This is my first time being here and I feel like I have been here before; as much as I hate to admit it, it feels so homey. Everyone and everything seems to be routined, perfect if I would like to exaggerate. This is seriously over my expectations, I thought that the land of werewolves will be different; it will look brutal, and bloody but here I see and feel nothing but peace and harmony. Victoria always tells me that the land was ominous but now that I’m here I don’t think of it that way. Maybe it’s because I just got here, maybe it’s because she never wanted to let me leave and maybe it’s because the werewolves are hiding behind their hypocrisy, after all, no human is here with them. Yet.
"So, what do you think?" Jane asksJane is Victoria’s sister’s daughter, she is my age and she is my gateway to the werewolf land. I can’t explain how happy I was when I met her, although Victoria thought it was a big mistake introducing Jane to me probably because Jane supported my stupid decision as Victoria would like to put it that way. I don’t really know much about Jane because I met her once but I can say with full certainty that she’s the crazy kind of girl, the good crazy, I prefer."Uhm…. I just got here, so I can’t tell if it’s nice or not." I respond turning back to look through the window."I’m very sure you will love it here, Aristo, is a beautiful town," The driver asks"Aristo?" I say turning back to clarify what my ears transmitted to me"I’m guessing she doesn’t like the name," Jane says to the driver"No, I don’t….I mean…..It’s not that bad." I say as the name wondered around my mind. This is the first time I heard this name but it sounds so familiar, it’s like I have heard it before."Driver if I may ask, for how long has this land been called Aristo?" I ask"Woow! You did not just refer my boyfriend as your driver." Jane says crossing her arms above her chest"What?""He is my boyfriend, not some big-headed pot-bellied guy you’ll address as a driver.""Ohh! Well, if you have told me that long ago I wouldn’t have addressed him as the driver." I say"Fair enough." She shrugged"I don’t actually blame Maya for calling me a driver, after all, I dressed up like one." He says"You know my name?" I ask wondering how he got to know my name."Yeah, I told him your name and everything." Jane saysMy heart skipped as she said that last word everything. How can Jane be so stupid, how can she just tell him everything about me, he is a werewolf for god sake, once everything gets out of control, he is gonna spill it out and eventually feed on me before I could get my revenge.I need to calm down. I’m panicking too much.I inhaled and exhaled, trying to feel better but no! I don’t feel any good."You told him everything?" I asked to confirm."Yeah, I’m sorry about that but trust me, Ryle isn’t going to say a thing to anyone.""What!!""Relax, I know you don’t like it when people know that you haven’t wolfed out yet but trust me it’s not that embarrassing." She says as she winks at me.I huff relaxing back on the seat, that was a relief, for a moment I felt like punching several holes on her. I turned back to look through the window, indeed Aristo is a beautiful but busy town. My mind drifted back to the beautiful memory of my childhood, I can’t really remember everything but I knew I was happy, very happy, and grateful until the time when those brown ominous eyes came and……Frustration and anger settled heavily against my chest. I won’t spare that asshole that took away my happiness, I will kill that monster.The car started to jerk forward, pulling me out of my trance "Is everything okay?" I ask"Err, not really; I think the car is about to break down." Ryle says, giving a nervous laugh"Oh shit! Not now, come on babe, why did you bring this car in the first place when I specifically told you to take the black one." Jane snaps at him"Sorry, babe didn’t expect this to happen.""Oh, man." She huffs resting her back against the chair "You better do something about this.""Yeah, yeah, I know."Dodging several honking cars, Ryle frantically moved towards the outside lane before parking the car in front of a busy shop. I am still surprised by how werewolves act so casually as if they are humans."I will go check it out and get it running back with energy," Ryle says"Do it fast, I’m starving," Jane says."Sure babe." He blows a kiss at her and steps out of the car.I let a small sigh and relaxed my back on the seat. I look through the window, scanning the environment. The bright sandy ponytail of a beautiful little girl playing with flowers caught my eye. I looked up to the sign on the store, Daisy Daisies; the wind blew scattering small petals, whipping the little girl's hair around her