The One 9. It's weird
LUCAS So George and I had were getting closer and I found him to be quite a cool person. It seemed to me that he would be my closest friend in this town, however, as life had it to be, I might end up not really liking George anymore.It was selfish. I wasn't disputing that, but then, it was how I felt and I couldn't fake it. I couldn't deny it. The issue was quite plain; he loved Tilda and I was pretty positive that I really liked her too. And he had told me he went on a date with Tilda, and as he spoke, I felt like punching him in the face. I didn't want to hear any of it, nothing even a goddamn word. He kept—excitedly, mind you—tellingme how he had fallen in love with her.I knew it was cynical to feel the way I was feeling but if I was being sincere, I couldn't help myself. I guess that was what happened when you really liked a girl. I guess what annoyed me was that George had only asked her out a few days ago...if only I had been quicker. And while I was happy for George, I could
The One 10. Who's coming?
DAMON You know, it's only during our most trying times we know how strong we are. It is only during such times we can see how we can react to certain things. Everytime I have a heartbreak, I realise that I'm way softer than I would like to admit, I begin to see that I tend to not control my emotions as well as I should.What's actually ‘funny’ in this case is I don't know why I should feel heartbroken at all. In the past when I had had my heart broken, I could understand why my feelings were hurt. I could understand why I felt like the world had nothing for me...but that was actually understandable as going through a break-up wasn't easy especially when the relationship was very serious.In the case of Evelyn, I don't get it at all. She had never told me she liked me, she had never told me I was even someone she could hook-up with. Hell, I wasn't sure she liked me neither did I know if there was still someone she liked. Yes, we were about to have a moment—which I initiated—but that d
The One 11. Deep thoughts
EVELYN I have been quite unsettled for a while and it was no doubt that the ‘drama’ I had with Damon was the cause, or at the least, a part of it. I prided myself to be one of good reason, whether that was true or not, it was something I had always said in favour of myself. Well, as it happens to be, I doubt I am of one good anything anymore.To say I was insulted by Damon's act was an understatement, I was mortified. However, while I felt very insulted, I didn't feel he insulted me in any way. It didn't make sense to the ears but I felt it, and so, it was real. I wasn't mad at Damon for kissing me, not even a little bit. Hell, I went into his house that day half expecting that. And when he held me, a sort of feeling that I didn't know existed engulfed me, after many years of not being in a relationship, it was so surprising that I could feel that way. That I could feel that heat that burned fiercely, violently, forcefully...yet, I wanted it to consume me wholly.Oh, how his body tre
The One 12. Declan visits
EVELYN I hadn't gotten used to the fact that Declan hadn't aged one bit. He still looked like he was in his twenties..and that was particularly annoying cause he was old enough to be my great-grandfather. I knew he was about three hundred years old but it was shocking nonetheless to see him unchanged when I was far from the person I was.“Evelyn, I have two things to discuss with you about.” He said, his voice as gentle as ever.“Two things? Shoot.”He began to speak. He said firstly he wanted to talk to me about Lucas and the second was about ‘us'.Us? What the hell did that mean?He said he was interested to know why Lucas couldn't use his powers. It was disturbing to him to know that Lucas couldn't use magic at all even though he came from a family that had powerful magic. He stated that he was simply concerned about it because he knew that many sorcerers in the modern day, couldn't use their powers.“Of course, Lucas has magic, it's more about an issue of choice, I really don't l
The One 13. Mrs Haughter spills tea
LUCAS I had never had sex. Like never. Now, this didn't bother me but I was however very curious on how it would feel. I mean, I'm sure I have an idea or two, courtesy of porn videos and friends’ testimonials, but I would really love to have it myself. To get to know how it feels first hand.Of course I was very much aware that when it came to things like sex, waiting was never a bad idea. People that involved in premature sex often regretted it later as the mind has to be just as prepared as the body...and more often than not, the body matured first.I didn't, however, see myself as too young to engage in sexual activities. I was sixteen and in all of my years, I had never heard a certain age that was set for people to have sex...as long as it was consensual and not between an adult and a minor, it was fine. I wasn't in any way worried that I would get laid late and would be seen as a weirdo or anything like that. It was more like a genuine concern or simply my curious mind doing wh
The One 14. What am I?
LUCASMrs Haughter seemed to know a lot about the ‘bond bracelet’. What was funny was that I didn't know it was called a bond bracelet, well, it had been on me for only sixteen years.She had very shocking things to say about the bracelet. Things that made me see my mother as one big liar. That was the shocking bit though. I knew my mother had been lying about something, I knew that since I was little. She wasn't a very good liar so I had caught her lies on several occasions.The story my Mum told me when I was little was that my father was a soldier who went to war in a foreign country but was killed in battle. I bought that story till I was eleven...and at that point I had began to reason a little more. If my Dad was a war hero, why didn't I have videos, pictures or anything that would make me know that he existed. With all these in my mind, I had challenged my mother. I had demanded for honest answers because her story had many holes which she had tried to cover. It didn't work.Wh
The One 15. Changing
TILDAChanging for every werewolf meant different things. I mean, it was ideally the same thing but meant different things to every werewolf. To most it was a time they felt free, to some it was a time they felt more powerful, to some it was a time they felt like royalties, a time they felt special. Generally, changing was always a wonderful experience for werewolves.Well, not to me though. I wouldn't pretend that I didn't love the way the metamorphosis felt… though it was estatic. Even beyond that. I wouldn't lie that I didn't crave the power I felt whenever I changed. The feeling I always got wasn't something that could ever be expressed in words. But then it wasn't an issue of whether I felt good or not but rather an issue of control. A sort of tug between the wolf and the man.There were questions I had about the nature of werewolves and that was funny as I was one myself. Me being a werewolf didn't mean I understood the whole nature of werewolves. I didn't and I had many unansw
The One 16. Fly with a dragon
TILDA“I keep telling you,I keep telling you but you never listen.” My mother said, as she shoved cereals into her mouth.It was almost 7am in the morning and me, my brother, Mason, my mum and Dad, were having breakfast at the table. We were all having cereals, or better put, we all had a bowl of cereal in front of us but only my Mum managed to eat though her mouth kept running.“The Moon Night is always dangerous, you have to have someone with you, there are many girls your age you should move with.”Dad disagreed. “That is just nonsense, she isn't at fault, she didn't try to violate herself, it was that pumpkin faced simpleton and that's who we should be putting the blame on.”“I will rip him apart, I'll do that.” Mason said, barely having eye contact with anyone. He seemed calm but he was boiling inside.“I will contact Declan, he will take care of this.” Mum chipped.“You will what? I'm capable of dealing with that little monkey with the IQ of meat,” Dad yelled.“I won't put my be
