‘’ Is this the end?’’ Rain’s hands were quivering in fear and her legs gave in. her legs were frozen to the spot.
‘’ What are you doing out here Babe?’’ the familiar voice called from behind her.
Rain moved her face and glanced behind her to see the face of Bella.
Her mouth dropped in ease.
‘’ Bella? What are you doing here?’’.
‘’ Surprise, there’s not much work, so I came in early. I thought we could spend the rest of the day chatting. I even brought some berries to make some dessert.’’
‘’ But, why are you sweating so much?’’.
As Rain had expected she couldn’t fool the eyes of her best friend. Sweats were rolling down her face just like a waterfall.
Her face was worn-down from all the running, which made it weary.
‘’ Anything wrong?’’ Bella asked again.
Later that night,Bella was lost in the thoughts of Odin who didn’t come to see her once in the day nor the night. Her heart was on the verge of breaking up.She kept turning back and forth in bed out of restlessness. When she faced Bella, she could hear her snoring very much clearly.‘’ I had been living all my life relying on others. Isn’t this the time I do something by myself?’’.Bella’s words that Odin came here but didn’t come inside her house is something that she had never expected to happen.‘’ It may be but….he’s not starting to hate me for some reason is he?’’.‘’ That’s not the reason right?’’.She got up from her bed at the end. She searched for some water by her side, but the glass was empty.So she walked towards the kitchen and fetched a glass of water.While drinking it, the face of Odin was
‘’ Are you alright Rain?’’ he asked, his voice was cracking up. He panted hard, and was taking deep breaths as well. His grip was tighter around her waist. He held her near his chest, she was able to hear his heart beating faster than ever.She was wrapped by his warmth, feeling secured. ‘’ Rain?’’ he called again. ‘’ Yes…I’m fine….thanks for protecting me. I was feeling scared.’’ He heaved a sigh. And held her even more tightly than before. ‘’ I will protect you from these fiends. Come at me,’’ he yelled taking out his sharp claws, showing them. He held her in his arms and jumped up and down fighting them. Even though he was in his wolf form, fighting against all of those hunters and the wolves, were proving hard to him as he was getting exhausted from dodging also. ‘’ Hey, why are these people after you though?’’ he asked while fighting. Rain gave no answer to his question. ‘’ Can’t you hear
‘’ W-what’s happening?’’ Rain couldn’t grasp a hold of the things which were happening around her.‘’ Odin! Odin!’’ she called for numerous times. But there was no reply.She touched his back, and was able to feel the arrow which stuck to his back.‘’ Is this…..an arrow? I’ll get this out right away,’’ Rain pulled it out with all of her strength and threw it away.But that caused the wound to start bleeding. She touched the wound again only to get her fingers stained with his blood.In a minute they were lying in a pool of blood.The smell of copper filled her nostrils. She recognized the smell right away. It was the smell of blood which she had felt when her parents were slaughtered by a rogue pack.The same feeling is coming back to her once again.That horrible nightmare which she had tried to escape from all her life, is c
Odin’s P.O.VUgh, what’s up with the pain spreading far and across my body?I feel as if something is making my body feel numb. I can’t feel anything anymore.‘’ This is the curse which you are born. The curse which is going to kill you eventually.’’A woman’s voice whispered in my ears.I opened up my eyes to see a woman standing in front of me.She had white hair, just like the light of the moon showering down its rays onto the ground.Her eyes were cold and blue like the sea.The way she stared at me with the darkness in them made me feel cold from inside out.Wait, what is she doing here?‘’Why are you here?’’ I yelled at her.‘’ Have you forgotten what you have done in the past? Have you forgotten what you have done to my daughter?’’.‘’ Your….daughter?’’.‘
‘’ What’s wrong?’’ August asked, seeing Rain not moving at all. She just froze on the spot.‘’It’s nothing.’’Odin started groaning in his unconscious state.His lips were parted and he squinted his eyes in discomfort.He was sweating also.Rain kept tracing the spot where he was hurt.‘’ This is just like the premonition. But why did he get hurt in the back instead of the arm?’’.‘’ Is this because of me? Because I went to see him everything changed? I am the reason behind everything? Or else he wouldn’t have gotten hurt?’’.Rain couldn’t think anything now. Nothing made sense to her.‘’ Hey, are you hearing? Do you see any chance for him to recover?’’.August’s words made her snap back to reality.She flipped him over right away.August sneaked a peek
Someone opened the door right away. It was a wolf from their pack. ‘’ How’s the condition-‘’ August interrupted. ‘’ We are managing. You can leave now.’’ ‘’ But-‘’. ‘’ Leave! Do what I say right now.’’ August’s yelling created a shrill down the wolf's spine. ‘’ Alright,’’ it left the room right away, closing the door behind with a sound. ‘’ Now,’’ he turned to Rain who was shuddering in fear because of the way he shouted in front of her just now. Anyone would be frightened by his yelling. ‘’ Get out of my sight. I’ll see what else can we do about him.’’ He pushed her aside right away. She fell to the ground. Her right leg was hurt. Still, she tried to get up. August started pacing up and down around Odin. ‘’ He’s in a trance state. A nightmare or something is haunting him, not letting him be conscious,’’ her murmuring made him turn to her. ‘’ What’s haunting him?’’
Thereafter, August didn’t come back, and half an hour had passed by.He was at the cellar where they have held captive the prisoners.The one who had hurt Odin was found and he was separated from the rest for interrogation.He was pinned on the wall with his hands and legs tied, restricting his movement.August stood in front of him in his wolf form.‘’ Do you mind speaking up now?’’ he growled.The man with a scar on his forehead glared at him. One of his eyes was black as pitch dark from all the beating he was given.Blood was dripping from his lips.‘’ I won’t speak,’’ was all that came out of his mouth.August couldn’t keep his actions in control and punched him again in the nose.Blood started dripping down from his nose also.The man stared at him and started laughing out laughter.August found it strange. Another wolf came after
Odin’s breathing became even more uneven. He was panting desperately. Seeing this, Rain held onto his hand tightly to give him comfort.‘’ Please don’t die on me. There are so many things for us to see and do. Don’t die on me.’’‘’ I want to tell you so many things, from my very own mouth. So, don’t die. I want to tell you how happy I have been ever since you came into my life. I want to tell you about the pain that I suffer whenever you aren’t beside me.’’‘’ I want to share all the emotions that I feel. I want to share my love. I want to tell you everything. Please give me the chance to share them with you.’’‘’ I want to tell you how much empty I felt when my parents had gone away from my life. I wanted to tell you the excitement in my heart when I had found out that you were the one I was destined to.’’‘’ I
