"Turner," my mom said in a frightening tone at his appearance.Turner was painted with blood."Morning Ms. Gwen," Turner said in a low voice as he grabbed my hand and began to pull me from the house."No, Turner," I wanted him to stop."Turner," my mom chased after him and stopped him.His head turned to my mom steadily, disturbingly, not wanting to be bothered.He gave me an uncomfortable feeling in my gut instantly.I leered at Turner as he silently looked at my mom for why she had stopped him, his hand never left me as he did. Turner was starting to scare me, he looked possessed."Turner, I know you're anxious to take her home, but you can't take her home without her belongings," my mom tried to have a conversation with him, seeing he was not in a talkative nor a friendly mood. He only needed what he came for and that was me.His hand finally left mine.I soothed my wrist releasing the ache from his grasp."Let her pack now, I'll be waiting on her," his weary voice commanded.My mo
I was awoken by a tight grip around my draw line and a hard shake.“It’s not time to die, Little Red,” Turner's lips greeted me with a smile.He shoved me against the wall of his bedroom and sat on the edge of his bed.I huddled against the wall, scared of him.“You have no idea how it hurts to pretend as if I liked you and to be shamed and ridiculed by you repeatedly. When I just want to hurt you,” he complained.“Now, how does it feel that I never did and that it was all a part of my plan in waiting for the right time to get you to be mine?” asked Turner.I looked at him as a deranged man. He was indeed by his loud crazy laughter.“Tell me how it feels, little red,” he slowly approached me.I pushed myself across the room with every step he took closer to me.I screamed and my head turned away as he held my long red hair. I heard him sniffing my hair, like fresh air, inhaling every scent.“I’ve always admired your hair as much as I can’t stand you,” I heard Turner at my side.I scre
After Bazaar had left, I've come to realize that the blood-eyed werewolf wasn't saving me, it was only taking its revenge on Turner. As much as I loathed Turner for hurting me. It was sad he had to go down like that. He sowed what he reaped so I guess it was bound to happen."Are you sure you're not hungry, I don't want you to sleep on an empty stomach," my mom entered my room?"I am," I told her."Okay, do you want me to sleep beside you in case you become scared?""I'll be fine mom," I assured her.My mom kissed me and went to her room.I lay in bed and looked through a tiny hole in my ceiling at the sky. I was able to see a single star. It felt good to be back home and to no longer be blackmailed by Turner, but deep down I wished he wasn't so evil. The kiss he gave me, I'm ashamed to say that we could have lived as a close couple.I curled up on my sheet as my mind recollected seeing the blood eyes wolf in his human form, only a shadow of him. He was very tall, taller than Turner.
How could it be? how could he still be alive? I remembered seeing his lifeless body lying on the floor of his living room, covered in blood. He's supposed to be dead.Turner was attired in a white linen shirt with short sleeves accompanied by long khaki pants. His blonde shaggy hair rested stylishly on his face. He looked as if he had never been attacked by a werewolf. I examined his body searching for any bruised or marks I could somehow see. I saw none.Turner made his way to the front of the crowd. He was immediately surrounded by a group of werewolf protectors and hunters with arrows aimed at him.I moved my hand from Bazaar petrified."I'm not a werewolf," said Turner as a single hand reached into his pocket."Move again and you'll be killed," warned one of the protectors."Be calm, I'm just searching for wolfbanes to show you I'm not one of those disgusting creatures," said Turner."Shut up," the protector again warned him."Let him show us," Bazaar walked to the end of the stag
My back rested on the back of the trees and I pulled myself down to sit. I felt weak at the news. I had to save my mom. I needed to. It was me Turner wanted, not her. Poor my mom, she must be so scared, I worried.I waited for the hunter and the protector who was still inside my house searching for any clues that could lead them to Turner. I turned around and stood once I heard them leaving the house. I listened attentively for any clue that could help me find Turner, they said nothing going their way."The leader partner has run away," I saw the guard Bazaar had left to watch over me, approached the three worried. I covered my mouth not wanting to reveal my hiding spot."For how long?" asked the protector."I'm not sure, she was in the bathroom and when I got tired of waiting I went to unlock the door to check on her but she was not in the bathroom," retorted the guard."You, stay here," the hunter ordered one of the protectors. "She might be on her way here searching for her mom or
I screamed feeling the heat of the fire ready to burn me alive. Suddenly a loud crashing sound made Bazaar immediately move the torch away from me. He looked around searching for where the sound came from."A werewolf!" one shouted within the crowd.Soon the crowd of people began running and screaming for their lives."Guards find that werewolf and kill him!" Bazaar shouted angrily."It's you who called the werewolf didn't you, werewolf witch?" Bazaar said angrily at me as he held the torch to my face."No, it wasn't me" I cried scared as I turn my face aside trying to get away from the hot heat."It will be too late to save you, for you will be ashes," said Bazaar as he threw the flaming torch to my feet.I screamed as I watched it make its way to the woods covered in gasoline. A huge fire appears to burn my flesh. Suddenly and strangely I found myself away from the fire. How was I freed from the fire? I looked at my hand seeing the ropes were gone, and on my dress, I was freed witho
