Evalyn Javernick
It is cold, very cold. I felt my pulse getting faster as I sprinted through the forest. Imprints of my barefoot visible on the moss forest ground of New Mullion.
The air around me started getting more thicker as I started running faster. My pursuers turned into their beautiful beasts. Gaining speed. I felt my canines brush against my lips as I transformed into my wolf.
I sprint into the forest fast as I can. Soon losing them. I did the mistake of stopping and looking back whether I lost them or not. I felt the wolfs before I saw them. There presence engulfing me.
My pursuers continued chasing me as if I am the only lone wolf in the forest. They had been hunting me for the past five years. Failing every time.
However, something was different this time, it seemed as if this time the wolves chasing me were much faster and stronger. They found me every time regardless the number of times I struggled to hide but failing in capturing me.
The Alpha must have sent his greatest and strongest warriors. He wanted me captured just like any other wolf. I had been running for a while now. My limbs turning sore, cramps forming. It has been a while since I had run for my life.
I could feel the beams of moonlight radiating on my fur, replenishing my strength. I run fast as I can do. Making sure they could not find my trail for a few minutes.
I continued running, searching for the road. Where was the road? I panicked for a moment. Desperate not to get caught. I run faster than I ever ran in my entire life. It is either death or freedom.
As I was running, I found the road. I quietly shifted back to my human form creeping among the shadows. The cold air a balm to my heated skin. I slowly crept away from the forest. I turned and peered into the darkness, finding that I have lost my pursuers. My fear and panic eased down as seconds flied past, I felt my n*****s turn erect in the cold air. I groaned in frustration. As I crept away from the forest, I saw the Gas Station where I had parked my car. I made sure no one spotted me as I moved towards my car silently. I slipped through the driver seat and reached for my evening bag which was stashed under the backseat. I quickly changed into the spare clothes and drove towards my flat.
The panic welled in my throat eased down as the town came into my view. A quiet, peaceful town ruled by Alpha- Santiago not only this town but also some of the neighboring towns. He is one of the most dangerous and strongest Alpha as he is a purebred.As per the werewolf laws no werewolf can kill any other werewolf or human in the town grounds. Humans lived almost everywhere but little did they know about the dangers residing in the shadow and darkness.
I snapped out of my thoughts and averted my eyes to the road. Reaching my small apartment. I pulled over in the garage. I stepped out of my car and scanned my surroundings, satisfied that there is no danger lingering. I made a move towards the stairs.
I heard a ringing noise and I took a fighting stance. Realizing it was my phone I picked it up and found twenty missed calls. Fifteen from Arial and five from my Boss also known as Ethan. f**k.
Arial is my human friend who knows nothing about werewolves. I have been friends with her over a year. She is innocent and funny. We both work in the same company and naturally became friends.
I picked up her call.
“Eva!! What happened? I am been trying to reach you for over an hour.” She shouted at me. Sounding angry and panicked.
“Sorry I went out for a jog and left my phone in the car.” I mumbled an apology.
“I swear to god. I was so scared for you. I did not know what to do. I called Ethan and told him, and he became angry ” She muttered.
“Oh my god. Why did you call him? b***h” s**t. Ethan is going to kill me now.
“Sorry I thought you were dead or something.” She replied sounding sorry.
“Okay, Okay calm down. I am sorry”. I laughed. Little did she know how close I was to death.
“What is so funny?′
“Nothing” I yawned sounding exhausted.“Oh, I think you should take a nice hot shower and sleep.” She suggested.
“Thank you for the idea mom. I was planning to that before you called me and started lecturing me” I said sarcastically.
“Oof bye. Take care. Call me tomorrow.” She said and cut the call.
I made it to my flat. I tried opening the door, fumbling every time. Annoyed I let out a growl. After a few attempts I sild the key into the hole and entered my flat. I quickly removed my clothes stepping into the shower. I scrubbed my body clean and tried to forget today’s event. I stepped into my robe and entered my bedroom. Falling onto my bed and letting the darkness consume me.
