I was running fast in the dark and dense forest. I didn't care about the plant's branches slamming into my arms and legs. All I wanted was to go to school and see my loved ones. A year has passed since my blunder almost brought the world to an end. Even now, I am battling and striving to live to rebuild my mistake. This time, I'll succeed in breaking through the barrier! A year apart is just too long! " Seeing the sign I made a year ago, I uttered and came to a halt. I took a deep breath and raised my hand to begin the chant. It's a damn shame! As the barrier flared up but didn't shatter, I yelled. I became enraged and hit the trunk, which promptly collapsed due to the strike's power. Do I have to give up my life simply to acquire enough power? I pondered as I sat on the trunk and closed my eyes. I swore to the guy I love that I would not sacrifice my humanity to obtain power, but it seems that I will be unable to honor my vows since I have no other option. At long last, Claire Anderson, I found you! "Hello, Xia!"I exclaim as I rise to my feet. "How did you come across me?" "You're my closest friend, so I know what's on your mind and heart," Xia said with a smile. "You are not my closest friend; you are a devil-like parasite that refuses to let go of my pal!" I screamed. I continue to avoid Xia because I don't want to injure her body, but the devil is relentless in pursuing me. "I'm sorry, Claire, but Xia has already accepted me!" We've merged into one body, and it's now mine. "Even her spirit has already deserted me," My hands were clenched. I have no way of knowing whether the person I'm speaking with is telling the truth, so deciding whether to fight or flee is tough. Don't think about running because you can't get away from us! Xia declares as she glances to the left side of the jungle. When I watched the vampires emerge one by one, I cringed. Vampires can't beat me, you know! You, too, are powerless in the face of my might. Because I care for Xia's body, you're still alive! " While smiling, I say and unleash my claws. "That is correct; we cannot overcome you, but he can," Xia smiled and turned to face the barrier. The barrier that I've been trying to shatter for a long time is gradually dissolving. "Ian Gabriel... When I saw the guy approaching, I muttered I took a step closer to the guy I loved, but my excitement was quickly replaced by uncertainty when I saw that his eyes were black. "No... not you, either!" This isn't happening, "I murmured, hoping my suspicions were correct. I'm sure you know Ian Gabriel, but I'm sorry to say that the guy you love has disappeared! " Please welcome our Lord Hades! " Xia introduced herself as she moved closer to Ian Gabriel. "No, you're lying!" Ian is a strong man who will not be beaten by the devil! I declare "But I've already done it!" So, if I were you, I'd give up so you could be with Ian Gabriel and the others you care about. " Hearing Ian's voice complemented by a foreign voice left me stunned. "Claire, don't fight back; instead, join me, and I promise you'll enjoy the improvements I'll bring to this earth," Hades said. "Never! If murdering each and every one of you is the only way for me to reclaim Ian Gabriel and the others, then I will! " I said. I braced myself for a battle. I shall fight Xia and the other vampires with the might of my wolf and the power of a witch. But I'm not sure about Ian Gabriel-he's the reincarnation of the God of Magic. "You'll regret battling me!" Hades exclaims. In a split second, the vampires had encircled me, their fangs and claws clearly apparent. "Your followers have no influence over me!" I shouted and waved my hand as my eyes became a brilliant white. All of the vampires that were surrounding me flew away. Rather than being terrified, Hades and Xia laughed. "Go ahead, murder them!" "You will aid me in capturing their souls and make me much more robust!" Hades chuckles. "That won't happen!" With a flick of my finger, the vampires fled into the trees. Brilliant! " "The title fits you very well-the princess of all races," Hades commended her as he began to approach her. "My Lord, you don't have to battle her; my power is sufficient to overcome that scumbag!" Xia murmured. Hades waves his hand, and Xia's voice vanishes in an instant. "Are we there yet? As I already said, your name is appropriate for you. But there's something lacking... What a vampire! That's correct! You're still alive! " Hades declared. Hearing his thoughts, I take a step back... Let's finish your title. Perhaps if you become a vampire, you will be able to defeat the other demon lords that wander the planet as well as me. " "Never! I don't need your advice! "I am capable of defeating all demon lords!" I replied, but we both knew I was lying. Claire Anderson: The guy you love is no longer with you, and if you want him back, you must sacrifice yourself. "Never! I declined. "All vampires go to hell, and I don't want that to happen!" Did you forget you were a witch? You can go back in time! " Hearing Hade's words, I came to a halt. "I'm sorry, but you can't reverse what occurred last year," she says. Hades didn't like the scowl on my face, so he disappeared into his stand, and Hades reappeared in front of me, strangling me with his right hand. "Goodbye, human world!" "Welcome to the land of the undead!" Hades' hand has gone into my chest, and I don't have time to respond. (Reminiscences of the past flood my head...) Then there was darkness.

