Tale of the Unicorn

Ximena's P.O.V.  I felt the sweat rushed down to my chin as I felt my feet getting numb. I was running, chasing someone that they sometimes called, robber. I am not a superhero or the girl with a super power chasing criminals with their suits 'cause I am just an ordinary girl who live her life that seems usual to crowd.  On my state right now, I am this dumbfounded girl who was chasing people who are not involve to my life or maybe I was just helping someone who got robbed. Not to brag I am an athlete on our university under track and field so that I don't find myself easy to get tired.  I was chasing this guy in black hoodie and nonetheless, I am doing this for good I guess? He was holding a bag on his right hand and holding a knife on his left hand. He was left handed based on where he was holding on. I am soaked. I am soaked with my own sweat and seems like I was bathed the whole chasing just a mere criminal. I am in my uniform and supposedly, I should be taking my way heading to Laluna University where I am currently studying right now.  Why am I doing this? I saw an old lady passing the street a while back but this guy took her bag and run that seems no one saw what he did. And there was this me, chased him dumbfounded and trying to do what can I do. I hate my look now. I am in my uniform, soaked and wearing a short skirt. I am Eighteen now and currently taking a Film course. Don't need to know why I take this course or should I say, I just love creating stories.  He was heading to the dirty market and I figured out since he entered that shortcut going to that place. I always figured thing that can be an easy one for me. I always love mysteries and even detective games. I don't have a mind that an IQ of 120 and above but bare with me, I am smarter than you. He was fast. The guy who robbed a bag and that should not be tolerated. I think, He's only a minor and also a student base on his postures. He ran fast and so as I. I took the shortcut since he will gonna ended up there, in a place where everything can't stumble in. As I enter into that shortcut, darkness embraces me and only a dot of light can be seen from far. I just let it slide since I am not afraid of nothing but only one.  When I finally arrived, there he is. Running and his attention was on his back, checking if I am still following him. And I want to congratulate him for being' such an i***t. Pity! When he will go to turn his attention on his front, he immediately saw me but only an inch apart us and for him to be late now to escape because my fist was ready to hit some bastard.  To my surprise, He was wearing a black mask that immediately shines when the radiation of the sun hits its edges. It took me awhile to realize that he already escaped. I was shocked since he just disappeared in front of me. He seems like he teleport from front to back. Is this some kind of hallucination? I checked but he already at my back and readily receives his punch. Lucky he, my reflexes immediately reacted and that's when I duck in surprise.  I can't see his face. I don't even know whether he is a girl or guy. But based on his posture, he can be concluded as guy since he has a body built.  I am just staring at him and so as he. We are on four sides room and no one can escape easily since it was tight. This place is nowhere to find in other's vision and only me and my friends since this is our place where we can jam all day and night.  To be honest, I like his mask. This mask is those can be used in masquerade ball or party that you can be easily stunning to crowd's sight. I am uncertain, what lies behind this beautiful mask? "You don't have to chase me 'cause you don't know me." Husky and I find it sexy when he uttered those words behind that mask. He really is a guy. "Do you know who I am at least?" I sarcastically said to him.  "You'll regret if you dare knowing what's behind this mask, young lady." He warned but in pleasing way. "Oh, I'm threatened sir."  "You must be." He again replied to my sarcasm.  "Why don't we settle a good deal, aren't we?" I asked in soft voice and trying to convince him. In this case, no one will go to any harm. "Okay, let's make this as simple as---."  "What are you trying to say, Young Lady?" He immediately enters without even finishing my line. How rude isn't it? I just let out a deep sighed and trying to be nice still. In any moment, I can be out to burst. I grinned. But immediately turned into sweet smile as my attention landed to what he is holding on. "That." I just said in low tone as I pointed where I am pointing was.  "Why are you into this?" He then asked from nowhere and pertaining to the bag he was holding on. "You don't even know what this is." He straight said to my face. I even went to realization, why? Is his intelligent enough to be this philosophical mind terminator? Instead of answering his question, I better not to and suddenly landed my attention to his eyes since it was the only part that is not covered by the mask. It was an ash blue filled with sadness and desire. It was filled with one emotion where it can be hard to examine. I want to see his face. Damn. I am obsessed to remove that mask to see what's behind that mask and behind that manly voice. I want to see what fantasy behind that dark mask. I did not control myself. I immediately ran towards him but to my surprise he's eyes turned into surprise not because of what I did. He then also ran towards me and to my surprise, he uttered some words. "Watch out, young Lady!" He voiced me out. Then he grabbed me from his arms and my arm goes in his mask. I did not pay attention to what he meant but I felt something appeared from my back.  Too late, we got teleport to the other side of this place. Black smoke covered the whole area and nothing to be seen. And when I said teleport, I mean it. I thought what I saw awhile is just an hallucination but it just proved me, I am wrong, He really is something not normal. I felt goose bumps as it registered to my mind. I felt my hands holding something and when the black smoke vanished, there in my hand was his mask. I removed his masked. I immediately turn my head towards his face but nothing can be seen since the dark smoke still thick. When the smoke already went down, my attention draws to where we are lately.  To my surprise, there are three men in black coat and fiercely glaring towards us. They are kinda mysterious but can be deadly since they came from nowhere.  "Wolves." He uttered. I drew my attention towards his face and there, I saw his face. He has a prominent nose and bearded eyebrows. He has a fair skin and deep blue eyes. As I am staring at him, wind gently pushed his hood causing it to fall. His hair fits to his face and it was black. A total black. He's a good looking one but it has nothing to do with me. "Staring is rude." He then speaks where I caught off guard. I immediately rose from what I am doing lately. I was lured from his beauty. "Who said?" I replied. I withdraw my attention and immediately went to those known Wolves. I am literally not aware or what appropriate reaction should I make since I don't have any Idea who they are or what they are. "You should be cautious, Miss." He warns me. "You don't know who they are." "I don't have time to know them." I sarcastically said but he just sighed. "You should not be here." He then became sound so serious. "Never let yourself stumbling in this domain."He continued but left in my mind a confusion. Everything I saw lately was not as usual as what I've experienced long ago. Either way, I am into fantasy novels so I love unusual things and it has no effect to me at all now. If I have super powers, I would be very grateful tho.  I am about to talk to him but he suddenly disappears and to my surprise, he teleport above the castle like tower behind those three men. He prepare himself and immediately jumps. There is this smoke behind him, black and scary that formed into a sheep. Another question came into my mind as I hardly plotting everything about what's happening. The environment where we are, suddenly change into a forest, dark and a full moon. When he jumped on the small castle tower everything went into another dimension or it's just an illusion. His silhouette centered above the moon projecting his body as black smoke appeared and embraces him, a sheep-like smoke. What's going on?  First, there are wolves. Then there is him, the sheep but black. Am I seeing the true fantasy? Or am I just imagining things?  I felt dizzy, no I felt strange into myself. The world where I am starting to shake that made me more dizzy and dazed.  Before everything went to darkness. I saw the guy kills the three wolves and his bare hands were full of blood. He was soaked on his own sweat and blood splashed on his clothes. He then drew his attention to me and there his eyes covered in red and glowing like the stars. He seems demonic. "He's deadly." The last word I uttered before I lose consciousness. But I heard him shout my name.  "Ximena."
