^^Grisella POV
I woke up from my sleep because I heard a sound that was quite noisy. I changed my position to sit, rubbed my eyes roughly, and immediately looked out my bedroom window. That's when I saw an unpleasant sight. There were already a lot of people working on things in the backyard. I stood up to my bedroom window. "Oh shiitt," I cursed
I immediately ran out, until I unconsciously hit Margaret, who happened to pass by "Oh dear, what's wrong?" Margaret asked me. I caught my breath, "Hiuuff, what's out there? What are they doing?" I asked. Margaret frowned. She paused for a moment, "Grisella, did you forget? You asked me to make a fence in the backyard, right? So they made it for you," Margaret replied. I shook my head, not to accept it.
"No, you can't do it" I ran back to the backyard then shouted, forbidding the men to build a fence. I screamed hysterically as loud as I could for them to stop their work. "You all hear? I don't want you to build that fence," I snapped harshly.
"Wow, calm down. Why are you shouting like that? They can hear you, "said Maria approaching me. Suddenly I took my breath, managing my emotions as calmly as possible. Margaret gave her husband a code, then the men left and stopped working. Maria asked me to return to the room and explained why I was acting like that.
I still catch my breath even though Maria has been staring at me closely, even though she is waiting for me to speak, but her sharp gaze proves her annoyance to me. "Okay, tell me now," Maria said impatiently. I rolled my eyes lazily "what? Nothing is wrong. I just changed my mind about the fence. that's all, "I replied firmly.
Maria shook her head, "no, I know what you are thinking. Grisella, you won't stop, right? You will stick with your will, right?" said Maria deadly. I just kept quiet, hearing Maria chatter. What Maria told me is true. I don't want that backyard to be fenced any more. I've been too curious about my ambition, and I can't stop. There was a belief in me that I would find success with the werewolf.
"You know, Grisella? Whatever happens to you after this, I don't care, okay ?. I'm worried about you, and you're not worried about yourself." Maria patted her forehead irritatedly as if she cared about me. I can only silently sigh heavily. I don't want to stop." Maria? I promise you, there won't be a problem, okay? Come on, for the first time, and I'm not thinking about suicide anymore, so please. Leave me with all this," I begged.
"Okay, do what you think is right, as long as you take care of yourself," Maria said and walked away. I leaned my head against the sofa. My eyes glanced back at the backyard from my bedroom window. If not now, then when? I also decided to go back into the forest when Margaret and Maria were off guard.
Patiently enough, I waited for Maria and Margaret to be off guard. When I made sure Maria was busy reading the novel while Margaret was watching television, I calmly headed to the house's backyard. When the edge of the forest, I took a deep breath, then ventured into the forest
My footsteps feel light, even though I still feel the fear. I can't lie to myself. This is the crazy thing I do. I realized that maybe even one of the werewolves would kill me right away, but the resentment in my heart had turned me into a reckless woman without a sane mind anymore.
The sound of a wooden branch that I stepped on made a noise in the middle of this forest. I don't know why the sunlight doesn't brighten the woods, maybe because of the thick fog up there. It's just that I can still see the path I'm on. I don't know how far I went into the forest. The air started to feel cold. "Nes, Nessa?" I started screaming for the werewolf woman's name
"Oh my God, I must be crazy," I said grumpily, my eyes deftly looking in all directions. I keep myself as tight as possible; I even keep a knife in the pocket of my back just in case. Hey, who knows the dangers that might be stalking me
"Nessa? Can you hear me? Nessa? Come out, "I shouted. I don't know, and I decided to walk further into the forest. I increasingly met the trees whose leaves were more dense and fertile. The land I stepped on seemed to be getting damp too. "Nessa, please come out," I shouted again. that's when I heard someone passing in the bush. I stopped flying and started looking in various directions.
Again someone was passing in the bush, I looked back, and there was no one there, it was too fast. This time from my left, something was giving in the bush. I looked around to my left, "Oh shiit, who's there?" I shouted firmly. I'm not sure screaming like that would terrify the creatures that bothered me now.
"Arrghhhh," a growled voice. Yeah, I heard a growl. I knew it. This isn't a good thing for me, I can't see anyone, but I can listen to a growl. It was like the sound of a beast, more precisely the wolf growling like that time. but this growling sound sounded heavier than the last I heard
"Nessa? Is that you? "I said. After I told Nessa's name, suddenly something hit me. I shrieked in surprise because my body fell and made me stretched out on the ground. I opened my eyes as wide as possible to see who had stepped on my hand.
"Oh my God," I cried because now a wolf with an unnatural size pressed against my body. It growled, showing its fangs at me, right in front of my face. My heart is rustling. Why? Because it's a different wolf than the one I met. Nessa has gray fur, but this wolf has deep black coat and golden irises "who are you?" I asked courageously. The black werewolf groaned at me more and more. The wolf smelled my scent. I couldn't move. My hands felt sore from being stepped on by the wolf's strong feet.
