Her Cold Beast And His Dark Beauty

RETURNING HOME - PART 1

Light breaks through the cracks of the leaves on the branches, slowly waving in the wind. Soft muttering and inaudible sounds echoed in the forest. Some of it sounds like the person was having a pleasant time, while some are shouting in anger. The anger was so strong it affected all the animals. Thankfully a wave of calm washed over the same area in a matter of seconds causing the anger from earlier to evaporate almost instantly. It didn't last long enough for the animals to display violent acts, they just passed out from the two emotions changing so drastically. The rays of sunlight land on the eyes of a man. He is lying on the ground fast asleep, dreaming of a future unknown to all. The man's eyebrows furrow as his eyes squeeze tightly. He rolls over and turns his head shielding his head from the light. The mumbling gets louder as the man seems to be struggling under an invisible force

Eventually, breaking free, he shoots up with a start, gasping for air. Eyes as wide as saucers, drenched in sweat looking like a drenched dog. He looks around in fear as if respecting something to strike at him. Sensing no danger around, he hugs his arms. Curling into a ball on the ground, a memory flashes before his eyes. Pishka lying on the ground in pain as she was in pain from the vampire that kidnapped her. The bruises and cracked bones, all filled up his senses s vividly. He writhes in pain, gritting his teeth, only letting out suffocated sounds. His body twists and turns in agony, not sure what to do to ease the pain he's in

It hurts, so bad!

He turns to his stomach as he tries to crawl, and the pain strikes him once again. He grabs a handful of grass as his other hand grabs the spot where the pain is most evident. He is feeling the same pain that Pishak felt when that vampire attacked her in her house. The pain suffocated her airway, making it hard for her to breathe. Now he felt like he was suffocating. His hand tightens around his chest. Tears begin to pour out of his eyes as he gasps for air, yet pain was all he inhales from the futile struggle. Finally, his eyes widen as he can inhale a large amount of air. Coughing as relief watches over him then consciousness fades from him as soon as he regains it

Suddenly purple and red bruises begin to surface all over Jacob's skin. Deep in sleep but breathing heavily, indicating the pain he's experiencing Hile unconscious. Thankfully his healing abilities kick in. However, each time one healed another appeared elsewhere. The day went by in this manner till finally his eyes slowly opened when the moon sat high in the centre of the night sky. Jacob blinks slowly as he stares blankly at the sky. His mind replayed what he had just seen. In his dream, he had an encounter with the moon goddess and thus relived Pishka's entire life. He felt all her emotions, the pain, grief, regret, and hate and mostly importantly he felt her love

It was so overwhelming that he felt like he was drowning. So mellow he sunk right to the bottom in seconds, so warm he felt like he was being embraced by a long-known lover... He could go on for months describing how endless, pure and broad her love was. He sighs as he gets up however pain seems to explode through his veins. He pauses and falls flat back onto his back as a way of stopping the pain from spreading. He sighs when it stops before shooting up straight in one go. Standing up was laborious, he couldn't understand why he was in so much pain. He lifts his shirt and sees bruises, both purple and fresh. Some turning blue and others are still light pink. Suddenly the Moon Goddess' voice rang in his ears

Moon Goddess: You'll feel what she felt for the past three years in a period of three days...

She said other things but those specific words rang in his head so vividly. He grabs his head it felt like it was splitting open from the inside. He drops his shirt, covering his stomach. Looking up head walks but stumbles, gasping as he tries to breathe as painlessly as possible. Each breath felt like a strike of pain hitting his brain. He grunts as he limps back towards the pack House, his entire journey back was misery. He can't help but curse at the goddess
