The next day, as early as before sunrise, I started trekking heading to the village. I could barely sleep last night after Karen said something about my proposal. Karen was still snoring when I got out of her unit. I did not wake her up because similar to me, she also slept very late. Nonetheless, I already prepared on the table a cup of coffee, scrambled eggs, a cup of rice, and three large sizes sausages for her breakfast. I also left a note on the table that I cannot join her in heading to school after what happened last night. Both of us deserved to have a lone time to better think things through. "What are you doing as early as six in the morning, huh, Melvin?" Jelian greeted me with a smile on her face. Julian and Jelian are getting ready for school. After almost a month of staying at the village, Julian stayed away from me to avoid getting into conflicts. His twin sister, on the other hand, did the other way around. Jelian was still hopeful that our

Jared pushed the door open; the dress was still there, hanging eerily in the closet. Suddenly, the room started to groan, and the door slammed shut behind us. There was a chill in the air, and I could hear footsteps approaching us. It was then that we saw her—a ghostly figure who looked like the woman in the wedding dress that Francisco had seen earlier. She hovered towards us, and everyone felt a shiver down their spine. "What are you all doing here?" the apparition said. As everyone was getting terribly scared, I dared pointed the rays of my flashlight heading to the woman's face. She immediately blocked the rays of the light with her bare hands. Even so, I managed to see her face. She was the old woman who gave us the keys earlier. "You students are bitches." she uttered a profanity. "Get back to your respective rooms before I'm gonna charge you all with trespassing and noise complaints." The group ran out of the room as fast as they could. The adrena

However, before the fire could swallow Melvin's body, I jumped as high as I can be and pushed him as far away from the fire. As far as I know, werewolves are scared of fire. After pushing Melvin out of the fire, I immediately took off my burning clothes until nothing was left but my boxer shorts. Then, I hold Melvin's head and pointed his eyes to the fire as it explodes Two seconds later, Melvin growled that almost break my eardrums. When he realized the towering fire in front of us, he lifted my body and throws me away in Karen's spot. He looked for something in the bus and went back with bottles of water and poured them into the fire before it could swallow everything nearby. From the way I understand it, it was no longer the "sleepwalking Melvin" who reacted that way. I am now seeing the real Melvin, my best friend. "Are you guys all right?" Melvin asked from the other side of the fire. I was about to raise my thumb but was cut off when I suddenly felt e

"Both, I guess." Simon heaved a sigh. Our dilemma started to burst when Coach Green took the first few applicants through their paces on the field. The vampire students moved with lightning-fast speed and agility, dodging and weaving past their opponents with ease. The sound of growling and snarling was unmistakable as Simon and I watched from the sidelines. We continued watching in amazement as the vampire students continued to dominate the field. We watched as one of the vampire students tackled the ball carrier with incredible force, sending him flying across the field. It was at that moment that I realized that these vampires weren't anything like they had ever seen before. It was then that Coach Green noticed us observing the tryouts from the sidelines. He called our names and ordered us to join in the tryouts. "You boys think you can do better? Prove it!" he shouted. "Maybe I should back out now." Jackson chickened out. "I mean, I can graduate without t

The next morning, the vampire woke up and found himself locked up in a cell, surrounded by the werewolf pack behind me. I stepped forward and began the interrogation as planned. Our one-on-one conversation started when I asked the vampire who their leader was, what they were doing in the city, what their purpose was, and if he knew about the vampire students in school. The vampire, who was still groggy from being locked up, tried his best to avoid my questions. He was a cunning and manipulative creature and had been trained to withstand any interrogation attempts. But my wolf wasn't going to give up that easily. I kept questioning the vampire, probing him further and further until finally, the vampire relented. "I will tell you what you want to know, but I need reassurance that you will let me go," said the vampire, his voice raspy and hoarse. "Nice try, but that's not going to happen. You're going to answer my questions or face the consequences." my wolf could not help but scoff
