I opened my mouth to speak but was thankfully interrupted by Jason walking into the room. I let out a silent sigh of relief as their attention turned to him instead. I flushed slightly as the events of the evening played in my head like a film, especially with his brothers sitting so close to me. I knew Jason wouldn't give two shots about what they thought, it was still embarrassing all the same. Secretly, I wondered when the three of us would finally do the deed together with me. I looked up with a slight smile, turning to him. When I saw that his expression was once again set in his usual disinterested one. Appearing like he was angry with the whole world. My smile dropped and got replaced with a frown, wondering what went wrong this time."What the fuck do you think you're doing? How can you be watching a fucking movie right now?!" He gritted out angrily. I looked up at him again, confused by his sudden change of expression. Was this the man who opened up to me this evening? H
I saw red. This fucking asshole! I had completely forgotten that the battle is tonight!He had acted like everything was alright, sending me false illusions like there isn't a looming war over our neck later on today. They all did.The fact that he didn't even seem in the least bit remorseful about it triggered me a lot. There was going to be a bloodbath in a few hours from now and he didn't even deem it fit to inform me before he fuck me? My magical energy has improved a lot this past week and my mana reserve was practically overflowing with waves from my body. I knew they could feel it. Still, he didn't feel the need to tell me about the war!Shit, all week I've been practicing mediocre spells in order to boost my energy, thinking I had enough time to prepare for the war, for fucks sake!"You!" I ground my teeth, stomping over to Jason and jabbing an accusing finger to his chest. "Why did you keep this from me? You have all the time in the world today, yet you kept it from me! Why
Tears ran down my face as I ran into the woods. I angrily wiped my face, willing myself to stop crying, but my emotions were sent into a frenzy that I was unable to control. As much as I didn't want to let myself cry this much, I really didn't. It's just that Jason's words hit so close to home, my past memories flooding my mind at will. He triggered the darkest part of my soul that I wanted to keep locked down. With my newly developed powers, I had discovered a small sense of happiness, wallowing in it, doing everything and anything to keep it from going back into that dormant state again. Yet, no matter how I tried to do my best, no matter what I did, I wasn't needed.I was useless, just a waste of space, wielding unnecessary powers. And that hurt. I had voices in me, telling me that and hearing Jason confirm it...it just broke me.Panting hard, I stopped. Crumbling onto the ground and sobbing hard. I gripped the grass underneath me, drawing out the energy, and with a loud scream, I
Instead of going back to the mansion or going far away from the battle, I had a determined look on my face as I ran towards the battlefield in a flurry, the cacophony of noises bleeding through her ears."Get back!" I screamed out into the ash filled air. Gilda, looked over to the noise, making out the form of my form as I was currently crouching onto the floor, my fingers digging into the dirt. "Cassandra?" Gilda frowned, lowering her defenses and a Vampire took that as a cue to attack her. Gilda caught on immediately with her fast reflexes, holding him off with her claw as the vampire screeched at her. Using her core strength, she pushed him back and reached into her back pocket, grabbing a stake and plunged into it, watching as the screeching vampire turned to dust."Cassandra! What are you—" she was silenced by a warning yell from me. "Don't come any closer! Tell the Lycans to move away from me, just trust me!" I yelled, trying to keep a handle on the power that was trying to es
The battle was fierce, and the field around us was decorated with blood, sweat, and fire.I kept the rain of fire, pouring down onto the Vampires, never letting up for one bit. I controlled the battle now and I needed them to realize that. The other vampires snapped out of their stupor, proceeding to charge at me and the other Lycans. I made sure to keep my distance from them, not wanting to accidentally hurt any Lycan. I wanted to pour out my rage and energy on the people who actually deserve it.I honestly felt in my element here. I've never fought in a war before, due to my lack of powers. Right now, I felt like I was on top of the world. I drew energy from nature, drawing and releasing it and then coming back to me again.It was a freeing sensation like I was one with nature. And there was no limit to my powers which made it all the more liberating.I've never felt so powerful in my life, with so much energy coming from the battleground where I could tap out from. I really hope
“JAKE!” I screamed, rushing towards the limp body that lay on the ground.I ran across the field, stumbling multiple times over the heap of Lycans and Vampire bodies that were yet to disintegrate. My heart thumped rapidly in my chest.If something happens to him, I won't be able to forgive myself.The expression on his face before he slumped replayed in my head multiple times. It was full of hurt, confusion, and fear...it was terrifying. Memories flashed through my mind. Jake's dazzling smile whenever he brings me a spell book, the way his face lights up whenever he talks about books and poems...I can't… I can't let anything happen to him.I have to figure out a spell that would help him, anything!If he dies, I don't know what I would do.The moment I drew nearer to him, I felt a hand pull me into the darkness with a tug. I let out a yelp, struggling to get released, but the person's vice grip was extremely strong and hard to break through. I squinted through the dark, barely maki
“Ever since you came, you've caused nothing but trouble and havoc! Look what you did now! Because of your carelessness and stupidity, Jake has to suffer for them! If only you had just done what I told you and stayed put, doing nothing, we wouldn't have been in this position in the first place! You've proved yourself to be even more worthless than you were before!" My blood boiled on hearing those words spill out of Jason's lips. I glared at him, matching the same intensity as him, making sure he could feel every ounce of hatred and irritation I felt for him.Jake meant a lot to me too! Doesn't he know the guilt was eating me up alive?! Before I could speak, Jared spoke up.“Don't say that, Jason! That's a lie and you know it! Yes, she made a mistake and misfired. Accidents happen and people make mistakes. It's natural, for fucks sake! Jake means a lot to us, and I know how you feel, but now is not the time to start arguing over pointless things and focus on the present. Jake is in cr
Screw Jason. He can't tell me what to do. I want to help and use my energy in something I could perform well in. Improving Jake's health status would really make me feel happy and my guilt would be lessened significantly. I also didn't want to see him in pain and I'm feeling so horrible.He has been nothing but nice and supportive to me ever since we bonded, and I need to repay him back in any way I could.Tiptoeing past their suite, I snuck into the little healing room Jake was placed in. Opening the door, I saw him lying down with his eyes still closed. No signs of waking, even with the hours spent with the best professional healers in the territory.I tapped on the healer in the center of the room, giving him a small smile as I clenched my palms together, pleading. “Can I try my hand in healing him too? I've got some spells up my sleeves that I think would really work and help him to wake up, but I'll need some space and alone time with him," the man looked confused and wary of me
