There we were just looking at each other, I could tell he suspected me, my sudden arrival out of nowhere. My human form looked somewhat peculiar, and roughly human, so I bet he supected that too. I had black short hair that reached my neck, elfish ears, sharp teeth, a serious/determined look always on my face, but my eyes, my eyes where what most defined me, a detail one could never forget, bright yellow, my eyes were close to a snake's eyes.

But there was this thing that could scare the soul out of anything, and I knew that because of this one time, that the first human crashed his plane, and set foot on the island. I followed the exact same precedure of watching him for some time and then coming to see what he was like. Then, when I came down to meet him, we looked at each other's eyes for a second and I greeted him, but he was shocked by my eyes and didn't say anything for two long minutes.
"Hello, my name is Ben" he said.
"Hi, my name is Rauru" I said.
"So Rauru, how long you been on this island?" he asked intrigued.
"I was born here" I said.
"Is there anybody else on this island?".
"Only you and me" I replied.
We kept talking and talking about how things were in the world for me, and for him. He talked to me about the WW1 of which he was a war pilot, he was a really good teacher though, but I was an even quicker learner. Finally, we stopped talking and there were two hours left before night came.
"Ben, listen to me very carefully" I said, "When the night comes, promise me that you're going to hide in the most confined place possible and that you're not going to make a sound until morning".
Ben was a really decent guy, he was thirty years old. I cared for him even though I had only met him a couple of hours ago. Ben was my only true friend and the only one who ever got to discover the truth about what I was.
"Very well, I'll hide, but tomorrow you're going to have to explain everything" he said.
"Good luck Ben".
"Thanks kid".
Ben had left to hide. I wasn't the only predator in the island though. There were also dragons, and some other creatures, but thats a long story for another time. Also, there was this thing I unconsciously did every day, when I was in my beast form and the night began. I would make a howl so loud it could be heard everywhere on the island. And, as I saw Ben go, I felt something was off. Then, I saw a smoke on the night coming from a campfire. And I became intrigued by the question that would be answered in the morning.
