I didn't wait to hear the final bell ring. The moment the teacher closed her book, I was out of my seat, my books already in my backpack. I had earlier told Dad and Mom not to bother picking me up. Not because I was embarrassed of them, but because I wanted to take in the glory of the weird town again, and most especially, I wanted to watch the translucent girl closely. Raven Hollow High School was just as strange as the town that housed it_quiet, eerie, and filled with eyes that lingered a little too long. But none of these strange things stuck to me the way the strange breathtaking girl did. The girl with the snow white skin, and long gray hair, you'd think it wasn't real. True, that she hadn't said a word to me, or even spared me a glance... but her presence was suffocating. Cold. Ethereal. Distant. Like she belonged to another time, another world entirely. She was the kind of character you'd see in horror movies. Her porcelain skin made me remember the vampires from the

Back at Texas, I usually slept till 7:30 a.m before waking to prepare for school, but here, it wasn't the same. I've never dreaded a Monday like I dreaded this one, all my life. My alarm buzzed at 6:30, ruining my half decent dream about waffles, and my Texan besties. I slapped it off, shutting my eyes tightly so I could go back to the dreams. Mom shouted something from down the hallway. I groaned into my pillow, and sat up on the tiny bed. I hated it here. Everything was different. The strange ceiling above me. It wasn't the ceiling I used to wake up to. The room looked strange, and I wished it would disappear in a blink of my eyes. I stared at the wall, and I hated it more. Instead of the posters of my favorite band, it was a bare wood with a water stain in the shape of something vaguely resembling a skull. I groaned loudly and fell on the bed, kicking my legs into the air with frustration. This house felt more like a haunted bed-and-breakfast, than a home. It was cold, quiet, cre

MARY'S POV I used to believe that I had it all figured out. I loved Texas. It was loud, bright, and bold; just like me. There were fast cars, loud music, and bonfires that lasted until dawn. And then, there was my friends that had become more like a family. Life at Texas was just perfect for me. I knew who I was in that world, and I had a wonderful set of routine. My school, where I was even the cheerleader for our basketball team. Movie marathon nights with my clique, a lot of sleepovers, and summer parties at my favorite beach house. I had everything I could ever want. Until the accident happened. It wasn't just any regular kind of accident, or the type seen in Hollywood movies. It was a horror-filled accident that had cracked something in my parents. We were out on a sunday like every other family. We visited the park, rode in the rollercoasters, and saw a movie. It was the perfect family time for a perfect family. With music playing aloud from the car radio, we danced to th

They called it the Raven Hollow Town.Even the name tasted like ash and shadow when spoken aloud. It was a town, old with time, and hidden in the deep Northern reaches. These town nestled between jagged mountains, and dense ancient woods that whispered of things unseen.Unlike other cities, Raven Hollow wasn't a place people readily moved in to. The townfolk of this dark city were rumored to be cursed. They never asked too many questions, never stayed out late, and they never stray too far from the streets once dusk has kissed the sky.This routine wasn't a thing of choice. It was an unspoken rule that they had to adhere to, for their own safety.There was something in the air; an unspoken fear that clung to the mist, and threaded through every whispered warning."Keep your doors locked at night." They said."Do not open your doors to anyone after midnight.""Stay indoors after dark.""Never stray into the woods..."And the loudest warning of them all was;"Do not trust any friendly

Fire swept through the battlefield like a violent wind, burning and destroying everything in its wake.The ground cracked beneath Lucas's feet as black flames tore through everything around him. Creatures that had survived days of battle were consumed in seconds. Trees turned to ash. Stones melted beneath the unbearable heat. The very air seemed to scream.Lucas was no longer in control of himself.The black flame he had obtained from Leviathan had fully consumed him now.For years, Lucas had fought to keep that darkness asleep. He had feared what would happen if he ever allowed it to take complete control. He had learned to master his anger, to restrain his instincts, to keep the darkness buried beneath layers of control.But now there was nothing left to restrain it.The black flame had found its way into every part of him.It had consumed the very soul he wanted to protect.Why would Aria go to sacrifice herself?Why must she die for him to live?Why must she die for humanity to be

