his direction."Stupid humans who always love
I returned to the cafeteria with no emotion on my face. I was about to enter the entrance when suddenly someone bumped my shoulder. I looked at him annoyed but when he looked at me he was still smiling at me.He's one of the group I've been noticing. I patted his shoulder and ignored him and walked back to the table where Mira was.They were comfortably talking when I appeared beside Mira's seat."Eat Amber." Rino offered me."What's going on with Damien, he's gone too." I stared at the food in front of me for a moment, before quietly picking up the spoon and fork."Damien is quiet right now, I just pay attention. Is he okay Trick?” good thing Chen asked."Hmm? Is it quiet? I don't know either, I didn't notice that he was quiet today. But if that's the case, maybe he's just thinking deeply." I slowly took a bite and chewed. Before looking up at Rino who fixed his glasses before starting to eat again."Maybe something happened to him?" the two looked at Mira while I continued to eat."
I stopped walking with my hands in my coat's pocket. I stared at the students passing by. They may find me weird, but I don't care. I breathed out and was ready to leave when two familiar faces appeared in my sight. When the guy accidentally looked in my direction, his brows furrowed and he stopped walking."Damien, why did you stop? You're okay, does it really hurt?" that's when my stares drifted on his arm, I noticed that it was red and I know it will become a bruise.I looked back at Damien's face that was still staring at me."Look what you did to me." His companion, Rino, turned in my direction."Hi! Are you going home? Come with us.""Rino! That woman is cruel! Look what she did to me!""Bro, you just have a sensitive arm! Look how gorgeous she is! That can't hurt." Damien was stunned by what his friend said, which I secretly smirked at.I ignored them and started walking away when this nosy human held my arm. I quickly withdrew my arm and distanced myself from him. I'm running
Friday wasn't that long to wait for. I entered the room and quickly took the bag containing the necessary things. I caught up with Mira in front of the main chamber, she was about to board the car that picked us up. The driver got out and opened the door for me. I immediately rode next to Mira who was silently watching my movements. I didn't greet her. He didn't greet me either.The gate slowly opened to let us in and the moment we got out I felt a heavy feeling. That seems like a huge responsibility that we will face in this mission.It only slowed down when we reached the bridge that divides Fabrica and Vesuana.Vesuana is a town from Reial, Reial being a province far away from the cities where more mortals live. Vesuana is a lonely and remote town where no people know that vampires live in this town. Next to our town is Fabrica, where a vast forest is located. And next to that is Peirsus, the largest town in Reial followed by the town of Cassiopeia, where most of the lycans are. Th
