It was midnight. Eve and I were on our way to the old warehouse. The university used it to keep old materials like magazines, old books, some wooden furniture, etc.Nothing here was of use, and since it was out of the university’s area, it was the best place to try to travel back in time.I still couldn’t believe we were about to do this. I knew all the risks, but I knew if I didn’t do this. My life would be an empty vase. I needed to know who was telling the truth and who was not.I needed to.“You ready?” Eve asked in a tempting voice. She was hella scared. And it was valid for her to be this scared. I can’t thank her enough for doing something like this for me. I owe her my life.“We meet up with Dario, who was with another person who I’d seen on the playground that evening, playing in the field.”“Okay, let’s get this over with,” Dario speaks as he asks me to get into this circle made of white powder.“What is that?” I ask.“Oh, it’s like a protective shield. This way, no one can
“I said..Do you know the consequences?”“H-how did you know my name?” The woman standing right in front of me was a teacher here. I know because I saw her in the auditorium when we were having our welcoming party.She was of average height. She had black/brown hair and her eye colour was hazel brown, or maybe it was. I couldn’t tell, as it was dark around. She had a simple outfit on, like a pant-suit and her hands were...glowing.She had Eve, Max and Dario under her control, so I could clearly realise that she was a witch.“I know a lot of things you don’t, Ms Lockwood. And it seems like I should tell you some of those. One is not to use magic or any of your supernatural abilities without our consent.”“You and your friends broke our first rule we take very seriously. Let’s chit-chat in the principal's office now.”“No, wait!” She turned to walk towards the university, but I stopped her.“Please, don’t. I can come with you to the principal’s office, but please, not them. They didn’t d
“W-what are you doing here?”, really, Hailey? This is a damn library. He’s got access to it as much as I do. What kind of question is that?“Well, this is a library. I have access to it as much as you do,” Jace replied, leaving me embarrassed like hell.“I..uh...I’m sorry. I’ll go.” Before I walked away, I stared at the book for a few seconds before finally diverting my eyes and walking away.“Wait,” Jace calls out. I turn back to look at him, and I’m sure that I saw a hint of a smile.“Yeah?”“Were you...looking for this book?” He says while showing me the front page of the book he was holding.“Actually, yes. I was. But it’s okay. You can go through it and let me know.”“Or maybe we can read through it together? Because I don’t really know how much longer would it take for me to read it.”“I..” I was surely taken aback by his words. Because wait, let me just get this straight. First, he curses me, by saying he doesn’t want to talk to ‘Creatures like me’. Then he blames me for spying
--Next Morning--“Ugh...my head. It hurts,” Eve murmurs to herself, but of course, I could hear her. Even with her all mumbling to herself, her voice still had the stamina that could blast off speakers.“Are you feeling okay?” I ask her.“I..Uh..I don’t know. I feel like I had a really weird dream last night. Was there a party yesterday?”“No, why?”“I..don’t know. It feels as if I’m hungover. Like I’ve been up all night or something.”I look around to avoid eye contact, but I knew it wasn’t gonna help her confusion. So I got up and walked over to her, touching her forehead and checking if she caught a fever or not.“Your temperature seems fine. Do you still want to do over to the medical?”“No, it’s fine. I’m okay. Anyway. June and I were talking the other day about the upcoming university tournament. You in?”“Ugh, I’m not sure about that, Eve. I’ve never been into sports that much.”Suddenly, the alarm on Eve’s phone rings.“Well, it’s time for my class. See you after?” She says, a
“So, what exactly did you want to read about this?” I asked Jace, because the second we sat on a bench together and opened the first page, it felt like I never even existed.Jace took a long pause and finally turned to me.“Did you ever hear about the war?”“The war between werewolves and vampires?”“Yes, and do you know what caused it?”Okay, two things could happen right now. Either he knows the true reason behind all that unwanted senseless death or there is a whole other reason I don’t know of.“I...heard some parts of it. Why?”“Okay, there’s this person who was a tri-brid.”“A tri-brid? You mean..?”“A werewolf, vampire, and a witch.”“Wait, do they ever existed?”“They did. So, there was an entire clan of tri-brids in the late 19’s. But since they were so powerful and they could literally manipulate, torture or use the other clans, every creature was at their lowest. Because they misused their powers terribly.”“They would often go and raid homes, torture men and women, even ch
“Who the?!”“Shut up, bitch!” She slammed me against the wall once again and tried scaring me off with her fangs.“Who even the hell are you?!” I fluttered because now I was losing air.“I’m someone who you can never, ever be. And I’m here to warn you. Keep your dog's hands off of my man, or you’ll be chewing your own bone the next minute. Got it?”“I..” My vision started to blur off, and she wasn’t backing off. Her grip on me grew stronger and stronger.“I..I can’t..”“LEAVE HER ALONE!” I hear voices as she finally lets go of me. I coughed as I felt a pair of hands on my shoulder.“Are you okay, Hailey?” It was Eve and June.“Back off, Victoria. It’s your first day and you can’t even keep your c*cksucking teeth to yourself?”“Oh, Juney. I never thought you’d be taking the side of an outcast. A dog. Come on, love. She’s a pet.”“Well then, we’re no celestial beings, right? So back off. You don’t want me to tell Jace about this dirty act of yours?”June and Victoria stared at each othe
"What...the..?!"Suddenly, I felt as if I was being pulled down from the floor. I didn’t know if there was any surface beneath me or just...endless road of terror.“No, no, no, no,” I screamed and closed my eyes to accept my fate when suddenly, I felt a pair of arms around my waist.I opened my eyes and saw him.“VALENTINE?!” he was smiling at me, holding me in his arms. His grip was strong, yet the most romantic one. He was looking deep into my eyes as he chuckled.“Were you scared, My Love?”“I..I.” I don’t know why I couldn’t speak a single word. Watching him, feeling his grasp on me, was making me much more curious about him.It felt as if he was using his charm as magic on me. To impress me, make me feel things I’ve never felt before. Getting me to like his existence around me more.“Hailey?” He calls out my name.“Y..yeah?” I come out of my unconsciousness as I figure Valentine is now laughing at me in silence. He finally set me down on the grass and plucked a flick of my hair b
“God, you’re driving me crazy, Hailey.”Valentine gripped my hands and slid them above my head as I lay back under his command. He moved his face closer and stared right into my eyes.“Can’t say I wasn’t waiting for this moment to arrive, Hailey. I wanted you so badly. I never thought I’d be living this amazing and sensual moment with you.”He killed the distance between us, and once again brushed his soft lips against mine. It definitely grew stronger.Suddenly, I feel one of his hands on my stomach, reaching down to get a hold of my waist, then even lower. He managed to slide his fingers underneath my nightwear, under my panties, as I stared into his eyes, almost terrified.Valentine Stopped. He smiled and retrieved his hand.“You never experienced this, have you?”I stay silent for a while before admitting.“I haven’t.”I thought he’d get all awkward and act foolish or aloof, but he did just the opposite. Valentine cupped my cheek and picked me up in his arms instantly.“Woah,” I h
