Julianne walked with Marianne to the library after classes were over. They met the library woman by the desk whose eyes were engrossed in a romance novel.

Marianne pretended to cough and the woman looked up with a frown, as if angry that were cutting her spices short.

“Yes?” she demanded.

“I would like to borrow a book,” Marianne said.

“Do you have your library pass with you?” the woman asked as she took out a book and opened the pages.

Marianne presented her pass and the woman wrote down the n

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Brace yourself

    Velvet placed a hand on the wall and dropped down slowly. Her knees touched the ground and she stared blankly before her expression soon changed to that of someone that was deeply hurt.She couldn’t for the life of her understand why they have to go as far as to using her as a pawn, when from the start, she willingly accepted to come here and expose the monsters. She was stupid enough to trust that they considered her as family.Her parents had died early, but before that, they trusted her with someone, also a hunter. If she remembers correctly, her parents were good hunters and she has good memories of them. But to think that the people her parents had trusted her with would dispose of her like that…She lowered her eyes and stared longer at the ground. It soon started to make sense to her that Cassian could have killed her the day Fiona died and he suspected her. Cassian has always been ruthless, and she knows. And killing one of the people close to him means the person had to die t

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Nothing but a pawn

    The three entered the basement and looked around with the help of the torch that Kaidan lit. Velvet examined the place, especially the damp walls from years of neglect. “This place is old,” she said. “It must have been here before the academy.”Cassian looked at her and asked, “You didn’t know about it?”Velvet shook her head and sighed. “I know, it’s a shame, but I never had any reason to suspect her before so I could never have thought she was up to no good.”They continued down, and the further they went, the colder the air became. “What do you think the headmistress does here?” Kaidan suddenly asked.Velvet shook her head, having no idea. “You think she has been prepared all along?”“I wouldn’t cross that,” she said. “I mean, it makes sense why she wants the journal back and had to kill Marianne for it. She doesn’t want anyone uncovering what she thought was buried.”She soon went completely silent after the mention of Marianne. She knew her death was partly her fault. She sho

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Secret basement

    Cassian moved through the forest without slowing down. His eyes scanned the whole place and they avoided mostly the area they knew the hunters would be. Velvet already marked the places and told them. It made it easier for them to move without being discovered.The night had grown colder. His wrists still felt sore and dried blood covered parts of his hands, but none of that mattered to him.Julianne was somewhere close to dying, and finding her was the only thing that mattered to him.Kaidan followed closely behind while Velvet struggled to keep up. She was wiped out of exhaustion and was only running on fumes at the moment. They needed to find Julianne, but the problem was finding her before Eldryn did whatever she had planned.“Where are we going?” she finally asked.“Anywhere that leads to her,” Cassian answered.“We don’t even know where that is,” she said and stopped next to a tree. An exhausted sigh escaped her lips as she sat at the foot of it. She couldn’t go any further tha

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    When trust is tested

    By the time morning arrived, everyone in the dorm was already exhausted and no one was speaking to each other. They had used the time of their rest to put out the fire and some had even gone out to search if there was any hunter around.Scott had his brows knitted together as he oversaw everything. No one had planned for a sudden attack, and it was disappointing that even now, no one knows who had started a fire. It seems like it was meant to shake them up, but he just can’t point out who would attack them if not the hunters. Still, he isn’t convinced that it was the hunters doing.Ryker soon walked up to him and he reported, “Everything is under control now. We still haven’t figured out the source of the fire and we still don’t know who the culprit is.”Scott only nodded and he moved his eyes toward a room. “Are the prisoners safe?”Ryker looked toward the direction. He hasn’t thought about the two since the fire broke out. “They should be lucky they are in there. The fire didn’t spr

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    The bait

    Julianne stirred and woke to darkness. It was not the kind that came from closing her eyes, but one where she couldn’t tell whether they were open or shut.She blinked several times, trying to make sense of her surroundings, but nothing changed.Then her head throbbed. A sharp pain pulsed from the back of her head and she winced as she tried to move. She wanted to sit up, but that was when she realized something was holding her down.She tried pulling her arms out with force and she heard something scrape against the floor. Then she decided to make sense of her surroundings.Her wrists had been tied behind the back of a chair and her ankles burn, making her realize they had been bound too by a rope.It was then she had a memory refresh and she remembered what happened in the forest. She remembered the blow to the back of her head. Someone had hit her from behind, but the person she saw before she lost consciousness was Headmistress Eldryn.She swallowed hard and pulled against the rop

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Perfect distraction

    Cassian stared at her for a moment. Then he slowly leaned back against the chair.“You have less than fifteen minutes.”Velvet’s brows drew together. “To do what?” she asked.“To decide carefully what you are going to say and then tell me everything written in the last page, and what Julianne is trying to do.”“And what happens when I don’t tell you and the time is up?”“Trust me, you don’t want to know.”Something about the way he said it made Velvet wary. She noticed he now looks so relaxed and unbothered.Cassian turned his head just slightly to stare at his blood that dripped down from his wrist before looking back at her.“You know me well enough to understand that I’m not asking because I’m curious.”Velvet raised her brows just a bit.“I know Julianne is reckless, but if you lead her to danger, then I won’t be able to forgive you for everything you’ve ever done.” He continued, “I don’t care what people think of me anymore. I don’t even care what Scott does to this place, or if

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Why would you suspect me?

    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

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    The devil they say he is

    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

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Where, or what?

    The match ended with the blue team winning against the red team by four to one. Julianne walked down the bleachers to the field with Marianne right behind her, and Cassian, on sighting her, walked to meet up with her with his hair all damp and his shirt wet with sweat.“You lost,” she said to him.

    Julianne sat up in bed and had her eyes towards the window, waiting. The lights in her room were off and she sat like that for a while, waiting for Cassian to come in through her window. If it were not for Marianne, why would she be expecting a vampire to come in through her window, and that too in
