I opened my tired eyes, the sun light attacking me with its warm rays as I stretched myself awake. That's odd the sun is up very high. Why hasn't father woken me up? This is not like him. I got myself out of bed and picked up the rose that again fell on the floor in my sleep. Disappointedly a few of the petals had fallen off. I need to take better care of this. I laid it on my pillow and slipped on my working dress then picked it up again once I combed my brown hair so I could break off part of the stem and tuck the rose behind my ear. I yawned loudly as I opened my bedroom door.

"Papa?" I called out. "I can not believe you actually slept in." I stood in front of my parents door and turned the door handle. "Papa?" I swung the door open and froze in shock. My mother stood her bare back facing me and her bare everything else. And then there's my dad who's still in bed but his chest is bare and hair is all messy.

No way.

No.

No, no.

"Dear God no." I whispered. My mother turned around showing me all her nakedness, big breasts and a hairy....., I had to stare at the floor.

"Rosalie get out!" She barked then my father started coughing hysterically but I didn't move to comfort him I just turned around closing the door behind me. After a few long seconds of just standing outside their room trying figure not what I saw but how it was possible. I just never thought they felt for each other that way anymore... I ran down the hallway into the kitchen and through the front door and slowed down once I was outside. Okay Rose forget what you saw just continue the day as usual, there's nothing different about it. Then my mother's big bosoms came back in my mind.

"Ugh! No! Gross!" I banged my fist on my forehead and tightly shut my eyes. I continued hitting my head trying and trying to erase that memory. But it's stuck there in my head and nothing will ever possibly get that out of my mind. How did this happen? She makes love with one man then makes love to my father and... Ewe I have to stop thinking about this. I took one deep breath and hugged myself still keeping my eyes shut then exhaled opening my eyes. However once I did I yelped in surprise at the sight in front of me. This is so shocking.

"Good morning Rose." All the boys said hesitantly. Malcolm, Adam, Barney, Harry and many others that I can't remember. I stared at them shocked then blinked a few times to see if they were actually there. And they are.

"Uh good morning?" I said cocking my head to the side slightly just to emphasise my curiosity. Then I straightened remembering what happened yesterday. "Can I help you gentlemen?" I asked sternly and I saw Barney look down shamefully.

"We came to apologise Rose." Malcolm said and he really does look sorry but they still need to actually say it.

"Annette was too busy I suppose?" I said even though I know even after a day of knowing her that she is most definitely not one to apologise, she probably doesn't even know the meaning of the word sorry. The boys all looked at each other then snapped their heads back at me.

"Yes too busy." Adam said.

"Being a snobby cow." I heard Harry mumble and another boy elbowed him.

"Don't insult cows!" I exclaimed and that got them to laugh loudly but I shushed them knowing that my father is just inside.

"Listen we're really, really sorry." Adam apologised looking desperately in my eyes. Then they all at the same time said. "Will you forgive me." Me not us, but me. I giggled then nodded and their frowns turned into bright smiles.

"Rose what is going on?" I stiffened when I heard my father's voice behind me. I think my eyes are about to pop out of my head.

"Father they're..." He interrupted by silencing me with his hand. I put my hands on my hips and stared at him furrowing my brow.

"Apologising for what they did to you. Well the apology is not accepted."

"Papa!" I exclaimed but he gave me a wink so I shut up afraid of what's about to come.

"Please forgive us!" Barney called out his face distraught.

"I never want to see you boys near my daughter again!" He paused then got into a thinking position, finger on chin and eyes starring up into space. "Unless..." What is he planning?

"Unless what?" Adam asked eagerly.

"To earn my trust you'll have to help us out with few jobs on the farm." Before I could argue and scold, the boys agreed without thinking and my father gave them a devilish grin.

"Boys you don't have to really..." My father gave me this deadly glare so I winked at him. "I'm not worth it besides I think this work is to much for you." I innocently stated and my Papa grinned down at me.

"I can do it." Malcolm stated proudly.

"Please you need a real man." Adam said gesturing to himself however all the boys snickered and rolled their eyes.

"Since you think you have what it takes come to the barn." My father ordered and they followed behind him. Here we go...

