“Jackit’s too late” she said crying and looking out at the moon , I looked at the moon , it was big and beautiful ,“run as fast as you can Jack,please , Jack run” she said and the words stopped coming out of her mouth .
“What is happening Olivia , what is happening to you??” I asked her, she looked at me crying as she wanted to say sorry, she could not speak anymore .
I could not understand what was happening, I was just looking at her, tears begin to come out of my eyes , I can feel her pain and it was hard for me to see her in pain , she moved her face as she was in control of something , she was behaving very strangely , then she vomited .
“Vomited ?” doctor said .
Yeah vomited a little bit and then unthinkable happened shebegin to grow into size , I could not understand what was happening , now I was getting afraid , afraid for her .
“Olivia” I said and went near to her , she pushed me back with just a little push , I went meters away from her , I injured my head and my hand , her skin begin to fall down on the ground ,her humane skin was dropping down like a wax from the candle , she was feeling pain now her voice begin to come again this time it was not the voice of a human this time it was the voice of a wolf , she was screaming in the pain , she was not In the control , looking at her in pain and transforming tears came to my eyes , I was just crying , it was like that I was there only to look what was happening ,I felt that I could not do anything , her skin felled down and new wolf skin begin to took its place , her face was changing , it was stretching , how much pain she was going through at that moment , I can’t even imagine , then her foot bones begin to stretched her nails were like iron knifes , she was screaming now her voice begin to became harder , she was completely transformed now , my Olivia had turned into a beast in front of me , I was looking at her , I was lying down on the ground , this was something I never thought could happen , happen in front of me , but sadly it happened .
Olivia after turning into Werewolf was quite she was just looking at the moon , I don’t know why she was quite , maybe being quite was something she does on every full moon night .
“Olivia” , I said and I moved near to her , she was the one who told me you can control animals if you want , and she was the human from inside , she was my Olivia from inside even she was a Werewolf . I went near to her quietly , Olivia I said , I was standing near her , she was quite , she was looking at me and I was looking at her , she was Olivia from inside and I was ready to touch her , I went near her and touched her .
“What you touched a werewolf?” Doctor said .
Yeah I touched her because I loved her and I believed that she was still human from the inside .
“You have a big heart , it requires big heart to touch a beast”.
Touching beast does not requires a big heart but loving someone , truly do requires a big heart , if I can love her , I can touch her .
“I am not as a lover as you are , but if you will make me believe that she was really a werewolf than I will leave you , but if you fail to prove that , then , you know you will go to asylum for spreading all these false stories , I am warning you now , just tell truth from now on” .
Until now what I have said is truth , and I will not lie even now , this is my love story it’s not like any other story , so believe me I am telling the truth
“Then prove me she was werewolf , I am going to listen to your story more carefully now , so just tell me what happened next ?” .
“Everything is going to be fine Olivia” I said touching her she was quiet and was looking at me , I touched her , soon my phone rang this made her violent and she attacked me , Olivia’s long nails cut the flesh of my right arm , and I fell down , she tried to attack me again but she was tied with chains , she had already tied herself with the chains , she was unable to reach me , she shouted , she shouted loud .
People were dancing in the village , Adam heard her voice , he stopped in the middle of the dance .
“Do you heard that voice?” he asked people .
“What voice ?”Gerard said .
“I think it’s the voice of the Werewolf , I have heard this voice before , its just like the voice of Werewolf I killed”. he said and people looked at him .
“Oh come-onAdam , it would just be a wolf ,lets enjoy” other man said.
“No I am right , it’s the voice of the werewolf , I can’t be wrong” Adam said again .
“Adam you are not getting any excuse to run away from this party today , come-on dance with us” a man said .
“But” .
“No I said, Dance” that man said again
“All right” Adam said and continued dancing with others .
I was getting afraid she was shouting again and again , I looked at my phone , it was mom , I disconnected the call , she stopped shouting as the mobile stopped ringing , I looked into her eyes , it were just live the wolvesOlivia controlled on the way to the college .
“ It’s going to be all right ,everything is going to be all right Olivia , you will be human again soon Olivia” I said but I myself wasn’t sure of what had happened to her , but I showed some courage , which my love for her gave me and I went to touch her , she pushed me back shouting loud again , this time she hit me hard and I felled down again, now my body was feeling a lot of pain .
“ Do you hear that voice again ?”Adam said to his friends once again .
“OhAdam ,Let’s dance” they said and they continued dancing
Olivia was angry that time , she was in anger ,she was trying to release herself from those chains that were holding her and were saving me from her wrath , she was trying to break them away , while I was on the floor , hoping to live few more years after that night , she applied a great force and she was able to break the chains , I saw her breaking the chains , she broke those big chains .
