A27: A Star has Disappeared
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56We entered a dark alley lit only by large candles. The hallway was not as long as I thought as we passed by with echoing steps. Uncle Alvaro turned another hallway, then walked for a few meters and stopped in front of a door. My heart was beating as he knocked on the iron door. Nothing happen yet, but, my throat has been blocked by an imaginary stone. I miss Gran and Dad, and cannot wait to ask Mom how she found this base.
The door opened, but the person standing behind it was not someone I knew. I looked at her in surprise.
She is a tall girl, but a bit chubby. Her shoulder-length hair was black. Her iris eyes are light blue. I vaguely smell the vanilla scent from her body.
“Who's she, Dad?” asked the girl.
“‘Dad?’” I slipped involuntarily. “Are you David's little sister?”
The girl looked down at me. I suddenly felt midget.
“Big sister,” she murmured; still watching me. “He's my little brother.”
Uncle Alvaro rubbed my shoulder

WOLVIRE A28: Oops, Another Charming Guy!
That night I slept in the same room as my family. Family. My chest was tight when I remember one of them is gone. “Barbara….” I curled even closer to the wall. Mom's soft voice made it even more unbearable. They say Hugo—the man who attacked Gran's house—took Dad's body with him for whatever reason. I had raged at Gran because he did not want to stop that person. “I'm very weak, Bara,” Gran whispered earlier. “I can no longer fight Hugo. He is too strong.” I understand that. It is just that I am still too disappointed, still too hurt in the heart to accept Gran's condition at that time. My feelings are like falling to pieces. I walked out of the shared room feeling frivolous. Mom called me in weakness, but I just muttered unclear to her. “Do you think that I don't feel sad either, Bara?” cried Mom; the tone was so hurt. I stopped, and then turned a little to her. My lips lifted to form a
WOLVIRE A29: If I Knew from the Beginning He was My Enemy
The intruder was still threatening Arga's head with the same steps as me. I turned my head. “Who are you?” “We go out first,” whispered the intruder. “Unless you want me to say it now with one life for my demon in return.” The way he said it made me shudder. I wring my fists nervously as we arrived at the main room (?)—I don't know what the right name is, so let me just say it that way. What time is it? Why is there no one at all? I stopped in front of the first step to the top. “Just go up, Barbara,” the intruder whispered again. I took a deep breath, and then climbed the steps with the stranger still holding Arga behind me. My back was bristling without being able to hold. A drop of cold sweat fell on my forehead. My eyes glanced at dozens of windows at the high wall of the bunker. Once again, where are they? Why did no one hear our echoing steps at all? I almost gasped when we finally reached the top door. Th
WOLVIRE A30: I'm in Trouble
People say we can feel something if death approaches us. People say, the signs will look real and strange to other people. Some say that the person who is going to die is the one who is most aware of it until finally making them try to say goodbye that will look odd in the eyes of the closest person. On the other hand, I did not experience it all. I didn't feel anything strange, the people closest to me were now far away somewhere so that no one would tell me what was wrong with me. My death just came without giving me the slightest glimpse of it. “Hi.” I looked at a girl who was now entering my gloomy “prisoner” room. Sunlight can only enter between the narrow vents above the pitch-black window. I once tried breaking the glass, hoping that the magical power of my vampire or of wolf-shifter could help. The effort was successful, but in the end, it was in vain. I managed to get out of the window only to find me caught again. Dozens of g
WOLVIRE B1: The Chaos that Already Happened
All the inhabitants of the Black Wolf tribal bunker suddenly woke up when Arga's roar blared to cause a panic echo. Linda Alexander and Aryadi Brawijaya woke up with a double shock. One because of Arga's scream, the other because Barbara was nowhere in their room. “Lin, what's happen?” Aryadi pulled himself up to a sitting position. His head was still throbbing, even though it had been more than a week since he had been hospitalized in this bunker-shaped base. “Where's Bara?” Linda got up; her eyes couldn't help but worry. “I have no idea. Barbara had come out for a while. I guess she is still outside now.” Aryadi slowly climbed down from his bed. Linda immediately approached and helped him walk. They came out of the room together with several people who seemed in a hurry to run toward the hall. “This is bad! This is so bad! Get together quickly!!” Arga's voice still blared throughout the bunker. Assisted by Linda, Aryadi limped to try to reac
WOLVIRE B2: Decision
Four aged figures who are the Elders of the Black Wolf Pack appear to sit around a round table in a room. Similarly, Aryadi and Linda, as well as Alvaro as the leader of the pack. One of the Elders, wearing a brown coat and sitting in a wheelchair, cleared his throat. The elderly man named Magen glanced at Aryadi and Linda. Magen looked at Alvaro sharply. “Alvaro, you surely understand that Hugo wouldn't know about this base if he himself went around sniffing the grass under his feet.” Alvaro nodded. “I have ordered my right-hand man to investigate it immediately, sir.” A slanted-eyed Elder with a wrinkled face snorted. He pulled his hand from the table and crossed it on his chest, holding it. “I hope it doesn't take long,” he blurted out. “It's bad enough we lost an important wolvire without having to let the headquarters be infiltrated.” Alvaro lowered his head even though his jaw slightly hardened. “Sorry, Mr. Jonathan, sir
