Marked by the Moon 33. What was in that paper?
I spent the next two days looking at my shoulders every time there was any small sound around me. The look of worry in Kai's eyes was clearly telling me the wheels were running inside his head. Luckily, I was able to hide everything from Mom. "How did you become one? Are there others like you?" I threw a few more questions at a very annoyed Lucien. He didn't bother replying with words and glared at me. We had been trying to practice as much as we could, which meant more lies and more skipping classes. I tried to focus on moving the water, but with all the questions running freely inside my head, it was impossible. "At least give me one answer.""If I give you one answer, you will ask me 10 more questions."I rolled my eyes and blew out some air. Before I could start practising again, something shifted in the air. The air became warmer. The birds stopped chirping. Everything became still. Lucien was facing the other side of the forest while hiding me behind himself."What's
Marked by the Moon 32. Am I going to die?
The sound of crickets entered my ears. Where was I?The memories of what happened earlier started rushing back to me. The three men in the dark. The attack. The dark creature. The silver blue eyes. I opened my eyes, the clear dark sky was above my head, filled with many stars, and then I looked around myself. I was near the lake.It was dark. But I was not alone. I sat down on the grass, and my small moment caught the attention of the dark creature as well. The creature was walking here and there, as if it was protecting me, but it stopped moving when it realised I had woken up.The eyes were glued to me, like they were searching for something in my eyes. For some weird reason, I was not scared. It started walking towards me. I grabbed the grass tightly. It stopped right in front of me. I felt tiny in front of the large creature, which could blend perfectly in the darkness. The presence felt familiar. I gulped. Then it turned around and walked behind the tree, the sou
Marked by the Moon 31. Strangely familiar silver-blue eyes
How could someone be this stupid? I asked myself as I continued walking into the dark, empty parking lot. I was supposed to be in my home, exactly where Lucien dropped me after the training. But as I was about to enter, I realised I had forgotten my phone at college. I dropped it when I was talking to Kai, more like avoiding the truth again. The look on his face had been haunting me, but it was best to keep him away from this mess. I couldn't drag anyone into a world I knew almost nothing about. My entire life was on that phone. Notes, assignments, passwords, photos. Leaving it overnight wasn't an option.It took me 30 minutes to reach the campus on foot, and by the time I found my phone, it was already dark. I continued my journey to reach home, enjoying the silence of the night and the dark clouds above my head. A strong gust of wind touched my face harshly as I took my first step out of the parking lot. My mark started burning. A chill ran down my spine, it was as though my
Marked by the Moon 30. Until I found her
**UNKNOWN POV**The room was dark...too dark for normal people. There was just a tiny bulb glimmering. But even in the darkness, I could clearly see the symbol of the moon that had been taunting me. There was only one window in the room, which was guarded heavily by the wooden blocks and then with a layer of newspaper. I couldn't see the moonlight, not until I found her. I was looking at the photograph of the mark in my hand. The edges of the photograph curled slightly beneath my fingers.Hundreds of photographs.Years of searching.And somehow it always ended with the moon. The tricks it had played over the past years. There was a loud knock on the door, followed by a pause of 2 seconds before it was opened. I grunted. "We have information."The sound of papers hitting the table made me stand instantly. I ran to grab the papers. It was her. I took the picture near the bulb and memorised her face. The hair, the silver strands. My grip tightened around the photograph, dam
Marked by the Moon 29. Stay away from me
Sleep was not a stranger anymore. The moment my body hit the bed, my eyes felt like they had been glued shut. The image of people running and screaming was the last thing I remembered before I fell asleep. **I found myself standing in an endless ocean. There was nothing around me...just still water. There were no islands, boats, or any other sign of life. I looked down. I was standing barefoot on the surface of the water. I didn't dare to move. I was scared of falling. Instead, I scanned the area. The water seemed dark in an unnatural manner, almost bluish-black. The sky was the same as the water, the only difference was the moon, which was scattering silver-white light across the water's surface as if it were a path. I decided to follow the path. With hesitation, I took a step and placed it on the surface. Surprisingly, it seemed like a normal floor, a very cold marble floor.There was no destination in my mind as I continued following the path that the moon had picked fo
Marked by the Moon 28. What secrets were buried in this lake?
Who was she? The question had been eating me alive, there was something so familiar about her. For the first time, I went to the lake without Lucien. I left him a text and skipped my classes. I knew I had to know the truth. The sun was shining brightly over my head as I stood one step away from the lake. I could only see the sun on the surface of the water. I bent down slowly, putting my hand in the water. I let the cool sensation calm down my nerves.The water curled around my fingers as though it recognised me.I closed my eyes and let all the thoughts escape from my head. I let out a long breath before focusing on the woman whom I had seen the last time. Pretty soon, the water started moving in circles. I didn't open my eyes immediately. I waited for a few seconds, and when I opened my eyes, I couldn't believe what was waiting for me. The lake was frozen. The water had turned into ice, and my hand was still stuck inside it. Strangely, I didn't panic. My eyes focused on t
