Atacia's POV:
H-how did that get there?!
I looked at Cassie. She was shocked by what she saw. I immediately pulled her away from that place.
“A-Atacia, please tell me that wasn’t true. Please tell me I’m just dreaming.” Terrified Cas said.
S**t! I need to talk to Ms. Anthea later!
“C-Cia, w-why is there a corpse there? W-what exactly is this place? I-I thought it’s safe here.” Cassie stuttered. Her breath is shaking, so is her body.
“Let’s go to the dorm first.” That’s all I said. F**k it! Why are the corpses in there?! Why did they put the corpses there?!
Cassie just followed me even though she was wondering, she’s spacing out.
When we opened the door of our dorm, we were so shocked.
In this room there are four doors. We peaked into one of the rooms and were even more surprised to see that there were things there. Used by men! Shoot! So that means there are four people who’s going to use this dorm?! Why didn’t Ms. Anthea tell us?! Why the heck didn't she warn us?!
I just dragged Cassie into a room that I’m sure I’m the owner because I saw my suitcase there. When we entered, I immediately locked the door and looked back at her.
“Cia, what is this place? My minds in a mess. Earlier, when I came out, I saw someone fighting using a sword. A real freakin’ sword Cia! Then—then I saw a corpse. And why is it forbidden to go out?! Atacia I’m confused. I—we entered here because it’s safe but what the heck is happening?!” Cassie said in panic.
“Cassie calm down! I’ll explain if you calm down.” I told her.
It took us an hour before she calmed down. But her breath isn't. So is the shaking of her body.
“Now I am calm, explain everything to me. Please.” Cassie said seriously.
I looked at her first. She fought with a stare, so I gave up myself. I averted my eyes and explained.
“Heather Academy is a dangerous academy. This is where fighters and charmers go. Only a few knew this school and only a few could get in. Only the persons who have skills and can fight. And those who have what they call charms. Charms are like a magical power. Didn’t you say you saw someone fighting? That’s training. Heather Academy has wars happening every night. And when the so-called KING wanted to, he will make the war last for the whole day. It’s forbidden to go out because we need to keep the normans safe from us charmers. Now, I need you to protect yourself.” I gave her a long explanation.
It took her a lot of time before she digested it inside her mind. And when she looked at me, pain and fear are written all over her eyes.
“So, you knew all about this? And you are telling me to protect myself? How can I?! Atacia are you out of your mind?!” She said tearfully.
“You can’t fool me, Cassie. I know you can protect yourself. We may be childhood best friends, but there’s still a lot of things you don’t know about me. Our parents sent us here for a reason. We entered here because of the same reason. And I know you know what I’m talking about. I know who you are inside the Hell Cell. NAd I also know you have charms.” I had a sad statement with her.
“Then tell me! What do I not know about you, huh?! Explain it to me!” She shouted at me while crying. But I could still read the shock in her eyes because of what I said about who she is inside Hell Cell and about her charms.
I immediately approached and comforted her. After a few minutes, she stopped crying. I sighed before standing up.
“If you really want to know me, follow me then.” I said coldly. I know she was confused on how I treated her. I never treated her coldly. She never seen me like this. Cold and emotionless. She was used to me being jolly, happy and a joking person.
I walked to the bedroom door. I went out and she followed me. It’s a good thing we don’t have anyone here yet, so we don’t have to worry.
I approached a bookshelf and looked closely at the books lying there. There was a book that caught my attention. It is very thick, about the thickness of a dictionary and the cover is red. I grabbed it and pulled. And I was right in my suspicion. This will open the tunnel to the private training room of ours. I turned on the light and walked down the stairs. I turned to Cassie and saw that she was stunned.
“Are you coming, or should I leave you there?” I asked coldly. Her eyes widened, she finally came back to her senses and quickly followed me.
We walked down the stairs. When we reached the end there was a door again and it has a lock. A keypad lock. There's a number engraved at the wall above it. If you won't look closely, you won't notice it. I typed in the password and opened it.
When I opened the door, I quickly pulled Cassie and made her lie down while I caught the katana that was thrown in our direction.
I threw it in the air and held it upside down. The one I used to hold was the blade, now it’s its handle.
Cassie stood up with a shocked face. But eventually became emotionless. Her eyes became cold. She became serious.
I first rolled the katana in my hand and then looked at who had thrown it. Two men were present. One of them has his hair dyed in red and the other one in ash gray. That ash gray hair seems to be familiar to me. And then a memory suddenly flashed in my mind. To my annoyance I threw it at him. Well, not directly to him. Just on the wall above his head. He was surprised and stunned at what I did.
F**k! He’s the one I bumped into at the Hospital! The one who didn’t apologize! why the heck, of all places, I'll see him again here?!
“S**t!” Suddenly the red-haired man shouted. When I looked at him, he was running towards the side of the other guy. I looked at why and wasn’t surprised by the dagger stuck in the place where he was standing a while ago. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Cassie is the one who threw it.
“Who the hell are you?” The guy who owns the ash gray hair asked.
His question made me smirk.
“I’m your Death.” I said. We all looked at each other seriously. No one's blinking. We we're shooting daggers at each other with our looks. Everyone's so quiet. But my look stayed on the other guy.
D**n this guy.
