Episode Two

CHAPTER TWO

SARAH'S POV

"Celine! Celine!" I called out, but got no response

The whole place was darker than the night, if that was possible

"What is going on? Anybody here? Celine!" I shouted at the top of my voice, but it echoed back to me

It seemed like I was in a void

"Sarah!" The faint voice of Celine called and I gasped

"Oh my goodness! Celine where are you?" I asked as I put my hands forward, trying to find my way in the dark

'Why did the whole place suddenly turn dark? What had happened, and why can't I hear anyone?' I asked myself

Suddenly, it was bright again, the so beautiful city was turned to the opposite, that I almost didn't recognize it

The soil was turned from brown to black as though it was bombed. The tall beautiful skyscrapers, the huge ferris wheel that I had been admiring from a distance, were no longer there, they all collapsed as though they never existed. Corpses were allover the place, there were also dead…dogs?

I raised my head to meet the cold stare of a mesmerizing, and abnormally very huge black dog, it had intense grey eyes.

The dog was a sight to behold, I had never seen such like it in the twenty one years of my existence

It growled at me, and took a step forward

"This doesn't look like a dog any longer" I said and moved backwards

I took to my heels when I realized what it was, a dog could never be this huge, and then the fangs, dogs don't have fangs! But How did a wolf get into town? Weren't they meant to be in the woods and wild or something? It chased after me

I was so surprised at how fast my legs carried me, but that was the least thing on my mind, I was praying to whatever superior being out there, that this animal was actually a dog and not what I was thinking. I hoped that my eyes were playing a serious prank on me

I turned backwards and there was no longer a dog, but a man, I tripped and fell to the ground, while he stood just at my foot, and stared deeply into my eyes

I stared back at him, with a shaky body

Fear was painted all over my face, when I realized that, he had same grey eyes as the dog, Oh no! He is the wolf!

No, it can't be…werewolves aren't real' I said to myself

'They're Fictional, they aren't real'

"I...I ..have to be dreaming, this has got to be a night mare" I muttered in a very shaky voice, pinching my skin a little harder than I should have. I winced, and the man gave out a dry chuckle.

Did I mention that I never cried no matter the situation? Ah! Yes I did. well, Scratch that statement

Tears began welling up in my eyes. I was freaking scared to my bones. It's not like he did anything, but there was something about his presence that made me shiver in fear

"You know, for a measly human, you are pretty good at running" he spoke and I just stared at him, his voice was so pleasing to the ear that for some seconds, I totally forgot I was running away from him. There my eyes registered on his body, and I found out he was only in an underwear

My cheeks flushed as I stared at him, gulping hard on my saliva. I could swear that I was drooling shamelessly at this stranger, who for some reason unknown to me, wanted to end my life.

"I Know I look good, enough staring already" Wow! A killer who was so full of himself, and his statement made my cheeks burned tomato red in embarrassment

"Um…um..where is the dog….I mean wolf that was chasing after me?" I asked

"He is standing right in front of you" oh my goodness, I need air, can you imagine how fast my heart was beating? I bet not, I was wondering why I hadn't passed on from the panic that suddenly attacked me. I was back to my senses

But wait! So werewolves really did exist? I looked up at him, he was smiling mischievously

"Look what you've done…." He said, then paused, while using his hands to gesture at the destroyed places

"Beautiful isn't it?" You should know, he was been sarcastic with that question

"This place has been doing just fine, I was running this empire smoothly, but look, the very first day you step your filthy foot in here, everything crumbles. Every fucking thing I worked hard for" he said with gritted teeth

"I should have listened to the prophecy, I felt that you're just a mere human, what harm could you possibly cause? But I was wrong, you're badluck itself" With gritted teeth, he punched the floor, just next to my face

"What are talking about? I'm lost" I asked very confused

"Don't play dumb with me" he said and I creased my brows

"Aren't you related to Mr. Robert Anderson? If I should be precised, you're Sarah Anderson, his granddaughter, right?" Okay.... I wasn't so popular, how did he know who I was? But I nodded frantically

"I want to prevent the prophecy from coming to pass, so I will have to kill you" he announced and my eyes widened in shock

"What….what prophecy....ahhh!" I was saying but screamed in pain, I can't describe the amount of pain I felt

I touched my belly and my palms were welcomed with blood, my BLOOD

He stabbed me with his claws, and I could feel my life slipping out of my body

Blood gushed out of my belly like a dam which was restrained from flowing for years, granted freedom

Raising my head up slightly, I could see my intestines falling out, I screamed, knowing fully well, that there was no way I would escape death

Opening my mouth to talk was something impossible, as I could taste my own blood slipping out of my mouth

"This is the your end Sarah, and don't put the blame on me, you're cursed, there's nothing I can do other than standing up for my Subordinates" those words rang into my head, and the next minute, I was struggling to breath, water rushed its way into my nose and mouth

I closed my eyes, and let fate take its place, I guess the universe didn't want me after all

"Sarah!" I heard Celine called, which made me open my eyes

'It was all a dream' I said to myself, with my hand clenching on my chest

"Sarah! Where have you been? I searched everywhere for you as soon as it became bright again" she explained and I just stared at her in confusion, looking around, the whole place was back to normal as though nothing happened, looking at my belly, it was okay, there was no river close by or anything......What is happening?

I got up with her help and she took me to an apartment

"How did you know this was were I would be residing?" I asked, I don't remember getting to this place

Everything was just a mess

"A lady showed it to me" she responded

"A lady? Who is she? I mean what does she look like? No one knows I would be moving to this town except you… or did you…"

"No, no ,no I didn't tell anyone as you had requested, she was dressed in a very weird manner, some white cloak, which looked really ancient, and she was holding a stick or I'd rather call it a staff. her face was concealed too, so I couldn't really see what she looked like" she replied

"Sarah!" Someone called out to me in a whisper

I looked up and was shocked to see who it was

"Mum! How is this possible? Celine! Are you sure we're still alive?" Confusion boldly written on my face

"How did?...."

"Oh! This is my home" Her smile was so welcoming and comforting as she spoke

The woman wasn't in a cloak but with the look in my friend's eyes, I could swear she was the one

I pinched my arm really hard and winced in pain

"Sarah! What are you doing? Stop you're making me scared" She cautioned

That still didn't stop me, I bit my arm really hard till I could taste my blood

"Sarah!" Celine exclaimed

I looked up again and caught my mum smirking mischievously

Why would my mum be happy to see me hurt myself?

Or is she messing with my mind?

What's going on?

I asked myself on and on

Who is this woman? And why does she look exactly like my mother?

I was told by grandpa,that my mom abandoned me and my dad, and it was later discovered that she died due to some strange ailment

I knew the woman wasn't who she appeared to be, but I was going to play along

I needed to know what secret this town was hiding, I mean, who is the cursed one, the wolf in my dream was talking about?
