"You have such captivating gray eyes, and that eyeliner looks absolutely stunning on you!" She complimented me, gently turning me toward the mirror.

I was dressed in a vibrant yellow tank top, paired with a stylish jeans jacket and white pants. With my high heels, I felt like a completely different person from my past self.

As we were halfway through our conversation, we spotted you with your skateboard.

That was the day we first encountered you, and Jeniece whispered to me, "This is the girl!"

Befriending you became our first mission. I had always been used by people I met in the past, which is why I made a promise to myself to never get too close to anyone, no matter what.

But things changed, and I started to develop a deep affection for you. I considered you as my own sister.

Because you were kind to me, no one has ever been that kind to me before.

And about the dark lord, I thought that he wanted to love and protect you. I couldn't imagine in my darkest dreams that his intentions

    "Jules?" she said, looking at me with a puzzled expression. I startled her.Feeling regretful, I apologized, "I am so sorry, Mom. I thought..." I glanced around and continued, "I am sorry, I didn't mean to!" With that, I turned around and hurried toward my room.As I closed the door behind me, I couldn't believe I had snapped at my mom.Despite this strange incident, exhaustion took over, and it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.However, in the middle of the night, I was awakened by a ticking sound.

    This girl possessed an incredibly captivating personality. She stood just a couple of inches shorter than him, with long, curly, dark maroonish blue hair that cascaded down past her hips.Her eyes were big and prominent with mascara and eyeliner, and she had thin lips.She had a slim figure with a little bit of curves, dressed in a black leather jacket, black pants, and a loose navy blue shirt underneath.She was on the verge of sitting on the table when Mr. Redwood suddenly approached her with a knife, warning her, "I won't allow you to sit here until you tell me who you are!" He demanded."This isn't exactly the warmest welcome for someone who just made the best pancakes in the world for you, is it?" She squinted, a smirk playing on her lips. After a brief pause, she finally confessed, rolling her eyes, "Alright, alright! I am your cousin, Luna Redwood!" She introduced herself."You? What are you doing here? So, you're the one who wrote that..." He started to say, but she cut him of

    He wore a crisp white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and an apron around his waist.“Julia, right?” he said with a warm smile. “I’m Mark Thompson, the owner. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”“Nice to meet you too, Mr. Thompson,” I responded, shaking his hand.“Please, call me Mark. Can I get you something to drink? Coffee, tea, maybe one of our famous lavender lattes?” he offered as he sat down across from me.“A lavender latte sounds wonderful, thank you,” I said, grateful for the momentary distraction.Mark signaled to Lila, who nodded and began preparing the drink. “So, Julia, tell me a bit about yourself. What drew you to Muse & Mugs?”I took a deep breath, launching into my carefully rehearsed response.“Well, I’m in high school, and I’ve always had a passion for books and coffee. This is actually my first time applying for a job, and I felt that working here would be a perfect way to gain experience and be part of a community I admire.

    "It's alright, Dominic! It's just Jules!" Victoria reassured him, holding his shoulders and rubbing them."What's wrong with him?" I stepped back, feeling a sense of unease."I believe you're wearing the pendant," Victoria smiled."Yeah, but it's just a..." I began, taking out my pendant and noticing that the smoke inside it was black now."Whoa, what the..." My eyes widened in surprise."This orb contains wolf blood. It repels vampires and keeps away those who wish you harm. It turns black when there's a vampire or danger nearby," she explained. "Now, regarding the spell, I won't be able to perform it unless we have something that belongs to him, like a hair, a piece of skin, or flesh.""Urgh!" I groaned, frustration building up inside me. "I just want to know where he was when it happened," I muttered, gazing up at the sky."Hey! I have an idea!" Victoria snapped her fingers. "You want to confirm if it was he who killed her, right?" she asked.I nodded. "Then we can try something. J

    With everyone on board, who could resist a fun picnic outing? For some reason, I decided to bring my guitar along, perhaps to get some practice in.It wasn't until we were halfway there that Victoria noticed my guitar. "Oh my goodness, you sneaky little baby! You play guitar and didn't mention it to me?" she exclaimed.I simply nodded, causing heads to turn in my direction. I then noticed that Mr. Redwood was also on the bus, but he chose to ignore me, just as I had chosen to ignore him for the rest of my life.“Julia! Julia! Julia!” As the crowd chanted my name, I blushed as I looked across the bus, everyone eagerly waiting for me to play, Mr. Redwood was in front row, alongside with the bus driver, he didn’t see me or he maybe didn’t want to see me, who blames him, everyone could have been properly warned after that night. I was unaware of what the true reason was.When the chants grew louder, I finally covered my ears and laughed. “Okay, okay!” I giggled as I said, “I’ll play a lit

