Girl Who Cried Wolf

A Feast

Yuju's face was turning a reddish purple as she gasped for air. The hands around her were growing tighter and tighter. She was too weak to push his hands away. She feared this was the end for her. She didn't want to die this young.

Yuju began to kick her feet on the floor, trying to get someone to hear her. She was struggling for another breath. She began to feel a bit numb as her legs and arms grew weaker with each second. She closed her eyes, prepared to open them and see the gates to either heaven or hell.

"Yuju, is that you?" Linzy squinted her eyes.

Yuju widened her eyes. She was trying to nod her head since she couldn't talk much at the time being. She tried kicking around again to signal to Linzy that she was in trouble.

"Oh my god it is." Linzy rushed over to her.

She pushed the man off of Yuju, trying to fight him off to give Yuju enough time to get up and regain her strength. Linzy didn't have any sort of supernatural abilities, she could only scream when a death was about to occur, so she felt pretty useless most of the time.

Yuju grabbed him and smashed his head into the sidewalk. He wasn't dead yet, but her plan wasn't to kill him. She punched him in the gut multiple times, just enough to keep him from fighting back. She was going to take him to Sowon's, she'd know what to do.

"So, you captured the benefactor?" Sowon stared at Yuju in confusion.

"Sure did. I got him right here for you." Yuju held up his limp body with a smile.

"Ok well...bring him in I guess." Sowon shrugged as she invited them in.

"So what do we do with him?" Yuju asked as she set him down on the couch.

"Kill him." Sohee walked towards him with her claws ready to cut into his throat.

"No, Eunbi is against killing." Yuju put her hand out to stop her.

"I'm not part of Eunbi's pack." She wore a mischievous smile before swiftly slitting his throat.

"I mean, she's right." Sowon agreed with her sister. Each pack had their own set of rules.

"How can you do that?" Yuju looked disgusted by Sohee.

"I'm a woman of habit." She sassily smiled at Yuju and wiped the blood off her claws.

"But that doesn't give you the excuse to kill him. Hold on, did you just take a shower?" Yuju pointed at Eunha as she noticed her wet hair.

"Yeah..." Eunha lied through her teeth. Her and Sowon glanced at each other with a weird look.

"What do we do with his body?" Yuju questioned.

"Put it in the lake, burn it, or eat it." Sowon shrugged.

"You would actually eat him?" Yuju had a distasteful expression.

"I use to live in the wild, Yuju, it's what we do. It was our only survival." Sowon looked a bit offended by Yuju's reaction.

"Yeah, Yuju, we're born wolves, it's our nature." Sohee added.

"Eunha...you've never-"

"No, of course not." Eunha immediately shut down the idea when it was brought up. She couldn't fathom the thought of eating a human.

"Oh, thank god." Yuju placed her hand over her heart and sighed.

"Why do you care if she has or hasn't?" Sowon became defensive.

"Chill, I'm not hitting on your girl. I kissed her on accident, it's over." Yuju frantically waved her hands.

"I'm going to take my meal out back." Sohee grabbed his body and brought him outside to the large field for her to feast on him.

"She's actually going to eat him?" Yuju's jaw dropped.

"Of course she is. I don't eat humans anymore, it's part of my past. I'm more civilized now."

"Good to know. I'm going to go to bed now. I'll see you at school on Monday?"

"Yeah. Goodnight." Sowon sent her out the door.

"God, she's disgusting." Eunha couldn't help but want to puke as she listened to the sound of his guts being taken out and eaten.

"If you were her you'd be doing the same thing. She hasn't learned how to act like a human yet. Don't blame her. I'll try to teach her, but for now, let her be." Sowon lead Eunha up stairs, leaving her sister to feast off the man.
