Werewolves...
Ever heard of them?
Those beasty creatures that look like plain, simple & charming humans on the first glance but carry deep secrets within them.
Like the fact that they can possibly break all those 206 bones in ones body using 206 different ways in a single blink, or perhaps the ways by which they can shift into creatures of the night mid-air and make you run like a hyena for your dear life.
But that's not all...
Despite that cold exterior skin which they carry, behind that huge ribcage lies an organ pumping at the rate of 8 heart beats per second. And though a little bit rusty, it's not rotten.
That heart pumps blood again and again, everyday repeating the same process waiting for the day when the body can finally unite with their mate and the day it's soul purpose becomes to beat only for them.
That's what they all say...
That's what he said...
"My heart beats for you and you only Maya. You are my life!"

And now here I lie in this beautiful lake in my hometown.
It's just as captivating as ever with the little fishes dancing and swimming beneath me.
I can hear the sound of the waterfall behind and as I take in a deep breath, I smell the earthy aroma surrounding me.
But there's something more.
It feels like...smoke
I think something's buring.
'Oh no... Grandma forgot to turn off the gas again" I hear myself murmur.
But as I proceed to open my eyes, I realise that I can't
The feeling of the water slowly rising sends a shiver down my spine and soon it's up to my chest.
"Ryan? Where are you!?"
The water continues rising...
"Maya, I am right here." I hear his voice from a distance
Hearing his voice I instantly relax into the water. This was the effect that guy had on me.
I knew he wasn't lying cause he indeed was always there with me from the day I first cried while the doctor cradled me in his arms.
There was this one time in 1st grade when I accidentally peed my pants and refused to come out of the washroom, so Ryan lend me his pants instead and wore mine for the rest of the day.
That day even though everyone laughed at him and called him names, he just smiled at me and said everything was fine.
That was the day I made my first and last best friend, my mate.
"Mayaaaaaa"
All of a sudden I gasp for air as I realise that the water had almost reached my nose and I tried to stay afloat but i couldn't.
Ryan taught me how to swim, so why couldn't I now?
"Help me Ry-"
I tried shouting but my voice got cut off by the water invading my mouth and nose and replacing the little oxygen I had in my lungs.
I didn't know the lake was this deep. Do they have mermaids? I have to ask Ryan.
Was the last thought that I had as I drifted off to a long sleep and let the dark consume me.
Where are you Ryan?
Didn't you say your heart beat for me?
That you couldn't live without me?
I am dying here...
So where are you now?
