Nevea was done packing her things and ready to let everything go. She looked at the clock wall that showed it was already two. She pushed the curtain to the side and looked at the weather because, based on the weather forecast, Stormsire would be hit by heavy rain and storm today. Fortunately, it was sunny, and there was no sign of a storm brewing. Nevea lifted her backpack to her shoulder and made her way out of the door. She looked left and right, making sure there was no hunter or Zach near her. After making sure she was safe, she continued to stride cautiously. Just when Nevea got comfortable and let her guard down, she felt something hard touch the back of her head. Nevea gulped and hoisted both hands in the air as if she had given up. “Turn around.” The voice was familiar to her. If her guess were correct, it should be Bryan Wells, one of Team Four’s members. The good thing was he was a human like her. Nevea sighed. She would have had a slight chance to escape if the hunters
Nevea didn't know what had happened. One moment she was bleeding and on the brink of death, and now she was suddenly thrown into another unexpected situation, which she believed she had never encountered before. The stark difference between the place and her clothing gave away that she was dreaming, or Zach was pulling a prank on her again. Right now, against her will, Nevea was sitting in front of a giant glass window that showed a vast landscape filled with towering trees. She then stood up, looked down at her creamy white dress, and felt the fabric on her skin. It was incredibly soft on her skin, which made her believe the material was most likely made of silk. Flower patterns adorned almost the whole part of the dress. 'Another dress… I'm dreaming again.' Nevea thought. She didn't know how in the world she could be in a dreamland, but her mind was totally aware of it. Despite that, she couldn't control her motion at all. She was to watch everything unfold before her eyes again.
"Nevea!" Zach's angry scream reverberated through the bathroom walls. He pushed each door of the toilets without caring whether someone was using it. Since Nevea woke up, Zach had a feeling that woman was cooking something in her pretty little head. The way her eyes wandered around him like he was her worst enemy and how her heart accelerated like she was in trepidation. He should've known it, yet he ignored those signs. After her almost-dying experience, Zach thought Nevea would cling to his arm and beg for his protection. But it wasn't her if she didn't manage to surprise him. And now, she successfully played him and escaped from his clutch. Zach hit the mirror hard until it broke to pieces, and blood flowed through his knuckle. "Damn you, Nevea." He cursed. He, for once, didn't like to play with her like this. Knowing someone out there was hunting for her life didn't sit well with him. He wanted to be her shield and ensure that her soul stayed together with him for as long as h
Nevea had decided for Vuyshire, her birth city, to be her final destination. She had been on the road since last night, moving from one city to another. Luck seemed to be on her side since the driver never once checked on the truck's backside, making her journey smooth. Nevea only jumped from the truck when it finally passed the gate of Vuyshire. Before the incident with Max and Bryan, she had already used the phone from another visitor in the hotel to rent a place in Vuyshire. Not only that, but she also had withdrawn a large sum of money that would help her survive for a whole month. As for now, she was pretty much prepared to stay hiding in her new place until the situation deemed she could flaunt her face. Nevea then walked to her new place in haste. She pulled the zipper of her hoodie until it almost covered half of her face, making sure that none of the local people could see her. By now, Zach and Vlassta might have started their hunt. She believed they had already spread her
Hanna Banks. How could Nevea forget that woman’s name? She had engraved it on her mind far since she was a kid. Her memory might be blurry on her face, but the name was enough to bring all the memories back.Just as she said, Hanna was a devil incarnation in her eyes. Nevea recalled how Hanna used to taunt her for being an orphan, calling her names because of her odd silver hair. At first, the young her thought it was nothing since kids were always making fun of each other. But Hanna didn’t stop with verbal abuse. That despicable kid took a drastic turn to haunt her and hurt her physically. Nevea, like a fool, accepted all the pain from Hanna. She didn’t even try to defend herself because she believed she had to be the wise one between them. She was taught to be a docile and kind child. So she did. However, her action backfired. It only drove Hanna to the edge.She remembered how Hanna started spreading rumors about her being cursed after the death of her first family. At first, the r
Nevea wasn't given a chance to comprehend the situation because Kiara had already dragged her away. She tried to break free, but to her surprise, Kiara was stronger than she thought. Kiara pulled her away from the main street to the small alley that Nevea was familiar. As they walked further, Nevea's brows furrowed because she could picture that Kiara somehow wanted to bring her to her first house after she got adopted. "What are you doing, Kiara?" Nevea's voice was firm and almost sounded angry, but Kiara completely ignored her and kept strolling. "Tell me before I decide to hurt you." She threatened, but it fell deaf to Kiara. Nevea then opted to attack one of Kiara's legs, but before she could do it, they came to a halt in front of a minimal-sized house with a brown fence. A long time ago, the house was hers. It was the place she got love and care from her foster family before death took them away from her. Nevea yanked her hands free from Kiara and glared at that woman with a
“This is your punishment. You will never be forgiven unless you got his blood on your hands.” An old man said to her. Nevea was sure she never saw that man, but he spoke to her like he was her master. She wondered whose blood that man talked about. She had the idea that it might be Zach’s. But why would she need his blood?“You know very well that desire is forbidden, but you lust for a demon. And worse, you chose Zach.”Nevea’s breath hitched. She wanted to curse. What the hell was happening, and how could Zach be a demon? The demon was only a myth; they didn’t exist. “He has tainted your soul, and nothing except killing him would help to wash your sin.” “What sin are you talking about?” Nevea bellowed, but the old man didn’t hear her. Instead, he kept talking to the unconscious her. “We are sending you to earth, Nevea. He will come for you, trying to lure you again, but you shall kill him; that’s your only purpose on earth. You only have two chances. If you fail, you will have no
“I am your kin, Nevea. A fairy.”Nevea muffled her laugh. This had to be the wildest day she had ever had. Everything that happened was just too ridiculous that she couldn’t help but feel that it was a mere figment of her imagination.“Fairy, you say. I must admit you have colorful imagination, Kiara.” Nevea barely bothered to hide her dislike. “First, you show me countless images with a different scene from what I remember; then you let me see a scene where I was punished for something silly. Lusting, that too for a demon. A creature we only know from myth.”“You manipulated yourself into believing you live with a harmonious family and also forget despicable things you’ve ever done. I merely helped you to see without something clogging your views.” Kiara defended herself. “And a demon. If vampires, a creature that used to be a myth, could walk freely. What makes you think demon couldn’t?”“You are manipulating me.” “Stop it. Deep down in your heart, I know you realize that everything
