VI. Wolf on the Prowl (The Sound of Death) - I

The viewpoint which is nothing more than the top of an ancient waterfall that descends in free fall flowing from the center of the mountain in the periods where there is the highest concentration of rain is the right and perfect place to go to enjoy on a night like this.  

In the same way and eye also, it is a place where the human and the natural get along in secret equally, making Belcier even more surprising.    

The nature around, rises with a special air of grandeur dominating most of the space.  

While on one side on the rocky surface glistens a long road that runs from the source to the top of the viewpoint somewhat narrow, although two vehicles can perfectly pass without concern in the surrounding lanes.   

At the end, once you are at the top, such a road is linked to a parking lot that limits for a few meters the warehouse simulation where you enter the bar that, although its tiny appearance is singularly huge inside.     

The bar, as that underground structure is called, has given life to the most noisy and amazing and strange parties.  

Although honestly everyone knows about its existence in the city little is said about it because just in its dimensions the madness dominated by music, alcohol and fun comes to life during the nights.      

. . .  . . .  . . .     

You may think that in truth the madness has possibly taken me and that I probably do not find myself perfectly balanced in my five senses.  

But I am completely sure that even though I am not aware of what may be happening around us, I can perceive that unusual tingling sensation that occurs on our skin after someone is staring at us in the distance.   

It is no joke what I say more sincerely promulgate in my words, because in truth I could perceive the weight of those eyes on my body who kept riveted with fervor, although I was not able to detect their entire origin.     

By the work of such an action completely still there I was trying to decipher what I was going to do in case the worst scenario came to life because I am aware that I can do little to defend both of us.    

The truth was that a little time had elapsed after that taxi left when Lina approached me, puzzled by my strange way of acting after realizing that I was not following her after all.     

"Emma what's going on? "      

Lina worried about what might happen to me was looking for a way to insist and therefore know the reasons why for a long time I have been acting out of the ordinary, but unfortunately this ends as it began without receiving a single response.      

Lina tried in every possible way to shake me to make me come to my senses and insisted again and again without any success, but it was not until the voice of a man curiously located behind our backs replied...       

"Young ladies it is well known that you cannot stay here alone" that you completely regain your composure again.      

For some reason my head played a trick on me in a brazen way made me imagine that whoever was there was nothing more than one of those wolves with whom I had recently come across, of course from my nerves so the anguish quickly dominated me and so without thinking twice I turned to the place where that voice came from.      

The most curious thing of all was that since our arrival not a single soul had been seen hanging around the bar so where had this man come from? I questioned myself in the face of doubt.      

The truth I could not help but be stunned to see such a happy man who was there after contemplating him in silence once I turned around, because before me lay a gentleman of elegant bearing who was around some almost two meters tall   

He had a white complexion, reddish hair and amber eyes, he had a beard that was not too abundant, but it was well marked, he wore an elegant suit with the front part somewhat open in which it seemed a few minutes ago perhaps he had removed a tie and who with a subtle and serene expression was there.      

Lina after seeing him did not take long to issue a greeting of surprise after recognizing such an individual so drawing a smile on her lips she said...      

"Oh! Hello Mr. Lyall is it you, how nice to see you? "      

"The taste is mine Lina. "       

With a kind smile he directed his hand to Lina being equally reciprocated by this and with which greeting of yesteryear he lowered his head directing his mouth to the top of her hand where after giving a kiss he moved away from her.   

Not very well that one was standing upright with a somewhat daring look fixed his eyes on me as if trying to bare the depths of my soul searching for my innermost secrets.

"What brings you around these parts? "Lina openly questions him.      

"I was solving some work issues, issues that I couldn't leave for later. "   

Without another pause he settled in, one in which I could distinguish how, although not openly, that man from time to time fixed his huge eyes on me and continued saying.  

"Now who is your beautiful friend, Lina? "       

"True, I haven't introduced you yet how rude that was of me; Mr. Lyall she's my friend Emma is new in town. "       

And just like he did with her, that man didn't take long to extend his hand to me.  

The question arose because I did not want to return that greeting because of the distrust I felt before my ignorance about that man, now, if I did not I knew that I would probably end up passing as an ill-mannered and arrogant girl in his eyes which I did not suppose to my complete liking.      

At that moment I didn't know what to do, even less how to address him, so I insisted on watching Lina for an answer, but, unfortunately for me, instead of leaning between my teeth, she replied that I should answer.  

