Chapter Twenty

EMILY'S POV

“Who are you?” I asked him.

“Dear, you should focus on your healing. You are too weak right now. Wait here, I'll go get something for you to eat.” He said and walked out the door.

I clenched my fists and helped myself get up. Then I ran out the door. Thankfully there weren't much werewolves in sight to stop me so I was able to escape.

My mind raced in thoughts of how I would go out of the forest to the town to get something for myself to eat. I knew that rumors of me were all over the town and the ruler had already placed his men to search all over the town for me. “Well, I think it would be best for me to disguise myself from them to go to town to get something for myself,” I said in a low voice.

I went inside and put on my cloak and put in a little dagger at the side of my ribs to use it to defend myself from his soldiers. I quickly followed a short path leading to the town until I found out there was something strange going on inside of me. I found out that my wolf form was all over the place and was being placed by a huge amount. “What is really going on with me? Why can't I transform anymore? I think there is something wrong somewhere,” I muttered to myself. 

“What do I do, and where do I go from here? This is really frustrating, and I really have to do something about it before it gets late, but I can't even understand anything that's going on within me. I would just have to go look for something to eat first before I look into this Matter deeply” I said, talking alone and left. 

I went to a restaurant in town, one of the two restaurants that make good dishes. I was really famished and ordered something to eat. “Hey come over” I called the lady serving the meal. 

“What may we offer you?” She asked. 

“Ahhh, what do you guys have? I am starving and can eat anything called food so just get what you have and also add any alcoholic drink so I can feel lively when I am done eating it” I said. 

“Okay, just allow me some minutes to go get it,” she said. 

“Okay, just be fast, I'm starving,” I replied. She nodded to me in agreement with what I told her, and immediately she left. 

I waited for her patiently while she brought the food to my table and dropped a piece of Paper on the table as well. “Sorry, what's this?” I asked. 

“Oh, that's the amount of the meal,” she replied. 

“Okay” I muttered. I had some money on me, but the f*e was higher than the amount I have on me, but due to the way I was hungry it would be the craziest decision of me giving back the food even if I don't have up to what's required. I rushed the food and really it was delicious. Furthermore, I had to waste time there sipping the drink little by little until I noticed some men who entered the store were all dressed in the same uniform, but I didn't suspect anything until they kept staring at me endlessly.

I suspected they were up to something dangerous concerning me, so I needed a plan to leave the store immediately. I left the money I had on the table and acted as if I was drunk. I kissed a random man, wanting him to push me away, and he did as planned. I opened the door and ran out into the forest and I noticed that they were following me, so I ran faster into the woods. 

I ran as fast as I could into the deep forest without looking back because I was being chased by some rogue wolves, they were chasing me endlessly and if eventually I was being caught I could be killed by them, but I wasn't ready for death. I came to a spot where I was exhausted and couldn't take another step further. I was perplexed and asked myself so many questions, but there was no one to give me the answers to my questions. 

“These rogue wolves have been chasing me for a while now, bringing me up to this extent. I am exhausted. I can't go any further. I would just rest on this tree and wait for a while”. I panted heavily while resting because I had run a mother five miles down to this place and am exhausted and would have to rest for a little while. 

As I rested my back on the tree beside me, suddenly I could feel and hear some footsteps walking towards my direction. I kept silent as my mind was racing in thoughts of what next I would do to escape them this time. As I stood at that spot quietly, I heard the foot more clearly as I passed some seconds there. 

“What's really the problem with these rogues? It's been a while since they have been chasing after me. Why can't they just go back from wherever they came from and tell the whosoever that sent them that they had already lost me?” I said quietly. “What do I do now? Where would I go from here?” I asked myself so many questions until I had to come up with a plan. 

“I think it's time I stop running around from these rogues, I would walk up to them and kill them one after the other” I said courageously. 

I had a little fear In me while going to fight them because I knew they split up themselves to find me, but I knew they were only two of them who were sent to get me killed. As I wandered around the forest I saw the first wolf who looked around, and I knew he was looking to sight me from there, so I called him and made him see me. I knew he was going to follow me if I ran in the other direction.

I fought with my last strength and managed to kill two of them, but I was struck at the back with a hard weapon and immediately I lost consciousness as I fell to the ground. I could only wonder how horrible my fate was. I hadn't even gotten over what happened between me and Emilianna and now I was the target for someone else. It was tiring and as my eyes closed, I prayed it would be the last time I would have to feel this earthly pain.
