UNDER THE MASK - EPISODE 23

★★★★★

“No, he killed her, don’t tell me you’re blind” Rainbow replied beside Mika

Mika burned with anger but there’s no one to pour it on as she watched the long kiss

Eden stayed where he had fallen and won’t stop staring at the scene

Min kept feeding on Kaitlyn’s lips like a kid will feed on his mother’s milk for what looks like forever

“I’m jealous” Venus smiled

“You guys should stop trying to kill” Moon said, finally looking away from Damon

Min let go of Kaitlyn after a long while and he won’t stop breathing heavily like her

The kiss was long and sweet and right now they both feel like returning to it but had to caution themselves

It was Damon who clapped first then Moon joined in the applause then Venus

Mercury just smiled while Depp kept eating apples

Eden stood from his spot and left the hall same time Mika and Rainbow left furiously

The feast continued with eating and drinking but the gists is all about the kiss

Min took Kaitlyn out of the hall immediately and Damon inhaled hard

“That was worth watching right?” Moon asked

“Till you tell me what you mean by you’re understanding bit by bit” Damon replied

” Oh” Moon said and stood

” I’ll see you tomorrow before you guys will leave” she said and left hurriedly

” I’m really leaving tommorow” he thought sadly

****

“it seems like I’ll lose anyways, you guys will be going back tomorrow, no chance to see Min again or teach that b*tch some lessons” Mika said frustratedly behind the hall

She’s with Rainbow and Rainbow is just sitting on the rails without saying anything

“You won’t talk?” Mika said

“You’re just too idiotic, who told you it’s a good idea to give up?, Giving up is not even an idea” Rainbow said, coming down

” I mean.. they’re both serious with this my king my queen of a thing” Mika replied

” AOS is opened to receive students anytime, you can just switch academies, AOS is better than here in Mount Vernon anyways” Rainbow said, rolled eyes secretly before walking away

****

“Sorry about my move earlier” Min said when he finally got to Lynn’s room with her

” It’s nothing, I love it” she replied and that made him smile

” You really love it?” he asked

” Of course, let’s do it again” she said

” Bonds can be crazy” Min thought

“Promise me that no other guy will touch even your smallest finger, you don’t want me to get hurt right?” He said

” Of course, and you too, though I dunno what it feels like yet” she replied

” You have… when you suddenly felt pains in your heart the other time and called for me, I appeared and eased the pains with an hug remember?” He said

” Oh, who touched you then?” She asked

” Mika, she touched me in the library” he replied

” Then it felt as if my heart was on fire, I don’t want to experience that again” she said

” You won’t, I’ll always stay away from them” he replied

“Me too, I don’t want to see you getting hurt again” she replied

He smiled and they both lay on the bed..

” We’re going back tomorrow, Will you miss this place?’ he asked

“Yes, cos I got my first kiss in the woods of this academy, so it won’t be easy to forget” she replied

” Me too, that was my first kiss” he replied, caressing her lips already

” Wait…why did the moon pains stop immediately you kissed the mark at the back of my neck?” She asked

Min smiled and caressed her lips more

“Because…” He said, remembering she must find out by herself

“Because what?, Your lips is the antidote to the pains?” She asked

“exactly, you just need seven kisses from me on the mark to stop it, so now we’re left with six” he replied with a smile

She took his hand away from her lips and pulled closer then hanged her arms on his neck, letting their breaths brush their faces

That instant, she said what came to her heart, feeling like it’s the truth

“I love you” she said, smiling attractively

Min understands how she’ll be feeling right now, it’s destined to be mutual by the heavens so it’s understandable that she feels the same

“I love you” he replied and she surprised him by kissing him instantly

It was mild but still delicious, she kissed miracles and he got lost in her arms

She clipped her legs behind him in their sleeping position and he slipped his arms around her, making the smooch go deeper .

