《The Academy 3》20

I rushed off the court because I didn't want anyone asking me about why I threw the match. I considered forfeiting the game, but that would've been too obvious. My dad was going to give me a lecture when I got home since I just left him. I desperately needed to get out of here.
I walked into the locker room and sat on a bench. I put my head in my hands and let out a deep sigh. My mind is racing with all these thoughts and emotions. I groaned at the footsteps approaching me. I looked up to see Yasmine and Astrid.
"How-"
"You always come in here after practice." Astrid stated and sat next to me. Yasmine simply stared at me with her arms crossed.
"You better start talking." Yasmine demanded.
"And why would I do that?"
"Because you've been a bigger bitch than Tamsin ever was! You've put her bitchyness to shame!" Astrid complained. "How dare you treat us this-"
"Tridi." Yasmine calmed her down. "Perhaps, a gentler approach."
"She doesn't deserve that." Astrid turned with a huff.
"You let her win." Yasmine stated. "Why?" She pressed.
"I don't know-"
"That's bullshit!" Astrid stated. "Be honest." She demanded.
"My head and heart are at war." I breathed out. "My heart wants her, but my head is telling me that she's done nothing but hurt me. I don't know what to do." I sighed. I felt a weight lift off my shoulders by being honest with someone
"Oh, Ali!" Astrid cooed and wrapped her arms around me. "You don't have to go through all of this alone." She reassured me.
"Please, be vulnerable with us." Yasmine squatted in front of me and held my hands. "Please, we will not hurt you." She pleaded with her eyes. "Trust us, Ali." She whispered.

"I love her." I cried into Astrid's arms. "But I'm so hurt."
"That's why she has to prove herself to you. Allow her to do the work this time." Yaz's grip tightened on my hands. "Everyone is in your corner." Tridi nodded along to Yaz's words.
We stayed like that for a long time. When I finally got the energy to move, my friends drove me home. They decided to spend the night with me because I really needed them. I needed someone to hold me. I longed for Nicola's embrace, but that wasn't a realistic option anymore.
I fell asleep on Yaz's chest while Tridi spooned me. I felt secure by being in someone's arms. It helped to dispel the demons from me. I was finally able to get somewhat of a peaceful sleep.

Whispers from the dark
During the dark times, the humans and elves decided to work together to defeat the Fiend. A high king among the humans was chosen, together with his archmage he defeated the Fiend. A few years of peace, until the high king lost it. He was convinced that the mages would steal the crown and take over his world. Scared as he was, he decided to hunt down everyone with magical abilities. Elves retreated to the safety of their forests and mountains, forever remaining a mystery to the humans. Many non-magical humans agreed to this plan of their lord, for they were also afraid that the mages would take advantage of their weaknesses. The mages tried to survive. The archmage, who was the former counsellor of the last king and protector of the royal family, protested. He wanted to solve this problem through politics. But nothing helped, and the archmage fled. The king got two sons, one was born a mage, and the other human. The king despised his mage son and banished him. His younger brother became the heir of the throne. Anger grew in the mage prince. He thought war was the only solution to this problem. Consumed by the will to gain power, he searched for followers who would fight the humans in order to stop the hunt on mages. The archmage tried to stop this evil plan of the prince. But the mages split in two groups. The necromancers, followers of the evil prince, who studied the crafts of the dark magic to terrorise their enemies and gain back the throne. And the sorcerers, followers of the archmage, who tried to peacefully restore the trust between humans and mages. But nobody knew the danger that was gaining back his power in the underground world. The archmage disappeared and a darkness swept over the world. Human, elves, mages, every creature awaited in fear the day the darkness would take back his control. Faelwen, a young woman, was put in the middle of this chaos. Even though her only priority was to survive. Hunted down by humans and evil beasts, who can she trust? And what whispers from the dark will reveal the secrets from the archmage?

What Lies In Between
Earth is on the tail end of its recovery after suffering near-apocalyptic events. Catastrophic storms and sudden, dramatic shifts of the tectonic plates almost destroyed modern society. And to make matters worse, a mysterious disease that would later become known as the Deep Sleep Syndrome swept through the population. Penthus Argyris is one such person affected by this illness. Abandoned by his mother—his last living relative—he wastes away in a hospital ward. It was lonely, but Pent had grown used to it. He no longer dreamed of traveling across the earth to explore the ruins of the fallen nations; the world outside his sterile white cage was all but a distant fantasy. Pent had all but come to terms with his lot in life—that is until his adopted cousin showed up out of the blue with some surprising news… News that would shake the tentative foundation that Humanity had only just managed to piece together.