Every aspect of his being was magnificent, a charisma that pulled me toward him.But amidst all of this, I couldn't help but wonder if his grandmother's situation was the reason he was ignoring me.However, his words echoed in my mind, "I am not worried about myself, I am worried about you!" Could it be that he thinks being around him could put me in danger?Suddenly, an idea struck me and I turned to Victoria, pulling her aside. "Do you want to regain my trust?" I asked, holding her hands. She smiled and nodded, saying, "Believe me, more than anything!" She held my hand, too."I'm about to tell you someth

    "Why would you think that?" I shrugged, biting my lip to hide my smile.He rushed toward me, forcefully pushing me against the wall, his voice filled with desperation. "Because you know I love you!" He quickly stepped back, realizing what he had just confessed."What?" My eyes widened, tears welling up.

    It was now important that we visit her immediately. "I guess we're heading to the cafe!" I said to my friends.They looked puzzled, but they followed me. We arrived at the cafe and everything seemed normal, until I spotted Claire by her cabin, motioning for us to come over with two fingers.We made our way to her, and as soon as she took us inside, she led us to her storeroom. What we saw left us breathless - it was Luna, and she was so weak that it seemed like she might not survive if she wasn't taken to the hospital.She was injured; someone must have attacked her. I felt regret for ever doubting her. I rushed to her, but Claire's words caught my attention."She's not speaking, she just wrote this," she said, showing me a note. It read, "Call Julia, don't call anyone else, please!" I looked at Luna, she was barely able to hold up her head and keep her eyes open."Who did this to you?" I asked gently. She couldn't answer; her mouth was sealed shut."Let's take her to the hospital!" I

    We exchanged confused glances, realizing that maybe she's right. Without wasting another second, we rushed out of her home. As we hurried, my phone rang. It was my mom.“Claire has been calling my number over and over again. She has something important to talk about!” Mom said, sounding worried, before hanging up.I looked at my phone and saw multiple missed calls from Claire. “It isn’t time yet,” I mumbled, leaving her a message, “I’ll be there on time!”Our hearts were racing wildly as we made our way back. My heart pounded as we reached his house. Dominic didn't hesitate; he stormed inside, with Victoria and me following closely. We began tearing through the house, moving carpets, checking for hidden doors, anything that could lead us to the basement.Suddenly, Dominic shouted, “Over here!” He had found a trapdoor hidden under an old rug in the living room. It was so well concealed that it was no wonder we missed it the first time.I felt a mix of hope and dread as we opened the do

    “What do we do? Hire a cab?” I looked at my friends, feeling lost and anxious.“No, it won’t get here on time! I have an idea!” Dominic replied, a smirk forming on his lips.Without another word, we sprinted toward the bus station. From there, Dominic carried us, sprinting from tree to tree with astonishing speed. It was like being on a rollercoaster, but only faster, the world blurring around us as we moved.As soon as he dropped us in the front yard of Viviana’s house, Victoria clutched her stomach and bolted toward a dustbin in the corner, vomiting into it.I held my head, trying to steady myself as the world spun around me.“I don’t know how you cannot find it fun!” Dominic chuckled, clearly amused by our discomfort.We made our way to Viviana’s door, which was ajar this time. She was sitting just inside, sleeping on her armchair in front of the door with a shotgun clutched in her hands. The moment we stepped in, she jerked awake, pointing the gun at us.“Whoa!” I shouted, raising

    "Wait!" I yelled, "Why are you helping us?" I asked.He didn't answer, instead, he just kept walking.Dominic and Victoria reached me, and Dominic shrugged. “I think you should tell the Sheriff anyway. If not about that white-haired dude, then about the redhead,” he suggested.“I think we should get out of here as soon as possible!” Victoria clutched her chest. “Something doesn’t feel right!”"Hey!" I held her shoulder, and we followed her advice and decided to reach out to Luna first.When I called her, she picked up right away but seemed busy. She whispered, “I’ll catch up with you guys later!” before excusing herself.“What are we gonna do?” I looked at my friends, worried and confused.“Let’s go to Viviana on our own!” Dominic suggested. “What do you think?” he asked, turning to Victoria.“I have no problem with that!” she nodded, and we left immediately.When we arrived at Viviana’s, her door was locked, unlike before. We knocked, and she opened the door, her expression confused,

