The Unnatural

I wake up with a sore body. Every muscle in my body aches and the stinging sensation makes me groan.

Opening my eyes, I find myself in my room. The bright light from the window making me close my eyes for a second before I open them again.
I scan the room before noticing that no one is here.

I gulp when my eyes land on the door of washroom and the memory of the day I had seen an unknown man there starts to creep up in my mind. I start to breathe heavily when his voice rings in my head.

"I had not thought I would find a treasure here." He speaks with a smirk. His red eyes staring at me with hungriness and I feel myself throwing up.

"Who are you?" I mange, fighting the urge to run out of the room. "That doesn't matter." He shakes his head, taking a step closer to me. I hold my breath as he walks towards me with a smile on his face. "Don't come any near." A whisper leaves my mouth and I take a step back, not liking how he was closing the distance.

"You are coming with me." He smiles like a maniac, eyeing me from head to toe. "I will call Ares." I warn, keeping my eyes pinned on him. He has short black hair and red eyes. His face is square with a little beard scattered across his face.

"Don't you think if he wanted to save you, he would be here?" He raises an eyebrow, scanning me carefully with a smile. I look at the door, hoping Ares will come up. When I open my mouth to shout and call Ares, the man runs towards me in seconds and puts a hand on my mouth. He wraps his arm around me, turning me around and pressing his body against mine.

"Too slow." He comments before sliding his nose against my neck. I try to get away from him, pushing my neck away from him. "Don't resist sweetheart. I will take better care of you."

He opens the window with his other hand while he covers my mouth with the other. I try to scream but muffled noises come out. "It's useless." He says before pushing both of us out of the window.

No. No!

I land on top of him as he holds me in his arms, securing me. "See?" He whispers before turning into a wolf. He holds my collar in his mouth and before I can let out a scream or yell for help, he drags me away from the house. My body scratches against the ground, the harsh surface scratching my skin.

"Let me go!" I yell, throwing punches at the wolf from beneath. He doesn't stumble and continues to run until we are in the woods. Far from the home.

He drops me to the ground and as soon as I am free, I turn around to run. I crawl, trying to get away from him but he bites my leg, sending a wave of pain in my body.

"Ah!" I scream, tears forming in my eyes. I bring my other foot and kick his mouth. The wolf backs away, a whimper leaving his mouth. I turn to look at him and see the man standing in the place of wolf.

"Stop being so difficult." He grins. I get up and run away from him while limping. The pain from the bite makes it hard for me to walk but I know I have to run away from him. The fear I feel from him is different from the one when I saw Ares for the first time. This one is really deadly.

Panting, I rush to a tree and see him following me with a smile. "You think you can outrun me?" The creepiness in his voice makes me shudder.

Ares, where are you? Please, I need you. Save me.

I close my eyes, panting and trying to get a hold of my breath as I rest against a tree. I peek from the behind of the tree to see if he was still there. A sigh of relief escapes my mouth when I don't see him. I slide against the wood, relaxing a bit knowing that he wasn't after me.
