Bewitching The Beast 15. EZEKIEL'S MEN
JULIA What was I supposed to do in a room full of men? They all wore smug expressions and their auras screamed ‘danger!’. None of them looked friendly, especially the last one on the line. He was tall, the tallest among any of us. His body was big and wide, like all he did was weightlift all his life. His face was in a permanent scowl and his fists were the size of my head. He could crush my head like a grape if he wanted to. “These are my men,” Zeke walked forward and slightly pushed my back, guiding me towards the sofa. As soon as we seated, they followed. Amir remained standing beside Zeke. “Amir is my beta and these men will have their own specialties in the pack.” I looked at Zeke, wanting to ask what I had to do with all of these. But his face remained calm and expressionless. I guess that was better than having him violent. Amir cleared his throat and gestured to the first one who had a burned scar on his face, he was the one who had a permanent scowl on his face. “The fi
Bewitching The Beast 14. BREAKFAST
JULIA Run. Run. Run, little girl. I will find and kill you anyways. The forest was dark, heavy raindrops formed puddles on the path I was running in. Shadows of the tall trees amidst the lightning were like big monsters reaching their arms out to catch me. I kept on running, somewhere far from what’s chasing me. The fear in my chest grew as I felt the thing chasing me closing in our distance. He’s going to kill me. They’re going to kill me. After everything I did for them, they’re going to kill me. I fell on the ground, sharp rocks piercing my skin. The next thing I knew was that I was staring at the open sky, droplets of rain falling on my face. I don’t remember what happened, I don’t remember their faces. My eyes just felt heavy, and my body grew tired. If I die now, at least I won’t suffer any more. At least I won’t be in pain, and I won’t be alone anymore. “You can’t die,” the voice whispered. It was warm, serene, and gentle. It was coming from inside of my head. “I will
Bewitching The Beast 13. WOLVES
JULIA “Who are you?” I cautiously stepped back. Looking around, no one else was there. I remembered Lyla saying that there were people on patrol, is he one of them? “Do you live here?” I ask again. The man, who looked only a year or two older than me, smiled. He wore the same black shirt that everyone else wore and had brown curly hair. He was tall and was more on the slender side, he was still muscular like the other men here, but he wasn’t big. Maybe that was a good thing, he was less scary. “I’m Milo,” he introduced himself. He offered his hand to me for a shake, but I didn’t reach out. After everything that happened, I wanted to be careful about the people I interact with. After noticing that I wasn’t going to shake his hand, he retrieved it and shrugged. His eyes wandered to the large carved pattern on the wall and sighed. “It’s a shame that this wall had to become like this. They don’t make walls like this anymore.” I also turned to the art on the wall. He was right, the
Bewitching The Beast 12. DAY ONE AT THE HOUSE
JULIA Lyla prepared ample food for both Zeke and I in the kitchen. Fried eggs, bacon, rice, fruits, and other stuff. I should be jumping in joy because of it but I didn’t find the appetite within me to eat. I was still bothered by the commotion earlier this morning, and I wasn’t used to this kind of treatment. It felt strange being served like this. I absentmindedly poked around the grape on my plate until it bounced outside of it and landed in front of Zeke. I gasped and immediately picked it up from his plate and popped it in my mouth chewing it down, its juice immediately settling on my tastebuds. Zeke paused from slicing his steak to look up at me, and down at my plate. “Are you not hungry?” he asked, looking down on my partially empty plate that only has at least four pieces of grapefruit and a half-eaten omelet. I shook my head, “Maybe I’m just not used to it yet.” Zeke placed his utensils down and rested his elbows on the table and leaned on his hand as if he was examinin
Bewitching The Beast 11. LOBBY INCIDENT
