One Afternoon“Elinor, are you alright?” Colin rushed to her side. He grabbed her by the shoulders making her stand to her feet.She was still a bit disoriented. Her eyes remained on the dried blood left on the spot where the rabbit was.“Hey, hey. Look at me.” She felt his hand on her jaw, turning her face so that she could directly meet his gaze.“Eli, what happened?” His voice demanded, filled with concern.But his words are of no use to snap from her acting deaf and mute because she just witnessed a dead rabbit come back to life.Colin held her hand, leading her as they walked back to the trunk where their other weapons are.His eyes searched her whole body, looking for a wound or anything that might cause her to suddenly act like she had been struck by something, leaving her speechless and in a state of shock.She is a were-witch. She just confirmed it herself.What she did back there was a form of sorcery. She is sure of it. Because how else can bringing someone back to life wor

The PlanColin howled to call for help, even though he knows that there is a small chance that he can be heard by his pack.In times such as the annual hunt, creatures like him were lost to their deep innate instinct. Every one of beings alike only had one thing on their mind at such time: to hunt prey, whether it be small or big. Attending to help someone seemed to be their last concern. However, Colin never stopped howling to call for anyone in his pack to help him as he tends to Elinor who is now weakened. Her eyes are doozy, and her breathing is unstable.Can you switch back to your human form? he asked her.Elinor's eyes locked with his. She pats them, and then she slowly nods her head.She switched to her frail human form, naked as a baby. The wounds she endured are in her lower abdomen, and she endured a scratch on her right arm.Her big curly hair covers her breasts. Colin's eyes checked for any hidden wounds but were relieved when there were no more wounds apart from the one

A FarewellShe stood long by their cabin's door, finding the courage to open it and go inside without breaking down into tears.There are a lot of reasons why she would break down and cry. But she understood she had no time for it.Hell, I cannot even afford the time to cry now. A voice in her head said.She has to go somewhere far. She has to. For if she stayed longer, and even if Colin's family wanted to take her in into their estate, she will not stand every single day of it.Not when Colin broke her heart, and she had to stay in the same place as him. That is not something she can manage.It hurts a lot. But she mustered up her courage and strength to leave the estate. Which she did, unnoticed.She did feel bad for not saying her farewell to Tatiana, Conrad, and Bonnie. It is not because she doesn't want to. It's that she cannot face them in a such state she is in.She looked like a mess. She is too hurt to face anyone without bursting into tears. And so she did what she thought w

TwinsThe night was bustling and she could hear the faint sounds of cars passing through and the traffic below the apartment. However, it does not bother her. Strangely, she finds the stifled sound relaxing.Her room is on the third floor, and the walls are made of concrete, filtering the sound of the busy street down.She watched from her bed the city lights through a floor-to-ceiling window in her room.Two months had passed, and she finds herself doing better. She had thought about Ashmore from time to time, about Bonnie, about Colin every night when she goes to bed. And she'll sleep with a heavy heart, with tears threatening to flow down her cheeks.Everything will get better soon, was the only hope she is clinging to. No matter how difficult she finds life in this new world, she chose to believe that there will come a time when everything she finds hard at the moment will come easily to her. That she will get accustomed to the ways of humans.She fell asleep again after blankly s

Looming ShadowA pair of dark eyes watched the lit window of a building, careful not to be noticed by the one who was living there as he was advised by someone to not get caught."Watch them, but do not show yourself.""Alright, I will. But now what?" he asked, quite unsure about the next step. Now that he figured out where she lived, what will he do next? "Now what?" said the man, his brows twitching. His hands that rubbed his beard stopped, eyes flicking at him. "That is all I do? Watch them?" The man reclined on his seat, he picked up a bottle of whiskey and played with it. "For now, yes. That is all you do. Remember, do not get caught.""But why? I think it is the best if she knew--""I said, do not get caught! As long as she is doing fine, do not show yourself. Watch them for me," the man said, snapping at him for asking questions.He could only scratch his head and nodded at the same time. This man in front of him is a new man.But he was such a fool for this woman. All the p