"Rose I want you to help these men with the animals. Maybe introduce them to Betty. " He said sinisterly. Malcolm, Adam and some other blond haired boy came with me to the barn. 

'Honk!' Stanly greeted.

"Morning Stanly, Betty, Will, Agatha, Hazel." I greeted going over to the food sacks. Then something head butted my back. I turned around to see Della staring at me. "How could I forget you Della!" I gave her a few carrots and told The boys to feed the chickens while I fed  every other animals I don't exactly trust them with the other animals. Whenever the boys got near Stanly he'd honk at them which always cracked me up. Then Adam walked over to Stanly and the silly goose eyed him, daring him to come closer. "Adam..." Too late Stanly snapped on Adam's fingers and he yelped and staggered backwards. "Stanly! Go on scat!" I shooed him away then took Adam's hand in mine to examine it. I noticed from the corner of my eye the other two glaring at Adam. "Are you alright?" I asked and he took his hand away standing tall.

"I'm fine, didn't feel a thing."

"Yeah right I'm pretty sure I saw a tear, and heard you screaming like a little girl." Malcolm commented.

"I did not!"

"Sure..."

"Oh stop being such babies." I sighed but couldn't hide the smile.

"I'm not being a baby!" They both said at the same time. Dear God help these boys and me today and I'll let you watch me bathe for the rest of my life.

"Yeah, yeah. You can try to prove that to me in the fields. Emphasis on the try." I challenged with my cheeky grin.

"Challenge accepted." Adam declared leaning in so his face was only just inches away from mine. I had to struggle to keep steady because this is really uncomfortable. I can literally smell his rotten breath and feel it hitting my face, I stepped back and headed towards the doors.

"Come on gentlemen we have work to do." They followed on behind me as we came outside to see my dad and the rest of the 'men' getting the cart out.

"Alright you boys!" My father called out to Harry and someone else... Someone else with messy dark brown hair that hides his face however his body the way it's hunched over... "Go bring out the horse." My father ordered so Harry and the guy walked past me so I reached out to him and gently touched his arm. He froze and stared at me almost shocked, and when I saw his face my mouth fell open. Those eyes!

"You." I whispered and he hesitated then stared down at my hand grabbing on tightly on his arm the same hand he helped heal. I let go and touched the rose in my hair that he'd given to me. He's here. The stranger that saved me is here. "You're here." I breathed and he shook his head.

"I think you are mistaking me for somebody else." He said surely and I looked at him incredulously. How could I forget someone like him?

"Oh I don't think so."

"Believe me you have me confused to somebody else." He said walking off into the shed. My father came beside me and leaned his head next to my ear.

"Who is that?" He asked and I looked up at him. Should I say?  He obviously doesn't want me to remember him but he shouldn't be here if knows I'm here.

"Some man, I'll explain to you later." I told him and he nodded staring at the boys then back at me.

"You couldn't have met stronger fellows to help us?" I nudged him with my elbow and he silently chuckled.

~{*}~

"Come on boys keep at it!" My father bellowed as he stood on the cart watching the boys attempt to plant seeds. Honestly half of these boys have no ides what they're doing. I caught Adam just chucking the seeds all over the place, Barney is very good because he's  a farmer himself. Then there's the stranger who is ploughing with Malcolm behind him holding some seeds. But again he's just chucked them all over the place. I sighed and walked over to them falling to my knees to pick up the seed. I lifted it up to my face and stared up at Malcolm.

"Seed goes in hole." I stated making a hole in the ground then placed the seed inside. "Dirt goes over the seed. Pat it down and there you go simple. No bones broken." I whispered and stood up and stared at him crossing my arms under my breasts so of course he stared. "Well Malcolm go on and plant some more show me your 'skills'." He smirked at me then went off to plant more seeds. Finally alone with him I stepped towards the stranger. "You." I heard him gulp but he kept strong. I stared him down even though I'm shorter than him and I took the rose from where it hid in my hair and held it in front of me. "Thank you for saving me." I said and smiled up at him but he kept a straight face.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." He said walking around me.

"Don't play dumb with me." I said a little louder than I meant to so I stepped in front of him again. "I'd recognise those eyes anywhere and especially those bushy eyebrows." I mocked playfully and he raised one of his eyebrows at me so I accidentally giggled at him then froze and covered my mouth. I took it off and put my hands on my hips and he watched my every movement.  "What are you doing here? Really?"

