RAVEN'S POV
I was about to go to my dorm when I felt someone following me. I have been feeling them since I was just going to the library. That's why I disguised myself to avoid trouble temporarily but it looks like trouble is my twin. I immediately went to my dorm. I simply peeked out of the window. Many of them seem to make me fight. I removed my contact lens and my fake skin. I breathed a sigh of relief as I removed my disguise. I feel relieved to get rid of all the disguise I put on my body. I immediately opened my drawer and pulled out the secret compartment.
When I saw what was inside my blood suddenly came to life. It's been a long time since I have ever used it. Well, it's a dark red cloak that has a design of a black raven on the back of it. I quickly put it on and took my mask well it's a gold mask that has a touch of silver on the edge. I quickly pressed my orvix and thought of the thing I wanted to get and in a flash, the thing that I needed was already in my hands.
Reaper. I smiled. I quickly grabbed my reaper. Reaper is the name of my katana. I'm so excited to see blood. I quickly passed by a place where they would not notice me. I quickly stood behind them. Of course, they will not notice me. I am an expert in hiding my presence. I approached a man just near where I was hiding. I quickly approached him and went behind him and quickly twisted his head. When he fell, his colleagues quickly looked at me. They looked down on me and quickly transformed from being a person to werewolves. The others remained in their human form. They growled at me.
Dark werewolves...
What is my fault that dark werewolves are following me? As far as I know, I have only been here a few days and I have not fought other people than that arrogant Prince Ash.
The grass around me started to wither and turned into ashes as soon as I revealed my presence and took a step towards them. The other living creatures around here started to run away and hide. I saw the transformed werewolves retreat in fear. I smiled. They can feel my presence. Werewolves' senses are sharper than humans.
"It's too late to regret everything. Who are you? Why are you following that girl?" I asked
"Why do you even care? Who are you?" one of the werewolves in human form asked
They can't feel my presence because he's still in his human form but once he transformed into his werewolf form then he will feel the presence that I'm hiding.
"Well its also none of your business," I said
Of course, it is business because it's my own life we're talking about! Dufus.
"Huh?! You're too nosy! You're going to die now you bitch!"
He rushed at me but I quickly dodged and went behind him and twisted his neck. As much as possible I do not want to use my reaper. I will play with them first for a moment.
They give me death glares. As if they can kill me if they glared at me.
They always start but I always avoid them without difficulty. Tsk. Weaklings. It looks like I won't enjoy playing with them so I'd better finish this. I'm getting bored. They are no fun. They have no thrill playmates. I thought I could fight but I was wrong they're just low lifeless creatures. Insects and weaklings like them were not worth living.
I quickly grabbed my katana from its pouch behind me. They rushed at me at the same time but I quickly jumped to the back and cut them in two at once. They turned to ashes as soon as they fell.
I looked at another remnant who looked like his tail had split. He suddenly sat down because he saw what I did to his colleagues. He suddenly backed away while sitting.
I smiled because I could clearly see the fear in his eyes. That's how scared you are eh? My body feels joy and excitement every time I see fears in the faces of my prey before I totally end their useless lives. That only added to my desire to end their lives.
"Y-you! Y-you're a demon!" he said stuttering
I laughed because of what he had said. I am tired of such lines every time someone sees me when I put an end to someone else's life.
"I already know that," I said while smiling and quickly beheading him.
His blood even spilled on my body. I saw in my katana the fresh blood of those I had killed recently. I felt longing and desire to see more blood.
I wanted more blood... More... More... Blood... More blood...
I hurried to the road where the werewolves had run earlier. Eventually, I went in front of them. They stopped. Earlier while they were in human form they were so brave and now they are like puppies with a split tails.
Sorry but not sorry no one will make it out alive. The blood of their companions was not enough to make me happy. I'm not yet satisfied. I need more.
"You're not going anywhere," I said coldly
They quickly jumped towards me. But before they could finally get close, I cut them with my katana.
They all fell to the floor and returned to their human form and gradually turned to ashes. I hurried back to my dorm and made sure no one saw me. I quickly went to the bathroom and took a shower while my clothes were still on me. I saw on the floor the blood of those I killed tonight. I smiled. How I love seeing blood. I quickly finished my shower and took the towel and went out of the bathroom.