face, and a small smile played on my lips. She looked so beautiful and what was more beautiful is that her dad was playing along with her.It looked magicalI may not recall a lot about my childhood but I do know that my dad was a very nice man, he must have loved me just the way that man loves his daughter. I continued to watch the little girl not because I was bored but because she is an adoring sight and she reminds me of myself."Hey, Maya, Ryle, and I will go check out the store to get some snacks," Jane says drafting my attentionStill looking at the little girl I respond "Okay.""You need anything?" She asksI shook my head in disagreement not wanting to miss any second of that moment.I wish I could just watch this over and over again. They make me happy.Not quite long after Jane spoke, a group of half-naked men walked into my field of view blocking the little girl. As they walked past the flower shop, I noticed how people parted ways, and just then; a tall man walks up and pushes the little girl’s father making him fall to the ground.Why the hell did he do that?Without looking down at the girl’s father, he walks up to the girl who was already streaming with tears as if she is aware of what he is going to do. Emotionless, he turns to the men that came with him and said something under his breath, one of the men nodded and grabbed the little girl with her arm. Crying and begging, the little girl looked at her father who was still laying on the ground probably injured. He grabs the little girl's father’s shirt collar and pinned him to the wall, whispering words to him that somehow the father was nodding and pleading in his response. After questioning him, which only took some seconds, he threw him to the minions and turn to leave along with the little girl whose arm was held tightly as if she was an enemy. But why? Is it because she’s human?The tears of that girl remind me of how I cried when I saw that monster eating up my mother. I have to help that girl. Before I knew it, I was getting out of the car; if anyone doesn’t care about that girl I do."Hey!" I yell, my shoes hitting the ground faster and faster as I tried to catch up with him and his minions "Hey, asshole" I yell. People gasped as they realized I was going after him.I groaned in annoyance, increasing my pace, and finally, I caught up with him and pushed him from his broad back, making him jerk forward, and his men turned to me with angry stares ready to attack. I have to admit, I am very scared right now and I can feel my palms sweating. But though I stood to my ground"Let her go," I sayHe turns around slowly, taking off his sunglasses and handing them over to one of his minions. I raised my brow at him and was about to lash out when I caught the sight of his entire face; I clenched my teeth hard to stop my jaw from dropping, locking my laps together at what I just felt and saw. His eyes, dark, stern, and sharp, made me want to curl up in one corner; his well-defined cheekbones seems to only give his face a glow, and his full brows which at first I found irritating but now, I could just drool over them, His lips, this stranger's full lips were pressed in a thin line, but managed to lure me into this intense trance that I never imagined.What are you doing Maya? He is a ruthless asshole. Stand your ground; save that little girl.I blinked my senses back into my brain."Who do you think you are? You can’t just knock down that man on the ground and then shamelessly take away his daughter." I say to himWith his eyes squinting due to the sun and his jaw clenched hard, he looked around for what felt like five seconds before his eyes wandered back to mine."Mind your business lady." He says; his voice and expression were void of emotion, not even a slight look of anger on his immaculate features.I was beginning to feel intimidated "It’s not about me minding my business it’s about you doing the right thing."He scoffed and looked around again, a small crowd began forming. What is wrong with everyone here, even if that little girl is human it doesn’t mean that he has the right to take her away.Some people gave me the silly eye signal message to leave the issue but no! I couldn’t save my mom but at least I will save this little girl."Let her go," I say; my words came out as a command"Look lady, I don’t have time for this so why don’t you turn around and head back to wherever you came from and I will be on my way." His voice was still calm and his face still showed no emotionsA lady from the crowd frantically gestured with his hands that I should leave but I ignored her."Just let her go, she has nothing to do with this," I sayWith an expressionless look, he asked "Are you done?"I gasped feeling