“Who do we think is the culprit?” Remus asked. He was sitting on a small wooden box at the center of the room.

Cassian sat by the desk, tapping his fingers on the table. His expression has been grim ever since he walked in. He stopped tapping and said, “I believe we all have the same person in mind.”

Maximus nodded in agreement and Julianne held her hands together. She just couldn’t believe that headmistress Eldryn would kill Marianne just to get to her.

“But we need evidence against her to pr

    “You must enjoy hearing yourself speak,” Cassian said flatly, his voice carrying a cold edge that made the words feel like an insult.Velvet laughed softly and tilted her head. “And yet, here you are, listening.”“Don’t flatter yourself,” he said with a quiet disdain. “I’m not.” She tilted her head and curved her lips into a lazy smile. “If anything, you’re the one pretending.”His eyes finally settled on her. “I know you came here willingly because you want something out of me. The Cassian I know wouldn’t let himself be humiliated in front of anyone and be branded a traitor.”The door opened at the same time and silence stretched between them. Maximus walked in with a tray in his hand and he settled his eyes on Cassian. Once the door was shut, he moved from there and made his way toward him without sparing Velvet even a glance.Without a word, he set the tray down which contained first aid equipments and he made to treat his wounds. Cassian turned his head away before he could dab

    “I’ll stay and fight for my freedom.”Scott felt his heart pause just briefly when he heard that. “I’ll stay too.”“Me too.”Soon, everyone started to join in until their voices became one and chorused.Scott had never felt this sense of unity before. For the first time, it seems that they suddenly had one goal they needed to achieve together. He turned to look at them and couldn’t be more proud that they decided to get back what they also deserve and wouldn’t just let anyone take it away from them.One of the boys stepped forward and said, “Scott, we wouldn’t have made it this far without you. I don’t care about what they think our life’s worth is. I only know that I have so many brothers my mother could never give me, and we’ve become one family. We’ve had our ups and downs and we’ve gone through difficult times, but look at us still here and standing strong. It was all under your guidance, so why would we leave now when it’s time to reclaim what we’ve lost?”Another one spoke. “He

    “Oh Cassian. You can’t drag us all out here and not tell us what is happening. You have to show leadership since you started this whole thing.” Scott’s voice echoed aloud in the forest. They had been roaming around looking for one person without any clear answer as to why she went missing in the first place. Not to even talk of the disturbance that happened in the dorm last night. He looked afar off to where Cassian stood and he started to get irritated when he got no response from him. “Cassian! What the hell is going on?”Maximus worried about the situation, but before he could talk to him again, Cassian was already going back down to where the others were. He followed immediately.“Finally,” Scott said and walked to stand in front of him. He motioned with his hands and asked, “Will you tell us now what this is about? I think we need answers. Isn’t that right?”“Yes.” Most of them agreed and one could hear the frustration in their voices.“Anyone who wants to leave can leave. I t

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Ghost search

    Tears burst from Julianne’s eyes as she ran out of the dorm and through the academy grounds. Painful sobs broke from her lips and she wiped her face as she ran to wherever her legs would take her. She hadn’t meant to do that to them. She hadn’t meant to leave them, but that was the only way they wouldn’t get hurt. It was the only way she could make sure no one dies because of her anymore.She made her way to the forest grounds and stopped, exhausted from it all. She gripped the cloth around her chest tightly and looked up at the moonlit sky. With tear-blurred vision, she roared, “It’s me you want! You can stop hurting the people around me. I’m so sick and tired of everything so just take me instead. Do you hear me?! Come now and end this shitty endless cycle!”She fell to her knees and dropped her head down. She’s surrendering, and she hoped they would come fast.The forest grounds soon began to echo with footsteps and it kept getting closer. Julianne knew she had been surrounded, an

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    The darkness awakens

    The room started to become suffocating. Julianne remained motionless with her eyes still fixed on the book that turned out to be headmistress Eldryn’s personal journal. “You are the last Ashblood.” Remus words kept repeating in her head.Was that really what she was?Maximus’ gaze lingered on the journal before he finally let out a sigh. “There has to be more. The ending doesn’t feel complete.”“That’s because the headmistress decided to take it to her grave,” Cassian said. He sounded even more angry than he looks.Maximus took the book and opened it in front of him. He went over the last page and read the last line again. Then suddenly, his brows drew together.“Wait…”“What is it?” Remus asked.Cassian looked at him.Maximus lifted the journal closer and ran his thumb along the edge of the page. “This…” his expression hardened. “A page has been torn out.” “What?” Remus pulled his brows and leaned closer as Maximus carefully spread the journal open.The page had indeed been torn ve

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    The last Ashblood

    “She was the real monster. I met her again, but this time, she wasn’t as old as the last. How did I know she was the one? The pattern was just the same as the last, but this time, something seemed to have changed. The mark on her skin…it burned me the moment I tried to touch her. She was lethal. And she was slowly poisoning the others. No matter how many times I tried to stop her, she came back again. Not twice, not thrice…I couldn’t understand it. How can there be many like her? Then for the first time after the second and third, I manipulated an incubi into seeing through her mind, and all I got were more questions.‘From the Ashes, we will rise again’.It all started to make sense after so many years. I realized I could be the key to ending this curse, but I hesitated. I’m only human after all. It was the only thing that kept me sane because I knew I hadn’t lost my humanity. I only wanted to get rid of the bloodline, not the ones who were affected.I realized if there were none a

    Julianne was already panting when she reached the front desk of the dorm. The woman looked at her and asked, “Is there anything you want?”“I think someone broke into my room,” she said and tried to catch her breath.The woman looked at her like the calmest person in the whole school, then she aske

    Julianne hasn’t seen Cassian for days now since the freshman party. Although, she has seen Remus and Maximus walking together, but it was odd for some reason that he was not with them. Also, she noticed lately that Marianne has stopped covering up her neck and has been hanging out with the other tw

    Cassian stared at the same spot for seconds and his jaw twitched. He blinked and pulled the corner of his lips a bit. Finally, he asked her another question, one that was unrelated to what she said, “Did Tim do or say anything to you the other day you came to the dorm?”Julianne wasn’t expecting a

    Once classes ended on Friday morning, Julianne hurried to the dorm to pick out the dress she would wear for the freshman party that would take place by evening. Like Marianne said, she didn’t want to miss out on anything ‘fun’ so she wouldn’t be the one to regret it later. She emptied her wardrobe
