~Ashley~"My body hurts so bad." Cassie moaned in pain beside me. I turned to look at her and mocked teasingly. "We only jogged. How could your bones be so saggy?" She punched me playfully by the arm before Maverick graced us with his presence. "Welcome to the second day of our training. Those of you who think you can keep up are free to leave now. If you don't, there's no turning back." He announced, his loud voice echoing throughout the empty compound. Slowly, youths began leaving the compound. Half of us left leaving me in surprise. When I looked around, I sighed seeing it was people who loved to bully me. Maverick only continued when he noticed the ones who yearned to leave where gone. "Now, there's a banquet party done every month, whichever of you ace's this test gets to come with us." As soon as he finished, I heard whisperings, people happily discussing the offer. Cassie wasn't left out, after all, it was a great fit to leave the pack at and mingle with humans once in
~Maverick~I watched the white haired pack member interact with her friend and had to turn away from them when I heard the approaching footsteps of someone. I looked back to see if it was my mate, Jenson. She looked towards the two girls and back at me. "Where did you keep your phone? I've been calling." She said. I put on an apologetic look as I touched both pockets in search of my phone. I took it out to see seven missed calls from her. "I'm sorry, I got carried away with the training." I apologized, forcing out a guilty smile. Jenson nodded and walked closer to me. "I thought I'd remind you that the duel is tomorrow evening. How are you doing?" I swallowed forcefully but replied her regardless, "I've been preparing. If I push harder, winning won't be that difficult to attain." She smiled and patted my cheeks playfully, "I wish you the best, Mave. Always remember this will do us both good enough to last for a lifetime." Then she turned and walked away. I scattered my hair a
~Ashley~I shoved Cassie aside and walked ahead of her. Seeing her getting bullied by Claire only made my past memories swarm back. The weak, ugly, defenseless girl. "Come on, Ashley, I know you're hiding something." I heard her groan from behind me but didn't stop walking. Her next move was unexpected as I had my mask yanked out of my face. I stared at her gobsmacked face before reaching out to grab it and fixed it to my face, this time more tighter. "My eyes can't be deceiving me, Ashley. You're no longer scarred." Cassie rambled on behind me. I ignored her the whole time wishing we would get home quickly. However, she suddenly held my hand and threw me to the ground. Again, it was a surprise attack and I couldn't help looking up at her with a frown as I jumped back onto my feet. "If you're trying to provoke me into a fight, then know your plan will not work." I scoffed and turned to walk away again but felt myself being drawn back. Yet again, I got thrown to the ground. This
~Ashley~ "Is the girl awake?" I heard a woman's voice and my eyes snapped open. I looked at the silver-haired woman who stood in front of me. The moment she saw me, she tsked and bent to take a closer look at my face. "She's not so bad." I looked down in time to see my mask at her foot, being stepped on. She followed my gaze and smirked. "Sorry, I found it rather impudent to find your face covered whenever I looked at you." I didn't say anything as I looked back at her. "What do you want with me? And who are you?" "I only want to talk." She chose to only reply to my first question for reasons best known to her, then she sat on a chair which a man pushed forward for her. "I have something very important to talk with you about." "If you wanted to talk to me you could've just asked politely. Why treat me like a foe?" I questioned. "You don't know me and seeing how you treated a good friend of yours hours ago, I didn't think it was a good idea for me to pop out of nowhere and reques
The Other Side Of New Jersey~Rebecca~ "We went through her memory and found out she was asked to sneak into here and steal information regarding the girl we've been working on. "That's what happened." I mumbled. As much as I wanted to give in to my vamp nature by being cruel to the dead witch, I sighed and turned to one of my witches. "Consecrate her." "Yes." She replied and took the ashen body away and the rest followed behind her. Almost immediately, I heard footsteps behind me and turned to look at the Intruder. "Gillies seems to be preparing for war." She hinted and I sighed. I furrowed my brows and walked past her. "We're always ready for war." "He's not warring with us." Celene hinted nervously, prompting me to stop. "He already teamed up with Thorny Heart Pack. He assured them of victory against the Burning Heart Pack." "You've got to be kidding me!" I scoffed and walked hurriedly away. Gillies is too much! In order to evade our scrutiny, he decided to attack Ashley th
~General~Burning Heart Pack, 7pm, TownsquareSlowly, the whole town square became filled with pack members. All wishing to have a look at the Alpha's sons and of course, see the one who would lead them to their next phase of greatness!Meanwhile, Ashley whizzed through the numerous bodies with her mask tightly fastened to her face. She had the feeling someone would try to pull it off. She walked backstage to the place she was asked to meet the rest of the group. There, she met a cold Cassie. When she tried to approach Cassie, the latter walked away before she got to her. She was about to run after her when she got intercepted by Claire. "Your friend must be feeling like dying. Believe me, I'm also not happy about the current turn of events. After all, giving you one hell of a beating would've been better." Claire blabbed. What she never expected was for Ashley to run and walk away because of her whining. She had no time to fume as she was suddenly called by one of her friends.
~General~Terry Walkins had landed his foot hard at the place where Ashley stood. To everyone's surprise, Ashley was not there. No one saw her move but they couldn't deny the fact she evaded a kick which would've killed her. The rules were to fight with each other. Winners would be chosen. It never said anything about anyone dying. Which meant death was accepted. This was the loophole Willow exploited. Terry turned to look at Ashley, his eyes burning with fury. She happened to look into his eyes and realized the fella wasn't himself. "Are you alright?" She asked with a frown. "I'm not." Terry replied, advancing towards her, "But I will be when I have your head." Ashley was outstanded by the words. So much that she lost focus and got flung away by a kick from him. She got back onto her feet and snarled. The two circled themselves for a minute before Terry attacked again. This time, Ashley didn't hold back. Regardless, she still got beaten to stupor. Terry was just about to ki
~Willow~ I watched Ashley drop to the ground and instantly looked up to find the vampire who lives by the lake. "What is the meaning of this?" I asked, not scared of her like I had previously been. After she rejected my request and forced me to come to Ashley in order to become a vampire, I despised her. My anger ran deep after I heard she killed one of Burning Heart's pack members. "If I hadn't come, you'd be digging your own grave." She said and bent over to check Ashley's pulse, she looked up at me and announced, "She's still alive." "Not like I care." I scoffed. She smiled at me and extended her right hand. "My name is Celene Ford, nice to meet you again." I left her hand hanging as I looked down at Ashley's unconscious body. "That is a rude behavior you've got there." She laughed, retracting her hand. "Explain to me why you said I'd be digging my own grave." When I didn't hear a sound from her, I looked up at her and gave her a worried look. "What is it?" "Now, I do
