THE MEETING
607 Words
These wild reflexes are probably my inner wolf. Wait a minute! When did I adopt him and he became my wolf? Anyway, I'm not in a position to question that. I'm under attack. I'm facing a pack of about twenty wolves. And they clearly don't have good intentions. And I'm the only one with them.
Damn it! I don't stand a chance!
This time another wolf lunges at me and this time I run, but I can't even run properly! My feet get tangled. I panic.
"Calm down and let me take care of you..." says the wolf in me. "Calm down. I will save us and take us to safety."
When I hear the sound of my wolf's voice, I give myself to it again and suddenly, unexpectedly, I feel calm. When I start to use my legs more properly, I realize that my wolf is in control. But I am still aware that I am running out of strength and I don't know how much longer I can hold on.
I run very fast and suddenly the woodland ends. Instead a green plain stretches endlessly. I see houses arranged in a certain order, as if they all revolve around one house. I turn around and look back. The wolves are watching me as if they are stuck in the forest, unable to move forward. I think the wolves cannot enter this area. The wolves chasing me are all standing at the end of the forest, snarling and watching me.
Wherever this place is, I think it's saving me from them right now. Coming here is the wolf in me. Moments later, the wolves that had been snarling at me scatter and leave me alone.
When I'm alone, I look around. This seems to be a pretty big town. And the houses are much bigger than a normal house.
I hope I don't get in trouble here!
I want to go further and move more, but I can't. I can't move. I start to cry out in pain once more. All my bones start to break.
"Aaaahh!" I say. My growl turns into a human voice. I transform. This pain is unlike any pain I have ever felt. I scream in agony and collapse to the ground. As I tremble on the ground, the tears flowing from my eyes prevent me from seeing my surroundings. Everything looks blurry.
I hear sounds I can't understand. It is as if I hear wolves howling in the forest, but one sound I hear very clearly is the sound of a door opening. As I tremble on the ground, I hear the sound of someone's hard footsteps approaching me. Tears roll down my cheeks and through my misty eyes I vaguely see a pair of sneakers.
I'm lying on the floor, sprawled and naked. A stranger is looking down on me, but I can't escape. I can't protect myself. I see a broad-shouldered man watching me. I'm shaking naked on the floor in tears.
I growl at him out of self-preservation instinct but it only makes him laugh. Seconds later my hair completely disappears and I am completely transformed into human form. I am naked and cold in front of him. The man puts his jacket over me and wraps his arms around me. He puts his arms under my legs and waist and embraces me. I can't resist because I have no energy. He takes me in his arms.
I can feel his hot breath on my skin and a warmth fills me.
I hear one last voice before I sink into the darkness of my mind.
"Welcome, darling..."
