Chapter: Humiliated in front of Tyler"I am taking this cheater to the Headmaster's office," Evelyn had said, and everyone was watching the ‘show’ with excitement that made Gabrielle feel like a deer caught in headlights. She just wished she could vanish into thin air. All eyes were on her, each student’s gaze feeling like a spotlight as they locked their gazes onto her. She internally cursed Evelyn for putting her in this position, for thrusting her into a drama that made her skin crawl. Somewhere in the chaos, Gabrielle’s eyes flickered toward Tyler, who was gazing at her with surprise. His expression was unreadable, yet there was something warm in his eyes that made Gabrielle’s heart race for an entirely different reason. It was as if, for a moment, the noise faded away, and the realization hit her that he was looking straight at her, acknowledging her in a way that made her feel… seen.Then, for some messed up reason, her eyes locked with those of Damien Morgan. She thought she would have caught the usual sultry yet

Chapter: Evelyn’s resultsAfter a few months of Green Valley’s school term, the end-of-term exams were approaching in a week, and the school halls had been unusually quiet these past few days. Gabrielle had been feeling the pressure the most; she was in the overly pricey school just because she was on a scholarship that paid all her tuition and even gave her a living allowance. The term of the scholarship was that she had to maintain her grades and not get anything below 85% in any of her subjects. 85% did not seem like an unreasonable achievement for Gabrielle, but that was before she met Evelyn, one of her classmates. This girl had a very competitive edge. The results for the first term test were released three days after, and Gabrielle was the top of her class; Evelyn was second. On the third, Evelyn was first, while Gabrielle was second. For several occasions, Evelyn did better than Gabrielle, except for Maths and Physics, where Gabrielle outshone Evelyn in these two subjects. After two whole weeks of

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

Chapter: Different worlds collidedA week had passed since Gabrielle stepped through the gates of Green valley academy. She was slowly but surely adjusting to her new setting, she has fallen into a routine , walking up early every morning doing some studying before her alarm rang for her to get ready for school, after classes she would eat then go back the library to study until late at night. 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 . His blond hair caught the sunlight in a way that felt unreal, and when he smiled, those electric blue eyes shimmered like sapphire gems. 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,

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: A visitor at nightThe pain medication administered by Dr. Harrington had dulled the sharp edges of Riana’s aches, but it did little to soothe the deeper tremors of her unease. Out in the forest, where the thick canopy filtered the sunlight into shadowy patches on the ground, she had felt invincible. Under the open sky, she had been an adventurer, a thrill-seeker, a being who danced with danger. But now, as the night encroached upon her in the unfamiliar confines of the small inn room, a veil of darkness seemed to pull her under, shrouding her in memories that tore at her mind.Sleep came in fitful waves, each descent into unconsciousness a brief reprieve before the haunting imagery pulled her back to a state of anxious awareness. The rhythmic tick of an antique grandfather clock in the hallway sounded a steady march of time, almost like a heartbeat, but it felt both comforting and unnerving. What should have been ordinary now felt fragile, as if the world outside might crumble at any moment, tearing he

Chapter: Saved at lastRiana’s gaze lingered on the receding forms of the fleeing men, a knot of grim satisfaction and lingering tension tightening in her chest. The encounter had been swift, brutal, and necessary. Now, however, the silence of the woods felt heavier, imbued with the knowledge of potential threats both human and… other. With a decisive breath, she turned her attention to the unconscious form of the wiry man, the one whose jaw had met her heel. There was a practicality to survival, a cold efficiency that her training had instilled. He wouldn’t be needing his belongings anytime soon, and she desperately needed any advantage she could find.Moving with a quiet purpose, she knelt beside him, her senses still on high alert, scanning the surrounding trees for any sign of movement. Her fingers deftly went through his pockets, finding a crumpled packet of cheap cigarettes, a few coins, and a worn leather wallet. Inside the wallet, amidst a collection of faded photographs and a couple of small denomi

Chapter: An unexpected rescueThe gritty texture of the dried beef snagged uncomfortably in Riana's dry throat. Each deliberate chew was a small victory against her gnawing hunger, a primal response to the sophisticated terror still clawing at her mind. The image of those crimson eyes, impossibly ancient and disturbingly aware, flickered behind her eyelids, a ghostly imprint on her vision. The surrounding woodland, once a welcome sanctuary, now felt like a cage of silent observers. Every rustle of unseen leaves, every snap of a distant twig, amplified her already frayed nerves. She needed to reach civilization and find the reassuring comfort of Silas's voice, but the memory of the tomb, the palpable wrongness of it lingered like a toxic residue. Her lost phone was a stark reminder of her vulnerability, each passing minute deepening her isolation.Just as she swallowed the last morsel of jerky, a distinct snap echoed nearby, closer this time, sharp and unmistakably deliberate. Riana’s hand instinctively tightened a

Chapter: Destinies yet to unfoldRiana’s breath caught in her throat. Should she dare to call out? Should she approach? A part of her wanted to back away slowly, to preserve the fragile distance between them, yet another part…a daring, reckless part, urged her forward. An unspeakable yearning filled her, and before she truly understood her own motives, she found herself standing. The world around her seemed to fade into an indistinct blur as she stepped into the unknown, heart pounding in her ears. “Who are you?” she called out, her voice breaking the spell of stillness hanging in the air. The words echoed faintly, as if the forest itself held its breath in anticipation of the answer. The figure paused, its gaze unwavering. Riana winced slightly at the intensity of those eyes, feeling an inexplicable connection, a tugging at something deep within her.For a moment that felt like eternity, the creature studied her, as if weighing the depth of her question against the weight of a thousand secrets. Then, in a voice tha

Chapter: In deep distress Riana’s lungs burned with each ragged gasp, a painful counterpoint to the frantic pounding of her heart. Every muscle in her legs screamed in protest, but the image of those crimson eyes, burning with an ancient, unsettling light, spurred her onward. She scrambled down the treacherous mountain path, loose stones skittering beneath her worn hiking boots, each step a desperate flight from the horror she had witnessed in that suffocating tomb. It wasn’t real. It couldn’t have been real. The mantra echoed in her mind, a fragile shield against the terror that threatened to consume her. Corpses don’t open their eyes. Centuries-old bodies don’t just… wake up. Maybe the dim light had played tricks on her. Maybe it was just the shock of seeing a perfectly preserved… body. Yes, that was it. A perfectly preserved body, perhaps buried with its eyes open, a dreadful abnormality of ancient burial rituals. But the questions clawed at the edges of her denial. Who could have eyes like that? Eyes t

Chapter: A primal hungerIn a cave far, far away from civilization, the most exquisite aroma imaginable, sweeter than the richest honey, more delicate than a thousand blooming roses… tickled Acheron’s dormant senses, dragging him from the abyss of a thousand-year slumber. His eyelids, heavy as lead, fluttered open, his vision blurring as it adjusted to the dim light. And then he saw her. Standing at the edge of his stone prison, bathed in the ethereal glow of the cave’s hidden luminescence, was a vision that stole the breath he hadn’t drawn in centuries. Her face, framed by strands of wild, windswept hair, held an innocent beauty that pierced through the hardened shell of his ancient heart. Her eyes, wide and luminous, were fixed on him, reflecting a mixture of fear and captivating curiosity. After fifteen centuries of cold, silent confinement, the first sight to greet his awakened gaze was this breathtaking creature.A primal hunger, a gnawing emptiness that had been a constant companion during his imprisonm