With her decision made, Aria turned away from Selene and followed the narrow path that led toward the sacrifice site.She didn't look back.She couldn't.If she looked at Selene, she might lose the courage she had gathered.If she looked toward the battlefield, she might run back to Lucas.And if she went back to Lucas, everything would be ruined.One part of her screamed that she should find him immediately.She should tell him what Selene had told her. She should tell him that there was a way to end the war. She should tell him that she could save everyone.But she knew Lucas.He would never allow it.He would tear the battlefield apart before allowing her to die for him.He would rather die himself.That was exactly why she had begged Selene to keep this from him.Levi and Incubus were still inside the tent, unaware that she had left. They believed Aria was with Selene, and Selene's barrier had hidden her presence completely.For a few precious minutes, no one would know.That was

Aria followed Selene out of the tent.The moment they stepped beyond the protective barrier surrounding the camp, Aria noticed something was wrong.Selene wasn't herself.The goddess walked ahead of her in silence, her shoulders unusually tense and her hands clasped behind her back. She didn't look toward Aria even once.Aria frowned.She had known Selene long enough to understand that silence from her was never ordinary.The woman was usually impossible to ignore.She was sassy.Bossy.Intimidating.Sometimes downright cruel.Selene could insult someone with nothing more than a look, and somehow make even the most powerful creatures feel small.But this Selene...This was different.There was no sarcasm in her expression.No arrogance.No cold amusement.She looked troubled.Almost afraid.Aria's heart began beating faster.“What's going on, Selene?”Selene stopped.Aria swallowed.“Did something happen to Lucas?”Fear immediately crept into her chest.Selene turned around.“Lucas is

The battle had become a nightmare.Heaven and Hell had united once again.Not because they had forgiven one another.Not because the ancient hatred between them had disappeared.Not because angels suddenly trusted demons, or demons had forgotten every war they had fought against Heaven.They had simply run out of reasons to hate each other.There would be no Heaven to rule.No Hell to conquer.No gods to worship.No demons to torment.No humans to protect.Nothing.If The Forgotten won, there would be nothing left for anyone to fight over.So, just like they did ages ago, Heaven and Hell stood on the same side.And the world burned around them.Chants rolled from the mouths of witches as hundreds of them stood in circles across the battlefield, their hands raised toward the sky.Ancient words poured from their lips.The air trembled with every syllable.Some witches collapsed from exhaustion.Others continued chanting even while blood streamed from their noses.A few had already lost

Velkris stared at Selene.For a moment, he couldn't even understand what she had just asked of him.Then he slowly backed away.One step.Then another.His expression had gone completely blank, as though his mind had rejected the words before his heart could even begin to process them.“Velkris…”Selene whispered his name.He shook his head.“No.”Another step backward.Selene's hands fell slowly to her sides.“Velkris, please…”“No.”His voice cracked.He turned his face away from her, dragging a trembling hand through his hair.“How could you ask this of me?”Selene swallowed.“Why?”He looked at her again.His eyes were already beginning to redden.“Why would you ask me to do something like that?”“Velkris…”“No, Selene.”His voice grew louder.“There has to be another way.”“There isn't.”“There always is!”“There isn't!” Selene cried.Her voice echoed through the trees.She immediately lowered her head, trying to regain control of herself.But Velkris could see the desperation in

“Selene!!!”The sound of her name tore through the silence.Selene froze.For one brief moment, she simply stood there, her eyes narrowing as the familiar voice echoed through her mind.She knew that voice.She had spent centuries wishing she could forget it.Eryndor.The god she had bargained with.The god to whom she had given her soul.Her fingers slowly curled into fists.“No…”The word barely escaped her lips.She had known this day would come. She had always known.The bargain had been simple.Her soul in exchange for her life.And in return, whenever Eryndor called upon her, she would answer.There had been no loophole.No escape clause.No promise that he would only call when he needed something important.He could summon her whenever he wished.And she had to come.The darkness suddenly swallowed everything.Selene gasped.One second, she was standing in the physical realm.The next, there was nothing.No trees.No sky.No wind.No sound.Not even the ground beneath her feet.
