GALINA POVTHE REST OF THE week passed in a blur and before I knew it, we were beginning a new week. And it was in this week where the lectures were going to commence and to be frank; I was really looking forward to it all! I didn’t know what was in store for us since this place was very mysterious, but I was ready to explore.Monday came and we all piled up into the classroom. Like previously, Egor who had become my closest friend pulled me to the backbench where we sat and ate a few snacks that were kept under the desk. We chatted softly and the teacher walked in. She was a lady who was approximately in her middle 30s, a neat pencil skirt, and ankle-spraining stilettos. A white dress shirt and black straight hair flowing at her back; She was very formal and pulled along with her a very domineering geste. As soon as she placed her paraphernalia on the desk; the whole classroom became as still as death!“Good morning everyone! I would like tRelated chapters

Chapter 9UNKNOWN POVSITTING IN MY BIG leather chair in my office, I looked at the files of the neophytes. The exam this year had affected our numbers and we had a very small portion at our side. it was such a pain in the ass when the test gave out a bigger number to the other faction.Although it sounded funny and rather unbelievable, the two divisions brought balance to life. There was more than what humans thought. Supernaturals have lived among humans ever since the beginning of the universe, but they still didn't know it. This only showed the level of their stupidity and their negligence to life. I was human with blood and bones yes, but heck! I have never seen such stupid creatures in the world. It used to pain me that I was human before, but now, not so much!Creatures lurked in the dark every hour of the day. The divisions were created for stability, and it has remained that way for over 500 years. And we the Anuka saw to the balance of the world. As the str

GALINA POVDAYS WENT ON and the questions kept nagging me. Nothing about this place seemed to make any sense, and the excitement that once consumed me whole had now turned into deep frustration and confusion. No one has ever mentioned to me that when we arrived in the big school, we would be trained to be witches. Absolutely no one. And my mom, did she have any idea of what was happening here? Did anybody have any idea of what was going down within the stone walls of VU? Or their shady shenanigans were off hidden and concealed from the world.And the fact that they all claimed that it was in the interest of everyone, really didn’t add up. Yes, it may sound cool to be able to talk to the dead, use forces to manipulate nature, create illusions. It had felt good in my first magic class when I floated a feather from the table and watched it dance in

Chapter 11GALINA POVTHE FOLLOWING DAY, we had classes in the morning since the fest began at noon. Only those who were going to participate in the fest were off the hook. Egor was a participant also which meant I had to spend the rest of the classes alone. I didn’t mind though, at all. It was just the fact that I had gotten too used to having him around that it felt kind of strange to be by myself in the class.We had a historical ethics class and things were rather fascinating this time. Everyone knew my passion for history and how much I loved it. There was just something that burned inside of me whenever I listened or read a history book. Having to know the events of the past all perfected and detailed, with words played like a mosaic to give you a clear vivid picture of what had transpired; that was the definition of life. Bliss!The history teacher himself was one of my favorites because of how well and expertly he delivered his course. He made you

JUPITER POVKeeping tabs on Grisha was as fun as it got. I still couldn’t believe that the little naïve girl with big-ass framed reading glasses was the golden phoenix who was going to bring us salvation and save the world from the hands of Anuka. It was still a very foreign concept even though I wanted to make deal with it. From the scrolls, Grisha would be strong, domineering, unstoppable. And the little girl who was not only 18 but also man-blood was really far from what was written in the scrolls! Well, except for her insanely dominating aura even though she was just meek, and pretty much killable!And now, trailing her and watching what she did every day was what I lived for. Although I was very much against it at first, because I actually didn’t understand why they wanted me to the job, I mean anyone can do it. So it just didn’t make sense for them to point me out and tell me that I should do it. But now I didn’t regret any of that. Gri

GALINA POVRIGHT IN THE midst of confusion dilemma and sheer perplexity, the men who had me in a firm grip went in by befogging my head with a black bag, depriving my eyes of a sense of sight. The black bag sunk on my head and heavily slump over my shoulders, pushing me down. I couldn’t scream, or say anything. I just let them carry me in their big arms and walked with me for however long they did.My ears tried to pick up all the sounds, my nose flared to carry out any lingering scent, but the bag totally engulfed me whole, and it was so heady on all of my senses!My heart was thrumming painfully in my chest, my whole body aching from being deprived of sensation. I was so lightheaded and it felt like I was going to pass out anytime soon if that went on. After millennia of walking, I was pushed down into a seat before the black hood around my head was abruptly yanked from me.I blinked a few times trying to adjust to the light in…We were inside a room, and in h

GALINA POVTHE WALK back to the dormitories was filled with nothing but a blur. I didn’t feel myself or anything about me. I was just a zombie that was putting a foot in front of the other and moving forward with no clear sense of direction. When I walked by, I heard small murmurs and saw people throwing dirty glances my way and was totally unfazed by them!I tried to think of why and how that was the case but failed miserably. All I have ever wanted was to be a laid-back student, who is focused on getting her degree and nothing else. I didn’t plan to be caught up in whatever crap Belladonna and her squad did behind the curtains. I didn’t want to be part of it in all ways. But here I was, feeling chills running down my spine at the sense of being watched. I never really thought they’d send someone to watch over me, but they did.I felt heavy like my heart was sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss.The sound of running footsteps ra

GALINA POVTHE NEXT FEW days blew by in a blur of exhaustion and confusion. Like always, the occurrence of the sports fest was never talked off. Just like everything that had gone with the wind, nobody talked of those who had seizure episodes during the fest, and what the siren had been of. Because I tell you, that siren was no ordinary. And no one literally cared about the collateral damage it caused and those who got hurt.It was as if nothing happened, and everything was all merry, up and about!On a serious note, I didn’t know whether I should be awed by the level of “mind your own damn business” these people had or freak out because people disappeared day in and day out and nobody seemed to give a shit or two about it. And that was totally disquieting.I also stopped being the talk of the town, my days slowly sunk back into the routined pattern where I got up with a start, went to school, then to the library, and just buried my

GALINA POV“And they still do!”Her statement peeled my eyes off the portraits and landed on her poised self. I didn’t know whether she was joking since she always had a serious face on but could still send one down with a hard guffaw, but something about the way she said it told me she was far from joking!“The vampires and werewolves exist?” I said through a nervous chuckle that just came out of nowhere. I mean all of these just didn’t add up. I always loved vampires because their pale skins were just too hot to handle, and the werewolves and their possessiveness. But the thought of them being real, in this world, that wasn't what I vouched for!“Werefoxes, dragons, mermaids and merfolk, witches and warlocks, all of the legends.” She stated clamping her hands on her front.“But how?” I inquired after a good minute of an insane mind-reeling.“Well, let’s just say they don&rsq