    Jade's voice echoed through the air once more, softer this time. "You've succeeded in retrieving them from their memories. Now, return to the real world."The sea began to dissolve around us, and we found ourselves back in the tub, the knives gone, our palms healed. We were drenched, exhausted, but alive. The connection between us had deepened, and we knew what she meant by them being hinges to the door.Jade stood over us, a faint smile playing on her lips. "Well done. But this is only the beginning. There are greater challenges ahead, and you'll need each other more than ever.""What was the purpose of this test?" I stepped out of the tub and dried myself with a towel, I stared at my healed hands with surprise."I wanted to see how all that revelation affected you, how you are going to face him after finding out the truth about yourself, and what you'd choose between your fear and the lives of your loved ones." Jade grinned, helping Victoria out of the water.Then my phone rang, and

    This time, I had to go to the realm of fear once again, and this time, Victoria and Dominic were going with me.We took our boots off and entered the tub. “Present me your palms!” Jade extended her hand, holding a knife in her other hand. We obeyed her and offered our palms to her. At first, she placed my left palm on top of Victoria’s palm and then did the same with my right palm and Dominic’s palm.Then she picked two sharp, thin knives and poked them together in both my hands, piercing through Victoria’s and Dominic’s palms as well. We screamed and grunted with pain, but that was it; she left the knife in our hands, still piercing through our hands when we fainted together.After a while, when we three woke up, we woke up in a strong stormy sea. At first, I swam toward the surface of the water and coughed as I saw ocean waves crashing against one another.I caught my breath and coughed, struggling to find my friends, but one after another waves ran me over, I again reached the top,

    I was left in shock, staring at her in disbelief. "Mom?" I struggled to speak. "How did Dad pass away?" I questioned."He had a heart attack," she replied confidently, but sadness was visible in her eyes."Do you remember his last message?" I tried to dig in."What message?" She raised an eyebrow."Do you recall anything about the blood in the granny's restroom?" I pressed on."Blood? Did you hurt yourself?" She took my hands and examined them."It's nothing, I just... I think I need to rest," I said, holding her hands before retreating to the bed.It was a difficult night, filled with thoughts that kept me awake: "What's got into her?" I couldn't believe anything that happened with Mom.It wasn't just hard for us, but also for Viviana. An image of the map and an unseen presence tormented her, a man's voice echoing in her mind. "You shouldn't have done that," it repeated throughout the night.When morning finally arrived, I headed out for a jog. Later, I explained everything to Domini

    "Let me!" Dominic tenderly cradled her in his arms, carefully adjusting her position on his lap. Gently stroking her hair, he whispered into her ear, "Do you remember that night? The night you turned me into a vampire?" His voice was filled with a mixture of gratitude and affection. He continued, "You saved me that night. Now, it's my turn to save you." With that, he bit his wrist and fed her his blood.She swallowed a mouthful of his blood, feeling a surge of energy, but then she whispered. Her voice barely audible, "Disgusting."Dominic couldn't help but giggle, tears streaming down his face. "That's more like it," he said, his face lighting up. "Now, tell me, what was the spell you used to restore your health every time you fed me?" His tone was gentle, filled with care.She began to whisper something in Latin, and as she did, her body started to heal. Taking a deep breath, she felt a sense of relief wash over her.Dominic wrapped his arms around her, a smile forming on her lips.L

    She whispered an incantation in Latin, then paused and turned toward the sheriff."She is strong, she has not allowed this soul to take complete control of her body yet!" She said."But the longer it remains inside her, the more it will dominate!" After that, she said something else that sent shivers down our spines."I know a way to help her.But there are three things you must know. First, once the ritual begins, there is no turning back.Second, she could die in the process. Third, you have no other choice..." Before she could say anything else, I interrupted her."You make the act of 'killing' sound so simple! Do you have any idea what you just said? Is there any guarantee that she will survive this?" I furrowed my brow and stared at her.Victoria grasped my shoulder and nodded. "Jules! Even if I die, at least the city will be safer. I do not wish to end up like Hunter!" She glanced at the sheriff, who was staring at the ground."I choose to rid myself of it, and you must respect
