Braze's POV" Stop. Please stop. Please don't shout,I am not here to hurt you. I need help. "I was trying to tell her through my gruff voice but my words drowned when I accidentally pressed the hot water button in the shower. It didn't feel much when it fell on my back but the moment it touched her fair, naked skin, I could see scalding , instantly. Nobody could blame her when she went out yelling again, and screaming as I fought hard to stop the water that had caused all the mayhem. Within the next few seconds the guards were at the door, ringing her bell. She grabbed her bathrobe and ran towards the door knob. I don't know if it was the urgency of the situation or my new found abnormality, but I literally flew past her and held the doorknob before she could unlock the latch. " I am not here to hurt you. "This time I articulated perfectly. I fell on her feet but she jumped back, possibly thinking I was a perverted being. I should have been faster than my body and told her mor
***At Chemora-Present Day***" You say you could detect some of them? Is that correct? "Kilian asked , his purple eyes sparking with excitement. He was floating in a pitch black, backdrop but there was a cable tied firmly at his waist. Apparently, it was there to hold him back. It was there so he would not float away. He was talking with a voice. The voice came to him very feeble and he could not see the face of the speaker. " Not some, only one. I could detect some energy blasts. Very soft and momentary. I think his powers are just awakening. It's at the earliest stage. The energy blasts are involuntary and the frequency is also unpredictable. We haven't been able to locate him yet but we are all working at that. I am hoping , we will be able to send you a positive report soon. "The voice concluded. " You say it's a he, not a she. Are you certain? "Kilian's voice sounded a little disappointed. " Very certain Lord Kilian. I would not report a mistake. "Kilian nodded. " You ca
Mira's POV" What's with these hot boys Mira. I thought you were like me. But you seem to be like so 'happening'. "Stella's nose zoomed in, in front of my eyes. I was lying on the grass, at the campus. The lawn was at the back, so I was just trying to get some fresh air, privately. The day was lost, trying to explain the incident at the police station. Our principal, Braze's mom, got involved and things took a little time to settle down. I, got dragged in the spotlight, along with him, for no reason.I was trying to peacefully watch the white butterfly hover all around me. These things never seemed odd, like the thunder whenever I was sad or the butterfly, whenever I was anxious. It was what I was used to, ever since I was a baby. What I wasn't used to, was Stella. She shoved me so hard that my poor butterfly flew away. " Come on. Tell me Mira. What's your secret. "" Leave that girl alone."I pulled my head up to look at who was speaking. It was my roommate. She was towering ov
Mira's POVDid I still have feelings for Braze? Hell no! Not after what he did to me. I was not that pitiful. Why then, was my heart beating abnormally? Every time I closed my eyes , I could see Betty, on Braze's lap. I was definitely going crazy. " Shit! It's thundering again. I hate thunder! "Razzak was busy closing all the windows, one by one. She then came inside my blanket and cuddled up. " I am sorry. Please bear with me. Ouch! "She yelled as another round of thunder claps rumbled. "Doesn't it bother you? "She looked more distressed at my nonchalance. " Have you ever been in love? "I don't know why I asked her that. "Me? No! Never! Why? Did anyone break your heart? You look broken. Was it one of those boys? "She suddenly sat up, forgetting her fear. "Are they still after you? Bothering you? Tell me girl. "Her shadow elongated in the background as she stood up with the blanket still over her shoulder. Ping! Ping! Just then my notification tone went off. I turned
Mira's POVI had no idea at this point if I was sleep walking or awake? I knew I was outside the gates of the students' residence, but I had no idea where I was headed. My eyes were glued on that fluttering light, my guardian my little butterfly. My legs kept crossing one milestone after another. I had no idea about my speed or direction. It was like I was in a hypnotic trance. I had no idea, I was standing on top of a hillock, overlooking the entire town. It was at this moment that my senses came around. Panic flooded in like ants around a honey drop. It was overflowing and getting out of hand. " Wh... Where am I? Why am I here? "I began questioning the chilli air. I pulled my phone out to dial Razzak's number but my phone was switched off. As soon as I pressed that button to switch it on, the wind snatched the phone out of my hand. Or was it the shadow? Was it even possible. It was at the edge of the hillock and I jumped to catch it, but fell. I caught hold of the phone but ha
Braze's POVWhat I thought would be the answer to all my problems, was just another piece of that big puzzle that I was still trying to figure out in my head. The session or discussion, whatever I had at the vet's office was no help. " I believe you are a student.Come here and help me with this," Priscilla, the vet, called me with her hand as she attentively poured over the microscope, monitoring the behavior of my blood cells. . We spent the entire night talking. I tried to convey my issues as realistically as I could. "Umm,Braze,let me be honest with you,I have no idea what's happening to you." Her answer was to the point and honest. My mind was a mess. A hot mess. Every night my body would start releasing enormous heat and the amount was increasing everyday. From the blood samples that the vet collected, nothing could be confirmed , not even my quadrouped movements. The only thing the vet could confirm was that there was molecular morphing at microscopic level whenever the b
It was almost sunset. Robert was sitting at an abandoned, deserted car shed. He had walked as far as he could and his legs had led him straight to where he was sitting. This place was outside the main city where the Watchers Headquarters, Raven Towers was located. It looked like an average corporate office from inside out but only people who knew about its Depths, knew about its true purpose. The place where Robert was sitting at the moment, was nothing like that. Parts of the rusty shade were falling off and parts crumbled under Robert's feet as he walked in. " A glass of water please, " he asked as if there was someone waiting to take his order. " Something happened at work, is that right? "A figure appeared out of nowhere and asked as he poured that glass of water for his brother. One would think Robert was standing in front of a mirror. They looked exactly the same. The same height, face, age, hair and everything else. They were practically twins but were born one year ap
Mira's POV" Are you sure we are dressed right? "I looked at myself in the mirror and at Razzak beside me. We had harem pants on with crop tops and oxidised jewelleries, with a cap and mask on. We looked like hippies. " Absolutely. Let's go. "She adjusted the dark eyeliner she had applied on me. This was nothing like how I dressed but I did think it was cool. The street party was just a couple of blocks away from the school. We decided to walk there because why should we waste money hiring a cab. The music was so loud, it could be heard several miles away. The bass made the road thump and we couldn't wait to see what else was happening there. I had too much on my mind. Let me give you a quick recap of that morning. When my phone rang, I was sure it was Xen who had called back. I didn't want to but I answered. " Hello! I am so sorry. It was an unintentional missed call. "" Unintentional missed call? Why, I didn't get any! "The voice on the other side was that of Braze's. I