"I saw these poor suckers attempt to help you on the farm so I came to the rescue once again. But it will be the last." I frowned at that comment. "You need to stay away from me."

"Oh I need to stay away from you?" He nodded and I scoffed. "And yet you're the one that's..."

"Rose!" I heard a woman yell.

"Mother?" I turned around and saw her standing far away off the field beckoning me over.  "Oh dear... This is not over." I told him and padded towards her.

"There are going to be a few changes around here... Who are these boys?" She questioned.

"Uh... Some friends that have offered to help."I stuttered and she grunted.

"Anyway I am going to teach you the ways of being a lady.  Rosalie it's time for you to become a woman." I stiffened, I don't know why but this should not be good.

"Could I become one tomorrow? It's a much better time." I asked even though I already know the answer.

"Don't be ridiculous Rose now come on!" She ordered.

"Wait let me just say goodbye to the boys and to Papa." I didn't wait for an answer I ran to my father as he watched me curiously. "I'm sorry Papa but mother wants me to come home."

"Why?"

"She says it's time for me to become a woman." I explained to him and he started coughing hysterically. "Are you alright?"

"Yes, yes I'm fine just... Fine." He said and Barney came over to me concerned.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"Mother wants me..." I told him and father jumped off the cart and stood next to me.

"I'll talk to her." He said and stomped towards through the dirt and slowly, slowly the boys surrounded me but the stranger stayed back. I can feel his gaze on me but I pretended not to notice. Even though inside I feel this little bit of joy.

"What's going on?" One of the boys asked, I think his name is Jeremy. He's got blond hair, fair skin and doesn't seem like he's worked a day in his life. Not meaning to be rude or anything he's is just very... Slack. And has a bit of a snappy attitude.

"My mother wants me to stay inside, but my father wants me outside."

"Let's pray your father wins."  Adam said and I agreed with him sighing.

"He's a man of course he will. She has to obey her man, like a dog obeys his master." Oh no Jeremy did not compare us women to dogs. I turned to face Jeremy and narrowed my eyes.

"I'm going to pretend you never said that and you better pray I never hear you say something like ever again because other wise Jeremy..." I paused and smiled sinisterly then glanced at the stranger. "I will grab his plough and shove it..."

"Alright back to work everyone and Rose..." My father lowered his voice when he said my name. "Where were planning on shoving the plough?" He questioned and I smiled innocently then looked at Jeremy.

"In the dirt." I said and the boys started laughing hysterically of course except for Jeremy. Even the stranger held the bridge of his nose and silently laughed. His whole body shaking as well as his head. He then looked up at me and when he noticed me starring his smiled shrank away.

"I don't know why you're all laughing but I have a feeling I don't want to." My father said and I noticed far behind him mother stalking off with a dark cloud over her head. I'm going to feel wrath later I just know it. "So we'll go to the corn fields and then do you boys want to stay for lunch?" He asked but he didn't need to. I already know the answer a big fat...

"Yes!" I chuckled at them then climbed onto the cart.

"So are we going or what?" I yelled out.

       ~{*}~

I jumped off the cart as quickly as I could very tempted to kiss the ground. I have been squished for thirty minutes between the leering Malcolm and the flirty Adam and sat across from the stranger who kept on looking at me curiously. I was close to going insane! And then of course Jeremy had to vomit while we were moving. The worst and most awkward thirty minutes of my life.

"Alright Rose I expect you to show them what to do meanwhile I think I'll take a nap." My father said then yawned loudly and I crossed my arms over my chest and tapped my foot. Is he seriously going to fall asleep while I'm stuck with all these boys? Who knows what they'll do while his eyes are shut. "Get going Rose." My father ordered lying back in the cart covering his face with his straw hat. He's only doing that because he's trying to hide his devious smile. I huffed then looked at the boys all lined up ready to work so they think.

"Follow me." I sighed as I stepped inside through the tall corn plants. The boys following on behind however the stranger came up beside me. I really need to find out his name how could I have not asked before? "What is your name?" I whispered.

"Can't say and won't say." He said.

