LOGINJulianna POV
As we entered our room Lyra filled me in on everything she knew on the Thane Siblings and the rules and regulations at Paranormal high. "Remember, Julie, there is a curfew here. We can't leave our room after 9 PM," She reminded me.
Lyra then asked to see my schedule of the upcoming classes "Oh Julie, the start of your studies here at Paranormal high is tomorrow, where is your schedule?"
I pointed to the table in my room. "It's right there"
Lyra walked over to grab it and scanned the list of classes. "Ah! We have Witchcraft and Spellcasting together I'm sure you will enjoy the class, trust me it's fun, but..." Here eyes widened as she looked at the rest of my schedule "You classmates for the other subjects are the Thane Siblings"
I raised my eyebrowns in concern, "What's wrong with that " I asked, my voice lased with a hint of defensiveness.
Lyra expression turned serious, with her face looking worried. "Let's just say there are mischievous. They are know for pranks, their rivalries and their complicated relationship. You'll see what I mean soon enough" she warned.
I took my schedule back from her, feeling a bit apprehensive"Thanks for the warning, Lya. I'll be careful," I promised, trying to sound braver than I felt. Lya yawned, stretching her arms over her head. "I'm exhausted from helping you settle in, Julie. I'm going to bed. Good luck tomorrow!" she said, her voice sleepy.
I smiled, grateful for her help. "Thanks, Lya. Goodnight!" I replied, watching as she entered her room and shut the door behind her. I looked at my schedule again. "Thane siblings, huh? Maybe it won't be so bad," I shrugged, trying to stay positive, but deep down, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was in for a wild ride.
The next day, I woke up late, realizing I was running behind schedule, "Shit, I'm late! It's my first day here but I'm already late!" I exclaimed, hurrying to get dressed,I finished tidying up quickly rushed out of my room wondering why Lyra didn't wake me up.
As I rushed to the other building where our classooms were. I look at my watch and groand "Shit! I'm 5 minutes late!" I muttered to myself.
"Ouch!" I moaned when I collided with someone, looking up see who ran into me.
"Why are you being blocked?" He asked irritably.
So l raised an eyebrow at him."Wow, I'm the one who's blocking now. You're the one who hit me." I said angrily then he turned away didmissing me.
"How rude" I thought, shaking my head.
I entered the magical creatures class and our teacher was already there. I swallowed hard before knocking on the door. All the students in the room, including the teacher, looked at me."Ughm .. Hi?" I said, nooding awkwardly.
"You're 5 minutes Late Ms.?"
"I'm sorry I'm late." I replied bowing my head.
"You must be the girl, who got the scholarship to study here at our prestigious, am I right?" The teacher asked me.
"Yes I am ." I answered.
"Come on in, introduce yourself"
I breathed a sigh of relief as I made my way to the center of the classroom. The atmosphere here is very strange, especially since the Thane's are my classmates. They sat at the back but one sit was empty so I decided to sit down there later. So I introduced myself
"Ughm .. Hi? I'm Julianna Harris . From Fall city. Nice to meet you all." I said, smiled at my classmates.
"Fall city? Isn't that the place where humans live?" I look at the one who's asking, it was Caleb.
I nodded then Cameron asked "Are you human?"
"Of course she is. She said Fall city didn't she? Lila replied rolling her eyes. The noisy one seems to be Thanes.
"We're just clarifying" The two twins spoke in unison.
"Take a sit" Lila said to me. I headed towards the empty seat next to Lily who was quiet unlike the rest the Thanes siblings.
As I approach the chair, I felt a strange sensation, like magic pulling the chair away. I ended up sitting on the floor instead.
My classmates burst out laughter as well as the Thane Siblings except for Kaid and Lily.
"Nope... wrong sit." A voice said. My head turned to see the one who's speakingr. My eyes widened when I saw who it was. It was the man who collided me earlier standing at the door. His hand was up in the air, and I realized that he was the one in control of the chair.
You've got to be kidding me" I muttered to myself.
"Hey Scott, why did you come back? Didn't you leave class already?" Lila asked.
