My goodbye

Chance Encounter

There were different leads we had to follow and could not risk our trail going cold Levi and I separated, each pursuing a different one.

We kept constant communication, sharing our intel. I went out for recon since I couldn’t sleep and went deeper into the forest. I caught a strange scent and felt a menacing aura. Could this be the king? My anger overtook any common sense I might have had left and I ran towards the scent.

I found myself in front of a small cabin barely visible, it used the trees and nature as camouflage.

I began to scout the area looking for a threat. I feel a shift in the air and a presence behind me, I attack.

A loud thud accompanied by a menacing growl. I take my fighting stance and adjust my vision. Never did I expect to come face to face with a Lycan, much less one that towered over me so much.

He comes towards me I can hardly dodge; he is so damn fast. Before I have a chance to turn, he has me pinned by the neck against the cabin. I use his body to hoist my self higher with my legs, managing to get higher and twist a bit I elbow him a few times until his grip weakens. Taking the opportunity to break out of his hold I clawed his neck and chest unable to reach his heart.

I decide to choke him with my legs, he starts clawing at them to release my blood pouring down his chest I release. I clawed his Achilles tendon making him fall.

We exchange a few blows, I could have killed him already, what am I waiting for? I go in for the kill stopping at the last moment. He looked at me with such pain and sorrow for a brief second and I hesitated.

The adrenaline leaving my body and passing out from the blood loss.

For f***s sake not again. Wait, how am I not dead? I open my eyes to see a large man passed out under me. I guess we both passed out.

I jolt off his body kicking him awake. Who are you? I know he is not the rogue king since he is Lycan. With a crooked smile he kicks my leg in and I fall to the ground. What the hell? Doesn’t feel nice now does it? Touché.

He gets up ignoring my question, I asked you a question or do I need to beat your ass again? Hmph you didn’t win I’m still standing. Curiosity still getting the best of me, why would a Lycan be out here all alone they are royalty due to their superior abilities.

Just leave he answered. Like hell I will. Grunting he goes into his cabin, and I follow. I don’t recall inviting you in. Well at least you know I’m not a vampire I joked. I saw a small smile playing on his lips as he moved his head side to side calling me a pain.

He sat starring at me, for such a small creature you do pack a punch. Was that meant as a compliment? I scoff. What brings you out here? Well Mr. Lycan we can have a conversation once I know your name.

I tend to have a bad habit of not asking for that piece if information upon meeting someone.

He starred at me for a solid 10 minutes before he said Maximus. Wow it takes that much concentration for you to say your name, I should take it easy with the big questions huh? What’s yours? Char-lotte if that’s to complicated you can call me Charley. His annoyance growing by the second at the mocking tone, I was using.
