Celia Vargas pov
It stood right in front of me. I was trembling with fear. What will happened? Steel gray claws extended from the wolf's large black paws. Black fur with silver tips stood straight up. The wolf's long snout cringed. Its ears were pointed slightly forward. It's eyes were glowing with a glimpse of yellow in it, Ivory teeth appeared between the jaws, its tongue moved around its mouth, and saliva dripped from its lips. The wolf snapped stepping closer to me. As the wolf lifted its right paw partly above ground its claw sparkled from the rising sun. It growled in anger. I stepped back. I cannot fight it. But I cannot just let it win so easily, I have to fight, to win the war. I am not ready to loose my humanity forever.
"Not ready to die yet?" Said the wolf, in a low melodious feminine voice. The Shewolf! Actually, it's my wolf. I don't know how but Somehow I knew it. Talking wolf was not the most amusing thing after what I went through.
"Do you have a name? I said. It let out a loud growl which startled me.
"Timber" it said. I was right, every inner wolf has a name. But why does it want to kill others for no reason?
"Run! Before I catch you" it's like my heart stopped. I quickly start running with my shaking legs. Adrenaline coursed through my veins. A thin layer of sweat covered the nape of my neck. I heard it's footsteps getting closer and closer. My throat was burning and mouth tasted like blood, my heart was beating so fast that it feels like it's trying to burst out of my chest. Suddenly I tripped and fell down. No! It cannot end like that. A howl echoed through the forest.
I slowly open my eyes. My head was aching, what happened? I touch my head and felt a bandage, wrapped around my head. So, it has a name atleast. Timber! Ugh, every inch of my body is aching.
"Did you forget everything?" I heard the voice and gaze at it, it was Theodore. He was standing on the doorway. Then I realised, it was not my room. Where am I?
"No I remember, Eva was hitting me and I might have passed out after that" I said. I could only remember the part where Eva hit my head on the iron bar but after that every thing is blank. I must have passed out. I am feeling worst. It's like first time drinking and passing out after doing some ridiculous stuffs.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"In my bed" said Theo. So, it's his bedroom. The bedroom was furnished on a lavish budget but it was full of warmth than I had seen in many years. The room was navy blue with beautiful murals on the wall. He doesn't had any pictures of himself, which was odd. He didn't tell me anything about his family so maybe he doesn't have one. The room contained a king size bed, in which I was sleeping. There was two straight-backed chairs and a small table in front. A desk without any mirror. The dormer windows were covered with drapery curtains. the room was clean, nothing was out of place. The books were all neatly kept side by side in alphabetical order on the shelf, and there was a huge white fur carpet on the floor that looked like it had never been stepped on. He is boujee, that's all I could say and not at all messy. There were two doors, which I am guessing that one is the bathroom and another one is a closet. Suddenly a flush of guilt flow through me, it's like I did something bad but I don't know what. I have never felt this bad before.
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked. A single drop of tear roll down my cheek. Did I kill someone? Theo's face didn't show any emotions. I must have done something. There was an uneasy feeling. I was nervous and scared at the same time.
"You lost control today and almost killed Eva" he said in a serious tone. Oh my god! I almost killed her. How? She was stronger than me. I face palmed myself and sighed. Theodore walked towards me and hugged me.
"It's ok, she is fine. Do not do anything stupid like that and blocking me from your mind would be a wrong decision, it's for your safety" he said in a low comforting voice. How is that helping? I almost killed someone. I cannot forgive myself if I kill someone. I cannot see blood in my hands, I pull away from him.
"It's name is Timber, how can I control it?" I said. He didn't look shocked or anything. Obviously he can read my thoughts.
"It's not a nightmare, it's tricky. The wolf is showing you what she wants you to see. It's trying to scare you" said Theo. What? I mean, I knew that none of it are real. But that's weird. It means it's controlling my dreams. If it's trying to scare me then it's working.
"How can I control it? Or my dreams?" I asked.
"You can't, untill you win against it after the blue moon" he said in a sad way. Hell no.
"Oh no, I should tell my dad that I might go home late today" I said. Dad must be sick worried about me.
"I told him already, I said him that it's a group project and that you are staying here tonight" said Theo. My eyes were widen. He did what? Seriously! That's the lamest but also effective lie. And better than my lies. But staying here tonight, doesn't sound like a good idea.
"So, how can I cheer up your mood?" He asked. A smile curled up on my lips. Anything except wolf, might cheer me up. He can read my thoughts, I am sure he is reading it right now. He chuckled.
"Miss Celia Vargas, would you like to dance with me?" Said Theo and extend his hand towards me. Really?
"Here? And I cannot dance" I said, laughing.
"Come with me and I believe you can dance wonderfully" he said with a smirk. I took his hand. We walked downstairs, in a elegant manner. I felt like I am in a movie. When he took me to his living room, I was amazed. It was Just a cozy room with two couches that lay against the walls. The floor was wooden and the walls were painted white. The third wall has a TV with huge speakers on both side and some murals on the wall for display. In the middle of the room lies an oval rug with swirly patterns and on top of that, lies a small coffee table, in front of the couches. At the corner there was a black coloured professional piano with a fake plant beside it and a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. I didn't know he can play piano, that's impressive. I have never tried to play any instruments. The ambience was nice and homely.
"You can play piano?" I asked. He chuckled.
"Yes, do you wanna try after the dance?" He said. Yeah, I wish but no. I am good for nothing except being a troublesome girl.
"No, so are you going to teach me how to dance?" I said, rolling my eyes. He nod his head and wink at me. He walk over to the speaker and switched it on to play a song. He played 'All Of Me' by John legend. I absolutely love that song. It's my favourite. His emerald eyes sparkled and a smile spread across his handsome face. He drew me closer to his chest, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. His hand was on my back and our free hands finally met. We gaze into each other's eyes while moving to the music. He moved his left foot backward in a smooth motion, sliding across the slick floor. we were dancing to the music, our feet were in perfect sync. My heart beat grew louder. by the end of this dance if my breath is taken away, I would know the exact reason why.
