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 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 Boy's dormitory
“I like the length of your hair,” Marianne commented after glancing over Julianne’s hair since they started to head towards the boy’s dormitory.Julianne pushed the strands to the back of her ear and said to her, “Thanks.”“So, what is it you want from Cassian? Is it something he took from you? I w

Julianne looked at Cassian after handing the piece of paper to him. She had thought about it several times, but there was no other person she could think of giving than him.“Can you help me?” she asked.Cassian flipped the paper to the back and squinted his eyes a bit. “The handwriting should fish

Julianne stared down, deep in her own thoughts with her legs crossed on Marianne’s bed. She recalled the earlier encounter at the boy’s dormitory and she felt a cold chill run through her, causing goosebumps on her skin.At least she had thought Cassian was still somewhere close to good, because th

“From the moment you came, something shifted and it is only the beings who lurks in the dark that knows. For some, it could mean danger for them. For another, it could mean another thing entirely. I also saw you as a threat and even now, a sleeping threat, until I find out exactly what you are. I h
