~IVY~

If there’s one thing I’ve learned since coming to this academy, it’s that nothing important ever stays on the surface.

Not the truth. Not danger. And definitely not secrets.

That’s why I’m crouched behind a tapestry at midnight, holding a torchlight, listening to my own heartbeat echo through stone walls older than common sense.

The secret passage smells like dust and something faintly metallic. The kind of smell that sticks to your clothes and refuses to leave, no matter how many showers

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   84| Personal Space

    ~IVY~I'm wide awake and it's almost midnight.This is not because of my insomnia. I've been able to get proper sleep recently. I don't have to count sheep or do pushups. I close my eyes and I'm gone to dream world. Maybe it's because I now feel at peace with myself, maybe it's because of Karl's lavender tea. Whichever it is, I'm happy I can sleep properly without having constant nightmares and jerking up awake at night.I'm currently awake because I want to, not because I don't have a choice. The academy is quiet in a way that feels earned.Not the tense quiet from long ago, where silence meant something bad was holding its breath. This quiet hums softly, like the building itself is tired but satisfied. Lights glow gently low along the halls. Doors stay closed, not locked. Somewhere far away, someone laughs and quickly hushes themselves, like joy is still learning when it’s allowed to exist again.That'll be Ama's room. She and her roommate stay up till it's ridiculously late. Wha

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   83| Strength In Unity

    ~IVY~Should I just pretend to die?That's the first thought that crosses my mind as I stare at my ceiling, reluctant to get out of bed. I mean, I could say I'm sick. I did visit the healers room yesterday to see a few students.Around this season, witches are prone to fall ill. Most times they're isolated ahead of time so the illness won't spread. The sickness doesn't have a cure, after some time it fades on its own.It's one of the cons of being a witch in this world.The sound of a parrot yapping about the history of the werewolves revolution blares off my phone. I swipe up, turning off the alarm and continue staring at the ceiling.I shouldn't be here. I'm the student president. I ought to be going around to ensure that everyone is out for the early morning training. When I say early morning I don't mean the morning when school starts. I mean early morning before the sun rises kind of early morning.This is all due to Dostoevsky. It was his grand idea that we need to improve in

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   82| Settling in the Academy

    ~IVY~The first thing I learn about peace is that it’s quiet and loud.The latter is not the screaming, exploding kind of loud. No spells ripping the sky, no bodies hitting stone. This kind of loud is messier. It’s voices overlapping in halls that were once silent. Doors slamming. Laughter breaking out at the wrong times. Crying breaking out at the worst ones. It’s life trying to figure out how to move again after being knocked flat.Blackthorn Academy is alive in a way it hasn’t been since before the fight.Things are different, new changes and policy implemented. Our new principal, Lady Mira, is so nice. Sometimes I really doubt if she's truly our principal. She's nothing like Lydia, who was stiff and old fashioned.Lady Mira listens and acts on her promises. Her presence alone increased Blackthorn's population times two. The academy had to stop admitting students to avoid overpopulation.Every other competition Blackthorn had has been eliminated. In the whole paranormal world, the

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   81| Roxie's Secret

    ~ROXIE’S SECRET~The war started by Lord Tracon is over. So they say. But the war and turmoil he caused in my life still remains. My chest writhes in an uncontrollable pain I don't know how to quench. Tears have refused to fall, instead forming an icy barrier around my heart.The only thing I've always prayed for has been snatched away from me before I could blink. The one thing I cherish more than my life, gone. I did all I could yet it was never enough. Nothing was enough.My life has never been a bed of roses, it has been a path filled with thorns and shards of glasses. I have seen cruelty no one should experience from a young age, injustice that can't be explained just because of my identity.But you never see me complain to anyone. You never see me rant about my life or expose my problems.In fact I help people with their problems, bringing ideas and solutions while I die in silence. I keep quiet, not because I want to, but because I have to.I can't reveal to the world that I'm

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   80| Choosing Karl

    ~IVY~It's been barely forty eight hours since Damon left yet I'm clutching my phone for an update.Has he finally decided on a location to settle down? Did he encounter rogues or an assassin? The outskirts of the academy is filled with forests and it's not too safe. Before you can enter the city it'll take hours.I couldn't sleep properly last night knowing he might encounter miscreants. I look at my phone again and it had the same notifications I saw forty-five seconds again.Royane is asking if I can attend an intimate sleepover she's hosting the night before school resumes. Apparently there's a campfire and marshmallow roasting, as well as scary stories and love confessions. It's just a typical girl's sleepover. She also sent the list of other people she plans on inviting and heavens, my jaw almost drops. It's like the whole Blackthorn girls will be coming. There's nothing ‘intimate’ about this sleep over. It's like she's hosting a party.It turns out that when she was not busy s

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   79| Damon's Departure

    ~IVY~It's four days till the official academy session resumes and I can say that 80% of students are looking forward to it as though they're unleashing new powers on that day.Eighty percent because as usual this is Blackthorn, and the remaining twenty percent will actually prefer doing nothing, roaming around the academy premises and doing whatever they want.In that category of twenty percent is Ryder. He actually submitted a petition to the academy management regarding the extension of the break. When asked why he said he just wanted to do it since he had freewill.Let's just say the academy management is not really fond of him. He was almost banned from submitting a petition to the school ever again. I honestly wonder how he and Karl became friends. The broody commanding Alpha and the nonchalant, spontaneous Gamma.I pity Jace more, he has to deal with him 24/7.With the usual scorching hot soon of Blackthorn gracing us with it's light and heat, I enter the courtyard.I've not e

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   022|What the Twins Are Hiding

    What exactly do people use fame to do? I understand why people try to attain wealth and money, but what's the point of fame? I'm asking, not because I'm suddenly getting philosophical but because it seems I'm now famous. Literally. As a newcomer in second year, I gained a bit of popularity, which

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   021|A Warning in the Library

    Being killed wasn't on my to-do list today therefore I wasn't killed.Who am I kidding? If it wasn't for Karl and Damon my head would probably be on a silver platter by now, surrounded by hunters who'll be singing and cheering at their success.But my head is still attached to my body, and the hunt

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   020| First Major Threat

    ~IVY~It's the weekend and I'm stuck in my dorm.Unlike other students who have gone out to the student centre or wherever students go on a weekend, I'm indoors, trying to figure out the map I found in the archive.Roxie, whose social life is thriving and is not non-existent like mine, went out wit

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   019|Karl's Jealousy

    ~Karl~I've always been an Alpha before I became a student. The title came earlier than planned, making me heir presumptive to the entire Lycan kingdom.As an Alpha, I've killed but always within proper reason. Most times it's to protect my people, other times it's because people failed to stay wit
