Lair Of The Beast || Nicolae Bartholy X OC || [COMPLETE]

7. The Fire of Prometheus.

Kate had created a torch. Her phone's battery had just died and she needed light to attempt finding her way back, out of the woods.

It was cold and dark, she barely could see a thing with what little light she had.
Tears kept streaming down her face, she was shaking she was so scared.

Pushing the tears away after minutes and minutes of walking,  she got closer to a wide tree, taking a moment to recollect her thoughts,  figure out her next move. She felt like she was walking in circles.

She was trying to understand the path she came from that same morning, but the snow had covered already every tree and every direction looked the same!

It was then when she heard them.

Wolves.

Hungry wolves.

It sounded like a lot of them and she had no weapon but a lit up stick.

She decided to back up against the tree more, trying to get in a better position to not be surrounded.

As the first wolf showed up, she swallowed her tears and tried to be brave. She read somewhere about being loud and show dominance.

But in the state she was in, she couldn't accomplish that.

More wolves showed up.

Her plan to not get surrounded backfired on her, because now she was being cornered.

The wind was cold, giving her chills as her fear grew quickly.

The wolves were talking in their own language.

"Get away!" Kate swung the torch. The animals dodged it easily.

"Go away! " She tried again, but what she got as answer was painful.

The alpha jumped and pinned her into the snow, making her drop the torch.

Kate screamed as she fell upon a sharp branch that went right through her side.

"AAH!" She cried, trying to get the wolf off of herself while in complete pain.

"Get off!"

She opened her eyes a few seconds later as she felt the animal's  weight being lift off her.

Fearing he was about to attack her again, she tried to look for it,  unable though to move.

What she saw next, was something she hadn't seen coming.

The wolves' attention had turned on the thing that was now taking down the alpha.

She saw Him.

And he was fighting off the animals that were now attacking him relentlessly.

Nicolae's roars echoed through the woods as he fend them off, throwing their bodies against the trees, pushing them away, again and again.

Seeing the creature couldn't be taken down, the alpha turned towards the girl, still on the ground, hurt and vulnerable.

He moved to her once more, but Nicolae leaped to her defense. He was standing on his feet and hands just like a feral animal.

His eyes glued to the alpha's.

The wolf howled.

Nicolae growled louder.

The alpha leaped and went for Nicolae's throat.

The vampire was swift and dodged the attack, using the claws of his right hand to put an end to the animal's life.

Seeing their leader down, lifeless,  the pack decided to finally retreat.