WOLVIRE B3: Ignorance
That morning the Garuda Indonesia plane cut through the misty sky that was definitely choking bones. Linda looked at the Bangka Belitung Islands below, which had shrunk so that it was no longer visible among the pile of clouds and dew on the plane window. The female vampire shivered. The AC was not the cause, but the bad thoughts that suddenly flashed through Linda's vital organs hidden between her skulls. It hurts when you cannot keep a promise to a friend who has died. Linda leaned her head back as her hands clenched into her lap until her knuckles turned pale. If Linda could have acted selfishly just once, she would not have cared about Barbara any more while her beloved husband had died because of someone who wanted that girl. The vampire woman's throat felt like a hollow emptiness. In her hidden heart, Linda admitted that she was a little hurt and felt unacceptable about her husband's death. Even though she knew it was not Barbara's fault, but she could
WOLVIRE A31: Futile Rebellion
I have never felt so miserable, even when Mom and Dad restricted my freedom. Several hours after the girl who brought me the morning meal came out, I just sat quietly leaning on the bed. I drank the water in the teapot but the food on the plate was still intact. I really don't want to eat it, no matter if there isn't a single poison there. I know I sound stupid. If I meant to die, I should not have to drink that water. I should not swallow something or anything. I should just lie down until my body is weak and emaciated. However, my brain seems to remind me continuously. Always gave me hope that somehow Gran and Mom must be trying to find me. I do not mean to be arrogant, but I am sure the rest of the Black Wolf pack will definitely come looking for me. I don’t know shit, really. However, judging from the things I have seen and heard so far, it seems like my existence is quite important to them. Whether I deserve to be saved or eliminated, both depend on whom the person gets to me.
WOLVIRE A32
I woke up in another room that was darker than before. My head was dizzy when I got up and sat down from my lying on the cold floor. For a moment I blinked without being able to see anything, but a moment later I was sniffling.This can't be true. Damn!I frantically grope the cold stone floor beneath me. I don't know for sure, but my visibility that is getting clearer even though it's just dimly convinced me that this is another ability of being a wolvire.I stood up, surveyed the situation around me. I was in a small, humid empty cave. The darkness at the mouth of the cave convinced me that it must be night. Before I thought I was alone here, but then I heard a faint voice not far from this cave.I crept up to the mouth of the cave and peeked, wide. A few meters beside the cave, I saw a group of people dressed all in red. They all appeared to be wearing something like black batik scarves and necklaces of jasmine wreaths that were draped around their necks. I twitched when I saw anot

WOLVIRE Epilogue: The Beginning of the End
She changes her fate with a slash of something supernatural, once a month, and Erza can't escape. The slashing magic was sent by a witch from across Sulawesi, even though she had been exiled to a tall tower away from the hustle and bustle of humans, right in the Valley of Panic. Even though the distance stretched for hundreds of miles, why was the union of witches so eager to always punish her?This must be a curse, because after all, entering the supernatural world with the lure of immortality was fooling. Erza, who was able to get out of there, must have been lucky. She is now immortal, but no one should expect everything to be young. In order to remain immortal, she absorbs the life energy of other living beings around her.That is because the leader of that damn organization's decree was announced for Erza to be exiled, a decision which of course was correct.Well, Erza is lonely, but that doesn't mean she's suffering. Instead, she was entertained by the sma
WOLVIRE A47
When Hugo left me alone in the cave, I lay back down on the stone bed with the thin mattress and musty blanket. My eyes stared blankly at the ceiling of the cave with chaotic and erratic thoughts.My thoughts and memories are as clear as crystal, from my childhood to the present. In less than a month, I had become a completely different person from what I was before—cold, cruel, heartless, and evil. Moreover, during that time I killed someone I seemed to have loved very much before—my mother.My eyes blinked. There was a wet curtain covering my eyes, blurring my vision for a moment. My throat tightened, as if I was holding back a cry that if released would make me feel like a wailing child. However, there was one other feeling that held back all my feelings: ignorance.I was sad, devastated, shocked by the fact that I used to be just an ordinary girl who wouldn’t be able to make my mother cry. Nevertheless, I also felt the chill I felt when tha

Like a flower that loses its beauty; so is the present that is happening to the whole country.Darkness forces beauty to mourn, darkening the happy atmosphere without being prevented. Gloom, that's all that's left.An eclipse comes between freezing snows. However, it actually lasted longer in retaliation for the delay.They said the darkness was created by a child. Dark and terrible poems about it began to surface.The girl fell like drops of rain from above the horror. She stood like a haughty tower in the distance. She limped in a gray cloud, like dawn breathing death.Someone once said in a tone like being watched by the darkness itself; her body winced, like stepping on embers of silence in the darkness that was painful.They said the girl had a sad sigh. The past without burden has become a memory, she said, missing it feels like a thirst for blood. Now the cruelty of maturity is a problem.People ask themselves: how does all thi
