She's here.

She heard my plea. And even in wolf form, she recognized me. It was a relief. But then, hindi ko maikala ang pagkamuhi sa aking sarili.

She's still as beautiful as before. She's glowing with those bow and arrows she's holding. My Ada,  

"I'm mated..."

'Yun nga lang, hindi ko na siya pag-aari.

She went near me, those orbs managed to tame me for... a while. 'Cause I'm sensing it again, the demon inside is up for something. I can feel it.

The chants of the people are getting near. I'm starting to feel his hunger.

I look at Zannah, hoping she could understand me. She shook her, "I know you can." she whispered.

I growled shamelessly, wanting to say I couldn't.  I took a step back, shaking my head.

"Awooooooo!"

"Let's go, Mallory. I need you to come with me--"

"Awooooo!" I growled, No! I might just end up hurting you. I don't know how to handle his hunger. I'm sorry.

But even before I could leave…

"Mallory please?! They're getting near. We need to g---"

She was cut off. And next thing I knew, she's now lying on the ground. Pain registered on her face right away. Damn what have I done?

When our eyes met, I can see how shocked she was. What just I've caused her. Though I wanted to go near and help her get up. My Demon took over.

Everything went fast. As time passes by, things happened mistily. There's this fire, went wild trapping everyone. Torches scattered all around, bunch of bodies on the ground. Loud shouts and outcries filled the place.

His wildness reigned.

The forest is crying. I look around, it’s too late. I saw how her body fell on the ground.

I run near her, only to witness how worst her state is. "Enough, Sweetheart..." She managed to whisper those lines before darkness engulfed her.

"Awooooooooooooooo!!!"

From there a thunderclap brought down heavy raindrops.

Doon lang ako nakaramdam ng matining pagod, to where I fell, just right beside her. I let darkness washed my thoughts over.

Oh God! What have I done?!

I was awakened by sunlights. Confused as why I am laying on a bed covered with thick sheets, and when I sat up. There have noticed that I'm also is naked.

I was massaging my nape and temples, trying to digest things, when I heard a door opened.

She went out of the bathroom, with just a towel wrapped around her body, with her hair's dripping wet.

What the hell, Zannah!

"Good Morning!"

"God, Zannah! Do you even aware of what you're doing right now?"

Matama lang niya akong tinignan ‘tsaka nagpatuloy sa paglalakad. "The hell you're heading!" I protest, when she walk near to where I'm at.

Pero 'di siya natinag. She keeps on walking, hanggang sa nasa tabi ko na nga siya. I moved back, when she tried to take the sheets off my body. I grip onto it, tightly covering my soul.

"Damn Zannah!"

"Tsk! I just wanted to check your belly Dork!"

Balik sigaw nito, na para bang madalas pa sa araw-araw na nakakakita ito ng katawan ng lalaki, just the thought of it, makes me irks.

"And why would you check my abs?" Hindi ko naitago ang tunay na damdamin, tsk! I’m pissed.

"It's not like I haven't seen those already, Dork!" She whispered. Nangunot ang noo ko sa naging tugon nito.

"What?"

"Oww! Come on Mallory! Don't tell me you're expecting yourself to turn back into normal with those fuckin' clothes, after transforming into a sexy wolf!!"

Saglit pa itong natawa, ngunit pagkaraan ay natigilan din, as sadness cross in to those emerald orbs. "I intentionally have hit you in that part of your body. And my arrows, it's quite dangerous." She explained.

“Sexy wolf, sweetheart, really?” And just like that my irritation evanesce, never thought he’ll find me sexy even in wolf form.

I took a look at my abdomen, and she's right. I saw a tiny dark spot on it, but no wound at all. Though I can feel it, the 'quite dangerous' thing she's saying.

Doon lang ako natauhan, it did really happened. That wasn't just a nightmare. I did transform into a wolf that night. Muling binalot ng pangamba aking sistema.

"I killed again..."

"Mallor-"

"Not just once, twice nor trice… I killed a lot of innocent people, again and again Zannah."

And little by little, fragmented memories slowly filled my puzzle’s missing pieces. "He was so hungry that night..."

I look into her eyes, when she did nothing but to listen. "I was like a mad beast, craving in. Another demon has awakened… I cannot handle neither one of them---"

She cut me off, by throwing herself to me. "Shsss!" She put a finger on my lips, forbidding me to talk. Marahan ko itong hinuli, bago ibinaba.

"Let's end it now, before they becomes strong-"

"No!" She quickly, commented. "Why the hell would you think that?"

"But, it’s the only way to defeat them."

"You're thinking nonsense!" She exclaimed standing up, but I hold onto her hand and pulled her, making her sat back on my lap.

"That's-" My words left hanging when she closed the gap between our lips. She does really know how to stop my world. Shutting down all my inhibitions!

Slowly, I pulled her closer as if we aren't close already. I enveloped my left hand around her waist when she started to deepen the kiss.

I hovered on top of her, carefully lying her down on the bed. Love this damn towel! So easy to take off, I stop for a while to look at her. But when she wrapped her hands around my nape, without further ado, I go on.

Fuck yourselves demons!
