“What do you want from me?” she asked.
I know she’s Niah.
“Is this how you welcome your guests? With a knife on their back? Quite peculiar.”
I have proven that I’m not a righteous judge of character.
“I’m sorry to tell you I’m a better actor than you are. So, tell me. What do you want?” she said with agitation in her voice.
“I never know that Demis are violent without a reason… Put that thing down while I’m still being nice.”
I heard her sarcastic chu
Vad’s Point of View Pieces of chips crackled as the girls munched the fried potatoes and licked the cheese on the tip of their fingers. The crispy fried chips may look the same as what we have on Earth, but it tastes better. We circled all over the round table as they exchanged sassy conversation. They sat with their legs crossed and chin up like a well-groomed lady. It’s something that the current generation on Earth lacks.The girl with curly hair delightfully spoke.“Are you ready for tomorrow’s event?”The girl with round glasses smiled at her.“Yes. I’m so excited.”“I can’t wait to see the fascinating firewor
“What have you discovered so far?” I asked.I crossed my arms as I gazed at her, waiting for valuable information. We went farther away from her chick named Niah. Although I couldn’t bear to think about the physical attachment that they had earlier while she’s using my body, this is not the time to argue about how much I dislike it.“I can forgive the disrespect that you did for my personal space, as long as you tell me the things I need to hear,” I added with a tone of dismay.Her brows furrowed as she exhaled. The magnitude of her irritation was oozing.“Personal space? Sojin held your hand,
When Niah was crowned as the newest Watcher of their kind, they danced the ceremonial coronation. They formed a circle on the sand and placed six candles around it. Niah stood inside the circle with a wide smile. The Animies and Demis surrounded her as they chanted the ritual. They performed a tribal dance with the rapid beat of the drums.It was like watching a musical show in a theatre. The full moon shined the brightest, but red spots crawled over it like bloodbath was about to happen.The feast began at 1:00 am. It was the weirdest time to eat dinner, and I don’t have an appetite. Kylo and I have separate cottages because she chose to stay beside Niah, while Sojin sat beside me. They set a variety of dishes on a long and narrow refectory table,
Kylo’s Point Of ViewNiah was delighted after her coronation. Every day, she was bubbly. Seeing her happy about a misfortune that she doesn’t know bothers me. The demis bow down to her every time she passes by and smile at her. She has gained their respect and gratitude.I can’t tell her they’re going to kill her, especially that I don’t have any evidence to prove our claim. I have a bad feeling about it.“Kylo!”It shocked me when Niah appeared out of nowhere. I dropped the book that I was reading and it fell to my feet.“Aww!” I ached in pain as I shook my left foot.Niah laughed at me.“Why are you so surprised? And what are you reading?” she asked.She walked towards me and grabbed the book in my hand.“Dating 101? I never knew you like this stuff,’ she teased.“Well, the books here are limited to l
Ever since the beginning, Wagner despised the idea of love. He’s the arrogant type who never lays a finger on women like they’re the most disgusting creature in the world. At first, I couldn’t understand why. But his reaction today made me realize maybe he can’t find love in women, because he’s into men. Seeing how he wants to protect Sojin from our mess, answers all my doubts.“What’s wrong with liking Sojin? He’s our leader. He’s a great man, and I saw how affectionate he was towards Vad. I’m a little envious of it,” Niah said.Wagner massaged his forehead with the fingertips of his right hand as he closed his eyes. I could sense the tension flowing from him.“I will not force you to do as I say, but you have to come up with an idea to distrac
Niah tightened her grip on my shirt. It was not my first time seeing an awful sight of mounds of skeletons, but I guess it’s her first.“Do you know this place?” I asked.I gulped as sweat soaked the back of my shirt, though the humidity was freezing. The place felt like poltergeists haunted it for a very long time.“I-I do not know…”Why is there a basement under the library? Who else knew this place? Who are these corpses?I looked intently at Niah as I held her cheeks. Her eyes were on the verge of crying.“Listen. Pull yourself together. We have to get out of here as soon as possible before anyone notices our disappearance, especially Luxferre and Vad,” I said.I hugged her and caressed her back.“Calm down. I’m here, you’re not alone. Remember that you are the chosen one. You need to be strong for your people.”Her heart
Vad’s Point of ViewI haven’t seen Kylo for 8 hours. My gut tells me they’re in trouble. Before Luxferre raised his head to enter the library, the wall opened, and I saw them. I saw Kylo and Niah hopped in a huge cabinet and it sank under the ground.I don’t know what’s going on. This place has a lot of twists and turns. Sometimes, the walls shake and a path reveals itself.I found Vitton sewing dresses with her bare hands. She’s a blond girl with deep blue eyes. Vitton looks innocent and harmless among others. She glanced at the window of her room where I was peeping and smiled.I opened the door and entered her room. Her shelf was filled with old books, almost worn out. An ancient lamp serves as light as she sews the dresses of
I gathered all of my strength and pushed Sojin to the ground. He groaned in pain and looked at me with troubled eyes. I flashed a sinister look and clenched my fists.“No one can stop me, not even the deity. Today, blood will spill on my hands. Do not intervene and call for help. Because when you come back, you will bury the bodies of your evil people.”I turned my back on him and entered the basement. As the door slammed behind me, the Animies averted their gaze from me with blood dripping from their mouths. There were four of them. I suddenly remembered what the angel told me.“They crave their own kind.”So this is what he meant by that. I was right. There’s something suspicious about their history. Someone must have fabricated everything
