MIA’s POV "I~I forgot to call. That's why I came. Sorry," I glared at Davon. "Don't worry. Your friend said he would cover your shift today while you rest. You've been up all night. How's your mom?" "She's fine now. Ah, Mrs. Olsen, could we have breakfast first? My friend is hungry, and I forgot to eat mine hurrying." "Oh, I don't mind. You go ahead. I'll watch the library." "Thank you, Mrs. Olsen." I treat Davon at the fast food. He got the extra-large burger and fries and deserves it today. What he did for me was overwhelming, and I am speechless. It was amazing. "How did you come up with that idea?" "I just thought of it. I got your back, Mia. Now that I am here, I won't let anything bad happen to you." His words mean a lot to me. He melts my heart. It was nice to have someone to watch over you. "Mia? I thought you were on duty. Who's the guy?" “Theo! This is…my….” “Hi, I’m Davon. I’m Mia’s friend,” Davon interrupted, shaking hands with Theo. “Friend? How come
MIA'S POV"His eyes, his eyes!" Theo's voice quivered, panic-stricken him. I pulled him up, but he stepped back, moving away from Davon. He was shaking in fear."I fell on my bike, Davon. I was being careless.""Be careful next time," Davon caresses my cheek, "I know some herbs to put on it.""What the fuck?! Mia, what is he? And you?" Theo stuttered. I blinked my eyes, warning him not to talk. Davon could hear him.We didn't notice Davon started into the woods. He looked back at me and urged me to follow him."Yes, I'm coming," I answered and told Theo to go home, "I'll see you at school tomorrow. I promise I'll explain everything.""You should. Will you be okay alone with him? Because I can come if….""I'll be fine, Theo, and please don't tell anyone what you saw," I ran away and chased after Davon. Theo didn't leave and waited for me to catch up with Davon. He watched us go. He has a lot of questions right now, but I need time to think. If I tell him, Cheska will get mad at him too
MIA'S POV"Then what is he, Mia?" Theo demanded an answer. I know he needs clarification, but I cannot risk divulging the information in school. It can wait.Our classmates arrived, and so as Professor Callahan. I settled in my chair."Later," Theo said, going back to his chair.I am left with no choice but to confess to Theo. If he chooses to tell Cheska, I will accept the consequences of my action. After all, I stole the notebook and hid it from her.Professor Callahan talks about our town legends. Where werewolves used to live in our land along with humans. Humans and werewolves co-exist. But as the years go by, werewolves depart our town for no reason, and since then, no one knows where they are now or do they still live up to this day.Weird. Professor Callahan was so fascinated by legends, especially werewolves. Has he seen one before? And why did werewolves leave our town? In Davon's case, he was left behind. Fifty years in the notebook, who would have dared to wait for him?"Hu
MIA'S POV Mom heard a loud crash and hurried out. Their room was across the corridor, and my brother Oliver was in the center. Oliver didn't hear him. He's probably playing video games and on the headphone. But who wouldn't hear Theo? He's almost six feet tall and medium built. His weight is enough to shake our entire house made of wood. Mom saw him lying unconscious on the floor. "Oh, my God! What happened to him?" "I don't know, Mom. He just fell." I stood next to Theo, shaking him using my feet. Pulling him alone is impossible. He's so heavy. "Help me pull him." Thank God, Mom proposes. We pulled Theo inside my room. Mom laid an extra bed on the floor, and we placed Theo there. She told me to get Vicks Vaporub and smothered him. His skin was cold and pale. "Watch him and call me when he wakes up. Is he sick? Why did he faint? He looked fine earlier." "I have no idea, Mom. Maybe Theo wasn't feeling well already. Who knows," shrugging, I move to the bedside and close the not
MIA'S POV Those predatory eyes startled me. Looking at me with a strangled expression. Theo shut the window and pulled down the blinds. He took the notebook and asked Davon about the creature stuttering. "They are werewolves. I can sense them," Davon wrote. "Holy shit! Werewolves are real, and they ate still here in our town. I thought they were gone," Theo sat on my bed, flabbergasted. "That's the reason why I ask about them in class. If Davon exists, so does his kind. Werewolves are hiding. Lurking in the shadows. They exist!" Davon wrote something. Theo and I are waiting for him to finish his words. "And there's a big possibility that my people are still alive. However, the wolf outside was checking on Mia." "Me? Why me?" Davon went silent. I remember one time when I saw a claw hiding behind the tree—the idea of it as a werewolf didn't sink in me until today. "Maybe they caught Davon's scent and followed it. We need to find a way to break your boyfriend's curse. Those were
MIA'S POVWhen I opened my eyes, I was in the middle of the woods. I've searched the way out, but it was a never-ending trail. That part of the woods was unknown to me. And each time I tried to leave, darkness swallowed me entirely, and I was back where I started. "Help! Can somebody hear me?" I screamed out my lungs. Hoping that someone was out there to save me.Then, I heard a noise nearby. There was shouting, giving commands, and a howl followed. Unexpectedly, a werewolf passed by me chasing the moose. I hid behind the tree quickly, but he was not the only one. "Oh, God!" Frightened, I ran farther from their hunting ground so they couldn't smell my scent until I reached a community in that woodland. A group of natives. "Where am I? This is definitely not my hometown."Hesitation held me back from entering their territory. But I was hopeless in finding help. Fortunately, an older woman came out and invited me in. Without a word, she held my hand, and I eventually felt compelle
MIA'S POV I was in such a scurry, limping. Two steps of my feet were like ten steps for them. I suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. When I saw the wolves approaching really close, I covered my face and waited for them to devour my fragile body. Out of nowhere, Davon appeared in front of me. The wolves stopped and stared at him. They were listening to each other's growling. Davon's eyes are blazing with fury. He didn't shift, but his claws came out with his fangs. The wolves looked at each other, hesitating to come forward. They're like communicating, and one of them jumps on Davon. And with his strength, Davon hoisted the wolf and smashed him into the tree effortlessly. It whimpers and runaway. The other two backed off, tails between their legs, and retreated. "Mia, are you okay?" He squatted, checking on me. "Not really. I think my foot is swelling. I twist my ankle falling on my bike." Davon removed my shoes, and as expected, it started to bulge. Davon helped me to
MIA'S POV "Davon!" Davon heard me and announced that he was going home. His parents are expecting him to go home early, he reasoned. He didn't wait for Mom to stop him and headed to the door. When Mom followed him, he was gone. Leaving the door open. "That's strange," Mom said, scratching her head. It was nerve-wracking. I thought Davon would disappear in their front. My heart skipped beating out of fright. "You're friend is gone. He must have run fast." Mom went back to the table to finish her food. "Yeah, he runs fast. He's an athlete." "I think I like him, Mia," Oliver stood and put his plate in the sink, "You should say yes. Davon is strong. He can protect you." Mom laughed, listening to him. Oliver started to the stairs and looked back at us. "Don't make me repeat it. It would be best if you had a boyfriend. You are not getting any younger. I bet all your classmates have one." Oliver added and ran to his room. “Ah? Mom!” I finked on her. "Seriously, study first
