HER WOLF MATE

The strange man

I wasn't the partying type but somehow this ball got me excited, I woke up earlier than usual, I looked up at the clock and it was just three am, I turned on my bed and closed my eyes as I tried to go back to sleep but then, a deep, growl came from the bush, I was probably beginning to hear things cause I hadn't gotten enough sleep, so I closed my eyes again, but the growl came again, it sounded like an animal in agony, I looked out my window, it was dead dark outside, then it came again, this time it sounded more like a human in pain, I thought of going out to check what was making the noise but then I remembered all The killings and disappearance and it was dark so it was definitely not a good time to go out most especially when it sounds risky. But I was worried,what if it was a human that had just escaped death? I quietly stood up and wore my night robe, I tiptoed outside, I didn't ant to wake my dad, not when I was planning something stupid as this. I followed the sound of the growling and I was shocked by what I saw, it was a man lying half conscious, his body was covered in dry blood, he had bruises and his clothes had been torn, he had really deep wounds from claws as if he had been attacked by a wild animal, his eyes were half closed, he must have crawled out with his last strength, I pulled him out of the bush, he was damn heavy I had to stop at intervals to breathe. I got him out of the bush and he now laid on the grass, the moon shown brightly exposing his beauty, even in this critical state, he was still looking appealing, he looked like he had just crawled out of a woman's bed rather than out of his death plot, he was probably in his late twenties, his eyes reflected the moon light, I had to stop drooling if I wanted to save his life. I went back inside and brought out a bowl of water and a towel and cleaned the blood from his skin, then applied ointment on the injured parts, I took the bowl inside, then came back to inspect my job, it seemed perfect, then I noticed the ring in his index finger, it had a blood stone in the center encased in gold, it looked really expensive, then I noticed a bruises around his wrist, I went back to bring the ointment, but before I got back, he was gone, and there were no traces of him, I looked around but still no traces of him, I just stood there staring into space, who was he? what happened to him? well he seemed like a victim who had just escaped death by the skin of his teeth, "Abby." my dad's voice brought me back to reality, I turned and saw him walking towards me "are you okay? what are you doing out here?" he asked looking around, my thoughts were complex at the moment, I didn't seem to understand what my dad was saying, I was lost in thoughts, the man I saw was charming and must be rich cause of the ring "Abby." my dad shook me "since when did you begin sleep walking?" he hugged me "let's get you back to bed." he led me gently back to my bed, he tucked me in and placed a kiss on my forehead then turned off the lights and went out closing the door behind him.
