CHAPTER THREE

Emma opened her eyes to find her self in a room. She felt pain. She couldn't move, or sit. She looked around the room, but didn't see anyone. 'Did he bring me here?' she asked herself. Soon, she closed her eyes and thought about her sister. 'Edna, I wonder where you are.'

Edna was in her bed, trying to fall asleep. Suddenly she heard her sister. She closed her eyes and replied to her. 'Emma, I think that we're close. I'm in another dimension with Andy and his parents. We're here to find you.'

Emma smiled when she heard Edna's voice. 'Oh Edna, I'm so happy that you're here. I don't know where I am. And I can't move. I think I'm injured.'

'Oh Emma. We'll find you soon. I hope. If you know anything new about where you are, just let me know.' Edna said.

'OK sis. Good night.' Emma said as she fell asleep.

'Good night.' Edna replied and she fell asleep as well.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In the morning. Emma woke up at the sound of dishes. She opened her eyes and saw the most handsome guy preparing breakfast. 'Is that him?' she thought. She looked around the room. She was in the living room. But a bed in the living room? 'What kind of a house is this?' she asked herself. She looked around, but there were no windows. Everything that a house should have was in one room. Except for the bathroom and the toilet of course. He was cooking near the fire place. The bed was in the same room, and there was a couch. She tried to sit, but instead she made her back hurt, as she was lying on her stomach. "Ouch!".

The man turned to her. He didn't notice that she was awake until she screamed in pain. "Try to stay still. You have deep wounds on your back." he said.

Emma's eyes opened wide in shock. 'The same voice! It's him!' She looked at him, then turned her head to the opposite side. A tear ran through her cheek. 'What will happen to me?' she asked herself again.

The man came and sat near her on the bed. "Emma, if I remember your name correctly. I'm going to put some healing cream on your back. It will hurt." he said, and without waiting for her reply, he pulled the cover of her. That's when emma felt that she had no clothes on. She closed her eyes tightly. 'Oh God! He took my clothes off me. What am I going to do?'

He took a bottle and poured what was in it on her back. "That hurts. And it's cold!" she said.

"It won't hurt after a few minutes." he replied and massaged the liquid on her back. She felt good. After that struggle at night, she really needed a massage. But she never thought that it would be accompanied with pain, because of wounds. "What on the swamp witch were you thinking by going out on a full moon night?" he asked her.

"What's the difference? I just wanted to go out with my sister. And I got lost."

"You don't even know where you are, don't you?"

"I have no idea."

He got up and went to wash his hands. Emma felt her back getting lighter. Her arms and legs were bandaged, as much as she could see from her position. After he washed his hands, he came back and pulled the bed cover on her again. "I'll try to find some clothes for you today. You can't stay naked all the time."

"Where are my clothes?"

"I got rid of them. They were torn into pieces by the wolves. You're so lucky that you survived."

"But what does the full moon night has to do with it?"

"At that night, wolves get more active, it's our monthly cycle. We go out for hunting that night. And we do things that we never remember the next day."

Emma was shocked. He said we, when he meant the wolves. "But you're a human. How can you be a wolf?"

"I'm a half-wolf. That's different."

"I need to sit. Can I?" she asked.

"Alright. Let me help." He grabbed her from the waist and elped her to sit. He was careful not to touch her arms or back wounds. When he held her, she blushed. A stranger touching her and she's naked. And she didn't even fight or argue about it. 'Not that I have a choise.' she said to herself. As she sat in the bed, he pulled the cover on her again.

"Thanks." she said in a low voice. "Umm, may I ask you about your name, Sir?"

"I'm Nathan."

"Nice to meet you Nathan. I guess."

"It sure was nice for you to meet me. Otherwise, you would've been dead now."

"Yeah. Thanks for helping me. But, why did you do it?"

"I don't know. I just don't know." he said and brought her a tray of food. He helped her to eat, and after finishing, he got ready to go out. "I'll go and get some clothes for you. try to stay in bed. It's better that way." he said and went out of the place.
