Chapter 3(The threat)

The date seems not to happen or terminated because Natalie didn't show up and her heartbroken boyfriend had to take heart due to the fact that work might be calling. Of course everyone knew that she preferred work to family. Although he left a message that he was coming over to her place inspite of she refuting.

Natalie's doorbell rang and she perceived it to be her boyfriend, she was reluctant to answer the door but she needed someone to cry on to. Today was the worst day of her life as she had thought that perhaps the woman she was close to might give her a chance to prove herself worthy in the company but it was quite the opposite. What happened to her neighbor earlier also gave her goosebumps as the blames were still raining on her. To worsen it, they all want her to move out of the apartment so that perhaps they might have their peace from being attacked by werewolves. But it wasn't only her place that was attacked but the cities which was becoming alarming and the governments are now depending on the moon chaser to save them.

"Why am I so unlucky?" She cried in her heart. Only the neighbors here knew she was a moon chaser but the public had no idea of that because she was never mentioned amongst the team. Natalie wade all thoughts away and decided to respond to whosoever was at the door.

She hopped to get the door but found someone dressed as an assassin, she was about to close the door when swiftly pushed her inside along with himself locked the door and intended to stab her but she picked the lamp close to her and threw at him while running to safety. Unfortunately, he was faster than her and got a grip of her hand, jerked her close to himself and grinned.

"Say your goodbyes, girl!" He roared as she struggled to get away from his grip but he was way stronger than her that she had doubts of ever surviving. First, he punched her to plump that she winced unable to fight for herself. Natalie fell to the ground as she writhe in pains and calling out for help which got him teasing her. Then, he pulled out a dagger from his back pany to stab her when he suddenly became mute. Natalie pants heavily as she managed to get on her feet shocked by what was going on, her arms were wrapped on her stomach and she was in a bent position when the killer collasped.

She shuddered as her eyes met blood drooling from his head. Someone had killed him and saved her once again but who could it be when there was no one in her room? Just then her door rang and it turns out to be her boyfriend. She was too afraid to open the door as she had to call the cops to take over the case. Her boyfriend had to call just for her to be sure he was the one.

He was perplexed to see what had happened over here and gave a helping hand to the bruised Natalie who was speechless throughout the night wondering how this man unexpectedly collasped before her eyes. Those eyes of hers trailed towards the window and they met two emerald blue eyes in the dark, somewhere close to the garden.

"I need to get to the hospital, Natalie!" He recommended as the cops had come in to check up on the choas caused her. They had asked her a few questions while taking out the deceased. This man seemed to be a notorious killer that had been wanted and performs all kind of jobs for the wealthy but in Natalie's case, he met his fate which was death. Her mind wasn't there anymore but was staring at the dark. Those eyes had faded away in the dark making it look like though it was her delusions when it was real! Questions flooded her head as she pondered over the reason why those eyes were staring at her and then left immediately she drew closer.

Jason, her boy had to take her into his arms to leave this place to the hospital because she was lost in thoughts and just staring at the window.

"Who owns those eyes?" she soliloquized haven noted that no one in the neighborhood had such pair of eyes. Natalie heaved a sigh, glanced at Jason with a brief smile and rested her head sluggishly on the chest.

Luckily for her, there were no deep cuts on her only that she got bruised. Her boyfriend was almost frighten to death seeing her this way but she seems less concern as all that rang in her memory was whosever had those sparkling eyes that were alluring.

"I think you should quite that job of yours Natalie, it only make things worst over here...". Jason poured out all he thinks of her job. This young man had been against it as he found it creepy and would only make her lose her life, probably at the end of it was.

"You never liked my job" she posed as the doctor placed bandages over her bruise face and hands.

"Yeah, like who on earth would like such a job that makes you risk everything..."

"It's what I love doing...stop bringing that up okay please" she demanded not wanting to stir up an argument because that was certainly going to happen.

Jason sighed, it was love that kept him for her even though she was a tough one. They hardly spend time together and neither does she listen to every opinion he gave. Always claiming she knew all and no one could tame her words. He wondered why he would, at last have this woman as his. One thing Jason and her family knew was that she was a workaholic and couldn't be found idle. Speaking of her parents, one would think she was an orphan when he parents were alive. Hoping that someday, she would come over to visit before it gets quite too late to do just that.

Jason held her hand as she was seated on a stretcher, gazing at him.

"Just safe for me" he requested and kissed her passionately. Jason did his best to stay with Natalie till she recovered from the bruises.

If she knew that was the last day they were seeing again, then she would have reconsidered but most times, they were mistakes that could never be reversed.

Natalie wasn't willing to yield in to the threats she was facing from all those who wanted her dead and it caused the death of Jason who was murdered on his way home, two nights away from the previous day when she was almost killed too. It made her depressed, blaming herself for making his life miserable because she never does what he says.

As for the moon chasers, they made use of Natalie's ideas to get hold of more werewolves living amongst humans as these paranormals, has been declared terrors upon the lands. Her life was becoming a threat already as her company demanded for her death. That was because Mrs Helen didn't want this young lady to expose her secrets because these two were closer to each other. They only kept Natalie over there just because of her brilliant ideas that could bring out werewolves from their hiding place and now that they got those brains of hers, it was time to dispose her but it was getting more difficult to give a try in ending her life.
