~Ashley~ I had my head placed on my desk while the teacher taught. Zane who sat right beside me couldn't stop talking. "Shut up, Zane." I exhaled, raising my head to glare at him. "You two have decided not to listen to a word that I say. Does that mean I should leave?" The man in front of us huffed. I glanced up at him and then at Zane, "Zane is listening. Or do you want to leave and watch me report to the Principal?" He glared at me in anger before turning to the board again. Nothing really changed after the impostor was killed and Heaven continued acting like nothing happened. As soon as I heard the sound of the bell, I got up and walked out of the door. I headed straight to the Principal's office where I was sure Liam would be. I knocked twice before going in. Heaven and Liam seemed to be in a conversation before I walked in. They must've used a spell to block their words, otherwise, I would've heard them. "It's afternoon already? The day runs so fast this century." He
~Ashley~ "The way y'all talk about my mother makes me want to meet her. I mean, I was able to bring Cassie back from the dead. Shouldn't that be the same for my mother?" I asked, raising my brows slightly and she sighed. "Yes. Mia, Eden and I, we're all capable of doing it. But the only problem is, ever since Cassidy died, no one knows where Drexa hid her body. Drexa knew we'd try to resurrect her, so she stacked the body where we don't know." Heaven sighed again. I batted my eyelids a couple of times and lowered my eyes to the floor. "I heard from Rebecca that Drexa has two of her brothers daggered in a box and stuffed away. Can my mother be in the same ordeal?"Heaven sucked onto her teeth and nodded. "It's possible that Cassidy is alive somewhere. Not alive in our kind of way. But her body is. Can I tell you something about the Elshers?" "Sure. I'm one of them now anyway." I retorted with a smile. "It's impossible to kill an Elsher." "I'm sorry?" I called again, thinking I ha
"You have?" M asked in surprise, looking at the woman. The woman walked past him and straight to a chair, "Yes, Mattew. I've been waiting for you ever since you arrived in Texas." Mattew nodded and walked towards another chair as well. "You know something about the recent killings going on with witches?" "Yes, I do. In fact, I have a message for you, Mattew." The elderly woman said. "From who? The killers?" He asked and the woman nodded. "You seem to know about this killers and yet you did nothing to help your own people." The woman chuckled, "If I was so powerful I would've still had my eyes, don't you think?" "Oh, you seem to be doing well without it." He countered and a wide grin spread across the woman's face. "I didn't survive out of my own will. I only survived because they needed an intermediary between them and the supernatural world." "I see. So what do you have to tell me?" M nodded. "They know your parents were killed by vampires and you've been stoked with revenge
The Other Side Of New Jersey , 11:43pm"Where exactly are we going?" Willow asked, walking out with Maverick. "We're going to the other side of New Jersey where there are a lot of things happening. That is the only place we can get a closer coverage on what your father has been doing." The man replied, turning to look at her. Willow paused and inhaled slowly, then she glared at him briefly. "He's not my father." Then she walked ahead of him, heading towards the train station. "Okay." Maverick replied behind her. They soon got to the train station and got on board. However, midway to their destination, a ruckus broke out in the train. The cause of the problem soon ran towards Willow's side of the train. He was quickly caught by some men in the train and held down. Willow furrowed her brows when she realized he was a vampire. "Excuse me. What did he do?" She asked the question everyone around wanted to but couldn't summon the courage to. One of the men glanced up at her and sho
~Ashley~ I walked into the compound with Dante eagerly holding my hands. "Officers, what can I help you with?" Rebecca asked when she walked down and saw the officers with him. "We're sorry, Miss Henderson, but his parents made it mandatory for him to be brought back as soon as he sees her." The officer in front replied. "Why is Martha still so bitter even after so many years?" Rebecca scoffed underneath her breath and I was forced to chuckle. "Ashley, are we having dinner down here or in the sitting room upstairs?" Rebecca asked, turning her attention to me. "Here doesn't sound like a bad idea." I replied before turning to Dante, "What do you think, Dante?""Whatever you want, my lady." He replied with a bright smile. *If I didn't know better, I would've thought you two were lovers." I heard Eden say and stared towards the stairs. "Eden, let her breathe. Ashley can do whatever she wants to do. She is a hybrid after all." Rebecca scoffed and walked beckoned on to a vampire nea
~Ashley~"You've been drinking since morning." Eden said, walking towards me. I didn't turn to look at her as I took another swing from my bottle. "Aren't you curious to see Marcellus and I here?" She asked after some seconds of silence. "I don't care." I replied, still not turning to look at her. "I see." She mumbled and reached out for the bottle in my hand but I moved my hand out of her reach. This time, I turned to look at her, raising my brows in provocation, "Send someone to get yours if you're interested." "I want to share yours with you." She replied with a smile. I stared at her for a while before handing the bottle to her. I watched her take a gulp from it before handing it back to me. "How long have you known Marcellus was your mate?" She asked. "I found out when I was still a werewolf. It doesn't matter anymore. I'm now a hybrid.""I've been meaning to ask. Before one can become a vampire, you have to die first. Did you ever die?" Eden asked me and I stopped to t
~Rebecca~"How long have you not heard from M?" I heard Mia ask and turned to look at her. I glanced at the table she was working on which was scattered with herbs. "Since last week. I was so busy with Ashley and EverMore that I didn't check up on him. When I called him a couple of days ago, it went unanswered." I replied and walked towards the table. Mia glanced up at me and nodded, "I see. Maybe he's probably busy as well." "I know but at least I deserve to know so I can help him from here. If it's to send more people to help him with whatever he has on, I can do it. Or I can even go myself." I breathed out. "Well, maybe he has his hands full and doesn't want to bother you until he has come up with a solution." Mia said, taking up a bowl. "I'm done. Do you have any of his belongings that I can use to track him?"I nodded and reached into my pocket for the face towel which I had nabbed from his room earlier. "Here." I mumbled, extending the towel to her. "Great. So, you'll giv
~Ashley~I turned back to Damien with an eye roll. I propped my head on the table using my right hand and continued watching him wail. "What is going on here?" I finally heard him ask as he walked towards our table. I didn't bother looking up at him. I stood up and glanced down at Damien who had also stopped wailing. "He said he's looking for you. Never knew you had a friend who tolerated you so much that'd he'd cry because he thought you were dead." I replied and took out my purse. I counted some money and dropped them on the table before leaving the restaurant. "Do you hate him that much?" Dante asked as soon as we were out of the restaurant. I ignored him and slipped my purse into my pocket. "We dealt with Drexa's vampires earlier. How do you think she'd retaliate?" "If she's really offended, she'd pay Rebecca a visit but I doubt she'd." He replied, causing me to glance at him."You don't think she'd be upset with me? Now that I think of it, I remember I murdered some of her
