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.

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
The Body Thief A Terrible Past 2
The tent’s only source of light came from the pea-size flame dancing in the candle and the biggest of the moon that had been raised on the horizon that year. Hera followed the dance of this fire, the breeze of the wind caressing her whole being as what Mang Kanor had said echoed inside her head.She didn’t want to perceive her mother other than the picture of what she should have been, but every time she contradicted herself, the memory of her mother yelling at her father who’s doing nothing but to apologize spiraled in her thoughts, never-ending.“Happy birthday, Hera,” said her mother, the widest of smiles caressing her lips.It’s been over an hour since she arrived. Thousands of times she questioned her about the whereabouts of her father, but she’d only
The Body Thief Changes
Hera woke up abruptly and was greeted by the darkness of her dorm. There was something about its eternal shadows comforting each corner that serenaded her soul. She couldn’t understand what it was that she came here for and why she was opening her eyes despite not seeing anything. It took her quite some time to realize what it was that she really felt and another moment of pondering why she sensed filth in her existence.Breathing heavily, she listened to the patter of the rain outside, dancing into the rhythm of the heaven’s emotion. In a way, it synchronized with the depth of her despair, fitting so perfectly well into the gap of her own puzzle. She thought it was imprudent of her not to heed its song, for in the tune it drummed to the surface laid the rest she always longed to grasp.With her mind still echoing the memory she
The Body Thief Rogue
Once Hera went out of her dorm, she was greeted by Kioven who was sitting cross-legged beside the door, his palm facing his lap, his eyes closed. Hera was fazed for a moment, frozen in her track, her mind couldn’t quite process what he was doing there. Blinking rather rapidly, she made to move past him, but she stopped once again when he spoke. “You went out at last.” She didn’t know if she should feel relieved that someone was waiting for her to come out in the open or disappointed that life was yet again giving her a reason to see a ray of light. Truth be told, she’s tired of misreading the signs. One moment it seemed that she’d be able to grasp and grapple all of her fears and in the other, it just seemed to be the only real thing. “Are
The Body Thief Psychic
The quarter wherein the League dwelled was unlike anything Hera had seen. Everywhere she looked had a glimmer of wealth she would never be able to see had she stayed in the orphanage. The walls had the same glass as her dormitory, but the texture in which it had was in a way different level. Unlike the normal standard of the school and Sheel’s room, this one had a clearly defined and smooth look in them, which from afar made it resemble a mirror—only it didn’t reflect anything but the light coming from the elegant chandelier hanging way above the high-arching ceiling. A quarter was really an understatement when seated to the extravagance of the League’s nest. It looked more like a mansion than anything else. It had ten rooms, each facing the sitting room where Yara and Hera were currently positioned. Hera was seated on a high chair, her eyes closed while Yara stood at her back, humming a littl
The Body Thief The Stain on the President's Name
The second Perry’s palm touched Hera’s bare skin, Hera felt as though the world around her jerked so fast that she could only make out a blurred line. She tried to catch her breath as her consciousness slipped away; a sensation of something being sucked from her system made her weak in the knees. She screamed at the top of her lungs, screamed as she’d never done all her life, for the pain crawling to the depth of her very existence would surely end the journey she long had cursed.Before she knew it, she was slumped on the tiled ground, sweating profusely. Perry, meanwhile, was thrown toward the wall by an invisible force. She stole a glance at Hera, but the force that had flattened her against the wall vanished, and she slid on her feet, her whole body shaking, blood trickling from her nose.“Does that happen all th
The Body Thief Humid Night
Had it not for Yara and Perry, Hera and Sheels would have driven their way to the mansion of Hera’s bitch of a mother. It pained her to unravel what had become of the person who sell her after all these years; at the same time, she pitied her mother’s fate. She once was a beautiful rose, well taken care of, and was given more than what she needed to survive. When she fell in love, she welted in place, reduced into clinging desperately to the only relative who had his eyes at her even though the consequences following it was to become the dirty mistress of her own cousin.In a way, she had fallen more deeply than her daughters. She who had swallowed her respect to life, she who had bargained her own children just to have another go of the wealth she used to have, she who had destroyed the family of her own kin, was even to hell undeserving. She earned a lifetime of suffering and a timeless
The Body Thief The Right Ones
When Hera woke up the next day, it was to find herself in a spiral of confusion as to where and why she’s in a strange room. It took her quite some time to realize she’s in the League’s Quarter and that her dorm was under construction because of her rampage.A prick of guilt ate away in her consciousness, but it was easier to brush it off once she thought of all the things she’d learned from the and&nb