Cassie’s POV:“I’m your Death.”After Cia said that she suddenly threw a dagger that I didn’t see where she pulled out. Like me, she only threw it a handful away from the feet of the two men. I saw on of them flinched and the other just stood there as if he's a statue.I just looked at them with no emotion to be read on my face. Cia knows me very well, but I don’t. Even being her childhood best friend came I still don’t know her. But today, looks like I know her already.“Y-you’re—" He didn’t finish what he said when the one with the gray hair spoke.“Death.” He said.That means she was the one I fought when I was still going to Hell Cell? Hell Cell is where gangsters fight. Well not all of them are gangsters. Some are individuals. And I’m one of the non-gangsters. I’ve been training there for 2 y
Atacia’s POV:Here we are now in the cafeteria with the two boys. Actually, only Liam should really be with us. But he forced Drake so the four of us were together. The atmosphere at our table was very quiet. No one wants to talk. I prefer this one.“Hurry up. The Night of Bloods at nine o’clock in the evening.” Said Liam. We didn’t answer and hastened to eat. I looked at my watch, it was 8:40 p.m. I looked around and was surprised to see that the students here had colored hair. Even before I ask, Drake spoke.“Everyone here don’t choose what color will they have; the color chooses its owner.” He said that it looked like I was the only one who could hear it.“I didn’t ask, right?” I said. I looked at him and I was surprised that he was staring at me. So, I immediately raised an eyebrow at him. I noticed that all eyes were on us.I wa
Atacia’s POV:F**k this stupid blush! I said to myself for a hundredth time! This isn’t right! Why am I blushing to that guy?!“Are you done?” Julia asked and rolled her eyes. I glared at her but that didn’t scare her. She’s still smirking.“What now?” I said angrily to her.“Maybe you forgot we have your friend here.” She said while smirking.What the heck?! Aren’t we done yet?! My goodness!“I’m the one you need, right? Release her. Because it’s a characteristic of the weak to take someone as bait.” My words annoyed her.Her previously smirking face was replaced by a glare. I smirked.“You b***h!” She shouted. She pushed Cassie aside and rushed at me. I just smirk and when she got closer, I immediately kicked her thigh, then turn around and k
Atacia's POV:It’s 3 in the morning but still, I can’t sleep. Something is bothering me, but I don’t know what.Our training will start at 5 a.m. Since I couldn’t really sleep, I decided to just get ready. I put on a gym outfit and went out of my room. They all seemed to be asleep, so I slowly walked to the door out of our dorm.When I got out, I just noticed that I was holding my breath. I laughed at myself and shook my head.My plan is to go the school’s gym. It’s just close to our dorm so I won’t have a hard time searching for it. There is one inside our dorm but there is a lack of equipment there.As I walked, I felt someone looking at me. But I wonder why I can’t sense or recognize who it is. I looked behind me only to see the dark hallway. I just ignored it and moved on.I was close to the gym when I noticed the door was open and the light on it. I was surprised. Who would go to the gym a
Atacia's POV:I stared at his face and examined it.Pretty narrow eyes, sharp nose, perfect jawline, and reddish lips.“Staring is rude you know.” My eyes widened and quickly descended upon his lift.“I-I uhm, I’m leaving now. Thank you. Bye!” I stuttered. I turned around and immediately walked out of that room. It looks like he has something to say, but I don’t want to stay there any longer.Wait, why am I even stuttering?I just continued to walk until I reached our dorm. I immediately entered my room and took a deep breathe.That dream again. Every time I sleep, I keep on dreaming that. It’s a nightmare.I just stared at nothingness for a few minutes before I decided to take a bath because it’s already 4:30 a.m.When I entered the bathroom, I looked in the mirror. I was surprised at first when I saw my new hair color.Blue.
Atacia’s POV:“Maybe you want to stand up? Unless you just want to be like that until later.” When I said that, they quickly stood up properly. No one wants to talk. They just look at each other.“Okay then, let’s proceed to our training.” It was Sir Lance who broke the silence.The other students immediately obeyed. I approached Liam and whispered, “Later, explain everything to me.”He just nodded, holding back a laugh. Well, I look funny. Not knowing anything and not having any idea what they’re talking about.“Okay Heatherians listen up. Now you grouped yourselves into 4, I will group you again. You will now be an eight-membered group so overall, there will only be 4 groups. They will be named Alpha Team, Beta team, Gama team and the Delta Team. Understand? Now when I call your group, move forward.” He explained.
Atacia’s POV:"What did you do?! What if she doesn't wake up?! Huh?! What are you going to do?!" Someone shouted."Don't question the king's ability. He knows what he's doing. So, so would you please calm down. Besides, who are you? What are you? Her boyfriend?" A voice answered. Gradually I came to know whose voice it was. It was Liam’s. The previous voice was Clyde’s."If the two of you won’t stop arguing, continue it outside. You guys are noisy. She might wake up." Cassie scolded."That's what we need to do! We need to wake her up!" Clyde shouted at Cassie."Dude, that's a woman. Don't shout at her." The annoyance can be heard in Liam's tone."Don't even interfere! Don’t tell me what to do!" Clyde shouted again."Tss. Too loud." I whispered that I don't think anyone heard because they
Atacia’s POV:"Have you ever seen your birthmark? Can I see it?"I was stunned at his question. I was hesitant whether to show it or not."Well the truth is, I haven't seen it yet. Or should I say I can't see it. Because everytime I try to look at it, I don't see anything." I said. He just made and ‘ahhhh’ sound.“What is he to you?!”"Why do you need to ask what is he to me?!" I won't be surprised who's arguing outside. Sometimes I don't even understand those two.I just leaned my head on the headboard of the bed and closed my eyes.Cassie and Liam kept arguing until they opened the door. They stopped talking and I felt them look at Drake before turning to my seat. I also felt Liam approach Drake and seem to have whispered something. I can't use my power because it's sealed. Why? Because I was in the school's mini hospital. They have a s
