The Dawn Falls Chapter 23
CHAPTER 23“Whoever told you that I lost my mind doesn’t know anything about me,” she said. She sounded sincere and genuine, but the person who told me she was crazy was the only teenager by I trusted in this town. I trusted Gelo more than her. I also believed that Gelo could lie to me for the better. Or he may even don’t know the truth about Mila. Or what he said was the absolute truth and Mila’s turning crazy to make me think that the things she was saying were real.“How can I know if you’re telling the truth or just fooling me?” I took a step back. She could grab me instantly or put a knife in my belly. I don’t want to be kidnapped again. That night when the teachers kidnapped me was one of my haunting moments.She let out a sigh and touched my wrist. “Come with me inside. I can’t tell you everything here.” She was about to pull me inside when I stayed at my place. I won’t go with a stranger like her.“I don’t trust you. I won’t go with you.”Her lifeless eyes blinked. She was pa
The Dawn Falls Chapter 24
CHAPTER 24I left Mila shortly after the confusion. She told me, “This isn’t the end for the two of us.” Which crept me out because she’s still a stranger to me. What if she was imagining things that didn’t happen. That the Alpha of the pack in this town wasn’t the one who killed her parents. I don’t know what to believe anymore because that woman was going to mess up my mental health if I thought of her more.What if it was true? That she’s just pretending to be crazy to save her life. That she’s somehow connected to the Alpha because he’s the one who killed her family. I somehow relate to her. If we join forces, we’ll be able to find out who killed my parents as well.She’d been living her life in this town for at least thirty-five years, based on how I see her age though she looked like she’s in her late forties because of her whisky hair. But my brothers wouldn’t let me cooperate with a person I didn’t know. As far as I’m concerned, humans, especially crazy ones, made up most of t
The Dawn Falls Chapter 25
CHAPTER 25“You talked to her?” Gelo asked, not furious and not calm. He was shocked by what I said. Even my old self couldn’t believe what I did. I talked to the woman they pertain to as ‘crazy’ or ‘someone who lost her mind’.I crunched my waist, left and right. “She wasn’t crazy at all. She’s completely fine,” I insisted. The information Gelo has for this town was incomparable to what I know, but there’s a chance I could be the right one. If Mila has sufficient information that might help me, I could connect those to the death of Mom and Dad. The truth will prevail. A gift I wanted before I avoid myself in this town and attend university. “She didn’t harm me. I don’t see any possible harm from her. I think she wanted to make a deal with me.”“Why don’t you just listen to me, Cath? Mila’s crazy. She lost her mind. Everybody knew that.”“What if you’re wrong? She might be the missing piece in the death of my parents. She’s also lost her parents. According to her, the Alpha killed her
The Dawn Falls Chapter 26
CHAPTER 26Entering someone’s property is prohibited. Basic ethics and morals, as what teachers or priests taught us. Chaz will give me answers. So I headed alone to his place without informing Gelo. Then I heard him screaming for help. In pain. In danger. I forcefully opened the door and thought Kaz was about to kill him. It turned out, that I’m the one on the wrong side. I illegally entered, and stopped them from what they were doing earlier“What are you doing here, Cath?” This time, Chaz’s voice turned mad or serious. His brows crossed while Kaz remained calm and bland. Based on how they’re reacting right now, they weren’t planning to kill each other earlier.I trailed with my first words. “I visited you to ask something you might have an answer for. Aside from Nana’s family, you’re the only one I can trust. Before I even call your name, I heard you screaming for help. I saw Kaz, half-naked, though he’s going to kill you. And then…” I gasped for breath. I don’t know what to say an
The Dawn Falls Chapter 27
CHAPTER 27“You knew her personally?” A lesson I learned in this town was that asking a few people would uncover truths in a mystery. Chaz only told me a few details yet they helped me to get to know Mila well.Chaz bobbed his head. “We’ve been friends. I’m not sure why they call her crazy. She lost her parents, but she’s not the type who will grieve like that. She’s tough. A contender for a fearless woman. We lost in translation when my parents died. She stopped training and I stopped seeing others.”I was about to speak when he continued.“The two of us…” His adam’s apple moved. “Were really great friends while training. A human and a werewolf, but there’s no discrimination in between. She’s the first, the only one who kept my secret that I like guys. We realized we’re not that different from one another. Then my parents were killed. Why are you asking me again, Catherine?”“She talked to me. She told me I was the key to justice for her parents. She knew what happened to me, that my
The Dawn Falls Chapter 28
Chapter 28Mila did not lie in telling me that the two of us are the same. We have the same goals. Justice and the truth. For now, she’s my other half—my partner. She needed me, to the same degree how I needed her. We both decided that I will only visit her when I have an update or at least once a month. We don’t have a time frame for our plan. It’s better to conduct it safely and carefully.By Saturday, we had another physical training. I felt stronger than before though my muscles were gushing with pain and soreness. They were roaring, wanting to escape from the pain. I never had physical training or even work out intensely before. My body wasn’t used to that. I already told Chaz about it but he wasn’t listening. Everyone, even the newbie, got hard on themselves earlier.I realize I might grow abs with our training. When I was in middle school, it had always been my wish to have abs. High school women that are passing by our house were sexy and have abs. I’ve been promising myself s
The Dawn Falls Chapter 29
Chapter 29Angelo liking me was the most hilarious thing I heard in the past few weeks. It’s not that Angelo is ugly—he was damn attractive, kind, a literal boy-next-door type since he’s my neighbor. I admit that he’s likable. But what am I? I’m just a half-blood and he’s a pure werewolf. A type who wasn’t interesting at all.I never had the chance to ask him what are his reasons for why he liked me. I wish it was a joke, but he looked so serious about it. If I let myself attach to the thought, I wouldn’t be able to focus. My goal was to find the ones who killed my parents and help Mila, who’s still on the verge of thinking that the alpha was the one who killed hers. I wasn’t here to break my virginity and have a relationship.Chaz let us grab a set of bow and arrows. I never knew I would be practicing archery. If I would be part of a school’s sports team, I’ll join cross country and not freaking archery. This time, we had to learn it as a weapon. I don’t know what’s the point with th
The Dawn Falls Chapter 30
CHAPTER 30“Gwen, can I take a look at your essay on history? I badly need inspiration,” Aki said. We’re inside the library, one of the safest places if we wanted silence and peace while studying and making our assignments. We had to make an essay about the cold war and it’s due in our class later. I don’t know why Aki did not make his assignment at home. “What if I don’t want to? You’ve been playing video games most of the time when you’re at home, and now you’re telling me you don’t have an essay that’s due a few hours from now?”“Gwen, I’m sorry. It’s just I don’t have the motivation to study? Who does?” They both glanced at me. The person who finished her assignments earlier than the due, who always perfect her quizzes and tests, and was complimented by the teacher most of the time. “Of course, it’s Catherine. Now I wonder if humans are more capable of learning than werewolves.”“I just like it. I love learning,” I said. And I also love to pass UCLA or Yale to leave this freaking