When I came out, I got dressed right away. I sat in front of the mirror on my desk and took the comb and then combed my hair. I stared at the mirror. I grabbed my face. This face. Having this face was a curse. It doesn't do anything good to me. I quickly removed my gaze from the mirror. I immediately lay down on my bed and covered my eyes with my arm.
I was about to fall asleep when my cellphone suddenly rang. Ugghh! What?! Why don't they let me go to sleep? Why they can't just leave me alone? I quickly picked up my cellphone and looked at it. Someone texted me but an unregistered number. But I know very well who it is. He is the only one who dares to do it.
'I enjoyed your little show awhile ago. You didn't even change a bit. You're still the same Queen Raven that I knew'
I put my cellphone on the table and went to sleep. Tsk. He has no intention of leaving me alone, doesn't he? Isn't it enough that he already followed me up here that he still needs to bother me at this time when I want to sleep?! F*ck him.
Do whatever you want it's your life anyway. Watch me as long as you want. And me? I'm already going to sleep.
"Don't go near me again. I don't want the idea of you being near to me again. You suck! You're filthy, despicable, and obnoxious. You're a monster. You don't deserve to live."
"Please don't leave me! You said you will never leave me! You promised that you will always be by my side! We're best friends. You're the only one I have so please don't leave me. I don't want to be alone again."
"I repeat I do not want to see you again. Do not come near me. I hate you. You are disgusting. I regretted all the days that I'm with you. And what did you say? We're best friends? Oh please spare me with that jokes of yours. It's just a show. You're just a way to kill time even from the start. I will never befriend you. You'll never be my best friend. I don't have one. Just accept it no one will ever like to be with you. No one loves you. No one will ever love you."
I suddenly opened my eyes. Just a bad nightmare. No, let me rephrase it is not just a nightmare it's one of my darkest past. I looked at the clock. It's only 3:00. I woke up early because of that nightmare. I will come later to 8:00. I tried to sleep again but I couldn't. I suddenly remembered what I had dreamed of just now.
--
I was walking around the park when I saw a boy sitting on a swing. I quickly approached him. You can do it Akisha Raven Scott. You'll just befriend him there's nothing to be scared of. Maybe he is not like the others. I have a strong feeling that he is different.
When I got close to him I stopped in front of him causing him to look up at me. I was amazed at what I saw. Wow! Red eyes! Red hair! So cool!
"Uhm... hello. Can we be friends?" I asked totally ashamed
"No," he answered directly to the point
He answered so quickly. He did not even hesitate.
"Please! Please! Let's be friends! Pretty please!" I pleaded to him teary-eyed.
"I don't want to. Just find other kids that can be your friend. Go away." he said in a monotone voice
He is so cold! Scary!
"I-if I just could then I shouldn't be here begging you to befriend me. It's just that they don't like me." I said and bit my lip and was on the verge of crying.
Don't! Don't cry in front of a stranger! I forced a smile and tried to make my voice energetic to mask the pain I'm feeling right now.
"Uhm... O-okay. I won't force you anymore. I'll go ahead first. G-goodbye" I said and ran away. Shocks! So embarrassing. I even stuttered in front of him.
I kept running until I saw a big tree not far from the park where I came from earlier. I sat there and hugged my knee.
I cried my heart out. Why they don't like me? Is something wrong with me? Am I ugly? Is it because I'm a freak? Am I really a monster? Why did I even think that it will be different this time? No one ever likes me and he won't be different from them. No one will love a monster like me.
I felt someone standing in front of me when I looked at Mr. Red. I don't know his name. He sat down to level with me. Then he wiped my tears.
"Don't cry. It doesn't suit you. You look ugly."
"Thank you."
After he wiped my tears he sat down next to me
"I'm Ash by the way."
I looked at him quickly as he said his name. I know my eyes are shining. "I'm Akisha. So are you willing to befriend me? You introduced yourself to me. So it means you are willing to befriend me?" I asked continuously while smiling. "Why do you want to befriend me? You don't even know me that much." "It's because I have no other friends." I know my tears are about to drip. "Fine! Fine! I'm willing to be your friend! Just- just please don't cry." My face that was almost on the verge of crying replaced by a smile "Hontoni?" "You speak Japanese?" "Hi! My mom was a half Japanese" "I see."
