MAYA'S POV

Stone scrapes my cheek as I'm dragged out of the office. I take huge puffs of air into my system, straining my eyes to see through the darkness. I can't hear voices or feel any movements. I stretch my weak hands to the wall, trying to lift myself up, but my tired legs rebel. My head is pounding. I need my energy sleep.

I want to cry. I hate this fucking place. I hate myself for fighting back too late, but what difference would it have even made?

I don't know how much time has passed since I lay outside here whining in pain, but by the time my body is willing to move, it's already dark outside. Classes must have been over long ago.

Sometimes, I wonder if a day at Blood Valley Academy actually lasts twenty-four hours.

Easy. Easy... Slowly, I get up. I force myself to take a few leaps down the hall. I'm not strong. I should walk straight to my hostel, yet my steps are leading me toward Billy's office. I should check on him. If anyone knows how to undo a spell, it should

  • MARKED BY MY MONSTERS.   033: JUST ONE KISS.

    MAYA'S POV Lux shuts the page and hands the files over to me. "These files… they’re academy secrets, Maya. If the wrong person finds out what’s inside, it could change everything from the blood trials to the council’s control over you." She finally speaks. The rest of the night, Lux and I come up with many theories as to the location of the sword, the effect of my punishment, and Kylie's involvement, but every theory flops back on itself. When we're too exhausted to keep going, Lux returns to her room and I fall asleep. The next day moves quickly. Classes don't start until the middle of the day, so I start my day by cleaning the corrupted places because it turns out failure to perform your daily tasks causes weakness, because I've been feeling so stressed and uncomfortable since I woke up. I start with the portal prison today, and with every bit of dusting, cleaning, and mopping I do, I feel like a part of my soul is being ripped off.Once done, I move down to the cafeteria,

  • MARKED BY MY MONSTERS.   031: THEY CALLED IT JUSTICE.

    MAYA'S POV I put my hands over Jaden's hand that's on my face. "No." I shake my head. "If you want to pledge your loyalty to me, do it without requesting my power." I whisper and step back. Simon returns, inserting the same card into the wall transforming the training field back to the original room. "You did well." He acknowledge with a smile. Student lift themselves from the ground, clapping and applauding our efforts. But the applaud dies too quickly with sounds of approaching boots overpowering it. Simon grabs my arm gently. "Wait Maya, I think you're in bigger trouble." He says, pointing at the door where the academy's guards are waiting. "You're wanted at the panel trial." Phew! No, not the panel! I thought I could run away from this as long as possible but it seems nowhere is ever too far when you're trapped within the walls of Blood Valley Academy. I haven't even prepared my defence speech, or discussed the breakout with Miles so we can form a corroborating story. I mov

    MAYA'S POV"So you both know it's Selene?" I ask, sitting straighter."Selene?" Miles repeats in shock.I nod. "She's the demon we—""Nothing." Morien interrupts. "Maya's just overreacting from the stress. I mean, Selene has been enrolled here since we started, right, Miles?" He shakes just head. "She can't be Hadies.""Yes, I know Selene." Miles agrees. "Besides, Hadies is still trapped underneath the portal prison.""Morien, can you say the truth, for once?" I want to scream, but I whisper instead. It's almost impossible for them to hear me clearly with the loud noise in the class."What truth?" Miles asks, his interest pricked."We released..." I pause, stopping myself from recklessly exposing my secret in front of the whole school."Students! Students!!" Simon calls our attention by clapping his large palms; they sound like heavy bass drums. When everywhere is quiet, he resumes talking. "Students, we've all been making plans towards the blood trials, but due to some unforeseen ev

  • MARKED BY MY MONSTERS.   029: THINGS FALL APART.

    MAYA'S POV.Later that night after the searchers had left, lockdown had been lifted, and we had returned to our respective rooms. I sluggishly tug myself in for a good night's rest, but a knock on my door startles me. "Shit!" I scream loudly, flinging my hands around and scattering everything on my bedside table. Can't someone have rest in this damned place?I toss my blanket aside and walk over to the door. I peek through the doorbell; it's Morien. I unlock the door, but to my surprise, Miles, Maddox, and Jaden are here as well, all four of them fully dressed. I can't hear any bickering or arguments; they're all just staring at me. I should be worried now, because these four men never get along.Jaden steps forward, with a courtesy now. "Come with us, my queen, for an enchantment trial." His voice sounds sincere. I hope he doesn't have ulterior motives this time."An enchantment ritual." Maddox corrects in a bored tone, like he'd be anywhere else but here.I shake my head. "I think

    MAYA'S POVI sneak carefully along the sides of the building, bending my head and looking around as I follow Morien's steps. "Shhh." Morien glances back. "Follow me. I know a shortcut." He says, crossing the lawn.I obey and cross the lawn with him. I move my feet as quietly as I can because every little sound I hear rings like an alarm in my ears. We take the left turn and arrive at the graveyard. "Wow, teleporting through the lawn?" I joke.Unfortunately, Morien doesn't get the joke. He turns around swiftly and grabs my shoulders. "Quiet." He mouths. "I didn't come out with you to get caught.""Sorry, jeez!" I mouth back, moving between the tombstones. "It's the sixth one, right?" I ask, remembering how he counted them the day Maddox and I were stalking him."It's not that one. I changed the location.""Why?" I whisper.He shrugs. "Let's just say I had a feeling something like this was going to happen." The graveyard is surrounded by bushes as fencing. He moves over there, using
