Chapter 5

Gigi Pov

I secretly cursed Phil in my mind when I heard what he said. I did not misjudge him. He is indeed a heartless werewolf. My eyes widened when the evil werewolf approached me and held me by the arm. I tried to struggle against his grip. I don't want to perish in this movie world because I'm afraid that if I die inside this world I might not be able to return to the real world. And I don't want it to happen. I want to go back to the real world.

While I was struggling, I was surprised when the man holding my arm suddenly stop moving his face seems in shock. He was like a stump standing and just looking at me with his wide eyes, then suddenly he fell down in front of me. I saw Phil standing behind the man holding the man's heart in his right hand which was still beating. His eyes are yellowish and his nails are sharp. My eyes widened even more when I saw what he was holding in his right hand. The heart of the man who held me earlier was still beating. With so much shock at what I saw, my vision suddenly went dark.

A LOW growl escaped from my throat as I regained consciousness. When I finally opened my eyes, I immediately screamed in horror.

"Monster! Help me! There's a monster in front of me!" I screamed hysterically. Cindy immediately approaches me to calm me down.

"There is no monster, Gigi. You are already in your room," she answered firmly.

"There he is! He dug out the man's heart. He's in front of me, Cindy! He's a monster!" I insist, I feel like I'm having hallucinations even though I don't have a fever. And because I didn't stop being hysterical, Cindy shook my shoulders strongly.

"Prince Phil is no longer in front of you, Gigi! Look around you. We are the only ones in your room," Cindy's voice spoke to me loudly. It was only then that I stopped being hysterical when I heard what she said. I looked around me with my eyes still wide open. Cindy was right. I was already in my room and it was just the two of us inside. "We're back at your house, Gigi."

My body seemed tired so I slowly went back to bed and lay down. I hug a pillow beside me. In my whole life, I have only seen a terrible scene that's why I couldn't stop freaking out. Even if my sister was the one who saw what happened, she would have the same reaction as me. I'm also sure that the admiration she feels for Phil will disappear instantly. That man is not to be admired. He has no mercy and is very ruthless. He's scary.

"How did I get home? Did you bring me back home?" I asked Cindy in a low voice when I completely calmed myself.

"Of course, no. I'm just an ordinary person so I can't carry you back home. Prince Phil carried you home and brought you here inside your room," Cindy answered quickly.

"What? That dog carried me? That man's dirty hands touched my body?" I exclaimed with wide eyes. I felt disgusted and nauseous when I thought of Phil's hand that he used to hold the heart of a person touching my skin.

Cindy nodded. "There is no one else to lift you because you are with women and just ordinary people. But be thankful to him because even though you scolded him before, he still saved you," she reasoned with me. "And then I will remind you that Prince Phil is not a dog but a werewolf. He is one of the four princes of the werewolves. Don't ever let him hear you calling him a dog because we don't know what he will do to you if let him hear that word again. Almost all humans and werewolves are scared of him because of his ruthless reputation. He is a dangerous creature so when you talk to him you choose the words you say to him," a lengthy reminder from Cindy to me.

"I'm not afraid of that dog," I replied to Cindy. "And then he must have been forced to save me because Shan was in front of him," I frowned as I remembered what Phil said to the werewolves who blocked us.

Cindy laughed a little at what I said. "You're not afraid of him, but you fainted when you saw him holding the heart of that man in his hand. But then just forget what happened. The important thing is that he saved you," she insisted to me.

I frowned and gave Cindy a bad look. "I was scared of the heart I saw because it was still beating, okay?"

"Yes. You are not afraid of him anymore," she answered me surrendering. "Like I said, just forget what happened earlier."

What else can I do but ignore what he did? But what he did to the man's heart and the beating heart in his palm are something that I will never forget even if I am already gone back to the real world. That incident will remain in my mind which made my hatred for him even stronger.

"It's good that awake, Gigi. How are you feeling?" my father asked me when he suddenly entered my room together with my stepmother and stepsister.

"I'm fine now. But I can't get out of my mind the nauseating and horrible thing I saw," I answered my father honestly.

"You should be thankful that Prince Phil saved you. But instead of being grateful you're still thinking bad about him," the voice of my stepmother spoke to me with annoyance after giving me a bad look.

"And what do you want me to feel? To feel happy because I saw a person's heart that was still beating?" I couldn't help but answer my stepmother. I didn't hide the annoyance in my voice either. It seems that the people in this novel are used to seeing or witnessing such scenes because they seem to be indifferent to what happened. Well, maybe because they live in a world together with werewolves so they are already getting used to it. But not like me who comes from the real world and only sees werewolves in movies.

"Did you see your daughter's behavior, Delfin? She was saved by Prince Phil and yet, she was still angry with him. She was very ungrateful. And you heard how she answered me. Ever since we got together, she has not respected me," my stepmother said to my father in an annoyed voice. She once again gave me an evil and sharp look.

"Just understand my daughter, Aurora. You know she's been like that since childhood," my father answered in a low voice.

"That's why your daughter was hard-headed and doesn't know how to respect because you spoiled her like that," my stepmother replied angrily. My father lowered his head. I felt even more annoyed with my stepmother because of how she treated my father. She should be thankful that we are here inside the novel, so my father here is not my real father because if we are outside the novel and she happens to be my stepmother there, she will surely taste bad words from me that she has never heard before in her entire life

Patience, Gigi. Don't worry because it won't take long for you to get out of the world of the novel. You can also go back to the real world so be patient. I talked to myself inside my mind. But what exactly do I need to do just to get back to the real world? Who is the person I can ask for help in this world?
