Confused, standing here in the middle of an empty dark street, dimly illuminated by two streetlights each on either side of me. The chilly cold air blows my hair lightly, and I look around for someone or something else in the dark.

Faintly, there's a sound coming from beyond the light on my right side, then my left. The sound is eerie, like a whistling breeze and breaking bones, causing chills to run down my spine as the sound gets closer on both ends.

Suddenly, I see two shadows approaching f

    Chapter 94“I think you’re ready,” Anora says as she dusts herself off with her hands and I chuckle with my smuggest face, feeling proud after winning a duel. “I’d love to think so too,” I say, cleaning my sword. This is our third and last training session before we leave tomorrow night, and it’s almost midnight. “You trained with Anora,” she says in a very proud but nonchalant voice, the smirk on her face finishing her sentence for her and I roll my eyes, chuckling. “Hopefully we shall meet again, Anora,” I stretch my hand for a shake, and she takes it, looking into my eyes and smiling as she fades away, her face and aura still as beautiful as ever.I pull the branch to leave and as the limbo fades into the forest, I expect to see a guard, but instead I see Sean, standing with both hands in his pockets. “Hey you,” he brings one out to hold me and I nearly collapsed in that hug, his and the soft fabric of his sweatshirt making me sleepy. “Here,” he says, and I see we’re already i

    Chapter 93“Burdened with the responsibility to end a cursed lineage,” Sean sighs as we walk through the forest to his private ground while I tell him my dream, “That’s one hell of a burden.”“To think I was always meant to kill Dylan,” I sigh, still in shock from last night’s revelation. “And neither of my parents were human?”“Right?” He stops walking as we get to the clearing, “Now there’s an explanation for your powers and everything.”“Not everything Sean,” I say, still feeling very disturbed. “What am I? My dad was a werewolf, my mom a sorcerer and me, the fruit of a forbidden union. How come my powers were so suppressed that I never felt a thing? I need to see my mom.”“Hey,” Sean says softly and pulls me in for a warm hug, “One at a time, babe. Let’s survive this war together and together, we’ll figure everything out, okay?”I nod against his chest, not wanting to pull away, but sadly he does.“Now,” he pecks my forehead and walks toward the branch, “go distract yourself with

    “Mom? Where’s dad?” I ask as she tucks me in, and she tenses up immediately. That was the first time I ever asked.“He’s out of town sweetie,” she kisses me and then turns off the light, “Sleep tight baby,” she says, hurrying out of the room avoiding any further questions, and I immediately know something’s wrong.Sighing, I turn the lights back on and cover my small seven-year-old frame with the sheets, a habit I’ve formed for whenever I can’t sleep. I feel someone lying beside me in the blanket and I jump out of my bed landing on the ground. A small elf the size of a watermelon comes out of the sheets. “Don’t you want to know about your dad?” he says, a small green elf wearing this weird little pink outfit and I scurry backwards. “Now child, I’m not here to harm you,” he says, raising both hands, then jumps down, “I’m here to heal you.”He stretches his right hand for me to take, and I point my index finger, seeing how small he is. As soon as our hands touch, I go through this mo

    From her straight long legs and straight long jet black hair to her striking brown eyes and sparkling aura, I almost forget that she was a butterfly just a few minutes ago. She has on a very short purple skirt hugging her small curves with a small top made with the same soft material. A black quiver holding purple arrows hangs over her shoulders as she holds firmly onto a black bow in her right hand, a big shiny silver sword in her left. A very beautiful warrior, almost like an artist’s masterpiece.“Did this really happen or am I dreaming?” I ask when I’m finally able to pick my jaw from the floor.“If only you had dreams as sweet as this,” she says, smirking, her voice firm but so feminine, I don’t even feel offended. Who would feel offended by this beautiful creature in front of me? I’m in awe. “Who are you?” I clear my throat, trying not to act too impressed with how she looks. “Definitely not Pippa or Pip,” she scoffs, and I chuckle.“Anora,” she introduces herself smiling and

    After very long hours, it’s finally dawn and I expect Sean to be here any moment. He seemed excited about showing me this private ground but had to leave to prepare for the war and would be back before sunset. Dressed in long black tights paired with an oversized white T-shirt and a black sports bra. I wore the comfiest sneakers I could find, which turned out to be a forest green color, so I paired it with a matching cross bag, letting my pendant sparkle on my chest. “Checking yourself out as usual, huh?” Sean appears behind me, holding me in his arms, and I seem to be getting really used to his teleportation, seeing as I do not flinch. “How was the meeting?” I say, rubbing his strong large arms around me with my small soft hands.“Productive,” he sighs. “We have just three nights to prepare, though. We leave on the third dawn from now.”“And the people?” I turn to face him, “are they being escorted safely?”“You worry about them, I worry about you,” he turns me around to face him, “

    As usual, everyone stands up as we walk in and sit back down once we’re settled on our thrones. The whole council is present, not just the inner council, and I notice some guards standing by the door, which is unusual but not out of place in these unsafe times.“Apologies for being late,” Sean says, and they all bow a bit in response. “Straight to the matter at hand. Our kingdom is highly unsafe, and yes, I understand we need to fight back, but we also need to protect our people. I do not suggest we wait for them to attack first, because that will endanger our people and kingdom as a whole. Joe, have you checked the map?”“Yes, your highness,” Joe stands, “The Dragullar kingdom is too far a distance to teleport but with our fast race horses, we will travel only a day.”“Good,” Sean responds, “We’ll need some soldiers to stay behind and protect the kingdom. Zara, what’s your take on this?”“Your highness,” she stands and bows a little, “I will get on with that but would like to suggest

    "The book?" I ask, feeling at a loss. "I thought no one knew its whereabouts?""You're right," she answers, "no one does. We've never seen it and have absolutely no idea where it might be if it still exists, but as expected, they don't believe it."Honestly, it's actually hard to believe that no on

    A sudden rush of goosebumps appears all over my arms and my heart beats in a fast rhythm as I stare at myself in the mirror. My hair. It's blonde. Golden blonde. I don't remember dying it or doing anything to it apart from leveling it to shoulder-length, and now I'm blonde.How did this happen?"I

    Standing right in front of the window, staring at the empty and quiet large area with a big black gate separating us from the kingdom, I've come to realize that this truly isn't earth. I'm queen of a supernatural kingdom and I have no one, except Sean, whose anger I have managed to pique. I found h

    "If there's going to be a war, I think enough time has been wasted on the wedding already, and we can't afford more time waste." I start to say with a confidence I didn't know I possess, "Me getting to know the kingdom rules and people is definitely needed at a time like this and that goal can stil
