IDRIS LYKAIOSI thought Wilhelmina showing up to my apartment unannounced was already exasperating but the following day became the worst. I’ve been in a vacillating battle with myself all day long. On one end, I’m having this bubbling urge of wanting to see Roger, perhaps strike a private conversation with him about why did he kissed me. I just thought I needed to know the reason behind and I might have to admit that it kept me up all night. That was the very first time in a decade that someone had stroked my emotion the way Roger did. On the other end, I don’t want to see him at all because I’m frightened that I might just falter. I thought I’ve already obliterated attraction out from my vocabulary but that doesn’t seem to be the case.I can’t seem to fathom why I’m having this sudden desire to see Roger in the first place. I don’t even understand why I’m thinking about him and that stupid fucking kiss. It’s been fucking up my mind and I can’t seem to find a way to cease thinking ab
ROGER WILLIS In my dream it was seemingly dark, and what shining light there was seemed to be radiating from the crescent moon above. I was alone in the depths of the woods with my claws and fangs out as I was about to face an enemy that I thought I chased. There was something about him that felt somehow familiar and yet unfamiliar both at the very same time. I couldn’t see his face brought about the brightness but his humanoid form made me think he’s the same kind as me. Overcharged with a rush of adrenaline, we both went berserk, pouncing and howling right at each other. The dream felt surreal as I seemingly felt every blow until I was eventually awoken by a glass shattering. When I opened my eyes, the sun was already inching its way above the horizon and I was quick to notice my window was shattered. I was intensely flabbergasted when I saw a bloody crow flailing on the floor. It must’ve flown directly towards my window but how? It doesn’t seem to be blind and this isn’t like the
ROGER WILLIS“What do you think happened to Wesley?” Diwata asked when we all huddled up for lunch.I had a stinking suspicion about it but I just don’t want to think negatively when things have finally started to turn normal for me. My first week here was rough and I’m already exhausted with all of the stuff that happened to me. I’m not much of an optimistic person myself but I refuse to create this negative narrative inside my head.Wesley quickly grew on us, not because he was bullied by Benjie and the rest of the other kids but because he was genuinely the funniest guy that I’ve met.“Do you think some sort of monster was behind all of this?” Norman uttered dreadfully voicing out what I was running rampant inside my head.“It could be.” Soraya spat backing up Norman’s thoughts. “I picked up some stuff at the grocery store yesterday and I walked by this wall filled with photos of missing people.”“Why are there so many people going missing lately?” Diwata inquired.“Soraya, do you
ROGER WILLISThe day reeled to an eventual end and just like how we planned things, I inched my way towards the art room where I found everyone waiting for my arrival. I don’t know why they chose the art room to perform Soraya’s witch incantations. Perhaps because it’s located at the furthest wing.“Did you get the candle?” Soraya immediately asked the moment she saw me.“Yeah. I got it.” Fishing the candle along with a lighter out of my bag, I ushered myself towards her.“Why do I have a gut feeling that something horrible happened to Wesley?” Norman mumbled out as we all gave him a hard glare. He’s been blatantly pessimistic ever since this morning when he learned that Wesley went missing and it’s not good. “What? We just fought a winged-ghoul vampire thingy who could separate its torso from its legs a few weeks ago.” Norman asserted and perhaps he has a point. We should still expect the unexpected.“He’s right.” Soraya nodded in agreement. Things aren’t adding up. “Wesley’s dad own
ROGER WILLISWhen we all scrunched up inside Ysabella’s car, she refused to drive most definitely because she doesn’t want us looking at her claws. Soraya took up the role once again and I felt extremely ashamed about the lingering fact that I don’t know how to drive. At close inspection, Soraya appeared like she used a lot of her energy trying to find Wesley.“H-how did that happen?” Discreetly pointing at her hands, I began striking a conversation with Ysabella just get a brief of how did her claws grow, they are most definitely werewolf claws. Even for me, I’m still confused that it’s just there and she doesn’t even have any sort of control on it.“Two days ago.” She replied, her eyes were focused right at the window. “They just grew in the middle of the night. I don’t know how, I thought it has something to do with my hormones. I tried cutting them off but they’re just too thick.”“It looks like yours. Should we tell her?” Norman whispered on my ear and I’m pretty sure that’s not
ROGER WILLISYannick was clad with the very same black suit and tie that he was wearing the very first time that he lured me towards the woods. This time, he tied his long hair giving us a full frame of his pale face. It was relatively dim, however, he still looked pretty washed out as if he has anemia.“I-I thought you were long gone.” Ysabella inquired looking much rather astounded to see his older brother. Judging from Ysa’s wide-eyed expression, it seemed that she has absolutely zero idea about his brother coming home.“I told you Ysa, he’s back and he’s here to recruit his own pack.” I trailed reminding Ysa what I just asked her several weeks ago.“Pack? What the hell is going on here?” Ysa asked further shifting her sight from Yannick towards me. She’s a smart girl but it appeared to me that she’s having a hard time connecting the dots here.“Did Idris told you all of that?” Yannick took one step forward. His scent became stronger this time; it’s lingering like a horrible perfum
ROGER WILLIS“Get your hands off of my friends!!!” Dosed in both fear and courage, I yelled at thetop of my lungs as I pinned Yannick’s body against the hard wall.“HAHAHAHA!!!” Seemingly unfazed by what I said, Yannick let out a manic laughter as his own response.He glared over at me and I saw how the rings in his eyes began to glow and somehow squirm like a worm. The faint reddish glow seemed enough to strike a simple level of intimidation towards me. I got distracted by it and that gave Yannick the window of opportunity to strike his attack. He clenched me by the neck prompting me to let go of him just so I could hold his hand.“GrR!” I grunted as I was starting to lose much oxygen.I tightened my grip on Yannick’s arm hoping to pull it away but his grip on my throat was unbelievably strong and tight almost like a vice grip. He gave me a spiteful grin before easily dealing a blow straight to my chest. The blow was powerful enough sending me on the hard ground.That’s just one punc
ROGER WILLISMr. Lykaios showing up out of the blue was both just as unexpected and just what we needed. I certainly felt a huge sigh of relief to see him show up when I’m already starting to doubt myself. I don’t know if I could take Yannick alone when he’s not even exhausted yet and he barely took any actual damage from us. I know I have my friends along with me however, I shouldn’t probably have brought them all along with me. Yannick’s just purely strong alone and quite agile that even with our combined abilities, it’s not just enough to take him down. He easily smashed Norman unto his knee and what could Diwata do?“Mr. Lykaios!!!!” Soraya screamed out and she appeared just as relieved as I am.“Ah, there he is. The man of the hour.” Yannick intoned vocally acknowledging Idris’ convenient arrival. “It looks like someone came to be the hero.”“Whatever you are planning, Yannick. You must stop it right away.” Idris blurted out.“You two know each other?” Ysabella asked.“We used to
