--The University--A few days went by. Yeah, I didn’t talk to Ms Wallace just yet. Sure, she and our principal frequently came to check up on me.Honestly, it was both a gracious gesture and a ‘please, just leave me alone’ emotion. At one point, I was indebted that I was being loved and cared for. But sometimes, it was like, okay, I get it. But please, don’t treat me like I can’t handle this on my own.I just didn’t want to rely on anyone.All six of us became a group. Victoria lay low for a while because there was a chance she get expelled. Some of her friends even left her side after the tournament. Her terrible decision led two students to lose their eyesight and even their powers.She pushed them so hard that the energy they used led them to bleed internally from their brain. It was terrible.Since she had a royally known background, her misleading was ignored. But even the smallest mistake can turn her life upside down right now.“Hey, Hailey,” Eve called out to me.“Yeah?”“Are
Before I could respond to this news, the bell rang. It was time for our classes. June sighed repulsively and calmed her anger down.“Look, Hailey. I know you must hate me. And I’m sorry that I clashed with you like I did just now. But...that guy gave me the vibes that I did not like. And..You have to know that I’m just looking out for you. You..know that, right?”I stared at her, and quickly diverted my eyes. Maybe she misunderstood him. If Valentine was a tribrid. He would have told me. But...June is only one step backwards for being a tribrid herself. She knows what she’s talking about.“I..” I fluttered as she recognized my uneasiness, changing the subject.“Okay, look. We don’t have to talk about this right now. And don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about your secret prince charming. Just...try not to hide stuff from us, Hailey. We’re all your friends here.”As soon as June let out her frustration, she walked out of the bathroom, leaving me alone. I knew she was disappointed. That
Ms Wallace stared at me for a while. Felt like she was trying to figure out whether to help me or not. After, the big act, I put it in front of her and Dad.“Look, I know that I have no reason to ask you something like this. Not after the way I treated you at my Mother’s funeral, but.”I stare at her eyes and let it all out.“Ms Wallace, these nightmares that I always have are the worst. Every emotion I feel, I feel in reality. Every injury I get, I feel the pain of it on my body. Every person I see or meet, it feels like I know them, but I actually don’t.”“I don’t know at this point who to trust and who to not. It all feels real, but then I wake up in the real world. And I just sit there and curse myself for being this different. I don’t want to be this person.”“Adult life or college life. It’s all about finding the real you. How can I even do that when I don't even know if I’m living in the real world or not?!”She stayed quiet, maybe addressing the scenario before speaking again.
“Well, if you’re trying to send me on the right path, and if you’re trying to help me live my life. Let’s start by telling me who you are.”The old woman smiled. It was almost like she was toying with me, which made me fucking uncomfortable. She talks about trust and I don’t even know who she is.Or maybe, maybe I do?“Who are you?” I asked in a dominating voice.“I..am the ancient one. I am the immortal one. I am...Constellation.”“Constellation? As in stars?”“As in an ancient creature, young one.”“Creature? Well, that’s not new to me. We’re all creatures here..just not old.”“You’ve grown. A lot faster and more intelligent than I thought. Only, you’ve become weak.”“Weak? Well, if you helped me in some way, it didn’t make my life much easier. It made my life worse. I have these freaking nightmares and visions that I shouldn’t even suppose to be seeing. And now you’ve come again, saying you wanna help?”“No thanks. I’m way okay being weak than begging for your help.”“Who said you’
Prom was coming. Before that, our mid-semesters were coming. Was I prepared? Hell no. I wasn’t. Sure, I was doing great in my lectures. I paid attention and was, an A-grade student. But..I guess there was something that was keeping me from studying.That old lady. Constellation.I knew Ms Wallace knew something about her. Something that no one else knows about. I just knew it, deep in my heart. But I guess I can’t really blame her for not telling me. I was keeping a few secrets from her myself, and so was she.We were just playing...safe.A few days went by. Ms Wallace and I agreed not to talk about this to anyone else. Not Eve, not June. not anyone. Not ever my Dad. And I accepted her rules. It was always better this way. I’ve already put a risk on Eve before. Not in hell would I do it once again.And Valentine? Can’t say I didn’t miss him, but I sure in hell didn’t call out to him.Maybe...just maybe June was right? What if he was a tribrid? What if he was, and is that why he is sti
“Yes, yes, I did. I found you because you told me so.” I say to her. It was always like she was impressed. Impressed by my actions, my courage and the audacity to bring and risk someone else’s life too.Somehow, I knew that Constellation knew about Ms Wallace around. Of course, if someone’s asking you to come visit them discreetly, they want to be discreet. Me, bringing Ms Wallace was a break of trust and boundaries.“I see you brought a friend with you.” She says, pointing in a direction behind me.“You were the only one who said no to trust people, so I guess that’s all I’m doing. For now, I don’t trust you, but I do trust Ms Wallace that, if something goes sideways, she’ll help.”Constellation smiled, exposing her gritted blackish teeth. Even her tongue was dark. It was almost like she was a dark witch, not a good one. Her aura was the only thing that led me to think this was a bad idea.“Follow me,” she says.“Follow you where?!”“You’ll find out soon,” and just like that, she sta
--2005--All of them were there. I couldn’t know, realise, or had any recollection of why everyone was here. All I knew was, that there was a woman in a red and black gown, and she had one of her hands on a boy’s shoulder who was standing right in front of her.My pack, the Moonshade Pack, was here. I could see fairies, witches, all the creatures that ever existed in our world.My Mom picked me up and held me in her arms. I was only 5 back then.“Mommy, this hurts,” I say while I show her the wound on my arm. She smiled weakly, shushed me and paid attention towards the others.Finally, I see my father and an older man signing a piece of paper. The paper was given by an old lady, who was accompanied by one younger lady and the other in between young and old.“Mommy, what is happening here?” I ask my mother. She looked down at me, smiled once again, and finally spoke.“It’s for your protection, little one. Don’t you worry. Daddy, Mommy and your pack will always protect you. No matter wh
--2018--Destiny.Some say it’s stupid. Some say it’s valid. For me? It was both stupid and valid. But mostly, it was something that I was willing to experience in every single lifetime I had left.Because it made me reunite with him. The one who almost killed me when we were kids. Who was meant to be my enemy. Who we were always meant to ignore or fight and move on. But again.Destiny.Destiny has its ways of bringing you all levels of sadness and a massive amount of happiness.--It was finally the day. The day when I’ll be getting sent off to my boarding school. Being a werewolf and not figuring out how to shift properly was something my parents didn’t appreciate. At first, they had to fight with our whole pack, as I looked like an outsider to them.I gotta say, instead of making me go all rogue, they supported me. They fought the whole family and..here am I. All because I couldn’t shift into my werewolf form. Not after that day.My parents never gave up. However, at the age of 18,
