(Book 1) Darkness Falls: Into a Wolf's & Cat's eyes

Chapter 4

Gmel POV:
            I shook my head in disbelief at what I was seeing,"t-this can't be it! I-it's doesn't-" I was cut off by a sudden gust of a chilling wind. Even the cat seemed to have stepped back a little, the portal began to shake. Along with the ground I stumbled to keep my balance moving my arms in a panic to help myself. The purple part of the portal began to crack, as if it were glass. BANG! BANG!
It sounded like something from the inside was banging on the portal it's self! I was afraid I couldn't move I just stayed frozen and watched as the purple faded into red. Ounce the portal was red and evil laughed came from the portal,"FINALLY FREE!" The laugh spoke in a deep demonic sounding voice. My eyes widen as a pair of glowing white eyes appeared from the portal, then under it a wicked smile. It laughs ounce more before it leaped at the portal and right at me!
---------------------------------
          I jolted awake my heart beating out of my chest, my hand gripping the necklace. I was breathing heavy as if I were hyperventilating, I looked around a little dazed to see I was still in the room with that stranger relief flooded over me as I laid back on my chair. I put a hand on my head as I was calming my breathing,"Just a bad dream....ugh..." I placed the necklace down and rubbed my face. I felt like I wouldn't be able to sleep for a week now, I heard shifting the bed squeaking at movement. I looked up to see the stranger awakening! I quickly stood up from the chair and inched closer to the bed.

Stranger's POV:
         My eyes opened then closed and opened again, starring at a wooden roof? What? My body ached with pain I felt so stiff as if I hadn't moved in so long. It took a moment for my eyes to focus to my surroundings which at first were just blurry images. I slowly pulled myself up into a sitting up position but pain hit me hard causing me to jolt a little. I slowly placed a hand on my head and groaned, I starred at myself I was covered in bandages. Where the hell am I? I thought to myself,"U-um hey I really think you shouldn't be sitting up right now..." I heard a female voice spoke. I looked up to see and light blue haired lady starring at me, in a fright I jolted back hitting the wall and winced at the pain. I gripped my wounded self trying to ignore the pain. The woman reached out for me,"I'm so sorry I didn't m-mean to scare you!! Ah! Um sorry! Sorry!" I slowly shifted away from her reach.

Gmel's POV:
         I saw him moving away from me. Was he scared? He probably was I mean waking up in a strange place I'd be scared to. Guilt hit me like a truck I scared him and he probably just hurt himself more. I feel like I messed up but he seems to be okay? I think. He really doesn't seem so, huh in this world right now. His gaze finally looked up at mine, to be honest I found him kinda intimidating. He didn't really seem that happy either which kinda scared me!

I cleared my throat,"Ahem, huh h-hi I'm Gmel....and huh well...I kinda found you and brought you back to my village were we kinda patched you up...." I sounded to awkward right now. I really had no idea what to freaking say! He starred down at his bandaged self again then back at me,"umm yeah...bandaged you up!" I didn't know for he understood me or not! He just looked at me like he didn't want to be here or something. This is so weird I thought to myself, I sighed and tried again,"Do you have a name?" The stranger didn't respond. He would just stare off into the distance as if he didn't see me. I didn't know what to do?! He was sitting up and I just assume he shouldn't be?!

Stranger's POV:
      I tried to find away out of here, I didn't feel welcomed here! In fact I felt like I was being held captive or something. I starred at the lady whose name was I guess Gmel, she was obviously panicking. I felt like a prisoner here, with apparently a guard who doesn't know how to do their job.
Just makes it a lot easier I thought to myself with amusement. I glanced around and realized they even took my sword, yeah this definitely felt like some sort of capture or whatever. I clenched my teeth as I shifted my legs over the bed, Gmel starred at me,"H-hey what are you doing?!" I ignored her. I wasn't going to waste my breath talking to so stupid human!

     I winced as I began to try and stand, pain was flooding through my whole body making this feel impossible. When I lifted myself off the bed I felt uneasy I stumbled and leaned against the wall. That didn't help much, I was just putting pressure on my wounded body. My gaze shifted to Gmel who I have been blocking out this whole time who apparently was talking. Her arms were flapping up and down as if she were trying to fly,"No! You have to rest!!!! My god!! I can see you are in pain just ugh!!" I just starred,"Come on!!! I'm serious! Don't try to stand get back in bed!" I was actually a little amused by her um efforts but sadly thoughts were not really going to work.

      I tried to pull myself off the wall while miss Gmel was panicking trying to make me listen. I jolted back down to the wall almost falling to the ground until I caught myself just slashing me with more pain. I was breathing quietly trying to just get through this pain, I starred back at Gmel with a blank expression. She starred back as if she were frustrated,"If you don't want to listen we will do it the hard way!" She spoke her voice kinda getting high pitch. I was so confused on why she was even trying but I ignored it.

     I faced the wall again making another attempt but this time I felt light headed, damn it.... I thought to myself as my vision was slowly failing me. I knew I would have to rest sooner or later I placed a hand on my head trying to get rid of this feeling. My eyes closed as I tried to just get rid of this pain, I jolted and winced as I felt something touch my wounded side. I glanced down to see a rainbowed hair girl starring at me, her magenta eyes starred at me kindly? They then reached out for my wounds away and I shifted back,"They still hurt don't they?" She asked then smiled,"My name is Jess I am Gmel's friend...and I promise we won't hurt you. We are here to help!" Her tone just I didn't get it she gave me a safer feeling than panicky pants Gmel.

     Jess spoke patting her hand on the bed,"I need you to laid down and rest that's the only way your pain will go away." To my own surprise I listened, and slowly made my way to the bed and laid down. I didn't know why but just her soft tone was calming, Gmel just made a face as if muttering,"show off....." crossing her arms annoyed.
