Ninety one

CHAPTER 91

GLENN.

Watching her I didn't know what to do or how to react to the entire situation, the question seemed abrupt as I wasn't expecting it yet as my heart beat heavily against my rib cages.

At the same time I was feeling a bit of rage coming from the deepest part of my soul, a rage that was filled with the fact that all of this could as well have been avoided..

I couldn't think of anything possibly think of anything to savage the situation, there was just one thing I could do and that was to tell her everything… or perhaps lie again.

Still divided on what to do, I stared hard at her for a long minute. The box she had pushed into my hands was right there still warm upon it and I was yet to check what was in it.

Opening the box and prying in, there it was my ripped clothes from the previous night when I had transitioned.

"Anna, I don't know what to say ."

She looked at me keenly her eyes sparking up with whatever courage must had prompted her to this place.

I shut my eyes for a minute and took in a deep breath, I could feel all of it at once the gentle breeze gliding through the room so quietly, I couldn't stop it the silent beat that was coming from my heart in a sytolical music.

When I turned to face her again and stared I to her eyes that still held those questions, my heart dampenned for the next few seconds.

"What do you want to know, why do you want this so bad."

I watched as Ann shut her eyes for a minute.

"Do you trust me?" She muttered.

"What did you say?" I asked, having not heard her the first time.

"You should trust me by now, I mean to say."

"Yes I did trust you, but there are some words that are better left unsaid."

" Like, what can be worse? " She asked.

I kept mute, as I was not willing to let myself be engulfed in Whatever emotions she was emitting.

I could feel the flames light up in her eyes, still I stood away from her as nothing but a shadow.

Hovering around was still that uncertainty, I shut my eyes for a minute and took a deep breath.

"Just let this matter stay as it is." I muttered .

I could tell she was not willing to do that as I could see her roll her eyes again, as she did I could feel the whole moment again at the back of my mind.

In a way there was no way I could imagine how she would react to all of this, it was bigger than even my imagination but I couldn't stop all of the words even if I could.

"Do this, tell me and I will keep your secret forever if I may."

I shut my eyes, kept my breath still . "Don't let me do this." I begged.

"You have no choice, I am not leaving till you tell me what this is about."

If there was any reason she was asking it was most definitely her because she knew what this was about already and just needed the confirmation.

Understanding hit me. Or wouldn't just want to assume, she wanted this time to be real all of this…

She wanted me to say the words to her face, she could tell that I was faint hearted and when it came down to keeping things for so long the will would wither deep inside for me.

There was just one thing I could about all of this now at that moment and that was for me to admit it to her that I was indeed what she thought.

I took a deep breath and stared right at her face, my mind felt twisted making it harder for me to get out of the paraphrased mode that I was in.

I turned my attention to the wall at the other end as I could hear her walking toward where I was slowly.

"You stole the envelope because you don't want him finding out, didn't you? " She asked.

" You know the answer already, why do you keep asking?"

“Then why do you hide your face then?” She frowned. “I —I" she stuttered.

I could hear my heart pounding from somewhere in my chest but at that moment I didn't want to stop, the will wasn't in me to do just that ."

I could have sworn that anxiety pierced my chest. I was in need of this confession.

"How is this even possible, this should just be something that happens In a fairy tale or somewhere else in those movies definitely not here." She still stuttered as she spoke.

It was as though she was trying to figure out what this was all about. She was battling with her mind against reality and from the way it looked it was hanging from a loose thread that could snap any moment.

She paces the room like someone going crazy, she walked it perimeters while I stayed glued to the wall all this while not because I was ashamed of facing her but I was lost with my soul, my mind had drifted far away to a beyond—To an hell of whatever she would do with it truth.

My mind was going berserk, regretting the fact that I had been careless about all of this, it was the only thing that I had to blame for the event unfolding.

"Oh, I get it now." She spoke, finally breaking through the thrill and silence that had enveloped the room.

"Those nights you lock yourself away, the little room in your basement you told me was part of this place when you go there … It is all a lie right? "

I averted her gaze. “You know the answers, why then do you ask? "

"I ask because I need you to say it, to confirm all of this word you are saying… I want to hear it from your own lips. "

The moment I turned it started as a spark, a spark that was too much for me to control, I could call it living out of my night mare at the same time it didn't feel as so, it was almost as though it never happened, Anna stared at me hard even as my eyes glowed deep yellow.

" You are real… You are a werewolf." She finally says the word.

I had thought that she might have recoiled back into her shell or perhaps be scared but she wasn't, she didn't show any single bit of emotion than perhaps thrilled and fascination.

I guess she had accepted the truth before she came forth to confront me with it.

She felt my face, her hands warm on it furs But it never happened, that fear I was expecting didn't …

"How does it feel?" She asked.

I cleared my throat as I transitioned back. In a funny way I was dazed at how I was able to keep sane. “You should be scared…You don't know what I am. "

" Yes I was, for those few minutes after I found out last night. "

" Last night? "

" Yes, I am not stupid I knew you didn't pass out on the floor but I had to tell the girls something. "

It all felt too much, I couldn’t take the expectations of the person I had thought she would be, she had broken that perceptive.

Everything felt like too much for me to take in, with the idea that she would accept me despite my flaws, without meaning to a tear ran down my eye.

Squeezing myself into this person I didn’t think I could be anymore, I let the words out of my lips. "So you came here despite all that, despite knowing that I am … "

I couldn't even bring myself to say the words, my lungs felt constricted till it was as though I couldn't breath.

All I could think about at that moment was that one of fears was over, my secret were out making me more vulnerable but at the same time better it made no sense sharing it with anyone else than her, she was the perfect fit.

At that moment, as she walked toward where I was it was as though I had a new life and she was a part, it was a world where there was no taunting as it was filled with fanciful dreams. I wanted one to come true, even as trivial as it was.

She stood in front of me as her eyes widened, "can I touch you."

I didn't even think about it cause I wanted her, I wasn't definitely expecting a hug but she did… She hugged me.

"Thank you." I muttered to her .

When she pulled away her eyes was watery. "I have to go now."

She took several steps toward the door before turning.

"And Glenn." She made the sign of locking up her lips and tossing the keys away and the fact was I believed her.
