All Chapters of The wolf in the woods: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Nicole had just been woken up by weird noises that seemed to be coming from the sitting room downstairs, the sixteen year old was scared and confused. Sitting up slowly, she impulsively called out to her parents but there was no answer. Curious, she decided to slowly check out what the noise was. As soon as she opened her door, the muffled noise seemed to have become more pure and now she was listening to what seemed to be a struggle. Fear gripped her even more but she kept on walking as slow as she could, making her way down the staircase. Just a few stairs to go, and she realized there was a stranger in their house and her dad was struggling with a man. The individual had a mask on, concealing his face from them. He wore a black leather coat, he dressed like the other guys who had been coming after them all this while. One thing all the men had in common was that they had superhuman strength to an extent. The events played out quite fast, fear kept her locked in her posit

The clouds had darkened and thunder rumbled. The trees rustled, the sky dusked and the shadows grew long. “Is it about to rain?” Nicole asked Henry, who was just standing by the window glaring into the woods. “I think so,” he replied to her. “Oh! I do not like rains though, I might catch a cold,” she told Henry, “maybe some of your warmth could help,” Nicole suggested to him, she wanted a curdle from him. Henry paused for a while, he pretended as if he could not hear a word she said before he suggested, “I could get you a blanket or something,” “that would be suitable, I guess.” She told him. “I would be back, please do not go anywhere,” he begged of her. “I will not, but why can you leave and I can not?” she asked him, as she fixed her confused look upon him. “it is not quite safe for you to be out alone in this treacherous forests,” he explained to her, “moreover, you are still recovering from your injuries,” he said. “I definitely

“Hmm, so what could this mysterious thing that you want me to see be?” Nicole questioned him. “You will know,” he replied to her, deep down Henry was conflicted about telling her the truth. “We would take a walk into the woods, it is probably going to be our first walk since you recovered,” he told her. Once he uttered the word ‘recovered’ it seemed to have triggered some sort of memory loop in her mind. Another set of memories flashed through her head, this time it seemed to be the last moments just before an accident. She froze in her tracks for a while, unable to speak or move. “are you alright?” Henry asked her, it seemed like Nicole had blanked out yet she was still awake but she made no reply to him. “what is wrong?” he asked again in a more worried tone, this time he grabbed her by the shoulders and tried getting her attention. She snapped out from what seemed to be a trance, her memories were returning and they were returning fast. “what the hell was t

Just as Nicole was trying avoid waking Henry up, she unknowingly nudged him a little bit waking him up. Twisting and turning, Henry woke up. His eyes struggling to remain steady as he tried holding them open, “Good morning,” Nicole uttered quietly, “I did not mean to wake you up,” she added, feeling quite remorseful for breaking his beauty sleep. “Oh please, it is fine. Moreover I seem to have overslept a bit,” he replied to Nicole. “Anyway, I hope you had a good night sleep?” he inquired. “Of course dear, staying by your side always keeps me at peace,” she said to him, “You look handsome when you sleep,” she commented. “really? You are even more attractive regardless of the situation,” he replied, “Wait a minute!” Henry exclaimed as he began turning his head around like he was in search of something. “what is it?” Nicole asked Henry, she was confused with the sudden mood change. “Do you know what the time is?” he asked, “I think I am already late fo

When she finally managed to regain consciousness the next day, her memories had fully been regained. The first thing that occurred to her was the fact that everything hurt. Everything throbbed in pain. She tried to move but it all felt wrong. When she attempted to turn over, a wave of nausea overtook her and she felt something wet dripping down her chin. That's when her eyes snapped open, staring at nothing. Her head felt like someone had jammed cotton balls inside it, and she could barely move. Where am I? As if summoned by her thoughts, there was a soft, familiar voice speaking. She strained her ears, trying to catch what was being said. “Hey, Nicole. How are you feeling?” Who… She tried to speak, but found that her mouth felt incredibly dry. The sound only came out as a croak. Her throat was burning. As she opened her mouth again, however, another unfamiliar voice spoke up. “Don't strain yourself just yet, Nicole." Henry said to her, "you blacked out since yesterday, I've ne
