THE SCROLLS: RISE OF THE TRUE ALPHA.

Chapter 02.RETURN OF AN OLD FRIEND.Clary's POV.Pushing the door open, I walked into my room, flicked the switch on the wall with a finger as I put on the light, then I shuffled some steps towards the couch across the room and then settled on it. Placing my head on the headrest of the couch, I glanced at the ceiling for a moment as tears trickled down the length of my face. Thinking that I worked so hard with hopes of raising some money to pay Mrs Williams for the rent only to be disappointed in the end made it hurt the more. Nonetheless, I knew that there was nothing I could do about it. Although, he was right: if I wanted to remain a decent girl then I shouldn't have gone there to work in the first place. However, If I'd decided quit when Russell gave me the option to, then I would only have myself to blame in the end. If anything, I only had one more year before completing my education and that meant one more year to stay there.“One more year wouldn't hurt, Clary.” I said, m

Chapter 04.A BAD DAY.Clary's POV.“Clary? Clary!”I flinched, my pen escaping my grip as I returned to the moment.“What are you doing?” Gracie asked, speaking through her teeth as she glanced over her shoulder. “You haven't written a thing yet. What were you thinking about?” I glanced at the answer sheet on my desk and realized that it was as blank as my mind. Exhaling sharply, I scrubbed a hand over my face. I could have sworn that I only glanced at my wrist for a moment. Or so I thought. However, the thought that I'd some kind of black blood all the while and no one told me anything about it just didn't make any sense.Besides, why couldn't I have figured it on my own? I mean, there should have been situations that would have helped me realize this sooner. But then again, it was rather strange that I couldn't recall any? Nonetheless, the foot of my chair scraped the tiled floor as I pushed it back in an attempt to pick up my pen. However, as I lowered myself and extended a han

Chapter 06.THE ENDGAME.Clary's POV.As I stood upright and turned back to face the people behind me, I noticed that some of them turned their faces away from me. But I cared less if they saw what I did or not. All that mattered was that I'd given him a taste of his own medicine for squeezing my butt the previous day. Actually, I wanted to return to clear his table because for all I cared, he was done drinking. However, as I attempted to take a step from where I stood, I heard the sound of sirens wailing from a distance.“Of course, one of you must have called the cops.” I said, muttering the words under my breath as I swept my eyes all over the place.I wasn't looking for the person who must have called the cops. If anything, he only did that out of fear and concern that I might eventually hurt the man beyond what I did. And trust me, I don't blame whoever it was.Nonetheless, I spotted a man sitting close to the window. It was as if he was trying to look in my direction, but each

Chapter 08.A MISUNDERSTANDING.Clary's POV.“It's not what you think, Mrs Williams.” I said, shaking my head. “You are getting it all wrong.” “Oh, really?” she said, narrowing her gaze at the words. “What am I getting wrong here? Or have I suddenly gone blind that I don't know what's going on right now? You're leaving, Clary. And that's it. You just shut the door and the young man standing beside the car over there has just put your bag in the trunk of the car. So, what exactly am I getting wrong.” “There's a situation right now.” I said, without an idea of how to help her understand what was going on. “However, that's all I can say to you right now. You need to understand me, Mrs Williams. I'm not trying to run away.” “But that's exactly what it seems like you're trying to do right now.” she said, her voice rising to a scream. “Else why would you tell me you would pay up your rent by Saturday. You knew that it wasn't possible. All you wanted was for me to leave so that you can ru

Chapter 10.FAITH AND FEAR.Clary's POV.“Where are we going?” I asked, the sound of dead leaves crumpling under my boots as I followed behind Reggie. “We have been walking for the past ten minutes, yet it doesn't seem like we've made any progress.” “Just a little more.” he paused, turning back to face me. “We will soon arrive.” “Alright then, just a little more.” I said, exhaling sharply as I swept my eyes all over the place. “I just hope we don't eventually lose our way.” “Have some faith; we won't.” he said, with a shrug of his shoulder. “I know this woods like the back of my palms because I've been here longer than you think.” “Well, it doesn't matter. The sun's down; we need to find some place to rest.” I said, watching my steps. “We don't know what could be out there. The last thing I would want is to leave my home only to end up dead here.” “No one is going to end up dead, Clary.” he paused, and turned to face me again as he shook his head. “Well, at least not today.” “Mo
