EverMore Academy~Keller~I glanced at Ashley who watched over Cassie with a worried look and looked away again. "Keller, is there no way to extract whatever they put in her?" She asked me and I shook my head. "They might be, Ashley. Mia Melly or another powerful witch might know something." "The more reason why we need to get out of here as soon as possible." She mumbled and got up from her bed. Charlotte and Taylor had their eyes pinned on us, none saying anything. "If you have anything to say, then say it and stop staring at us like zombies!" I finally snapped at them, unable to bear the intense heat from their stares any longer. Taylor scoffed, placed her head on her pillow and shut her eyes. While Charlotte got out of bed and headed towards us. "You can talk from your bed, can't you? My side of the room is already filled with three people." I heard Ashley say with a sigh and resisted the urge to chuckle. Charlotte wasn't embarrassed as she turned and returned to her bed,
~Rebecca~After leaving Drexa's Compound, Rebecca headed to Pegasus Bar. That was where she felt a cold hand on her shoulder. "Can I join you for a drink?" She heard a feminine voice and refrained from turning to look at its owner. "Sure." The chair beside her was pulled back and a lady on black sat beside her. When she leaned forward and saw the latter's identity, she scoffed, "After days of disappearing, you suddenly appear. Fascinating!" "Drexa will do anything to get me to be one of her witches. It's advised I act with discretion." She turned to look at Mia and chuckled. "What did you do to her?" "Nothing that can't be forgiven." Mia replied and turned to the waiter. "Get me a bottle of vodka, please." The waiter turned around and brought down a bottle of vodka from the shelf, then slid it over to her along with a glass cup. "I've not been opportuned to ask you regarding the last stunt you pulled earlier with Ashley." Rebecca suddenly said when the other woman was pourin
EverMore Academy~Ashley~I stopped under the tree we had hidden the night we discovered who the Principal really was. I thought of so many things until I heard footsteps and turned to see who it was. "That look on your face, don't tell me you've forgotten me so soon?" Steven said as he walked towards me. I turned again, backing him now. He walked to my side and stood quietly beside me. "How has the school been for you?" He asked with a shrug after staying silent for quite a long time. "I've been accused of so many things, unjustly treated because I'm a hybrid and the witches harbor the thought that I killed one of their own. The vampires and the wolves are steering clear of me. So I guess I've been okay." I replied in one breath. I could tell he was surprised when I turned to look at him. "You're the first of your kind. It's normal that they are frightened." "I'm Cassidy's daughter. My father was a werewolf and my mother was a vampire. What the hell did they want? A vampire?"
~Rebecca~Mia had us stop somewhere else. "One of your houses?" I asked but she shook her head. "Someone's place. I borrowed it simply because he hasn't been back for a long time." She replied and I nodded. "Is he a witch as well?" I asked again and she nodded. She walked to a table and cleared everything on it, then walked to one of the rooms. I sat on the only cushion in the room and pinned my eyes on the table. She walked out minutes later and began preparing something. "So you think Yoel is in EverMore?" I asked once again and she briefly paused to look at me. "Yes. But I don't think he's alone." She replied and refocused on what she was doing. "There's a familiar energy I keep feeling." I went silent before mumbling, "If I'm not wrong, that should be Caddel." Although she didn't reply, I knew I was right. "I'm done." I heard her say minutes after I zoned out of the literal world. She caught my eyes and raised a brow. "You can come now. I'm done." "What is the plan?"
Drexa had her arms folded as she looked at the man. "So how do you intend on doing that?" She finally asked. "I have her friend's life hooked around my finger. Once I snap it, the little girl will die. But, Ashley being the sensitive little girl that I've come to know, will not let me." Yoel replied. "So when that happens, you can then ask for a ritual to be done in order to extract her powers." "Not necessarily since I only need her blood to draw her powers to myself. Coupled with the one I already have, I will be unstoppable." The discussion had to end as the time for Drexa to be in there elapsed and Dagon had to draw her out. He lowered his head slightly expecting her to be upset. "It was risky to leave you in there. I apologize." However, prior to his expectation, she had a big smile on her face. "You don't have to worry about that Dagon. Just get me Samuel." Dagon nodded and walked out of the room quickly. Left alone, her smiley face became a cold frown. "You asked for m
~Rebecca~I felt pulled out as soon as possible and opened my eyes to see Mia staring down at me. She breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw me open my eyes. "I'm glad you're alright." "Did we overstay?" I asked and tried to get up. "No, we didn't but someone tried to trap us in there. I couldn't take the risk and immediately pulled you out with me." She retorted and walked away. "You look startled. What did you see?" I glanced at her and thought of telling her about Caddel but after a second thought, I changed my mind. "I was walking around aimlessly. It seems you're right. Whatever is in there is hiding from everyone. And I strongly perceive it's a great evil." I replied instead. "I noticed too." I heard her reply. "What did you see in there?" I asked and walked towards her. "I saw Ashley hiding a body. The girl wasn't dead but she was unconscious." Mia muttered but added, "There was something strange about her." "What was that?""Ashley seemed to sense my presence. She
EverMore Academy ~Ashley~"What are you staring at?" I heard and recognized the voice to belong to Keller. I turned away from the wall and stared towards the direction of the door. "I thought I saw someone there. How did you find me?" "How quickly you forgot about the location spell I did for Rebecca! It was done so I can keep my eyes on at all times!" She scoffed and I couldn't help getting annoyed. "If I'm not mistaken, I'm three months older than you. There's no need to act like my mother right now." She stared into my eyes and sighed. "Well, it took me quite some time to find you. I was beginning to make up the worst scenarios in my head. I was really worried." I paused. "What do you mean by that? Doesn't that happen when another stronger magic is being done? In other words, it's being blocked by another?" I repeatedly asked and she nodded but the look of surprise in her eyes didn't escape my eyes. "How did you know that? I didn't expect a vampire to care so much about wit
Drexas CompoundDrexa was in the compound when some of her vampires walked in carrying some bodies. One of them stepped forward and bowed slightly. "We found their headless bodies just outside the compound. Hidden discretely where they knew we'd catch the smell of their decaying bodies." Drexa tilted her head to the side and smiled coldly. "How many bodies are there?" "Fifteen." The man replied and Drexa nodded quietly. It was something known that whenever Drexa stayed quietly, her thoughts were especially murderous. However, after a few seconds, she dismissed the man. "Burn the bodies and wait for my order." Unfortunately, the man wasn't consoled with her words. "If we do nothing they'd think we're weak! We need to do something!" "I know, but for now, take their bodies and burn them. Wait for my orders and do nothing drastic." It was an order the man knew he couldn't disobey. So he quietly nodded and turned towards the other men, We're burning them. Take them to the back of t
