I could hear voices but the words were not clear. By the different tones that I am hearing, I know that it does not belong to only one person. I tried to open my eyes but ended up being blinded by the sunlight streaming through the window. I moved my right arm trying to shield my eyes from the sun’s glare, but the sudden movement made my whole body scream in pain, making my whole body freeze as my arm fell to my side.
The room became quiet and I heard curtains being pulled and then I felt the comfort that its shade brought. I tried to open my eyes again to see who closed the curtains. But even with the shade, I didn’t realize how opening my eyes was such a struggle.
I tried to open my eyes again and I had to blink several times because I couldn’t believe my eyes. There stood at the foot of my bed, three hands
I was just in the bathroom for a few minutes when I heard loud shouts and glasses breaking. When I went out I was surprised to see Athena holding Nori, who by the way was enjoying every bit of it, even with a broken glass pointed at his throat. It surprises me how she got the strength to do all that after all the wounds that her body took. I could’ve healed her if only Levi was here. Nori offered but I don’t want anyone’s wolf touching her. I’m sorry Athena, you could have healed already but I just can’t bear anyone else touching you, especially one of my friends. “She’s feisty,” Nori said with a big smile on his face as he looked at her. “I like her,” he added. “You like her?” Leon asked in disbelief. “Have you already forgotten that just a few minutes ago, sh
I opened my eyes and found myself in an expensive room and found my manager talking to a doctor. After seeing me awake, my manager said goodbye to the doctor and walked toward me. “How are you feeling?” he asked me filled with concern. “Tired,” I admitted. “What happened?” I asked. “I shouldn’t have told you to stay late,” my manager said apologetically. “The shop was robbed and you were attacked by the robber.” I was speechless, I know that I am not that irresponsible to leave the door unlocked. I tried to remember exactly what had happened but everything was a blur. I looked at my hand and saw a cut but not too de
The doctors were surprised at how fast I have healed. I requested to be released from the hospital since I was not seeing any point in staying there. But my manager came and explained that the owner wants me to stay there until the week of rest is up. He said the owner wants to ensure that I get the needed rest and that I am eating right before getting back to work. The week seems to move so slowly but I did get some time to rest and even went to physical therapy to ensure that my body was working perfectly. Once I was given the “fit to work clearance” I was in a hurry to get back to my dorm. My manager wanted to pick me up but I was already out and had called a taxi. Once I was at the dorm, I started to clean up my small room. It’s been a while since I was home and my laundry piled up as well as the
We hit the road by the crack of dawn. I was seated at the back which I didn't mind. I looked out of the window as I watched how darkness fades as the sun rises. I placed my earbuds on and let the music swallow the silence that surrounded me. I didn’t know that I fell asleep until Lisa woke me up when we reached our destination. Lately, I find myself feeling sleepy most of the time. And I noticed that it started after I was hospitalized. It’s like all the energy I had was sucked out of my body. I got out of the car just in time to see Lisa’s aunt rushing to greet us. She had the same olive skin as Lisa’s, while gray hair was tied in a neat bun on her head. She was smiling brightly as she gave each one of us a hug. “You girls must be hungry,” her aunt Connie said. “Let’s get inside and
I stood there unable to move and in shock with what I just witnessed. I tried and tried to understand to find an answer to my question, ‘How can a human become a wolf?’ But ended up with more and more questions than answers. One of the wolves who were on my side nudged me, making me move. Is this wolf a human too? A question I wanted to ask out loud but couldn’t. The other wolf on my side lowered itself, it was like it was asking me to climb on its back. I looked in the wolf’s eyes, unable to move. That’s when I felt someone pull me and help me climb the back of the wolf. I looked up at the person who pulled me and found Katie. Katie smiles a lot but this time she isn’t. Her face wa
I thought that we were to stay in the living room but Katie said that we would wait for the others inside Drake’s office. I asked if I could stay in the living room but they did not allow me to. They said that Drake’s office, aside from his room, is the safest place in the mansion. While waiting for others, I avoided looking in Drake’s direction. I know where he was seated and I also know that the goddess earlier was seated beside him. He tried calling my name to get my attention but I pretended not to hear. I also pretended to have fallen asleep to avoid him trying to call for me once again. It took several minutes for other people to join us. When I opened my eyes I saw Leon and Lisa enter the room. Suddenly everything became so noisy as each one of them spoke all at the same time. All of them wanted to be heard but no one seemed to want to listen.&nb
I watched Athena as she left the room. “I like her,” Nikki said as she sat down beside me. “She is fit to be a Luna,” Nikki added. “Did you see how she threw Leon across the room with a slap?” Nori added excitedly. “And to think she did not even exert a lot of force.” “There is something mysterious about her,” Calvin said deep in thought. “I can’t see her past, present, and her future. It’s like she is a big black hole. And that power, that effortless power, makes me curious as to what else she can do.” Leon was leaning near the door deep in thought. “Something you
His sister? Did I just hear him right? The goddess who was always beside him touching him was his sister. I have never felt this relieved and embarrassed at the same time in my life. He was smiling when our eyes met. In embarrassment, my cheeks heated up and I turned to avoid his eyes. “Are you okay Athena?” he asked softly. I enjoy the way he calls my name. The way every syllable rolled off from his tongue and the way it sounded when it came from him. “Uhm, ye-yes,” I stuttered like an idiot talking to her first crush. Well yeah, I am that idiot and he was indeed my first crush. “So you want our doors opened?” He asked. “Uhm, ye-yes,” I replied. What the hell? Can’t I say anything more?