****.

Eden won’t stop throwing things away in anger on getting to his room, to him, Min is crossing him and he has sworn to make him pay

“It’s obvious I loved her first right from when she first came, but that bastard crossed me!” He said and the next thing he threw was his dressing table

” I can’t take cheating!, I have to get her back.. just wait till we get back to AOS” he spat.

***

Depp has the widest smile on his face as he entered his room, reminiscing about the kiss with Mercury earlier

He sat on his bed and continued smiling till Cruella appeared

He got freaked with the sudden appearance and spranged up

“You scared me!, Their enchantment must be so weak here, how can a demon come to my room” he said

” As if you’re not one.. and Yes, the enchantment here is much weaker than AOS” Cruella replied

” What are you here for?” He asked

” I can sense your power has doubled, meaning the girl is gradually falling” she smiled cunningly

” Are you here to say just that?” Depp said

She stood and faced him

“since you failed to steal the orb using the opportunity of the seniors absence, now that you’ll be returning tomorrow, there’s not much time left, no time to waste immediately you get there, steal it and bring it to our coven, king Dantalion will soon be back and we have to wake princess Amoura” she said

Depp found it hard to answer as if something is blocking his throat till Cruella hit him

“Yes, I’ll do that” he said slowly

Cruella smirked before vanishing

Depp sat back on his bed and touched his throat

“It felt as if something blocked my throat back then when I was supposed to tell her I’ll do it, why?” He asked himself

He went to his mirror and took off his clothes then checked out the mark on his back

It shinned brightly. “Am I really…a demon?” He asked himself.

****

Moon sat sadly on her bed that night like an hungry kitten, she never moved or talk since she came back from the feast

She has been sad and depressed, Damon will be returning with the others tommorow, there’ll be no chance to see him again or talk to him again

Of all the AOS students, he’s the only guy she feels attached with and all her life, he’ll be the first guy she talked freely to so greatly, she feels sad

She got down from the bed and opened her window to look up at the sky but surprisingly she met him there, standing by her window

“Damon?” She said surprisingly

He was surprised too cos he wasn’t expecting her to open the window

“Moon” he replied

She smiled and went out to meet him, they sat beside her window quietly for a while

“I’ll miss you” Moon said, breaking the silence

“I guess it’s same here” he replied

She looked at him and smiled lightly

“You know… you’re the first guy I’ll ever talk freely with, initially I don’t talk to guys” she said

” Oh…I talk to girls initially, my best friend is a girl like you know” Damon replied

” Well is it interesting here?” She asked

” Of course, I learnt more new things, and I met you” he replied

She feels special that instant and blushed

“I saw that” Damon said and she quickly held her cheeks

“Sorry” she said

He smiled and took her hands off her face.. “it’s not advisable to cover a pretty face” he said

She blushed over and over again.

” By the way, what about Min and Kaitlyn?” Damon asked

Moon Inhaled harder and faced him again

Kaitlyn is our queen and obviously Min is her king, meaning he’s our king too” she said

” What!”

” Yes, I read books a lot just like Min and my grandmother told me a lot before dying” she replied

” I only have a dad and he told me to always find things out myself, but I hate reading” he replied

” Lazybone, well…the Queen’s face will remain weird to normal humans till she gets her complete seven under the moon kisses on her mark by her king so when she said she used to cover her face cos people see it as weird, I started getting suspicious, but when Catol arrived and she fell when the moon arrived, then vanished with Min, my suspicions got stronger..I think Min found out not long ago too, he must have given her the first kiss on the mark, then talking about his queen and getting violent when Eden touched her is because the king and queen are destined by the heavens and created by supernatural fire that made their hearts allergic to touches from others” Moon explained

” Oh…now I get it, so they should be announced as the king and queen, they’re the power of the Supernatural beings” Damon said

” The queen can’t be told her fate till she finds out herself just like the king found out himself” she replied

” Hard, then what if Dantalion comes back before she finds out?, They even need her blood to wake the evil princess Amoura, we can’t lose her to them” Damon said