WOLVIRE AB5: A Friend but Foe
I finally woke up.I gasped for air and jolted awake until my body half rose from where I lay. I gasped, plopped down on the pillow again and closed my eyes for a moment. My head was so dizzy, like it was spinning.I was starting to feel like I was going crazy.All the flashbacks I have had just now have completely drained my sanity. Why should I experience someone else's experience? Not only did I witness memories like before, but also I actually experienced them; their every thought and deed, every detail I should not have known.Why?All of this brought me to a thought that I quickly pushed aside. I do not need to think about it anymore if it will only make my brain hurt.I opened my eyes and watched the roof of the room I was sleeping in. The roof looks like it is not the roof of a house, but… I woke up suddenly and my vision suddenly darkened. I closed my eyes again for a while before finally opening them again.I have déjà vu. I got out of bed slowly and l
WOLVIRE B29: Side Story
Another flashback of Aria that Barbara had ____________ “He's really annoying. Who does he think I am?” Aria muttered to herself in disgust. The girl now lives in a city in Bangka Belitung, where everything is so annoying to her. She just came back from hunting wild boar then changed clothes, and went straight to the kitchen. While hunting earlier she almost ran into a wolf-shifter who almost knew who she was. Moreover, he dared to call Aria with a girl who was not human but smelled strange. It was all because of the secret seal she had placed on her body, a mystical seal, so that no one would find out whom she was. Aria has also been equipped with anti-enemy magic by a witch that she trusts, so that Hugo and his subordinates won't know about her. She was actually quite anxious when she heard about the news of another wolvire in the city of Koba, and she almost died wondering how two wolvires could have been bor
WOLVIRE AB4: This Man Really Like Wolvire
I don't know what happened to me, but vision after vision filled my brain, the more I felt I was them. I want to stop it all, but helpless. The thoughts of this girl named Nadira came to my head again. It had been ten years since the incident, but Nadira could still taste the rancid smell of white blood with the tip of her mind. Often times the girl closed her eyes and took a deep breath, so that at least the glint could be reduced. Nadira thought time would cloud the memory, but she seemed to have her hopes up. At the very least, she had managed to fool herself into thinking that what she was doing was the right thing. Or she thought so. Nadira looked away. The teenager stared at the distant forest through the window beside her, wondered how her mother (she refused to think of Maya as a stepmother) could become INDICENT's right hand man without the public knowing. Which then ended with a creese from… she forcibly stopped the memory. Nadira took a deep breath
WOLVIRE B28: Killer by Accident
[FLASHBACK] Nadira once committed a crime. Nadira was only seven years old at the time. One night, Nadira woke up to hear a noise downstairs. Nadira thought they were her parents, but she was surprised because her mother suddenly sounded screaming like someone who was scared. Her parents had never fought before, so little Nadira found it strange. Nadira, who was curious, finally walked out of the room, which she had left it dark so as not to be caught. Nadira closed the door carefully, and then quietly peeked through the grille of the stairs. Little Nadira then gave a soft breath. At that time she saw there were five people in black robes in the living room. They were holding some kind of blade. They surrounded her mother who was sitting terrified on a sofa. Nadira wanted to help, but she was too scared. Her heart wondered where her father and two brothers were. The little girl bit her lip, holding back s
WOLVIRE B27: Why are There so Many Wolvires?
FLASHBACK Rio Sanjaya ordered his dark horse to stop for a moment with a watchful gaze. The surrounding trees were violet under the bluish moonlight. After listening to something for a while, Rio stomped his horse back on his way without haste. Many times his eyes darted to the edge of the path he was passing. The movement in the thickets brought Rio to a halt again, his horse grunting and neighing softly. Rio drew the double-edged ax he threw onto his back. The handle of the object was rather long and silvery in color. Each blade bears a sign of a roaring tiger. “Whoever you are, come out,” Rio said his voice was firm yet still. Even so, a drop of sweat seemed to be dripping down his forehead. The scrub rustled again. There was a sound of broken branches and a few seconds later the bushes opened, revealing a large man in a black robe and a blue mask. Other figures with almost the same appearance began to appear one by
WOLVIRE B26: Hugo, Again
ARIA JONATHAN [FLASHBACK] The girl yawned. Who wouldn't get bored if you sat for hours in the car without meaningful activities, like sleeping, for example? She had thrown her phone and favorite fiction book in her bag, after nearly an hour of staring at it with a fading enthusiasm. She did not know why her ability to kill herself a.k.a sleeps anywhere and anytime suddenly decays. It was at times like this that irritation almost frustrated her; barely. How far did she have actually go to get to that damn boarding school? One year, maybe. This is really annoying! Aria glanced at the man in his forties who sat behind the wheel sarcastically. She was sure that Mr. Baga's butt was almost blistered. Aria herself has changed her sitting pose at least a million times. She wondered how an ordinary human could possibly sit that long. Aria feels in vain with herself as a wolvire. “Sir, you are human, are
