what the guy was. She’d read enough paranormal books when growing up to know that that man wasn’t like her. He wasn’t human.
As she awoke from her sleep she saw the most beautiful man she has ever met, with golden blond hair staring at her with that tranquil face disturbed only by sincere worry. Then it hit her. Caleb, was talking to that thing – that thing which made that noise she heard back when she was attacked.
“Who are you?” She said, almost inaudibly while she strained to get up.
Caleb shot up and tried to beckon her to lie back down. “Hailey, we don’t need to talk about that right now. You need to rest.”
“No.” She said, now sounding more intense. This scared Caleb. Hailey had always been the soft spoken shy girl. This was a whole side of her that he had never seen.
“Okay.” Caleb lowered his head and tried to avoid Hailey’s stare.
“Answer me Caleb. Who are you?”
He hesitated for a moment.
“Answer me!” She shouted.
Caleb stepped away from the bed and slowly stripped down. Hailey stared at his naked body not knowing what to anticipate.
Caleb turned away and slumped down on the floor as if in sheer agonizing pain. Hailey looked distressed but she knew better than to go to him while he was in this condition.
His skin started to tense as his hair thickened. He was looking away, but Hailey could still see his eyes glowing and teeth elongating into fangs. Hailey’s heart raced. She wanted to run away. But Caleb, or whatever it was, was right by the door. She clasped her arms around herself as she retreated to the furthest corner of the room.
As the creature before her slumped even further to the floor, Hailey turned around and started sobbing. She was scared, she knew that, but something in her told her not to be, that everything was actually okay. Was it because this was Caleb? The one guy who cared for her? But then again, if he really did care, why did he lie? Why did he make Hailey believe he was normal?
Silence fell.
Hailey slowly looked to where Caleb had stood. He, or ‘it’ was shaking – a huge wolf, with fur as white as snow, and eyes that looked familiar. Of course, she thought. They were Caleb’s dark blue eyes.
She screamed as fear finally took hold of her. Hailey was too overwhelmed by the sight of her lover transformed into a fierce beast, no matter how beautiful the beast was. She bolted from the bed and ran off, out of her apartment, out of her building into the cold of the night.
She ran and ran without noticing that she had stumbled upon a familiar place. The fog that had settled there reminded her of that moment. She stopped as she saw the alley, the white washed wall, and across the street, the lot.
A sliver of anger ran through her mind. If it weren’t for whatever had happened, she wouldn’t have had fallen for Caleb. She wouldn’t have known the truth about him. She wouldn’t be scared or angry or confused – she would be her old self, regardless of the fact that she wasn’t the biggest fan of her old self. She would rather be lonely and sad than have fear creeping and lurking in every corner of her mind and body.
Then a sound all too familiar started bellowing from across the street. A low, almost inaudible, grunting that had risen in a crescendo was permeating the atmosphere. She tried to move, but she found that her knees had given in to fear as she tumbled to the ground.
She screamed for help, as her panic had clearly come back. She struggled, forcing herself up as the horrific sound grew louder and louder. Then she saw it. A huge beast, black as the evening sky with brown splattered across its back, had materialized right across from her. There was an eerie silence that followed, as the creature was making its way toward her. Its fangs salivating, its eyes piercing through her, it stepped as if it was enjoying her tortured predicament.
She closed her eyes, accepting the inevitable fate that lay before her. She fought back her tears,
