“Jason, is that you or am I just seeing things?” she uttered breaking the silence that had ensued when she saw him.Without even saying a word he immediately stepped forward and gave her a hug, just then tears built up within her eye lids and began to roll down her cheeks. It was such an emotional moment that even Nicole could not help but tear up, shortly after that Nicole walked into the apartment leaving the couple, they stayed there for sometime.“when did you even return? I thought that you said you would be back in a months time, so how come you changed your mind, I hope everything is okay.” Josephine said to him, she was still comfortable in his embrace as his arms wrapped around Josephine like a father holding his baby.Jason was a hunk of a man, a little above 6 feet tall but Josephine was quite petit.“everything is fine dear, I just wanted to surprise you. Honestly all the while I told you that I would be returning in a months time, it was all in the bid to do this and it w
Nicole had just been woken up by weird noises that seemed to be coming from the sitting room downstairs, the sixteen year old was scared and confused. Sitting up slowly, she impulsively called out to her parents but there was no answer. Curious, she decided to slowly check out what the noise was. As soon as she opened her door, the muffled noise seemed to have become more pure and now she was listening to what seemed to be a struggle. Fear gripped her even more but she kept on walking as slow as she could, making her way down the staircase. Just a few stairs to go, and she realized there was a stranger in their house and her dad was struggling with a man. The individual had a mask on, concealing his face from them. He wore a black leather coat, he dressed like the other guys who had been coming after them all this while. One thing all the men had in common was that they had superhuman strength to an extent. The events played out quite fast, fear kept her locked in her posit
After several somersaults down the cliff into the woods, their vehicle finally came to a halt when it collided with a tree trunk in the forest. Their vehicle now laid upside down in the middle of nowhere, the four wheels still rotating around the axles as the engines went ablaze. No one was conscious after the crash, but coincidentally a young boy happened to be close by. His name was Henry, the youngest member of the Carter werewolf family. Once he noticed the accident, he went over to offer some help but it was too late for Nicole’s parents, they had already succumbed to their injuries. Henry could hear Nicole’s heart beat faintly, she was in the rear seats still stuck to her seat belts. He was able to yank her out of the burning vehicle, Nicole was on the brink of death and that left Henry with no other choice. Without any hesitation, he slashed his palms with his claws and poured a few drops into her mouth. He was careful not to give her so much of his blood because
The clouds had darkened and thunder rumbled. The trees rustled, the sky dusked and the shadows grew long. “Is it about to rain?” Nicole asked Henry, who was just standing by the window glaring into the woods. “I think so,” he replied to her. “Oh! I do not like rains though, I might catch a cold,” she told Henry, “maybe some of your warmth could help,” Nicole suggested to him, she wanted a curdle from him. Henry paused for a while, he pretended as if he could not hear a word she said before he suggested, “I could get you a blanket or something,” “that would be suitable, I guess.” She told him. “I would be back, please do not go anywhere,” he begged of her. “I will not, but why can you leave and I can not?” she asked him, as she fixed her confused look upon him. “it is not quite safe for you to be out alone in this treacherous forests,” he explained to her, “moreover, you are still recovering from your injuries,” he said. “I definitely
Nicole was just woken up by the crow of a hen, it had become quite a normal. Stretching and yawning, she turned to her side but Henry was not there even if he was with her late the previous night. She had never really wondered what he always went to do deep in the woods, Henry never told her about his family, probably because she never asked. Henry did his best to avoid any suspicions that about the stranger he harboured in his family’s cabin, he was scared that if his family members would freak out if they found out that there was a human in their cabin. As werewolves they were very particular about him getting too close to humans, to avoid anyone from knowing the truth about him. As Nicole got out of bed, she decided to take a short walk inside the woods. Even though Henry warned her against leaving the cabin, her curiosity would not let her stay back. Just a few meters and she began feeling a bit weak and dizzy, she initially ignored it but soon her legs could barely su
“Hmm, so what could this mysterious thing that you want me to see be?” Nicole questioned him. “You will know,” he replied to her, deep down Henry was conflicted about telling her the truth. “We would take a walk into the woods, it is probably going to be our first walk since you recovered,” he told her. Once he uttered the word ‘recovered’ it seemed to have triggered some sort of memory loop in her mind. Another set of memories flashed through her head, this time it seemed to be the last moments just before an accident. She froze in her tracks for a while, unable to speak or move. “are you alright?” Henry asked her, it seemed like Nicole had blanked out yet she was still awake but she made no reply to him. “what is wrong?” he asked again in a more worried tone, this time he grabbed her by the shoulders and tried getting her attention. She snapped out from what seemed to be a trance, her memories were returning and they were returning fast. “what the hell was t
Just a moment ago, Henry and Nicole seemed to be having a good time and all of a it was a race to prevent Nicole from going to the bottom of the river. Fortunately, Henry acted very fast. Without hesitation, he immediately dove into the river and reached out to Nicole. Her black out episodes were getting increasingly frequent and persistent, initially she would experience flashes of her memories but now she was blacking out for minutes. It scared him and Henry blamed himself, since he thought that it was the werewolf blood he had introduced into Nicole's body. Once he brought her to the shore, he began applying some pressure to her chest trying his best to resuscitate her but she was not responding. He panicked when he realized that his efforts to enable her regain consciousness was not working. Even if she had the blood of a wolf, she had never turned so Nicole was still a mere mortal human. “achoo!” Nicole sneezed as she opened her eyes slightly, “Henry, what hap
Just as Nicole was trying avoid waking Henry up, she unknowingly nudged him a little bit waking him up. Twisting and turning, Henry woke up. His eyes struggling to remain steady as he tried holding them open, “Good morning,” Nicole uttered quietly, “I did not mean to wake you up,” she added, feeling quite remorseful for breaking his beauty sleep. “Oh please, it is fine. Moreover I seem to have overslept a bit,” he replied to Nicole. “Anyway, I hope you had a good night sleep?” he inquired. “Of course dear, staying by your side always keeps me at peace,” she said to him, “You look handsome when you sleep,” she commented. “really? You are even more attractive regardless of the situation,” he replied, “Wait a minute!” Henry exclaimed as he began turning his head around like he was in search of something. “what is it?” Nicole asked Henry, she was confused with the sudden mood change. “Do you know what the time is?” he asked, “I think I am already late fo