"Why not? You know mine. Can't I know my saviours name?" I asked and he stared at my face. His eyes boring into mine.

"No." He said then looked away. What's his problem? I was about to question him but I tripped and fell forwards. He grabbed me but fell with me then the boys fell on top of us. And I don't know if it was on purpose or an accident but I'm in too much pain to question.

"Ow..." I whimpered struggling underneath their weight. It took me a moment to realise that the stranger's face is only inches away from mine, and his arm is squashed right underneath me and very close to my breasts which are in fact crying in pain. I pushed my upper body up and looked down at him. "Quickly move your hand I can't hold myself up much longer." He nodded and slowly moved his hand but someone shuffled around on top of the pile and pushed me down. So now his hand is stuck right under my boob as in my boob is crushed on top of his hand and my face is mushed into the dirt. I lifted my head up, spitting out dirt and I'm extremely irritated. "Ok the boobs that are bigger than Annette's are squashed here so please for their sake get off me!" I yelled and I heard a few of them laugh then groan in pain as they finally started piling off.

"Hey! Why is his hand... There!?" Jeremy questioned awkwardly so I sighed as the stranger helped me up a hint of red in his cheeks, and probably on mine.

"I don't know Jeremy maybe it's because I fell on top of his hand or maybe it's because he was protecting its fall." I said sarcastically but they all stayed silent. Except the stranger he chuckled and I looked at him to see him smirking at the boys, as they glared at him. "Ok come on lets get to work."

~{*}~

We came back home and for some reason mother wasn't in. But I didn't complain. Thank you God. I cooked for them, we ate together in a circle then listened to my father's stories. Every once in awhile I caught the stranger watching me and when I looked back he looked away. I immediately felt self conscious and nervously tucked my hair behind my ear.

"Rose what was the hag like?" Malcolm questioned and my father huffed.

"Oh please the hag doesn't really exist." My father said but I beg to differ.

"Actually she does exist," I said sorrowfully. I almost feel bad for the woman she now has no one. "Ugliest woman I've ever seen in my life."

"What happened?" Adam asked intrigued and I hesitated, I glanced at the stranger then at the floor.

"Does it matter? I got the apple there's no need to go back to the past."

"Exactly. Concentrate on the future." My father said then looked at me in a funny way so I rolled my eyes. Again he wants to talk about the future...

"Well in the future I'll make lots of money to support my future wife." Adam said glancing between me and my father. Uh oh.

"Lucky her." I said and Adam smirked at me. "I only hope that when you're making all this money you still have time to spend with your family."

"When I get married I plan on spending a lot of my time with her and our four boys." Malcolm said in a seductive tone.

"Four boys! Poor woman." I exclaimed and my father sat tall examining the boys.  Don't think I don't realise what's going on. They're all trying to impress my father! But I can tell he doesn't like any of them. Thank God because neither do I.

"What about you lad... What's your name?" My father asked the stranger and I turned to him and smirked at him. The stranger smiled but shook his head.

"Just a stranger." He said and I frowned in disappointment and sat back in my seat. "Besides I don't think it's safe to mention my name out loud when it's obvious these men want my head on a silver platter, to serve to the wolves." He said and my dad actually laughed while I couldn't help but grin. They shuffled on their wooden seats and eyed at the stranger practically shooting daggers. 

"True, true but I have to call you something." My father said.

"Call me... Wolfgang." He said as he quirked a smile not really looking at anything, "yeah Wolfgang." He said again sounding out the name to see if it suited.

"Oh how fierce." I stated in a dull tone.

"Wolfgang how do you plan on living your future?" My father asked.

"I don't really want to settle down or have a wife." He said and I found this for some reason disappointing but at the same time kind of fascinating. "I want to explore, travel the world and meet new people. Preferably female." Typical! He doesn't want to settle down because he's a horny wanker! But I kept my mouth shut and looked away.

"Yes... You're not from here are you?"

"No. I'm just here to sort out some personal affairs." He stated then looked out the window at the sunset. "In fact I better get going." I heard Adam mumble good riddance as he stood up.

"Rose show Wolfgang out." My father ordered and so I stood up and opened the door for him and we walked outside, him closing the door behind us and we walked side by side in a uncomfortable silence.

