PASSION UNLEASHED; A WEREWOLF'S CURSE

CHAPTER FIVE

The villagers had thrown a celebration to honor their past fallen heroes. This was part of the thing Moonvale never joked about; they were almost lost in the grief of Alexander's death.

There was a lot to eat and drink.

Performance by dancers and game players.

Visitors from nearby villages came and some fortune tellers.

They all had time to show off what they brought.

A villager asked out of curiosity "Are we attacked by a wolf or are we suffering a curse?"

Laughter filled the air as they all thought what was asked was irrelevant.

Then a voice from the crowd commanding attention said "The scar on the two dead victims had no resemblance of a wolf attack."

Another man voiced "I saw it jump on Alexander"

The voice replied "And you are so certain it's a wolf?"

"It was bigger than a wolf. The creature looked like a wolf but bigger."

The voice replied "That's a werewolf, it will only attack to accomplish a purpose. After that, be rested assured, Moonvale is still in danger."

He let out a deep sigh.

"And the werewolf is amongst you or someone who practiced a spell and it failed. She is a werewolf by birth, keeping watch for the most isolated among you, one who possesses something extraordinary and different, and lastly, a witch. "

Once again, laughter filled the air..as they all went back to merry, some became conscious and looked out for themselves.

Emma was dragged into the gathering by Ella. Emma recognized the hand and quickly looked up at the face, realizing it was Ella. She raised a brow, asking "I thought you never wanted to speak to me again?"

"I went through the most grievous phase of life. I lost my sister, and you failed to comfort me as my best friend"

Ella looked at her, guilt fell heavy upon her but she shook it off and rendered a less concerned apology, then rushed the conversation to why she had been dragged.

"Look, he asked me for a dance. He was waiting for me."

Her cheeks turned pink, she rubbed her palms against each other, standing on her toes.

"Who?"Emma looked into the crowd to find who Ella was talking about. Ella pointed to where a guy sat facing the Bartende. Emma didn't get a clear sight of who it was as it was dark and the place was crowded. Ella then dragged her into the crowd toward the guy she talked to Emma about earlier.

*Taps him *

He smiled at her, making her blush even more. "I was waiting for you, can we?" he offered her his arms so she could step in and dance with the others. As he moved, Emma looked at him and realized he was Jeff. Their eyes met, but Jeff was not going to abandon Ella on the dance floor and go after Emma like the gentleman he is…

While dancing with Ella, his eyes were fixed on Emma and Emma's eyes were fixed on his while she stood alone and waited for him to finish.

"Can I have your first dance?" Ryan whispered in Emma's ear.

She was more pleased to hear this request as she wanted to get back at Jeff. She gave Ryan a warm smile and answered back.

"Sure, my love."

She lost eye contact with Jeff as she turned to dance with Ryan. She felt at ease knowing that she wasn't betraying her sister because Ryan and Sarah were half-siblings. She placed her left hand on his shoulder and the other in his palm. She laid it on his chest listening closely to his heartbeat, she closed her eyes and made the moment even more lovely.

She then said, "Ryan, how are you feeling?"

Ryan let out a long sigh and then replied "The universe has chosen to leave me to myself".

"Your dad was a great man. I've never encountered him"

"I wish you did" claps came from the watching audience as the song ended.

Ryan then bowed to leave, then placed a silver bracelet in her palm. "I have lost two, I don't want to lose another.

He then walked out, and Emma's jaw dropped.

Jeff rushed in and grabbed her arms, taking her away from the crowd so they could converse,

"What was the meaning of that?" he asked in a demanding tone.

"You had Ella. What was I supposed to do?"

Looking at her straight in the eyes, he shut her up by locking his lips with hers, then pulled out to say "You drive me a nut, I love you"

Emma used her left hand to pull his head in for a more intense kiss, her right hand running from his chest to his back and all over his body. He pinned her against the wall, putting his left hand on her dress to get a grip of her right breast. She used her right hand to undress herself for him, their lips still locked in a passionate kiss, his left hand still caressing her breast. She whispered moans into his ears. He unpinned her about to get laid and undress. Their moment was interrupted.

"Emma" Ella called out,

Jeff ran and hid in the dark.

"Emma" Ella called again.

"Ella, I'm here" Emma answered, walking to her.

Out of concern, Ella said

"Why would you be here all alone? Do you know there is a werewolf and its target is Moonvale?"

Emma was about to reply. Ella heard this but was not sure what it was about. She listened closely "The werewolf is here. "

"fire"

"it seems to be a strong breed"

She heard and realized it was the werewolf Ella talked about that had just attacked Moonvale. She sought a shield to hide with Ella. It appeared as if all was calm and the werewolf had vanished. She came out of her hideout with Ella and the werewolf from nowhere ran towards their direction, then stood in front of them with her gaze straight into its eyes. All the gunshots aimed at it didn't injure it,

Looking into the eyes of the werewolf, she could see it had the same eyes as a human, a sharp black pupil.

"I was looking for you" These words echoed to Emma. She searched for who had spoken these words to her and the voice said again.

"You should come with me. We belong together "

Emma, noticing it was the werewolf speaking, argues in disagreement. " I'm nothing like you."

The werewolf; "but you killed your sister "

Emma; "You killed my sister, not me."

The shots from the gun became unbearable for the werewolf, so he had to flee.

Emma, yet to understand what had just transpired, thought to herself unconscious of when she spoke to Ella's hearing

"How could I've understood the werewolf?"