"Are you Nessa's friend?" I asked again. My eyes and the black wolf's eyes met each other, the wolf growled again, and suddenly five more wolves came. The wolves were standing behind as if watching what this black wolf was doing to me.
Black smoke surrounded the black wolf, and then it turned into a human, to be more precise, he turned into a man, his hair was long black. The clothes he was wearing were a little complicated for me to explain. He grinned at me with one sharp fang, only one of his fangs protruding.
"Ahh, who are you?" I asked, trying to get up. My breath began to feel chasing. I turned to stare at the wolf behind the man. They are still black wolves. I looked back at the man's face "I know you're a werewolf. Where is Nessa?" I asked again. The man with a face that looked oppressive suddenly laughed out loud. He laughed mockingly at me.
"Wow, wow, a human being, even a woman. How dare you go into the forest alone. You even smell different, you know that bitch Nessa, too?" said the man. I swallowed Saliva harshly. From what the man said, it seemed he did not have a good relationship with Nessa. Meeting this man was terrifying than meeting Nessa. A darker and stronger aura I felt from this man, even his voice that sounded heavy already made me goosebumps.
I slowly stepped back. I began to feel uncomfortable "what's wrong? why don't you ask like that again?" asked the man walking towards me. I shook my head roughly. My feet continued to step back. It was useless. Because the next second, the man walked quickly towards me, embracing my waist and making my body so close to his body. "I'm Nathan," said the man with a sly smile, "and I hate the woman you are asking about, hahahahah," he laughed.
I was already too scared, so I unconsciously grabbed the knife from behind me, took it out, and slashed it right into the man's arm. The man shrieked in surprise and let go of his hug on my lap. With my trembling legs, I ran away from the man.
"Damn, woman?" I heard the man shouted, I made sure my feet ran quickly, but it turned out that what I was doing was in vain. I don't know where the man came from; he was already standing in front of me, grabbing my arms roughly and roaring at me sharply "how dare you to do that to me" snapped the man. I winced, holding the pain in my arm because of the man's grip "I beg you, let me go," I whined "arghhhh," I cried, it felt the man's sharp nails began to touch my skin.
"Let go of me" I shouted again hysterically when I saw the jacket on my arm Sobel, and blood has come out of my arm, it seems my arm was injured because the man's steamed scratched. I took a deep breath, tears suddenly flowing down my cheeks just like that. This is not what I want. what my life will end
"Stop this attitude of yours," snapped someone. Like the wind, something brushed my body, and Nessa was standing right beside me; she glared at the man. "Take your grip off that woman Nathan, she's my enemy and only for me," said Nessa more firmly. Nessa grabbed the hand of the man named Nathan.
"Arghhhh" shouted Nathan, releasing his grip on me. I immediately closed my arms, my tears flowed, my breath was short, and I was like a very persecuted woman here. "Nessa," I said wistfully. Nessa turned to look at me "useless human," Nessa said to me, and after that, I felt my vision blurred, my head felt dizzy and heavy. I didn't understand why I suddenly felt this. "Nessa, Nessa," I said again, but when I called Nessa's name, my mouth felt very heavy, i can't feel my body much less. That's when I lost my consciousness.
^^ Grisella POVThere is a different smell that smells to me, like something moist. I don't know. I find it hard to explain. That scent made me open my eyes. More precisely, I forced my eyes open. My eyes felt heavy, and when I managed to open my eyes, my head was throbbing very painfully "Oghhh," I complained, holding my head.With difficulty, I change my position to sit. I wake up in a room that is foreign to me. My eyes greeted my surroundings. This is a place I've never been to before. I just realized that my body now only wears a tank top; my right arm is bandaged. I briefly recalled what had made my arm wrapped like this. The man named Nathan hurt me until my arm was bleeding like this."Is there someone here?" I asked in my low voice, my throat hoarse. I don't know where I am now, and I still don't know who helped me. "Hey? is there someone? "I said again. I'm not sure someone heard my screams that low. I let out a heavy sigh, confused at the situation I
^^Grisella POVMaybe I want to know something, but the universe hasn't allowed me to know that. Maria's reaction when she heard Nathan's name was still a question mark for me. Maria was surprised, and her eyes flashed an expression of disbelief in my story, but no words were spoken from Maria's mouth. I mean, She didn't say anything, why was She surprised. Nor did Maria ask anything about Nathan. Maria just sighed when she heard my story, and she walked away, leaving me.Like right now, me, Maria and Dennis were playing cards. Even though I was lost in curiosity, Maria chose to act normal, as if nothing had happened "you guys lose again, hahaha your's bad in this game," said Maria, belittling Dennis and me"Ahhhh, I'm done," I said tiredly. I'm getting tired of playing cards. Dennis and Maria sighed in annoyance because I just walked away and chose to sit in the backyard. It feels like going into the forest for me is now addictive. I want to hear that man's voic
