All Chapters of Lockers Orphanage: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

[Nowo's POV] Believing that everything happens for a reason becomes a formidable challenge in my current situation. This saying, often a source of solace, refuses to apply to the intricate web of emotions entangling me, especially when confronted with the forbidden nature of the profound feelings shared between Moha and me, who, to my astonishment, turns out to be my sibling. The revelation has rendered our connection more complicated and forbidden than ever, casting a shadow over the emotions we once embraced freely. After he gently clasped my wrist, he guided me to a secluded spot, not far enough from the chaos that surrounds us. The ensuing silence hung heavily between us until he found the words he needed to express. "I wanted to clear things out. I'm certain about my confession; I truly mean every word I told you back then in the hunters' mountain. Even if our identities are laid bare, nothing has changed. I still love you," he confessed, laying bare the vulnerability beneath h

[Nowo's POV]As the competition unfolds, the thunderous rhythm of my heartbeat becomes unmistakably clear. Describing my current predicament feels like being a prey surrounded by fierce predators, their eyes ablaze with an insatiable hunger to devour me. Their intense gazes leave me anticipating their every move.I'm aware they weren't instructed to engage me simultaneously, but these words spill out of my mouth almost involuntarily. My other self begins to emerge without my consent, and I sense the looming danger if I allow it to take over."Lend me your ears before we commence," I assertively address both Arphen and Alasdair."What's on your mind?" Arphen inquires.The headmaster raises both eyebrows, signaling for me to proceed. "Speak, Nowo. We're all ears.""May I challenge all of them at once?" I boldly ask.Acknowledging it might be my riskiest decision, I yearn to gauge my current strength. Like the headmaster, I crave an understanding of my newfound skills, abilities, and ove

[Helios's POV] Having that kind of strong urge to fight was never in my vocabulary. I never wanted to be like anyone who has a deep hunger for power and authority. All I wanted was to stay responsible and focus on our mission, which is the reason why we are sent here in this land. That's the only goal I had in mind, not until I met this wonderful woman that I like. I'm not sure what kind of arrow the God of love pierced through my chest that made me deeply fall in love with Nowo. Another goal was set in my mind, and that is to defeat Moha and fulfill Nowo's dream, which is to become the head of us. I don't want them to end up fighting with each other because I will never know what I can do the moment I see him hurting her, even if it's not on purpose. "I feel something strange about you, Helios," Cordelia uttered while smiling at me. "I can also feel that it would be interesting to watch." She added. "I don't have any idea what you are saying," I responded to her with a blank expre

[Lane's POV]"Stop moving, insect," someone uttered to me. It didn't sound like the witch's voice, so maybe it was her guardian.Being called an insect shocked me. Internally, my inner self retorted, "Woah, look who's talking? You're just a creature made of scrap parts from some weird animals, and that's more embarrassing."Thankfully, my mouth refrained from uttering those words. Instead, I restrained myself from saying anything offensive. I decided to insult her the way she insulted me because that's what she deserved.Continuing to shake my body made her speak again, "Stop, or else your tiny body will be flattened."What could I do? How could I stop? This tight place smelled disgusting. I loathed being trapped in a small space, feeling like I was suffocating and getting squeezed. Despite the discomfort, I pondered ways to free myself. Who would want to stay here? I couldn't endure it any longer, and in addition to that, I needed to expose this witch's bad side. I had to let everyon

[Nowo's POV]I'm kind of having this thought that I am slowly falling into the griffin's trap. Simply because every word that she spills makes sense. I shouldn't be the one they're against. I was actually trying to save all of them from the real culprit. But why are they aiming their weapons at me? Even the leaders didn't say anything about it, not making a move to stop them. As if they all wanted to fight and hurt me from the very beginning.This is really painful. I can feel how my sadness turns into madness as well. Like the real me is now beginning to fade."Nowo." I heard someone call me. "Lane?" I responded.I was so mad at that moment that I almost forgot about the only creature who understands me well, like how well I understand my own self. I flashed a smile on my face but I can feel the tears falling down to my chin."I'm so sorry." I uttered while sobbing. "I'm really sorry that I failed you. That I failed everyone.""Dear, you never failed me. You were so brave and kind-he
