031| Karl's Fear

~KARL~I'm used to Ivy ignoring me, but I never thought I'll eventually be the one avoiding her.For the past twenty-four hours I've been trying to prevent Ivy and I from speaking to each other, trying to spark up a conversation with people I don't even remember schooling here whenever she's near and squirming out of the conversation when she tries to join it.It's like a cat and mouse game, and I never thought I'd be the mouse, trying to escape Ivy's hold. She's surprisingly more determined to break our bond, giving me an evil grin whenever she figures out where I am.Doesn't she feel what I feel? Is being mates with me so bad that she's ready to call it off minutes after discovering our fate?I, hesitating to break off a bond is something I can't believe I'm doing. Rejecting Ivy should be easy for me, I was initially planning on doing the same. But currently, I've found myself stalling for more time. Time for her to change her mind, time to let her see that this might be a bad idea,

032| Hidden Protectors

~IVY~I've given up on Karl. I've given up on trying to break the bond.That's what I would've said if I'm a sore loser, which I'm definitely not.He has been evidently avoiding me since I demanded we break off the bond, which is actually more confusing. Isn't that also what he wanted?He even suggested doing the rejection himself to keep his ego. Why will he suddenly start backing out now?Trying to understand Karl does only one thing. It puts you in more confusion. It's like purposely entering into a spider web and getting tangled up.Even demanding answers to clear up the confusion doesn't help, it just adds to it.I drag my feet along the almost empty hallway. School has been dismissed for the day and Roxie is off to her after school club.I honestly don't understand why the school will approve a paper crane club. Like a club, just to teach how to make paper cranes.And the weirdest part? The high population. Almost the whole of second year is in the club. Knowing how prestigious

033| Close Call

~IVY~I've had a rough, eventful day. First it was Lyra coming to attack me and accuse of threatening Luciana, second is watching that same Lyra being beat up by the white haired twins, third is overhearing the hunters mentioning Damon's name.It's been a crazy day, and I'm currently doing something that'll make it crazier.I'm tailing the hunters.I did it on impulse. I couldn't just let them pass by after hearing them mention Damon's name.What do they know about Damon? Are they also looking for him too? Why do they keep mentioning Damon?I need these answers. Maybe they'll also lead me to their hideout within the school or to their boss, because according to their conversations, they're taking orders from a top official.I want to see who exactly wants me dead, and probably even figure out why.It's a reckless decision. I've been running from them my whole life, now I'm willingly following them, hiding behind trees and bushes. If I'm caught, there's no doubt they're willing to kil

034| Damon's Secret

~DAMON~My smile radiates the whole library, but does not reflect on my heart.It’s a reflex action, something I find myself doing often even though it's the last thing I want to do. Smiling, throwing jokes, these have been a coping mechanism that's etched within my soul, an addiction I can't free myself from because it never feels like an addiction.“Damon!” Elvis in third year slaps my back mindlessly, drawing me closer to him. “Our dear vampire prince, will you grace us with your presence for this night's party?”I shake my head, my lips tilting into a smile before I can stop myself. “Taking a break from alcohol at the moment,” I inform him. “Unless you want a half naked vampire taking all the girls away from you.”“You somehow get more charming when you're drunk while the rest of us end up puking out our gut.”“That's why I'm Damon,” I reply smugly.“Still need your charming presence regardless.” Before I can turn him down, he leaves, announcing to his group of friends that the V

035| Terrifying Revelation

~DAMON~They're actions guilt compels you to do, actions you'll ordinarily never consider.I remember when I stayed in Ivy's village, during the time Ivy and I were incredibly close. Our friends then teased me that we were in love with each other. With the mind of a child who had never felt love, who has always been taught that love was nothing but a fiction for fools to deceive one another. A dark haired man made me believe love was a lie. I transferred that ideology unto Ivy, rejecting her innocent love confession in front of our friends.I didn't want something fake and untrue between us, I wanted something real. So I turned her down, stomping on her flowers.It's not until I properly understood the true meaning of love from the Lyovles that I knew that my actions that day were bad and actually hurtful.Out of guilt, I woke up as early as possible, always bringing different types of flowers to Ivy's window. I wanted to compensate for my actions that day, but didn't know how to sho

