RACHEL

TWO DAYS LATER

I jerked upright, gasping for air. Sweat clung to my skin despite the air conditioning in the room, and my heart pounded like I had run a marathon.

My dream. They were back. Only that this time, it was different. I had barely slept for the past two days. I kept seeing forests, shadows that whispered my name, a howl that didn't sound entirely real, yet it was. Eyes, I couldn't escape…I shuddered as a cold feeling wrapped around my spine, my eyes flickering to the door.

I held the duvet up to my chin as I stared. Nothing was there. Yet…I swallowed back the lump in my throat, staring at the goosebumps raised on my skin. The feelings were now just like the ones from the mall and Bonfire Night. It was just like my life back at Graymoor.

I was the only one in the room, yet I felt those eyes…

I jumped back in fright as a buzz cut through my thoughts. My wide eyes moved to the nightstand where Vox—the device—flashed continuously.

“Shit!” Dragging in a deep breath, I push

    RACHELIt was only a simple question. Why was he getting mad? I believed Clara and Ruby would know, but asking them wouldn’t yield a fruitful result, as they’d expect me to know already.Kevin tossed a wooden dagger towards me. Where had he been hiding that? “Pick it up.”“Are there rules to sparring?” A rule that would involve no killing or trying to choke, because I knew the dagger would do little to nothing to me.“No rules,” he simply said.My fingers had barely touched it as I bent to pick it up, and I was sent flying towards the platform. I groaned as my back slammed the wooden platform. Tiny stars danced in my line of vision, and my vision dimmed.“You didn't even apologize to me after saying some nasty shit like that!” He shouted, whooshing towards me. Kevin made a move to kick me; I dodged the first, rolling away, but I wasn't lucky with the second.His boot-clad foot collided with my stomach. My breath caught in my throat, and a strangled noise hissed past my teeth.“Fight b

    RACHELMy door swung open and Clara danced in, her boots tapping out a lovely rhythm on the floor."It's bonfire night!" She exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.“Bonfire?” I sat up on the bed, questioning. Today was a Saturday, and I had spent the entire day indoors. I had nowhere to go; classes weren't scheduled today, nor was training.That was a good thing because I got to have the day to myself, to think about all that had been happening in my life. I never thought a bonfire would happen. I had never been to a bonfire before. But I knew it was an event when you gathered around a makeshift fire to play some silly games, truth or dare, and to eat popcorn, s’mores, roasted vegetables, and skewers.I could be wrong, though; that was all Lucy talked about to her mother.“Did you forget? It happens a few days after school resumes!” Clara exclaimed, giving me a pointed look like I had done something forbidden.“Judging by your PJs, I believe you forgot, else you'd have gotten dr

  • SWITCHED FATE: TRAPPED IN WEREWOLF ACADEMY BY MATES' BOND   I wasn't helping you

    RACHELI leaned against my bedroom door, gasping, staring at my bleeding hand. I winced, picking at the remnant of the mirror that got stuck into my palm.I tossed it on the floor, watching as the blood flowed even freely.Staggering from where I was, I walked over to the only table I was opportune to have in the attic which was my room, grabbed an old towel laid on it, and wrapped it around my bleeding cut.But that was an honest mistake.The towel had been there for quite some time and I had barely taken it off where it was because I used it to cover the old mirror in the room.As soon as it came off, I heard the voice again.“You're not meant to be alive.”I swallowed, turning to ignore it.“Are you trying to ignore me? You know you always do a terrible job at that.” the voice said. “Do you want to play a game with me, Rachel?”I shook my head, tightly shutting my eyes.“Leave me alone,” I whispered but I could as well be speaking to the air.“Why? I thought we were best friends, R

  • SWITCHED FATE: TRAPPED IN WEREWOLF ACADEMY BY MATES' BOND   We meet again

    RACHEL“Talk about having the shittiest luck ever,” Clara said, as she joined me in the hallway.After I left the clinic, I returned to class. Mr. Wayne suggested I rest, but I didn’t want to go back to the dorm because I wouldn't get the answers to my confusion there.We walked towards our locker. It was next to each other.“What do you mean?” I asked, opening the locker door. It had been impossible to do so yesterday.Because it was locked, I wasn't Ivy, so I had no idea what she had used. I tried several combinations that came to mind, but all of them returned errors until Clara helped me, reminding me that I often forgot to include my birthday. I had tried using the day I believed to be my birthday, and strangely, it had worked.I wondered what else I had in common with Ivy, why things like this hadn't happened all the years I had been suffering in the foster care system, but I waited until I was almost seventeen for it to happen.“What do I mean? That jerk is your ex! Or did you

  • SWITCHED FATE: TRAPPED IN WEREWOLF ACADEMY BY MATES' BOND   Stay away from me

    RACHELI stared at the wall clock, my eyes following the second hand as it moved. I prayed silently for the class to be over soon. You'd have thought yesterday’s class was more challenging to understand.Today was the worst. The professor had called it Monstrum Ecology and was about defense against monsters. Some monsters were mentioned that sounded like he had made up the words, but everyone in the class seemed to understand him better than I did, and they were all nodding to his words.I let my mind wander off. Before sleeping last night, I had made a plan to escape. I didn't want to stay to see what would become of me.However, the problem was in figuring out how to escape. I had jokingly asked Clara if she had thought about escaping the Academy ever since she got here. She had told me students couldn't leave the school because the seer's magic protected every perimeter and they were the only ones who could breach it.Additionally, the spell wasn't just to prevent the students from
