As Ricardo and the boys reached ada's home, they saw her fixing another set of food. "I was expecting you!" ada smiled and offered them a seat. "you were expecting us?" Ricardo repeated. "yes! I was expecting that the chief has already barged into your home and told you to stay away from me!" ada smiled at Ricardo and offered them a drink. Ricardo looked at the offered food and drink while the boys remained in their seats completely silent. "you don't have to worry! I don't kill my visitors with food or drinks!" ada smiled when she noticed their actions. Blithe was first to drink followed by the others.
"you know, we came by to ask you what you know about the beast?" Ricardo started. Ada breathed heavily and a sad smile appeared on her face. "my knowledge about the beast is the same with the others. The beast suddenly came into our lives, eating most of us then it hid to the forest and making it its home. We tried to kill it by our own hands by few strong, courageous and brave men but, most of them died. Since then the village feared the beast and its home making a new tradition in our lives, which is hiding in fear!" ada answered Ricardo with a smile.
"but you don't?" Ricardo stated. "in fact, you were the bravest to live on your own and not lock yourself up in fear!" Ricardo continued. Ada smiled. "thanks! You know, this village have already lived in fear for years and I don't think it would ever change! But I would be most thankful if you can leave this village without causing any harm!" ada continued. The boys sat in silence as she spoke. "why do you think that we would cause your village any harm?" Ricardo nervously smiled. "this village hardly get any visitors, let alone rich ones! I have already lost my father and my mother! So I could already die in peace! But this village could still change for the better! I would be most happy if could see that day! But when you came, I suddenly felt that something bad could happen if you stayed longer!" ada sadly smiled.
Ricardo and the boys silently smiled. "do not worry, we would not do any thing to harm this village! We would only like to stay for a few more days then we would leave quietly!" Ricardo continued. "and one more thing! Do not ever think of looking for the beast! The beast is blind! It could not see anything but pure darkness! It would not hesitate to kill all of your when it sees you! And don't go deep into the forest, especially at night! The forest is its home and territory, you would not be able to find your way back if you go deeper! You would be lost and die in it if you ever cross the beast inside it's territory!" ada smiled and fixed the dishes.
As the boys leave, Ricardo sensed something different to the girl's actions. "watched that girl carefully! She might ruin everything we planned!" Ricardo stated. "yes father!" the boys replied together.
Night came and ada stayed all night at home. Then she noticed someone at her doorstep. She opened it and there she saw daecan. "good evening daecan!" ada smiled and opened her door widely, inviting him in. daeacan smiled in agreement and let himself in. "I heard my father went to you this morning!" daecan started. "oh yes! He came to say hi and ask about the beast!" ada smiled in return and offered him a warm drink. "is that so! I hope he didn't say anything unnecessary!" daecan stated. "not at all! He was very nice actually!" ada smiled. "well, at lease now, I can breath freely!" daecan stated. "actually, I wanted to ask you why you are being called as a witch by the villagers?" daecan asked. Ada looked at him silently and smiled. "because I'm not dead!" ada simply stated.
"they want you to die?" daecan asked curiously.
"no! but they thought that living on my own would mean I would be the beast's easy target, but since I'm not dead until now, they think that I am a witch that can protect myself using satan's guidance!" ada explained.
"is that so?" daecan breathed deeply at her statement. "even I thought of that! How come you are not being targeted by the beast when you live alone in this unprotected place?" daecan asked.
"I don't really understand the beast! But I am glad that I am still alive! Whatever reason the beast has, I am only thankful that he keeps me alive and breathing!" ada explained to him with a warm smile.
"why don't you come with us?" daecan offered.
Ada was shock to hear those words come out from his mouth. She looked at him and saw his face looking at her seriously.
"what about your family?" ada asked.
"I'll talk to them! I can easily arrange that! I want you to come with us! With me!" daecan asked her with full hope that she would agree.
"you know I cant leave the villagers!" ada stated.
"I know that! But cant you see! They are taking away your chance for a better life! They are killing you slowly by the foul mouth!" daecan convinced her harder.
"I don't daecan! I cant just leave! And why are you even doing this!" ada asked with a confused look.
"you just don't get it, do you? Do you honestly think I am this friendly with every girl I see? Do you think that I would even spare a glance to a girl I barely knew? I was never like this before. I always see girls as annoying brats that only think of themselves. But then you came along and I start have this weird stomach ache and weird habit of thinking of you where ever I am! This weird dreams about you! This weird thinking of what could you be doing in this hour? Are you asleep already? Are you smiling? Are you happy? Are you safe? All these thoughts I never experienced before! All because I love you!" daecan said it all out.
Ada stared at him in shock. She stared at her like she never thought it would be said. "daecan, are you sure? Maybe you're just confuse!" ada asked in disbelief.
Daecan stood up and went near ada before slamming his lips on her. Taking her lips in a needy and rough passionate kiss. He experience pure bliss when she kissed him back with the same passion he had. When they separated daecan hugged her tightly like he never wanted to let go.
"please tell me you'll come with me?" daecan asked still hugging her tightly.
"I don't know daecan, I never thought of leaving the village!" ada honestly replied.
Daecan let her go and stare at her eyes. "do you love me?" daecan asked with pure torture in his eyes.
"I do! I never felt this way before! This feeling of happiness whenever you're around, the sadness when you're away, the strength that you give me each time you smile at me. This.." ada held his hand and let him feel her heartbeat. "this beat of my heart that always go slower and faster when I'm with you!" ada smiled at him.
"then come with me! I will take care of you! Love you eternally! Forever hold you in my arms!" daecan convinced her with his eyes pleading for her approval.
"I'll think about it!" ada answered.
"good enough for me!" daecan stated.
"you should be heading back! It's late!" ada stated.
Daecan left with a smile on his face, thinking of her face when he kissed her. He breathed heavily as he released all his happiness. But on the way, he was blocked by his brothers.
"what were you thinking offering her to join us!" bylthe questioned him.
"I will make her one of us! She will live with me forever! I will never let her go!" daecan stated firmly.
"are you out of your mind! She will run away when she sees the truth! She will run away like a coward!" baron stated.
"she wont! She'll be like us when she found out! I will never let her go! Never!" daecan possessively stated as he left his brothers.
A howl was heard by everyone when they reached their cabin. A very loud one. Daecan got up getting this weird feelings.
"the wolf must be angry or hungry! It wont be long now when he'll hunt again!" Ricardo stated as he prepare their ritual.
Daecan left the cabin and went fastly to ada but when he reached her home, it was empty, he ran inside the forest and started to look for her, he went deeper and deeper, and there he saw her, her hands, bleeding and her body full of bruises and her head bleeding.
"ADA!" daecan shouted as he scoop her and went back to the village. He went to the doctor's house and bang the house but when the doctor saw ada from the window, he shut his window and locked his house more. Daecan got angry and took her back to the cabin.
"what the hell happened?" bylthe.
"mother! I know you can save her! Please!" daecan went to his knees and begged his mother. His mother was shock to see him begging so she pat his shoulder and smiled. His mother was once a doctor so saving her was easy.