insulted"No, I’m not! You are so full of yourself, aren’t you? Look at that girl, doesn’t she look hurt to you?"Without taking a look at her, he says "She’s fine."I was stunned by that, and I quickly looked at the little girl to see she was still sobbing and her father wasn’t even trying to console her."You have no heart, don’t you?""Yes I don’t, now are you done?" He asksI feel like this is getting personal, this has to stop. Not anymore, someone has to explain why they hate humans."I just don’t get it with you guys and your hatred towards humans, why, just tell me one thing why?" I yellThe crowd gasps and he rises an eyebrow."Human?" He says; now his face was full of emotions but I couldn’t read his expression.My heart was going a mile a minute as I started to panic, not because I was standing under hot sun and arguing with a man who could feed on me but because I missed my morning vitamins and didn’t take them for lunch. I blinked gulping the energy into me."Yes human, ju-just, because she’s a hu-human, doesn’t mean yo-you can treat her the way you like," I said"Okay, I guess we are done here." He says"N-no, we are- we" My breath was becoming short and fast, feeling like no matter how much I breathe in I wasn’t getting enough oxygen into my lungs. "L-let her g-go""Is something wrong…….""Ju-just let her g-" Before I could finish the sentence, my vision started to go sporty and the last thing I heard was a voice asking me if I’m alright and before I knew it, I lost consciousness and blacked out.I woke up on a bouncy comfortable bed, I was covered with a silky comforter, and my eyes started to slowly open till slightly hazy, once my eyes cleared; they started to adjust to the brightness of the room. "What happened?" I mumbled to myself as I touched my forehead, it was burning, and I’m will be having the worst kind of headache. I squeezed my eye shut gently messaging my temples. Bad day, worse headache. What did you expect, Maya?As I turned around, I had a clear view of my environment; it was different, diverse, and most importantly, it was strange; strangely beautiful.Am I in a stranger’s room?Oh no, this is bad, this is way too bad.I jumped out of bed almost as if I was bitten to get off it. My eyes glistened with fear when I realized that I wasn’t at home and I’m not talking about the home where Victoria and I stay, but I’m talking about the home where the humans are. I am in a stranger’s house on the werewolf land.Holy shit! I think I’m gonna puck……no, I’m gonna die
"We have to go." She rushed to me "Why? Where are we going? And where is mommy?" I asked suddenly feeling the urge to see my mom"Let’s go now!" She ordered grabbing my arm and rushing out of the room "But we can’t leave without mommy," I said trying to pull out of her grip but she is incredibly stronger than me. "Where are you taking me, I don’t want to go with you, I don’t. Let go of me, let me go." I cried but it went to deaf ears. She didn’t listen to me nor even cared to look at me, she just dragged me with her. "Let me go, let me go." I whined still trying my best to get off her grip.As we reached the door, fast footsteps sounded behind us. It sounded like many people were running in our direction. She quickly opens the door and pushes me out."I will take care of them, if I don’t come out soon, run just run." She said; her rasping voice echoing into my ear "Bu-""Run, Maya’allin, run."My eyes went wide as I gulped the lump in my throat. Her voice was scaring me, I had many
A sharp scent of dust welcomed me as I walked into the storeroom. Oh, man! This place is so fucking dusty. I waved my hand dismissively, coughing out to the dust that just couldn’t quite dance through my nozzle. I stepped into the room and started to look around, every corner of the room seemed to be screaming in desperate need of cleaning. Let's just get this over with. I walked to the front shelf, scanning the top shelves for the item I needed. There it was! I guess so. I took out a box that looks like an old jewelry box or something like that, I blow the dust off before I opened it. Just as I thought, it contained jewelry and a weird stuff that looks like jewelry. I took out a chain that was wrapped around something that looks like an eyeball. "What the hell is this?" I muttered to myself gazing at it with a questioning brow. I dropped it back into the box and continued to look through it. Necklace, earrings, bangles, ankles- seriously, isn’t there anything worthwhile here? I rol