“Oh god” I said and I tried to run outside ,she looked at me , she ran towards me to finish me , I opened the door and before she could follow me , I closed the door ,now I was out of her house and only a door was between her and my life . she begin to strike at the door , she was striking it again and again and I was holding it , crying, she strike at it for nearly five minutes and after that that she stopped , I heard the little crying voice , the voice which you hear when wolves cry , I looked inside and she was crying , blood was flowing from her hands in which she had chains , maybe a major cut occurred when she tried to break the chains , looking her cry , tears were not stopping in my eyes , I don’t know , if she was in her control or she was in control of the moon , or of the Werewolf , I don’t know anything about that , nothing .
I just sat outside her house my arm was bleeding but I was not feeling any pain on it , I was feeling the pain but it was the pain through which Olivia was going , I was just thinking why is she supposed to be like this , what happened with her that made her like this , I was crying , then she begin to strike on the walls she was breaking things inside her house , she was breaking bed , she was breaking tables , all she had inside her house I could not see her in that much pain, an innocent girl turned into a Werewolf that night in front of me , I couldn’t do anything to save her that day , just crying was not helping me , I even forgot my coat inside , the temperate was lowering , I could not go inside to take my coat , so I was just dying with that cold , I was shivering , my teeth were strikingagainst each other , I was feeling that they will break soon after that continuous striking and I will have to live without teeth’s for my whole life , if somehow I survives that night .
“Oh that’s strange , she turned into a big beast but she failed to kill you” doctor said .
“Yeah she did fail to kill me , that’s why I am here” .
“But wasn’t it easy for her to kill you?” .
“It was easy, but it was just my luck and my love that saved me that day” .
“So did you get any first aid , did you directly went home or what ?, what you did in that cold , you already told me that you forgot coat insid
e what did you did ?” .
I looked around, I saw a blanket nearby, I went to take it, I picked it up and cowered my body with that, I was returning back I saw those two wolves sitting there , they were tied with chains Olivia had brought them home , there was flesh of a rabbit in front of them, they were not eating they were just sleeping , I was surprised Olivia had made them pet even after they attacked us . It was surprising. I was getting lot of surprises that night , now I didn’t wanted any more of them , I was not In a mood to wake them up , so I quietly went to her house again and sat near her door , skin was red now , my lips were paining but I knew that I can survive , I looked inside at Olivia she was just moving here and there , she was breaking everything she could , I sat down and I begin to wait for the night to pass .
I was regretting for not smoking cigarette , I was not a smoker , never liked smoking , I always hated the people who used to smoke ,but if I would be a smoker, I would have a lighter and I would have lighted up fire , but I was not a smoker so I had to sit and just face that cold and wait for the moon to go away .
“Why didn’t you went to home ? , you were hurt” doctor asked .
I didn’t wanted to leave Olivia alone there , in such a condition .
“It was a really tough night for you” doctor said.
Yeah it was , I saw my love , Olivia in so much pain , I will never forget that night .
“It was tough for your body too , you had to live in cold without coat , you are lucky that you survived” doctor added.
“I am lucky that I found that blanket” .
“So what happened next ?” .
The Next day
I was just lying helpless , sometimes I looked inside and saw Olivia breaking her own house , by now party was over , Christmas was over , time passed I saw sun rising behind the mountains a smile came to my face and I stood up and opened the door , I went inside and I looked at Olivia she was unconscious and was lying down without the clothes , I removed my blanket and covered her with that .
As I covered her , she came into conscious state .
“Jack” she said looking at me in a low voice , her eyes were telling me that she went through a lot of pain last night .
“Yeah it’s me Olivia , everything is going to be fine” , I said in a shivering voice , I was holding her hand and I kissed on it .
“You are so cold Jack” she said looking at me .
“Its fine Olivia” I replied and I went to the bed which was broken and picked up the blankets and came near to her and covered her with them too .
She looked at me , her face was speaking even though she was quite .
“I think you will like to have a hot coffee” I said and went to the kitchen, I wanted to give her some alone time , I made coffee and I returned back , the time I returned she was wearing her clothes , I stopped .
“Oh , I will be back in a moment” I said and went back to the kitchen “ oh god ” I take a deep breath and returned back .
“Was she wearing clothes?” doctor asked .
Yeah doctor she was wearing, I gave her the mug and sat next to her on the floor , as everything was broken there , she also looked around the room .
“ It looks new hah ” I said and smiled , she also smiled but felt sorry through the smile .
“From where did you find this blanket?” she said looking at the blanket I found outside , she said In a very low voice , words were not coming out of her mouth easily , she was having problem in speaking , maybe it was because of what happened at night .
“I found it outside" I said .
“You know Jack , I cover Belly and Kelly from this blanket”.
“Who are Belly and Kelly ?”
“The wolfs we found on the way , they are sisters , and I use this to save them from cold at night”.
“This blanket saved me yesterday night , yeah its really helpful then , Belly and Kelly are as lucky as I am to have you” I smile but she didn’t .
She hold my hand and looked at it , it had cuts , she hold my hand where it had cuts for a while and the cuts were gone , it was magical , I know it is hard to believe but it happened , all my cuts disappeared and the pain too .
