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
Ashes and Bloodlines A dangerous confession
Earlier that day, Cassian had walked out of his room and peeked downstairs. There, he saw Tim and his friends stepping out of their rooms. A smirk appeared on his lips and he decided to compliment him.“Hey Tim,” he called. “You’re looking armed this morning. What’s the occasion?”Tim fumed where he was and didn’t give a reply. He just focused on his way and lowered his head.“Handicap looks good on you. It makes you humble, at least,” he teased.Jordan stepped out of Ryker’s room at the same time and Cassian raised a brow when he noticed a slight disturbance in the air. He moved his feet towards the place and held the door firmly just before Ryker would slam his door shut.“I think I smell betrayal here,” he said, sniffing the air.Jordan had a deep frown on his face and he said to him, “I know what you did to Tim. The only reason you are still not in detention is because his friends couldn’t expose the fact that they sneaked in contrabands.”Cassian grinned wider and said, “Tim suff
