The Phantom Queen Chapter 28: Leaping Through Differences
VALKYRIEIt was the first Tuesday of the month and everyone was still hyped about the Homecoming party last week. Contrary to the vibes around the school, I was in the hiding mood, careful not to be seen by my mate to the extent that I didn't eat my lunch in the cafeteria. Despite that, my entire senses were focused on her so I knew exactly if she was close to my parameter or not. Vance and Esther had been pushing me to just do it but I didn't know what to expect once I confronted her. I was actually beyond nervous and didn't want to mess it up again.However, I would see her in our last class so it was going to be my moment to turn the table around for the both of us. As I walked slowly to the classroom, I gathered that she was still not in her usual seat which was in front of mine. Sighing in relief, I sat on my chair, watching the students entered one by one. But once she strode into the room while laughing at Ethan beside her, the world stopped its pace. I didn't know how much I m
The Phantom Queen Chapter 29: The Son and Daughter of Bridge
VALKYRIEAfter things had calmed down, Sage told me to give her time to think alone about what she should do. She also made me promise not to tell Gwen and Cayde about how she finally learnt their secret. My loyalty lied with my mate so I willingly obliged without any complain. Those two weren't even planning to expose themselves yet, despite knowing in their mind that Sage would eventually find out. Essie was right when she told me that Sage was already involved no matter how much I shove her away from this situation. Hence why I think that Gwen and Cayde shouldn't hide themselves anymore.Another day had begun and I was woken up by repeated knocks against my bedroom door. I groggily moved out of the bed to open it, only to see my twin brother."What are you doing knocking on my door? You could have woken me up through the link," I grumbled, massaging my temple."Ready yourself. Dad wants to talk to us at the peak before breakfast," he said, alarming me. Vance gave me a meaningful lo
The Phantom Queen Chapter 30: The Shadow of the Glimmers
SAGEHave you ever wake up from a dream full of roses beneath your feet? With a clear sky above your head and rainbows falling down to the cloud? With trees playing like a magical instrument with the air whispering the lyrics through your ear? My life before felt like this——almost perfect and filled with love and warmth.However, once I'd woken up from that dream, everything seemed like a grayscale. Roses enlarged with thorns and rainbows fading into nothing but an empty space. Even the rustle of the trees sounded like a piece of sorrowful music while the air was spitting venom in my ears. Lies spewed dusk in my mind, influencing my thoughts not to trust anyone any longer. To be honest, I was already exhaustedI looked out of the window of my car, watching the students laughed with each other, going through the day without any care in the world. Ignorant of the creatures hiding among them and taking advantage of their lives, not knowing about how fragile it could be for them with just
The Phantom Queen Chapter 31: Trouble and Paradise
SAGEVal and I got into our last class, discussing our plans later after school. We were going to watch a slasher film anyway so we might as well make it bloody for my friends. The idea of them being supernatural creatures was a shocker, indeed. But Val had advised me to just think about what we'd been through as a trio and the time I'd spent with them since we've met. That I should look into who they are in my life, not about the idea of them being different than normal.Just like Val as a werewolf. Just like me being a girl and still greatly attracted to her.We were both in the midst of our planning when a loud thud caused our heads at the front desk. I almost fell from my seat when I realized who it actually was. Oh no! This was the only class that we shared so why did she have to be the teacher who was going to be the substitute for Mrs. Olsen? That tedious teacher had to take a maternal leave, unfortunately for me."Okay, class! Starting from now on, I will be your Algebra teach
The Phantom Queen Chapter 32: Soft Bite and Tender Evil
SAGE We were on our way to our house after a fun-filled grocery shopping. I couldn't even wash away the smile from my face when Val was being contagiously happy. Well, what more could I say after that sweet kiss we had a while ago? It was just a brief moment but that symbolized the answers to her questions——the reciprocation of her love for me. Although I wasn't really good with words, I knew that she was aware of what I was trying to convey from that kiss. And I was more than glad that after the cruel torrent that went against the current of our relationship, I'd finally admitted it to myself——that I had these profound feelings for her. It wasn't that easy to accept due to the awful circumstances but that exactly verified all the confusion within me. That despite our differences, she all I could think about these past few days. Maybe that's why I blamed her of all people, because my feelings towards her was stronger than everybody else.But now, I felt free than ever before. Even th
The Phantom Queen Chapter 33: Burned-Out Memories
VALKYRIEA blissful night had past and a new day cycled through Saturday once again. I recalled yesterday's event in my mate's house with her friends. After their sweet moment, Ava came home and found her vase broken into pieces on the ground. She was so livid at us, mentioning how much she valued it because apparently, it was a gift from her mother. Unfortunately, we didn't get to sleep over in Sage's last night. We had no choice but to go home. Though that didn't stop me to jump over Sage's balcony and kissed her later that night.The heavy load in my heart had finally rinsed away, glad that Sage was beginning to accept us for what we are. I just had to find the right time to tell her about the visions Ingrid had about her. That was the only thing that was left out anyway. For now, we just had to find where the false Phantom Pack and their hybrids were hiding. It was another month so I would expect them to strike again.... which was weird. Why they had to wait for another month to s
The Phantom Queen Chapter 34: Treaty of Bellámore
VALKYRIEIt was already two in the afternoon after we had snuck out of the Sullivan's residence. Sage just told her parents that she was gonna hang out with the two of her best friends, not mentioning about me tagging along with them so they easily let her go. Flora was skeptical though and reminded her not to get in trouble. I guessed Ava didn't told her that I was in their house last night.Once we pulled over at the lot of the Bellámore campground, I instantly spotted Vance and Esther nearby. The four of us got out of the car and walked towards them. My hand reflexively grabbed Sage's hand, warming her up alongside the cold air of the autumn weather."Hey, Sage... I see that you're now joining our little weird party," Vance exclaimed, giving her a big embrace once again.Sage got startled but returned his hug nonetheless. Esther impishly winked at me and I was grateful to her for knocking some sense on me. If she didn't intrude me that day, I would persisted to downcast myself for
The Phantom Queen Chapter 35: Treasure inside the Storm
VALKYRIEWhen we didn't find any more clues, we'd decided to give it a rest for now and went home straightaway. We only assigned some of our warriors in that area as lookouts, in case our enemies show themselves. It had been more than a month since we started our search, a month since I met Sage. Honestly, it felt like it had been a long time because there was so much happened since then.It was already nine in the evening. I was fixing the camera I gave to Sage when she got out of her bathroom, done taking her shower. I instantly smelled her strawberry scent while she rubbed her hair dry with a towel. A smile appeared on my face when she yawned adorably, obviously exhausted from our activities today."Love, come here. I'll blow dry your hair for you," I said, lifting my arm up.Sage reached out for my hand without any hesitation and I guided her to the chair in front of her vanity desk."Are you gonna stay here tonight?" she asked, staring at me through the mirror as I began to work
