~IVY~

Blackthorn Academy is quieter than I remember.

Not silent, never silent during the day, but the noise has changed. It’s softer now, cautious, like the place itself is afraid to make sudden movements in case the world breaks again.

Even the air smells different now.

It smells less like smoke and fear. More like fresh stone, clean wood, and something faintly sweet that reminds me of mornings before everything went wrong. There's no blood, no burned magic clinging to the wind.

I should feel

  • 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   57| Roxie’s Warning

    ~IVY~The dorm smells like clean sheets and lies.I sit on my bed with my back against the headboard, knees pulled to my chest, staring at the window that was shattered just hours ago. It’s been fixed, academy magic works fast, but I can still see it. The way the glass burst inward. The way the nig

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   56| The Hunter Threat

    ~IVY~I don’t know what wakes me first, the sound or the feeling.I've finally been able to get some sleep, but apparently the universe is saying I don't deserve it.It’s past midnight. The dorm is quiet in the way that makes every small noise feel louder than it should be. The kind of quiet that p

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   55| Suspension

    ~IVY~It's been two days since Karl, Damon and I were caught sneaking out of the highly restricted room by the principal and her guards.It's been two days since we were taken to the infamous punishment chamber and tortured mentally. I've heard of people possessing powers capable of making one reli

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   54| Confrontation and Torture

    ~IVY~ The silence hits first.Not the peaceful kind. Not the calm-before-bed kind.This silence feels enforced. It's eerie.Like the walls themselves have been warned not to make a sound.The principal’s office looks colder than usual, stripped of warmth it never really had. The lights are dim. It
