Chapter 5

"Please ... Mom stay! Don't leave me!"

I saw a girl running after a woman.

"Mom!"

She was crying because no matter what she did, she could not reach the woman.

"Stay away! Go back home! Go back to your dad!"

The woman did not even look at the child, we were in the forest.

its dawn seizes light and darkness but because of the trees it is still dark

Isn't it dangerous? What are they doing here?

"Mom! I'm coming with you !!"

The girl was already spending time in front of me but she didn't even pay attention to me.

"Moooooommm!"

It happens so fast, when I think of them the event is different,

There were two men holding the woman earlier and the child was on all force crying.

They..look scary. I do not know what to do! I serched my cellphone but nothing, shoot!

"Jane, .. Did you bring it with you?"

The child nodded

"Almira, stop this Bullshits, we need to end your life now sweetheart, shall we do this in front of the kid? Who is she anyway?"

"dont touch her! She is daughter of señor Alfredo please don't hurt her."

"Will you come when we do that?"

"Nooooo !!!!"

"Don't !!" I shout, I need to do something, in any extent I'll do anything.

Everyone turned to me, but something was wrong, they were not looking at me.

I looked behind me,

Oh my God! I was taken aback, its a very big gray wolf!

I'm 5'6 and we are the same height, its beyond the normal !!

Gray eyes ..

Gray furs ..

Walking towards them,

"Oohh, a knight in shining furs."

The men laughed and I didn't know what happened, the woman fell to the ground, and there's blood, a lot of blood.

She's dead.

"Noooooooooo!" I heard the kid shout,

The wolf attacked the two men, I don't know its extra ordinary the two men were ready to attack and the wolf is growling mad

Before they can even make a move I heard a gun shot.

And everything went black.

"Shit!" I get up, I gasp and sweating heck!

A dream!

Its so realistic to believe

What the fudge! I never dreamed so realistic before! Ugh, my whole body woke up!

I just looked at the wall clock at 4:03 am, so it was still dark.

Shit, water.

I went downstairs,

I was in the kitchen I almost screamed when the the back door of the kitchen opened, I was also surprised to see who enter and its ISABEL!

"what the fuck sabel !! You almost drain the life out of me!"

"Shh! What are you disturbing eh" she whispered she seemed to get over immediately, I swallowed the water ,the hell!

"Where did you come from? This early? Why did you go through the back door? There is a CR in your room. Where the hell have you been?"

Its too early!

"Come on Cassandra just had my morning habit, star gazing"

she smiled sheepishly and showed me her light telescope A hobby or interest she never seems to forget or give up. I sighed

"And you?" She raised her left eyebrow

"Just thirsty. Gonna sleep again?"

"Yeah, good night Cas! Oops today is your first week end here in mistletoe, you might want to unwind"

"Yeah, through sleeping."

She giggles and went upstairs.

When I woke up again it was noon. I saw the note in the refrigerator when I went down to the kitchen

"eat, I need to go work Early, Love, Sabel"

She's a part time librarian, in a big public library, the location of her work is also in town and I've been there once, she has a 1-5 schedule but it looks like they have a shift in again. I looked at the refrigerator, my food was there until the afternoon because I can't cook, sabel prepared them all,

I only know how to preheat. But instead of eating I decided to take a bath. I was already dressed in a simple house with a knock, I immediately opened it.

Mang Pitoy, our neighbor, was smiling and holding a box.

"Oh Cassandra, is sabel at work? She told me yesterday to fix your sink because the water is leaking?" I let him in quickly

"Ayy opo tay, come in. We didn't even use it yesterday," I went to the kitchen and Pitoy followed.

"Ah, yes go ahead and I'll take care of it" I noticed he was really heavenly, he started taking his things out of the box.

I went to the refrigerator and finally took out the food

"Mang pitoy, have you eaten yet?"