"So I guess this is goodbye for good then." I said acting as if it didn't matter, and well it doesn't matter.

"Don't tell me you're going to miss me." He said in a smart ass tone and I scoffed.

"I don't even know who you are." I said tucking my hair behind my ear then I realised the rose is gone. Oh well it's just a rose...

"Here." He said giving me another red rose I didn't accept it however. So he placed it behind my ear and I let him, liking the feeling of his hand in my hair. "I didn't really mean what I said back there." He whispered stepping back.

"About what?" I pretended not to know what he was talking about. He silently chuckled looking at the ground then he looked back at my face.

"Good bye Rose." He said and started walking away, I feel funny like something's wrong. I shook it off and watched him leave shoulders hunched over like he's upset.

"Wolfgang!" He stopped and turned around. "Thank you for saving me." I said and he nodded bowing down.

"My lady." I rolled my eyes at this gesture then turned around to walk back inside. I kept walking refusing to look back. Don't look back Rose. Don't. Look. Back. I reached the door and stupidly I looked back I don't know why but I just needed to look at him one more, sadly he was already gone. I stepped inside and saw the boys getting ready to leave so I left the door open for them and they walked out smiling at me and saying goodbye. Jeremy I ignored, The rest of the boys I merely nodded not really acknowledging them but Adam took my hand and kissed it giving me a flirtatious smile. My father cleared his throat and Adam was out within a second. I closed the door and walked off heading to my room, actually I feel like I'm floating to my room.

"Rose? Are you ok?" My father asked concerned. I don't know? I feel down and out. Must be exhaustion.

"I'm fine just tired." I said and he held my face inspecting my face.

"You seem troubled."

"I do feel a little strange." I admitted and he smiled in realisation.

"How long have you felt this way?"

"It's just started." I said and he nodded.

"Which boy?" He asked and I looked at him confused.

"Boy? This has nothing to do with any simple minded male." But it's clear from the expression on his face that he doesn't believe me. None them have won my heart why would he think that? That's ridiculous!

"Wolfgang." He said sternly.

"What about him?" I questioned.

"You are to stay well away from him alright." He said seriously and I nodded surprised by his tone.

"He's leaving anyway." I said feeling dazed.

"Good. You want to rest for awhile?" He asked but I shook my head.

"No I better start cleaning up." I said a distraction should help me feel better. Suddenly he started coughing hysterically. I patted his back as he bent over and I started panic a little. "Papa!" I yelled as he fell to the floor. I gave him some water and as he gulped it down he started feeling better. I think anyway his face isn't so pale anymore. "Go rest." I ordered and pulled back on his feet.

"Don't you order me around." He barked and helped me clean up the place. I made sure I did most of the heavy stuff, really concerned about his health then when mother came home I made sure I was out of her way and kept myself locked in my room. Praying she doesn't decide to enter my room. However she burst in looking a little fatter than usual and stood at the doorway.

"Rosalie." She said sternly. "Tomorrow you will begin your lessons." Lessons? What?

"Pardon? Um..."

"Quick mini lesson now. Never say um." She said pretty much threatening me the slammed the door closed leaving me completely confused.

"What just happened?" I asked myself. Is this the whole becoming a woman thing? Because I have big feeling that I'm not going to like it. I walked out of the room and followed the sound of my mother humming into the kitchen. "What do you mean lessons?" I asked but she ignored me so I came up behind her and tapped her shoulder. She sighed annoyingly then turned around to only glare down me.

"I told you before, you need to become a lady and what better time than now. This is going to be perfect." She whispered the last sentence more to her self then turned around picking up the broom that hasn't been used in over a year. There are still cobwebs and dust, she must be really excited if she's sweeping.

"Mother? I'm just a farmer! How are you even going to afford these pointless," she interrupted me ever so rudely.

"I will be teaching you. Now stop questioning me!" She scowled. "And do something about your dress. You know what go and wash yourself again."

