My Mate

Chapter 3: The Night

Carla left the party after a little talk to Jake. She never told anyone about her except her therapist. It's almost 6 months that she dropped her therapy. Even though it didn't help, the least she felt some stress out of her shoulder during sessions. It took 5 sessions to open up to Dr.Boris.

After confronting to Jake, she felt an urge to meet Dr.Boris. Perhaps she could voice her opinion about not taking drugs but to talk may be a right choice. She walked as lost in her thoughts. Suddenly she heard rustling noise on sidewalk. When see turned, there is no one.

Her insecurity popped on that moment. Her speed up her steps and she can hear footsteps behind her. She started run home, dare not to look back. As soon as she reached home she locked the door put out all the lights and peaked through window.

All she saw is a enormous sized wolf sniffing around. Her town is next to the forest and people often encounter huge wolves. But this was the first encounter for her and it's not the huge she imagined. All of a sudden it turned it's head to the window where she peaked. She gasped and hide behind the curtains.

After some minutes she heard rustling sound and when she peaked through the window, the road was abandoned. Releasing a sigh she turned on the light in hall and kitchen. She saw her mom sleep on dining table with one of hand hanging with whisky bottle and another held a picture of her mom and dad in their highschool graduation.

She wish she felt some weight in her heart lime someone told. She wanted something to crawl inside begging to feel something... sorry for mom, missing her dad, angry about her fate but nothing... after had a drink in empty stomach with Jake all she felt is hunger.

She made spaghetti, presented in two plates. She put one to the dining table near her mom and took another to her room. She locked herself and ate. She didn't bother to put those plates on sink just let that placed on floor beside her bed and she decided to sleep.

After few minutes, she heard creak of chair and water flowing sound in sink. She turned to face the window showing her back to her door. There is a creak of sound in her door, she shut her eyes tight. Her mom climbed on her bed, kissed her cheek, took the plate and left. Again only if she cried that night, she might be able to sleep. But she didn't.

After felt like hours she checked her phone, it was 1'o clock. She left her bed, dragged herself to her study table. There she saw the photo which her mom held before was placed. All she know is her dad met a car accident and the car caught fire, that's it. No one let her saw him. Her mom hold her while she crying to saw her dad. She didn't get a chance to say the last goodbye to him. It's all because of her mom. That's when she decided to ignore her.

After Jake threatened Martha, he rushed through the crowd to catch Carla. She lost from his sight but he sniffed through the air and started to follow. Half way through Carla turned to check on whether someone following her. He hide beside a tree, even though he wanted to follow her, he don't want to get caught, so he decided to turned into his wolf form and followed her.

After few steps she started to run without even check behind. He took advantage of that and jogged behind her. After a turn she was gone. He know she is here somewhere but he couldn't find. Jake sniffed around the air and stopped his track before a house and turned to the window. There she is. After she reached home safe, he didn't mind to take back his steps to home.

After a turn of the street he turned back to his human form. His mind is full of Carla. His nose keep sniffing her little scent on air that she left. His mind is full of her voice. That's when it clicked. What if... it's him. He decided to visit him. He didn't even bothered that it was past midnight and that person will get pissed if he showed up after years of neglecting him.
