The heart of of the beast

Liliana's home

Carlos took time to sleep, for the first time in a long time he felt at peace and free. He relaxed as he tired to sleep but Vald wanted to take control and move around for a bit, the moment Carlos eased up and closed his eyes, Vald was happy to be out. He had been in the back of Carlos mind, from the time he gained his strength back , the transformation had taken alot from him and even upto now he felt drianed and tired. He got up stretched and stood by the window and stared at the moon it was beautiful and calling to him, he started howling like an animal as he faced the moon. Liliana was alert when she heard the wolf howls , they has not been a sight of any wolf in that area in a long time she stayed still and not make any noise and prayed that the Carlo was okay and safe. The howling sounded really close which was strange with all the security lights and measures she had no animal would come this close. When the noise died out she relaxed abit and after a while drifted back to sleep.

Carlos woke up the following morning by the window, which was weird he was naked and not where he slept. How did he get here and when did he take of his clothes, he looked around but they was no signs of the clothes, he had on the previous night around were he woke up from, what happened last night. He couldn't remember much from when he went to sleep till he woke, he got up cleaned himself and got dressed went to meet Liliana, so she could tell him what he will be doing and his duties while he stayed there. He thought at least he had home cooked food and a roof over his head for now, while he figured out what he will do. He knew the people he ran from, will be looking for him and sooner or later they would reach where he was. He liked that Liliana never asked alot on him, where he was from before they got him and what why they got him and kept him alive for two year. He walked to were Liliana was checking the surrounding for any sign or footprints over the animal she heard last night. Carlos said good morning to her and she replied that she was fine just couldn't sleep, they was a aloud noise outside, like a wolf was near by or entered there yard and asked him if he saw or heard anything, Carlos said he did not hear anything as he passed out the moment his head touched the pillow. He was have realy tired from the ran and to finally sleep without fear.

She showed him the tool rooms were they kept the cleaning tools. She told him, he can tend to the flowers and garden plus loan. The rest he can help around the house by fixing broken things. She also told him when she is away for work he has to watch the house and take care of it. He was happy he could be there to assit and help out when he stayed there, Lillian told him about the cabin, how her husband had built the house in the woods for her cause she wanted a place away from the noise and pollution, a place filled with beautiful nature and close by the lake and river. Her husband loved hunting and loved been in the wild, when he was sick and the last days before he died, they stayed here till his last breath, they made beautiful memories in this place. That why she loves spending her free time and her weekends here , were her husbands memories are fill and very close to her. Carlos felt sorry for her he could not understand the pain of losing someone you love to death but he saw his mother lose herself when his dad left them and never returned. She was broken and lost but Liliana was broken and she held on to the happy memories she shared with her late husband. They took a break to go do lunch and rest some. So she told him, she is away during the week cause she works for a family in the town, the two are Doctors who are hardly home and they have a beautiful daughter who has a great heart and personality. So he would be on his own and from Monday till Friday when she gets back, he be tending to the flowers and maintaining the surrounding, once a week dust and clean house cause he will be cooking and eating from there, these always fresh food in the fridge and fruits ans veggies in the garden, he free to eat and have anything in the house.

Carlos felt happy to have found someone kind and willing to trust with her home , he promised to take really good care of the place and her property. Liliana asked if Carlos would not want to tell his family his okay and what happened to him, he told her he still feels the people who took him, would look for him first by his house and places he would be, he wasnt safe nor was his family and once he figured out what to do he would maybe move away to the next village and wait for some time till he can go back home. Those people are dangerous and they did alot of bad things to him and others .A number of people hard died cause what they did. And they would still be looking for him. They where done with the day and evening came, after supper they said goodnight and Liliana went to bed , Carlos cleaned up the dishes and kitchen and locked up Liliana's house and went to his new home now, he washed up and got ready for bed .

While he lay down , he heard a voice inside him, hi am Vald am your beast and your other half, Carlos was confused at what he was hearing. Carlos asked what he meant by his beast and other half. Vald went on to explain that he and him were one, they were a result of the mutation DNA given to him but they could be strong together if they worked and together and agreed. With Carlos been the host he had more control but Vald could take over any given time. Carlos asked he himself to , why would he accept or let what was put inside him, by those wicked people have control over him. Vald explained that if they didnt woke together or have both control, the beast inside them would be unstable and difficult to control when he transforms. Carlos laughed at why he was talking to him and believed what he wash hearing. He thought he was losing his mind and decided to shut his mind and go to sleep. Before he slept he felt a pull like he was drawn In the back and Vald awaken, funny he felt like he was watching a video or been used. Vald got up stretched Carlos body and went to send by the window , looking at the moon, Carlos's wondered what was going on. Vald was hungry but for raw fresh meat, he wanted to come out run and hunt a bit, he got out of tne house and went behind the tree looking around for someone, at a distance he saw a deer through the woods, he heard it movements, it heart beat. Carlos felt a shift in the air, like his body was been broken and folded or extended. He screamed out in pain and fail on the ground, when he got up all he saw where paws and fur on his feet, what the hell just happened he thought, Vald answered him proudly i am your beast and part of you this is my true form and the other form that helped us escape is the higher beast form. When they injected you with the first mutation genes i come to life, and started to help you heal and take the side effects of the drugs so you would not feel pain alone, controlled your emotions and changes so that those people could not use that or find out you were transforming.

Vald continued to say did he not noticed some changes over his body or how at times he would seem like his watching himself do things or sense things around it was all him alerting him, Carlos had no words and just got quiet. Vald thought he had said alot and will continue when the human was less disturbed, he took in a air, looked up the sky and howled at the moon. He run and run feeling excited, and remembered his reason for coming out , he changed his direction and started to run in the direction of the woods he saw an deer from. He was excited to be fear, Carlos was in shock and could not really do much then watch. The run for hours, till they caught with food, they killed a deer and ate it. When he was full, he slept there and only woke up early houses of the morning naked in the woods, he got up and run back to Liliana's home. He was still in shock but needed to find time and talk to Vald who seemed to be asleep after his night activities. Carlos reached the cabin went straight to bath before Liliana could wake up
