Thunder strikes as rain drizzles. A girl was on the ground, passed out. She felt a pat on her back and she slowly became conscious. She lifted her head and glanced around, searching for what patted her."Rise, it's about to launch. You don't want to skip the first part," A voice said."It's only unwrapped once in a century, don't forfeit such an opportunity," Another voice said.Alexandra couldn't see the people speaking, they were voices of girls, girls with similar voices to hers."I don't understand…" She tried to say. But was cut off."Look deep, not the physical but with your mind, and you'll see us,"Alexandra ignored the voices and tried to remember how she got there. The last thing she remembered was opening the Ginnak book of spells. And then… Nothing."Where is this place?" She asked subconsciously. The place was dark and void."This is the Ginnak Academy. A place you'll find all the Ginnak's ever existed and yet to exist. And you're the last Ginnak, hopefully,"It was frust
The ride wasn't as smooth as Anne had reckoned it would be, not when a strange man kept glancing her way. That gave her the creeps. But thankfully, her mind wandered back to her father. Her heart bleeds for the pain he might be going through.As they trotted past a little inn, the carriage suddenly came to a halt, causing her to haul from her position unto the man before her. And he quickly held her tight with his hands to steady her.That was embarrassing."I'm sorry, Young Miss. I discovered the inn quite late, and I thought he should stay here tonight. Any further from here signifies he's coming with us,"Anne had completely forgotten she had to drop the man somewhere. "Yeah right, I almost forgot,"The coachman gave a small bag of coins to the man, he knew it would be more than enough for a week's stay at the inn."Wait," The man blurted before the carriage could move. He glanced at Anne and asked. "What's your name,""Anne," She replied right away."I'm Dominus, thanks." After he
They arrived back at the inn, her father had given in to her. But with a condition that, she lingers inside the carriage.That would be hard to obey, although she said yes.She gawked as her father and other men penetrated the inn, she doubted if the animal was there.After a few minutes that seemed like hours, she became restless. She knew the coachman was there to keep watch on her. And she knows just how to do the trick.She slid down the carriage and walked over to the coachman, she made sure to clutch her stomach as she stepped towards him."I need to pee," Saying this, she ran into a secluded place. She knew he wouldn't follow her, some rules just fell in her favor.She hid as she stepped to the back of the inn, she just wished to see her father. To make sure he was alright.As she get closer to them unknowingly, she heard them say,"This isn't done by an animal. An animal can't erase its footprints, and an animal will thrust its claws in other parts of the body and not just the
Dominus silently gazed at the burning fire he made. He shortly heard movement behind him."You know," The voice said, pausing his speech as he walked forward. "Father had great expectations from you, but all you wanted was to do good." Finally, he walked out of the shadow and stood in front of Dominus. "Nothing is good about us, Dom, we are evil, born evil,"It was Dominus's younger brother, Vamurus."What do you want, Vamurus?" Dominus implored with a bored tone. He wasn't ready for his bullshit now. Something had been on his mind. A girl."I'm here to give you a chance to come home, Father might be angry at you, but he'll listen to me, his future heir," Vamurus said with a cocky tone.Dominus raised his eyebrows lazily, "I thought you pushed me here, what? Feeling guilty already?""You could have stopped yourself from coming here If you wanted to, Dominus. But you just allowed it."Dominus shrugged and took a burning stick from the fire and placed his thumb and forefinger on the red
He peered at her as her eyes unhurriedly opened. He noticed as she adapted to her surroundings before looking around, inspecting to know where she was. And upon seeing him, he knew she immediately recollected."I-" But Dominus cut her off."How's your head?" He inquired gently. He glimpsed a little graze on her head. It's as if she was hit there. And the bruise appeared new."Fine, thank you," She nudged herself to a crouching level. "Hmmm, how long have I been here?" Her voice was as lightweight as a feather. It was so soft in his ears."Half a day or so," Dominus replied. "Before you conclude to go home, tell me what happened first, I think I deserve to know for saving you,"He noticed how silent she became. "I don't- I-... The southern tribes visited my Father, everybody loathed that tribe, my father the most, but suddenly he wants me to get married to the ruler of the tribe, an old man." She hesitated and took in deep breaths. "I kind of overheard them discussing the marriage, bef
It happened so fast that he could merely heed Anne's sobs. Everything else was blurry to him. He blinked his eyes and scanned his bloody hands and the bunch of dead bodies on the ground. He noticed a heart on his hand, and Anne's Father had a gap in his chest.What happened?Did he- he didn't. He wasn't that insane to wipe everybody out when he came here to rescue a girl."I- I didn't…" He tried to say to Anne, but her teary eyes struck him in the chest.They heard loud footsteps. Dominus stole a glance through the window and noticed the battalion of people with swords walking into the Mansion.They needed to leave, not for his sake but Anne's."We need to leave," He hastily said to Anne. He would drag her out if she doesn't want to follow him.Anne didn't respond."P-please,"Anne slowly raised her gaze from her father to Dominus. "I believe you," She said."Ugh?""You- you weren't the one that killed them, it was a man with a striking resemblance to you."Dominus thought he was the
