Full Moon "Whatever my business here in New York City is none of your business. So, better shut your mouth if you don't want me to cut off your..." I was supposed to say to cut off his throat but then I remembered Papa's advice. Even if I kept on thinking and following Papa's advice, could not help but feel indignant toward the first two humans I've encountered. I expected humans are welcoming. That they could help me find Nathalie as soon as possible, especially when her eighteenth birthday is fast approaching. However, the thought was a huge mistake. Papa was right about them. Humans can't be trusted. And that was my first lesson upon encountering one. "Fine. But, just so you know, there's no chance you'd be out of this place sooner. The cops these days are no longer fair and just. They locked up everyone who they think did something against the law. I'm purely innocent. But they blamed me for stealing." says the man before he dropped his butt on the cold and d
The Search "No!" I exclaimed. "My papa gave me those gold bars to use to see Nathalie. And where's the letter? Give it back to me." Out of too much anger, I tried to bend the metal bars, making a small passage, enough that my entire body fits. Being inside the cell was a waste of time. I don't even know why are they still holding me considering I did nothing to them. However, my Papa's advice has kept on bothering my clean conscience. If I'm gonna forced to escape from the cell, it might cause me trouble upon seeing Nathalie. Or worse, there might be no chance for me to attend on her birthday. "I'm so sorry, kiddo. The pouch of gold was a piece of dominant evidence that you stole them from someone. And as the law enforcer, I decided to proceed with the case against you." The policeman said. "I didn't steal those gold bars. I swear. Papa gave them to me to use here in New York City. Please, let me go. I need to see Nathalie as soon as possible." I insisted.
The Search Part 2 "Based on our profound investigation, fingerprints, facial recognition, and other forensic pieces of evidence made, the man has no civilian records. No debit or credit cards under his name either. No CCTV footage recorded for the past few months." "The man's name was Joshua," Jasper said back before he handed over the photo to me, letting me study it for a few seconds. But I was more focused on Joshua's letter for me. And it stated; "Dear Gorgeous Nathalie; Thank you so much for the invitation. The thing is, if you were able to read this letter, it simply means I safely arrived in New York City. The funniest thing there is, that I have traveled two nights and three days with the enthusiasm for the possibility of joining you on your birthday for the very first time. However, I brought no present for your birthday aside from myself because I don't know what are those things you hate or like. I hope you can forgive me for that. By t
Endless Chasing "All right. We'll leave you guys to it then." one of the cops said back, "but if given the chance you guys have seen this man, don't hesitate to reach out to us. The entire NYPD already had their eyes on the monster. He's too dangerous to the public and considered a fugitive." The three cops bent half of their bodies to us before they finally disappeared from their spots. Jasper then dragged me back to the main house as it was already late. As soon as we got back to the hallway, some of the pack's members have already cleared out of the place. Who remained were dad's close acquaintances and those who have the positions of the pack. "What do those cops want from you, Nathalie?" Uncle Robin asked. He then dropped his gaze towards the letter in my hands and added, "do you get a summon from them? What's that?" He was about to snatch the letter and the photo from my hands but I quickly hide them behind me. I can't afford for him to know more about J
I Give Up! Jasper did not move a bit even after a few roll calls. But when I was about to slap his face, he quickly opened his eyes and covered his face with his bare hands. "Come on, Jas. I know you've been staring at me this entire time." I added. "Get up there and join me in my craziness." "What's up, Nathalie? Why weren't you still awake even this late, huh?" he pretended not to hear my statement. He even yawned to make it more realistic. "Have you come up with a plan already?" His statement only proves that he has been awake since he lay his body on the floor. Because if he wasn't, he could not come up with that kind of response when I only mentioned about my decision once. "It's still our semestral break. So, I decided to find him as soon as possible. Will you join me in my journey to find him?" Enthusiasm and encouragement were traced on my face when I say those words. "Yeah. But I'm not asserting I would spend the rest of my entire one-month semest
Giving Up And Joshua was one of them. Unless he has some relatives in New York City. But out of the few letters that I've read from him, he did not mention any relatives, by blood or not, here in New York City or other places aside from the island where he lives in. "But we have hundreds of thousands of hotels, apartments, motels, and boarding houses within New York City. How are we supposed to check on them one by one?" The idea may give me the chance but it was utterly ridiculous. Our entire week might not be enough to inquire about Joshua's information. It will consume our entire time. Besides, the cops were already aware of his monstrous existence. Perhaps they already informed all the establishments to be observant. "Well, that's only my advice to you. Still, it's up to you if you are going to follow it or not." Jasper said back. While holding onto that thought, I shifted into a wolf and rushed to the forest, leaving Jasper alone, again, in the car. After
The Men's Shoes "Don't worry, Mrs. Fisher. I'll make sure Nathalie would have something in her stomach before the end of the night." Jasper said back on my behalf. He then smiled at mum to make sure she will not get worried. "And besides, my stomach has been rumbling since we arrived in the mansion." Indeed, Jasper had missed a few meals since this morning because he was with me the entire time. And yet I haven't heard him complaining. We only ate a few burgers and veggies but I know it's not enough for someone like Jasper who loves to eat. "All right. Thanks, Jasper. You're such a good friend to my daughter ever since you met her. And for keeping our little secret this entire time." Mum clapped Jasper's shoulder to extend his appreciation. "Anyway, I have to go. The rest of the packs might have already been done with their meals." "Mum, aren't you supposed to shoo them away? We already buried dad's corpse. Why are they still doing here?" Out of curiosity, I asked.
Friendship Over Mr. Joe, huh? Good thing the cops did not recognize Joshua even if one of them handed me a piece of evidence about his existence. The letter; where his name and signature were affixed on it. It was at this moment my left leg was trembling continuously because of the high current voltage of the phone ringing inside my pocket. The sales ladies also swayed their gazes down to my annoying ringtone. They then moved out of their spots when a few customers were entering their shop. When I got the chance to study the screen of my phone, the tip of my brows got arched downwards when there was no name registered on the call. "I might have the information of the person you've been looking for. How much could you afford for the information?" the man from the other line of the phone immediately started the negotiation even if I haven't said a thing. Before I could say a thing to the man, I towed my gaze back to Jasper, who was having a hard time choosing hi