” That’s based on their destinies, if they’re destined to die in the hands of Dantalion and his demons, then it will happen, but if it’s not destined that way, it won’t happen” she replied

” You know a lot” Damon said

*I know” Moon smiled

“I wish there’s network connection in the two academies, we’d have been talking on phone” Damon said

” You brought your phone too?” Moon asked

“Of course”

“I brought mine too, but I got disappointed when there’s no connection here” she replied

*But one way or the other, we’ll meet again I promise” he said

” Sure, we will” she replied

He raised his hand to her hair and stroked it gently while she kept smiling and slowly, she placed her head on his shoulder

****

Next morning**

They are all ready and set for the journey and Dean Wang is ready to send then off

He stood at the usual place and smiled at them

“Thanks for the help you rendered, it means a lot, and I hope you guys will come again anytime we beg for help” he said

” We will surely do that” Kaitlyn bowed

“I wish everyone a safe trip back to AOS” Wang said

Moon waved at everyone as they moved out of the academy and when her eyes met with Damon’s, she can’t stop her tears

She cried slowly as she waved at him till they’re out of there.

***

AOS**

“They’ll be here soon” Asher smiled, looking at the way with Lett and the other juniors

Athena is holding Tan who kept licking her face graciously

She obviously can’t wait for their return and it really came fast

“They’re here!” A junior screamed

They entered the academy with smiles and the Juniors won’t stop jubilating and shouting, hugging each and everyone but they kept staring at Kaitlyn, wondering who she is but only Tan recognized her

He jumped down from Athena’s arm and went to her, licking her toes fondly and waggling it’s tail

Kaitlyn bent down and carried him, finally he has the opportunity to lick her face like it has always wanted

He licked her face a lot as if there’s sugar on it

“Kaitlyn?” Athena said first

She looked at her and nodded. “It’s me”

“It’s really you?”

“Yes Athena” she replied again

“My jeez!” Athena gushed, rushing to go hug her immediately

” You’re so beautiful and I envy that, so you’ve been covering up this beautiful face” she said, kissing Lynn’s face all-round

Min took her from Athena and held her firmly

“Oh..the jealous guy is here, I’m not a guy so chill” Athena said

“Whatever” Min replied and Tan started giving him his greetings too

Athena can’t contain her happiness when Damon came to view, she hugged him like her life

“I missed you so much, no one to talk to, no one to play the keyboard and violin, it was boring” she whined

Damon gently broke the hug and smiled. “But now I’m here, and I missed you too” he said and even after the greetings, she won’t let go of his hand

“We welcome you all back to the academy, Dean Wang sent his words already that everyone of you did well especially Min and Kaitlyn” Lett said

They both bowed

” First time seeing your face…your beauty is divine” Asher said

Kaitlyn smiled prettily, letting her white teeth shine bright

“Second Aphrodite” Lett said and Asher smiled

“That’s actually true” he said

“Giving them all the praises again, that’s why I hate them” Rainbow thought.

Asher is about to talk again when a bird perched in front of them and Immediately transformed into a human but not just ordinary

She’s wearing a long red robe and her hair is so long, it reached her thighs

Her lips are red like blood and her eyes is mean.

“Ursula?” Asher said, obviously shocked

The students stared in shock too

She smiled and faced the two masters

“I’m back, show me to my room” she said

“Who’s she?” Mercury wondered

” Now one mad personality is not enough, nature decided to bless us with another” Eden muttered

” If her name is Ursula, then I know who she is” Min said

“Huh?” Kaitlyn said

“According to what my late dad told me, she’s a sorceress, and Dean Asher fell in love with her nineteen years ago, they had an affair and even had a female child but Ursula won’t let Asher see his child since then, and that’s what separated them, only for her to come back now” Min replied

Ursula laughed loudly

” Why are you here?” Lett asked

“Isn’t it obvious?, I came to stay with Asher” She smiled
