Myra   This time, I didn’t dare transform. Whoever it was, didn’t sound friendly. I could sense Akira coming back to her normal self. She had become alert. ‘What happened to me?’ she asked in a panicked tone. I scoffed but did not answer her. Right now, that wasn’t my concern. Sun rays streamed in through broken windows and wherever they had found a crack. Creepers and roots had embraced the walls like one would wrap a scarf around their neck in winter. The place was creepy and gave off bad vibes.    “I didn’t believe it when I got the news about your ‘rebirth’. I had laughed for quite some time, but now I see that the news is true,” the masculine voice said playfully. Rebirth? What the hell?   “But it’s sad that you got to become a...dog this time,” he said contemptuously, spewing nonsense

Myra   “And done,” Vi said as soon as she finished putting the eyeliner. I opened my eyes and stared at the girl in the mirror. “Wow,” I breathed. My gaze flickered to Vi, staring at my reflection with approval, a proud glint in her eyes. I stood up, careful to not ruin the dress that somehow Vi had bought for me. When I had asked her, she had shrugged.    The wine red off-shoulder bodycon dress fit me perfectly. Even with a lack of curves, I had managed to pull it off. She had kept the makeup light, painting my lips with red lipstick and dabbing just a little highlighter. My hair was left open but styled in a tousle. I felt beautiful.    “Thanks,” I said. “You look bomb.” Vi winked. I blushed at the compliment. I chose to slip on flat pumps because I had never worn heels in my life, ne

Myra “So, how was the party?” Andrew asked us the next day. After everyone else had left for training. I steadily looked at the carpet rather than at him while Eric muttered a non-committal reply. “Did...something happen?” My head snapped up. His gaze was fixed on me. I gulped and shook my head despite wanting to tell him.  “Nothing,” Eric muttered once again. My eyes widened as my gaze flickered to him. He looked unhappy, which was obvious from his clenched jaw and scowl. Andrew nodded, not lingering on the matter.  “What did Celie have to say?” he said as he clasped his hands and rested them under his chin and rested his elbow on an open book on the desk that looked older than me. The huge mahogany desk was strewn with papers and books, which is a usual sight. His study had a more modern look than the library, but some ess

Myra I was shaking by the time I had finished telling Andrew those fragmented, but scary nonetheless nightmares. The ones that were not were a blur and I somehow knew they were not just some illegible images conjured up by my brain, but a part of the nightmare, like there were some old cherished memories. On those nights, my eyes opened more languidly and the only discomfort was the way my chest clenched painfully as it did when I missed my parents. I tried to calm down, tried to regulate my breath before looking at Andrew, who looked dazed. His mouth was slightly agape and his eyes...his eyes spoke volumes, but unfortunately, I couldn’t decipher anything from them. “Is...is something wrong?” I asked hesitantly, and that seemed to break his stupor. “Oh, no...not at all,” he replied

Myra Before I could even come to a decision, Damian had zoomed past me and had tackled Eric. The latter let out a thundering growl and did not back down. He snarled and kicked. The power tussle was equal and I could only howl, but both of them seemed to have forgotten my presence. Akira and I both were panicking, running from one corner to the other. My gaze honed on their pointy teeth, how it gleamed but yet there was no speck of blood which somehow calmed slightly. When nothing came out of running and I failed to draw their attention, I decided to transform back. The silence of the night was broken by harsh growls and snarls, loud thuds and punches. I frantically looked around for spare clothes and when I spotted one, I hurried to that place and changed back.    “Damian, stop,” I screamed because I knew otherwise, it would not be heard by either. But when his o
