Mag-log inAdrian held Sarah’s hand as space folded around them.
The world twisted. For a moment Sarah felt weightless, like her body was being pulled apart and stitched back together at the same time. The air changed instantly. Cold. Heavy. And the smell— Blood. Sarah’s eyes widened the moment the scenery stabilized. Deep within the woods, surrounded by dead trees and shattered stones, stood a group of figures cloaked in black. And in the middle of them was Kate who was being bound on the ground. Her face was soaked with tears, her body trembling violently. “Please…” Kate’s voice cracked weakly. “Please don’t…” Sarah’s heart nearly stopped. “KATE!” The sudden scream echoed through the forest. Everyone froze. John looked over with shock. Kate Cole (Sarah sister) eyes widened, her body shakes violently as if she was being Caught stealing. While zero, whose sword was already lifted up in the air, stood quietly, although his face showed no emotions, but one he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. He was raised to be a professional demon assassin. And no one can escape his detection. But Sarah and Adrian did just that without him detecting anything. What was Adrian power actually? Now he thought about it. Adrian had never used any of his power to fight them. He only used raw strength. And that strength was more than enough to take care of them. “Ka… Kate, what are you doing here” Kate Cole walked forward, her eyes blazing like fire. Although she felt shocked, she wasn't glad to see Sarah, her sister here. Especially when she wants to exterminate her friend. “WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING? WHY IS KATE TIED? WHY IS HE HOLDING A SWORD LIKE HE IS TRYING TO KILL KATE AND WHY IS SHE BOUND, LIKE A THIEF” Sarah screamed in fury. Her energy for the first time matches her sister's own. Kate was out of words. This was the first time her sister had talked to her in that tone. Even that look made Kate choke on what she was wanting to say. Adrian just stood at a corner, his aura and presence disappearing, not leaving a trace of him around only his body who lazily leaned on a tree, and his eyes were closed as if he was asleep “I AM SAYING SOMETHING, WHY CAN'T SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE!!” Kate demanded. She was extremely shocked when her friend, her best friend, was tied and bound like a lamb ready to be sacrificed. And the ones who did that. Are non other people than her sisters and her team. A team she agreed on helping. And she was about to be kept in the dark. Forever. “Sarah is not what you think” Kate Cole, Sarah's sister said slowly… “she__” before Kate could finish everything Sarah cut her off. “She what__ And you didn't think to let me know first.” Sarah's emotions erupt. She was never going to take it lightly with any one that touches the people dearest to her. And Kate has managed to prove her worth in Sarah's life. And she will be damn if she agrees to let anything happen to her. “Sarah! Sarah! Please help me” Kate's voice resounded, as Sarah looked forward before rushing forward to help. “Don't worry Kate, I will get you out of here. Nothing will happen to you” Sarah hurriedly loose the rope tied to Kate. “Hurry Kate, these people ain't human beings. That man over there is a blood sucking demon” in a moment of rush, Kate exposed the truth. Sarah's hand that was losing the bind, paused. Her eyes stared at Kate with surprise. Adrian, who was leaning lazily beside the tree, opened his eyes. His eyes fixed on Kate. There was dead silence as everyone looked at Kate. What fate did she decided for herself.Sure enough. B class came out 2nd. And Anthony and Kate, who was currently in D class, came out first. Adrian didn't put this to mind. Because there wasn't anything special about those rewards. He only gave Sarah a nod when he saw her coming out, as he walked away. Sarah looked at the retreating figure walking away. Although she took second, she wasn't happy with that. Who would have thought her sister and her teammate were too good. Only God knew how difficult she had managed to secure the second position. Countless students came around to congratulate her. Which made her feel uncomfortable. Before they had been mean to her, because she almost exposed their identities. But now seeing how they try to get in her good book just made her feel warily. And she knew most of this had to do with Adrian's influence. But what she didn't understand was. Why? Why did he have to always protect her, even when he rejected her? Was it because she saved him?Although zero injured him. But she
“Oi oi. Calm down tiger, don't go pouncing on me” Edward chuckled slowly. Although he was sure he wasn't Adrian's match. But as a fox demon. He had the ability to detect one's emotions. And he was 80% sure that Adrian won't attack him, or put it to heart. Although that 20% was that Adrian has never followed the rules. Always acting the way he wishes. But regardless, he bet everything on that 80%. Sure enough, Adrian looked the other way, and walked off. To him Edward wasn't any threat to him. What if he knew? He wasn't scared. What if he tells anyone? He wouldn't care. But he was sure that the cunning fox wouldn't go around spitting things about him. Adrian took a swing of his cigarette before butting it down with his boot heel. He lazily looked at what the councils were doing. To him, they were performing. And he was getting sick watching them. If they really wanted to showcase their powers, then they could have easily done that after all this was done. What was the need for thi
