Magic doesn't exist

chapter 2

At first a voice, in the dark, called me.
I could not command my body, instinctively I approached.
The closer I got, the louder the voice became.
If I could describe her to you, I'd just say that she was short, creepy, I could hear her rumbling everywhere, I couldn't even tell if she was coming from the right or left.
Suddenly a tree, in the middle of the dark, with blood.
The leaves were moving on the tree even though there wasn't even any wind.
But what caught my attention was the blood on the ground.
I had to go around the tree, I felt it, but fear clouded my mind, I couldn't move, even though my subconscious was moving, I couldn't move forward, my feet were firmly on the ground.
I took courage.
Step by step,
Breath after breath,
My heart was pounding, I couldn't control my anxiety.
With the gaze I tried to peek before moving completely with the body.
I turned the tree.
I blanched.
I couldn't get a voice out.
My heart had gone from beating fast, to almost nothing.
I was in shock.
I saw on the ground the body of that great wolf, dead, on the ground, eaten by worms, with his throat scarred, as if a piece had been taken away.

I screamed.
I was awake.
Tears had wet my pillow.
I was shaking, I could not calm down, I could hardly distinguish the fact that I had woken up, I could not distinguish the reality.
I still had the image of that dead wolf leaning against the tree.
I'm sure that the scar was done to him by the human who "saved" me. The mysterious human.
"I hope at least that the nights from here on are not all like this". It was the only thing I said that night before going back to sleep.

The next day as soon as I got back from school I turned on the computer and did some research, I didn't care if I could define myself as a crazy psychopath.
I needed answers, whatever the cost.
The first search I did was "features of vampires":
-Tall and aristocratic, very pale, with bloodshot eyes and red lips, charming.
"All useless descriptions, being that I haven't even seen his face," I thought aloud.
But let's continue:
- Armed with incredible and superhuman strength. They have very keen senses and can see and hear clearly for a radius of a mile.
They can move at a very high speed.
They are immortal by nature and very difficult to destroy. The head is said to be cut off and then burned.
I burst into a big laugh: "These things are absurd and impossible".
Despite this belief of mine, my subconscious was scared, that human was able to knock out a giant wolf by jumping on him. What about blood from the mouth?
I just pretended I didn't have these worries.
I had an alternative.
The creature is dead by now, it's enough for me to go into the woods and look for answers.
I almost swallowed a boulder, even at the thought of having to go back in there. But I'm doing this to silence all other options.
I put on a jacket and closed the front door behind me.
In front of me I had the forest, the only thing to do was to go into it.
