Hellblades 115 - Rage’s Bait
Pelin’s POV He turned back toward Manolya, still clamped in his pincer, struggling and coughing through the rising water. “If I kill her, like Gemini tried and failed, that makes me the winner, doesn’t it?” He grinned, as smug as a monster in a shell could look. “And you, Pelin… that makes you the loser. A nobody. A sidekick in someone else’s story.” My fingers curled into fists. “But,” he added, voice turning oily, “you could replace her.” My breath hitched. Cancer’s eyes gleamed. “Step in. Take the glory. Be the chosen one. You have the skill. The heart. Why always second place? Why always her?” Manolya gasped as the claw tightened. Her demon mark pulsed like fire beneath her soaked clothes. I stared at her. She was scared. Not just of Cancer. Of herself, of me mabe? She was spiraling again. And for one breathless, shameful second, I hesitated. Would it be easier if I was the chosen one? Would I finally stop feeling like a background character in my best friend’s
Hellblades 114 - Cancer’s Trial
Pelin’s POV “All these pitiful emotions,” Artemis sang in delight. “My delightfully tricky twins… they almost got to you, didn’t they?” She smiled at us, empty and cruel. Her obsidian skin seemed to drink the light, her eyes shining unsettling bright. I shivered. The demon mark burned as I panted, still kneeling, with Manolya holding me upright. “I see you are a jealous person,” Artemis added, her gaze locking onto mine. My breath caught as I looked frantic towards Manolya. She didn’t say anything, and my heart leaped in terror. “And I see another fear when I look at you,” she continued, her voice velvet-smooth. “I…see…everything.” Before I could react, a violent force tore me away from Manolya. A sudden tide surged from nowhere, cold and relentless, dragging me backward as Artemis laughed, delighted, to her heart’s content. “Manolya! Grab my hand!” I screamed. “I can’t reach you!” Manolya screamed back, panic tearing through her voice. “Pelin, the water is pulling me away! H
Hellblades 113 - Shattered Deceptions
Manolya’s POV Then the memory of Aziz’s voice rang in my mind. He had told me long ago, before this mess even begun. “Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not love the transgressors.” I remembered when he had said it. Aziz had snorted with that infuriating smug smile of his, and leaned closer like he was sharing a secret. “That’s what all the so-called good guys say,” he had said lightly. “But you know me, I’m not that kind of guy. And you are nothing like me.” He had smiled then, sharp and unapologetic. “Don’t worry little peach. I kill for fun,” he’d added, completely serious. “Those ghouls I hunted for you? They gave me great satisfaction.” Then he had purred, that infuriating, affectionate tone he always used. “Your soul is too pure, not even my darkness can touch you. I will never hurt you.” And I had laughed. I couldn’t help it. Because no, I wasn’t like him. And he had known that too. I met gemini
Hellblades 112 - Gemini’s Trial
Manolya’s POV The fog hardened, thick and suffocating, clinging to the air around us like a predator waiting for its moment to strike. That was when I heard the laughter. It didn’t come from one place. It came from everywhere. “Manolya!” Pelin shouted, panic sharp in her voice. “I’m here! Where are you?” How could we have been separated?! “I—I can’t see you!” I yelled back, turning in place. The fog swallowed my words whole. My hellblade flared to life in my grip, its glow cutting weakly through the haze. I tried to search for Pelin’s light, but the fog was too dense Then the laughter came again. But this time it was soft, amused and layered that made my skin crawl. A chorus of voices, overlapping, harmonizing in mockery, as if they were laughing at us rather than near us. “Hehehe… hahahaha…” It echoed above me, beside me, behind me. My pulse spiked. The voice from the Artemis demon drifted down through the fog, light and taunting. “The Geminis are here.” My stomach d
Hellblades 111 - The Bulls Wrath
Manolya’s POV The look she gave me was what made my heart clench. Taurus noticed. His smile sharpened. “Careful now,” he said coldly. “She’s afraid of what you might become.” The demon mark burned hotter, spreading through my chest in waves. My breath stuttered, then deepened, dragging heat into my lungs. My hands trembled, fingers curling on their own as if they no longer belonged to me. The pain didn’t feel like pain anymore. It felt warm and inviting. Enticing. My shoulders loosened. My jaw unclenched. For the first time since everything shattered, the tight knot in my stomach began to ease. I wanted it to happen. The rage filled the empty spaces inside me, thick and heavy, pushing the grief aside. My vision sharpened, colors bleeding darker at the edges. My pulse slowed, steady and powerful, like something ancient waking up under my skin. I didn’t feel weak. I felt stronger. My reflection flickered across my sword. The mark on my chest pulsed,
Hellblades 110 - Taurus Trial
Manolya’s POV The dust from Aries hadn’t even settled before the world shifted again. The Artemis demon transformed the arena, the shifting marble of the amphitheater groaning as it morphed into a vast, rugged terrain. Colossal rocks erupted from the center stage, scattering across the ground. The fog seeped in once more, thick and suffocating, enveloping us in an oppressive silence that swallowed the rows of ghostly spectators. Artemis descended from mid air to the center of the arena. She reached behind her back and drew out her bow, its surface carved with ancient symbols. She pulled the string back, and an arrow of glowing white energy formed between her fingers, solidifying as she aimed. She released it. The arrow landed perfectly in the center, next to a towering figure emerging from the mist as it slowly dissipated. “Little flames,” Artemis said and laughed coldly, like icy bells caught in frost. “Meet my wrath. Taurus the Bull!” she said in a delighted tone. “Isn’t he s
Hellblades 79 - A Father’s Silence
Manolya’s POV The room smelled of antiseptic. I really hated that strong smell. The overhead lights buzzed softly, their glow harsh against the pale blue curtains and the steel rails of the hospital bed. Beyond the thin walls I could hear muffled footsteps, the rolling of trolleys, a distant phon
Hellblades 78 - The Price Of Weakness
Emre’s POV The corridor smelled of bleach and disinfectant, sharp enough to sting my nose. White tiles gleamed under the fluorescent lights, polished so clean I could see my reflection in them—hollow eyes, sweat on my temples, a man who barely recognized himself anymore. Detective Kenan Karga had
Hellblades 77 - The Detective
Manolya’s POV The room was dim, lit only by a low ceiling lamp and the soft green glow of a heart monitor. The scent of antiseptic hung heavy in the air, masking the faint earthy smell clinging to my clothes from the caves. Machines hummed softly at the edge of my hearing, their steady rhythm bot
Hellblades 76 - Tangled In Darkness (Part 2: The Secret Moonbird)
Manolya’s POV I sat on the cold stone floor of the underground city of Kapadokya, my mind was a blur. The sirens echoed off the walls. I couldn’t feel the chill. I couldn’t feel anything. Where had my soul gone? Two policemen approached. One of them crouched in front of me, speaking in a low
