Maya “What are you doing, Maya?! Are you trying to get yourself in trouble again?” Julian yelled, at me. In my hands, was a telescope I stole from one of the guard’s quarters. I was going to use it to plan my escape plan outside once more. “Nobody has to find out,” I grumbled. There was an average height guard right at a high building just beside the entrance. It seemed like Senora made the security tighter. “You’re crazy!” I smirked at Julian’s words, straightening my white shirt and carrying on with my mission. “I’m not, I just don’t want to lead a boring life,” I snorted. All of a sudden, my vampire hearing heard clicks. I directed my eyes to the outside guard, only to see him raising his gun towards the window. “Juliannn!!!” I yelled, using my speed to take him down instantly. Shots tethered in that instant, making my eyes bolt in shock at why the security guard just shot at us. “W-What’s h-happening?” His words were shaky. “I have no idea. Whatever it is, we need to hid

MayaNervously, my hands rode up to my neck beholding my pendant. To think I’ve survived by injecting myself with blood from our infirmary, and… this was how it was all going to end.They were going to find out my secret, sooner or later.“No one moves till the entire tape is watched!”At Senora Savannah’s words, I swallowed with my heart pacing. I could hear her smooth steps as she scanned through every child in the orphanage. Tension was prevalent in the air.“Begin!!” she told the CCTV expert who sat and began.My eyes searched, almost in tears that I was going to be discovered sooner or later. The one thing I didn’t want to do was drag Julian with me. It wasn’t his fault. It wasn’t dammit…“Maya, Maya,” The whispers were so faint, yet, thanks to my vampire hearing, I contained it.“I’m sorry…” I trailed, not knowing what to say to Julian.“It’s Trixie.”My eyes widened immediately. “Huh? What do you want?”She hadn’t spoken to me in ages. The rumored witch, who blended with us as

MayaRunning.I’ve always had that habit. It seemed I always got away, whenever the situation called for it. And this is what I had told everyone around me.Trixie parted with me, like I asked earlier. The road back to the cemetery was something I was familiar with. Yet… that wasn’t my destination.“I shouldn’t be out here, wandering…” I trailed, knowing the last time I was alone, some wolves chased me.“Maya!!!”I looked towards where the voice came from only to see Trixie, chanting some words which sounded like spells. I gasped at the sight of a gigantic creature, which skin was in black entirety and a body which was rough as a stone.“What the hell is that?!” My chest paced, knowing it had been coming to attack me.“Spirit moles!” she exclaimed, swaying her hands at it, while it shrieked in agony. It turned into ashes slowly, before evaporating into the thin air.“You saved me, why? Where you following me?”“We have to flee now, Maya! Common!” she said, running while I followed ins

Maya “Let’s go!” Rufus suddenly dragged my hands, pulling me out of Lannister’s sight. Before I knew it, we were outside the Fronters. Somehow, we landed back inside the throne room. “What was that for?” My eyes were horrid at him and the insane abilities he just revealed. Telekinesis. “Lannister is dangerous, you do not want to be around him.” He smoothly said. I drew nearer, folding my arms the minute he let them go. “Question is, are you? Can I trust you?” At my words, he flinched his eyes while his hands trembled. Staring back at me, his Adam’s apple bulged. “I just revealed my power that no one is aware of, hurts me that this is what you have to say.” His tone was laced with disappointment. “I’m sorry, okay?” If he was indeed real, I wanted him to know I truly am. And then it came, an alluring scent which knocked me out of my senses. A symbolic aura full of darkness I seemed to prefer, an energy… quiet yet, loud. I could sense the familiar feeling of my supposed fated,

MayaI stared at Trixie who had a different look than earlier.She was clothed in a rich yellow fabric, entirely different from how she appeared in the wood when we journeyed here. Guess I was the only one that remained the same. I mean, I wasn’t even progressing.That day in the tub, got me nowhere… I couldn’t summon the entity that saved me from drowning.“I heard you teamed up with the evil Queen,”“Oh please, she’s not as bad as you all paint her to be,” Trixie scoffed. My hands tightened around my dark jacket, which I wore to feel protected.“She’s a witch!” My eyes widened. “So dangerous… You should stay away from her, if you can,”“But I am too.” Trixie suddenly said. “And she gives me hope, she makes me want to believe that my people are alive, Maya.”“Y-Your people?” I chuckled a bit. “Even my parents and everyone related to me were taken by the flood. What gives you the notion that they’re alive?”“The calamity might not have reached them all.” Her words were resolute and fi