"I had coffee and pandesal earlier hija"

I opened the stove to heat the fried rice and hotdog and bacon, I also thought of preserving the adobo dish we had yesterday

"daddy?" I looked around the living room with the child at the door I forgot to close

"Oh my, my daughter Cassandra sorry" he laughed towards the child

The father and child talked for a few minutes.

I saw the girl leave

"Hello" I approached them.

"Hello, I just said something to Dad"

"Come in first, let's eat I'll prepare breakfast. Come with me for a while," I saw the hesitation in her eyes but I smiled sweetly at her

"It's sad to eat alone."

In the end they agree. We ate well

" why are you and Isabel the only ones here?" mang pitoy asked while we were eating

"We want to try to live independently, because we can't rely on parents we are of legal age, already”

I think I'm choking on chlorox while lying geez!

"Anyway, that's right. But be careful,"

I saw the strange look of mang pitoy, he almost whispered as well

"Especially since you two are women, and not very safe in town hija"

There. I knew there's something peculiar In This place. In the middle of the forest and farm it as if it's a hidden sanctuary of some dark elements. Ugh!

"Why did you say that?"

"There are vampires here sister Cassandra." I stared upon Gaile,

"You should not have said Gaile" mang pitoy disobeyed the child But it caught my attention. Vampire? I am no fan of fictions. But I'm not close minded about possibilities of course. I suddenly remembered my weird dream last night, it gives me creep!

"Is there really one?"

"Yes sister! I saw them myself, drinking the blood of our cow when I was 9. "

There is still fear in its eyes,

"But since then the leader of the town has been replaced and they and the attacks have stopped. But they have killed many people, isn't even Isabel's boyfriend reportedly bitten and also killed by a vampire?"

I let go of the spoon and fork. What? I didn't know she got a guy on her sleeves, and, that he died !?

"Really? H-he didn't mention it"

"Oh, I'm sorry for blabbering on like this ..."

"It's okay, I'll talk to her when she comes home about it. she's been here for a few years, she never came home to us, now I think I know the reason."

I smiled at the father and child, thanks for their information. I need it the most. There are strange things that I notice about things here. I need to find out what is it.

Why, there seems to be something strange about the behavior of some people here? The man at the top of the tree when I arrived here. At school on my first day, it seems ... The speed of their actions that you barely notice. Thebneighbors, their stares and ogling. Those Laurents, there's something about them.

And that night ....

I remember that night...

"I survived 3 days in hell!"

I was happy with that thought, because at first I thought I could not afford it. Thanks and I seem invisible at school, that makes me away from troubles,

I can't help but smile geez!

This is a normal life! I felt the wind blow. I am in the forest, in the cliff I should say. There is a really big sign that says it is dangerous to enter the forest and if possible without a guide do not enter. What can I do, I'm a rule breaker right?

"Whooooooooooo !!!, you should come and visit mebCharlie! You'll be jealous! Geez! It's nice to live far away from trouble, and its a beauty here even though it looks like only trees and grass live here."

I looked at how deep the cliff was, there were still a few rocks that fell as I approached the end of it.

"Wow, beautiful ..."

"Pft."

I was stunned. I'm not alone now right? Even though I did not look back I knew someone was behind me.

Shit. I'm alone.

Near the cliff and with a stranger.

"Is death attractive?”

I looked around to see who he was.

Vander ...

Why the hell react again? I felt my heart pounding in my chest. the arrogant gray eyed hot guy.

Eeewww. What did I used as adjectives?

"You're one step closer to death, are you aware?"

He smiled.

Why, he is improving. Since we met, there has not been a single variation on his face. Only Two, serious and grinning. We did not have a close encounter anymore because I do not know the reason for transferring him to another class so we are no longer classmates. His eyes were serious even though the edge of his lip was raised. I really am one step closer to my death.

But

...

"I'm not afraid tho. I've been there, even kissed death hello and goodbye."

My turn to grin when he became serious.

then and there I just knew there's something to him.

When I saw his dark gray eyes shifted to pale yellow green as instance right before my eyes.

Its time to show who really you are. What really your kind is.
