"Of course! Come in," he said, guiding me to his desk and offering me a glass of water.I broke down in front of him, sobbing uncontrollably. "I don’t know how to explain this," I said, covering my face with my hands.The sheriff waited patiently, letting me cry, giving me the time I needed to collect myself.Finally, gathering my courage, I spoke up. "Someone tried to rape me at the chapel," I said, my voice barely more than a whisper. I looked up, meeting his gaze, my eyes pleading for understanding.Sheriff Scott’s face turned pale. "I am so sorry, Ms. Murphy, I am so sorry this happened to you," he said, rubbing his face with his hands, clearly distressed."Can you explain what exactly happened?" he asked gently.I knew I had to lie, at least until I learned the whole truth. So I began with a deep breath, "Dominic and I went to the Chapel for ghost hunting," I said."We got separated, and I ended up in the chapel. I was mesmerized by that place, so I somehow reached the center of
Oh my! Goosebumps spread all over my body. Victoria, just turn around and head to your class. You don't want to ruin this one and only chance!I told myself and paced toward the class, stumbling and sometimes stepping on my own toes.In the class, our teacher, Mr. Evan Redwood, stood there before us, teaching us about the history. He was even more attractive than Dominic, but for me, only Dominic was the one who made my heart pound like a drumbeat. However, his knowledge was even more captivating than Dominic's for me.I turned around and quickly made my way toward the classroom, stumbling and occasionally stepping on my own toes. Inside the classroom, our teacher, Evan Redwood, stood before us, captivating us with his lesson on history. As the class settled into their seats, Mr. Redwood began with "Ladies and gentlemen, today we delve into one of the most fascinating eras in history—the Renaissance," his voice carrying a hint of excitement."A time of rebirth, creativity, and cultur
"Mom, you were right! I always wondered why I was going through all of this, but now I understand. As a reward very handsome guy asked me out at a party tonight!" I exclaimed, bouncing on my toes.Her eyes welled up with tears at my happiness.That evening, I dressed modestly, going for a loose pink shirt and leaving my hair down.I was too shy to wear anything revealing, so I tucked my hair behind my ear and headed to the address I needed to visit.Upon arriving at the house, I noticed it was completely dark. A shadowy figure ran inside with a candle in hand."Dominic?" I called out as I entered.Suddenly, I felt another figure approaching from behind. I turned around, only to be startled by a person in a grizzly bear costume leaping at me.I let out a scream and fell to the ground, realizing it was just a prank as I felt the fur.However, I soon realized there were multiple people in costumes surrounding me.Before I could react, a man's voice echoed through the room, "Hey!" he ente
After two days had passed, most people seemed unbothered by my disappearance, except for my mother, who loved and cared for me deeply.Posters of me were plastered everywhere, but it wasn't until two days of silence that I felt a sudden rush of air being forced back into my body.I awoke to find myself under a tree in a cave with an opening above, still dressed only in my undergarments.I could hear a woman's voice reciting a mysterious and poetic incantation."Vitam revocare ex tenebris,In lucem etiam redire.Anima revirescit,Mortem devictam sentire."Every inch of my being throbbed with pain as my wound slowly began to heal, causing the skin around it to stretch uncomfortably.The broken bones in my body shifted back into place, mending themselves.I couldn't help but moan and squirm, overwhelmed by a mix of confusion, restlessness, and unease.As the sensations faded, tears welled up in my eyes, dampening my hair.I reached out to touch the ground, trying to figure out where I wa
"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

"Anything!" They spoke at once."Not now, I'll let you know when the time comes," I exclaimed.As I glanced at the time displayed on my phone, a sense of urgency washed over me. "I must go see Mr. Redwood immediately. His grandmother and her caretaker were tragically murdered last night!" I exclaimed, rushing, making my way out.Victoria's eyes widened in shock, exclaiming, "Oh my God!"Dominic was equally shaken, replied, "I had no idea either!"Upon returning to the house, I noticed that Mr. Redwood's car was parked outside. I approached his door and knocked. He emerged from inside and fixed his gaze on me as if he had witnessed something both dreadful and captivating at once. His eyes mirrored the conflicting emotions he was experiencing.Despite his previous promise to himself to never see me again, the heart has a way of longing for what it desires.He made way for me by leaving the door open and stepping with his back against the door.As I entered, it felt as though we were mee
