“Will you really go to the boy’s dormitory?” Marianne asked after they got to their dorm.

Julianne turned to her and said, “I have to.”

Marianne stood there looking at her and then asked, “Do you want me to come with you?”

“I was hoping you would ask me that,” Julianne replied with a smile.

Although Marianne looks uncertain, she still agreed to it. Before she would go to her room, she asked, “Have you heard from Velvet?”

Velvet…Julianne thought. How could she forget about her?

“No, I have not,” she answered.

Marianne gave a nod and headed to her room while Julianne walked into hers and shut the door. She walked to her cupboard and picked out a hoodie with a jean trouser before laying them on the bed. She let her body collapse on the other side of the bed and she stared up at the ceiling. As she laid there in silence, her thoughts were soon consumed by the boy she saw at the bleachers earlier—Lucien.

She tried to remember at all, if she knew him from somewhere, but all she got were bla

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Backwoods Town

    As they now took a diversion into the woods, Julianne hoped that Maximus was right. She couldn’t imagine finding Cassian in a deeply bad state. That would hurt her and she won’t be able to forgive herself. The reason why she threw herself like that earlier when she saw what happened in the classroom was because she knew it was all because of her. Cassian didn’t deserve any of this and she knows it. Even when she said those words to him the last time they spoke, it was enough for him to hate her, and yet, she was the very reason he was in whatever state he was right now.After a long walk, she could finally see lights and what appears to be buildings.“What is this place?” she asked as she walked out of the forest and now into the streets.“A town,” Remus said, barely looking at her. “Didn’t you come from one?”Julianne indeed came from one, but she was surprised that a place like this exist. The day she came to Blackthorn, she didn’t sight any towns or buildings. But this place was ju

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    The search for Cassian

    When Velvet heard what happened, she hurried to the headmistress’ office. She opened the door without knocking and saw her close a book and slip it under the desk immediately.“Yes Velvet? Why would you barge in here?” Headmistress Eldryn asked.Velvet caught her breath and said with a tone of urgency, “It’s Cassian and Jordan.” She then went ahead to narrate everything that happened.Headmistress Eldryn stood up immediately and her eyes shot with anger and concern. “They did that in the presence of other students? That too, in broad daylight? But Cassian doesn’t act suddenly if there isn’t a reason.” She raised her eyes and asked Velvet directly, “Is it because of that Julianne girl? I did hear that there was an incident in the gym. Was it Jordan’s doing?”Velvet couldn’t ignore the question. She had heard about what happened in the gym from a student after she heard whisperings going around. She couldn’t go and see Julianne last night because she didn’t know how to approach her yet,

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    The storm after the calm

    As Julianne walked to the class the next day, she could hear the students whisper about the incident that happened in the gym. Lately, her ears have been very sharp. She could hear the silent conversations of people and it was very disturbing. Her mind wasn’t quiet anymore. She couldn’t even go to sleep until around 2 A.M. when everyone had already fallen asleep. She wondered if it was normal or if it was as a result of what she was. It made her anxious about the days that were proceeding fast. What if her body was changing as she is growing?“Senior?”Julianne stopped walking and raised her eyes to see a female student standing in front of her.“Uh? What did you say?” she asked, knowing she had said something but the voices of the others in her head had mixed up what she must have heard.“I said Senior,” the girl answered. “I wasn’t sure how to address you.”“I’m Julianne. Is there something you want?” she asked her.“Ah! I see you don’t remember me. We met in the gym yesterday,” she

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Not again this time

    “Julianne! Are you okay?” Lucien came kneeling in front of her and holding her face up, checking if she was hurt in any way. “I’m sorry for not coming to you quick. I shouldn’t have left you there alone.”Julianne could now see more students gather to check if she was fine, especially the girl who had asked for the ball to be passed before the incident. She looked sorrier than anyone else, as if what had happened was her fault.She moved her eyes, looking for the boy who had saved her, but he was nowhere in sight. Her eyes then moved to look at where Maximus and the others sat through the opening. Marianne had a frightened expression on her face while Maximus and Remus looked somewhat angry. But Cassian was the only one who had his head lowered as both his hands hung down on either of his legs. Just then, she saw him get up and turn, making his way out of the gym. Maximus didn’t hesitate to follow him while Marianne gave her another stare before leaving with Remus.“Julianne,” Lucien

    When Lucien noticed the look on Julianne’s face, he looked towards the direction she was staring at and he saw the reason. Turning back to face her, he used his hand to turn her face slightly, making her look at him and he said, “You don’t need them. They left you in the first place. Don’t look so pitiful because of them.”He took her to the other side of the bench and made her sit. “I’ll come running if you need anything,” he said.Julianne gave a nod and watched him walk to where a team of students were. She tried not to think about anything else and just focus on Lucien. She watched his posture and how he moved. About a year ago, he was the kind of man she had wished for before Shane came. Shane was quite the type himself, except when she started to notice the signs, just like she is now…‘Julianne. Hey Julianne. I don’t know if this is working, but if it is, can you look at me?’A boy moved past Julianne with a trolley and she looked at him as he went. The auditorium was quite big

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Under watchful eyes

    Ryker clenched his teeth and fists tightly. Maybe Cassian was right, but how can he say those words like that? Right now, this wasn’t about getting his feelings out. He doesn’t know what it was that he felt for her, but whatever it was, it had a great effect on him. However, he didn’t think it was the same for Julianne. She would never look his way or even have a conversation with him. His presence only makes her want to retch and it makes him feel more like an animal whenever she makes that expression.Seeing that he didn’t reply within estimated seconds, Cassian let out a dry laugh and the smile on his lips faded immediately. “I guess I wasn’t the only one after all.”Ryker raised his eyes and wondered if Cassian was expressing how he felt also about Julianne, probably to make him back off. But why was he saying that in front of him? It was not like he was unaware about their chemistry. At least, he witnessed those nights where they were alone in Julianne’s room together. Those nigh
