Nicole Jane’s POV“I still couldn’t believe of what happened. It seemed like some kind of kidnapping case,” Mikan said out of the blue.None of the three of us commented on what she said because we were all deep in thought.We are now on our way back to the academy. I looked outside the window, while Kyle’s resting his head on the car window on the other side. Kira’s focused on driving, and Mikan’s busy doing something on her phone.After the incident earlier, Kyle quickly pulled me out. When I turned around, I saw Mikan being pulled by Kira. I didn’t notice him earlier.These friends are really weird because they suddenly appear out of nowhere. They’re like Miley and Reiri.As we stepped out, they looked around as if searching for something. I did the same, even though I didn’t know what or who I was looking for. Until my attention focused on a man.He’s standing in front of a post far away from us and wearing a hoodie. I couldn’t see his face.But I’m sure he’s looking at us. Then I
Miley’s POVI am watching attentively while trying to maintain a heightened sense of awareness. We can come to the palace anytime we want. It’s just that they shouldn’t see us now or know what we’re doing. We might lose the opportunity to uncover the truth even more.But my concentration is being disrupted by the two noisy vampires beside me.“Could you guys please be quiet? Dad might hear and see us,” I softly scolded Reiri and Hiro.They’ve been arguing with each other since earlier. I don’t know what the problem is this time. But they’re just so irritating.They’re always like that, never agreeing with each other. They really should be separated.“We can just teleport, you know,” Hiro said, trying to lighten the mood. I gave him a disapproving look. Did he really think that would work with Dad? Especially since his teleportation ability can only cover short distances.“I forgot. Among the three of us, you’re the only one who can go to faraway places,” he said, but his attention is
Nicole Jane’s POVI have been half-walking, half-running for quite a while now. I’ve been searching for Mikan since earlier, but I still haven’t found her.She told me a while ago that she’ll just go to the library since she doesn’t have an appetite to eat. I told her that I’ll follow once I’m done with my food. But the moment I arrived at the library, I just found out that she’s not there anymore.To be honest, I don’t know why I’m looking for her now. In reality, I shouldn’t really care whether she attends the next class or not.I just shrugged. But where did that girl end up? This academy is so vast.One month has already passed since I first came here. I never imagined that I would stay here for long. It feels like there are only a few of us normal people here.I’m not saying that most of the people here were not normal or something. Don’t get me wrong. But most of the people here are just really weird. Even the teachers are like that. And they are extremely pale.They don’t even
Nicole Jane’s POVWe were walking silently on our way to the clinic. Meanwhile, I continued to ponder over what had happened.There was definitely something wrong.I glanced at my wristwatch for a second just to check the time. But I was taken aback when I noticed that our next class had already begun.“We should leave. Our class is starting, and we weren’t hurt much anyway,” I was about to pull Mikan away, but Miley immediately blocked our path.“You don’t have to worry about anything. Vince and Hiro already informed your teacher that you won’t be able to attend today.”“What?” I was about to protest, but they quickly dragged us away, leaving us with no choice.When we arrived at the clinic, we found Kyle sitting inside. I wondered what he was doing here.I decided to ignore him and the nurse welcomed us right away.“Please treat the gashes on their arms. Both of them fell in an accident,” Reiri said.The nurse attended to us promptly. She first approached Mikan, so I looked around t
Third Person’s POVThe man was gently drinking a red liquid while sitting on his throne when suddenly the large doors in front of him opened, and one of his trusted servants entered. The servant knelt down and bowed as a sign of respect.“I have good news, Master,” a tall, sturdy man spoke respectfully.A demonic smile flashed across the man’s face. In his mind, the day he had been waiting for to attain the desired immense power was truly approaching.“What is it?” His voice had a menacing tone, but excitement still seeped through.His servant looked up and grinned. “It has been confirmed that she is the one we have been searching for all this time.” Joy was evident in his eyes.He nodded, and happiness was visible on his face. “How does it confirm?” He stared intently at his servant. Even before it spoke, he had already read the answer in his mind.“Today, the red mark appeared on her neck. It’s a sign that she is the chosen one.”The man stood up and gently tapped his servant’s shoul
Kyle Ethan’s POV“Do you know why I suddenly got angry at you the first time we met?” She shook her head.“Because I thought you were an enemy since you managed to see this mansion where we live. And then I noticed that you weren’t wearing your bracelet. Just like now. I was just worried back then that someone from our kind might smell you. Because that bracelet serves as protection for the human students here.”Truthfully, I was fucking worried by that time. For the very first time again, I feel worried about a human being.She furrowed her brow. “What do you mean by that? How is this a form of protection?” she asked as she took the bracelet out of her pocket.I took it from her and put it on her. “We cast a spell on it. So that whenever you wear it, our kind won’t smell your blood, and they won’t be tempted. That’s also the reason why we try to protect you from getting injured as much as possible. All of us here have been trained to drink with animal blood. But I’m afraid to admit th
Nicole Jane’s POV“Just promise me that after two years, you’re going to marry me.” The boy held the girl’s hand and smiled so sweetly at her.“I promise! I’m already your fiancée, remember?” She giggled, then held up her left hand, showing him their engagement ring.“I’m just making sure, you know. You know how forgetful you can be.” He chuckled when she playfully hit his right shoulder hard.“I don’t understand you! You always have to tease me, no matter what.” The girl turned away from him and crossed her arms.The boy poked her side repeatedly. “You’re so sensitive. I was just joking around.”The girl remained silent, but a smile gradually appeared on her lips.The boy frowned. “Are you still ignoring me?” This time, he tickled her, but she still acted indifferent.“Oh, I see. You’re really testing me, huh?”The girl felt the sudden absence of the boy behind her. She was about to turn around to check where he went when suddenly, the boy appeared in front of her.“You thought so, h
Third Person’s POVThe king silently observed from the window of the hall when suddenly, one of his trusted men entered. Even without looking, he recognized him based on his presence.“Did they launch another attack after what happened at the supermarket?” he calmly asked. Though in truth, he felt a surge of anger because their enemies had claimed a new victim.“None yet, Your Highness. For now, that incident remains the latest instance of their recruitment. We have also found a way to prevent it from becoming public,” the newcomer answered.The king sighed. “Most likely, he is already preparing a plan against us. That’s why he has been strengthening his forces in recent months.”He turned around to face the person who was addressing him. “Do you know that she was also present during that incident? Aren’t you at all a bit concerned?”The person smiled broadly before shaking his head. “I have great trust in her. Besides, I know that at this point, she is gradually discovering things abo
