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 Dead weight
“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
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
