A large familiar wolf jumps right in front of me. I force my legs to halt to avoid getting crash into him again.
The wolf or Rudolf-what should I address him with?
I shake my head to focus and take a step back quickly, breathing hard as he takes a step towards me.
"Stop right there, Rudolf!" And much to my amazement the wolf does, like he listens.
And this makes me puke my gut out.
This is insane.
I jump slightly as few more wolves surround me, making me feel crowded and maybe a slight bit unsafe. I turn around and glare at Rudolf's wolf.
"Tell your dogs to step a little bit away from me. They are crowding me. " I heard growls at the word 'dog'. These werewolves should know I'm mean ass bitch even in the life or death situation, I don't let anything deter me from who I am.
Werewolf or not, I don't give a damn about them.
Rudolf's wolf tilts his head slightly looking at me straight in eyes making me frown. The staring contest last a few more seconds before his eyes glazed, a sudden cloudiness invade his eyes before it's gone and with that all the other wolves bow their heads and leave us, returning back from wherever they had come from in the first place until only me and the black wolf remains looking at each other.
"Leader of them?" I motion my head at the retreating figures of wolves.
Rudolf's wolf nods his head at me in one slight motion. My eyes wonder around my surroundings, thinking-contemplating.
Would it hurt to try to make a run for it again?
Maybe.
Or maybe not.
But those wolves must still be around waiting for me to run again, I frown at the thought. They didn't kill me yet. And I think they won't until provoked so I'd like to keep it that way.
I hate being out of control. It's all because of this human-no not human - werewolf infront of me!
Body heavy with exhaustion and legs feel like they could fall off from my body, I do the only reasonable thing by slumping down on the muddy ground carelessly. Laying down at my back, I stare at the sky and the tall trees above me.
I let my mind get blank of anything. I need to think. Getting aggressive here won't help my situation.
This is stupid. I want to strangle this infuriating big bad wolf with my hands!
Calm, Miracle. Calm.
And then my vision gets block by a big black head of wolf and a sneer left my lips,
"Get away from my face!"
The wolf above me, snorts, it's hot breath falling over me.
Without thinking, I lift my head and put it on it's snort, immediately the tingles spread over my hand but I ignore then and push him away from my face but it dodges my hand and hovers above me again.
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
Why am I not getting scared and running for my life? I have no idea. But it hasn't made any attempt in wanting to eat me yet so I'm testing my luck here.
"Get away, Rudolf! I'm tired of this! Just get away this instant!"
"For fuck sake! Get your head away from me! Let me lay in peace for a second!" I keep protesting and snapping but it didn't have any effect on his wolf or him?
I don't know.
But he just keeps coming back and hovering over me like a dark shadow, shaking his head at me and trying to look at my face.
I fist my hand to refrain myself from punching but he is making it hard not to.
Gritting my teeth, I lay still and glare at him.
My glare turns into frown as I look into those eyes. They turn brighter than before, the golden glowing brightly. But there is more, the Wolf's eyes are not like Rudolf's, it's gaze is tender-almost soft. Vulnerability which I've never seen on Rudolf's eyes.
And that makes me pause.
Is it not Rudolf? But it's the same wolf.
"Who are you?" I voice out my thought and I watch in surprise as it's eyes widen slightly before it yelps, tongue hanging out. Then, the wolf growls to himself, his head jerks slightly.
These wolves are weird. Stupid but weird.
I make a disgusted face before rolling away and standing up, brushing the leaves and twigs from my clothes.
I heard the sound of snapping bones and turn around with a straight tensed back as I look at the transformation happening for the second time in front of my eyes.
Then in the place of wolf, Rudolf stands and stark naked.
But I didn't turn around, I keep looking at his face, keeping my eyes on his and he does the same.
"I'm sorry about my wolf, it's-" I cut him off.
He cuts off whatever he was about to say when he looks at my frown.
He sighs , shaking his head before continuing.
"I'll explain my wolf later but for now..."
"Are you ready now to listen? Or do you want to have another go at it?" He mocks motioning ahead of us with his hand.
"Go ahead. Try. Give it a shot. But I'll drag you back here. " He looks at me eyes hard and that's when I notice the slight purple bump on his forehead. I smile mentally in triumph.
"So? What you say? I may quite like the chase wanna try again." My fists tighten at the mockery but I keep my glare intact. Face hard, muscles tensed, he moves toward me-naked as gracefully as he could.
I keep my lips shut. He stands before me, his height taller than me as he stares down at me.
"Open that mouth of yours and say something."
"What do you want?" His eyes roam my face, searching something. Before he nods.
"Are you ready to listen?" This time, I nod, realizing it's probably useless to run now. Might as well hear what they want from me before thinking of running again.
"Move now." My eyebrows shoot upward at his command.
"Don't order me around." I hiss at him with narrowed eyes.
He takes a deep breath in, closing his eyes and jaw clenched before they are opened again.
"Move.... Please." Giving him unimpressed look this time, I turn around and walk back from where we'd come from.
"Put some clothes on before you haunt the children out there for their lives." I throw back at him but still looking ahead. Hearing him growl in annoyance pleasures me to no end.
His steps steadily and firm as he follows me.