NASHVILLE (Two Years Ago) I am Jaymie Claire Anderson, an ordinary girl with an average family. "Claire, are you done? Get down here; you're going to be late! " "I'm coming!" I answered the calls from my mother, Helene. Carrying my school bag, I walked to the kitchen and immediately sat down in front of the table with breakfast ready for me. "Wow, mom, you prepared my favorite!" I commented, seeing the apple pie in my mother's hand. My mother answered me with a broad smile. "Mom, for my birthday, can we go to the Lake for a picnic? I requested and sliced the hot pie. "Sure, I will arrange for the caretaker at the flower shop on your birthday." "Thanks, mom! I'll tell Jessica Xia so she can't do another idea," I say it and start my hearty meal while not losing the smile on my face. Later, I will buy ingredients for the food, so call me if you have a request. I nodded at my mother, who was ready to go to the flower shop. "Be careful on the street," I reminded her. When my mother disappeared from my sight, I hurriedly finished my breakfast. ----------------------- "What a beautiful day," I whispered, inhaling the fresh morning air. I took the headset out of my bag and put it on before riding my bike. "Morning Claire, Your birthday is approaching, " I smile at our neighbor, who is busy watering her garden. I was close to the school when I saw a cat on the road while a car was driving nearby. "Damn it! " I exclaimed and pedaled my bike faster. "Drivers don't stop for animals, but I'm sure they will look for humans," I murmured, and in a wink, I stopped in the middle of the street and waited to be struck while my eyes were closed. The deafening roar of the car soared into the quiet morning... "I'm still alive." I sighed in relief and slowly opened my eyes. "Hey, do you want to commit suicide? " The driver of the car exclaimed. Only then did I look up to see the driver already out of the car and walking towards me. "I-I'm sorry," I stuttered because the man in front of me was stunning. His blue eyes are mesmerizing, while his red-thin lips are captivating. '' What are you thinking?'' The man seemed to have read my mind as his mischievous smile appeared. I was devastated when the man approached me and bent down to align his face with mine. "Miss, you don't need to do a dangerous stun just to get noticed. Your beauty is enough to get my attention, "' ''Huh?'' I couldn't straighten my thoughts when the guy touched my chin and gently rubbed my lips with his thumb. "You 'are different. I can sense strong energy in you." "What?!" The attraction I felt for the man quickly disappeared. I looked at him with regret, "What a waste... you are handsome but insane," I whispered and removed his hands from my chin. The handsome man leaned over when I started pedaling, but his amazed expression stayed with me. "Weirdo," he says. I murmured and hurriedly left the area. I reached the school in a few minutes. I hurriedly slammed my bike and started to walk in giant steps down the pathway to the building. Jaymie Claire! Faster, the bell rang! "I look at my friend Xia, waving at me. My massive steps led to a brisk pace while I was blaming the crazy man in my mind. "Come on, hurry up!"As I approached, Xia didn't give me a chance to rest and hurriedly pulled me into our classroom because our terror professor, Mrs. Carol Villar, was already walking in the hallway. I wouldn't have been late if I hadn't encountered a crazy man, "I said to Xia as we altered our chair at the end of the classroom. Blaming a mad man won't help you. You need to learn how to use a clock! "Xia replied while smiling. I frowned, but I couldn't contradict Xia because she had told the truth. I'm not looking at the clock, so I'm often late for school. "Good morning, class! " I stopped talking to Xia when the professor entered the classroom without a smile on her face. Even other students did not attempt to create noise for fear of being thrown out by the lesson plan held by Mrs. Villar. "Open your book on page one hundred and two," The two-hour lesson in the hands of Prof. Carol Villar started, and I still couldn't escape her sharp eye. "Ms. Anderson! Where is your brain flying? I'm just asking you to read one paragraph!"' I cringed in embarrassment. "Since you're engrossed in the environment because that's where you're always gazing. I'm giving you a task! I want you to research the history of our town, and I want you to finish that before the weekend! " "But ma'am, It isI can't continue to give my reasons. Because I am sure my teacher will tell me that she dont care. When the class ended, Xia approached me and comforted me. "Don't worry. I will help you so that you can finish the assignment given by Prof. Terror," Xia utters and rubs my back. "Many thanks...You are my only hope! Did you know that Mom is already preparing recipes that she will cook for my birthday? And she agreed to have a picnic by the Lake! " '" Lake? Do you mean the Mystic Lake that is said to be mysterious? "Yes, Mom finally agreed." Maybe because I'm turning eighteen, "I replied, snickering. "Then, we need to make sure that your birthday celebration continues!" Xia decided and stood up. "Where are we going? "I asked when Xia told me to stand. Let's find the janitor, Mr. Conor. He knows the history of our town, "' My face lit up, and I quickly grabbed my bag. Together with Xia, we looked for Mr. Conor, but instead of the janitor, what caught my eye was the mad man. "It's him!" I exclaimed.

