CHAPTER 14
GLENNHis statement meant two things, and as it stood I didn't have to look into his eyes to see his true intent. It was right there for me to see.He was ruthless. He didn't try to hide the fact that he was a pervert as I could see him orge over my body, looking down my entire length like I was a kind of prey.This night was not going to end well, that was one thing I knew for sure— The look on his face showed he was ready to have his way with me and with it there was a feeling of death that hovered around refusing to depart leaving behind a little bit of fear that had now taken over my body.I tried to weigh him up in my mind, now I was smaller in body mass but two humans wouldn't be too hard for me to take on.I decided I better get out of the phase I was in. I took a look around telling myself that I need to get ready for a fight if need be, I don’t need to watch anymore."You both should just leave , I don't want to hurt anyone." I said in a warning tone.I didn't know what it was, it could be my voice or the way I had said it but he found my words funny as he laughed heretically.He slipped his hands into his pockets as his gaze fell down my body. I could feel his eyes linger on every private section of my body as it was hardly leering and more observant, like I was in fact some kind of meal he could just devour and he was wondering how edible I was going to be.His eyes narrowed at where I was on the floor. “You think all this is a joke right, wait till we are done. " He looked back at his friend. " We will both have you, then watch you and the dog do it."I swallowed, feeling strangely breathless under his scrutiny. “You can't do that please, just let me go. I beg of you. " I pleaded with the man.Some part of mind told me it was all a lost course as the man was centered on doing whatever he wanted to do.He had it in mind that he couldn't be stopped, judging by how frail I looked.He didn’t say a word, but his expression confirmed it as his stare went all over my body again as his heavy gaze reached mine, burning down my soul like it was mere paper, I began to think in my mind what I might do to escape."Why don't you both go, I promise you no one would know what happened — I will tell not a soul."He gave his head a slow shake.Deep in my mind I’d stood my ground long enough, much longer than my self-restraintever would. But now, I just need them to get the heck out of here before I lose my grip on humanity.I stood up and tries to leave but he blocked my path, as he did I could feel his hand around my wrist as he grabbed it."Where do you think you are going to?" He asked, tightening his grip.His grip felt like a band of fire; rough, as aa breath of fear trickled down my bloodstream.He stood a couple feet from me, his grip still on my wrist.I breathed. Wondering how many women had walked this same paths, his grip wasimmovable as he watched me with an inquisitive gaze till I could feel my heart close to stopping.My movement was swift , It waa one of the skills I had picked up back at home while practicing. In a way I guessed he didn't see it coming or perhaps he underrated me.I pulled him closer to where I was with my free hands and with my knee connecting to his solar plexus he let out a noisy cry of agony.I let out a low growl—Right before their eyes I could feel my body shifting, they looked at me in horror as I transitioned into a werewolf.I gave a low growl as the man that had almost molested me tried to get away.Losing every bit of the self control left in me I went for his throat snapping it with a forceful bite as his blood splashes across the room dramatically.It was all the other man waited to see as he turned and fled, it was harder to control my wolf at this point, I could hear his heart beating as I went after him.Just as he was about to run past the row of trees in front, my wolf leapt on him from behind and within minutes he was dead and mauled as well.I transitioned back to my human form, Imade my way to a chair in the waiting room. I leaned back my head andcouldn’t believe that this happened to me again—The blood from the man I had first killed trickled down like a brook to where my feet were and as I looked around at the room again all I saw was red.I got up and stumbled toward where the door had been, Without thinking Ipushed my way outside and looked up into the evening sun. I dropped to my knees sobbed heavily till my heart felt as if it was going to rip from my chest.I needed to get out of here, I could tell as I looked around again, I didn't know if they had friends in the woods so I started running as I had done for the past days.I didn't know how far I had gone but soon I. was heading out to the main road—I ran past cars in the driveway.and didn't stop as I kept running as fast as I could make my body go.Cars swerved around , Horns honked everywhere till I was confused. From nowhere I could see a car screeching as it stopped right in front of me.My heart beat came rapidly as a man alighted the car, looking up at the man who had almost hit me I was surprised to see who it was.CHAPTER 15SANTIAGOTwelve hours earlier…We sat on the porch of the facility pondering on the most situation, some part of me didn't want to believe that the facility had been under attack but at the moment I had to force myself to see thing's that way, as it seemed whoever it was had been in door most of the time.The thought of that alone made me cold all over, turning to Martha, I realised that the cold must had been a general thing as she was shivering too… Perhaps, we were both thinking about the same thing about how we almost got mobbed or attacked while at our jobs.We sipped latte's with neither of us saying a word to ourselves, not until the detective walked up to us.The detective whipped out a little note book. With a pen poised over the notebook, he fixed his gaze on Martha and I as though we made the whole story up and broke the glass ourselves."Just for the record, you are Doctor Santiago and she is Martha. Correct?""That is correct," I replied. "Martha here is my col