As soon as we get near to the opening, a man in shorts, jogs toward us with another brown shorts in his hand. I didn't miss the glare, he had sent towards me discreetly, must be the one I had called dog before.
As soon as we step out of the forest, everyone stop doing whatever they were doing and stare at us.
"Here we go." I mumble, rolling my eyes.
" Get back to your work, everyone!" Rudolf's authority filled voice rings out and everyone scatters moving away but still looking curiously from the corner of their eyes.
Without turning around, I keep walking toward the same white house, I'd run from. Now when I notice it properly, it's big-very big but smaller than mine.
Still looking ahead, I keep my face steady as I make my way toward it, Rudolf following me behind silently. Among the chirping of birds and the murmurs of talking , I heard some different noise that makes me halt in my path.
Frowning and looking down, I concentrate on the sound, when a sudden force urges me to follow the noise.
Without knowing what I am doing , my legs start moving.
"Where are you going?" I heard Rudolf from my behind but I lift my hand up in a wait gesture.
I round up the house in which I was intended to go and reach the backside of it.
Fiery hot rage rises inside my chest at the scene unfolding in front of my eyes.
Three boys are punching a fragile looking boy who has bended in himself leaning against the wall to protect himself from the hits.
"Stop." A broken voice rasps. The voice of the boy, now I notice the blood stains on his tattered white shirt.
"What? You want us to stop? Too bad!" One of them says, spitting on the ground.
"Take it like a man, yeah? But oh you're not even one." Another one taunts while the other laughs.
Striding forward in haste, I place myself in front of bended boy, pushing away the brown haired boy, who is about to raise his fist, by yanking his collar.
"Hey! Get away from him!" Another black haired little wimp growl at me.
These pups!
I throw a menacing glare at him and challenge him silently.
Even though they are tall and muscular, they still seem like teenagers. And I know very well how to put them in place.
"We haven't seen this human girl around, who is she?" Sandy brown haired boy among them asks, looking at me suspiciously. I roll my eyes at them before turning to the boy who is bended silently, wishing us to not notice him.
"Are you alright?" I ask him, maintaining some distance between us. He startles, jumping a little and pushing himself against the wall, still bending. I look at this broken self with fury.
He should fight back!
He should learn to fight back! You don't let anyone bully you. Because once you did, they will always do it. No one can stop it, unless it is you.
"Fight back, boy!" I grit at him making the boy stills.
"Stand straight and fight back."
"I-I... I can't." A low whisper comes from his self making me scowl at him.
"You can, do you hear me? You-" I get cut off by the voice behind me and I turn around just in time to see the boy who I had yanked away, coming at me.
Blocking his attack by grabbing his fist in my palm, I give him a warning glance.
"I don't hit kids. But don't give me a reason to do it." I say in a calm tone.
"Because believe me, I can hit you so hard and I will if provoked."
"You bitch-"
A growl is heard before the boys suddenly and very quickly turn around in alarm. Their shoulders tense and back straight.
"Alpha." They all bow, quickly. I look over their shoulder to see Rudolf glaring at the boy who had tried to hit me.
His eyes darkening each passing second and I notice the finger twitching on his left hand.
"No." I say. Rudolf's eyes flicker over to me as I give him a stern look.
"They are kids. No." I repeat looking at his eyes.
"But they disrespected you and -"
"Their parents or better, their leader should make them learn and practice all that morals and manners, I believe. And also not to bully people." I give him a sarcastic smile. I struck a nerve by saying 'their leader' as his eyes darken in anger.
The brown haired one whips his head around looking at me with fury in his black eyes.
"But he is a suppressed wolf!"
I give him a blank look.
"And what is that?"
The boys look at me with confusion and disbelief.
"Suppressed wolf-"
"Enough!" Rudolf's roar cuts him off, effectively. I notice that the boys start shaking profusely at the roar.
"Al... Alpha.."
"I will have a word with the three of you, later. Until then, don't let me find you around. "
They nod frantically, head still bowed.
"Leave." Rudolf orders with authority in his voice and the boys walk hurriedly away.
I hear a slight movement from behind making me look over my shoulder.
"And where are you going?" I ask, startling the boy.
"I-I... The A.. Al...Alpha said to-" I halt his stuttering before he could stutter anymore.
"Look up." I order and surprisingly he does.
Slowly raising his head, he straightens himself from his bending position.
His body is lean almost like he has been starved but his shoulders are strong. As a fighter, I know strong points when I see one. His shoulders are straight, strong even though when he seems so weak.
His white shirt has been torn from the sleeve and the neckline. Then he lifts his head and looks at me.
Hazel eyes stare down at me with emotions swirling in them. But what sticks out most- fear.
Nose crooked like it had been broken and chiseled jaw. His collar bone prodding out. Heart shaped lips split from the corner with a trail of blood.
Even in his broken state, he is beautiful. Not handsome. But a beautiful boy.
But what struck out most are his eyes. Those hazel eyes are innocent and expressive. Breathtaking.
Am I really admiring a boy?
I shake my head instantly. What is wrong with me?
"Are you both done staring at each other?" Someone growls from behind and the boy stiffen visibly, frantic eyes darting everywhere but at me.
And I sigh.
I am so frustrated with the events happening in my life. I miss my cat.
