As the figure took a step towards me, I could see the glint of a knife in his hand. My heart raced, but I stayed where I was, trying to hide my fear. "Who are you?" I spat, keeping my voice strong.But the intruder only laughed, his eyes filled with malice. "You cannot escape your fate, Luna. You are marked for death," he said as he walked toward me."Luna, please, you need to get out of here", Nick begged me."I'm not leaving you, Nick" I replied, my voice trembling slightly.The man chuckled darkly, his eyes glowing with a sinister light. "You're just a weak little Mongrel breed that should have never been born.""Luna, please", Nick begged once more. but before I could answer him, the man lunged at us; I summoned my powers, creating a force field around us. the man hit it, and electricity sent him flying back, but that didn't stop him. He rose to his feet and started chanting in an ancient language I'd never heard before.I could feel the power of his words reverberating through m
The tension in the room slowly began to disappear as Brax took a deep breath and stepped back, his anger fading slightly. Lucian straightened up, giving me a nod of gratitude before turning his attention back to Brax."We need to focus on finding out who that man was and why he targeted Luna," Lucian said, his voice calm and composed.Brax nodded, still eyeing Lucian warily.I could feel the weight of their words sinking in as I leaned against the wall, my body still trembling from exerting so much energy. I closed my eyes for a second, trying to pull myself together, but the longer I stood there, the weaker I felt. pushing myself off the wall using one hand to hold me there, I cleared my throat, making everyone turn to look at me. "I'm really tired. I'm going to go to bed." I tried to let go of the wall to go to bed, but as I did, my legs became weak. Before I could hit the ground, both Brax and Lucian rushed to my side, stopping me from falling."Are you okay, Luna?" Brax asked, co
The whispers in my head continued, taunting me with their cryptic messages. Brax tried his best to keep calm. Something dark was coming for me; I could feel it deep within me. I felt a sudden surge of energy coursing through me. The room around me began to blur and warp as if reality itself was bending to accommodate some unseen force. And then, without warning, a voice spoke directly into my mind."Luna," it whispered, sending shivers down my spine. "You cannot escape your destiny."I gasped, clutching onto Brax for dear life as the voice echoed through my very being. The others looked at me with concern etched on their faces, but they couldn't hear what I was hearing. It was a message meant only for me."What do you want from me?" I cried out, desperation lacing my words. But the voice remained silent. Brax tightened his grip on me, trying to shield me from whatever unseen force was threatening me. The voices grew louder as if they were trying to break through some barrier within
"Blaire, get up or you will be late for work," my mother yells at me from downstairs.I let out a frustrated groan; I just want to sleep. For some reason, I have been exhausted for the past few weeks. When I think about it, it has been since my 18th birthday. Maybe I partied too hard and my body can not take it. "I am up," I yell back, dragging my tired body out of bed and into the bathroom. Standing in front of the mirror, my long black hair is out of control, as if I went ten rounds with my pillow last night. I had another strange dream last night where this lady tells me to run from the monster chasing me. I keep running as this thing with blood-red eyes chases me. I always wake up right as it gets to me. I'm always covered in sweat, and my body shakes when I wake up. I do not understand what it means.Getting myself ready for work, I hope that today will be a slow day at the dinner. I don't want to run around waiting on people's needs. I want a nice cruisey day with maybe one or t
I hid in my room for the rest of the day. The voices had stopped, but my head was still pounding. I thought about telling my mum and dad about what happened, but I didn't want to worry them or for them to believe that their daughter was going crazy. Blue stayed with me the whole time, watching over me like he was waiting for something to happen. I laid in bed, finally drifting off to sleep when I woke up. I looked around the room. Everything was dark. I looked at the time. I'd been asleep all day and half the night. I didn't feel the normal heaving feeling at the end of my bed where Blue slept, so I got up and looked for him. It isn't like him to go anywhere without me. Creeping through the house, all the lights were out. I made my way to the back door. I thought that's where he'd be outside doing his business. As I got to the door, voices started to come into my head. "not again," I muttered to myself.Opening the door, I saw Blue sitting near the back fence. It looked like he was l
I did as he asked, but instead of going inside and getting changed, I went into the bathroom to try and wash away the dirty feeling that Dave had left on me. Sitting in the bottom of the shower, I tried to wrap my head around things. How did that guy know that I was in trouble? I never screamed or anything, so how did he know? And what did he mean when I asked him if he killed him? I made a mental note to ask him if I ever saw him again. After a shower, I went back to bed, not to sleep but to pretend I had never left. Blue stayed close the whole time. I could tell that he was hurting from where Dave had kicked him. I had a few bruises on me from how hard Dave had pushed me down onto the table. I ensured that the clothes I put on would cover them so no one saw them and would ask how I got them. After about an hour I got up going downstairs to see if anyone was up. In the kitchen, Mum, Dad, and my brother jack were all sitting around the table eating breakfast. "oh honey, I thought y
The past week, nothing exciting has happened. I haven't had to work since the diner is now a crime scene until they find who killed him. I've gone back to the station to answer questions. I never let on that I knew who killed him or what he tried to do to me. They questioned everyone else who worked there, too, so I knew that it wasn't anything against me, and they didn't know that I had been there. One pluss about all this is that I got to sleep in a lot, so I'm not as tired as I was before.The voices still come and go, and I swear people are talking to me when they are not. Mum and Dad are starting to get worried about me, always asking what they said when they haven't spoken, but they never say why they are worried. It's probably because they think their daughter is going crazy.I haven't seen Brax again, but I've dreamed about him, and some of the dreams I have are wildly inappropriate to be having about a man I don't know. I always wake up hot and sweaty, feeling embarrassed abo
I feel like I'm losing control. My whole body is shaking. Everyone's yelling and saying things that don't make any sense."You marked her!" Jack screams at Brax, moving closer to him, never once taking the gun off him."Oh god, my" mother cries."SHUT UP!!" I scream at the top of my lungs, my hands covering my ears, but it's doing nothing. Everything is still so loud the house starts shaking, breaking around us, and car alarms going off outside. I keep repeating shut up over and over again, just wanting it all to stop."Let me in unless you want her to draw every monster in the world right here or worse, blow us all up" " Brax yells through all the other sounds.My dad steps closer to Brax, not sure what to do..."Don't you dare, dad""What else am I meant to do? She'll kill us all."I can feel Brax's frustration and worry pulsating throughout my body, only making me panic more because I know they are not my feelings, and I can't understand why I am feeling his. "LET ME IN!" he yells.
