Chapter 1

Helena's Pov

I had just finished taking a bath and was about to come out of the bathroom when the light suddenly turn off. My surrounding is so dark. I couldn't see any things inside the bathroom. I covered my body with a towel before I open the bathroom door and discovered that even the lights in my room were turned off. Brownout, I guess. I slowly step out of the bathroom. I walk slowly to avoid bumping into any object inside my room. I don't know where I put my cellphone so I just walk to the door to call my younger brother, Jessie.

"Jessie? Can you please open the generator?" I asked him as I open the door. I waited for him to respond but minutes had passed he still didn't answer me so I decide to step out of my room and with my hands groping in front of my way I walk slowly until I could reach the living room. "Jessie? Where are you?" I shouted again. My brother still didn't answer me as if he is not around. But I know that he was in his room because I had just talked with him earlier before I took a shower. And he will let me know if he's going out.

I think that my brother is already sleeping so he didn't notice that the lights were off so I decide to wake him up. Once again, I walk slowly and groped my hands in front of my way, scared that I might bump into something that will hurt me. I was just doing a few steps when my hands suddenly touches a fluffy object in front of me. What is this? With my hands, I examined the fluffy object and discovered that it was big. It seems like a human-sized stuffed toy. A human-sized stuffed toy placed in our living room? Who bought it? Did my brother buy it? But why did he place it in the living room instead of in his room? I didn't notice it when I arrived from school earlier. And it's kind of impossible for me to not notice this kind of big thing when it was placed in this area.

I suddenly step back when I heard as if someone is breathing in front of me. And I did not only hear its sound but my hands also felt the warm air as if someone breathing touched my skin. What the heck! Did this stuffed toy has a life? Impossible! Damn! I feel goosebumps all over my body. My heart started to beat faster. I'm scared. I'm always scared every time a brownout happened that's why my mother bought a generator so we can use it during a brownout. But I am especially scared now because of the thing that I just touched.

I almost scream when the wind suddenly blows the curtain beside the open window in the living room. I unintentionally look outside and noticed that there was a light in our neighbor's house. I know that the lights I see right now are not from the moon but electric lights. But why is it our house suddenly had brownout? Before I could find an answer to my question the light inside our house suddenly back. I don't know why but it's too bright and it hurts my eyes so I quickly closed my eyes and open them after three seconds. A scream comes out of my throat when I saw a scary wolf's face in front of me who was looking at me intensely. The yellowish eyes of the wolf are fierce and it looks like he is ready to eat me alive. I closed my eyes again and hit the wolf's head using my hands while screaming.

"Stop it, Sister! It's just me, Jessie."

I stops hitting the wolf's head when I heard the voice of my younger brother. I quickly open my eyes and saw him getting off the head mascot of a wolf from his head while grinning. I strongly punch his chest to get even from the shock that he gave me.

"You scared the hell out of me, Jessie! What if I have heart disease? I'm already dead by now because of what you did!" I scolded him angrily.

"Ouch! You're so mean, Sister. I just scared you a little bit and you already beat me hard," my brother complains to me while rubbing his chest.

"Beats you? Do you really want me to beat you into a pulp? You knew that I hate that animal and yet you scared me using that head? I really want to beat you if I can," I growl at him, not being able to calm myself from what he did.

Of all the animals in the world, the wolf is my most hated animal. I don't know why but I really don't like that animal. Maybe because the wolf is cunning, dangerous, and scary. I hate to see their eyes even if it's just a picture or a stuffed toy. I felt that they are looking at me and wanted to eat me alive. That feeling gives me creeps.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know that you will be scared like that. But the wolf is not scary at all and besides this is just a mascot and not a real one. Wolf is brave and could protect themselves from their enemies that's why I like them," Jessie defended the wolves.

I shoot him a sharp and warning look. "Take that wolf's head away from me or else I will throw it outside the door," I warned him and then shoot also a sharp look at the wolf's head. How I wish that I could tear that wolf's mascot into pieces.

"Okay. Okay. I will hide my baby's head inside my room now. By the way, sister. You hate a wolf very much. What if your destiny is a werewolf?" he asked me with an annoying smile on his face. I really hate it every time he teased me with a werewolf. I want to struggle with his neck until he cough.

I rolled my eyes. "I will jump at the highest bridge once it happened." I bravely told to him cause I know it will not happen. I'd rather die than fall in love with a scary beast.

Jessie smiled at me as if an amazing idea suddenly pop out inside his head. "I know what I should do to make it come true. I will write a new story and the main protagonist is an alpha wolf and you, my sister. I'm sure that my readers will love it."

"Oh please, Jessie. Stop that nonsense idea. Don't get me involved with your werewolf story. I will bash your story once I read it," I warned him. My brother is an online writer and he loves to write ridiculous stories.

"No, sister. I will surely write it," Jessie said with determination on his face before walking to his room. I suddenly remember the stuffed toy that I touched earlier so I called his name before he could enter his room.

"Did you a bought a stuffed toy? Why did you put it in the living room?"

Jessie stops walking and turns around furrowing his forehead. "Stuffed toy? I didn't buy it. And I didn't see any stuffed toys in the living room. Are you dreaming, my sister?" Jessie asked while shaking his head and then continues to enter his room.

I turn around to look at the stuffed toy that I touched earlier but to my surprise, there's no stuffed toy in the living room. I felt my body stiffen while my eyes widened. What was the thing that I touched on earlier? Where did it go? Once again, I felt goosebumps all over my body. I suddenly run to my room and lock the door while screaming. I quickly wear my night dress and lay down in my bed. I cover my whole body with my quilt and close my eyes tightly. But I couldn't sleep because my imagination scared me. I am imagining that there's a werewolf inside our house looking at me fiercely with the thoughts of eating me alive. I quickly erase that scary imagination inside my mind and force myself to sleep. But I never thought that on this night, the love story of me and a werewolf that my brother told me earlier will begin.