Alpha Deucalion and I was surrounded by a crowd of werewolves, men, woman, and children, within their human forms. Their eyes leered at me shocked by my presence. I felt tense by there none stop gazing. I wanted to hide within Alpha Deucalion's fur but I was scared he would command me to reveal myself to his kind again."Brother, how dare you to carry a human to our secret place," the dark-haired and blue-eyed female again spoke, who was still standing before us.I discovered she was Alpha Deucalion's sister.Alpha Deucalion growled at her, causing me to become even more frightened."How dare you question me?" he spoke to her."Brother, it's not safe for our pups and the non-fighters to be involved with a human, what if she tells her kind our hiding spot? things will not turn out so great for us, since they've found another weakness of us," complained his sister."I won't," I answered, instead of allowing her brother, Alpha Deucalion to speak.She gave me an angry look and growled at
"I am," I said softly as I sat up and rubbed my neck trying to release the pain.Cali could not stop staring at me. She was surprised that I was the little girl who saved her brother 12 years ago."I'm sorry," she soon apologized.I was quite surprised by her reply I just stared at her."You're welcome," I had finally retorted."My brother could have died on that day, but you a human decided to save him," she said.I nodded."Why did you decide to save him?" she asked.My head turned away, ready to give her an answer."I guess I saw more human within him when I saved him," I told her."If my mom and dad were here, they would be very pleased to meet you," she told me.My head went back to her. And I was surprised to see a smile on her face."I'm sorry again for trying to kill you," she again apologized."Did your brother ever talk about me a lot after I'd saved him?" I asked. I just had to know."Yes," Cali spun around as she answered."You helping him, he used to draw pictures of you
Bazaar body was burned from our land and houses were starting to rebuild. Everyone was looking forward to their new life. A life free of being hunted and killed by werewolves knowing Alpha Deucalion and his pack was no harm to us. The day Alpha Deucalion left. I haven't seen him for days, which felt like months. I understand he and his pack were starting a new life free from Bazaar like us. They were building their new home. I missed him. I yearned to see him again. As the new leader of the land, my mom and I moved into Bazaar's large home. While my mom was decorating the house and trying to make it feel like a home should. I was busy with Daniele teaching me to be the new leader. We have gotten close and I see that he was a friendly and understanding person. Daniele was 23, 1 year older than Alpha Deucalion, and 5 years older than me. Just as Alpha Deucalion he acted mature for his age. They both showed great leadership. I tried asking him to take my title as the new leader of the
They carried me to Bazaar. I watched him with bitterness in my heart as he calm down a panicking crowd."Don't worry everyone. We are all safe. The wall will help protect us," he told them."Leader, we've caught the outcast," the guard who held me interrupted him.Bazaar turned around. My face made in anger and my eyes motioned from his face staring at where his left arm was. During the battle between him and Alpha Deucalion, he lost his left arm. He was one-handed.Bazaar walked up to me gravely. His eyes never left me as he did.Silently, the crowd watched him."You are the cause of what is happening now, werewolf witch," he falsely accused me."You know I'm not," I retorted angrily, returning every one of his stares.Bazaar was infuriated by my respond"Cut her throat!" he ordered his men and spun around hastily walking away.I was petrified when I saw the guard reaches for a knife from his side."You may kill me under one condition," I spoke terrified.The guard's knife paused at
The forest was cold after the rain. There were no dry spots to sleep and the night was much darker since we were deep within the forest. None of it bothered the werewolves. Unlike me, they could see clearly in the night and they have furs to keep them warm.I stood beside Alpha Deucalion as he watches his pack rest for the night. The clothes I was still in were wet. My body shivers cold. I leaned against him trying to find warmth in his fur."Follow me," he told.I did, not questioning where he was taking me.We stopped at a large tree away from everyone. Where they could not see us."Take off your clothes," Alpha Deucalion instructed me.I was surprised by his remark. I froze speechlessly."Do as I say," he again instructed me.My head kept away from his. I was afraid to. I felt uncomfortable stripping myself before a man much less a werewolf. I've never done it before.Alpha Deucalion sense I was tense by his remark."You'll become sick if you allow your clothes to be dry on you," h
