I screamed as loud as my lungs could carry, hoping that someone might hear me as the wolf outside was trying to grab me from the crevices of the cubicle door. The door, which was the only thing separating me from the wolf, looked like it was about to give in at any moment.
One of its claws managed to get a hold of one of my shoes that I had to kick off, or I might lose my entire leg. As I did, its claws left a nasty gash on my leg, making me cry out in pain.
Why is this happening to me?
“Help!” I continued to yell again because it felt like it was the only thing that I could do at the moment. But it didn’t matter how much I screamed and plea for help because no one answered.
I was all on my own at this point.
I was fascinated by the skin on my leg. Yesterday, I could still recall an ugly gash that I got from the raging wolf girl. But now that I removed the bandage as I was hoping to change it, there was nothing there. Even the bruises on my back from the previous attack were also gone, as if they were never there.I guess that the witch doctor from yesterday was simply being humble when he was talking about his magic. Not only did he heal my injuries from yesterday, but he healed the bruise from my past attack. And not only that, but I was feeling better than I did the day before. I feel healthy and strong.And because of that, I don’t even know what to do for the day. My parents had already called the school before they left and told them that I would take at least three days off before I could walk properly. And with the help of Tyrelle’s influence, th
It was weird. It was the first time that Al actually listened to me that I could not take my mind off of it. I continued to walk around with my mind still in a blur.What was wrong with him, and why did he disappear like that? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love the idea that I am alone once more. I just don’t like the heavy feeling that I am carrying right now.I continued to walk through the street malls, passing stores after stores, completely forgetting why I was here in the first place.Come to think of it? Why was I here again?Oh, yeah. The book! I forgot that I needed to search for it. But before that, I rather have a meal first.But since I was saving my money, I decided to go and eat at
Morning came by, and Trei just texted me that he was going to pick me up for school after I told him that my injuries had fully recovered. I could not entirely show my parents that I was fully healed, so I decided just to bandage my legs up and assure them that they no longer hurt. Thankfully they agreed but under the strict condition that I would skip gym.Since Tyrelle was the unfortunate guy that picked me up for school, my parents tasked him to look out for me, which he gracefully agreed to. As soon as Tyrelle and I were in his car, he sighed. And it was a sigh that held a lot of weight into it.“Gee, if you think that I am that much of a burden, I just want to remind you that the bandages are fake,” I told him out of defense.“Huh?” Tyrelle pulled his head away from the steering wheel so
“That hybrid. Who does he think he is telling me to protect Gabriella? Of course, I'll protect her. He didn’t need to tell ME that.” Tyrelle muttered under his breath while we walked side-by-side to head for the school gate. Just before the bell for lunch rang, I ordered food online to be delivered at the gate. With Tyrelle’s current mood, I was already half afraid of him because there was no telling what he would do. Tyrelle is rarely this pissed off unless it involves Aelfric. I guess all I have to do now is nod and agree to him, even though I wasn’t entirely sure why he was so angry with the hybrid. I let out a yelp of surprise when my phone began to ring. It was a message from the delivery man that our food ha
I could feel someone jabbing my side, but my body was too tense and stiff. I feel so drained and dead, like I have run a marathon even though I hadn’t. I could not understand why I was so tired when all I did after lunch was eat with Tyrelle. “Gabriella.” I could hear Tyrelle calling for me as he tried to shake me awake. Because of his continuous pestering, my body slowly started to awaken. I began to feel the stiffness of my neck from the position that I was in. Wait. Position? Where am I exactly? In my haste to find out where I was, I abruptly lifted my head while lights danced in front of my eyes. I started to blink rapidly
Despite the long day ahead of me, I found it hard to sleep. I mean, who would have especially when someone told you that you’re a witch. And I was pretty sure that I didn’t mishear them because they repeatedly declared that I’m a witch. If Tyrelle didn’t have the initiative to pull me back, I feel like I would have stood there frozen. “Meow.” Come to think of it; I brought the cat home with me without even thinking it through. My mom and dad weren’t aware of the cat either since they were busy in the hospital that they had to work overtime. The little black cat hopped on my pillow as if it sensed that I was troubled.
The next day, Tyrelle and I headed to school early in the morning to come and see Doctor Kusher. It was me who requested this despite Ael’s warning to no longer converse with the witch doctor. There was just something in Al’s words that made me think that there was more to this witch stuff that he didn’t want me to find out. It was an impulse decision on my part to keep my mind off of worrying about my parents as they haven’t returned since yesterday. They also haven’t responded to my calls or messages. “Miss Gabriella, I am happy to see that you returned.” Despite doctor Kusher’s words, the look in his eyes contradicted them. It seemed that he was focused more on something other than our
My Killer Smile.As it turns out, it was a magical phenomenon. According to the doctor, because of the vast amount of magic that my bloodline has, my magic took it upon itself to make a defense mechanism to keep me safe. He told me that it was a common occurrence to people of my Opera’s bloodline because witches with high raw magic are hunted down during the old times. My killer smile was only my protection to keep me safe from danger. And according to him, the only way for me to remove my killer smile is for me to learn magic so it would deem me powerful enough that I would no longer need it. I managed to contact Tyrelle during lunch, and I told him everything that happened during his
