The Wolf that Fell In Love with Little Red Riding Hood
Hi, my name is Jellal Fernandez, the wolf that lived by the forest beside the big river… the one that everyone fears, the one who owned the sharpest fangs and nails, the one who once possessed the scowl that can send a bear running down a hill once in sight…
But that all changed…. When I…
I…
When I fell in love…
Yes, I did.
I fell in love once.
That person changed me, she was the reason why I changed—even though we haven't met in a more formal way, I still fell in love with her, was willing to change for her… but, this thought stayed still in my mind, "Even if you change, she still wouldn't want you. You're a feared and known wolf, Jellal the Hitokiri Battousai. You'll just ruin her life."
(I disclaim the name Hitokiri Battousai)
But having ended our story like it did, it made me think twice of my thought.
.
.
.
It started three years ago…
.
.
.
"Woaaah!" I yawned, due to boredom
Today was a normal day.
A normal day….
Me sitting all alone by a tree, eating apples, waiting for someone to come… and the moment I see anyone, I kill them, is a normal day… for me….
What would the person's love one think? Feel? And do?
I never know—truth be told, I never cared.
What did they do when they saw me all alone in the woods?
Nothing
They left me starve to death, gladly, I was a smart cub.
What did I do, you ask?
Hmmm…. Let's see what a starving cub would do to survive…
I ate food brought by the villagers?
.
.
.
Wrong answer
Now, why would a villager bring food to a helpless cub, in the night, armless, when, the only reason why they came in the forest was to kill me? The last wolf in their place?
The only way villagers would bring food is when they present themselves to me.
Yes, I ate them all.
Did I forget to tell you that I am a wolf of the royal kind? Even if I'm all alone in the woods helplesslywalking around, I still hold great strength, intelligence, stealth and speed.
Now, back to what I'm doing as a 'teen-aged' wolf, quote the villagers.
"The sun was going down. I better hide my presence."
Like always, the villagers would come and search for me, and tryto kill me... well, they look like they're digging their own grave for me.
"It's getting dark..." A female's voice...?
What the-
Do they plan on letting a girl do their dirty work?!
A girl?!
Honestly, they're so desperate!
.
.
.
But even if she was a girl, I'd still kill her without any mercy in sight.
What? Did they HESITATE even just for a second before they tried to kill me?!
Tch, they're just wasting another innocent person's life.
Yes, it isn't the first time they did something like this.
They have ordered a little boy, probably a villager soldier's son, to lure me into going into the village. But I wasn't stupid. I killed that boy. And when the father of that boy, Macao was it? Tried shooting me with his annoying piece of crap that's called a gun, I killed him too- let him suffer first by killing his wife in front of him before devouring his whole body.
Evil, I know.
But they had the nerve to do so, and for their reward, death was after them.
I totally live up by my name...
And what is that name?
Jellal the Ookami Hiragana
...
Damn it, I always get side tracked with these side stories I tell you, if I don't finish this story before I sleep, I swear I will kill you all!
(Me: Don't worry guys, he's lying. He can never kill you adorable people!)
Okay, so, well, the girl... yeah, the girl... well, she... I...
I was going to eat her... yeah... umm...
I was going to do what was tasked but then I saw the color that was yet to be seen by my not-so-innocent eyes.
That familiar color that I see whenever I slaughter people... when I devour some... or simply slice off parts of their body (Eew, just eew)
The color...
Red
.
.
.
That color always activates my bloodlust, the pleasure of seeing people scream for help, for me to spare their lives. Oh, those were the days... but... why wasn't that desire activated when I saw crimson?!
Why?!
This better have a good reason.
...
I walked slowly, showing my identity… and her, feeling my darkening aura caused by annoyance to self, she ran away...
Me, only getting a glimpse of her fiery hair and that long crimson cloak hiding her appearance
And her probably only getting an idea of me being the wolf due to the shiny dark fangs I have.
...
I'm never going to see her again.
Might as well sleep now
The next day
I've been living my normal every day again... very boring in fact.
There hasn't been anyone in sight!
I think I scared all of them away!
Hmmm... I remember yesterday night. I can't seem to forget about it even in my dreams. Let me tell you what it is...
Dream X Dream
"I love you..." A voice, a dark but femininely soft one said
"I love you too..." That's my voice! What the-?!
Let all hell break loose! I'm in LOVE! I'm freaking IN LOVE! What?!
I could not believe this! It's shit!
Wait, calm down Jellal, this probably is just an effing dream (Well, it is.)
"But I need to go. The town's people are looking for me. They came to the conclusion that you might have eaten me—or held me captive… Jellal, I will be the only reason of your death… please, let me go." I still didn't.
Who's this woman? Why's she in my hold? Why is my face wet?! Wha- tears?!