^^Grisella POVThe wind blew, making the sound of the leaves of the trees. I sat in front of Maria with full concentration to hear the story of Maria's past. I did not press or ask Maria many questions; I gave her the space to make her comfortable and tell me everything comfortably."Okay, I'm ready to tell you this, Grisella, you know,? Every girl must dream of having a man, right? I mean, when we were small like oh god, the prince is so handsome, I want to be a princess and meet a man like that." Maria demonstrated her movements like a princess; I smiled sweetly nodded in agreement with her words."Then the more you grow up, suddenly your assessment of men will change, right ?. When I was 17 years old I started to think this was a small village, I had to meet a bigger world out there, and maybe someone out there, I mean the man I was looking for meeting me. Hey, I don't want a wealthy or handsome guy or a job like a celebrity. No, I want a man who protects me,
^^Grisella POVIt took a massive decision for me when I opened my laptop. I sighed heavily sitting down with the blue notebook that was open in front of me. I don't know when was the last time I touched this laptop "okay, and I can do it" I said firmly convinced myself.My hands were still shaking erratically as I started typing. The title I made up at that time was 'werewolf', so I deleted it again because I wasn't sure about that title. I have to think of something new for my book. I had to get my book to be accepted by the editor immediately without any negative drama.I got up and held my forehead, thinking aloud what title would be suitable for my book. My eyes turned to the backyard; the green pine forest is still the best view I've seen so far. I screamed in frustration because I could not bear to go back into the woods."Dear?" someone came into my room. I jumped in surprise "oh my god, Mom?" My feelings were both happy and shocked when I saw my M
^^Grisella POVMy career as a writer didn't just happen. At first, I intended only to write poetry, but when so many editors rejected my script, and I fell because of it. I also met Claudia.The accidental encounter between Claudia and me was like a drama too. At that time Claudia had a big fight with her boyfriend in a café. I happened to be in the same café and witnessed Claudia arguing with her boyfriend.I thought only a small debate between lovers happened between them, and it turned out that I was wrong to judge, suddenly another woman came hugging and kissing Claudia's lover right in front of Claudia's eyes. At that time, I was watching the incident and was very hurt. What about Claudia, who was in that relationship?Claudia cried, sobbing because her boyfriend left her alone. I could not stand to see how I was. I walked over to Claudia, put my arm around Claudia's shoulder, and took her to my little apartment. I comforted Claudia as
^^ Grisella POVThis time there was no sad drama when my parents left back to home. My mom and My dad are sure I'm a lot better here, which is why they feel calmer. Even though My mom told me many times that she would still visit me. I think the warmth of the family also makes me feel better."Okay honey, take care of yourself. Bye "said my mom waving her hand at me. My eyes filled with tears staring at my parents' car, which had gone and disappeared at the end of the road. "Ohh this northern city is full of priceless beauty," Claudia said in my ear. She shifted my concentration "what?" I asked, confused"Look, the view of the hill, oh my God can we go around the city, Maria?" Claudia asked, turning to take Maria's arm. Claudia even put on a spoiled facial expression when she begged Maria to go around town "okay, okay. Hmmm, let's do that, "said Maria resignedly. Claudia cheered happily and bounced like a child getting sweet candy.I, Maria and Claudia ha
^^Grisella POVThe sun was almost half set, and I was escorted by four wolves leading me to go home "I do not understand why Nessa hates me so much" I grumbled irritably. Like last time, one wolf was walking in front of me to show me the way, and three wolves are guarding me behind. They are Stephen and his members. Ahhh my mind is still chaotic considering the incident that I just experienced. But I ran out of words to say"Stephen? Can't you just become a human, so you can chat with me," I protested? Stefen just growled and continued to guide me to show the way. Only with a growling voice, I understood Stefen's answer at that time was 'No'. I crossed my arms in my chest, as soon as I thought of my friends, they must have been thinking nonsense at this time.After a few minutes, Stefen stopped, I already saw my backyard from a distance. With a heavy heart, I let out a long sigh "Stefen? Can we meet again? "I asked, as usual when I turned my body Stefen, a
^^Grisella POVI'm restless. My mind was chaotic. I thought what I experienced in the forest was just nonsense, but Anna's presence and this necklace left a special meaning for me. I sat in the backyard, sipping the rough fresh air as if I could never be satisfied with that air. My mind wandered erratically as I returned to remembering the incident I met the blue-eyed wolf in the forest.Flashback OnI gently stroked the wolf's mane, and the wolf remained calm with my treatment. Until suddenly, Nessa came out of nowhere and pushed me away from the wolf. I saw the wolf growled and looked at Nessa sharply. "What? Are you mad at me? are you pissed off?" said Nessa snapped the wolf.I winced, holding my arm hitting the tree when Nessa pushed me "aww shhh," I said softly, holding my arm tightly. Fortunately, Nathan's scratch mark didn't get hit by a tree. If it were for sure, I wouldn't be able to endure the pain.My eyes turne
