"Dead?, Are you sure of what you are saying?"Darren's brother asked."Yes, I am Sir. It happened right in front of your brother."The guard replied.With the way I'm seeing things, I don't think I'll be able to stay in the palace tonight. The king is dead and there's going to be chaos everywhere when the news spread out of the palace.Darren and his brother will be more focused on the death of their father and I'll be forgotten."You must tell anyone else about it."Darren's brother said to the guard.He turned to me"I don't think you can stay here, Darren won't allow you."He said."Can I see him at least?"I asked."I'm sure you are not deaf. My father is dead, and there's no way you can stay here."He yelled, sighed, and walked away.I guess I'm the fool now. I made my parents annoyed and now they kicked me out of the house. I thought of staying in the palace, but then the king decided to die.Death comes at any time, I know that. But why should he die when I need the help of his son?
My mother saw me. She didn't say a word, neither did she wave. She faced my father and kept walking to a place I have no clue of. The way she looked at me wasn't the way she always does. Maybe she is truly disapointed in me like she said earlier.I sighed. Maybe I'm at fault. I should have just apologized about it. Though I love doing things on my own. I want to be an independent young lady,, but I still think I need my mother.I turned to Ryan who had been saying things I haven't been listening to."Do you think I'm wrong?"I asked."No, you are not. You are always right."He replied."I mean, my parents. Do you think I did too much, by saying I should be treated like an adult?"I asked."No, you didn't. You are eighteen, and you shouldn't be treated like a child anymore. I know you don't like the party because of the people that were invited, and I know how that feels. So you did the right thing, and not the wrong."He replied.We kept on walking and were having a good conversation.Ry
"Where are you going to?"He asked.I remain silent for a while, trying to think of a lie to tell him."I forget some of my stuff, so I want to pick them up."I lied.He remained silent for a while. He looks at me from head to toe and chuckles."Liar. You are dressed differently, and it means you are trying to sneak out."He said.I gulped"No, I'm not.""Stop lying to me Cassy. We both know you are trying to sneak out."He said.I sighed."Okay... Fine. I'm trying to sneak out, but you have to do me a favor by not telling Ryan."I replied.He smiled"I don't do favors like that without getting something in return."He said, and walked closer to me.He touches my hair, and then I knew what he wanted. I removed his hands."I'm in a relationship with Ryan and I don't want to screw it."I said."You can be with the both of us."He replied.He tried touching my waist, but I removed his hands angrily."I can't be with you and be with your friend. It isn't right and we both know it."I said."I'm not l
Yesterday was the worst day of my life. My dream of being with a guy I crushed on was shattered yesterday. I had hope that I will one day be with him, but yesterday I lost hope. All the effort I put in for this guy to notice me was all wasted yesterday, which was our graduation.Remembering the many times he didn't notice me, pains me a lot. Even tears are not enough to express the pain.But today I'm going to move on. I'm not going to cry about a stupid guy, instead, I'm going to find another who will notice me quickly and will love me the way I am.As motivational speakers would say Life is short, and I can't spend my life thinking about a guy who doesn't love me. So I'm giving up even though it's a tough step for someone like me to take, but I'm giving up.I scanned my clock and saw it was twenty-five minutes past seven. It was time for me to get up from bed. On norms, I wake up every day by seven but recently I've been reading a book which is about Lycans and how they find their
"What are you still doing in bed Cassy, it's time to wake up."My mom said.I scratched my eyes to see if it was real or if I was still dreaming."I'll be down in a minute," I replied."Okay, we have something to discuss with you."She said."Is it about my birthday? are you celebrating it for me?"I asked."No, it's not about your birthday."She paused and asked, "And besides when's your birthday?""My birthday is two days from now, "I replied.I was confused. Everything that happened was just a dream? I thought it was real."Are you okay?"She asked, noticing my facial expression. "I'm okay, but I'm confused" I replied."What do you mean by you are confused?"She asked."I had a dream and it felt so real. I forgot it was my birthday in the dream and you surprised me by throwing a party for me. The dream just felt so real to be a dream."I replied.She smiled"It's a sign Cassy. It's the reason why I and your father wants to discuss it with you." she said."What sign? you knew this was goin
"I'll be right back, I need to attend to something important," I said to Patty and was about to walk away when she stopped me."It hasn't been five minutes since you came and you already going, what's wrong?, What do you want to tell me?"Patty asked."Something just happened at home and I need to be there," I replied."We need to talk Cassy. You have something to say to me and I also have something to say to you."She said."What do you want to say?"I asked."I got into Yale" She announced.I was surprised"You got into Yale?"I asked to be sure of what I heard."Yes, I did. I will be traveling in the next three days."She said."Oh, safe journey," I muttered. It was the only thing I could say. I was surprised and dumbfounded at the same time.Patty getting the college of her choice which is more than a thousand miles away from where I live, and also me finding my mate, it means our friendship is over."Are you okay?"Patty asked."I am. I'm glad you got into Yale, and I wish you the best
"Can't we stay longer?"I asked my father."They've made their decision and we are to pack away from here."He replied."They can't just do that because of what happened"I protested."Try putting yourself in their shoes. If something like this happens, I'm sure you would say the same thing. We packing to another safer place, a place where people like us live."He said.I exhaled."We can't just do this. I've spent my whole life in this house."I replied."It is what it is darling."He said and kept packing.I spent my whole life in this house, and packing away from it, is something I don't want to do.My father is right. He is right about telling me to be In their shoes, but it's not just easy for me.There were still a lot of people outsides. The news spread like a wildfire and despite that, there are a lot of gossipers, whose mouth runs like tap water. "Are you going help, or are you going to stand there doing nothing?"My mother asked."I don't know. But if standing here doing nothing is
I cleaned my eyes and pinched my skin to see if it was a dream, but it wasn't. It was truly Ryan, his dark curly hair and his pink lips, the chain on his neck, and the favorite thing I like about him, his mode of dressing. He had everything Intact as usual.But wait, what is he doing here? Is he a werewolf, or a Lycan?He was walking through the woods with a gun in his hands. I wondered what he is using the gun to do.But what if he is a hunter, and that's the reason no one is allowed to pass through the gate? It was getting late already, the moon was already coming out. I don't know if I should meet him, or if I should run away from him.But what if this is my chance, a chance for him to finally notice me? A part of me wants to meet him, and another part of me wants to run.He is someone I know, and I can't run away from him. And If I meet him, we would be together.So I'm left with no choice but to listen to the part of me that wants to meet him.But I have one problem, there's no