CHAPTER 16SANTIAGOThere was a bit of unrest in my mind as I stood with my hands folded looking at the events unfolding.It had been twenty minutes since they found the tracks and already the forensic scientist was working her ass off trying to fix what had looked to be a maze all this while.I stood close to where she was with my hands folded, hoping that it would lead to any useful details.Part of my mind wanted this mystery solved while another part couldn't just wait to get back home to have a good night's rest.Ever since that failed attempt at intimacy, Martha stayed a distance away from where it was, I had narrowed my eyes slightly before glancing at the direction where she was only to find he was already looking at me.She averted her eyes quickly, so fast before I could hardly convey what was in her mind.Bored of the whole procedure I made my way towards where she was, all I had in mind was to apologize for what had happened earlier as it looked like the only way I could
CHAPTER 17GLENNIt was evening before I could let myself out again, and that of course came with me having to look over my shoulders to be certain I wasn't being followed.In a way that was hard for me to explain, I never thought the stranger would come after me after almost getting hit by his car.I had listened to him ask a few people just close to where I had hidden myself, if they had seen me come that way.I could feel my heart beating heavily within my chest for two reasons: The first had to do with the fact that I almost had a near death experience and the other was from having to see him again.It seemed fate was bringing us back to each other, just when I thought my ordeal was over, it turned out I was only moving around in circles just to meet with him again.Looking around at the dark alley where I now found myself, there were many reasons for me to heighten my wolf senses as there looked to be every sense of danger everywhere I turned.With my enhanced senses while still
CHAPTER 18SANTIAGOFor one I was never one to believe in superstitions but at that moment all I felt at that moment had just one word to it—Deja vú.There was this feeling of uncertainty that I was trying to get rid of at the moment, a feeling as if something was going to happen.I couldn't help but feel it—That dark feeling hovering over my soul —for fuck sake I already had a hectic day yet this feeling decides to creep up on me like it had been waiting for me to have a very bad day…I furrowed my brows at the thought as I turned the steering wheel towards the left direction and just then the water that was held in the console rolled and hit the ground and fell to the floor which made me all pissed."Just great! " I muttered, throwing a fuse away, I raised my head and my heart immediately skipped.I immediately turned without thinking but before I got out of the car the young girl was gone. I panicked looking around in search of her as I wanted to apologize, check if I had hit h
CHAPTER 19GLENNIs there any finality to a man's soul than death?Feeling frustrated death was the only way out for me at the moment. I felt miserable, when did death become an option for me? I had been pushed around and was now tired. Pain wasn't even close to what I was feeling, I couldn't express what I was feeling but I knew it was more than terrible.It wasn't what anyone would wish to go through, everyone deservesy happiness in their life! I also deserve it, but was shown none! I was rather given the opposite! My life was a mess!I took a staggered breath as I rested my head on the bark of the tree.Slowly, this has started to be one of my favorite positions. I had so many dark thoughts filled in my mind as I sat down.It felt like my walls were finally closing, I had fought against having such thoughts and was now tired. I had succumbed to these dark thoughts and now, there wasn't any going back.Was all of this worth it? What was my reason for existence in the first place? I
CHAPTER 20SANTIAGOIs this fate?I heard the sound of a twig breaking in the deep dark wood. Only then did I realize I had run this far into the woods without realizing it.I was jogging, and a lot had been on my mind lately. The undiluted darkness that clouded the woods contributed to it, but notwithstanding, I paused and let the rapid, rugged breaths out slowly.It was euphemeral and exhausting.I suddenly realized how long I had jogged and how exhausting it was to jog for that long.It finally dawned on me but it was so damn late and I was in the woods.I paused and turned, staring at a particular direction like I could see the cause of the sound that had brought my jogging to an abrupt end.I doubt I would have ended it anytime soon.I never would have realized it until it was too late. But on second thought; what was that sound?.I took off my hoodie and instinctively moved towards the sound.Call it guts, hunch or whatever, but I didn't stop moving, even when my brain was scream
CHAPTER 21GLENNI blinked my eyes rapidly to adapt to the deem light that shone into it. The not so bright light really wasn’t helping in any way to rid me of the current pounding in my head. In any case, it caused the pain to intensify so I lay down there quietly, trying to get my eyes to get used to it before finally snapping it open.Even after I did that, the headache was still very much preeminent and I realized one more thing. The source of the light was from the bedside table beside the bed I lay and was so doll I couldn’t even make out what was two feet in front of me.I tried to rummage through my brain for anything, anything that will help me point out how I got into the current situation I was in. Lying down on a very comfortable bed with an active headache and very weak bones. I felt almost feverish.But I couldn’t for the life of me remembered how I managed to get myself in this situation and the more I try to think, the more my head pounded so at some point I gave up an
CHAPTER 22SANTIAGOI watched in fascination as she moved toward the door. She was stubborn. I will give her that but this really was not the time for her to display such character. Inwardly, I began to count down until her feet gave up on her and just as I reached one, she began to collapse to the floor.I reacted on impulse, shoving myself out of the chair in a jiffy and within seconds before she reached down, I got a hold of her and scooped her into my arms. I knew this was coming so I had prepared for it the moment she stepped her foot down from the bed.She has even managed to stay up longer than I had initially estimated which made me wonder how she was able to do that despite being under a very heavy sedative. Based on my estimation, she should only wake up after five hours of induction and now roughly four hours, she had managed to not get up but stayed up for more than five minutes.I shrugged that thought out of my mind as I moved toward the bed with her laying peacefully in
