ELEVEN: STUPID SPORTSWEAR

It was the Saturday of my first week here, I remembered what the dragons announced on one of the assembly days, sports will be held on Saturday.I had come to observe that the dragons were the highest ranking creatures, people naturally respected them, some say they are one of the oldest creatures and naturally created while the rest were born from magic or a curse.I watched as Phoebe dolled herself up once again, a habit I had gotten used to, she would spend hours in the bathroom, scrub,shave and apply a whole load of make up.Daphne was already dressed for sports, her navy blue shorts hugged her hips revealing her thick thighs but her shirt was baggy, falling over the shorts , letting it peak out.“We're so going to be late” Daphne groaned and I pulled out my sportswear. I had just gotten out of the shower and still had my towel wrapped around me and my hair yet to dry.I held up the grey shirt in front of me. I grabbed a sports bra and pulled the shirt on, but it hooked on my neck

TWELVE: A LOUD SPLASH!

Ember blows her whistle after giving instruction and we begin the exercises. I groaned as I stretched to the other side and Cillian gives me a cheeky smile. I turn to the other side turning away from him and notice Raphael staring at me.I give him a confused look but he doesn't bother to break eye contact, his partner waves at me blowing a kiss. Jenna.Ember blows her whistle and taps Lucian on the back, he groaned and begrudgingly began to demonstrate the next routine.This goes on for a while and I pause to catch my breath, the monsters don't feel as tired as I do. I force myself to continue not wanting to raise suspicion. Suddenly I feel arms wrapped around my waist and I tense and squeal, turning to find Cillian behind me, I barely maintain eye contact with the handsome vampire before looking away.Ember and Lucian are demonstrating the next exercise, Ember grabs his waist and pulls backwards as hard as she can while Lucian pulls forward rather lazily.I turn to look at Cillian

THIRTEEN: CILLIAN'S

I held back my tears as my freezing form made it to my bed. I began drying myself with a towel and pulled out something more cozy to wear. I spread the skimpy clothes on one side to dry and pull up my joggers and a hoodie. The skies outside looked dark, filled with like it was going to rain, the clouds reminded me of Rapheal stupid eyes. As his face entered my mind, I felt an odd emotion—hate. I hated him.He did not seem to care about my existence before but now what he did seemed more like bullying.I didn't know how breakfast on Saturdays worked but I assume it was the same. I made my way out of the room and this time the hall was flooded with people who gave me a look, great I was getting known.I pulled the hood over my head and evaded people as I tried to make it downstairs. I'm barely down the first two steps when someone grabs me and I turn.Daphne looks at me worried but Phoebe isn't with her. “I'm sorry about what happened, that guy is a jerk” she said, seeming annoyed and

FOURTEEN: HISTORY LESSON

I followed Daphne out of the dining room and she sighed.“You have some dangerous guys on your tail” she stated as we walked.“What do you mean?” I was confused.“Cillian, he's royalty among vampires, a pureblood at that” she explained but I still stare confused.“He's strong and deadly, students have gone missing because of him” she narrated and I swallowed.“Raphael?” I asked and she paused.“So you do know him” she stated more than asked.“We're not friends, he sits behind me in class” I admit.“He's one creature we don't fully understand afterall, he's the only one of his kind” she replied.“He's different” I stated and she nodded.“I want to show you something” she said walking towards a side of the school I had never been to before. It's an entirely different building, situated at a hidden place. We walk to a large door and there's a guard standing in front, he has a pale complexion and there's a stoic look on his face. “Students aren't allowed here” he states, glaring down a

FIFTEEN: FEAR

“There were two of them, I swear,” a familiar voice said.Daphne and I are currently crushed together into what seems like a secret room. She holds her hands against her lips and I nod keeping quiet. “Two students over powered you, a guard wolf?” a lady's voice scoffed.“One sang” the guard spoke and the clicking of her heels stopped.“A siren, not many are enrolled here” the woman replied. “And the other?” “I couldn't tell, but I couldn't sense any hostility from her only fear, she almost smelled human” the guard relayed.“Very interesting, trespassers at this hour, ohh the headmistress would love this” the voice chuckled.Daphne grabbed my hand and pulled me further into the room.“I could die for this” she murmured to me and we came in front of a high wall.I watched as she knocked it twice and it opened like a closet. My eyes widened and I felt my heart stop for a moment.There were portraits in black and white of different young children, majority with smiles on their faces. T