"Does the name Anne Wilson ring any bells?" Dominus asked.He was the only one with a dragon from where he had come from, his mother had given it to him alongside her powers."I'm afraid it doesn't," The dragon replied politely. "Is something troubling you?" The dragon inquired. The dragon slowly transformed into a man in his mid-thirties."The girl is strange. At first, she saw my other self slaying a bunch of people, and now she noticed the black gene vapor. What is she?"The man sighed before replying. "There's something you should know before I answer that question, it's about your mother. She told me to keep this a secret, she didn't want you in the same mess she found herself in."Dominus shifted from his position. "What's that?""Your mother was a human. Once in a century, a strange woman falls from the sky, many thought they were evil as no one had gone up there before, so they were killed before those strange women could gather the power to stop them." The man paused. He gest
She had guessed he was talking about Dominus. She mentally palmed her forehead. She had just forgotten Vamurus was also his son.It's not as if she wished to marry Dominus, but he came off better than the men she had encountered."I don't think I can help you with that, Mister," She declared politely.The man shifted forth on his chair, "Oh, you can, pretty lady. It's actually quite simple. Just come with Vamurus on the day of the wedding, and the rest would be taken care of,"The way he was gazing at her made her feel nervous. She tossed slowly from her bed. "I need to use the bathroom, please excuse me." She walked at a slow pace so as not to appear suspicious and passed the door. She just hoped he didn't realize the room had a bathroom.She ran quietly as she left his sight, and climbed down the stairs with haste.The entrance door came into view and she exited it.Everywhere was dark, but that was better. She didn't need him to spot her easily. He's an old man, he can't possibly w
90He looked up from downstairs and wondered if Anne was asleep. He climbed it slowly with hesitation, he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.The stairs appeared longer than usual. His heart, something didn't believe existed, began to race. He was nervous for no reason.As he reached the edge of the stairs, Anne's room entered his view before his room which after before her room. He strides to her door and knocks on it slightly.On the first knock the door opened. He couldn't believe she was actually waiting for him to come to her room.He slipped into the room, the lit candles were glowing. He glanced at the wall clock and it was a few minutes past nine."I thought you were asleep," Dominus said as he strolled to her, "How's your wound?" He noticed she hauled her arms freely.A beaming smile appeared on her face. "It healed. The pain was severe at first, but after the plant you dipped, the pain began lessening. And now, there's no pain."Dominus wasn't believing this. He moved clos
"I– I don't know what you're talking about,""I can't imagine I'm getting fortuitous by the second." He remarked and snickered.Before Marleen realized it, he grabbed her by the neck and she instantly fell into unconsciousness._________"Mar–leen?" Ava's worried voice exclaimed for Marleen when she saw him on the doppelganger's shoulder."Relax, bestie, she's fine," Dominic said as he lowered Marleen close to a shackled Ava."Why is she here?" She asked. Marleen was still unconscious."How many people know about the Ancients?""Many. Although they don't believe in it since they haven't seen one before. Why?""Just attempting the know the numbers I'm roughly to kill,""Don't! They're innocent, they know nothing.""This girl here didn't seem like that to me. She's different, do you know that?" He asked as he waddled past Ava.He picked a chain and bound Marleen's hands with it. After that, he strides toward a chair and sits on it."I can't believe father let different species run the e
Her mother shuddered a little, her lips were shaking. "I…I did what I was told to, I made sure to wipe everything. I don't know how she remembered.""That only signified you weren't doing your job. Rather than concentrating on the child, you were busy whoring around." His voice wielded irritation, he then stepped slowly towards her mother.Before she knew it, the man grabbed her mother by the neck and mashed her unto a tree. Little Ava saw blood crawling down her mother's neck."W–what are you doing to mother?" Ava questioned the man, who was her supposed grandpa.Alexandra didn't know what was transpiring. She had been in Robert's room, aiding him.Subsequently, she departed his cabin the following day to get water, she spotted Dominic, he was formally clothed. So also Thomas.She ambled toward them and scrutinized them, then she noted they have luggage with them.Were they traveling?"Are you guys going somewhere?" She implored. Her orifices were drifting between the two.Dominic di
