"Lippy? Lippy, it's okay. We aren't going to hurt you."I don't want to look back. I don't want to see those monsters.Why am I here?Where is Nick?I shake and shiver as I slowly turn my head to take a peak. Those strangers are still there. I quivered back, hugging myself tight as I heard their conversation."Poor Lippy, what are we going to do?""How did this happen?" Says the voice, which I found gentle and warm.I take another peek to see who's talking."This never happened to demons," says the one with the long pink hair. She looks pretty."Higher rank demons will lose strength if they use too much of their powers and become small like a child but still have their state of mind," I stare at the blue-haired man as he talks about powers and demons.Do they exist?"For our master's case," I gasped once blue hair man made eye contact with me. I hide my face. "We've seen her father turned into a child before. This would be the first that we ever saw."My father?Do they know my dad? W
This is your typical modern family.Once Dad takes a sip of his cup, his red eyes look up at me. He put his coffee cup down and folded the newspaper."Morning, kiddo," he smiles as Mom hands him a plate of pancakes.She also placed a plate of cooked bacon, sunny side eggs, and fresh biscuits."M-morning," I grabbed a seat in front of him as I was served pancakes covered with strawberry syrup and whip cream."Ready for your first day of college?" Dad asks, taking a piece of pancake into his mouth. He moaned and looked at Mom. "You make the best pancakes, baby." They show affection to one another, forgetting I'm in the room."Um...yeah," I didn't know how to respond since it was the first time I'll be attending college.Of course, I'm at that age of going back to school to prepare if my choice of career. But I never would've thought I get the chance."Have you thought of what you want to do?""Huh?" I muffle with a mouth full of pancakes. Dad was right, and Mom made the best pancakes. "
I open my eyes slowly and again am in an unfamiliar room. This time, instead of seeing a high ceiling, I see pretty drawings of vines and flowers but no color on the ceiling. I don't know what it is called, but I'm in a different room."Lippy?"I turn my head quickly to find the handsome man troubled."Are you alright?" He reached over my head, and I didn't flinch when he touched me. It's warm and gentle. "You don't have a fever. That's good." He smiles.My face heats up, and I pull the covers over half my face. "I'm...I'm....mmm...okay."His smile pulls wider, revealing his white teeth. The temperature on my face increases to the point I let out a squeak and hide entirely under."Are you hungry?" He asks.I park my head out from the covers and my stomach growl before I can say anything."I guess that's a yes," he chuckled and got up from the chair. "I'll have someone bring you something to eat. I will be back. Sleep a bit."He reaches and touches my cheek. With the cover under my chi
I open my eyes again to find myself in a different place, a different room. Only this isn't my room. It seems more like a dressing room; clothes hang, and makeup is scattered everywhere. In front of me was a large mirror; I rose, seeing my reflection. My face has been painted with makeup, not too heavy, just enough to see my natural look. My hair was let down into beautiful curls and decorated with flowers. I see myself wearing a lovely wedding dress, a simple dress with a long sleeve lace illusion off the shoulder, revealing my cleavage."What the hell is going on?" I whisper, shocked and confused. I remembered waking up seeing my parents together and Dominic taking me to school, then we kissed...then here I am as a bride.A soft knock had me flinch, looking back to find my mother dressed in a lovely silk satin midnight blue petite gown. Her makeup was light, and her hair was down as well. She entered the room looking like a goddess."Look at you," she gasps, and her eyes start to wa
Castle Luna de Argent - RealityI huddled myself, facing away from anyone who had approached me. After Ingrid and the other queens left the room with a wailing, Bibi wanted to stay longer. She's so cute it makes me giggle. After the queens left, a girl with pink hair and a boy with blue fur; who looked identical to her entered my room along with a man wearing a blindfold. Behind them was another girl who didn't look the part of the group. There is a large dog by her side and a giant. Those two got me scared. It almost made me want to run, but I bet they would chase after me once I left.After staying with me for a long time, I learned their names; Saye and Arlo are twins, and Jippis is their older brother. Camila is the normal-looking girl, Kaze is the large dog, and Takkar is the giant. I was initially scared of them, but when Kaze approached me as he changed his size to that of a puppy and flashed his cute puppy eyes, I couldn't help but hug him. I got to know this group of people,
Alternate RealityThe sounds of a kettle that had been recently singing with high-pressure steam had me battered my eyes at it. I reach towards it and turn off the heat."What? Where am I now?"Confused and unaware that I was in another unfamiliar place. Looking down, I have a casual long-sleeve, leggings, and an apron.I look around the kitchen, standing in front of the stove. The kitchen's interior was hues of light colors of cream and grey, giving that soothed feeling. I opened the white cabinet and found matching blue and white plates nearly stacked, along with some crystal glass cups.I stepped out of the kitchen and entered the family room. Everything is so modern and black and white, from white couches to a black glass coffee table. I explore this complex; a balcony is next to the living room to see the whole city. I advance towards and slide the glass door with a gust of wind in my face. I grip the rails and look down. We are about fifty levels up, and I see tiny cars and peop
I don't ever recall this memory. Is this ripple only showing a part of the memory I've been missing as it shows something new? I remembered that forest. I remembered every route and secret passage. I thought I had forgotten all about it, but the memories remain.I remembered everything.The farmhouse, Camila, and everyone living in their joyful life and our times hunting down ferals. Although they weren't as cheerful and perfect, I feel somewhat at home in my life with the Blue Moon pack and Dominic.The confusing part is, why am I here? This place and this life seem perfect for someone who fought with demons. Before, it felt like someone was messing with my mind and alternating it to this ideal world, but somehow I remembered those important to me and where they lay.Inside my heart, where it has always been since the beginning.That will never change.I mean, Leah and I, best friends? That is total bullshit.I would rather be friends with a rat than someone like her. Just the though
"Dominic, where is the scar?" I ask and frown.He was drying his hair with a spare towel and stopped to look around his body. "What scar?""Right here," I step forward to him and point his right shoulder above his chest. "There. You had a bullet wound when you got shot by that poacher."Dominic was nine when it happened. He was mistaken for an animal when I made him wolf ears from one of my private arts and craft. We played hide and seek, and because he had the ears, a poacher had mistaken and shot him. When he realized that it was a boy, he went into shock. His parents panicked and had the pack doctor pull the bullet out from him. Luckily, Dominic was out of the woods, but he sincerely apologized and decided never to hunt again as for poacher."I don't have a scar. My body is wound-free," he chuckles, and I pinch my brows together. "Let me go change first. You go on ahead to my office, and I'll be there shortly."When he returned, I didn't want to believe that the scar could just dis
