Before Us Chapter 10
“JENNIFER, hey wake up!” I heard someone’s voice. She was shaking my shoulder trying to wake me up to my senses.I tried to move and open my eyes. My vision was blurry as I tried to look directly at my sister. I massaged my temples as I felt a pulsing pain in my head. My sister helped me to get out of bed because I seemed to have used up all the energy in my body.“We have to leave now,” she told me with all seriousness as she hurried around the place.Wait, what’s up? I tried to look around my surroundings even though I was weak. My worlds collapsed from what I saw not far from where we are. I forced myself to crawl towards Akira’s body. When I finally got close to him, that is when I realized what I have done, the reason why – no! Akira is not yet dead. He’s a werewolf and maybe they are immortal. Right!“Akira? Wake up! I already forgive you. I’m going to listen to your explanation. Just please don’t die! Don’t leave me, please!” I cried. I tried shaking his shoulders but I got no r

"I KNOW her. She holds the entire pack of werewolves. But no one knows what she really looks like. No one has seen her yet," Kuya Vince said.We are currently in the kitchen, drinking milk tea late at night. This werewolf is really strange. Instead of drinking coffee at this hour, he insisted on having milk tea. Earlier, I found out that the reason why the driver was so angry about him not paying the fare was because she took a detour around the province before coming straight to our place, just as he and my sister had discussed."That's a big problem for us, but if ever I see her, I will immediately know it's her," my sister said while sipping her drink through a straw. Her face was serious.I just continued sipping on my milk tea and watched them talk. I'm glad that I am not breaking down. However, there is still a slight tightness in my chest. Not a second goes by without me thinking about Akira. Sometimes, tears suddenly fall from my eyes. Knowing that I won't be able to be with hi

THE underworld is located in a place called Eastfox. Normal people cannot see it because it remains invisible to them using Amara's strong magical power. The three of us went there by riding a longer branch. My power propelled our transportation while Ate Clara kept us invisible from the eyes of normal people. Kuya Vince guided us to reach that place. He even managed to eat fries during our journey. What a different kind of man he is?!Our journey took a long time because the place was standing on the wide ocean of Europa. Normal people would think it's just a real sea, but little do they know it's a city inhabited by werewolves. The sea visible to mortals is just an illusion created by Amara. Creating illusions is one of the common abilities of a witch like me. However, maintaining that illusion for a couple of years required the expertise and great power of a witch. It was truly a work of mastery.When we finally saw the place, I noticed a dark smoke surrounding it. Perhaps this is t

I RETURNED to Kuya Vince's house in a daze. Ate Clara immediately approached me, her face filled with worry, as she saw my continuous crying. She held both sides of my face and looked into my eyes."What happened?" Ate Clara asked, concern was evident in her voice.I smiled bitterly. "I saw him again. He's alive," I said."Why isn't he with you? And why are you crying? Are those tears of joy?" My sister asked, probing further.I turned away from my sister and leaned against the pillar outside Kuya Vince's house. I looked into the distance. I'm glad that he's still alive and fine. But he seems like a total stranger to me. I can't bring myself to embrace him or even touch him. It was as if in his second life, he had taken away my right to enter his life again. I can't blame him."He acted like a total stranger to me earlier in the marketplace," I said. I looked up into the dimming sky, preventing my tears from falling down again. I don't want to feel this way."Don't worry, the day will

"IS your strength coming back?" My father asked me while we were eating in front of the dining table. I paused while chewing and glanced briefly at him."Not completely yet," I replied before continuing to eat. The deafening silence reigned between the two of us once again.Currently, only Dad and I are having dinner tonight. Dani should be with us tonight, but I asked her to let Dad and me have this evening together. The truth is, I want to distance myself from Dani for now. I would prefer that over being together with her, but I don't treat her as a girlfriend, just a friend.One day when I woke up, I felt like I forgot something or left something behind. I couldn't figure out what it was. Was it an object, a person, or a memory? Since that day, it feels like I'm always groping in the dark. Like there's always something missing in me. And then that girl suddenly appeared in my life. I can't deny that I feel something unexplainable for her. Especially when I see her smile, as if I've

"JENNIFER, wait!" I heard Akira call my name.I stopped running. My heart was beating fast when I heard him call me. Does he already remember me? I turned slowly to face him, and his always handsome face greeted me."Can you repeat what you just said?" I asked. I just wanted to make sure I heard it correctly. Or maybe I was just imagining things."I said, wait," he said. He walked towards me, and as he got closer, a wide smile appeared on his lips. He held both of my shoulders."Not that. Repeat what you called me!" I said, a bit annoyed."Jennifer? Is that it?" he asked with a smile."Oh, so you remember me now?" I confirmed."You're my girlfriend who's always mood was like as if you were on your monthly period," he teasingly replied.I should be emotional in this situation. I should be crying and hugging him because his memories have returned. But the opposite is what I feel. Now, I'm angry because of his teasing. All I want to do now is scold him."So, is it true that you tried to m

"THIS is the map of the entire place," Akira said as he laid out a map on the table that he had been holding rolled up earlier.I looked closely at the contents of the map. With the numerous locations and its vastness, it seemed like we would have a hard time searching, especially since there was no specific place where Amara was said to be residing. Furthermore, no one had seen her for a long time. She may already be dead. I don't know! Sometimes, I just want to go crazy and cry out of anger and frustration because I don't know how to find her and if there's even a chance for that to happen."Let's start with the two forests in this area. Those are the most common places a witch like her could possibly reside," Ate Clara suggested.We decided to split into two groups. Akira and I would go together, while Ate Clara, Kuya Vince, and his sister would form the other group. Akira and I chose to explore the Light Woods, while the three of them decided to go to the Dark Woods. It was said th

"AMARA!"Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew. The wind destroyed structures standing all around. The damage was extensive. The screams of the people affected by the destruction could be heard everywhere. Even though it was only afternoon, the sky quickly darkened along with everything that was happening. I could hardly see anything around me.I didn't know where I landed, but I was sure it was far away from where I started. I held onto my left thigh because it was in pain from being trapped under the heavy debris that had fallen from the houses. I tried to transform into a wolf, but my body couldn't handle it. So, I had no choice but to use my powers.I focused my palm on the large object resting on my left leg. I unleashed my power and slowly lifted it off the ground. Then, I directed my hand in the opposite direction and with all the force of my power, I pushed the object away from me.Using my powers, I conjured orange magical dust that glowed, creating a faint light in the surroun