Dracule glared at him, "You think I haven't thought of that with your mother? I went insane when she died, it killed me inside. It didn't matter if she was with another man, I just wanted her alive and well.""I won't allow myself to see her with another man, I don't care if she's happy with him, I'd much rather kill her myself. I'm selfish, and I'm not hiding it."As they both stared into the warm night with silence, Dominus wondered what he would do to keep Anne by his side. Nobody owns the power to do that, but his mother was able to preserve souls.Would that work?His mother's book was with him, a very important book. He needed to check if it held any spell to stop a dying person from death.He excused himself from Dracule's house and went to an underground cave. Nobody knows of this, making it the best place to hide the book.He took the book out and glanced at the name on the book cover.'Formation of the Ginnak.'Alexandra felt on edge as she stood in front of the Priest with
"She isn't who you're looking for, she's unknown." He paused for a moment, "She's powerful but that's unknown to her, her nativity and innocence will lead us to our greatest desire." He took a sip from his cup and his eyes switched from brown to dark shades of red." What about Karina?""After we reach our goal she's of no use anymore, there's no use in keeping her with us.""His disappearance was untraceable. It seemed he was helping a larger system," Simon announced. He strode nearer to Dominic and resumed, "All the souls he gathered for Mrs. Hamish were duplicates, unknown to her." He paused his speech, "Hunting him might guide us to our goal, don't you think?"Dominic waited. He thought for an instant, "I think it's time to stop by an old friend." He said, and Simon turned his head. It was dark, so Dominic took a cloak and stepped out of the room.___"The officials aren't performing their duties? What's the use of keeping them?!" An irritated voice yelled. The shivering young man
"Michael? I've heard that name multiple times, probably from sweet Gretel." Robert said with a cocky smile. His wrinkled face made him look scary.Micheal's face darkened while Forsyth chuckled. "I like you already," Forsyth proclaimed hearing the connotation in his sentence."But I don't," Robert told Forsyth."Touché."They turned as they heard running footsteps, Mildred seemed to be running towards them."What's it? Where's Alexandra?" Forsyth asked."She-""Ladies and gentlemen," A man said, interrupting Mildred's words, his voice was loud, "It's time for the main event to begin." Everybody began moving with glasses of wine between their fingers.From the corner of their eyes, they saw Alexandra running while the man, Dominus, was walking slowly behind her as if toying with her.His prey.Grunts were heard as a man tossed restlessly on a mattress. His eyes opened abruptly only to jerk back when he noticed someone on the bed."Graciela?" The man asked with a sleepy tone. He couldn'
Reddish-gold eyes tilted his head and glanced at Dominus. "I wasn't asking for a fucking permission."Dominus sighed. "You and your foul mouth.""But the ladies love it." He grinned."You've only ever seen one lady until now." Dominus taunted. But the reddish-gold eyes only shrugged."That's why she's mine to kill.""You can't kill her,""Oh, I created her. So yes I can.""Why?"Silence filled the space between them."Don't you think it's time for you to go?""No. I'm doing what you told me to. To protect the Ginnak.""You wouldn't want to defy me, Green eyes.""I'm sorry." Dominus bowed his head at him and disappeared.Reddish-gold eyes Dominus fisted his fingers as annoyance lingered in his eyes.He needs to get the Ginnak before his mother gets her. Having to fight his clone and mother sounded exhausting and he was the lazy type.But her minors were everywhere in the Mansion. He was suddenly grateful she was injured. It would be a lot harder if she was fine.Now he needs to use the
"N-Nothing-g..." Her voice trembles from fear. The girl before her was all blue, icy blue like how Leah's face had been, but the difference was that Leah was unconscious while the girl before her wasn't."Alexandra..." Her name came out as a soft echo from her mouth, it wasn't supposed to sound scary but it did."Y-you know me?" Alexandra pointed at herself with her slightly trembling forefinger, partly from the cold."Who wouldn't?" The hostility in her voice made Alexandra gulp."But I don't know you...""Of course, you wouldn't," The girl cuts her off, "People like us are peasants compared to you." The girl said and slowly moved towards her, to which Alexandra responded by moving backward, slowly."You are the reason many of us have to suffer!" Alexandra knew the girl was becoming angrier since the cold in the room began intensifying. Before she realized it, the girl forced her hand towards her, and her heart ceased beating for a second."Stop Right There,"5"---h it does look like
She dabbed her hands dry and ambled to the basement. It was slightly dark but manageable. As she picked up the pans and spun to depart, an agony moan halted her. It was coming from the side of the basement. She strolled nearer to the noise and came upon Alexandra. She lay on the ground folded. Her hand was tight around her head, she appeared to be in distress."Alexandra," She carefully hoisted her, "What's wrong?" She didn't need to know what was wrong because her eyes said it all. But the red glint in her eyes changed back to normal. Her pained expression changed like she was never in pain."I'm fine," Lexi said and rubbed her body. "Excuse me." She was behaving skeptically. But Mildred shrugged it off. She already knew what was wrong. She just hope things remained how there were after tomorrow.___________At the Temple of priests.Dominus closed his eyes as he rested his back on the side of a tree. The leaves were moving in different trends. Despite his calm expression, he was con
