Maya *Back to reality* … I woke up on shore after surprisingly blacking out. My clothes were tattered and torn, barely hanging on my body. Luckily, my sunlight pendant was still on my neck. Yet, I felt nauseous, my heart ached for something. I let out a cough, gasping out water which definitely entered my system after almost drowning to my death. “Damnation…” I trailed, after I realized I had gone off my path. I didn’t even know where this route led to. It was the other side, of the waterfall. More like the end… My eyes widened at the realization that the wolves might come searching for me on this side. “Fuck!” I hissed, standing up and dusting the sane parts of my clothes that could be dusted. Where was Javier and Ambroz? “Maya…” A voice seeped into my head, from the waters. I looked down, watching it crawl to where I stood. It was slippery, blue and natural looking. “What…do you want from me?” I gasped, holding my throat. It seemed like I was choking. Tears formed in my e
Maya “Get out.” She seethed at Julian who held a resistant look. “D-do I have to?” “I said get out!!” she shrieked angrily, demonstrating with her stick. I watched Julian drop the napkin in his hands, scurrying out like Senora Savannah had asked. At the slam of the door shut, I straightened my back stretching and yawning widely. “You’re still with this stupid rebellious behavior,” She strolled towards me, before stamping her foot in assertiveness. “I should have isolated you since you were a child. You just seem to disrupt everything here, breaking rules, thinking that makes a statement but it doesn’t.” I looked at her, then up at the ceiling, wondering what this old woman was all about. Her face was stern, filled with hate and disgust at me. “We never did get along,” I muttered. “What?!” She moved nearer, raising his stick. “How dare you talk back at me you mannerless—” “Aish…that’s enough!” I replied just as she hit me with her walking stick. On her face was a startled expre
Javier I started losing my senses few fucking seconds after I returned Maya to her district. It was safer for her there, but my darkness got pissed. I hated the fact that I couldn’t tease her like before, or even piss her off… The most annoying damn thing that followed this, was the threat sent to my breakfast table by an unknown person. “What is this?!!” I yelled, with my nose flaring in anger at who dared to put garlic in my bloody food. “Who.Did.This.” About three servants rushed inside my room, and I threw the spoon at them. They dodged it instantly, trembling on their spots. “Who prepared this food?” I snarled, baring my fangs. “Forgive me, my Prince. I deserve to be punished whole fully for this!” The head servant bowed at me, stretching his hands on the floor. “Forgive us, Your Highness!! This is all our fault!!” The remaining two trembled on their spots, shivering as my darkness surrounded the room. Vibrations riveted through, as the entire room begun to darken. I knew
Maya “What are you doing, Maya?! Are you trying to get yourself in trouble again?” Julian yelled, at me. In my hands, was a telescope I stole from one of the guard’s quarters. I was going to use it to plan my escape plan outside once more. “Nobody has to find out,” I grumbled. There was an average height guard right at a high building just beside the entrance. It seemed like Senora made the security tighter. “You’re crazy!” I smirked at Julian’s words, straightening my white shirt and carrying on with my mission. “I’m not, I just don’t want to lead a boring life,” I snorted. All of a sudden, my vampire hearing heard clicks. I directed my eyes to the outside guard, only to see him raising his gun towards the window. “Juliannn!!!” I yelled, using my speed to take him down instantly. Shots tethered in that instant, making my eyes bolt in shock at why the security guard just shot at us. “W-What’s h-happening?” His words were shaky. “I have no idea. Whatever it is, we need to hid
Javier“What do you, fucking want?” I snapped at Scarlett, who called the phone.I could hear cracks and pants of breath, this made me stand up with searching eyes.“I made a mistake, Javier. I underestimated Dimitri’s 21st century abilities. He’s much stronger than me now—”“What are you talking about?” I let out, asking worriedly.“I shouldn’t have gone after him alone. I’m trapped now…” she sobbed. I could hear breeze swooning and could tell she was running. “I don’t want to die, Javier.”“Where are you? Where are you?!” I yelled over and over again but got no response.“No! No!!” she suddenly yelled. I could hear cackles, and sneaky tones which made my blood boil.“No one’s gonna save you now, little Scarlett…” A familiar voice trailed. I began pacing round the room, searching for the car keys. Dammit! I couldn’t even drive.Ambroz, I fucking needed his help. I ran out of the room, zooming with my speed to his apartment across the palace.“Stay away from me!!!” Scarlett yelled. “A
MayaNervously, my hands rode up to my neck beholding my pendant. To think I’ve survived by injecting myself with blood from our infirmary, and… this was how it was all going to end.They were going to find out my secret, sooner or later.“No one moves till the entire tape is watched!”At Senora Savannah’s words, I swallowed with my heart pacing. I could hear her smooth steps as she scanned through every child in the orphanage. Tension was prevalent in the air.“Begin!!” she told the CCTV expert who sat and began.My eyes searched, almost in tears that I was going to be discovered sooner or later. The one thing I didn’t want to do was drag Julian with me. It wasn’t his fault. It wasn’t dammit…“Maya, Maya,” The whispers were so faint, yet, thanks to my vampire hearing, I contained it.“I’m sorry…” I trailed, not knowing what to say to Julian.“It’s Trixie.”My eyes widened immediately. “Huh? What do you want?”She hadn’t spoken to me in ages. The rumored witch, who blended with us as
JavierThe Death Goddess words on my mate didn’t make any sense at all. Why was she attaching a dark destiny to her, as punishment for being my mate? Was it to atone for my past sins?It currently pissed me off, that I couldn’t do anything about it. That was what my step sister, Katherine said. It could be fucking annoying.“A penny for your thoughts, man?” Ambroz suddenly asked.I grumbled, “No.”Queen Zoraida had used my ex’s belongings to figure out where she was. It was in a really far place, so we took something that lifted us from the ground to the sky.“Feeling giddy? This is your first flight, isn’t it?” Ambroz joked.“I.Don’t.Wanna.Talk.About.It.”At my reply, he uncapped a blood bag for himself.“She’s going to be fine; you know. Don’t worry too hard.”“And if she isn’t? Dimitri is a ruthless piece of shit, you know that.” I muttered in reply.Sitting in this flying object which belonged to our clan, wasn’t what I enjoyed doing. Thanks to our wealth gathered over the centuri
MayaRunning.I’ve always had that habit. It seemed I always got away, whenever the situation called for it. And this is what I had told everyone around me.Trixie parted with me, like I asked earlier. The road back to the cemetery was something I was familiar with. Yet… that wasn’t my destination.“I shouldn’t be out here, wandering…” I trailed, knowing the last time I was alone, some wolves chased me.“Maya!!!”I looked towards where the voice came from only to see Trixie, chanting some words which sounded like spells. I gasped at the sight of a gigantic creature, which skin was in black entirety and a body which was rough as a stone.“What the hell is that?!” My chest paced, knowing it had been coming to attack me.“Spirit moles!” she exclaimed, swaying her hands at it, while it shrieked in agony. It turned into ashes slowly, before evaporating into the thin air.“You saved me, why? Where you following me?”“We have to flee now, Maya! Common!” she said, running while I followed ins