"Again! But mother!" I was about complain but she gave me the look. You know when you're arguing with your parents and often they give you this disappointed or angered look that makes you just give up. Well she has a different sort of look that will scare the hell out of you! Her eyes darken but they widen and pierce into your soul looking for any sign of weakness, her mouth stays into a thin line while her eyebrows meet each other and her face now looks like she ate something sour and is blaming me for it. "I'll go take one now." I gave in then speed walked out the door. "Della!" I called out and she peeked her head out of the shed. "Come on let's go!" I yelled out and she ran out heading up for the hill. "Hey wait up!" I yelled out and bolted on after her laughing. She neighed loudly making fun of me and I managed to catch up to her. "Since when are you ever playful?" I exclaimed leaping onto her back and holding on tightly to her mane. She stopped abruptly so I could get into a more comfortable position then we rode on.

~{*}~

I swam around in the water not in a hurry to return home, I let Della feed on the grass and let my head fall back so my hair could soak up the cold water. This time I'm sure there is no one watching me. It's a cloudless afternoon so no eyes looking down on me. My nipples hardened from the freezing water and my fingers started wrinkling up, looking similar to the hags. Ugh must not think about that ever again. I wonder what Annette is doing now? What ever happened to Elena? Forgive me God but I do hope Annette choked on that apple, but survived of course! I giggled at the thought as I dug out the dirt in my fingernails. I heard a snap of a twig close by so I sank deeper in the water instantly covering my breasts with my hands. I backed away slowly eyeing at my clothes then in front of me where I heard the snap. Della has disappeared in the trees, maybe she caused the sound. I turned around ready run out but a boy stood there holding my clothes in his hand. I sank even further into the water so it was up to my neck. He has this crazed look in his ice eyes and is wearing nothing but this ripped pair of dirt covered trousers. In fact he himself is covered in dirt and his bare chest is full of fresh claw marks.

"The goddess of beauty bathing in a river." He said bringing my dress up to his nose and he smelt it keeping his eyes on me. I would blush if I heard comments like that about me but since I'm naked I growing angry.

"Put it down." Who is this guy? I would ask what he wants but it's clearly obvious.

"Come and make me." He said sinisterly and I gulped trying to seem confident which is incredibly hard when you're butt naked, and the only thing covering you is hands and clear water.

"I beg your pardon. Put my clothes down!" I demanded.

"Why don't you come out and get them?"

"And why don't you put them down and leave me be?" His eyes darkened into the same dark colour of his hair. "Put them down or..." Or what? What can I do without exposing myself to this... Whatever it is. The way his eyes darkened gives me the impression he is most definitely not human. He looks psychotic.

"Or what?" He teased stepping closer to the water. I stopped breathing for a few seconds then I lifted my fingers to my lips and whistled loudly so Della would hear and come running. I didn't think Della could do much since she'd never hurt a human being ever, however when she came out of the trees and saw this creepy looking boy she charged at him at full speed.

"Della?" I called out and she leaped up on her hind legs threatening the boy who snarled and dropped my dress. He swung at her which is a foolish thing to do to a horse so she crushed him with her giant hooves pushing him down on the ground and I gasped. She just... No! No, no, no, no! Did I really hear the cracking of bones? I jumped out of the water holding Della steady and pulling her back away from the limp body. Please God no. I didn't want him dead! I slipped into my dress not caring that I'm getting it wet and knelt down next his body. His body is completely crushed, two big red marks on his abdomen and his mouth is dribbling out blood while his eyes remained closed. Even if his intentions were disgusting he didn't deserve to die. "I can't believe this." I whispered to myself. What do I do? I can't just leave the body here. I looked at Della went back to chewing on grass not caring one ounce of what has just occurred. When my gaze went back to the boy, I got the shock of my life when I saw his ice eyes wide open and staring directly at me. I yelped in surprise and saw how he was completely healed but still looked crazy. He just watched me his eyes darkening again so I shuffled backwards but once I moved he pounced on top of me. His legs straddling me as I tried pushing him off but he's so heavy, eventually he just pinned my arms above my head and I whimpered scared. What is he?

"Nothing can kill me." He said then dipped his face in my neck, his tongue licked from the crook of my neck up to my jaw and I froze in shock.

"Please get off me." I pleaded pathetically, struggling under his weight which only seemed to be getting him more heated because one of his hands trailed down my arm, fingers lightly grazing my boob then sat on my hip. He moaned... No he growled? My heart is beating rapidly while my breathing quickened. "Please..." An idea sprung as his face came closer to mine. I have to pretend to enjoy this and hope he loosens his grip just a little. "I don't know if I can..." I moaned and arched my back up to him when his hand slowly started pulling up my dress.