"What's with that book," I whispered as I sucked the blood from my injured finger because of the book. "Ms. Anderson, it looks like your friend went home first," "I let her leave first because I still need to check some books in the library," I answered Mr. Conor and continued my walk. "Is that so? Anyway, I told you earlier ... I missed telling you one thing," Conor says while walking along. Do you mean the prophecy? Is there anything else? "Glimmering, I inquire. Although I don't believe in witches and prognosis, I'm still curious about it. "The chosen one is already born, and darkness will also arise with the awakening of power," Conor states. "Wooh, wait! Mr. Conor, I'm happy for your help, but the thing is-I dont believe in a prophecy or witches. So, please dont tell me that the world will end," I state and get on my bike. "Ha Ha Ha, in no time you'll come to me and ask about the prophecy," Conor declared, smirking while waving. "I didn't know Mr. Conor loved to joke," I shook my head as I peddled my bike faster. ---------------------- The black fog was slowly flying and circling the entirety of the library until it stopped and surrounded the unconscious Prof. Carol Villar, busy with her papers. "Prof. Villar, I'll go home first," The librarian said before walking out the door. Carol was engrossed in her reading when suddenly the light turned off. "What the-hello, I'm still here! "She announces, But no one answered. So annoyed that Carol stood up to turn on the switch by herself. She returned to the table when the light went out again, so Carol quickly turned around. But the irritation on her face instantly disappeared, seeing the black mist floating, which was the reason for the off and on of the lights. (I can smell the loneliness greediness in you.) Carol looks around to find the owner of the cold voice. (Hmm, a selfish and arrogant-an attitude that suits me well.) "Who are you? If you are one of my students fooling around, I will make sure you regret it because I will fail you in all my subjects! "Carol exclaimed and backed away, seeing the black smoke change position, and it was slowly approaching her. Only then did she realize that it was not the student's work. "No..." Stay away! Help! Help! "'Caroline shouted while running on the shelves, and there-she hid. What's that thing? What is going on? "Carol murmured while trembling in fear." She's in that situation for a few minutes before peeking again. Carol breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the mist was gone, so she stood up and walked to the door- no longer see the smoke that suddenly appeared and quickly flew towards her. Carol falls in the and loses her consciousness... ------------------------ Ian Daniel hurriedly walked to the room where the coven council meeting would be held. "What is this emergency meeting for? "I asked as he entered. One of the council members responded by displaying the gleaming crystal. Seriously? Damn it!!! Then the dreaded doomsday is imminent ?!" Ian couldn't help but curse. If the prophecy comes true, disaster will befall his leadership. "We still don't know what the real prophecy is. "The only thing we know is to find the child," says the only thing we can do. And how do we find out? Don't we know anything about the child? "Ian replied. "Ian, as soon as you accept the leadership, your power will be complete, and you will easily recognize the child in the prophecy," "What if the prophecy comes first before I receive my full power?" One of the council members answered, "Things that are set to happen will happen... and we can do nothing to stop them." "No way! I won't just wait. Tell me, where did you feel the power?" Ian asked. The councilors looked at each other before answering Ian's question. "The unusual power was felt at the university," "University? The Nashville University?" Ian repeated. "As we felt the power, we also felt dark energy. That's why we've included you in this meeting- You need to find the source of the dark power," Ian cursed secretly as he clenched his fist. "Then cancel my entry into Hoggard School this year because I'm going to Nashville University," Ian announced. After some essential conversations, Ian left again to go home. He just arrived in this town this morning, and some circumstances occurred on his way. The only consolation I got is that girl named Jaymie Claire Anderson, "he utters while driving. (He reached the villa owned by his ancestor.) "Master Gabriel, welcome back," Ian Daniel smiled and hugged the butler, Dante. "It's good to see you," he uttered. (They walk inside the house.) "How's your trip? "Interesting," Ian mysteriously replied, with Jaymie Claire in mind. "And when did you become interested in normal travel? Usually, you teleport when you come here," "Well, I have no choice ... My power is restrained until my birthday," "Doing normal things in a normal way is good sometimes," (They go to the kitchen for dinner.) "Well, now that I have to go to the school for normal people, I'm not sure if what you're saying is okay," Dante didn't say a word and just smiled as he set dinner on the table. After the meal, Ian Daniel went to his room. "Let's see if the prophecy they're referring to is written in my great grandfather's record," he utters and turns the lion's head. (The wall at the far end of his room opens, and a secret tunnel emerges.) Before going inside the secret room, Ian Daniel uttered some incantation, and in a second, a light ball appeared in his palm.
