Marked by the Moon 51. He was gone.
The room had become too quiet.I could hear my own breathing in the deafening silence. Lucien was still standing near the window, but he wasn't saying anything either.I kept looking at the covered mirror. Maybe it was easier to look at the cloth than at him, even though I could feel his burning gaze on the side of my head. A small part of me wanted to remove the cloth, at least I knew the red eyed girl was more consistent than him. "Was I the reason you were here?" I finally asked, breaking the silence.I heard the sound of his heavy sigh, "Tonight?"I nodded."Partly.""Partly?" I repeated. He didn't answer.I turned around to finally face him."I came here because I was worried about you," his voice was smooth as silk, but how could I trust the words coming out of his mouth?"You came here because you wanted to see if I was okay after what happened at the lake."His jaw tightened. "Yes."I swallowed and laughed a humourless laugh. "Because you thought I might be the witch from
Marked by the Moon 50. The prophecy
I had been staring at the ceiling for what felt like hours, but my mind refused to slow down.The lake, the red eyed girl, Lucien, the water following me...everything was connected somehow, but I still couldn't figure out how.I turned towards the window. The mirror was still covered with the beige cloth.I hadn't removed it since the last time I saw her in the mirror. I didn't want to see those haunting red eyes again.I pulled the blanket closer to myself and closed my eyes tightly.Maybe I should have gone to sleep. Maybe pretending everything was normal would make it easier.A sudden shift in the air made my eyes wide open again. My heart skipped a beat. I slowly turned towards the window. The curtains moved slightly. How did I forget to close the window? And then I saw him, in the darkness, moonlight was falling on half of his face, highlighting his sharp features perfectly. I sat up immediately."Are you serious?" I whispered the words to myself. He didn't move from his spo
Marked by the Moon 49. I tried staying away
I returned to the lake alone.A huge part of me had already decided that Lucien wouldn't be there.At least, I hoped he wouldn't.The forest was unusually quiet today. Even the birds seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the sound of the wind moving through the trees, giving me an eerie feeling not the usual welcoming hug. I kept walking until I was standing near the edge of the lake and stared at the water, with Kai's words floating in my head. This was where I had started seeing things I couldn't explain.The lake had shown me things I didn't know maybe it could finally show me the answers I was looking for.I had no idea what I was expecting to find, but after everything that had happened, I couldn't keep sitting around waiting for someone else to tell me the truth.I had to find it myself. I removed my shoes and stood barefoot on the grass, preparing myself to face whatever the lake would show me this time. I slowly stepped into the water.The coldness travelled through my f
Marked by the Moon 48. I was losing control
"Where is Mom?" The question left my mouth as soon as I reached home.Lily gave me a confused look.I realised my hair had turned into a mess when I ran from the forest to my car, my shoes and pants were muddy as well. I didn't move from my spot, but the mud was collecting on the floor. "Mom and Dad left for some emergency meeting," She answered with a small frown."An emergency meeting?" I repeated.She shook her head. "Where were you?" Instead of replying, she asked me a question that seemed to be bothering her. Her eyes were focused on my shoes. She passed me a rag to clean what I could with it. "I-I was with Kai," I responded, but from her expression it was clear my answer was not enough."They are still fixing the fountain," I added a nervous laugh while wiping the mud from my shoes, "the water was everywhere."Lily frowned. "Are you okay?""Yeah..." I forced a smile. "I just ran all the way home, and you know how I feel about anything that even resembles exercise." The words
Marked by the Moon 47. If wakes too soon
The water had been acting weird around me.No matter how much I tried to control my emotions or say the right words, it was getting noticeable. My town had many good things, unfortunately, it did not have a place where I could practice alone.I stared at the map on my phone, it was showing me everything I already knew. I started looking at the forest. It was only showing me the trees, but somehow I knew there was a lake or a river there as well. I closed the map and started thinking about the alternatives. Letting out a sigh, I sat down on the bed.My eyes went towards the window. What if I was right and there was a place in the forest?I clutched the phone tightly in my hand and started thinking about the possibilities of going there alone.I would be fine as long as I had a correct map.My eyes next moved towards the mirror, which was now covered entirely with a beige cloth. After what happened that day, I was not able to look into that mirror without being scared of her popping
Marked by the Moon 46. Leave me alone
I woke up tired. The breakfast, the morning conversation... it all made me feel nauseous. Mom's watchful eyes were studying me silently. But she didn't say anything in front of Dad and Lily, just offered me tea instead of the green-colored smoothie. It meant, you look tired, you didn't sleep properly last night either. But none of us said anything out loud and ate the meal in silence.I sat down on the bed after having breakfast, there was no rush to reach college. I had taken a break to study at home. At least, that was the lie I was going with, I wanted to start searching for another place to restart my practice. But where could I find the right place? I needed it to be away from people, but not too far away to get murdered. I closed my eyes and started thinking. There was a sudden shift in the air around me. I knew I was no longer alone. I felt someone's eyes on me. My head quickly turned towards the window, but it was not open. I decided to look outside...towards the fore
Marked by the Moon 6. Find it
I just wanted to sleep. I felt like I had not slept properly in days, which was not wrong.The mark was not burning anymore....I ran my fingers softly over the mark, remembering his touch. I looked outside at the sky, the clouds were moving slowly....just like the time in the classroom. I glanced
Marked by the Moon 5. The pull
The night brought something else with darkness.Questions.I didn't move away from the window, I stood there as the sun bid its farewell and the night replaced the day. I could not take my eyes away from the forest, it was as though something was calling me. Something or someone was there, waiting
Marked by the Moon Something had changed
Something had changed.Not around me, inside me.“You were never meant to be here.” The words kept haunting me all night.Everything was the same, and yet nothing felt the same.The mark was no longer burning, it had gone silent. It was as though nothing was on my wrist.But I could not say the sam
Marked by the Moon Something worse is coming
It was 7:45."You are late."I knew it was coming."My classes will start late today," I replied, avoiding eye contact.Mom could read the lies hiding behind the words effortlessly."We all have to follow a routine," Mom folded her arms. It was a warning and I knew better than to argue with her.I