036| Ivy's Confusion

~IVY~The class is way more rowdy today. People from different classes are here, while some of my mates are in other classes. We were meant to have morning training, but Sir Fizz is sick, his substitute is nowhere to be found. Other teachers are having an impromptu meeting with the principal where she no doubt tells them to watch out for the “threat.” She's telling them to watch out for me.Too bad for them though. I changed my last name and they're many Ivys in the school. They can't easily find me.I just have to be wary of the hunters and quickly find the Ebon Testament.The one person that's meant to help me find the Ebon Testament has been acting strange lately.He's barely attending classes, and when he does, he's distant. He just makes small talk with an obvious forced smile and leaves. At least he tries to make his smiles genuine before, but now, it's evidently fake.He hasn't even tried to spend time with me like he usually does, and when I try to talk to him, he shuts down

037| Unexpected Attack

~IVY~It's meant to be illegal for a sun to be this scorching when it arose barely two hours ago.It's morning and it feels like noon already. I blame Roxie for this, if only she had joined me to sign the petition against the academy management cutting down trees the climate change wouldn't have gotten this bad.Apart from the scorching sun, Sir Fizz is more active than a bee. He's doing too much for someone that was supposedly sick. We've been training non-stop, it's like he wants to make up for the last time he wasn't present which is ridiculous. The past is the past, he should let it go and stop making us run twelve laps and do twenty pushups without using powers. He's either training us to turn everyone into his mini soldiers, or he wants us to join the para-beings Olympics.Roxie collapses on the floor mid push up, not bothering to continue. “If Sir Fizz wants to subtly murder us with hard labor, it's working. I can't fill anything anymore, it's like my entire body has gone num

038| Conflicting Feelings

~IVY~“Ivy, are you sure you're fine?” Karl asks me for the umpteenth time within the last five minutes.Before I can reply, Damon beats me to it. “She has told you that she's fine countless times.”“You can't possibly believe her, she's obviously not fine.” Upon realizing who he's talking to, he narrows his eyes on Damon. “Besides I didn't ask you.Damon rolls eyes irritatedly. “I have eyes, I can clearly see that she's not fine. But that's what girls do. They say they're fine while in fact they're not fine. It's up to you to figure out what's wrong and fix it.”Karl huffs. “That's madness!”“You're clearly clueless.”“I'm not clueless, it just doesn't make sense. Why figure it out when they can clearly tell you what's wrong?”Damon sighs. “You keep proving me right. Completely clueless.”There's evidently a tension that only arises when both of them are a few feet away from each other, and I'm stuck in it.I try to stand from the makeshift seat they both forced me to seat on but the

039| The White Haired Truth

~IVY~You miss school for one day, just one day and you come back to find out that some third year students almost transported the entire academy to another realm by unleashing an unknown portal.And this is not the only thing that happened.Apparently, two teachers had a public confrontation. One slapped the other, and the other almost used the Infringement Spell on her.The infringement spell is a spell that is prohibited both in the academy and paranormal world due to it's brutality. Yet she was willing to use it on a fellow teacher, and now she's been sacked.Also, someone found a dead rat in his meal during lunch.All these happened while I decided to skip class just this once. Nothing this interesting happens when I'm in school.This is Karl and Damon's fault. If only they insisted I stay after the training, I would’ve witnessed all these dramas myself. Instead they encouraged me to go to my dorm.Damon even carried me to my room. I'll shift more of the blame to Damon.No need t

040| Mean Girls’ Downfall

~IVY~The courtyard looks harmless enough when I step into it. I like the open space, trimmed grass, and stone benches. This is the kind of place where people should be feeding birds or pretending to study.While everyone is either on their way home, in the student center or in the library. I decided to come here for fresh air before heading to the dorm.Roxie has gone off to return a book, promising to meet me at the dorms later. That leaves me alone, walking across the stone pathway with my backpack bouncing lightly against my side.Today has been… eventful. I was accused of getting pregnant and met with the white haired twins.The pregnancy rumor didn't even last twelve hours before another gossip took over. That's the way it is at Blackthorn Academy. I don't even bother trying to know what the other gossip was, because before morning I'm hundred percent positive another one will overshadow it.Meeting the white haired twins was refreshing and enlightening. At least I get to see th
