The Witch Sisters and The Wolves

Shaun SmithAlong with my friends, we silently roam the streets of Rome in the middle of the night. We do everything we can to not get the attention of the people around us. But it’s not working because our presence is so strong. We are the type that when we enter a room, anyone's attention will immediately be focused on us, on me.I looked around, sniffing the air as if I were looking for something. “Are you sure about this place?” Ridge, the guy with the gray hair asked boredly as if he doesn’t want to be part of this chase. “If this is another wild goose chase, I swear, I will leave all of you,” Ridge said in annoyance.Tyron rolled his eyes. “You’ve been ditching us for so long yet you're still here with us,” he said lazily and nodded his head. “Don't worry because according to the information I got, we are in the right place.”Ridge scoffed. “And how many times have you endangered us with that information of yours?” he asked, feeling tired of this routine. “You always say we're

Tala HillI was silently staring out the window of the director's car. I watched the passing cars. The old town of Rome still prefers cars on land, now people often use the moving cars that are powered by electricity. Despite the appearance of supernatural beings in the world, that still did not stop the development of technology.It only made people strive to create innovative devices. Maybe they think that that’s the only thing they can use to fight against the unique strength of vampires, the magic of witches and wizards, and the glamor of fairies. But if people really had something to be proud of, that was their intelligence and their uncanny ability to survive.It was only a matter of time before we were at the hospital but I still could not think of a way to escape the director. I would just make excuses along the way. It looks like she will believe whatever I say. After all, I was the top student of the academy and I had nine years of being responsible and trustworthy, so I kne

Tala HillMe and Maya boarded the school bus of St. Marco Academy, along with our classmates and class adviser. We are now heading to one of the historic buildings in Rome. Today is the day that Maya's music contest will be held. It is why we are together with the whole class to support her. Maya is seated next to me. She has been tuning the violin non-stop for a while now. She was obviously nervous and restless.I stopped her hand and looked at her with a smile. “Maya, my beautiful sister. Just relax.”Maya sighed. “I can’t. I’m really nervous. What if I make a mistake? I'll just embarrass our school,” she mumbled.I shook my head in disapproval. “Hey, nothing of that sort will happen. You will never embarrass the school. Believe in your talent, Maya, because we all believe in you. So, have you forgotten what I have told you? When you feel nervous, just look for me in the crowd—”“And you will make funny faces to make me smile,” she finished what I had to say. Maya squeezed my hand.

Shaun Smith I was intently watching the unconscious girl laying in my hotel room. Her long raven-black hair was spilling over the white covers of the bed she was in. My bed. I did not understand but I felt a sudden pride to see her sleeping in the bed I slept in. I really wanted her to open her eyes. So that I could see those amazing pairs of green eyes. But until now the woman is still unconscious. And I seem to want to kill someone when I think of the reason why she was in this situation. Preferably, the life of one of the guys outside my room.I could barely contain my anger when I saw the woman's bloody back. If Chester hadn't stopped me, I might have broken Ash's neck because of what he did. To this day, I still don't understand how the woman was able to bring out that kind of emotion in me. Just like that time in that hospital.The four of us split up to look for the night blooming flower or any information on where it could be found. I was out on the street when I picked up a

Tala HillI didn't want to hear their arguments so I immediately entered the room. I stopped momentarily when I saw the brown-haired guy sitting on the chair on the bed where Maya was sleeping. He was looking at Maya dreamily. I picked up the closest thing to me, which was a bowl, hoping to throw it at him. But the brown haired guy suddenly turned in my direction and when he saw me he was overcome with fear. The fear on his face was like seeing a ghost. The guy turned pale and quickly stood up. “I’m not doing anything bad to h-her. I promise!” he mumbled while raising his hands in surrender. He was trembling.I might have laughed right away when he said those words. If only I was not annoyed by the expression on his face. “Liar. Get the hell out of here!”Following my order, he stumbled his way out of the room. After he was gone, I sat down in the chair he was sitting in earlier. I looked at Maya and removed some strands of hair that were covering her face. I suddenly remembered what