My eye widened as I realized "Wait he is Scott"
Cameron POVI woke up in the middle of Professor Elowen’s strategy class.A sharp tang of aged paper hung in the air, mixed with something electric - leftover traces of mana lingered still buzzing under layers of chalk residue. Light poured sideways through high panes, setting tiny specks glowing like sparks caught mid-fall. Nothing seemed out of place. Not a single thing felt wrong.Finding my spot by the window, I flipped the notebook wide, fingers curled around the pen. Up near the chalkboard, Kaid moved fast beside Lily, sketching shapes that tangled into plans most could not follow. Leaning close to the plaster, Scott held still, one brow lifted after a quiet word from Lila. Everyone else stayed silent, gazes fixed where power usually spoke first.From the chalkboard, Professor Elowen shifted her weight. She faced away slowly.“Cameron,” she said, voice calm and expectant. “Simple question. If a phoenix is cornered by t
Caleb POVRunning before my eyes even opened.Frozen ground shook under each step. Needles slapped skin, sharp and sudden. Shapes rushed by without names. Wet wool filled the air, mixed with something metallic - iron close, too close.I was alone.But I could feel him.Cameron.Down the road a piece. Pain shows up. It speaks its name.“Caleb… help…”A thin call split the air between trunks - trembling, quiet, just like that day long ago when he tumbled from the big oak and his breath caught sharp.I ran faster.Something in the trees pushed back. My sleeve caught on a splintered limb. Up ahead, roots lifted from the soil like warnings. Cold air twisted at my feet, thick with fog.“Caleb… it hurts…”Faster, I drove myself forward. Fire filled my chest with each breath. Then - scent hit me. His blood first. Next came sweat, thick and sour. Under it al
Kaid POVFog filled the air when I woke. Broken pieces lay everywhere around me.Nothing left of the courtyard now. Holes pocked the earth where steps once led. Fire climbed jagged rock, reaching skyward. Shapes writhed through smoke, bending without bones. Pupils sprawled in uneven heaps - one coughing, another not moving at all. Red trails marked the stones between them.Fingers slick, the stuff clung thick before I even noticed.Blood soaked my hands, climbing past the wrist. The claws jutted forward, stretched beyond their usual size, unsteady. They glistened, wet, hanging low under their own weight.“What… did I do?”A shriek tore into the fog.Scott.Down he knelt, two dozen paces off, hands pressed tight against his ribs. Red spread across the fabric of his clothes. From that distance, his gaze caught me - those ocean-colored eyes I had seen since childhood.Kaid…” He spoke softly.
Elias POVMy eyes flew open with a shout. Screaming filled the room as I came awake.The belt pressed hard against my chest before I even moved. Down spun the car - ripping metal, shattering glass, sky swapping with ground without warning. This moment had been lived before. That shirt clung tight. Beaten shoes on the floor. Fear rising like smoke."Stop!" I shouted, the very word ripped from me again like before. "Just stop fighting."A loud crash against the metal rail. Smoke rises. The vehicle trembles, teeters at the edge. After that, a slow fall into empty space. Noise fades. Only wind now. Ground far below.The wheels turned. One time. Then again. A third spin. Metal bent down from above. My legs stuck beneath the panel, mashed, lifeless, broken somehow. Blood spilled into my throat. Mother shouted from up ahead. Father said nothing - nothing at all.Fires rose out of the motor’s core.I couldn’t move.Frozen g
Solara POVAwake now, staring at gray steel, sharp scents filling the air around me.The Purity lab.Light bounced off pale walls. Overhead, the glow stung my eyes. Restraints dug into skin at arms and legs. Back in this place once more. Same as when they first dragged me away.“No… not this place again.” The words left my throat sharp, shaky. “Let me go.”I tried to summon fire. Just a spark. Nothing. My phoenix flames — the one thing that always came when I needed them — refused to answer.Out of nowhere, a known voice filled the air from the speakers.“Subject 47. Solara Phoenix project. Let’s begin the mana extraction process.”A sudden movement broke the silence as the doorway parted. It opened by itself, without a sound.Faces peeked from under hoods, coated in plastic shields. A figure stepped forward, gripping glass that hummed with light inside.
Lyra POVI opened my eyes to find the chandelier was already dripping with a liquid, it was blood.Just as the light shined through crimson crystal, making every turning a reflection scarlet. The grand dining hall of the Bloodworth mansion, a room so huge it stretched around me, marble floors gleaming, walls lined with portraits of my grandmother whose eyes always seemed to follow you wherever you went. My black velvet dress hung loose on narrow shoulders, lace sleeves swallowing my hands. The chair beneath me felt too big; my feet didn’t quite touch the floor.I looked down at my plate. A single crystal goblet sat there, half-full of thick, dark liquid. Still warm. The scent hit me—copper and iron and something sweeter, like rotting roses.My stomach turned.The long table was set for a ceremony. Candles burned with red flames. My family sat in their places: Taylor on the left, posture perfect, elder-sister smile already sharpene
Lily POVWe fought like the sky itself was falling.I’d organized the students into wings and lines the way I though was best. “Air, land, shield, healers,” I barked, pushing them like chess pieces. “No one breaks formation!” For a while, it worked. For a while, the monsters stalled under our spell
Scott POVI’d been in fights before—spells gone wrong, monster attacks, sparring matches that got out of hand. But nothing—nothing—compared to this.Kaid and I were getting our asses handed to us. Every strike we threw, every attack we tried, Dominick brushed aside like we were toddlers swinging at
Scott POVWe pushed back into the heart of the wreckage with everything we had left. The air tasted of ash and ozone; the night sky above the school was stained with a crimson column of light, like a wound in the world. Monsters still swarmed—rotting wolves, shadowing bats, things with too many tee
Scott POVKaid’s paws thundered against the ground as he carried me across the collapsing halls of Paranormal High. His massive wolf form tore through debris, dodging falling stone and bursts of fire from the monsters flooding the school.But no matter how fast he ran, destruction was catching up t
