The minutes that followed were in awkward silence and obviously uncomfortable. On one hand, there is Marianne who is sitting between Maximus and Remus. On the other hand was Julianne who is sitting next to Cassian and on her other side is Maximus. During those few minutes, both Marianne and Julianne already exchanged glances about six times.

When Remus moved his hand towards the snacks to grab a bite, Marianne quickly pulled the tray back and shot him a glare.

“Chill,” he said with a little laugh. “It’s going to get cold anyway if you keep staring at it.”

“That’s none of your business,” she said with a frown.

Remus leaned back on the chair and said, “I’m your senior, yet you keep talking to me like that.”

Marianne bit her lower lip and the frown on her forehead deepened. “I’m sorry,” she said, “but I wouldn’t have spoken in that manner if you placed yourself where you should be.”

“What?” Remus scoffed and Cassian tapped his fingers on the table.

“What is this in the air?” he asked all

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    When Marianne asked

    Maximus eyes moved around desperately as he rushed through the place, searching for Marianne. His eyes moved towards a table where he heard some girls laughing and then he moved his eyes towards the container where drinks and snacks are being served. Moving his eyes to the front, he sighted her just before she would turn the corner and disappear from sight. He went in that direction and moved his eyes around again as he ran towards where he supposed she would have gone.Marianne walked with her eyes on the path, oblivious of where she was going. All she wanted was to get away from the loud noise and the people and be by herself where she can express her emotions. She thought back on when Maximus held her hand as if to stop her from leaving, and even though she was expecting him to have said something, he did not. She stopped and gritted her teeth. Why her? She thought. Of all people, why did it have to be her?She let out a sigh and raised her eyes to see where she was. "Where am I?"

    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 question like that from him. Worse, she expected him to ask her why she wanted to end whatever they had all of a sudden. She expected him to laugh it off and say she wasn’t being serious, but his nonchalant expression made her feel worse, like he saw it coming. It made her feel like she was the bad person.“A whore,” she heard a familiar voice say just at the side and she moved her head to see Aurora.Cassian raised his brow at her and she said, “You were asking what he said to her. Actually, I heard from one of my friends who is close with someone that witnessed it. She said Julianne visited the boy’s dorm in search of you and ended up being disgraced by Tim who called her a whore.” She lau

    “How are we going to figure out Julianne? Any plans tonight?” Maximus asked Cassian who was busy dressing up. His hair was still damp from just getting out of shower and from the looks of it, he doesn’t intent on drying it.“It’s freshman party, Max. I would rather not do anything tonight,” replied Cassian.“Or…we could hunt for some fresh blood,” Remus suggested with a smile.Cassian quirked the corner of lips up and gave Remus a knowing look. “That makes sense,” he said and put on a black top.As they were leaving the room, Cassian turned to Maximus and seeing that he was not yet dressed, he asked, “Are you not coming?”“No,” Maximus answered.Remus turned to look at him at the same time and said, “Too bad. I heard Marianne would also be there.”On hearing her name, Maximus shut the door and Remus exchanged looks with Cassian who pulled his brows.“What about her?’ he asked him.“Oh, you didn’t know?” Remus gave a sniffled laugh and said, “I think Maximus has a thing for Marianne.”

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    Freshman party

    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 and realized she didn’t have something pretty to wear for the occasion. They were mostly cardigans and long-sleeved clothes with trousers. She couldn’t wear them because it would make her look odd. Discouraged, she sat back on the bed and decided to wait for Marianne to get back from the volunteer work she was doing. She was part of the people who were in charge of organizing the event.By 2 in the afternoon, most students started to return to the dorm. Thinking that Marianne would have been back, Julianne stepped out of the room and was about making her way towards her room when she sighted her just walking inside, and walking beside her was Velvet.“Julie,” Marianne called as she met up wi

  • Ashes and Bloodlines    First blood

    “Cassian. Cassian!”“Is he dead?”There was the sound of footsteps receding and a door slightly creaking open.“What will we do? I heard that people died, but they managed to come back. I can’t believe they carried him all the way back.”“Is he still breathing?”“I don’t know. I thought the medicine I gave him earlier would be effective. He should have died in that house.”The door was shut and someone was breathing heavily.“What is it?”“It’s Remus family. They raided their home and there is no sign of life there.”Then a gasp.“What will we do? We can’t possibly manage to take care of three kids.”“That’s not the problem.”“Then what is?”Silence followed and the male voice spoke again, “The ones that got bitten are going rogue. They say they are possessed and needs to be killed before they kill us.”Another gasp. “Who did this? Gosh! I’m even scared of looking at those kids.”“It’s been two hours already. Any time from now, they will start showing symptoms if they also got bitten.
