Her mother’s voice roared so loud inside the house it made her flinch in terror. She was not the type to yell for she value basic ettiquetes for women so much. It was the first time in fifteen years Harper heard her mother raising her voice that high. She was enraged, literally.“I have been putting up with your bottles and jars with insects for a long time but did I threw them away?! Did I interrupt with your sessions at the forest to dig some insects even when I want to?! I did not do those things Harper and gave you freedom but this is what you repay to me?! Did I raise you to hurt others?! Do you plan on killing them?! What, do you now aspire to be a murderer?! Harper, I had enough troubles and you just had to add fuel to the fire!” Her mother burst in anger.Harper is used to her mother’s words and usual complaints. But not this one. Not this time. She saw how pain glimmered through her mother’s weary and tired eyes.
"No, not like that!" I heaved a sigh for the nth time, staring with a deathly glare towards Kieve. For the 13th time, failed. "Harper my hand is hurting. Can we do this next time?" He was looking at me like he was in great pain I almost believe him. Wow, look at the puppy eyes he is making. I would never have thought I would see him acting like this. "No, you can't fool me. You have to master this today." "Why should I? We can just get some delivery foods. It is faster and less hassl-" He shut his mouth tight when I slowly turned my head at him with an intent glare. Plus, I was holding a knife in my hand. "Yes, ma'am. I would definitely master this today."
My first dream was to become a hero, helping those in need, saving the day. But after realizing it can never come true, I felt lost. "Wait, wait for me!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I kept banging the side of the moving bus. Mother of cow! I'm going to be late for my 24th interview! I sighed in relief as the bus finally stopped. I quickly hopped off and I thought my hardships will end there but I'm wrong. The bus is too crowded and it was hard to keep standing. The moment I turned to the left, I quickly turned my head to the right side and stopped myself from vomiting. Someone didn't use deodorant! I regret frowning my face and looking like a Shrek when I opened my eyes. A handsome face was looking straight at me, amused by my reaction. I quickly move my head from the left out of embarrassment, but then the troubling smell welcomed me again. In the end, I kept my face straight in front of me, staring right at
I died.But then again maybe I didn't.My eyes sprung shot and I quickly gasped for air. It was like I was pulled from the deep ocean, lacked oxygen for years, and now breathing heavily to inhale the fresh air.However, I was left dumbfounded when I found myself in the middle of a masquerade ball. I looked down and frowned when I saw myself wearing a long flowing red dress, matching my crimson mask. My gown has beads of jewelry everywhere, sparkling along with the big chandelier above. It was magical.Wait, is this a dream?!"The last time I checked, I am dead." I mumbled, confusion written all over my face."Ehem," I
You betrayed me, And I know that you'll never feel sorry For the way I hur- "What is it this time?" I grunted as I scratched my messed-up hair. I was lying in my bed when this annoying guy called me for the 42nd time. I looked at the time on my screen and almost cursed when I saw 2:24 am. "What is wrong with you, Laurent?!" I shouted with a hint of irritation. I went out of bed and got myself a glass of water. Great, now I can't sleep. I'm wide awake thanks to this guy. "Ugh, I'm just checking if you're hiding your powers well and I want to say that I am really sorry. I did that because guardians don't have a heart. Sometimes, we're real
“So what happened?”I sighed dejectedly. “I wanted to call you!”Laurent crossed his arms, his eyes furrowed. His jaw was tensed and I’m pretty sure he’s trying to control his anger “And why you didn’t?!”“I left my phone okay?! It’s because you keep calling me every single time!”“Harper you...!” Laurent grunted and turned his back on me, grabbing his hair tightly. I can’t help but feel guilty. He looks so concerned,but it made me a little happy.At least now, someone cares.He went straight into my apartment the moment I didn’t answer his calls. I bit my lower lip as I stared in my phone. 103 missed calls.“I’m sorry.” I whispered, making him stare at me as I sat on the side of my bed. It felt like I was a kid getting reprimanded by my mother.I feel bad but at the same time, it feel
Mother of cow, I am so screwed. With hurried steps, I quickly went into the ladies comfort room. I sighed out of relief as soon as I saw it was empty. My hands were dead cold as I locked the cubicle I was in. Breathing heavily, I quickly dialed Laurent's number with my trembling hands. "Oh, please pick up!" I desperately whispered, panic started to eat my system. It's been three weeks since I was hired by the Lake Company. And it never had crossed in my mind that I would be stepping inside a dangerous lair. I am trapped. /// Fifteen minutes ago "Good morning!" I greeted as usual as I make my way towards my desk. And as usual, my coworkers either ignored me or stared lazily at me. I frowned and just shrug it off as I plopped down my chair. I saw one of my seniors bringing a load of paper works as he struggles to walk. Since I have nothing much to do, I quickly stood up and help him carry other stuff. I grabbed some of his things voluntarily and he didn't even bother to look a
I quickly dashed towards the elevator with nothing but my phone and my trembling legs. I pushed the elevator's button over and over but it was so slow!I have no choice!I hurriedly sprinted towards the emergency exit and to my dismay, hundreds of stairs await me."Oh, mother of cow..."I wasted no time and ran downstairs, my legs were about to give up so I sat on the rail and made my butt slide swiftly."This is so much faster!" I chuckled nervously, wishing desperately not to fall off. I did that again and again until I reached the first floor. My butt hurt so much it felt like burning.Holding onto my bottom, I went out of the exit but I drew a sharp breath when I saw what awaits me behind the white door.Hundreds of employers were waiting. Their intense glares made me gulped nervously as I took a step forward carefully.They weren't kidding any more. Their sharp long claws were exposed as well as their fangs a