Alpha Deucalion was filled with wrath when he saw Bazaar. His blood was boiling for revenge. He growled showing his sharp teeth and speedily ran to him."Kill him!" Bazaar ordered his men.His men shifted and stormed after the alpha ready for their kill.I ran for cover inside a building terrified. From a broken window I watched worriedly as alpha Deucalion fought with the six werewolves. They were no match for him. He killed one in less than a minute ripping their heads from their body, and sputtering blood all over the ground. Each time he made a kill, the heavy rain pouring down washed away their blood. As if it was cleaning up after him. It was now down to two werewolves competing against the powerful alpha. My eyes motioned to Bazaar standing in the rain."Kill him you weakling!" he shouted infuriated. Knowing he was losing, badly. None of his men could kill Alpha Deucalion. They were no match for him.Alpha Deucalion growled with rage at Bazaar, killing the last werewolf. I cove
Hastily, I covered his naked, bloody body with the cape. I watched his beautiful face, admiring him as he was unconscious.I looked around knowing it was not safe. If any more werewolves should find us, we would both be dead."Alpha Deucalion," I gently touched his face trying to wake him up.His face was so soft and smooth. The touch of the skin of his face was pleasing to my hand.He wasn't responding. Again I called him, but still, he wasn't. We had to leave.I gently rested his head on the ground. Both hands went under his arms and I began to pull him to the witch's cave. We'd be safe there until he's conscious again, I assumed.He was heavy but I was determined to save his life. I had managed to get him inside. As I did, I return outside and conceal the traces of the path I had pulled him. I hurriedly return inside and locked the door. I searched for any weapon that could protect us until he was awakened. I had managed to find a wolfsbane and a bow with an arrow that seemed to be
Long ago when I was a little girl before the werewolves attacked the village, I once used to call home. My dad used to tell me stories about witches that dwelled not too far from our village in the hoods, where no sounds were made, no wind blew and everything was still there, even the waters. He used to tell me stories about witches with unbelievable abilities that were very strange to us humans. Witches that had the powers to see the future, to heal, to speak to the dead, and possess the soul of us, humans. I used to be scared of these frightening stories, but soon I had gotten to love them. Knowing that there were beings with such unique abilities I didn't know if these stories were really true, these stories were just stories told by my father's parents and then he told me as they told him when he was too young. "Witches, in the hoods from my old village," I told Alpha Deucalion. I thought Alpha Deucalion would be interested in my response but he just walked away. I chased him.
Cali knows that I had fallen for his brother, Alpha Deucalion. I was becoming worried that she might tell him. It would be quite humiliating for me if the powerful alpha knows that a human was crushing over him. I walked to her room. "Cali," I called knocking on her door. She opened the door. A curious look appears on her face to know why I was there. "Can I come in?" I asked, needing to speak to her secretly. "Sure," she retorted. She closed the door as I entered and spun around. "I want to talk to you about what you last said to me in the living room," I told her as I lowered my head, nervously. She nodded. "I've never meant to make you feel bad in any way, I just want to warn you Red about falling for someone who will never be yours," said Cali. "I understand," I retorted as my head went to hers. "I just don't want you to tell him anything about it and let us just forget it," I told her. She nodded. "I'm going to get to my room," I said as I began to leave. "Red," Cali
"I'm punished by my strict alpha brother to keep an eye on you," Cali entered my room. It was the evening.I watched her as she approached me and stood at the side of my bed."How is your head feeling now?" she asked.I touched the back of my head, gently. My face grimaced in pain."I'm feeling a slight pain," I retorted."I'll be right back," Cali left the room.Soon she was returning with a glass of water."Take this," she opened her hand.I saw within the palm of her right hand a single round white pill."It will get rid of the pain," she told me.I nodded.I took the glass cup of water from her hand and then the pill. I placed the pill in my mouth and gentle swallow it along with the water.My face made in disgust."If I'd told you it taste awful, you wouldn't have taken it," said Cali with a smile. "Anyways, it will make you feel no pain soon," she told me.I nodded.She took the empty glass cup from me and began to leave my room."Where is Alpha Deucalion?" I asked.She paused a
I couldn't believe what I had just heard. I stood still as if I was frozen."Now do you see why your plan would never have worked?" said Cali. "Bazaar as everyone wrapped around his hands. They believe every word he tells them and they trust him enough that he can save them from us."My head lowered contemplating that all the times Bazaar was on the stage lying to us when he was a threat to us all. Still, I was confused. What was truly his plan if he continued to dwell like us humans? How long will he continue to do it until they eventually find out he was too a werewolf?"He made his men kill a werewolf with wolves bane and he wrote onto her white fur a message with her blood, and made them carry her from the wall," I told Cali sadly as my head lifted to look at her."That was Penny he made them killed," she said angrily. "She was helping my brother gather information so he can better take him down for good.""I'm sorry," I apologized."She knew the causes of her job," Cali retorted.