"Can what?" He asked eyeing at my chest and I lifted my head up, my lips were at least three millimetres away from his.

"Let my hands feel you." I breathed close to gagging when I smelt his breath. His rotting, deathly breath. He hesitated then slid both his hand on my breasts and you won't believe how thankful I am for the thin materiel I have on. I squealed in pain when he squeezed tightly on my boobs but he took that as a sound of pleasure. Typical male ego. My hand reached his sweat covered hair and I tugged it gently. I grabbed a stone in my other hand so when I pulled his head back I swung my hand and slammed the stone into his cheek but had no effect what so ever. He glared down at me then grabbed my throat.

"I'm going to fuck you up then rip you to shreds." He threatened. Alright plan B. I kneed him in his crotch and he made this dogish whimper sound, his eyes changing back to normal and tearing up. I pushed him off me into the water and ran to Della. I climbed onto her and she didn't hesitate to run. I felt the tears finally escape and I know very soon I'm about to scream. If I had waited any second longer... He would have taken advantage of me. I held my stomach and threw up on the ground as Della kept on running.

"Rose what's wrong?" My father asked as I came out of the shed. I just stared at him tears streaming down. I ran into him and buried my head into chest crying and telling what happened. "Rose? I can't understand you." I looked up at him and sniffled.

"Someone tried to take advantage of me." He stiffened and his went blank.

"Who?"

"I don't know some creep in the woods." I sobbed. "It was so scary. Della attacked to get him away from me and she literally crushed him with her hooves but he came back to life and...and he." He stroked my face and kissed my forehead.

"Did he... Rose?" It took me a moment to realise what he meant and I shook me head.

"No I kneed him in the crotch before he did that..." I said and he took me inside.

"Rose I never want you going off on your own anymore. " I hear that. I don't think I ever want to be alone. "Promise me."

"I promise."

~{*}~

I heard the howling, it was faraway at first. But I swear it was coming closer. Full moon tonight and I've never been so scared in my life. Not entirely of the beast but I guess just the feeling of being alone is frightening. I know I don't get me either... I feel so confused, worried and I guess a little depressed. That's why I'm outside right now using the candle light and moon light to see and dressed in only my nightgown. It's a chilly night I know it but I can't feel it. I heard more howling faraway but it's different to the first howl I heard, and for some reason I felt my heart warm up just a little, it sounded kind of beautiful. Now I know I've lost my mind.  I shook my head and glared at the ground trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Then suddenly I heard the animals in the barn cry out in distress, I ran to the barn and looked inside to see some big hairy creature pull Betty out of her little stable. It's teeth sunk deep into her neck so she can't cry out so I started crying for her. I blew out the candle and reached for the plough outside the shed. This must be the beast, I quietly came behind it holding the plough tightly in my sweaty as he chewed chunks out of Betty. It's taking all my might not to start sobbing. I should have woken up father I can't handle this thing alone. However here I am... Della neighed loudly and Stanly honked which caused the beast to turn around and face me. I gasped as his cold cruel eyes glared at me, he has the face of a wolf but then he stood up on his hind legs. His fur looks pure black in the dark but his eyes are glowing piercing into me. He crouched down on all fours and crept towards me, his snout covered in blood and he snarled at me. I swung my plough at his face and he pounced at me. I ducked and ran around him standing in front of  Betty's dead body. He growled drool pouring on to the ground from his mouth. I swung again but he grabbed it in his mouth and flung it away.

