Selene Each agonizing scream accelerated the pace of my legs, fuelling them with a newly found energy. And in a flash of light, all my tiredness and sleepiness were long gone and forgotten as adrenaline took charge. Was everything alright over there? Most especially with Esmeralda? "Hey, come back!" One of the guards yelled before stretching his hands to grab me, but I dodged it and increased my pace. Nothing would stop me from seeing Esmeralda tonight. Not even thousands of guards. "You, get back here!" Another guard ran after me, but I was quick to outsmart him, making him lose me. Swerving left to avoid being caught by an incoming guard who was bent on taking me, I made my way to a huge door dividing both sections. Without thinking twice, I flung it open, throwing myself in. My pace reduced as I was met with an unfamiliar building. Then it dawned on me. I didn't know which room Esmeralda was in. All I remembered was its pink interiors. But there was no way I could lo
Selene "Burn her!" "Kill her!" Those cruel words filled the air as I laid on the dusty floor, centred by people of my kind. Witches and wizards. Witches and wizards that gathered around me for a common interest. To have me dead. "Set her ablaze!" "Murderer! "What an abomination!" "Outcast!" They chanted angrily, tossing my toddler figure around as people scratched and hit me to their satisfaction. "Such evil!" "Disgusting!" A woman screamed, scrunching up her nose in disgust like I was thrash. "Hypocrite!" Another tossed me aside, making me fall to the ground, wearily. I sat on the cold floor, watching the angry mob that was ready to lynch me in confusion. Why did they want me dead? I have been a good witch. What did I do wrong? I racked my toddler brain, but answers eluded it. Afraid of their incessant chants and angry faces, I scurried to my feet, about to run away from it, to end it all but a kick sent me crashing to the cold floor, kissing the dust.
Selene The angry voices of the mob grew louder as we struggled to make our way in their midst, out of the town square. To be forever banished to the village outskirts. Curses and scorns flew from different directions, landing on us. And so were the beatings. Scolding and yelling at as many as she could, my grandmother made her way out of the crowd, scooping me into her arms like her life depended on it. "Evil child. Evil mother!" They yelled, pushing Sage in all directions. "Like grandmother like granddaughter," Another said, pointing fingers at her. Like a sleeping dog, Sage ignored them as she trod amongst them, ignoring as many as she could. Tears welled up in my eyes at the sight. She was beaten because of me, spat on and stripped of her position. Just to rescue me. A faint smile washed upon my face as I looked into the eyes of my grandmother. My saviour. But the smile vanished just as it appeared, as I watched her struggle to keep people's hands away from my
Kade "What do you think, Kade?" Amelia's tiny voice brought me back to reality. I watched her hands carefully caressing the puffball of a bouquet of dandelions in a flower vase. The smile on her face won't stop spreading as she glared at the dandelions like they were her babies. I swallowed before clearing the lump stuck in my throat, "The sight grabs attention and they are beautiful" I said, watching the dandelion as they held me spellbound. "They are beautiful, just like you, Amelia," My hand reached her face, tucking the stray hair that dangled on her face to have an unobstructed view of it, "Very beautiful," A smile played on my face as the afternoon sun shone brightly on Amelia's face, causing a beautiful glow. The gentle breeze tousled her hair in different directions, leaving it in a mess. A beautiful mess. The smile on my face faded as it appeared when the realization hit me. My little sister was growing up. She was growing so fucking fast that I wondered if she had
Esmeralda I woke up with a start, followed by a long loud gasp that left me panting hard. Sitting upright immediately, I stared into space, gasping for breath recalling the vent of my nightmare flashed through my head. Except it was a panic attack caused by the she-devil herself. Her claws dragged me into the darkness with my body bound by silver chains, leaving me no room for escape. It hurt. It burned, so bad that my skin peeled. And fresh droplets of my blood splashed on me, and her. Her snaky tongue found its way in the darkness, licking each drop of my blood, hungrily, almost draining me completely, like a starved vampire sucking the blood of its victim. I screamed and pleaded, but it wouldn't stop her torture. My agonizing screams sounded like pleasant music to her ears, satisfying her troubled soul. And my blood tasted like fine wine on her tongue, causing muffled moans and groans out of her lips. She enjoyed it. She enjoyed me. But as if that was not enough
Kade Surprise swept me off my feet as I stared at Amelia's face. Her words threw me off balance. Mate? I think I needed one. One who was paired with me by the Moon goddess. One who could understand and share my feelings, pains, and happiness. The one I would love to call mine, forever. But I think the Moon goddess hated me for depriving me of a mate when I turned eighteen. I could still remember the night of my birthday party and the Moonball ceremony where I had practically sniffed the hell out of the unmated females, but none sent my wolf into a state of frenzy with her scent, not even nearly. Was it my nose? Was my sense of smell not activated? It had to be my nose. I had kept my hope alive, hoping my nineteenth birthday would be different, but the Moon goddess crushed my feelings again, making my expectations dash against the hard rock of pain and bitterness. How could I not find my mate out of thousands of people in attendance? Who was she? Where was she hiding?
Phoebe When the going gets tough, only the tough get going. With those words, I navigated my way into the woods, alone at midnight. The battle was getting tougher and tougher by the day. But I would never back off. I was tough. And only the tough ones could survive. Despite the scary sight in the woods, nothing would make me back off. Not even a monster with twelve heads. I had started this journey alone and I would finish it successfully on my own. A whine in my head followed by a protest rolled a light chuckle from my lips. Kruella was jealous! "Fine, we are together in this, jealous bitch," I snapped, a satisfying pur left her throat. Sneaking out of the house never posed to be an issue, but for some strange reason, dad's presence hovered around the house, monitoring my movement. Forgiveness. Forgiveness was what he pleaded. And after I assured him of my forgiveness, followed by a kiss on his forehead, he melted away in his room. Same with Esmeralda. That bit
PhoebeMy eyes bulged, almost popping out of their sockets and a loud gasp escaped from my lips as a thundering voice echoed from the top of the mountain, vibrating the woods and shaking the trees to their roots.Shapeshifting into my wolf form, I ran up the mountain for easy movement. Climbing the mountain in my human form would be a waste of time. Once I got to the top, I fell on my face as a bright light shone in my direction. "Arise and follow me," A voice said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I couldn't miss the scorn laced in her voice. It was so obvious, I could taste it. Could she be...No!Sabrina could shapeshift into many things, but shapeshifting into this ugly bitch was the last thing she would do. Following her lead, as we took long strides to the top of the mountain that looked like a big town, I couldn't help but notice some witches pinning me with a scornful glare. Their eyes bored holes behind my back as I made my way into their midst.The hate was obvious. It w