"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. My eyes fluttered open, and a sense of unease washed over me.I reached for the lamp and switched it on, finally able to see my surroundings. To my horror, I spotted three scorpions in my room - one on the floor, another on the curtain, and the third one's tail visible as it climbed up the bed.Reacting quickly, I jumped off the bed and turned on the light. But as soon as I turned back, the scorpions had vanished.Needing to use the bathroom, I sat on the toilet seat and rubbed my e
He sucked in a breath, his eyes darkening with desire. I leaned in closer, feeling the heat radiate from his body, and whispered, “Did it work?”His hand desperately wrapped around my waist as he pulled me closer. “Only one way to find out.” His breath was heavy and deep, a mix of longing and anticipation.A shiver ran down my spine as I held on to him tightly, feeling the storm of emotions in his body language.Our eyes locked, and our hearts began to beat in perfect rhythm. "If you are the reward of all the suffering I've endured, I can suffer all my life, just to end up with you," he said, cupping my face in his hands. His touch was electric, sending waves of heat through my body.Our eyes still locked and sparkling with unshed tears, I never knew how much he loved me until now. He leaned closer, our breaths clashing against one another, my heart thudded loudly as all the other sounds faded away.And that's when our lips met once more, not for the first time, but this time charged
Luna's eyes widened at first, then softened as she looked at him. Evan’s eyes remained low, fixed on the ground. “I have no one else left,” he began, his voice heavy with sorrow. “You know how my parents were killed, and then I lost my Granny too. Having you around finally gave me some relief. Even though I don’t know you that well, having a family around—a sister figure—felt so much better.But seeing you suffer, I somehow blame myself for all of it. If he wasn’t trying to track me down, he wouldn’t have cut out your tongue.” He closed his eyes, and a tear slipped down his cheek.“Hey, Evan,” Luna said gently, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder. “You don’t know Hunter like I do. He is after every supernatural being, so even if you weren't here, he would have found another reason to hurt us!I once fled because of him. And because of him, I had to abandon you. It was my responsibility to look after you and train you, but I’m sorry.I still feel remorse over leaving you behind.”
Faces around the room froze, mouths open and eyes wide with terror as the sound of his cracking and shifting bones echoed across the classroom. The students began to scream.Evan growled, turning around in a panic. His eyes, filled with fear, revealed his half-man, half-wolf form.“Back off, you beast!” the ginger-haired guy shouted, stepping forward with a circular amulet that seemed to terrify Evan.“You don’t have to worry about it. He won’t hurt you. I’m a supernatural hunter, and I came here to seize this creature!” he yelled, trying to reassure everyone.My eyes raced across the room, and I took a deep breath, deciding in an instant what to do. “Victoria!” I called out to her, knowing she’d do anything to help me. She whispered something, and suddenly, the chandelier above the ginger-haired guy shattered, crashing down. He jumped aside to protect himself.Seizing the moment, I rushed toward Evan, grabbed his hand, and we sprinted out of the school.The screeching of tires caught
Afterward, Evan settled into the guest room, which was right beside the kitchen. I went upstairs to take a shower, the warm water washing away the dirt and tension of the day.As the water cascaded over me, I replayed the events on the terrace. Dominic’s transformation, his aggression, and his regret. My body trembled, not just from the memory of his grip, but from the intense emotions that had pushed him to the edge. It was terrifying.After my shower, I slipped into something comfortable and quietly made my way down to the kitchen. My wet hair cascaded down one shoulder, droplets dripping against my skin.As I entered, I saw Evan standing by the counter, his hair still damp, and a towel draped casually around his neck. He looked up and smiled, a smile that lately seemed to carry a deeper meaning, his eyes smoldering with a seductive intensity.“Do you need anything?” I asked, a playful smile tugging at my lips.“I just need a glass of water,” he replied, shrugging casually.“Really?
