"Behind you, Mate?!" Everything started when Darelia got transferred to a catholic school with supernatural creatures. Being known to be dumb from birth, no one knew her source, except that she grew up with her stepmother and stepsister. Bullied and tortured without any supernatural power, she became a tool in the hands of her sisters. Things took an eerie turn when she started hearing voices in her head, silent feathery footsteps behind her, seeing wet sloshy marks in her room, and shadowy figures in her dream. Her blind search for help threw her into the claws of a teacher, a supposed helper who'd transform into Darelia's exact replica at night. Darelia started seeing reflections of a particular man in the mirror, a reflection that vanishes before she looks back - her vampire mate. The mirror man, "Behind you, Mate!!" That voice, that same voice.

Behind you, Mate Chapter 1 First day at Catholic school

Earphones were plugged into her ears, that was the only valuable thing she has. "You are going to another school doesn't mean I can't monitor you!" Ali yelled front the seat beside the driver's, obviously referring to Darelia who was listening to music with her eyes closed.

"Don't worry, mother. We will monitor her for you." Indie, Ali's eldest daughter replied with a smirk while glancing at Darelia who didn't even open her eyes to glance at them. "I wonder when she will stop being weird." Lisa, the youngest daughter rolled her eyes.

Their driver rode into the new school gate - CATHOLIC ACADEMIA. "Is this our new school?" Lisa asked with a disgusted face, she obviously hated the dark color used to paint the school gate. "It looks creepy - which will be fun." Indie giggled, looking outside the window.

Darelia opened her eyes for the first time and her eyes caught the statue erected at the gate entrance as they rode in - a woman with a very long black hair, dressed in a uniform and holding something she couldn't pinpoint, something that looked like a dagger.

"Alright girls! Take care of yourselves and see you at the end of the semester." Ali hugged her daughters as the driver helped them offload their luggages. Darelia took her small bag and briefcase, walking away - she didn't need their hug even if they would volunteer to give her one.

Darelia had always had a rigid yet innocent face but her cat-like eyes looked scary to everyone around her, especially at night. "The air seem soothing? Right, Dare?" She thought, throwing her head backwards to see her small cat raise its head from inside her back pack that was hanged on her back.

The cat gave a shrilly moan and Darelia smiled, entering the Principal's office without knocking. "Dare?" The principal called and her cat raised its head out again. "Not you!" Darelia hardened her eyes towards the cat who immediately jumped back in.

Darelia placed her form on the table without talking and the principal threw her a quick glance, "Darelia --- what? Dumb?" Principal Mana asked unbelievably when she looked at her file, she didn't think dumb were still in their world and who the hell admitted her?

After getting the uniform, her room number, Darelia proceeded to go get a rest. "What do you think about the school?" Darelia thought and her cat stuck her head outside, taking a view of the school like it was seeing it for the first time - It was strange that only the cat could actually hear her thoughts since she is dumb.

While Darelia was walking, there was a sudden step behind her and she turned backwards swiftly but found nothing. "It's getting dark!" Darelia increased her walking steps and finally found her room number which was somewhere in the midst of no other school rooms.

The door opened and Darelia came face to face three other girls that stared at her like she just came down from heaven. "Her eyes --" Athena who has a black straight and long hair muttered. "Don't tell me they are afraid of my eyes too." Darelia rolled her eyes towards her cat who just meowed in response.

"-- is beautiful!" Fair, a blonde, completed. "Sorry for not welcoming you. This is Fair, Haven and I am Athena." Athena quickly apologized, pulling Darelia to sit with them. "Not on my bed please!" Haven rolled her eyes and Darelia's cat meowed while Darelia looked at Haven, taking in her dark features.

She had mascara on her eyes, brows and lips which was giving the dark witch vibe. "We are witches, Haven is a black cat." Darelia's cat went back inside her bag immediately she heard that. Athena and Fair wondered why Darelia wasn't saying anything.

Darelia stood up and bowed then left for her bed which was alone, set beside the wall. After a few minutes, her bunk was set and arranged with her things. She turned back when she heard the sound of a step again but didn't see anyone, no one was standing.

Darelia stood up to go outside, "One of the rules, don't go out of the hostel once it's six in the evening." Athena warned while Darelia opened the lock of the window before jumping down. "Isn't she weird?" Fair whispered and Athena nodded, closing her opened mouth.

Outside, there was smoke everywhere. Darelia just kept walking without having an idea of what she was looking for, she yelped when she suddenly stepped on something. "A bone -- a skeleton bone." She thought and looked back, she was far way from her hostel.

Her cat meowed, shaking in the bag pack while Darelia walked further and ended up in the woods - how come there is a forest in the school? Some other footsteps, Darelia didn't bother to look back, she just kept walking further and further until the fog started blocking her eye sight.

"Dare -- Lia!" Whispers? Darelia tried not to shake when she stepped on something else and when she touched it, it was a necklace. She grasped onto it tightly and continued walking, she didn't know where she was going but strangely, she wanted to find out where the path led to.

Her eyes widened when she looked back and saw footsteps, opposite the way she came from. Someone was following her or leading her somewhere! Her cat gave a low meow when Darelia started following the footsteps in darkness until she began to run.

Darelia stopped when the footsteps stopped and she was shocked to be see herself few meters from the school gate, staring at the statue in front of her. "What the heck!" She cursed in her mind, her face holding a frown. Darelia turned to start going back to her hostel when an arrow came from nowhere and before she could dodge it, it ran through her hand.

Her heart trembled in fear when she looked at her hand, it had a hole in it which the arrow that ran through it had caused. While folding an handkerchief over it, her head suddenly started hurting her. "Dare - Lia?!" A voice, another voice, several voices in her head. She tried to yell but she couldn't, tried to call for help but she couldn't.

Blood trickled down her nose, that exact hand was running blood as it made marks on the ground and then, the statue behind her slowly started becoming human. The statue is a rock, it was moulded bit It was taking a form of human, Darelia dropped unconscious immediately.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.
