Ch. 66: The Savior


SHE DOESN’T KNOW anything about the Lycans. She doesn't want to gamble for her conscience.
"What’s your name?” the woman asked her again.
“Name?” Lirah acted as if she was asking herself before she looked at the couple. “What is my name? I—I don’t know…”
They look at Lirah with disbelief. Looks like they didn't buy it but she needs to stand with her words and continue what she has started.
“You don’t know?”
The Lycan couple looked at each other occasionally. Both were estimating what they were going to say again. On the other side, Lirah is reading the next move of the couple. Even the hunger that she had been feeling for a while has been completely forgotten. She needs to visit his grandmother who is the sister of her late grandmother. She is the only one who could help her. To do that, she needs to get out of this place safely.
Before her late grandparents died, they strictly instructed her that if something bad happened, she must visit the remaining family that they had.
"We will think about a suitable name for you. Is that alright with you?"
Lirah just nods her head and pretends that she’s happy with how they are accommodating her. She had to win them over by putting her low profile.
"She looks hungry, dear. Bring her some delicious food!" Baron said happily.
The woman quickly obeyed what her husband ordered.
Lirah stays watching her surroundings and not letting her guard down. She remembered what her late grandparents told her. If she ever visited someone's house, no matter what, if she doesn’t know them, don’t eat, and drink what they offer. She must have politely refused.
When the woman was about to put down the plate, she heard a loud howl coming from the woods. Automatically, the husband looks up at the sky.
Lirah frowned. She can’t see the moon clearly but the sky is red! She heard the animals making a chaotic noise in the forest. Birds also flew like they were panicking and this is a bad sign. She knows that there’s something bad going to happen.
Lirah was shaken by deep worry when she heard a chilling sound coming from the Lycan woman. Her nails slowly grew longer and dug into the table. Like she’s transforming but pain took over her.
“W-what was happening?” Lirah asked Baron.
Lirah's chest rumbled loudly when she noticed that even the male Lycan had become the same as the woman—they were in agony and didn't know what to do with the pain that they were feeling right now.
“W-we can’t control ourselves!” Baron admitted as he shouted from pain.
"Baron!" Someone knocked harshly on the door of the house. The voice is so loud and growling. "I know you and your wife are there, and I also know that the girl I'm going to marry is awake!" with every pause in its speech, there seemed to be felt the pain too.
“It’s the Lycan…” Lirah said quietly. She couldn’t think straight. Her body trembled in fear. She also felt her intense sweat.
Her feet moved spontaneously away from the couple. Being naive and afraid wouldn’t help her. She must come to her senses and do something!
She will not accept the fact that she’s going to die here helplessly. She did not survive just to die. She must know what happened to Aro. She must know what are the creatures who hunt them and hurt her man. That’s her mission and she will fulfill it no matter what!
Lirah heard the big footsteps coming from the outside. Seems like the Lycan is not just one but many.
“The help that we gave is enough. You must run away from the Lycans! You have caused a lot of trouble to my wife and I. While I can still have the strength to stop myself and my wife—go away!"
Lirah starts to cry. She felt like she could feel the pain while they were in the process of shape-shifting. Even if she treats them as her enemies, she still feels empathy. She’s also aware that if they didn’t help her, she couldn’t last long inside the forest.
“Run at the backdoor!” Baron shouted while preventing his wife from getting close to her so she would not be hurt. “Run!”
“T-thank you!” she blurted out after she found herself running away and going in the direction of the man instructed. She needs to believe them even if she’s not sure if they are her allies. That’s her only option for now.
Lirah didn't know how far she had to run. The only thing on her mind is to escape.
The tunnel that they dig is far from what she could imagine. She felt her sweat coming out. That's why she needed to wipe it with the brown dress she was wearing from time to time.
When she’s about to pass out, Lirah finds hope when she sees the door that Baron was talking about. That’s it! She will be safe in a minute!
Just when Lirah was about to open the door, she screamed when Monique pulled her and lifted her into the air as if she was just a piece of paper while coming out of the tunnel! She also felt like her arm was going to tear apart when her claws dug into her flesh as the Lycan bit her aggressively on the neck!
Lirah wants to fight for her life and do something with her situation but her strength and body couldn’t agree with her no matter how much she tries to slip away…
When she feels like she’s going to die, someone throws the Lycans aggressively without even touching her!
She was the first to fall, that's why she barely hit the ground which she’s thankful for but the bite of the Lycan on her neck is unbearable. She felt like her blood would be lost at any moment.
In just a bit of a minute, Lirah couldn’t feel her body anymore. The pain squeezing in her flesh that she felt was an unimaginable cold which made her think that she’s going to pass out.
No matter what the situation she’s fighting for, Lirah couldn’t take her eyes away from her savior…
Just by the words he spoke, the Lycan seemed to be in a lot of pain while her body floated in the air! Lirah just stared at him as her eyes were full of tears before she passed out…