Having no other option and even less any way to escape, finally appealing to reason, I extended my hand to that man.   

Then Lyall made the same movement that he had done with Lina before and in the same way he received me, again extending his hand to take mine and there he lowered his head to spread a kiss on her.  

I thought that everything would be that simple just like it happened with Lina but the surprise was not because not very well she came up to me that one was completely stunned out of nowhere.  

Before his reaction I could not help thinking at that moment that perhaps something had corrupted his thoughts and it was right there that while we were distracted that the howling of a wolf in the distance was heard.      

That man did not hesitate to erect his body again now with a defensive attitude while he then released my hand immediately on the spot, instead Lina and I were terrified hugging each other.       

"What was that? "emphasizes Lina taken for the first time by fear after hearing that strange sound of surprise.      

Lyall after observing the agitation that was manifested in both of them shuddered, without a doubt hearing that caused a great discomfort in her person and turning her back to us she approached us placing herself like a wall to protect us.  

Now thinking about it completely close to him and comparing our scarce one hundred and sixty-five centimeters we could perhaps pass as small and tiny porcelain dolls.     

"I just said it only once so pay close attention, do not separate from me, walk slowly in the direction of the facade do not scream, do not cry, move with complete caution slowly and confidently. "      

"You say it as if it were something so simple," muses the one who remains terrified.     

And so slowly we started our march, the bar was a few fifty meters away, but with such slowness it could feel as if we were facing an eternal challenge fighting for our lives after all.       

The sounds coming from what was lurking were mind-boggling, threatening growls that could become louder and louder.  

Before us it could be perceived as an ancient struggle where suspicion and hatred were the main protagonists which took life while they were still kept contained in the middle of nature from where they watched us from afar wanting to hunt us because what was there did not dare to take the first step yet.       

I have to say that from the first moment I could listen to him I could differentiate that it was indeed one of us who openly enjoyed perceiving the smell of fear that largely emanated from us, without a doubt at that moment we were his main attraction.      

He did not hesitate to gloat at the thought that we were trapped in his trap and that we probably would not have any salvation and even I for a moment gave him the reason, but time would undoubtedly snatch her completely.   

A short time later what seemed to be a simple animal sound began to have a voice and at least for me it began to have meaning and meaning.  

Each of their growls could be completely interpreted by me, so once sharpening my ear pay attention to their chatter.     

"Damn Lyall, you thought you were going to catch me, you thought you were going to turn me over to your boss's bastard, but, I assure you, you won't get it... " 

I reply a first time as clear and firm as no other speech.  

"You wanted to safeguard your doubt is not so yes everything that happened with the cargo had been my fault, well yes I will give you an answer, although I thought I would never affirm yes... " 

His impudence in pronouncing each of those words was atrocious and before anything I did not understand how there could be a being as horrible as him.  

"Yes, I was the cause, by my hands their plans were ruined, by my hands their men were captured and I assure you that by my claws today your life and those of those women behind your back will have finally been extinguished especially that of the omega who hides behind you. "      

What a dilemma and without me wanting it I had been involved in all this.       

Then that was what was happening, it was what I questioned and along with those doubts and more doubts were formed.  

Countless more questions were running through my head, but there was one specific one that was repeated with great emphasis, was Lyall also a wolf friend or enemy, the worst of what kind it would be and what would be the reason that he would have to protect us because it was obvious that he would not give his arm to twist.  

But no matter how much that wolf insisted on openly challenging him with his threats, that man did not utter the slightest word.       

Before our eyes an uncertain struggle arose, a struggle that had neither meaning nor any logic, especially for us who were completely unaware of the reason for this situation and so for a long time he challenged us.    

What a surprise the three of us took after a few minutes elapsed where the silenced was our most faithful ally and uncertainty controlled us because out of nowhere a loud sound not far from where we were already arose.   

That wolf had finally given his face, he had finally dared to confront us, showing his teeth towards us with great suspicion, while threads of slime and blood descended from his mouth. 

His muzzle remained completely open, it was evident that all he wanted was to hunt us down, devour us and end our complete existence.     

The wolf began to place himself from nowhere in an attacking position, I watched him attentively bring his hind legs back to gain momentum and bend his head to have stability when launching, thus giving notice that there was no turning back.
