All Chapters of Incognito : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

From my new hiding spot, I peered through the slats of the closet door. The teacher was now rifling through some papers on the lounge table, completely unaware of my presence. But they were too close to the door. If they left, they’d have to walk right past me.I bit my lip, glancing around the cramped closet. There was a small gap under the window on the other side of the room, barely big enough to crawl through if I was careful. It was my only way out.I took a deep breath and waited. The teacher lingered for what felt like an eternity, flipping through documents, muttering something to themselves. My legs ached from crouching so long, but I didn’t dare move.Finally, the teacher let out a sigh and stood, walking toward the door. My pulse quickened. I couldn’t be seen leaving, not now, not after coming so close. As the door clicked shut behind them, I wasted no time. I crawled out of the closet and dashed toward the window. With shaky hands, I pried it open just enough to squeeze t

** ** **The soft glow of morning light filtered through the curtains, painting the room in warm, golden hues. The air felt crisp, carrying the faint scent of dew and freshly turned earth. Birds chirped outside, their songs blending with the distant rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze. The sky, tinged with shades of pink and orange, seemed to stretch endlessly, as the sun slowly climbed above the horizon. The peacefulness of the early hour filled the space, quiet and serene, as the world around me gradually stirred to life. For a moment, everything felt still, wrapped in the delicate calm of the new day.I stood up, still thinking about what dad said yesterday. I had to figure out what’s going on in Riverdale high without giving myself away.Shit, I’ve already told my friends that I still remember everything that happened the other day at Lydia’s. They’ll now know for sure that I still remember. I know I can trust them though. They’re definitely not working with whoever is behin

The room was a wreck. Furniture smashed, papers scattered everywhere. But more importantly, every single one of the ten men who had attacked me was on the floor, unconscious. And standing in the middle of the room, catching his breath, was someone I never expected to see. Dad. He stood there, calm and composed, barely even winded. Slowly, he pulled off the mask covering his face, and I stared at him in shock. His eyes met mine, intense but calm. “Damien,” he said quietly, like this was all just another day. “What the hell are you doing here?” I couldn’t speak. I could barely think. My dad—my dad—had just taken out ten supernatural guys like it was nothing. I had no idea how or why, and I was left with nothing but questions. I knew all the years that he had his powers for would’ve made him powerful but I never expected him to be this clinical. “I’m sorry dad. I-I wanted to get hostages. A person I could question so that I could get answers about what was going on.” My dad sig

Damien smirked, leaning back in his chair as if accepting her challenge. “I’m into obscure mythology and folklore. You know, stuff most people wouldn’t bother reading about.”“Really?” Matilda’s eyes lit up, feeling a connection immediately. “That’s so cool! I love mythology, too. It’s like looking into a world we’ll never really understand, but it’s so fascinating to try.”Damien looked surprised for a moment, then laughed softly, his demeanor relaxing. “I don’t meet a lot of people who think like that.”“Well,” Matilda said, standing directly across from him without really thinking about it, “you just did.”For the first time, Damien’s smile seemed genuine, his eyes softening as he looked at her. “Guess I did.”The librarian hushed them making them both chuckle a bit realizing that they were talking out loud in a place that was supposed to be quiet. Damien doesn’t come to the library often, he was only there because he was trying to get clues about what other creatures could be at p

Lupa reached Verdant with Clary and Damien and Mrs. Tara Wolf was already at the gate waiting for them. The moment she saw Clary and Damien, she grabbed them both and enclosed them in a deep hug.“Grandma, I’m finding it hard to breathe.”“Oh sorry. I keep forgetting that I have super strength.” Tara apologized. “Come on let me take you my house and help you get settled in.”Tara and the kids got into her car while Lupa remained outside.“Are you not coming?” Tara asked Lupa. “Nope. I just got a month off. I’m going to do anything other than watch these kids.” Lupa said. “They’re your problem now.”“Don’t worry I understand.” Tara laughed. “I was always looking for spaces to get away from Claud when he was younger too. He was a handful. Enjoy your month off from your parenting duties. I’ll take care of the little ones.”“Little ‘ONE’.” Damien corrected. “I’m a man now.” As he said that Tara and Lupa burst into loud, annoying laughter. “Whatever you say sport.” Lupa said as she ente
