The Phantom Queen Chapter 8: Weird Talk and the Lies After
SAGEI didn't know if it was a good thing for all of us but classes were shortened by fifteen minutes after another person had gone missing for the fourth time. Three days had already passed since Ethan had gone missing. The rest of the persons who had disappeared for four months-long were from the other school while Ethan was the first from Stormhill High. Not to mention, someone was murdered this time and I bet it was giving my Mom a migraine already. I'd heard that the dead kid was also from the other school which gave me the conclusion that the students of Rassler Academy were being targeted and Ethan just got caught in it.That must be the case on why this was happening to my friend.As I sulked in my seat, the teacher was lecturing about the composition of magma when a crumpled paper landed on my desk, almost scaring the soul out of me. Knowing it was from Val who was sitting behind my seat, I glanced over Mr. Dawson first before taking the paper in my hand and opened it under t
The Phantom Queen Chapter 9: The Debris of War
VALKYRIETo say I was beyond ecstatic was underrated. My mate had accepted our connections without any difficulty and it felt surreal to me. To think that Sage had an unprejudiced soul even though I didn't entirely explain things in detail to her—— that I was in fact, a werewolf. She just trusted me so easily and I would be a fool to break that so I was pondering about what to do with that Ethan. How could I tell Sage that he was under our care while the town was looking for his whereabouts? How could I prevent myself from lying to her without telling her the terrible truth?"Val, are we ready now?" Vance asked, pulling me out of my deep thoughts.I whirled around to make eye contact with the scout team I'd gathered for tonight. The moonlight blessed us with its waxing gibbous curse as it pasted in the sky with a white glow, overlaying the darkness of the wood but created more shadows instead. The breeze was cold but wasn't enough to slip into my black parka jacket and cargo pants. Ne
The Phantom Queen Chapter 10: The Pavement Forward
VALKYRIEDeath is an inevitable consequence in our lives. It is a timeless wonder that can't be stopped as it ends in a collision of two rocks, in a burst of a raindrop, while others fade out slowly. It is mysterious and has no physical form and yet, it's tremendously legendary among all others and has more impact than life itself. Throughout your life, you can be anything you want but in death, you can be everything and at the same time, nothing at all.Everyone has a clock inside them, ticking and circling in repeat. Then it crumbles like bread falling into dust once the loops expire. Our kind wasn't an exception as ours were supposed to be more elongated and yet, humans were proven to be at the top of the pedestal when it comes to surviving and reproducing. Surely because we were facing a more dangerous way of life as we were designed by the curse of the moonlight.But why did my existence bring demise to the maiden who was sleeping innocently in her own world? Why it had to be me
The Phantom Queen Chapter 11: Intrusion to Doubts
VALKYRIEMeet the parents? Why not? It wasn't like I'd be dead after this because in fact, they could never hurt me physically. However, the moment I was sat on the chair, listening to Sage's Mom asking why I trespassed into her daughter's room, I was stupefied beyond imagination. My mate's home was giving off a warm vibe as it was simple and yet full of love. They even had a set of framed family photos on one part of the wall in the hallway while the scent of the coffee and bacons invading my nostrils made me feel somehow calm. But of course, it wasn't a big deal when you were finally sitting in front of your future beloved wife's two mothers seeking for their approval. Note the sarcasm there, folks.For someone working in authority, Sage's other Mom looked like she wouldn't even hurt a fly but once I heard the deepness of her voice, the authoritarian tone in it, it gave complexity to her personality. She was already in her uniform, her raven black hair was braided neatly around the
The Phantom Queen Chapter 12: Deeper than Before
SAGESomeone definitely dropped a bomb in my mind as it wanted to explode with so much information, or rather an unbelievable revelation. My brain was in the loop, cycling through the words that it had acquired seconds ago. And it wasn't helping when the ocean eyes I had begun to adore sullen down into dread as she stared at me. Apparently, they held meaning and they held truth which I couldn't handle at all.It must be a lie, right? The demise of my ex was still unknown and yet, here she was, telling me that she had something to do with his disappearance."No," I finally uttered after what seemed like forever, my eyes firmly at Val. "No, you're lying. Why would you kidnap him? He's irrelevant?"Val almost snorted, but I heard an amount of it before she stopped herself. She clamped her lips inward before speaking out, "Sorry, but I certainly didn't kidnap him and I'm telling you the truth. Ethan Haynes is on our property and recovering from 'the attack'. He's irrelevant though, indeed
The Phantom Queen Chapter 13: The Consecutive Discoveries
SAGE"So...That boy is your ex?" Esther asked, scrunching her nose in curiosity."Yes, he's more than that though, at least for me," I said, turning my head to look at the overlooking view of the woods as we'd decided to rest on the balcony of the villa on the second floor. The breeze of the fresh air soothingly calmed my troubled heart after I'd seen Ethan's state. However, I was more than relieved that he was alive and recovering. Val was with her brother as Vida had requested to talk to them about something private after we left Ethan in the clinic."Oh, you're still not over him? Yikes, Val would be devastated.""No!" I denied her assumption immediately. "It's not like that. Ethan is just—He just helped me get through something traumatic. He was there when I'd decided to isolate myself——even from Gwen and Cayde. So he's important to me.""Then why did you guys break up?" Esther asked further but then, she wavered. "Oh no, sorry. That's really not my business."I shook my head. "No
The Phantom Queen Chapter 14: The Echoes of Nature
SAGEAfter I painstakingly placed a set of stones in an oval shape on the ground, I gestured my hand to Val, telling her to hand out the fire log Simon had brought for us. But instead, she stood up and carried the picnic box with her and sat on the trunk with me."Are we really doing this?" she asked, placing the wooden logs in the middle of the stones I'd gathered. "Cooking is not my specialty."I chuckled. "Don't worry, I got it. My Moms and I love camping so we always do this kind of things. Though it's been a long time since we'd done it with just the three of us.""Why is that?" Val asked while pouring the bottle of fuel all over the logs.Clamping my lips, I stared at the sight of the beautiful view in front of me. When was the last time we'd done it? Yes, it was seven months ago before my younger brother passed away. Once I realized I'd zoned out, I withdrew myself back to reality and turned to Val, curving up a little smile. "Mom's been busy lately with, you know, searching fo
The Phantom Queen Chapter 15: The Skirmish of the Past and the Future
VALKYRIEThe softness of her lips on mine gave me a sense of bliss within. Cupping her jaw while enveloping my arm around her waist, I pulled her body against mine, earning a soft moan from her. That little sound coming from her drove me crazier, urging me to tilt my head, to ravish her lips more firmly but making sure that I was gentle. At that moment, my passion for her ignited like an ever-bright flame. Nothing could ever compare on how my existence elated at the fact that I was kissing the blessing that the moonlight had bestowed upon me. The way our lips molded together with each other proved that we were a harmonized being fated to be with each other.And once we mutually parted, we both sighed in contentment. I opened my eyes to see hers glued on mine with the reflection of desire. The sight of her face glittered by sunlight above imprinted in my mind, storing it as an immortal memory."I—— I can't believe that we just kissed," she murmured, fastening her mouth in shyness.A s