JULIA I woke up gasping for air. It was a dark dream that involved being trapped in a room with Zeke. His bloodshot red eyes and snarling lips hovering over me. I was applying pressure on my neck, where blood was gushing out. Zeke had bit me, and he looked amused. “Why do you look so scared, little human?” My hands immediately flew to my neck, fortunately, there was no bite, and no blood. The room was also empty. The sunlight had entered the room through the glass window and the sky looked bright as ever. I stood up after calming myself down and looked over the window. It was already dark when we arrived last night so I didn’t see or notice anything about the place we’re staying in, but now that it’s day, I could clearly see it. And it was amazing. The house was up a hill, surrounded by a forest but it overlooks the town and the sea in the distance. The house was surrounded by tall steel fences and men, who wore the same black shirts surrounded it as if they were patrolling the
Bewitching The Beast 10. ARRIVAL
JULIA Another group of people came to fetch us after the incident. We were all silent on the way during the next following hours of traveling. Zeke was still beside me, but he was silent the whole time, looking out the window with his elbow resting on the frame. He felt like a different person. I wanted to talk to him, ask about what had happened, but I didn’t have the strength nor energy to do so. Things happened fast and we were almost killed as soon as we left the forest. I suddenly remember his two brothers. Were they the ones who did this? Did they really send people to hunt Zeke? Maybe it was because I was tired, but I felt my lids getting heavier by the second. I wanted to stay awake in case something happens again, I wanted to talk to Zeke. But I was so tired and drifted into the darkness. But before I felt my body drop, warm arms encircled me, and I felt safe. I woke up to the voice of people talking in hushed voices. I also felt my body sway, and as I opened my eyes,
Bewitching The Beast 9. CRONOS'S END
JULIAI woke up coughing and choking from the smoke of a now burning car. My skin rubbed against the rough and rocky ground and as I looked around, there was no one else except for Amir who was heavily injured beside me.I immediately crawled towards him. He was groaning, clutching his bloody chest and almost fainting. I tried to talk to him and call his name but when he looked up to me, his eyes flash with a bright glow and soon disappeared.“You—You have to run, miss,” he said, coughing up blood.“What happened? Where is Zeke?” I asked him as I slowly helped him sit upright and lean his back against the vehicle.Amir shook his head and lifted his shaky hand and pointed toward the opening of the forest. I bit my lip and looked around. We were stranded on the side of the road and it looked too isolated for someone to pass by. There was no one else to ask for help.“Tell me what happened. Who did this?” I asked him again. He tried to speak but he had difficulty in doing so.“Cro—Cronus
Bewitching The Beast Chapter Eight: Car Ride
JULIAI never thought that there would be an escape to this unending forest. I thought I was probably going to be here forever and yet here we were, riding a vehicle towards somewhere unknown. Everything was new to me, from the cushioned seat, tainted windows and deafening silence between Zeke and Amir.The memories I lost didn’t return but I know for sure I’ve been in a vehicle like this before. Most of the time, in fact. I have no recollection of my identity but at least I got to keep my basic knowledge about the world.Zeke also looked like he’s used to this kind of treatment. He sat beside me with crossed arms and legs while looking out the window as we made our way out of the fore
Bewitching The Beast Chapter Seven: The Offer
JULIA I kept looking back and forth at Zeke who was busy breaking down firewood with his own bare hands. He would get a log, place his fingers in the middle and pull it apart as if it was nothing. A few days ago, I asked him how he could do that but he just said that the wood was already brittle. Now that I thought of it, he could do a lot of things that I couldn’t do. I assume that most men can’t do what he can but I was too scared to ask. Not scared of him—just scared that he would have to leave if I knew something I wasn’t suppose to know. The man in the treeline still didn’t leave. He was still stalking us from afar and made sure his eyes didn’t leave us. Zeke said to just let him be but I was bothered by it. “You should fan faster or else the fire will die out,” Zeke said without even batting me an eye. I almost jumped and cleared my throat and continued to fan the fire that was cooking our dinner for the night. “What do you want to ask me?” he asked and threw the last piece
