Tala HillI screamed at the top of my lungs. I subconsciously hit him in his shoulder with my free hand. My stomach almost flipped because of what Shaun did. I haven't done such things, jumping from one building to another while he was lifting me without stopping until reaching the high rise building where we are standing now. I even managed to get into a car with no brakes and spin around in the air when he dropped me. Before long I was taking deep breaths just to get my heart beating back to normal.My suspicion that he is not human only increased after seeing and experiencing what he did. Because no normal person would do what he had done. I was catching my breath while thinking about what happened in the hospital. Maybe Shaun did the same thing to get to the roof deck of the hospital without me realizing it. My curiosity to know what kind of creature he was became more intense.“Did you enjoy our little ride?” I snapped back to reality after hearing his voice again. His questions

Tala HillMy stomach almost flipped because of Shaun's sudden running. If this was really running. We passed by with a bunch of people like a hurricane. He even beat the one riding in a high-speed car because of how fast he was running. It was only right that he ran so fast because of the type of creature that was following us. A vampire, of all things.When I saw the vampire earlier, I felt extremely scared. My whole body was stiff and I couldn’t even move. It was the first time I faced a vampire again after the incident that happened ten years ago. Seeing the vampire once again brought back memories that I couldn’t forget no matter how hard I tried. And it only left me cold with fear.I looked up at the man I had been with for a while. I saw blood on Shaun's temple. I did not know what happened because I was blacked out momentarily. It must have been because he was protecting me. I feel guilty. But I remembered every word he said to me. How he would protect me, that he wouldn’t let

Tala HillMy gaze was outside the window of a cheap motel room Ridge had rented for us to cure Shaun's wounds. After the incident, we immediately rushed him to the room. We could not take him to the hospital because Chester was certain that they would be asked certain questions. Unlike in a low-class motel like this where people do not care about someone's business. .Shaun was still resting in the room. Ridge went out again while Chester was in front of his laptop, and Tyron probably tailed Mayari. I leaned on the window. I just can't help thinking that two days ago, we were still inside the safe confines of the academy, and now we are inside of a cheap motel with a group of werewolves that I didn't even know. Yes, werewolves. If I hadn't witnessed Shaun's transformation myself, I might not have believed it. As far as I know, a hundred years ago during the war between vampires and werewolves, all of them disappeared. When I asked the three men for an explanation, they said they shoul

Tala HillIt’s been a week since we returned to the academy. Everything was almost back to normal. Almost. Maya was talking to me again but there was coldness in the way she was treating me. This is especially evident when I refuse whenever she forces me to tell her the events of our father’s death. Maya also couldn’t understand my desire to protect her from that nightmare. I get it. She’s mad at me for lying to her.The only good thing that happened was the change of the arrival date of the Headmistress. She was supposed to come back two days ago but according to the director, the Headmistress had a sudden appointment. I did not ask when she would be back. I was just thankful that somehow our supposed encounter was postponed because my excuse about us being gone for more than a days will definitely not work with the Headmistress. To this day, I still cannot think of a way to explain our disappearance without telling the truth.I just sighed and looked at the dark night sky from the w

Tala HillI slowly opened my eyes. I could not see where I was. There was just a faint light in the room I was in. I was still groggy as if something hit my head hard. When I finally opened my eyes, I got up quickly because of what I saw. I was inside of some kind of a barrier. Even though I was not an expert when it comes to magic, I knew instantly that it was made of powerful magic. I scanned the room. I still feel groggy. I remembered what happened and how I got here. But only one thing clearly entered my mind. Mayari was gone. I held my head, I’m having a headache. My sister was taken and I did not even do anything to stop him. I closed my eyes again and did everything to try to contact Mayari through telepathy. But no matter how much I racked my brain, I still could not communicate with Mayari. I also wonder why she doesn’t try to talk to me either. I could only think of one possible reason. She was also probably unconscious.“I can’t do this, Maya. Please come back,” I pleaded.
