"Mmm." I mumbled nonsense beneath my breath as my body unconsciously shifted on the hard dirty ground.
Pebbles and dirt rubbed roughly against my skin, causing my face to scrunch up in annoyance.
My eyes fluttered open reluctantly, greeting the dark clearing I was laying in.
The fire that we started was close to burning out and Liza and I were sprawled out beside it without a c
"That bitch!" The maid squealed in surprise as a vase flew pass her head and smashed against the sky-blue walls. Her little body trembled in fear as she nervously stood to the side and waited, her hands folded behind her back. The raging woman turned her vengeful gaze towards the maid. "How long do I have before he gets here?" "T_ twenty more minutes ma'am," came the maid's stuttered response. The woman then began to pace the length of the room as she muttered curses upon curses beneath her breath. Her blue eyes were occasionally shifting towards the door to her room anxiously. Her black hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Her friend, who sat in the armchair lazily, glanced up from her phone with a frown, "Tiana, you're going to burn a hole into the door if you don't stop that." Tiana threw up her hands in frustration and turned to her silver haired friend, "what am I supposed to do then!? That witch bitch went and freed the
This again... I stared at the black canvas before me as many tiny specs began to appear. As I stood there, refusing to at least try to run away like the last time, I watched as those tiny specs began to expand slowly into bright, purple stars, glittering all around me. It was a beautiful sight... and if I was really interested in astrology then I would have wanted to capture this moment by taking a picture. Beneath me, I could see even more stars as I stood on nothing but air. It was like the universe called to me... urging me to see what I was meant to see. Last time though, I only saw the neighbour’s kid. Which wasn't much help since I couldn't determine whether it was past, present, or future. Why were these visions even coming to me now at a time like this? What was I supposed to see? I placed my hands on my hip as I blinked at the stars before me. "What the hell do you want from me?" No response was heard. Everything was e
"So, here's what I figured out," I made surethatI'vegained both of theirattentionbefore continuing, "The beasts within all werewolves of Sylia are being suppressed by Tianna. We've already kind of figured out that much but I've figured out exactly howit'sbeingdone and the spells that are being used.""What's going on then?"Liza asked."Double edged spells, meaning spells that coul
"What are you doing?" Liza asked from behind me.I ignored her question and continued to search the clearing for something sharp and jagged. There was no time to waste. The quicker we accomplished this the better.I spotted a seashell across from me and hurriedly picked it up, rubbing my fingers across its edges to test it's strength and sharpness. It seemed sharp enough.Hopef
"Ten minutes sure feels like ten hours... and I'm hungry as hell, my back feels sore, and I feel like I've been baked in mud. When is this going to be over!? I wanna cry, look at me," Liza rambled on and on as we walked through the forest, "how are we even going to know when they're ready?"I glanced over at her as I ducked under a tree branch, "they're demons, trust me we'd know.""Speaking of, are you sure that was a wise idea, summoning them? Like wasn't there an easier option?"
Oomph! I fell onto the solid floor beneath me and flinched at the impact as I landed on my legs and tumbled onto my back. I curled up in pain as my body throbbed from the harsh impact to the ground. "Fucking hell," I groaned, using my hands to weakly lift myself up slightly. This was no time for me to be whining. Luckily, I didn't break anything. It felt like a long fall but at the same time I didn't end up as bloodied soup so I could only assume it wasn't as long as my brain imagined it to be. I pushed through the pain and sat up on my butt, trying to catch my breath as my lungs struggled for air. My eyes lifted up towards the right side of the room almost as if on instinct, narrowing in alarm. "Are you hiding from a wounded witch?" I asked, staring at the dark corner tauntingly. Although my face was probably cold and terrorizing, my insides trembled in fear of what might become of me. A snort was heard before the lights in the room flicked o
AXIL'S POV Nothing in the world could describe how I was feeling right now, at this very moment, as the connection between my pack and I suddenly blossomed. Thousands of voices collided within my mind as I felt the bombardment of many different emotions. From confusion to happiness to relief then anger. I felt it all. What was once one of my biggest sources of annoyance in the past turned into my absolute enjoyment as I allowed the link between my people to strengthen and grow. I cradled Mira in my arms as I stared out at the sea of people before me. My people. And the one person who stood before them all, my brother Abel. "Brother,"I reached out to him mentally, probing for that familiar channel that I've been desperately reaching out to for the past few days. It embraced me with open arms. "Axil,"came my brother's relieved response,"you took your dear goddam ti
Silence.The unnerving feeling of standing in a clearing surrounded by towering trees, where not a whisper of the wind nor the rustle of trees could be heard.Deadly silence.All alone.Say something!
