--Athena’s POV--The next moments between Ulva and I were undeniably awkward. There is a part of me that thinks that she has this weird persona.Yes, she looks demure and modest in a way, given her good physique and nice face. But some of her actions were beyond my expectations of her. It was almost as if she had ticks or something.It’s also embarrassing to stare at her every time she acts like that, so I just stare at her with my peripheral vision. We are here in the living area. We are on both couches.The television is on because I continued watching the movie series that I binge, but my focus is taken away because of her occasional hissing and scratching of the neck."That’s a load of crap," she even commented in one scene where the two protagonists are running in the rain so in love with each other.I ignored her. I also don't want to talk to her. I really find her odd that I’m more interested in watching her rather than talking to her."That’s romance for you humans? I prefer b
I can see how Ulva suffered because of being choked by what he called his brother. It's like I suddenly woke up now that I can see violence in front of me.I panicked and wanted to pull the man away, but before I could do that, Ulva made a quick scratch on the man's face, which caused him to let go and focus on the pain he was feeling. He was able to recover quickly.He looked sharply at Ulva, as if he had even more reason to be angry with her now. Ulva passed by my vision; she was like a wind that I felt but could not see.I was shocked as I leaned against the wall and watched their chaos. I saw how Ulva ended up behind the man, and the man didn't feel it. It was too late that he realized Ulva was behind him.Ulva tried to jail Meshka in her arms to choke him and slash him with her long nails, but she failed because Meshka grabbed her hands and pulled her up before slamming her on the floor.I gasped loudly. I held my mouth because of the pain I felt for Ulva. But I was very surprise
And now, like a flash back, a memory of me flashed in my mind. It’s like it was so hidden that I didn’t even know that it’s a memory. It felt like it was a dream."Something weird happened to me yesterday, Peter." I said to him while we were chilling at their place."Only weird things happen to you. What’s new?" He smirked.I rolled my eyes. I know he’s talking about how weird I am as a teen-age lady. He used to tease me about it all the time."No, I’m serious. Do you know this crazy woman living on the sidewalk? ""You mean the old beggar woman?" He raised his brow.I murmured words. I know I’m not good at describing people. He always corrects me. How many times will he prove to me that he’s a good person and I’m the complete opposite of him?"Yes, that woman. She told me that my time in this world would soon end."I still remember how she said it to me. Was she like a possessed person or was she just losing some screws in her head?"Tss. You know she needs professional support, rig
Running I had the chance to pick up the mop and saw when our gaps met, I tried to batter him with it. He’s strong. With just one hand, he grabbed the mop and threw it somewhere.My eyes widened. I know that fear is now evident in my eyes. I guess I’m too busy to think about survival, so I tried to shrug my fear off and continue fighting him.I ran into the open space and my adrenaline kicked in a lot of ways. I threw everything that I saw at him, but he just effortlessly nudged those things that were thrown at him.Even in the dark, I saw how his eyes were intently staring at me. All of my distractions towards him are nothing because his motives are so clear.I was already panting. The cold wind blew the sheer curtains, and even with that tiny bit of hindrance to his sight, his eyes remained the same. I gulped and looked around the tiny house. Damn, how will I escape this weirdo?"Who the fvck are you?" I said with so much conviction. I am now leaning on the sink."You know me, Athena
A horrible thought flashed through my mind in an instant when that memory flashed in my mind. Attached to this is fear.Fear. From all that I have witnessed, it is clear to me how much we differ. But seeing the registered fear in his eyes, I realized we still have something in common.Is he afraid? Is he afraid that I saw him in his true identity? While I am also afraid to see the truth, he’s not like me, very different from what I am.What I saw was out of this world and out of my mind's ability to imagine. Knight is a wolf. He shifted into a wolf. I saw it with my own eyes. I saw it all. When he opened his arms wide and how the light came down on him, I saw it all.He jumped from being a human into the center, and before he even touched the ground, he shifted into a massive gray wolf. I saw how the other beings drank the water, and they all looked addicted and desperate. Everyone knelt down as if worshiping him and looking up. The sound is all the same, howling."Look at him. That's
I feel like I'm floating. I still can't give myself time to process everything because there's just too much going on.We walked silently through the forest, no one spoke. The two were quiet as well, probably because of my occasional sniffles caused by crying. I don't even know what I'm crying about as long as I just want to release the weight I feel.I feel betrayed, horrified and unwell. I want to wake up from this dream, from a long deep sleep. I love him very much, but I have never seen the truth like this."You think he doesn't know?" Lucas suddenly asked Grendel."Of course he knows." His answer."Damn. That's what I hate about him. I don't know his mind sometimes. He has plans that I can never predict. " Lucas answered with a tone.I stayed silent and wiped my tears. After a while, I felt a weight on my shoulders. I looked at my shoulders and saw Grendel's hand putting a cloth on my shoulders. I looked at his face straight."It's almost dawn. For sure, a human like you feels co
What Grendel said was true and wonderful. He might sound like a hero and a martyr, but there are other sides to love that deserve recognition as well. And for this one, I could side with Ulva."We have to go back, as soon as possible." I said to Erin.She nodded. "That's what I'm suggesting as well."I quietly put my things away. My suitcases are lying in Knight's room. The only thing I put away is what I use. My chest was tight while looking at his clothes being left there."We'll leave tonight. I need to settle some things first before we go back. "She also doesn't know what I need to finish, so I don't have to explain. She didn't even ask, something I was thankful for."How about Knight's? You're not going to pack his things? Will he stay here? "I stopped while removing clothes from the hanger. I waited a few seconds before facing him."He'll stay here." I nodded.That's all I said because I didn't know how to explain it to her. I knelt down on my suitcase even though my eyes wer
I sat quietly on my bed while staring at Ulva, who hadn’t stopped crying. She was there on the balcony of our room. Just a few minutes before I left them, she followed me to the balcony, eyes closed and crying. I just gave her some time alone.But she hasn't stopped until now. I have done so many things, but she still doesn't stop crying. So when I couldn't stand it anymore, I got up to go to her. As soon as I was at the sliding door, I could already see her puffy eyes. Her long hair in a ponytail was blowing gently. She was leaning against the railings of the balcony while looking out into the distance.I'm not used to seeing her this weak. I'm used to the bold and sarcastic Ulva. I remembered Grendel saying that when you love, you don't change; you're just yourself. You will never show your weakness if you are not yourself.I sat quietly in the opposite seat, but even so, she noticed me. She quickly wiped her tears and acted like nothing had happened, even though I could see in her
