Shaine's Advice
There was something about the midterm that pressured Hera so much. She had learned to call it the ‘Kicked Out Midterm’ because everything just seemed to hang on its thread. She knew she only had what it takes to receive a bottom mark and the orphanage would be her home again. It’d be the last thing she wanted, especially now that she already knew she had the greatest of potential to be a natural full-fledged Anomalous.
It was exactly for this reason that Hera was to be found sitting on her study table all night long, highlighting some notes despite the stinging of her eyes. In truth, she had never studied all her life. This would be the first time. She’s already breaking the limit. Any moment now, she’d be exploding with all the things she has forced inside of her head. She only gets by the thought that

The Body Thief Warning
On the day of the exam, Psyche Sect was to wake with the sky drawn by dampened clouds, the horizon a dirty-white with occasional streaks of light illuminating its scope, looking like that of a child ready to whine any minute or two.It was to this that the school staff was to be found erecting a long tent in the Amphitheater, lining about ten armchairs in a row and ten in a column, each of them carrying a netbook, a sheaf of parchment, and a pen. All the chairs were numbered, corresponding to the scheduled student to take the test on this day.Because everyone was to take the midterm in the Amphitheater, it would last for a week and a half. To consider the time and the subject the student would be tested on, every exam only had a thirty-minute interval. The examinees were expected to hold themselves to a higher standard, which means that 0n
The Body Thief Complete Manifestation
For the next two days, Hera managed to keep herself on her toes, despite her despair and her stupidity now crashing over her, telling her she could not and would not pass over and over again. She was not meant to be there in the first place. It would have been a rare feat to even accomplish a passing score when all the time she’s studying, she was preoccupied with the thought that she couldn’t understand a thing while scanning and dreading the day her doom was to come. She almost always wished for the sun not to set whenever it hid in the mountain, exploding the horizon with gold and orange rays, the night slowly taking over as she grabbed her hair, throwing her book against the wall, and crying for not wanting to fail but not being able to study well enough.It didn’t help that students were exiting the Amphitheater with slumped shoulders and eyes swelling with tears. She didn&rsqu
The Body Thief Consequence
“Tina had gone mad, ain’t she?” said a girl whose blonde hair was tied in a ponytail, watching as Tina Goldstein passed by them and sat in an opposite chair in the Filling Realm, eating rather fast without a care in the world.A girl sitting next to her narrowed her eyes. “I think so, too.” She nodded, as though it settled the matter. “Have you heard to what she did to poor Merinda when she pranked her two days ago?”“Oh, yes, I did. Why shouldn’t I? It was a big scandal, ain’t it? The League was almost involved, but they did not, hadn’t they? They, too, are acting pretty weird. Usually, what Tina had done would merit her a reputation the likes of Janna’s sister, yet she did not. But I do think no one had forgotten how she had almost killed Merinda with nothing but a pen.”
The Body Thief Threat
On the last day of the midterm exam, Hera was to wake staring at the canopy of her bed, smiling a little as she felt for her body, realizing almost at once that she’s still inside Trina. She sat upright, chuckling when she saw the same frames and sticky notes on the stickered wall.Somehow, she felt bad because this would mean she wouldn’t be able to take the exam. She knew, though, that the League would have to consider her, for she was confined in the Hospital Wing. Although she’s weirded by the idea that her own body was in a state of comma, yet she’s wide awake here in Trina’s body, she couldn’t help being indifferent with it, especially when this was the very thing she wanted from the start: escaping the accursed fate her body was born with.She glanced in the mirror for a second or two, pursing her lips.
The Body Thief Absurdity
The news about Tina facilitating the last day of the exam with the League traveled faster than she could reach her dorm. Speculations and rumors immediately bloomed and everyone that had known Trina was banking on her to become one of the League itself. It was, after all, what happened when the League started to give out the task to outsiders that they themselves were doing. In this instant, what Trina had done to the poor Merinda and even her supposed madness was erased in a jiffy, as though she didn’t just attack her own friends, as though she had not almost killed anyone. Everywhere she went, students were whispering, pointing at her. Some were braver than anything she’d expect that they would stand in front of them and ask her if what they thought was right. Of course, because of the League’s gesture toward her, the knot to Hera’s patience had become rather thin and anyone who dared to go near her got a resounding snap and a threat if she could help it. “Hera or
The Body Thief Ticking Time
Hera woke up with a loud gasp, breathing heavily as though she just surfaced from the deepest of ocean. She stared at the canopy for a moment, unaware of where she was and why she was breathing, trying to define what it was that brought her back to consciousness. It was until a stabbing pain crushed through her heart that she sat upright, her hand clenched on her chest, all thoughts now replaced with a nagging superiority of fear. She looked down at her shaking hands. It struck her as something unfamiliar, strange, and she remembered it wasn’t her hand but Trina’s. “I’m still not back?” she whispered, gulping as she arched on her back, groaning ever so loudly with yet another stab of excruciation wrapping her heart. Lying back down, she bit her lips, trying not to think what would happen i
The Body Thief Yara's Greatest Mistake
Mastering body-thieving was a dream come true. But being able to escape the life and the body Hera’s been accursed with was beyond her reality. Even after it happened, she was hunted by the fact that she had to go back, that death was the cost she had to pay with the desire to leave the destiny she’s been born with.So cruel, so unfair, but nothing less than she expected. That’s how life worked. Everyone was given a path they’d have to walk through and defying it was a noble yet futile act. Perhaps it’s about luck or a criterion of which she’s yet to discern; one way or another, someone was to be born with fortune as their middle name. It just so happened that she got the end of the stick, and so, the legacy with which she inherited was nothing more than a residue of flaws and a punch of misery.She
The Body Thief A Terrible Past
Standing by the window, Hera watched the rain splattered by its glass, following its trail as it slid down the gutter.Somehow, she’s trying not to look at her reflection in it, for in the surface of her eyes, she could see the clip so vividly, playing seamlessly as though never wanting to be forgotten.It’s been over a day, yet the horror and anger circling her sister’s orbs remained ever-clearer. It looked as though even when a millennium passed, that picture of a terrible fate would not fade away. It was something she could not chew. Every time she’s reminded of it, she just lost her grip on herself, and everything that’s near ended up lying helplessly on the ground, broken to pieces. Most times, she imagined what it would feel if she could just run her hand through
