Tala Hill I could not believe what I heard. If I understood correctly, they say that Mayari would bring them to the place they were searching for. The place where other werewolves live peacefully. “Moon Goddess?” Mayari asked, confused.“Yes. They say that during the war, the silver emperor decided that the only way to stop the bloodshed was to find a safe place for all werewolves. But not all werewolves were able to go with him. So he made a back-up plan. His witch friend helped him to make a spell, a spell that could bring the others to this place. That’s the reason why the spell was formed and it was called the moon goddess. And you are that moon goddess, Maya,” Shaun continued. I heard about the silver emperor. They said he was the silver wolf who led the rebellion of the werewolves against the vampires. This is said to be the strongest of all werewolves. ”How are you even sure that there is such a place? Or if that moon goddess thing is real?” I question him. “Are you sure th
Tala HillIt’s been a week since we returned to the academy. Everything was almost back to normal. Almost. Maya was talking to me again but there was coldness in the way she was treating me. This is especially evident when I refuse whenever she forces me to tell her the events of our father’s death. Maya also couldn’t understand my desire to protect her from that nightmare. I get it. She’s mad at me for lying to her.The only good thing that happened was the change of the arrival date of the Headmistress. She was supposed to come back two days ago but according to the director, the Headmistress had a sudden appointment. I did not ask when she would be back. I was just thankful that somehow our supposed encounter was postponed because my excuse about us being gone for more than a days will definitely not work with the Headmistress. To this day, I still cannot think of a way to explain our disappearance without telling the truth.I just sighed and looked at the dark night sky from the w
Shaun Smith“Sshh. Everything will be fine,” I gently whispered to Tala. Her whole body was shaking because of too much crying. I hugged the girl even tighter. The day she left with Maya, we had been watching outside the siblings’ school every day. We almost lived there. When I removed the antimagic item from Tala’s neck, I was expecting her to escape from us. I knew that we couldn't just let Maya help us. What I didn’t expect was that they could escape from us so easily. Who would have thought that Tala could fly? I guessed if push comes to shove, it can do anything.We had been patrolling the school premises since then, hoping that we could talk to the two again. But they never came out, not once did we see them. But what really frustrated me the most was my strong desire to see Tala. I did not even think about our search for home. The only thing on my mind was the girl. Her face, her voice, her beautiful set of eyes, her scent. For seven agonizing days, all I wanted was to see her
Tala HillI slowly opened my eyes. I could not see where I was. There was just a faint light in the room I was in. I was still groggy as if something hit my head hard. When I finally opened my eyes, I got up quickly because of what I saw. I was inside of some kind of a barrier. Even though I was not an expert when it comes to magic, I knew instantly that it was made of powerful magic. I scanned the room. I still feel groggy. I remembered what happened and how I got here. But only one thing clearly entered my mind. Mayari was gone. I held my head, I’m having a headache. My sister was taken and I did not even do anything to stop him. I closed my eyes again and did everything to try to contact Mayari through telepathy. But no matter how much I racked my brain, I still could not communicate with Mayari. I also wonder why she doesn’t try to talk to me either. I could only think of one possible reason. She was also probably unconscious.“I can’t do this, Maya. Please come back,” I pleaded.
Tala Hill“You are unbelievable, Kyndra. I should have known.” I heard the headmistress say. “You are the only one who had the courage to hide your nieces from the coven. If they’re witches, then they should have been in the safe confines of the coven. To help them control their magic. Look at the results of what you did, she can barely control her magic,” the headmistress added. Aunt Kyndra scoffed. “I will never entrust my nephews to the coven. They have done enough damage to me and my sister. I won't and will never let them even control my nieces,” Aunt Kyndra said.I could feel the underlying anger in my Aunt's words. I did not think that she had a deep hatred for the House of Hecate.“Then why did you hide them here? You forgot I'm one of them.”“Because I know they will be safe here. After all, you can cast one heck of a protection spell. What harm can you do if you don’t know who they are? It's just that, you really picked a bad time to have a vacation and you came back too la
Tala HillI was restless for a while. My mind was full of questions. About the moon goddess, the golden emperor, to the vampire who took Maya, and only one person can answer all of that. And that person was still not here. Everyone is back from running, we have drunk all the tea we can drink, but Aunt Kyndra is still not here. Is she still talking with the headmistress? “What’s taking her so long?” I asked myself, nervous that she might have gotten hurt.My question was answered when there was a sudden snap in the air. A portal suddenly appeared and Aunt Kyndra emerged in the middle of the living room. Parts of her clothes were charred, her pants became short shorts and the end of her short hair looked like it was burnt. “Oh, hey, guys!” She greeted us with a smile.“What happened to you?” I asked. “Simone and I just had a little catfight,” she scoffed, as if she was tired.Cat fight? It was more than that. It looks like she fought a war with a hundred soldiers, but she doesn't have
Tala Hill“Hey! Hey! One at a time. You are making me dizzy. All of you, just calm down,” Aunt Kyndra said to us.After she said the things that she said, the five of us started asking questions at the same time. Just what a vampire needs in a werewolf paradise. Aunt Kyndra stood up from sitting and stretched her body.“I am hungry,” she said suddenly before looking at the four men. “You, the four of you, go hunt some deer or a rabbit. Just whatever we can eat for lunch. And while you are at it, get some firewood,” she commanded. They were about to complain but Aunt Kyndra immediately raised her hand to silence them. “Hurry up!” she shouted.Chester shook his head and went out while Tyron followed, Ridge continued to complain but eventually went out as well.“I know you are letting us go so you and Tala can talk, but don't think that we already let you off the hook. You still have to answer our questions,” Shaun said before turning to me and smiled. “I will be back.” After saying that
Chapter 22Tala HillI was robbing my stomach as we had just eaten lunch. Shaun and the others brought in a deer and a rabbit. That was the first time I ate the meat of such animals. If Mayari was here with us she would definitely not allow us to eat the poor creatures. I even thought that the food they brought was too much for us, but we almost lacked. I did not think that they would eat so much food. They are big eaters, I guess. Well, they're men. But what else did I expect? They were werewolves, it was only natural that they eat a lot.We were back in the living room discussing our next plan of action. A world map lay before us. There are push pins placed in five different places around the world. They were all scattered on different continents. “What are push pins for?” Tyron asked, putting his index finger on his chin.“Hmm. This was the number of castles the Mintis clan have across the whole world,” Aunt Kyndra answered. She had already told the four men about Silvanus Mintis b