All eyes stared at Sarah, making her feel uncomfortable. She swiftly moved away from Adrian. This in turn made him frown in displeasure, but he kept mute observing the situation. Laura and the councils turned away. But one could see the exact shock on their faces. Especially the woman who was part of the councils. Her stare for some reason caught Adrian attention. He noticed that she had given him that deep look when he first arrived at the airport with Sarah. The councils gathered around forming a small circle. Right now they are the strongest right now. The man suddenly leapt into the air, transforming into a large black eagle. The eagle flew high through the dark skies, its wings slicing through the cold air. The clouds slowly turned black as thunder rumbled above. Then it let out a loud, terrifying scream that echoed through the heavens.As it opened its beak, fire burst out in a fierce blaze, lighting up the dark clouds while the mighty eagle continued soaring through the cloud
The luxurious bus took the students to the school airport, where they would board a paratrooper that would take them directly to their destination. Adrian saw Laura waiting for them. She wore a thick black jacket, and Jeans, with a black Boot to go. Her hair is tired pony tail, which brought out her beauty and youthful age. Any one who saw her would think she was at her prime. Adrian noticed the presence of three more people, which Mr Johnson being among them. The look on his eyes passed a message to Adrian that he had forgotten about the last grievances caused to him. This made Adrian understood that he had climb over the wall. The other two was a man in his late forties and a woman. This were the councils sent to oversee the tournament. The woman looked at Adrian for a second before changing focus on Sarah who stood beside Adrian. This made everyone feel surprise. No one has ever gotten nearer to Adrian talk less of standing besides him. “Alright let's begin, you can come over
“How's she?” A hooded figure covered in black. Looked at Mia who laid on the bed covered in bandage around her chest area. This hooded figure was the one who helped Mia the last time. “She's fine for now. The sword was targeted to kill her” The Mia maid explained. “Two in a roll. First was Adrian, and second is someone we don't know anything about. And this is very dangerous.” The mystery figure thought loudly. “Do you think she was targeted because they found out about her?” “Don't say that. Although I can't overrule that. I will definitely keep my eyes on the academy councils. I am sure if what you are saying is true then that person would try to report the matter, in other he can receive great benefit. And that's our clue to catch him or her. But before that I will be on my way” The mysterious figure looked at Mia. “If she wakes up. Tell her, her father is angry and scared for her. Although she's bent on fulfilling her duty to him. He is more worried for her. And his best wish
“Mi lady! What's going on? What happened to you? Why are you bleeding?” A maid cried as she ran to Mia who laid on the cold floor bleeding from her chest. That strike was lethal and deadly. Because zero wanted to end her life at that point, so he planned on giving her a strike that would end her in a bit. But she still managed to escape regardless, all thanks to her fathers talisman. And since one of them got broken. That means her talisman remained one, and after she used it, she would be hopeless. With no sought of protection talisman again. Mia honestly thought that the protection talisman was to defend against Adrian. In the upcoming confrontation. She could already feel the mark reacting strongly. That means they were going to have a confrontation between each other.. But now they were someone else. That person was deadly. The next dayIn the academy. The school is filled up with people, students walking towards the podium. Many were eager, while some detested competition like
Third POV“Come with me” Adrian walked through the woods. Hands in his pockets. Sarah follows suit, unsure of what was about to happen. She didn't know if she did the right thing in telling him or if she was just too foolish as Adrian said. After walking a while. They reached the depth of the wood
Sarah POV “Control it.” His voice dropped lower and sharper this time. It was not a suggestion but an order. My breath hitched as something in me responded. My wolf. It stilled. Just for a second. And that scared me more than losing control. Because my wolf didn’t listen to anyone. Except—
Sarah POV“You look worse, are you alright?” Kate stopped me just as I reached the door of my class room. Looking at me with concern on her face, I suddenly had the urge to cry. I don't know why this hurts so badly. Adrian's rejection really dealt a kind of blow to me. And my wolf raged with fury a
Sarah POV “Why were you following me around like a lost puppy” My breath hitched. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. I was meant to approach him… not get caught by him. I turned back, my breath caught in my throat. He was close… way too close, that I could almost feel his breath. He smelle
