[ IN WHICH SHE IS NOT HERSELF ] Something has come over me. Something dark.Something evil. I am not myself.But I can't stop what I have already started. The minute I left Lucian City, something in me changed. Something uncontrollable bloomed. Something unrecognizable germinated. Maybe that was why the guards didn’t come after me when I declined their offer to be an escort. But they could also have been commanded by their King to stay back. So they all watched me walk out. It was almost like they were watching me do their bidding. It felt like Lucian City had turned me all around to be who they wanted me to be— to be Faye, their Queen only. But then again, it could have been the Lycan King who had me wrapped around his ringed finger all this time. He did prove that after giving me an urge to release, and then, telling me to hold on.That was cruel. But it only made me want to act cruel.It has nearly been an hour since I left Lucian City, the land of the werewolves. And I haven't

[ IN WHICH SHE SEEKS REVENGE ]Sin hurries towards me as I walk through the doors, but triggered by my question, he pauses in his steps.“What?”“Answer me! Did you like it?” I wield my sword with my left hand, standing by the door.His face crumbles. “I do not know what you are talking—”“Don’t fucking lie to me! You know what I speak of. I know you killed me.”I watch his Adam’s apple bop up and down as he swallows under pressure. He reaches his hands out, advancing slowly towards me with caution written all over his face.“Alright, lower the sword. I need you to calm down.”I wave the sword around like a wild, madwoman. I may have gone mad. Actually, no, I have indeed gone mad. I do not understand why I have to act this violent. The last time I was like this and had no control, it was minutes before the ghouls attack. Are the ghouls coming for me? Or is it something else coming to devour me?“Don’t tell me to calm down. You do not tell a woman to calm down.” I quote something I lea

[ IN WHICH SHE SEEKS REVENGE... BUT REGRETS IT ] What have I done? I crash back into my senses after the deed has been done. My teary eyes watch Sin with my heart aching in my chest. I can feel the consequences of the pain I have caused him. I cry harder, seeing the torment playing along the fine lines on his face. It was like I had been possessed. I would never have done that. As much as I like to deny it, I love Sin. But maybe not as much as I thought? Someone who loves you wouldn't drive a sword through your heart. Then, out of nowhere, the ground starts to shake with each grunt Sin lets out. I nearly get knocked off my feet when a large item falls to the ground. My eyes rove the area as the room starts to mimic darkness, creating the illusion that it is already nighttime. Then with one last scream from Sin as he starts to pull the sword out, a giant body of black smoke makes its way out of him. A dangerous growl comes with it as it grows bigger and bigger, reaching towards th

[ IN WHICH SHE IS BACK TO THE BEGINNING ] My eyes snap open. It takes a whole minute for my brain to register the things around me. For the first few seconds while my brown eyes are opened, everything around me moves fast, and they move by in a blur. It is like I am immobile and stagnant while the world ages in time. Then, suddenly, it begins to slow down. The enthusiastic chatter of people’s voices settle in an irritating murmur, and it feels like I am trapped in a bubble that causes their voices to echo loudly in my ears. The lights blind me, and I feel nausea wash over me like I had just taken a terrible rollercoaster ride. Then, instantly, everything clicks. And everything is clear. The joyful chatter of friends and familiar socialites reaches my ears. My body freezes in the chair. I am back at the Dinner Gala event. It is like someone had reserved time. “Sin.” I mutter. Tears blur my vision, ruining my eye makeup. I jolt in my chair, realizing the truly tragic state of my

[ IN WHICH SHE IS DESPONDENT ]What comes next? I find myself asking that question as the clock ticks by, and yet after many hours, the answer still hasn't dropped in the palm of my hands. I have no idea what comes next, hence the feelings of hopelessness.Sighing dejectedly, I lift my eyes to peer around the vehicle. My brown eyes fall on the two men sat in front of me— my designated driver in his assigned seat, and my bodyguard, Jon in the passenger seat.

[ IN WHICH SHE IS AN AGGRESSIVE NIGHT OWL ] Insomnia. I envy those who can sleep whenever they want to. It has been approximately 4 hours and I haven't gotten any sleep. My intention was to cry myself to sleep, but after roaring like a wounded lion and wailing like a gigantic sea animal, my eyes are now puffy and my voice is hoarse, and yet, to no surprise, I still cannot fall asleep, despite being unimaginably tired. What I still can do is silently whimper in my soul. So, this is what a broken heart feels like. Now, I understand the movies' portrayal of a broken heart. Except mine feels worse than that.And it kills me even more that I caused half of it.I continue to lay there on my bed, staring at the white ceiling. I had turned on the light projector in my bedroom, and it projects beautiful stars onto the ceiling, giving the illusion that I am trapped in outer space; the Milky Way Galaxy. The moment I start to make peace with the dark and quiet luxurious bedroom, a loud knock

[ IN WHICH SHE REVISITS THE NIGHT OWL CLUB ] A famous actor named, Joaquin Phoenix once said— “I’ve been in clubs. I don’t like being in an enclosed place with really loud music, and a lot of drunk people. It’s not my idea of a good time. It’s just a miserable life.” Well, that is him. I, November Starkey, I am a different person. People also say that a man's poison is another man's meat. What is bad for Joaquin may not be bad for me. I have also been to clubs, and it almost destroyed me, but that was because I went into the infamous Nightlife as a minor. Now, I am grown, and no longer a minor. I can handle my liquor. I am smarter now. So, in this case, I will use a famous adage by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, which says, “what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.” This Nightlife style of living I have indulged myself into will make me stronger. At dawn, I will walk out of the club a brand new person. I will let go tonight. Nightlife will change me.What is the N

The minute Marcus and I set foot through the entrance, we are submerged into a dimension that contrasts the usual world we are used to. Inside the club, everyone is drowned in darkness, and their only source of light is the red and green laser beams shooting out from the rotating lights on the ceiling. It is a Saturday night, and the club is packed with people of different backgrounds and different personalities gathered together, drinking and jumping to the DJ's throbbing music. The most diverse place on earth is arguably the club; you will find all sorts of people here. “This way,” Marcus says into my ear. The music is insanely loud that I can't hear myself think, so I understand why Ma
