Chapter: Repair what is brokenThe large mahogany shelves of the library stood tall around her, silently observing her distress. Surrounded by the aroma of old paper and leather bindings, Gabrielle settled into a worn leather armchair and held her books in her lap. The soft, golden light filtered through the tall, arched windows, yet it provided little comfort to Gabrielle. The warmth only heightened the persistent guilt she felt, stemming from her earlier confrontation with Emma. Gabrielle had never been inclined to raise her voice or use harsh words that could cause pain to any one, not her many annoying cousins or any stranger she encounter. However, upon discovering Emma in that compromising situation with her boyfriend, unlocked something Gabriellehas never thought she had in her, well she has never walked in on any one making out before so maybe that was the reason for her outburst. The thought that what was meant to be a place of refuge had then transformed into a cosy corner the two lovers had almost blown

Chapter: Strange behaviorDamien Morgan leaned against the wall of the locker room, a towel draped around his neck, his post-practice adrenaline still surging through his veins. Soccer practice had just ended, but instead of the usual high of competition, he found himself staring into nothingness, his mind far away. The rhythmic clatter of lockers opening and closing and the camaraderie of his teammates faded into a dull backdrop, merely white noise to an overwhelming thought that had taken root in his mind, Gabrielle Park.How annoying it was. That fiery confrontation with the curly-haired girl replayed in his mind, over and over like a broken record, pulling him into her world. Her bright hazel eyes, vibrant with indignation, and that untamed mass of curls bouncing with every passionate word tugged at something inside him. It was strange, an odd sense of warmth filled him whenever he thought of her, and that warmth made him uneasy. This wasn’t how things were supposed to be for him.He shook his head, attemp

Each and every one of Gabrielle days felt like a whirlwind filled with laughter, whispers, and lesson, a blend of excitement and anxiety for the unknown.However, her thoughts always returned to him: the head boy, Tyler McClellan .

Just the thought of him left Gabrielle blushing and smiling like a mad person.Gabrielle had spent the whole week trying to piece together bits of gossip about Lukas, a task easier said than done. The other students seemed preoccupied with their own social dramas. She

Chapter: Judgemental much After a long day filled with excitement and discovery, Gabrielle entered her small but comfortable room. The walls were painted a gentle cream color and decorated with a few posters on Emma’s side that reflected her elegance and youth. In contrast, Gabrielle's pale, bare walls revealed the simplicity of her own personality. As she unpacked her school uniform and other necessities, Gabrielle realized Emma had not yet come back. Lost in thought, she pondered how vast the world was and how small she felt walking through those glamorous streets. Even inside her room, she sensed that she didn’t quite belong. “Will I make it through this?” she wondered, as the lively energy that had carried her through the day shifted to a quiet uncertainty while she folded her blazer and hung it neatly in the closet. Gabrielle took a long shower, letting the steam wrap around her like a warm hug. As the water washed away the stress from the day, memories of the first-year assembly flooded her mind,

Chapter: A taste of luxury As the first years departed the Grand Hall, Gabrielle felt a rush of energy pushing her forward. Amelia walked next to her, excitedly discussing all the clubs and activities they could join. With every step, they ventured deeper into the charming small town surrounding their prestigious school, a place filled with elegance and wealth that contrasted sharply with her humble background. "We're in for a treat today!" Amelia announced, pointing at a line of fancy shops along the cobblestone streets. "This is where you can find the best food and the cutest boutiques! Come on, let's check it out!" Gabrielle's heart raced with both excitement and nervousness. She had seen pictures of places like this before, but standing here among upmarket shops showcasing beautiful silk dresses and designer shoes felt...,unreal. "Look!" Amelia shouted, pulling on Gabrielle's arm. They stopped in front of a stylish store called 'Luxury & Lush.' Expensive handbags hung from silk hangers like drops

Chapter: Yearning for loveThe next day, the first-year students had to assemble in the school hall and wait for instructions about what they could and couldn't do when they left the school grounds. The headmaster stepped onto the stage, and the entire hall fell silent, you could hear a pin drop. He cleared his throat and looked around the hall with a serious expression. "Welcome, first-year students!" Headmaster Hawthorne's strong voice cut through the soft chatter, capturing everyone's attention right away. Gabrielle instinctively sat up straighter, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she focused on the podium at the front. "As some of you may already know, I am Mr. Forbes, the headmaster of this esteemed school." The Headmaster went on speaking, but Gabrielle's eyes drifted to Tyler McClellan, who stood beside him as the student body president. With his messy dark hair and striking blue eyes, he had an effortless charm that made people turn their heads and whisper. His confident p

Blood bound: The legacy of the blood king
A mountain, once a towering monument to man's ambition, now sobbed rust and decay. Its skeletal skyscrapers clawed at a sky choked with ash, an endless darkness that reflected the desolation below. Here, where survival was a brutal equation of scavenged scraps and desperate violence, whispers clung to the crumbling ruins like the ever-present dust. Whispers of a legend, a shadow lurking in the deepest, forgotten heart of the mountain: a monster.
They called him the Blood King, a name hissed with fear and reverence. Not just another vampire, but a predator whose power had once threatened to consume all of man-kind. He is said to be so great that no one was a match to his strength, his wrath so terrible, that the ancients themselves, the very inventors of their shadowed presence, had deemed him too dangerous to roam free. They imprisoned him, not in chains of iron, but in a cage of blood. A cage that could only be unlocked by the one whose essence was his destined key, his chosen one. A cruel contradiction, a punishment designed to bind him for eternity.
Unknown to them all that the blood king’s chosen one was a human adventurer, who lived for the thrill and would do anything for a fearful adventure.

Chapter: The crimson zoneThe rain fell in relentless sheets, muffling the city’s nocturnal hum beneath a gray curtain that hammered against Riana’s umbrella. The deep crimson fabric echoed the wine she longed for, but offered little comfort against the chill creeping into her bones—a chill that had nothing to do with the damp air outside.Through the rain-streaked windows of the opulent venue, the city lights blurred, mirrored by the sharp clarity of her solitude. Laughter and well-wishes from the evening still echoed in her ears, a haunting reminder of absence. Her youngest sister, Lisa, had glowed amid the festivities, hand in hand with her new husband, a radiant beacon of love and new beginnings.Riana had smiled, a practiced curve of her lips, but the joy hadn’t reached her eyes. Each question about her own future felt like a sharpened dart, aimed with well-meaning intent. When will it be your turn, Ria? When will you settle down?Once-close companions, her sisters had transformed into islands of their ow
