51| Unlikely Comfort

~IVY~I never really thought I'd come to like Blackthorn Academy. The plan was to find the Ebon Testament, gain insight on why we were attacked and my parents killed, then know how to fight back the hunters.Sure I've heard talks of the Lyovles bloodline being cursed. But I've always treated it as what it was, a rumor.Except it's not a rumor, it's real. It's actually true. We are actually cursed. It was written plainly in the Ebon Testament.The Lyovles are not born. They awaken.Their blood binds and breaks.Their presence unravels balance.Through them, the old world ends.Only to be saved, when their life is gone.All beings gone, only to be saved when a single generation who bears the curse is wiped out.I never prepared for this outcome. I'm in a dilemma as to what to do with this information.Do I surrender myself to the hunters? Do I struggle to survive? Do I pretend I never read those sentences and put the entire paranormal world in danger? Do I leave the academy? Why do I

052| Principal's Suspicion

~IVY~The presence of the Ebon Testament is not a relief I thought it would be, it's like a burden. Everytime my eyes flicker to it, I'm reminded of my fate, of the injustice I'm to face. The unsaid death sentence hanging over me.Its presence in my bedroom makes the place feel depressing. I think I should return it. I don't want the book near me anymore.And to think just a few days ago I was desperate to get my hands on it, putting my life at risk countless times. I have gone great lengths for it, involving even Damon and Karl.Going to school today feels off, there's a nagging instinct that screams danger and from countless experiences, I know that my instinct is always right.I brace myself for what today might hold. I already have a curse that demands my life, how worse can today be? The bell doesn’t ring.That’s the first sign something is wrong.Instead of the sharp clang that usually sends everyone rushing down the halls like startled birds, there’s a long, low hum that vibr

053| Escape Attempt

~IVY~The Ebon Testament must be returned.That's all I can think of as I walk back to class. The principal is already suspicious of me. She doesn't have to talk much for me to detect the suspicion in her tone. She's sharp witted and highly perceptive, studying every expression and reaction of mine to see if I'll crack. A slip in your facade is all she needs to pass her judgement.How did they detect that the original Ebon Testament was gone so quickly? Did they notice the broken seal? I expected at least a week to go by before they noticed it was gone seeing the place is rarely visited, but luck has never really been on my side.I'm certain very soon they'll call for room searches, if not this night itself. I have to act fast, we need to return the book before midnight.The temporary lockdown has been lifted. Students are now in their several classes and the internet has been restored, they're no guards lingering about and there's freedom to walk around.As I open the door of the c

54| Confrontation and Torture

~IVY~ The silence hits first.Not the peaceful kind. Not the calm-before-bed kind.This silence feels enforced. It's eerie.Like the walls themselves have been warned not to make a sound.The principal’s office looks colder than usual, stripped of warmth it never really had. The lights are dim. It would've been better to use candlesticks than to use this type of low lighting. It makes the office look like a crime scene or a dungeon.Symbols carved into the stone walls glow faintly, pulsing in slow, steady rhythm.A heartbeat.Not mine.We've been caught, it was unexpected. Everything was going smoothly, too smoothly. I should've known something was wrong. The entire thing was a trap.A trap orchestrated by the principal herself no doubt.Karl stands on my left. Damon on my right. We don’t touch, but the space between us feels charged, tight with unsaid things. Karl’s jaw is clenched so hard I’m afraid his teeth might crack. Damon’s posture is loose, casual in that way people get when

55| Suspension

~IVY~It's been two days since Karl, Damon and I were caught sneaking out of the highly restricted room by the principal and her guards.It's been two days since we were taken to the infamous punishment chamber and tortured mentally. I've heard of people possessing powers capable of making one relive their worst memories, but that day was the first time I've ever experienced it.It was as though I was really present, watching my parents get killed right in front of me, and I, being chased by hunters. The heat, the sweat, the fear, I could feel them all. Even my nightmares never felt that real, and I've been having it for years.Those few minutes of reliving the worst day of my life was able to make my insomnia worse. I don't sleep. I want to sleep, but I can't. This is not my usual staying awake at midnight and sleeping for a few hours kind of insomnia.It's now severe. I can't sleep a wink. I don't know how I've survived these past few days, but I have. I'm going to school, smilin