We were still entangled in a passionate kiss when my phone rang, jolting us both. We pulled back, chuckling at the sudden interruption and the awkwardness of the moment."It’s Mom," I said, taking three deep breaths before answering. “When are you going to get back?” she demanded, skipping any greetings. No hi, no hello, just straight up interrogation.“I’m on my way!” I replied, rolling my eyes slightly. “Is Mr. Redwood there yet?” I asked, winking at him. He smiled, a glimmer of amusement in his eyes.“No, he isn’t. You should call him and ask if he’s coming or if he’s changed his mind,” she responded before hanging up.I turned to him, placing both hands under my chin. “Where are you, Mr. Redwood?”He sighed, pursing his lips. “You know, being called Mr. Redwood by you right after kissing you feels awkward.”I laughed softly. “Okay, okay! Evan, tell me, where are you? I just promised my mom I’d ask you where you are!”He smiled, a mischievous spark in his eyes. “I’m in the trance o
Her chest heaved with loud, deep breaths, and small grunts escaped her lips. First, her left knee twisted, then her right knee twisted in the opposite direction.One by one, all her joints began to twist awkwardly, the transformation more painful than Mr. Redwood’s. Her entire body's bones made a series of sickening clicks.She twisted and arched, fur sprouting from her skin, and fangs emerging from her gums.Unlike Mr. Redwood, Luna did not become a full wolf. She transformed into a half-wolf, half-human hybrid, completely covered in fur and muscle.Her eyes, filled with anger, locked onto us as she tried to stand, but the silver leash around her neck began to burn her skin. She screamed in agony, and we watched in horror as her tongue, once severed, slowly began to grow back.She let out a bone-chilling howl, so powerful that every piece of glassware in Viviana's house shattered into millions of shards.The sound was deafening, a primal cry of pain and anger that echoed through the
Mr. Redwood’s bones began to pop and crack, a horrifying symphony of transformation. Veins snaked around his neck, his jaw wriggling as if trying to break free from his skin.His eyes squeezed shut, and he faced the ceiling, every muscle in his body tensing and twisting.The pain was written all over his contorted features, his skin bruising as his joints shifted and twisted brutally.Against Viviana’s magic, Mr. Redwood pushed through his limits, grabbing his collar and ripping his shirt apart. His knees cracked and shifted, muscles rearranging with agonizing slowness.His moans echoed through the empty room, a haunting sound that sent shivers down my spine. We all stood frozen, watching in horror.Viviana's voice broke through the noises of cracking bones. “Hurry up! I can’t hold him much longer; he’s too strong!”Sheriff Scott and Dominic came into action, rushing toward Mr. Redwood.They each grabbed one of his arms, but he fought against them, grunting and growling. After a strug
Viviana smiled at us, her eyes soft with understanding. "You can rest here as long as you need. By nightfall, we'll perform the task to help Luna."I held Evan's hands once more, my heart pouring into my smile. "You should get some rest. I'll head back, inform my mom that I'm safe, and then I'll go to the café before returning here."He smiled back, his grip on my hands firm and reassuring. I turned to Viviana, my expression serious. "I'm leaving him here because I trust you. I don't want anything to happen to him."Viviana placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "He is important to us, too. I will protect him with my life."She then turned to Sheriff and Dominic, her tone shifting to one of command. "I want you all here before moonrise. Bring a strong leash and chain—go for silver if possible. Victoria will stay here with me." She looked at Victoria, who nodded in agreement.Afterward, we scattered once again. Sheriff and Dominic went to the black market to gather a silver leash and
I felt a pang of guilt as I finished my statement. Lying didn't sit well with me, but I had come to understand that sometimes lies were necessary to save lives.As I left the room, the Sheriff placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder and said, "I promise, we will avenge them."Now, let me tell you what actually happened. After taking the blood jars and candles, the Sheriff started the fire in the basement.The flames consumed the bodies completely, ensuring they couldn't be identified as supernatural.He took the candles to Viviana, and once I had given my statement, my Mom was informed that I was at the police station.Sheriff Scott's plan worked perfectly, thwarting Hunter's sinister intentions. This also bought Viviana and Victoria enough time to figure out how to help Luna. When my Mom came to pick me up, I used her phone to call Victoria and update her on the situation."We have found a solution for Luna!" Victoria's voice filled with both joy and tension. "The good news is, we ne
