Every Angel Needs A Devil (Red Canyon Mac Love Story).

6 - Animal I Have Become

I'm an idiot.

Here I am walking in the middle of the desert following a guy who probably has nothing to do with what's happening to me. Macs tracks weren't that had to follow. It's just why would he go out at night into the desert alone. Maybe he's going to join those guys who want to catch the beast. But I was proven wrong when he disappeared into a cave. This is getting weird. He came out, at night, to walk in a cave?

What is he doing here?

I shook those thoughts out of my head and cautiously walked into the cave trying to make as little noise as possible. The cave was lit up by candlelight. I continued through the cave seeing multiple scratch marks along the walls. Some parts had a trail of dried cracked crimson liquid. Blood.

What is this place?

I walked a little faster until there was a steel door. Carefully I opened it and peaked inside seeing a circled room. Lit with candles and long chained cuffs wrapped around a pillar of rock. The stone walls had been slashed multiple times in various places.

"Like my place" someone whispered in my ear behind me. I jumped in shock, slipping on a rock, which made me fall on my butt. I looked up to see Mac smiling at me. "What are ya doing here?" He asked.

"Um, I-I was taking a walk a-and I saw the cave so I thought I could explore" I stuttered.

"Explore? Ya sound like a kid" he said whilst shaking his head "Don't try to bullshit a bullshitter".

"What are you doing here, then?" I questioned standing on my feet.

"So how you feeling?" He asked ignoring my question "I'm sure the bite has scarred over by now".

"H-How do you know that?" I said looking at my shoulder.

"Please, I know a lot in which is happening to you" he chuckled and turned away from me "Been watching you for a while. How's life with that tail, jeez, it was a pain in my ass when I first had it".

"I-I don't know what your talking about" I shook my head and hardened my eyes "You are fucking insane". A low growl came from from his mouth and suddenly I was pushed up against the stone wall causing me to scream a little. Instead of having normal teeth he had fangs.

"What, are ya afraid of the big bad wolf?" He growled loosening his grip.

"It was you" I gasped. He just gave me a smug smile and backed off of me. "You killed those men, your the one who did this to me. Your that beast".

"Ding dong. Hells bells. Someone finally guessed it right" he snickered "I am surprised at how many people don't know the truth". He placed a hand on my shoulder and started to lead me to the steel door.

"You know I like you a lot, I do, but I don't like it when people call me insane" he said and pushed me outside the door "and since you were here I might of helped you but after saying that I'm afraid you're gonna have the worst time of your life tonight" as soon as I was out of the way Mac slammed the steel door shut locking it from the inside.

"I don't think they'll kill you but they will blame you. If you're lucky you get respect out of it" he said looking at me through the bars "The beast will have its day. Enjoy the hunt love" he winked and backed away from the door into the darkness making his eyes glow a golden colour.