I kept to where I stood, unaware of what to do. I know for sure that if he walks toward me and questions me, I will ramble like an idiot and probably won’t be able to defend myself. My mind kept telling me one thing; run Maya run. But I know that if I run, I won’t make it anywhere, and worse, his doubts will be cleared and then everything will be over, I will be hanged to death and my revenge will never be fulfilled. "Are you a werewolf?" He asked again dropping the weights on the ground. I nodded in agreement gulping the lump in my throat. "Are you sure?" He asked I nodded instantly stepping backward. I seriously did not expect to be caught on my first day. I haven’t found anything about that bloody wolf and I’m not ready to go leave. I have to do something, but what?A smile tugged around the corner of his lips as his eyes rank every inch of my body. It was like he was checking me out. I’m sure he is wondering if I’m good enough to be feasted on or not."What kind of hybrid are y
I have been avoiding Willow throughout yesterday, after that threat, I’m not sure if I want to be anywhere near her. I’m not afraid of her but I’m afraid of those eyes of hers. It reminded too of him- the monster werewolf. The way her eyes flickered at me was scary and I can’t seem to forget about it. Now there are two sets of eyes hunting me, how can this get any worse- oh wait, it will totally be worse if today turns out to be a disaster. Which will hopefully not be since I have planned my day. Last night, when I went back to the store room to look for the map of the house, but instead I found something even greater than the house map. I found the map of the whole town, and I can’t wait to use it. I figured with the map of the town, I can go door-to-door looking for the werewolf, and not only that, I can use the map to plot a path through the streets to avoid any encounters with the werewolf. I want to get to him before he gets to me. Putting the map in my backpack, I zipped it clo
"Where did you get this from?" She asked but before I could answer she looked at me and that profound expression she had on her face made me nervous"I know something about her." She said. "Really, you do?" I asked excitedly. I can’t express how much happy I am to finally meet someone that knows something about my mom. It makes me feel like I’m a step closer to finding the monster werewolf. "What do you know about her?" I asked "I know so many things about her. She was someone very important in this land.""Really?""Yes dear, but I can’t tell you much about her right now." She said "Why not?""It’s not safe here." She responded "It’s not safe?" I questioned gazing at the environment. There wasn’t anything dangerous about it. "Why isn’t it safe?""You won’t understand. We can’t be caught talking about her. If we are, we will bare losses and endure the consequences." The woman said sounding profound. I will be lying if I say that she isn’t scaring me. "Why? Did something bad hap
I felt the scream trying to rip its way up my throat as panic took over. What have I gotten myself into?They began walking round and round around me roaring. My lungs constricted and my body went cold. That this moment I know I am going to die. No one is coming to save me. One of the werewolves began walking towards me he roared loudly to my face and by just looking at these incredibly sharp teeth of his, I knew he was ready to eat me. His hand danced around my body and before I knew it he ripped off the jacket I was wearing. I let out a whimper as I squeezed my eyes shut hoping to stop crying. I wanted to beg him to stop, I wanted to run away but I am too scared to do that. I screamed at the pain of the scratches on my arm. Maybe he wanted to rip my sleeve off and might have taken out my skin as well. My eyes were still closed, and I heard a motorcycle sound coming in our direction. A sudden wind nipped at my face and I realized the werewolf wasn’t standing next to me. Maybe his go
"Maya I need you to-" Jane’s voice chipped into the room but halted her sentence once she saw me packing my bags. "Why are you packing?" Jane asked walking toward me. "I am leaving, I don’t think I want to stay here anymore." I responded shoveling my clothes inside the suitcase "But why? I thought you weren’t leaving until you find the werewolf." She sat beside the suitcase "I am not doing that anymore, I don’t think I will be able to find the werewolf, I don’t think I will be able to get my revenge." I said "Why would you think that Maya?""I am weak, I can’t fight, I can’t do anything. I can’t even protect myself." I think I am the most pathetic human on earth. I have been living my life thinking of one thing- a perfect way to seek my revenge but now that I am out, I can’t even do that. "What are you talking about, you can do it, Maya. You came all the way from the human world, I am sure you can do it." She said "I can’t. Victoria is right, I can’t seek my revenge even if I w