“ It’s amazing” I said looking at my hand .
“I am so sorry Jack that this happened and you had to see all that and I am sorry I attacked you ” she said looking at my hand.
“Its fine, you were in control of something , you were not yourself” .
“Were you here the all night ?” .
“Yeah I was with you all the time” .
“So you saw everything , what I did last night?” .
“Yeah I did saw that” .
“Still You are sitting with me Jack , are you not afraid of me ?” .
“No I am not afraid of you , no way” I smiled , “I love you , and you are the girl of my dreams, how can I be afraid of the one I love”.
“I can’t live with you Jack , I will bring problems for you”.
“No , you will bring happiness to my life and yeah youcan’t say that , we are destined to be together and you can’t change the destiny”.
“I am sorry Jack , I am not a good girl” she said as she hugged me crying
“Hey , you are the not only the best girl, but you are the best person I ever met in my life , you will be all right , you will be normal”.
“It is not possibleJack , I can never be normal”.
“There will be some way” .
“There is no one , I am born like this Jack”.
“What? , you are like this since you were born ?”it was really surprising for me.
“Yeah , my father was a Werewolf, his genes got transferred to me and I too became werewolf” .
“Was your father too born as werewolf?” .
Story of A Werewolf
“No ,he became werewolf at the age of 12 , when he was a boy , one day he was out with his family ,there were other families from the village too , they were all on the tour , they made a camp somewhere in the mountains , it was night , everyone was asleep when a group of wolfs attacked them and the people begin to die , my father saw his family dying in front of him , he fight the wolfs along with his brother , wolfs too begin to die , soon his brother too died and he was left all wounded with a wolf . He fought that wolf and he killed that wolf ,father had no weapons so he killed him by biting that wolf several times , in this process he drank a lot of blood of that wolf and that blood transformed him into a werewolf on that full moon night , he became werewolf that night , the next day when he was human again all his wounds were gone , he buried his family and never went to his hometown , instead of that he made up his home here, he went to city to study , when he got control over his body , he returned back he build this room ,” she said looking at the room “ this is a special room its walls don’t allow noise to go outside , he used to tie himself with the chains before turning into a Werewolf and he used to close the room , so thatno one can ever know he was a Werewolf, that’s how he survived in this world , mother married him , she knew that he was a werewolf still she married him , they were happy together as being werewolf did not effectedfather’s human nature , then I was born , their happiness was increased , I was not a normal child , I was also like my father , but this didn’t worried my mother at all , she learned to control two werewolf now , everything was right, but one day father went out of the house , it was moon night day , mother tried to stop him , but he didn’t stopped, he said its urgent for him to go , he promised mom that he will return before night , he said “ “believe me I love you and my daughter Olivia , I will return back before night , you look out for Olivia”” he said while going that night , soon it was the night and he didn’t returned , I saw my mother crying before I turned into werewolf , he didn’t returned my mom waited for him , I don’t know what happened that night because I was also turned into awerewolf that night , father returned in the morning , he was being shot by Adam , his wounds were disappeared because they were b
eing healed , that man Adam tried to kill my father ,Adam told everyone that he shot werewolf but no one believed , after six months this happened again my father was unaware that it was full moon night ,he miscalculated , he was out of house and was coming to home in his car , on the way he begin turning to the werewolf , he turned into werewolf , Adam was ready to show the villagers that there was a werewolf so he was all prepared as soon as he show my father , he shot more than 20 rounds of shotgun at my father , Adam killed my father that day ,but when he died he died as a human , Adam destroyed our happy life , we used to live happily before , my mom never cared about my father and I being a Werewolf , she just used to love us ” .
“After Adam killed my father , he told the people that my father was a Werewolf , no one believed him but people stopped talking to us , my mom didn’t found any friends after that ,no one was giving her work in the village , we had to sleep without eating for many days ,our life was worse now , our savings ended and we were the poorest two here and the most hated too , life was heaven with father without him it was even worse than the hell , students begin to tease me at school , they just used to make fun of me , they used to ask“”daughter of Werewolf , whom are you going to eat today??”” , they used to say lot of things , so I just decided not to go to classroom ,I used to go to school daily but I left going to the classroom . That’s how I begin to sit on the terrace and cry all alone” .
“That was really bad , life is not easy without father , you have suffered a lot in your life” I said to her with tears in my eyes .
“Soon my mother too died” .
“How did she died ?”.
“ One day it was a full moon night I was fifteen that time , we didn’t know it was full moon night that night too , we miscalculated again, we just thought that full moon night is tomorrow , so I didn’t chained myself and that was a worst day of my life , I killed my mother after I turned into a Werewolf , I killed my mother , with my hands, her blood was in my hands , a daughter killed his own mother what can be more bad than that” she said crying loud now her real voice was back .She was crying and I was feeling bad . I was feeling her pain .