RAVEN'S POV WHEN we entered the room, whispers filled the room. Tsk. "Gold digger" "Ugly nerd" "What right does she have to stick to royalties? What if later on the royalties get infected with her ugliness?" "What a famewhore!" "She's not ashamed anymore. She has no right to make friends with the royalties! She's just an ugly nerd!" I just bowed. Not because I was hurt or whatever. This is just part of my acting. Maybe I was a great actress in my previous life. I'm naturally good at acting and faking my emotions ever since I was a child. "Shut up! You have no right to dictate who we should be friends with! The next time I hear someone say something bad to Raven we will be your opponents! Do we understand each other?!" Liana shouted furiously
AKISHA'S POV "But I thought you have weak senses so how do you know that we're here?" "Well, it's the truth. It's just that I saw you a while ago" Lies. Lies. Lies. "Is it true Chloe?" Liana said tearfully. I also noticed that her eyes were puffy. Emotions. That is what makes people weak. Emotions are something that I lost a long time ago. "I-I'm s-sorry liana! I'm so s-sorry!!" Chloe said while crying "I'm also sorry because I didn't think about how you were feeling. That's why I was approaching troy then because I was asking him to help me get closer to brent. I'm sorry if I became selfish and I didn't think about how you feel, that you are jealous." Liana said while crying as they both hugged while crying.
RAVEN'S POV BEFORE I left the library I used my power. Some have been following me ever since I went inside the library. They just didn't go inside the library, it looks like they are just waiting for me to get out before they attack me. I can use my power on them even when I am not looking at them. Unlike others who still have to look into their eyes to pass under the illusion without their opponents knowing. When I saw that they were already under the illusion I had made, I quickly hid. I created the illusion that they saw me walking towards my dorm when I felt a familiar aura that was also following me. It's better to be careful. This familiar aura is stronger than the tenebris. Who's that? Whoever the person who wants me dead looks seems like he has no intention of leaving me alone. Isn't he tired of sending his disciples but no one comes back to him? He did not run out
RAVEN'S POV "Isn't funny Raven you have the same name as the mysterious Queen Raven? Hahahaha" Troy said as he laugh while putting his arms on Chloe's shoulder. These two lovers are so inseparable to the extent that it hurts my eyes just by merely looking at them. They are even sweeter than sugar because of their sweetness. Tsk. Sometimes I avoid looking at both of them because I always wanted to puke whenever I saw them being so sweet. So there are still people who know me somehow in this world. Maybe they just merely ended up in the mortal world because of their missions or maybe they grew up in the mortal world like me. Yes. That's right. That woman said earlier was all true. I was called Queen Raven, Queen of the underworld. But there's more. My eyes were changing. I have 3 eyes. The one is my normal eyes which are pink and the other two are the ey
"Thank you for encouraging me. I appreciate it. Here" I said as I took something from my pocket and handed it to him. I saw his eyes widen at what I am offering him."Lollipop?" asked Brent"It may be childish but I like how it tastes"It brings sweet. Actually, I love sweets. My life is already full of bitterness and dullness at least in this way my life will have some little sweetness even for just a little bit of time. I put the lollipop in his hand then took another lollipop in my pocket then opened it and put it in my mouth."Thanks. You know I remembered something when you gave me a lollipop," he said while smiling when I look at the lollipop is already in his mouth. He was just looking at the sky while eating the lollipop."What?""Not what. It's who""Then who?"
RAVEN'S POV"BEATRICE Salcedo, the woman who urged Chloe to turn her back on her best friend. You were the reason why Chloe was separated from the royalties," I said, and I turned in her direction. She fell to the ground in extreme fear. Now, where is your courage, huh?"Y-you! You're a d-demon! A monster! The r-royalties need to know about this!" she shouted completely terrified."You know, for the person who dies, your
CHLOE'S POV When I came out of the dorm, I immediately saw Liana and the others. I awkwardly smiled at them when I saw that I was the only one they were waiting for. Liana nagged at me, "Hurry up, Chloe! You're so lazy to move, "
