Lila opened her eyes and looked around, trying to recall where she was. And it came rushing back in, she was in the forest, with wolves and horses and a cute mysterious young man. Wondering what time it was she tried to stand up from the bed. The lamp lights were still on, giving light to the dark room, but they were all gone, no wolves, no horses, no man.She looked around and found a saddle hung on the wall at a corner and identified it immediately. She wasn't good at horses, never ridden one before, but it didn't matter, wasn't it just kicking the horse and holding the ropes? How hard could it be?With this thought in mind she hung it down from the wall and dropped it on the floor, she needed to find a horse, he had two, and wouldn't have gone out with both of them at the same time.Reaching for the door, she stepped outside to be welcomed by the early morning sun, it was so bright, or maybe she thought so because she had been in a dark room the whole night and only had lanterns to
"Here?" She asked, looking at him like he had suggested something stupid and impossible."Is anything wrong with this place?""Of course something is wrong, everything is wrong with this place, you want me to bathe here? In the open? Naked?" She shot at him, but not in a rude way."Do you bathe with your clothes on?" He asked surprised by her question."That's not what I meant. Isn't there an enclosed space where I can get some privacy?" She inquired."I guess not, what's wrong with this place?" He asked her, trying to get what she meant."Well it's not so closed, is it? This place is wide open, this is spring water, water running out of a rock, and I don't think rocks give privacy do they?" "Wait, don't you Lycans value privacy?" She suddenly asked because of the way he was looking at her as if she was talking nonsense."We do, only when it's necessary. There's no one here, only me, and I won't be standing, watching you here" he handed her the liquid he had initially prepared."I wa
Disturbing sounds forced Lila to open her eyes, making her wake up from a sleep she was enjoying. She searched with her eyes to see where it was coming from and couldn't help but sit up on the bed when she saw what was happening around her. Rem was packing up his things. He was really serious when he said they were leaving."Where are we going to?"."Your coming here wasn't a coincidence, you were pulled here by someone, and they wouldn't stop. Earth isn't safe" he replied, tying up something."So what are you going to do?""Something I should have done a long time ago". She watched as a wolf dragged out a tied-up bundle outside."And what is that that you should have done?""We have a long journey ahead of us, and we need to leave as early as possible," he said, ignoring her question and heading out with a bundle of his things.Standing up and deciding to help, she followed him outside just in time to see him burning his stuff."Have you been on an adventure before?" She shook her he
"Lila!""Mom, I'm coming" five years old Lila hurried to the car and entered the back seat, her parents were sitting at the front. She cuddled her teddy."My princess is sitting alone at the back, want daddy to come and sit with you?" She nodded. Her dad got down from the co-pilot's seat and joined her at the back."Let's go, honey," he told his wife, who smiled and turned on the ignition. Soon the car hit the road. The car was at high speed and her mom was trying her best to stop it."Stop it, honey""I can't!!" Her mom screamed back, tears rolling down her cheeks. Her dad moved forward and tried to control the wheel, but it was still fruitless. He turned to his wife "Let's jump"Little Lila was already crying. Her dad turned to her and held her on her shoulders."How much do you trust your dad?""Very much," the girl said in between her tears."The seatbelt is stuck!! It doesn't wasn't to come off!" Her mom said in a panicked voice."Very much?""Very much""Close your eyes' he tol
Rem opened his eyes to see himself in an awkward position, or maybe not him, but Lila. She was lying next to him, her head on his chest. He wondered how they had ended up in that position, he was still at his end of the bed, so it meant that Lila was the one that rolled over to his side.Gently lifting her head and placing it on the soft quilt, he got off the bed, tucked her in, and left the room.When Lila finally awoke, she rubbed gingerly at her eyes to adjust to the brightness. The sun was already up, its rays rushing into the room through the porthole. She lay in bed, blankets and quilt holding her firmly and cozily in place. She wondered how she was neatly tucked in, and immediately remembered that she was in Rem's room and they slept together, he was nowhere to be found, so it explains who had tucked her in.She rolled from one end of the bed to the other, a smile on her lips. How she had dreamed of this, a day she would have a comfortable bed to herself, and not the uncomfort
They were all dead, but he wasn't shedding a tear. This was not the time to cry, he had to stay strong. He lay on his father's back as his father ran. They were still after them, they won't rest unless they were both eliminated.His father ran through the forest, not stopping, behind were sounds of hoof beats."Father, they are catching up," The young ladpanicked, looking back to see where the sound was coming from. His father did not reply, he couldn't because he was in his wolf form, but he quickened his pace. And soon, they arrived at the edge of the cliff. It was so high above that they couldn't jump. Below was running water, it ran from the cliff and formed a river below.His father stopped, slowly changing back to his human form. He fell to the ground because he was weak and tired, the injuries on his back and his knee bleeding non-stop. Their bruises all over his body were so much that the young boy couldn't help but tear up looking at his father in that situation. He knelt be
Ten years later....."Wake up would you?" Sam tried her best not to shout. Lila looked at her friend, she almost looked frustrated but that didn't mean she would give in, she would never do that. "Lila is right you know, this isn't a good idea" Cindy, who was sitting on the floor at a corner said supportively."Wow, now she's right? Look around, both of you. You like here? This place?" Sam waved her hand in a circular motion, indicating she was talking about the house."We are four months behind rent for crying out loud! Aren't you tired of suffering? Of being looked down upon? Aren't you tired of all this?" Sam added."This still doesn't make what you are saying right. Prostitution, really? I don't think you can even hear yourself" Lila looked at her friend like she was insane."It's not prostitution, it's stripping, and what if it was hook up? What's wrong with that? Isn't it just sleeping with men? Are you trying to keep yourself? For who? It's not like prince charming would
She watched Sam as she carefully packed her belongings into a new bag she had recently purchased."So you are seriously leaving?" Cindy asked in an unconvinced manner."Is that a question?" Sam answered with rolling eyes. picking up some clothes she threw them in Lila's direction. Lila caught it before it touched the ground."You've always admired these clothes on me, you can have them, I'll stock up on my clothes once I get there" Sam muttered, but there was no smile on her face.Lila accepted the clothes with mixed feelings. She would miss Sam, the three of them had all been through thick and thin together.Zipping up her bag, Sam raised to a standing position, hands akimbo as she examined the room."I wouldn't miss this place one bit you know" she tried to smile."But I'll miss you guys, so much. I just wish you guys could come along, but I can't force you guys, so..." She carried the backpack and hefted it over her shoulder."I'll have to get going" she smiled, looking at her two f
