The next phase of the competition had come and the students of the Moonlight school were bemused over Amaya's absence. Hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, yet, she was not found. Devastated, the school proprietor, Florida, and another panel of judges were seated at their tables and watched as the third phase of the competition was about to start."Amaya would have gone for this phase!" a student muttered beside Florida. Florida's memory of her missing daughter flashed back.The contestants from other schools had brought their participants, and they were ready to go for the third phase skills challenge.Suddenly, Amaya showed up on the school field…The school field was silent for some minutes as Amaya ran up to the school field full of energy. "Amaya!" Voices resounded her name in surprise. Florida stood up on her seat and looked at her daughter with wide eyes alongside the proprietor. As the realization sunk in, a wave of emotions swarmed the s

I cleared my throat and started talking about how the party went. I let them know I didn't have anything behind Cena's poisoned drink as he was a person who dared to me. My mother was accused of poisoning him according to the allegations raised by Aurora. Aurora was doing everything in her power to make sure my mum went to jail or left her position as the pack doctor, but the evidence was not strong enough to grant her wish.After the court meeting, the proprietor called me again behind closed doors and asked me intently if I knew something about Cena's poisoned drink. I wonder why he was so concerned about Cena."Amaya, don’t you think the proprietor is suspicious of his sudden love for Cena?" Jeremy asked me just as I stepped out of the courtyard.I rolled my eyes and reasoned with him. That was exactly what I was thinking. There must be something fishy brewing beneath that was hidden from us."I am thinking the same way, Jeremy. But what could th

I left my father's territory and started walking back to the school premises in tears. I seemed to be left alone in this world. My mum had been imprisoned just for my disobedience. She was striving hard to make sure I didn't reveal my hidden abilities, but I disobeyed her and caused her a lot of trouble.The journey back to school was a solitary one, with the cool air drying off my sobs. Each step felt like a painful reminder of the choices I had made, the consequences now haunted me. My mind is disorganized anytime I replay the events that led to this moment: the heated arguments between me and my mum, the unforgiving accusations, and the disastrous decision.Arriving at school, I hesitated at the entrance, contemplating whether I had the strength to face the challenges awaiting me. The next phase of our contest started today, and the realization struck hard being a reminder of my shattered world, and the expectation for my performance was like a hard bone in my neck.As I entered th

I walked up to the prison bricks. I saw my mum, her head bowed down. There were plates of food in front of her, but she seemed not to have any interest in those delicacies."Mum," I whispered, my voice catching in my throat as I stepped closer to the cold bars that separated us."Amaya!" she replied with a faint smile attempting to mask her pain. "It is bittersweet when you visit. How are you holding up, my love?"Tears welled in my eyes as I struggled to maintain composure. "I'm trying, Mum. But it is so hard seeing you like this. Jason has returned quietly and has promised to help you out of this place."Her eyes narrowed slightly, a shadow of concern flickering across her face. "Jason? You must be careful, Amaya. He doesn't have a pure intention, remember?"I took a deep breath, and anger surged within me. "I can't just sit back and do nothing, Mum. I believe he can help us."She reached through the cold bars, her hand tenderly meeting mi

The Third Person’s POVThe whole school was aware of the escape of Amaya and her mum, but they were still bothered about the guy who stood by Amaya during the prison break. No one knew that it was Jason. Cena was buried, and Dax was released from prison on the condition that he must trace Amaya and her mum. He agreed and joined Jeremy to look after them. Jeremy should have attacked Amaya's father's hideout, but he kept it a secret for reasons that were personal to him. Jeremy started tracking their movements alongside Dax, and other strong students of the school.They nestled in a cabin for days, struggling for survival in the woods. Jeremy and Florida were still not on good terms as she had insisted that nothing happened between him and Amaya. However, they hustled for food together and stood by each other in the woods. One evening, Amaya walked up to the mountains surrounding their cabin as she noticed fleet movements in the surroundings. She quickly returned t