SIXTEEN: CELESTE

“Run!!” “Protect the young ones!” “Please!” “Where is the alpha!” “Shut up” For some reason it was hard to breath, everywhere felt hot. I forced my eyes open and the sound of ringing bells immediately hit my ears. Below me was a rough sandy ground.I dug my nails into the soil and forced myself to sit up. It was night time, I stared at the scene before me. There was fire everywhere, it surrounded the entire place, some of the houses were on fire as well as the trees. I heard a distant howling sound and for some reason tears started to drop down from my eyes.I looked down at my skin covered in soot and dirt, I was wearing a peach dress and it was partly torn. I coughed hard as the smoke was making it hard to breathe.Pulling myself up to my knees, my whole body ached. Suddenly a large beast jumped and cut through a young woman's throat, tearing the flesh and spilling blood.I knelt there dumb struck, my eyes twitching in fear as I watched the woman's lifeless body, I suddenly p

SEVENTEEN: COLD SHOULDER

I made it to class and I’m late for the first time. Taking in a deep breath I push the door open and enter the class.“And that’s the reason why….” Mr Alistair stops as he notices my presence, he gives me a once over and returns to face the class. For some reason I felt hurt, there’s no usual longing in his eyes and he looked barely bothered.I kept my head low and began to walk to my seat, apparently Raphael had chosen the seat behind me as his new seat. His eyes met mine and I immediately looked away, I was scared of all of them. Just as I am about to sit down…“Miss Martins, you are late,” Mr Alistair commented.I looked up to meet his amber eyes that stared at me with an unbothered look. I swallowed the lump in my throat, was it because of our last interaction, the way I reacted and acted?“I am sorry sir, I overslept and…”“I do not wish to hear your excuses, it mustn’t repeat itself” He said to me and I simply nodded.I finally sit in my chair and breathe out.“And so the hold h

EIGHTEEN: DETENTION

I knew it, it was everything I expected and worse.I’d literally be anywhere else.It was loud and utterly disturbing.I heard a couple of laughs and then different forms of noises. I looked around to find an unbothered teacher picking a booger from his nose. I couldn't help but notice the stares that followed me. I walked towards an empty seat and then sat down.“Hey that seat is taken, find somewhere else” A voice said from behind me and I turned around to find a girl, giving me the stink eye. And her said eyes had slits in them. I would have argued but I didn’t like the look in her eye.“Hey Avery!” I heard someone shout my name and looked to find Jenna flashing me a sly smile“Jenna” I acknowledged and walked towards her, she pulled out a red lollipop from her lips and nodded towards the empty seat beside her.I sighed and sat down on the seat, immediately Jenna pulled her chair towards me, making a loud squeaking sound that made the unbothered teacher look up at her.“What has th

NINETEEN: SOLITARY

Lucian sat at the front seat and dropped his back on the desk, not even bothering to greet anyone. Didn't he have friends or his friends weren’t the type to be in detention.I hear footsteps coming from the back and Marie passes me and heads towards the front seat, particularly towards Lucian.She stops in front of him and plops down on his desk, pushing his bag aside, her uniform had ridden up and her fair thighs were showing.I couldn’t really make out what she was saying but he was responding and there seemed to be a whole conversation.She eventually nodded and left, walking back to her seat but she wasn’t smiling.The rest of the detention went on quite boringly and the teacher never came back, making me wonder who’s homeroom teacher was.I packed my things and my book of doodles which was all I was doing for the past three hours into my bag. Immediately after the time elapsed, Lucian walked out of the class and people began to leave one by one.I walked out of the class and some

TWENTY: DAPHNE

“Avery, you’re safe okay” she assured, “Here” She handed me her gold key.“You can hold onto it, until we return safely," she said and I nodded and without thinking, I took a deep breath and jumped inside. Not long after Ember jumped inside too, closing the door and we were met with total darkness.“Hold on” I heard Ember moving but couldn’t see her, suddenly the place was illuminated as fire spewed from her mouth until a torch lit where we were.The place looked like some medieval dungeon.We walked down and saw different metal doors where we couldn’t even see who was inside.Ember touched each door closing her eyes and stopped at one.She opened her eyes and turned to me, “She’s here”I made my way to the door where Ember was and slotted in her golden key and sure enough the key opened the door.Ember held the torch at the door and I entered, I found a figure crouched down on the dirty ground and noticing the lights and footsteps, she looked up.A frown marred my face as I took in t
