I entered Rachel’s Ford, while Paul drove his Mercedes to the night club, the whole place was packed. I could see some couples making out on the couches; some were grinding against each other on the dance floor. We three make our way to the bar to order some drinks. Rachel and Paul ordered whiskey while I settled with some beer.
“Hey granny told no alcohol for you” Paul protested with a frown in his face.
“Come on Paul it’s just a beer, it’s not even a strong drink.” I pouted giving him my puppy eyes, I know it had an effect on him and finally, he sighed.
“Just don’t drink more than two glasses.” I beamed at him and started to drink my first glass.
“I promise, no more than two glasses.” While I was chatting with Paul, I felt like someone was watching me. I looked around the place and spotted a tall guy of about six feet four with brown hair and blue eyes staring at me with an intense gaze. He had a well built lean muscular body that screamed power and arrogance. His eyes darkened when they met mine not with lust but with hatred and disgust. He didn’t divert his gaze from my face. I was pinned to my spot. I started to squirm uncomfortably on my seat with his deadly gaze on me.
“Hey, are you alright” I was broke out of his trance by Rachel’s voice. The mysterious guy looked away and lost among the sea of people. I turned around to see Rachel waving her hands frantically in front of my face to get my attention.
“Yeah I am fine” I assured her with a small smile.
“Are you sure you look like you are about to pass out”
“No I am really fine, let’s have some fun.” I completed my drink and pulled Rachel along with me to the dance floor. We both danced like a lunatic and swayed our hip to the rhythm of the song. After some time we both were exhausted, so we both made our way to the bar in search of Paul but he was nowhere to be seen. It’s already fifteen past twelve. Rachel turned to me with full of concern probably she too noticed the time.
“I think you should go home granny will be so worried, you take my car I’ll find Paul and I’ll go home with him.” She advised and handed me her car key.
“But I don’t want to leave you all alone in this club.” I reasoned out.
“Cathie it’s not a big deal I grew up in this place, so don’t worry about me. You know about granny’s temper and I don’t want to face her wrath anytime soon.” She was right; my granny could be a handful when she was angry. So I nodded in defeat and made my way to her silver ford. I started the engine and the car roared to life. I was driving through the middle of the forest on my way home, suddenly the car jerked and stopped in the middle of the forest. I tried to restart the engine but it didn’t cope up with me.
“Come on baby, I don’t want to spend my night in the middle of nowhere.” I again tried to start the engine but it didn’t work. I tried to call Rachel but there was no signal on my phone.
“Darn it! Just fucking great!” I opened my driver’s seat and stepped out of the car to find some signal. I was so busy checking my mobile suddenly I heard rustling of leaves from the woods. I narrowed my eyes to see what that was, but I can’t see anything in the dark. The rustling became so prominent, I narrowed my eyes to see an outline of some animal running across the trees, and it looks like a panther or maybe a wolf but I’m not sure.
“Shit it’s a wild animal I don’t want to be eaten by an animal.” I fidgeted with my key to open my car but the clumsy me dropped the key on the road. I crouched near my car to find my key but I can’t see it properly in this dark. Suddenly I felt some hot air flaring at the back of my neck. I slowly turned my face to see golden eyes full of fury. I was stunned, I stopped breathing and it was big, like really big, it was a black wolf. Its nose was only an inch away from my nose. I was pinned to my spot. I never in my twenty years of life, know that a wolf-like this exist in the world. It’s so big; I think it had anacondas as its food to grow this large.
“Hel…lo” I stuttered to the wolf but it didn’t change its scrutinizing gaze on me.
“I swear I don’t taste good, you can’t eat a human it’s illegal,” I explained Mr Wolf and it looked at me like I was crazy. Suddenly it moved closer to me, I turned my face to my side and shut my eyes so tight my breathing became so short, I started to have a panic attack and palpitation. I was blacked out as soon as its nose touched the nape of my neck.
