45: Loosing control of the beast
warning: by the end of the chapter a human will be killed and partially eaten
*Luca*I need to rest for a bit. Exhausted I fall to my knees in front of a small brook, splashing the cool water in my face. After having a bit to drink, I sit down, staring downstream, feeling lost. I have been running for hours. How far have I gone ? Where am I to go ? It doesn't seem like a good idea to go home. They will probably just wait for me there.
I hold my breath, listening if they are anywhere near. I remember some old movie where the bad guy had lost the police dogs by running through the water. So I decide to try. Right now I just need to get far away, then I can find out where to go later.
My body is protesting when I get on my feet and jump into the water. Even with my legs tired from many kilometers of running, the memory of Martin's yellow eyes and the bloo

*Davina*Lefu had called me already this Saturday morning, asking me out for dinner. And now I am hurrying down the stairs to meet him. When I spot him I stop in my track, staring at him in surprise. As he stands there in jeans and a loose, button up shirt, his hair styled fashionably instead of slicked back like I am used to, he looks even more handsome. If it hadn't been for those hypnotic blue eyes I would hardly have recognised him.Luckily I had decided at the last minute to wear the blue dress I made for Soleil's birthday and we are matching nicely..We drive to a restaurant much closer to London. When I ask why we are driving so far, he shrugs. "I want to eat in peace. Here are less chances of meeting any of my friends or the clientele from the Grotto''.Even if it isn't one of the VIP places in London, It is still a much nicer
The witch and her wolf series 47: Seeing her first kill
*Soleil*The howl of a wolf rips through the forest again. For a moment everything is silent as the grave, before yelling and noises come crashing in on me. Halfway panicked I try to remember what Tjalfe told me. The spell. Why did I say that I remembered the spell ? I can't remember it."Tjalfe I need you, are you here ?" I yell, my heart hammering like a jackhammer and I have a hard time breathing.There is no answer."You said you would protect us if we let you into the circle. Look what you've done. We trusted you". The tears start tumbling down my cheeks. I trusted you".My necklace starts glowing and a wind shoots through the trees, collecting to form a tornado outside the circle. When it dissaperate, Tjalfe steps out from the dust. "Sorry, I just had to find the opening".

*Soleil*"There are two kinds of hamram. The small ones, like the one you just saw, look like a normal wolf. They are much stronger and faster though, and besides being bloodthirsty they are basically like a normal wolf. Which means no human intellect, they can't predict our moves, but only react in the moment". Marta explains after we come inside. "The one we saw when we looked for them was a High one. They are faster than the small ones and much stronger. They are smart, almost human-like intelligence. Their big downfall is their aggressive nature, if we provoke them they lose control and attack blindly and we can use that"."Our technique of fighting the small ones is a little different. They rather flee than fight. We have to lure them out and keep their focus, until we can kill them". Gudrun ads. "This method is not usable against the high ones. It is too dangerous getting that close to them".&n

*Luca*I can no longer ignore the hard and cold surface beneath me, making it impossible to fall into a deeper sleep. Reluctantly I let go of the dream and open my eyes.Great ! Now I am laying her on a slab of rock in my fucking birthday suit. With a sight I turn to orientate myself and fly backwards when I realise that I am laying on a ledge. Carefully I lean forward, staring down into the abyss, there is at least 15 meter down. I try to remember how I ended up here, but I can hardly remember my own name right now. My tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth and I look around for somewhere to find water. There is a grotto behind me, and to the right is an animal path that disappears between some bushes.I gik up, praying that there isn't a campground filled with girl scouts behind the bushes. My new enhanced hearing, which I truly love right now, tells me there are no hu
The witch and her wolf series 50: Finally he asks
*Davina*Dinner at the fancy restaurant really is transboundary to me, but as long as I stay focussed on Lefu and our own table, I manage to abstract from everything else."Are you okay?" He asks. "You are paler than usual"."I am okay thanks". I mumble. As long as I don't drop anything or start coughing water all over the table."You better get used to it if you are to create clothes to the high and mighty ladies, like the ones here tonight". He makes a motion with his head.I gasp as I look around, recognising several very famous people, all wearing very expensive designer clothes. I bite my lip to relax myself.Lefu must have seen my growing panic, because he instantly turned the conversation to another subject and I let out a grateful sigh. I couldn't help wa

*Luca*"You are not the only one you know". Jonas voice makes me get up and look out through the bars in the big iron door."Martin said the same". I answer."You were never told how our father died". Jonas has brought a chair and sits down outside the little iron shed."I assumed he had something with the heart". I say, feeling uncertain."He was strong as a horse". Jonas huffs. "He was liquidated"."What do you mean by liquidated ?" I ask, feeling chills down my back.He sighs. "When he was young, long before he met mom, he was engaged to this woman and when he changed for the first time he was naive enough to tell her. She broke it off with him and left. So he went to her to try and talk about it". Jonas takes a beer break.
The witch and her wolf series 52: Learning of packs and alluring elves
*Soleil*I sit on the bed for a long time. After having slept the fight against the hamram and the trip to the lake with the body just seems like one of my dreams about the monsters. If I get up and walk out the door, will it turn into reality then ? The School, Davina, hormones and boys, those are all real, but the things out there… I can't even find a word to describe it. If that is reality now, if I have to kill werewolves and dump their bodies, how long can I remain Soleil then ? How can I hang with Davina and talk about boys and parties, when a monster can emerge around every corner ? And what about my mother ? How can I go back and live with her, knowing that me being there brings her life in danger too ?Meeting Tjalfe has convinced me that this is what I want to do. But when I saw the young man lying dead on the ground I realised what the choice will truly mean. It was a coincidence that it ha
The witch and her wolf series 53: Davina’s big evening
*Davina*It is like living a fantasy when the chauffeur picks me up Saturday evening. While the limo drives towards the city, I pour myself a glass of champagne and allow myself to dream of a spot in Lefu's world."When I am a rich and famous designer I so need one of these". I mumble, letting my fingers run over the soft leather seat.The line of cars for the gallery opening started several blocks from the gallery, so we are rolling along slowly behind the others. I sit watching out the window as we get closer. Lefu had not been lying. This is so far above anything I have ever tried. Exactly like in movies a red carpet appears, each side of it lined with shining stanchions holding a red velvet robe. Everywhere there are onlookers, press and photographers, apparently some really big stars are attending.I am about to panic and ask the
