Lonely
Chapter eight: Another shadow
O
Roger Moontooth's POV
5 years in the future...
"Dad…" I ask him, looking away from the book about the Ancients' magic.
"Yes son?"
It's another day in training. Before I really know magic, dad thought I should do some more research on the Ancients.
How stupid! Outside it's the war of the worlds, and I'm in here playing student!
But I guess this has to be done… Some things are very interesting though…
"The book quotes a lot about a wolf's charm… Could you please explain it?"
He looks wonderingly at me, adjusting his sunglasses.
"Why do you wonder about it? There is no need to know about it now when you chose to not gain the love of the one the prophecy talked about." He says, sitting down in front of me.
"Yeah… I know, but I been through so much that I need an explanation…" I say, closing the book with a sigh. "Could you… please tell me?"
He sighs as well, nodding. He takes the book from my hands and opens a page as he begins to talk.
"Very well… The wolf's charm is a magic charm spell inside us that brings out someone's true feelings for us when around. It only works for someone who really cares about us though, and this magic exist so that every wolf can gain the love of the woman or man that will help him or her to a better path so he then later can work for the better good with the Ancient. For example with your mother and me, or Amy and you…"
"Please, keep her out of this…" I beg him, shaking my head.
"Very well…" He says once again as he takes a big breath. "The wolf's charm doesn't always work though… as it doesn't bring out love, but feelings. This is why there is the wolf's kiss. This means that when someone kisses you, having actual feelings inside that can be turned to love, falls in love with you. But only if that could happen by itself, since the wolf's charm and kiss isn't to create false love but bring out the hidden one."
Well… with a sigh I nod…
This explains all the weird things that happened in my love life…
"However… as you know, if you and someone else, that isn't the one from the prophecy, fall in love with each other your fate will do everything to break that love. Even through death…"
Great, any love life I have turns into a curse…
Fucking perfect.
Andy Rose's POV
"Present" time.
I… I can't believe.
My friend… my partner… the only guy I could trust in this prison…
The man that always would be there, that would never hurt anyone if they didn't deserve it.
The guy that just seemed to be the awesome misunderstood hero…
What happened to him…?
In the first second, he was staring at the sun, and on the other he turned into…
Into…
A giant wolf! Now running around on all four!
The other prisoners are running in fear, as the giant beast growls for food…
The fear is around; the fear doesn't seem to go away.
Even I'm feeling it! And he's my friend!
The guards are doing their best to shoot him down, but the bullets are doing only minimum damage.
But hell… how it piss him off.
Everyone who doesn't have a gun begin to run, looking for an exit. The prisoners are trying to use the moment to escape!
Even though he is my friend… I'm afraid.
He's become a beast, who wants nothing but fresh bloody meat! I… I gotta get out of here!
I begin to run, the fear still around me. But where can I go? Where can I escape?
I- I know how teleport! I can teleport to short distances! Man, I forgot about that…
I suddenly feel a chilly feeling in my neck as I quickly turn around, the giant wolf now charging towards ME!
Holyshitholyshitholyshit! He's gonna get me!
I gotta keep on running, gotta keep moving! Jump idiot!
He leaps into the air after me! I-I-I'm in total fear! What am I gonna do!
I quickly teleport away to the other side of the prison walls, the world seems to go In static as I teleport.
The static finally fades, and I land on a dusty road.
I made it!
I fucki- Uh oh…
He's behind me!
Normal POV
"Present" time.
The wolf lunged into the air towards the scared hedgehog, the wind giving it some extra speed.
It was like time was slowing down… Andy had nowhere to go… He was going to die…
He would end up as somebody's meal, a friend that right now didn't know what he was doing.
Then Andy saw his life flashing past him… His horrible father, the empty space that was filled with nothing but pain and loneness…
The only wish he ever had was to fix his life… which seems to never be able to happen…
'Please…' He begged to god, the wolf only being inches away. 'Don't let death be painful…'
Andy had never trusted or believed in god. He thought that if there was a god, the guy didn't care about him.
But in this very moment… he pleaded for help.
From any one… Even god.
He closed his eyes and felt he was pushed back.
'Goodbye world.' He thought to himself as he felt how he was pulled down on the ground.
But death didn't arrive…
He opened his eyes and gasped in surprise.
The beast was being pulled back by some black wolf girl with a sword. She was holding her hands onto the beasts head, pushing it back from Andy.
It growled tiredly as it began to slowly lay itself down, the girl letting out a sigh at the scene.
Andy blinked, the beast was now asleep and began to transform back to Moon.
He looked at the girl, black fur, cool haircut, black leather clothes and a huge-ass-sword.
"Are you alright?" She asked him, crouching down to him.
He breathed heavily, not sure what just had happened. He had believed he would be dead for sure.
"A-Are you…" He stumbled at his words. "Yo-You…"
He swallowed, closing his eyes trying to concentrate. He opened his eyes again, the sun shining from behind the girl.
"Are you an angel…?"
She chuckled and shook her head at him, giving him a smile.
"Sorry, you're not eighteen yet." She said, holding her hand out. "Try hit on girls at your age."
He let out a chuckle on her , gripping onto her hand so she could drag him up.
"You're probably just four years older…" He joked as he was standing on his two legs.
"Five." She corrected him before turning her gaze to Moon, who was lying down on the sandy road.
"You can teleport right…?" She asked him, giving him a sign to come closer.
"Ehm… yeah?" Andy said, walking over to her and Moon. "But only short distances, why?"
She pulled Moon up, a groan leaving his lips as he was pulled off the ground.
"Here, help him stand up." She told Andy, who then tried to hold onto Moon.
"Man, he's heavy…"
The girl turned around, hearing sirens in the distance.
"Okey, listen to me now…" She said, turning back to Andy. "Not too far away from here is a town, get there and find new clothes. Use your teleportation to get a good start. Whatever you do, do NOT go to the village that is closer."
"Why?" He asked her, but she never got the chance as gunfire broke their conversation.
"GO!"
Andy didn't wait, and teleported away in static, leaving the girl to herself.
She pulled out her sword as she turned to the police men that began to run towards her.
"FREEZE!"
As she charged towards the police, another shadow was watching her from the distance…
"Awww… She's sacrificing herself for the wolf guy… how cute." The shadow giggled evilly. "I should help her, making sure her friends don't get lost… They would love our village."
The shadow faded and rain began to come down from the sky, the sun being blocked by the clouds.
Artemis growled at the police men as they fired at her.
'Oh god… let Moony be alright… please?'
UH OH! Who's that shadow that spied on the guys? Is she dangerous?
What is that village they talked about? What danger hides there?
Well friends… who knows?
Besides me =P
