Ashes and Bloodlines Not another goodbye
The twisting vines took deep roots in the grounds and extended forward, toward the people at the clearing. Everyone was swept off their feet and it felt like a force was holding them down. They were thrown in confusion and no one knew what to do.They soon saw the roots approaching them gradually and the more it moved toward them, the more they felt their bodies being pressed to the ground. It was like it was holding them so they wouldn’t escape until it had gotten to them and then whatever happens, happens.By that time, the only thing connecting Julianne to her body was a thin line that could snap at any moment. She could feel someone’s hand on her back, or maybe, someone was trying to reach her, but she couldn’t turn or do anything. Everything and everyone she loves are already gone. At least that was what she believed. All that’s left now is to finish what she started.A conscious side of her heard her name, and it willed her to recog
Ashes and Bloodlines Awakening in the ashes
The headmistress laughed at her words, mocking her and then Julianne waited for the right time. Once it came, she took it.The headmistress had leaned closer again and Julianne took hold of her, grabbing her tightly and not letting go. Her expression hardened and her eyes stared intensely at the headmistress, as if she was her main focus.The headmistress didn’t have time to process what was happening all of a sudden. She tried freeing herself but it seems Julianne’s hands already conjoined with hers, unable to let go.“What are you doing?” she asked as fear crossed her eyes.Julianne stared down at the glove on her hand. She had always seen her with them and it was like she never took it off. She took it off and saw the same marks Cassian had. It was true that she too, had been cursed.She gripped her hand strongly and felt energy coursing within her. She channeled it to her hand and looked into the headmistress&rsquo
Ashes and Bloodlines Breaking point
Another attack broke out in the clearing. It was a fight for freedom and survival.Maximus stepped out of the part of the forest that had burned down with Remus behind him and they watch the fight take place in front of them.“That must be the leader,” Remus said, looking at the one Scott fought head-to-head with.“Okay.” Maximus breathed the words out. “Will you go or should I?”“Are you seriously calling dibs right now?” Remus frowned at him.Maximus gave him a confused look. “That’s not what I’m doing. I’m just anxious that’s all. I can’t wait for this to end at once.”“And then what?” Remus asked. “What will you do once this is all over?”Maximus gave it a few seconds of thought and replied, “I might take a year off and disappear. It’s not like we can continue to live here anyway, and after today, the school will be under new developments.” He said seriously, “I’m thinking of finding a job. I’ll see which one I’m good at.”He caught Remus countenance and quickly added, “You know,
Ashes and Bloodlines Fire without restraint
“Where is Maximus?” was the first thing Kaidan asked.Ryker shook his head, clearly having no idea where he is. “The hunters attacked the dorm and we all got split. I haven’t seen him since then.” He noticed his mood and then asked, “What about Cassian? Where is he?”“Looking for Julianne,” he replied and walked past them.“He hasn’t found her yet?” He turned and called after him, “Where are you going?” “I need to find a dry place.”Ryker exchanged look with Lena and she raised her shoulders at him. They followed Kaidan and whispered behind him.They had not walked for long when Kaidan stepped on a dry leave that crumbled beneath his boot. He stopped and looked down before looking around and up the trees.“This is it,” he muttered and turned to Ryker. “How many hunters did you see?” he asked.“20?”“There’s more than that.”“Okay, so what are you trying to do?” Lena asked impatiently. “Why did you stop?”Kaidan looked at her and crouched down. “You said you’d give anything to watch m
Ashes and Bloodlines Prey and predators
Thirty minutes had passed since the first explosion tore through the dorm.The students had been forced out after several more blasts damaged the building, and that was exactly what the hunters had been waiting for. The moment the vampires and wolves stepped outside, attacks came from every direction. Arrows flew from the trees while gunshots erupted from another side, sending everyone scrambling for cover.The students ran blindly into the forest, hoping to escape the hunters long enough to regroup and come up with a strategy. Instead, they were separated almost immediately. Some disappeared between the trees while others were chased deeper into the forest where the hunters had already prepared their positions.It had been planned perfectly, and it was working in the hunters' favor.Maximus and Remus crouched behind a large tree, watching several hunters move through the forest in search of the students. Scott was with them, his hand pressed against his shoulder where a bullet had to
Ashes and Bloodlines First strike
(Minutes before the explosion...)Maximus took another walk around the dorm, inspecting the damage from the previous night's attack. Broken furniture had been pushed aside, some windows were shattered, and the smell of smoke still lingered in the air. The others had taken turns guarding the dorm, but the tension among them remained impossible to ignore.He soon came across Remus, who was standing near one of the damaged walls.“Do you really think Cassian could have done something like that?” Remus asked.Maximus frowned at the mention of his name. “Put us in danger and not care if we get hurt in the process? Yes. At this point, it shouldn't even surprise me.”“That's not what I mean.” Remus sighed. The past few days had taken a toll on him, and there was a tiredness in his voice that Maximus hadn't heard before. “I feel like we're overlooking something important.”“Like what?”“Why would Cassian have a plan we knew nothing about?”Maximus looked away. “Remus, you need to stop making
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

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