56| The Hunter Threat

~IVY~I don’t know what wakes me first, the sound or the feeling.I've finally been able to get some sleep, but apparently the universe is saying I don't deserve it.It’s past midnight. The dorm is quiet in the way that makes every small noise feel louder than it should be. The kind of quiet that presses against your ears. I’m now lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, counting the tiny crack that runs from the light fixture to the corner. I stay like this for an hour now. Sleep is avoiding me like it knows better. I can't shut my eyes again.Very soon I'll be out of this academy for my suspension. I'm meant to leave immediately after the midterm testThough Karl has offered that I should follow him home, I don't think I can. It'll make the entire mate thing look even real. I haven't entirely decided if I should break our bond or let it be. Following him to his kingdom will make things more complicated than it should be.Besides, going with him will mean the hunters will be taggin

57| Roxie’s Warning

~IVY~The dorm smells like clean sheets and lies.I sit on my bed with my back against the headboard, knees pulled to my chest, staring at the window that was shattered just hours ago. It’s been fixed, academy magic works fast, but I can still see it. The way the glass burst inward. The way the night poured into my room like it had teeth.Just like I suspected the hunters are working directly under the order of a higher force. Someone they call ‘master’.Who is this master? Is his true intention to wipe out my bloodline to keep our world safe or is there more? I can't help but lean towards the latter. The intensity in which he's coming after me is highly suspicious.I keep rubbing my palms on my pajama pants. There’s no blood on them anymore, but my skin remembers.I killed someone.Not in a dream. Not in training. Not in some distant, heroic story people tell to feel brave. I killed a hunter in my dorm room because if I hadn’t, he would’ve killed me.I dumped the body in the forest.

58| Sneak Out

~IVY~I can't say that I'm surprised that my life is in danger. My life has always been in danger since the night my home was invaded. It's nothing new.However, what's new is Luciana, the name Veronica doesn't just stick, coming to warn me about an upcoming danger.What exactly does she know? How did she know my life is endangered? Why did she warn me to be careful? I thought she disliked me.Can a foe turn to an ally that quick? Can I trust her words?I didn't get the opportunity to specify what she means by, “You're in danger”. I couldn't ask her any other questions because we heard footsteps coming towards my room and she had to quickly leave.Today in school I didn't see her either. When I inquired about her whereabouts from her friends, I was told she was given a sick leave. Her parents had taken her home this morning and she left no note for me to explain what she means.This is rare. No students willingly leave school with the midterm test drawing near. Everyone is busy trying

59| Captured

~IVY~Pain comes first.Not sharp. Not clean. Just heavy. Like my head is filled with wet sand and someone keeps shaking it.I can't see my attackers. I can't see the hunters or the power blockers. I can only see a tied down Damon.Panic ensues inside me as Damon's body begins to go pale. No no no. He can't die. Nothing wrong can happen to him just because of me.He collapses, his face hitting the ground, his hands still tied.I try to move, to run to Damon. My body refuses.Common Ivy, you can do this. You have to overcome the power blockers' influence and break free, Damon needs you.I want to move my feet but it still stays planted on the floor. I'm like a statue, staying still. I have to override the influence of the power blockers, else I'll continue standing here, my powers subduing until it entirely diminishes.Where in the world did the hunters find power blockers? Those people are rare as a shooting star in the paranormal world. This again reminds me that the hunters mean b

60| Family Secrets

~IVY~The dungeon does not change, but somehow it feels smaller.The stone walls press closer, the air heavier, like the place itself is listening. I sit on the cold floor with my back against the wall, knees pulled to my chest. The chains are gone now, I'm supposed to feel better but I feel worse.I can't feel my powers. Everything within me is quiet, as though they've been deeply buried and never to be awakened.A torch burns across the chamber, throwing long shadows that stretch and twist like they’re alive. Somewhere water drips, slow and steady, each drop hitting my nerves like a tap on glass.Footsteps echo again.I don’t flinch this time.Lord Tracon steps into the light as if he owns it. Calm. Clean. Not a single wrinkle out of place. He looks more like someone walking into a meeting than someone visiting a dungeon.He stops a few steps away from me.“You look awake,” he says.“I never slept,” I reply.That’s not fully true. I passed out at some point and my head is aching bad
