LOGINChapter: After I had been wandering through the house, a door in the right wing caught my attention. It wasn’t like the other doors; it was wider, heavier, covered with strange, intertwined carvings as if they told an ancient story no one could understand.I stood in front of it for a few moments, feeling that something was drawing me to it for no clear reason. I slowly extended my hand and touched those carvings; they were cold, unexpectedly so, as if they had not been affected by the warmth of the place.Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps from inside.I froze in place.The footsteps were light but clear, getting closer little by little, as if their owner was walking with deliberate slowness. I held my breath and moved a little closer to the door, trying to see through the narrow gap, but the darkness inside was dense, swallowing everything.I couldn’t make out any movement, not even a shadow.My heartbeat quickened, and my mind began to weave uncomfortable possibilities.Was
Chapter: I slowly turned toward the source of the voice, and the moment my eyes fell on him, I froze for a second. There was a small child standing at the doorway, his arms crossed over his chest, his features tense in a way that suggested intense annoyance. His bright blond hair reflected the dim candlelight, and his black eyes gleamed with a sharp look that didn’t suit his age.In that moment, I immediately remembered the picture I had seen in the hallway… it was the same child.He didn’t give me time to think.He rushed toward me in the blink of an eye until he stopped right in front of me, and said in a loud voice filled with clear anger:“Why did you come back?! Didn’t you say you wouldn’t return?!”I blinked in surprise, is… this the first thing someone says to his sister after being gone?I felt confused for a moment, but I remembered Carla’s words act like me and stay calm.I took a light breath, then turned my face away from him as if I wasn’t interested, and went back to ea
Chapter: The New Family.As soon as the servant reached one of the rooms in that long, dark corridor, he suddenly stopped. The hallway stretched as if it had no end, and the walls on both sides were covered with faded old paint, over which the dim shadows of the lamps hung, barely lighting the way.The silence was heavy between us until the servant turned toward me with a slight bow and said in his calm voice:“My lady… we have arrived at your room.”I looked at the door in front of me. It was a massive wooden door, adorned with old carvings that suggested the antiquity of the place. I moved forward slowly and placed my hand on the handle, while inside me was a mixture of curiosity and tension. I gently pushed the door, then reached my hand toward the lamp and turned it on.In that moment…My eyes widened in shock.The appearance of the room from the inside was completely different from the rest of the house. It was not dark or abandoned; rather, it was remarkably neat and elegant. Th
Chapter: At that moment, I slowly opened the door, while my heart was still beating with curiosity and tension. I expected to see one of the students or perhaps Maya, but what I saw in front of me made me freeze in place for a moment.There was an elderly man standing at the door, wearing an elegant dark-colored formal suit, as if he had just stepped out of one of the old palaces. His posture was straight, and his features were calm and serious. He placed his left hand on his chest with a slight bow that reflected clear respect.His neatly arranged gray hair and his steady, calm gaze gave him a presence that made me feel nervous without knowing why.As soon as our eyes met, he said in a polite and low voice:"Miss, I have been ordered by the master to bring you home."I remained standing in front of him for a moment, not knowing what to say or how to act. I was studying his features, his formal manner, his style that seemed familiar, as if he had known Carla for a long time.I felt a
Chapter: UnityWhen we finished the strength class, I felt a slight fatigue in my body, but inside I was still filled with excitement after the confrontation we had gone through. The coach’s voice faded behind us as the students began leaving the field one by one.I walked beside Maya and Julia, while Jimmy and Misa followed us from behind, each of us talking excitedly about the events of the fight as if we were still in it.The moon was prominent in the sky, and the stars reflected their light on the academy buildings, while the lights illuminated the entire place, giving it a calm warmth after a noisy battle. We all headed to the restaurant, as we always do after classes.We entered the restaurant, and it was crowded with students talking and laughing, while the smell of food spread everywhere. We sat at the table and each of us began placing their food. I had barely sat down when Jimmy started speaking with clear excitement.“Iris, you’re truly amazing… I loved your courage!”I smi
Chapter: Some time passed before the start of the fight was finally announced. The atmosphere was clearly tense, as if the air itself had become charged with anticipation. Maya, Julia, Jimmy, Misa, and I stood at the back entrance of the massive building, watching in silence, while the voices of the other team echoed from afar.The building in front of us looked completely abandoned, its walls cracked and its windows shattered, as if time had stopped inside it many years ago. Despite that, this place was our battlefield, the place that would determine the winning team.Then the signal was given.At that moment, we all rushed forward. We entered together through Entrance B. Darkness filled the corridors, and dust scattered with every step we took. I felt my heartbeat quicken, but I tried to remain calm, remembering the plan we had agreed upon.Suddenly, Misa raised her hand toward me, and a strange energy began to surround me. I felt as if the air around me warped for a moment, and th

Chapter Eleven:I was sitting in my place on the stands, holding Maya’s jacket with both hands as if it were something precious. The fabric was slightly warm, and perhaps because of the tension, I was gripping it tightly without realizing it. My eyes were fixed on the wide arena below, where Maya s
