I knew Athena was hurt because of me, but not as much as I felt, like being stabbed in the chest a thousand times.When lunch came, I left campus for a while. I need to be somewhere alone, at my parents' graves.I took a taxi and gave him directions. Not long after, arriving at the entrance, I paid the driver and got off the bus. My parents' burial site is breathtaking. I envy them and their resting place because not far from where they are buried, there is a sea ahead.The cold breeze blowing from the sea in front of me embraced me like a hug, it didn't feel strange but rather found the whole situation relaxing.I cleaned their graves of the overhanging grass growing on their headstones. Wipe dirt off the inscription. "Hello mom, dad". I smiled with a heavy heart before letting out a shaky breath.Staring at the ground for a while

Sally's POVOne thing love has taught me during these 48 hours is that it can completely change someone.------------------I didn't bother packing any of my belongings, except for a few clothes. I said that I wanted to leave behind everything I had in this place and this country so that I could move forward without hesitation.Before leaving for the airport at noon, I stopped by the university to fill out a release form at the administrative office. They were shocked to see me leave suddenly without notice, especially since graduation was less than a week away, but then again they didn't need to know why or what made me leave. learn.I was feeling a little bad for letting go of all of this because I worked so hard for it. When the process was complete and I was officially no longer a student at this university, I left feeling clearer-minded.As I exited the building, halfway up the stairs, my steps stopped when I met Ryan and Kaytlyn walking side by side. I glanced at them with a dis

Sally's POV"Drop it or die," I warned, silently panting. He heeded the warning and let his twin blades clang against the floor, his hands raised to either side of his head, admitting he had lost.The place seemed tense and quiet until I heard Jolie's voice coming from my left. "Sally. That was intense."The woman stood up, raising her arms before folding them back down. "You are my Queen." She teased.When I took the sword away from him, I immediately noticed a look of fear mixed with respect in the eyes of each of my relatives. It's nice to prove to them that I'm not so different from people like them."This ends our match for today." My grandfather said, dismissing everyone. Arnav is no longer seen anywhere. I must have bruised his ego too much for my liking. Well, suck it up or go cry to mom.----------------------A few months later, my grandfather arranged a large family meeting where everyone belonging to or working under the Donne family should be present and gathered around.

Sally's POVMy grandfather sighed. "That's right. He died before they could complete the mating process.""Who are we talking about?" I asked again.The old man sighed again. "My younger brother.""Okay. But why is Raven the mascot of our family?""Remember when your Southern grandparents came to visit and blurted out that you had hunter blood in you?" My grandmother asked, I nodded."What your great-grandfather didn't know was that while he killed all those supernatural beings, he was a supernatural being just like the creatures he killed."Suddenly, my head throbbed.

What little brother are you talking about?"They glanced at each other before dropping another bomb on me. "The Donnes are not just a normal typical Donne family, but we are also a creature, we are called crows."Suddenly, I held my index finger between us, stopping them from continuing. Okay,

Sally's POVJust as I was a foot away, I was pulled back with force. It was as if an invisible string or giant rubber band was tied around my waist so that a group of people pulled me backward like a slingshot.The pull woke me gasping for air, with my lungs screaming for air, and my throat dry as if I'd been left in the desert for a long time. Sitting up straight, I ran my hands down my face and pushed my hair away from my sweaty face and neck.It was still dark outside, but checking the time on my phone, it was 5 am. There was no way I could go back to sleep after what happened, nor could I wake up and go for a run.Pushing the blanket aside, I grabbed the hoodie from the edge of the bed and wore it over a tank top, finally putting on my running shoes.I went to the bathroom to wash my face before going downstairs to get a glass of water and finally starting my run.I don't know how I survived all the dreams I had.