"Papa!" I screamed realising how stupid I'd been, I should of ran straight to father. "Papa!" I screeched again and the beast growled coming towards me. I stiffened as he sniffed the air. His wet nose touched my stomach the blood staining it, then he lifted his head up to my height. He licked his snout as he stared at me hungrily and I tried to step away but his clawed paw scratched my arm and ripped my dress exposing my now bleeding shoulder. I whimpered loudly and fell back my head slamming into the ground as his paw squashed down on my breasts. Again with the boobs today. "Please." I whispered helplessly as he snarled at me. So I just shut my eyes, just get it over with. I can feel my dress get ripped open and I gasped opening my eyes. His eyes changed from ice white to pure black just like that boy. I knew he was a monster! "Sick twisted demon." I whispered and he growled in pure rage, then I heard more growling but not coming from him.  The beast was pulled off me and I cried in relief. I sat up and tried to pull together the nightgown as I saw another giant wolf pulling him out by the tail. He was pulled right out of the shed then he snapped at the wolf causing him to let go and ran off whimpering. The other wolf stayed however, in the moonlight you can see his fur is brown and is way bigger than the other monster. He's  buff. He turned his head in my direction but I'm not afraid, well not completely. He strode towards me all confident and I couldn't help but stare at him in awe.  When he was right in front of me I just stared at his eyes. His green eyes, but with a touch of blue around the iris of the eye. Just like Wolfgang's... "You." I breathed and he huffed backing away, I don't want him to leave again so I pretended that I didn't finish my sentence. "You... You're not going to eat me right?" I said and his whole body vibrated. He's laughing, good. I felt my arm and shoulder start stinging then I remembered it was bleeding. I reached for it but my nightgown began to fall apart so I held it together again. He came to my arm and started licking the blood. "Ow." I whimpered and he licked my cheek as an apology. I giggled then he went back to my arm. He licked right on to my exposed shoulder and when his eyes averted down, I looked to see what he was looking at. It turns out my chest is really showing, my breasts aren't visible but they might as well be. You pervert I was tempted to say but instead I pulled the gown up to cover myself more. Once he stopped I looked at my arm to see it in much better shape but still bleeding a little. "Thank you." I whispered ripping a piece off the gown and tried wrapping it around my arm but I felt so weak and light headed. He ran into the corner of the barn and came back with a blanket in his mouth, he placed it on top of me and I wrapped it around myself. I flinched when I heard howling faraway and Wolfgang started growling. I edged myself closer to him and he noticed my movement but didn't back away. He stalked over to Betty and I sobbed when I saw her stomach ripped open. "No, Betty no..." I started crying again covering my face with my hands. I turned away and felt him come beside me. He butted me with his head and I turned around to stare at him still crying. He licked away my tears and I giggled at the tickling feeling. "What am I going to do?" I asked myself then stared back at Betty. He butted me again and I got the message and walked out the barn with him right beside me. I should be feeling scared or at least awkward but I feel so comfortable with him, even though he can probably rip my head off. I stumbled a little my head feeling heavy, I must of lost a lot of blood. He being the hero he is let me lean on him. He led me to the front door and I turned around covering myself with the blanket, he turned around to leave so I chuckled. "Thanks again Wolfgang, I owe you big time." I said smiling and he stared at me wide eyed. And I giggled again. "I said it once and I'll say it again." Is the world spinning? "I'd recognise those eyes and bushy eyebrows any..." I blacked out.

I opened my eyes slightly, to see that I'm being carried to my room. But I feel warm and safe so I just rested my head on someone's bare chest. Papa? No he's taller and his chest is wider. I tried lifting my head but I ended up resting it on the chest again. I feel so weak but I moaned in appreciation of the warmth I'm getting. I closed my eyes and felt my body get put down onto something soft and comfy but cold.

"Cold." I whispered and I felt my nightgown get pulled off me  so the freezing air hit my bare skin and I hugged myself really cold. I felt hands grab my wrist and lift my hands over my head and I panicked a little trying to pry my arms away.

"It's ok, stop moving." A voice said and I believed it, instantly relaxing finding the voice soothing. "Wow." I heard the voice whisper and I opened eyes to see double of a blurry figure. I closed my eyes again and felt a warm hand on my belly, I moaned when I felt it reach higher up then it stopped right under my boob and then whipped away. The person put some shirt on me and covered me with a blanket. I snuggled into it mumbling a thank you really not caring who it is because all I want to do is sleep. I exhaled exhausted and I felt the person's hand cup my cheek. I leaned into it enjoying the heat it gave me and I heard a soft sigh. I sensed someone's breath hit my face and I opened my eyes just to see blurry again so I just closed them again. I felt dry lips touch mine but pull back as soon as they touched me. The hand tore away from me and I whimpered missing the touch. "Goodnight Rose."