Who….
What…
Where—
Who AM I? Damn it!
The Jellal I know wouldn't say 'I love you' to anyone, cry in front of anyone—hell, I don't even cry! Scared that people might see any weakness, hug anyone and have such warm and loving eyes…
"N-no…" My voice was shaky… why was my voice shaky?!
Oh wait, yeah, I'm crying…. That's why my voice was shaking-
My mouth, my voice and my tongue… MY WHOLE BODY! They're moving on their own!
"Erza, I'm willing to die for you. You're the one who tamed me. You're the one who changed me and…. The only one who ever loved me…"
I… love Erza?
Why… why does that bring happiness to my heart?
Happiness that was long lost. Lost even before I had it…
That name… that voice… that warm smile…
They bring me happiness…
Who was she?
She made me feel all these things by just saying all that she said to me.
"N-no Jellal, I don't w-want to be the reason of your demise… I… I- I..." She pulled away.
I haven't seen her face, at all, because of the darkness surrounding us
"You won't be the reason! From the moment I was born, I started digging my own grave! I'm to pay for all of the lives I took! The happiness I took away, family to family, lover or not, I took their life…" My voice cracked, then slowly faded
I felt warm hands cup my face, the moon slowly shining upon us, looking at the woman in front of me, I saw her… for the first time.
Her warm brown eyes boring into mine, the smile that had made me feel such happiness, the cherry colored lips I so badly want to kiss…
"Stop it." My heart skipped a bit, her voice was filled with sorrow, anger and softness all at the same time, "Stop saying that you deserve to die. Because you don't. Those people, the villagers, I know every single thing that they did to you. You suffered when you were small just because you were half wolf."
H-half?
"Your mother. I met your mother… she was my mother's close friend… She- she told us that you were to be hidden in the woods because the villagers found out that her child, you, will be the future murderer of all the people here… including me…"
Rage formed in my heart as I asked the question that was hidden deep within the back of my mind, avoiding that question every time it surfaces, that question that gets concealed whenever I kill, only when I kill, a loving mother, a father and a son or daughter…
A family…
This question, "Why… why didn't mother just let me die? Why didn't she just kill me even before I was born? She… she doesn't love me, nobody in this world will ever love me like you did… but... you'll just leave me right? Here in the woods, alone… I can never trust anyone because…. Because…. Because even my mother left me here—"
Pack!
I touched my reddening face, "Why…?"
''WHY?! WHY?! Well, it's all of what you said! You're the most ignorant, egocentric, dense idiot that I HAD EVER MET IN MY WHOLE LIFE! Why would you say those things?! You're mother loved you… she never left you! She died right in front of you when you were just a toddler! She died protecting you! S-she protected you till her death… I… I never left you… I never will…. What made you think that I'll leave you…?"
"I… I…"
Then the whole world started spinning before me…
Spinning
Spinning
Spinning…
And that my apples, is what I dreamed of last night.
It really made my head ache because I wasn't used to dreaming things that included, love.
I usually dream about me killing people, OR me having found my family and kill them for leaving me (Not true)
"Crap, my back hurts…" I bent my back then heard a cracking sound.
Oh, that felt good…
"Hyaa!" I heard someone yelp.
I looked at whoever yelped—the girl from yesterday… Oh, so I was mistaken, she's a teenager.
Yeah, that was a big surprise.
I thought she was a toddler last night
"Shhhh!" If I wasn't looking at her thinking about the dream that I had last night, she had already been dead meat.
Instead of killing her in an instant, I disappeared.
Leaving an apple behind for her
"Ahhh man! That was a special apple I left!" I ruffled my hair, frustrated.
I never share my apples!
Okay, so, you all know that I called you all 'apple' once, right? Well, it's what I'm going to call all of you, my adorable readers, because when you all ripen, I am going to eat all of you! (Again, I'm just kidding. -.-") [Know Hisoka from Hunter X Hunter? Well, we're the same.]
The next day
There she goes again… walking on the same road where she last saw me.
Why did she go back?
And why the hell am I stalking her?!
Grahh! I have to find something better to do than sitting around here and stalking someone!
Then I hear the red-head talk, "Uncle shouldn't be sending me here all alone in the noon." She grumbled
I remembered that her voice was very similar to the girl in my dreams',
"I love you..."
My heart then made a back flip
These things are all new to me; I haven't done a 'heart-back-flip' in my whole entire life!
I don't even know that there's a 'heart-back-flip'!
Wait, aren't there 'Heart-back-flips'?
No? O-okay…
Well, anyways, whoever this woman is, I want to meet her.
With a smirk, I left the tree.
Hi guys, I appreciate all of you for being all nice to me in the last chapter and I hope you all read this—and liked it of course….
