I could feel Fang's even breathing throughout the night, which told me he stayed. His silky hair tickled my neck and I could feel the rise and fall of his chest underneath me. It surprised me a bit that he stayed though, but sadly, I didn't mind.
At one point in the night I heard the distant sound of an animal's cry but I was far too gone to recognize it. That is, until I felt Fang stir lightly and slowly slip away from me. I pretended to be asleep and let him move away from me. I was curious as to what he would do and knowing him, he'll probably go off into the forest.
I heard him get off the bed, silently and heard the noise my window did when it was opened. For a minute there I panicked, What if he didn't come back?
At that moment I made my resolve. If I wanted to figure Fang out I had to start looking for answers by myself, without his help. If heading out into the dark, gloomy night was what he did often; well I had to start doing that too. Even if that made me feel like a stalker, but when I want to do something, I do it .
When I heard Fang's landing I waited a few minutes 'till he was out, sat up and jumped off the bed. Looking out my window, I saw the darkness of the night and past it, the dark mysterious forest. The night air was chilly and it made me shiver, but none of those things stopped me.
Slowly I walked over to my opened window and searched for any signs of Fang. As predicted he wasn't anywhere in sight and call me crazy but instead of leaving from my door, I jumped out the window and landed with a small thump on the floor.
I scanned the area quickly; looking for possible threats and when I found none, headed off in the direction of the murky forest.
You might think, there she goes again heading off into the forest, did she finally lose it? And let me tell you that you are probably right but since you already know, I wasn't some princess who is waiting on her tower to be saved. I am strong and capable of saving myself; thank -you -very -much.
So I headed into the direction I thought Fang went but didn't see any foot marks or anything. I hadn't been to the forest at night since the day I found Fang and now I remembered why. The forest looked sinister at night, way creepier than during the day. The trees made a shadowy, obscure atmosphere that could make the hairs on your arms rise.
I kept walking, not caring about the gloomy forest and searched for any signs of Fang being here, but to no avail. The breeze was making the leaves rustle and every time I walked I made twigs and leaves break.
In the distance I heard the sound of an animal cry, and it made me freeze for a few seconds.
Something was telling me to get the heck out of here, to turn around and head home, but I ignored my gut feeling and went deeper inside the frightening forest. I was hoping there weren't any stalkers or rapists out there, when something made me stop dead in my tracks.
Something I hadn't heard in almost a week. Something that made the hairs of my neck stand up. I heard the unmistakable sound of a growl. It wasn't a normal dog growl, this growl made your skin crawl. It sounded deep and gruff, which had my heart beat double time.
And just like last week it was coming closer and this time I was all alone. I couldn't run, I couldn't do anything except hear the growling getting closer and closer.
I finally willed my feet to run and when I did; my mind was working overdrive analyzing my situation. 1. My feet were so loud in the quiet night, it was impossible for me to be unheard. 2. I couldn't outrun whatever was out there. 3. The growls intensified and not only that but now, I heard several.
Let me tell you my options weren't good and I couldn't see a way out of this nightmare. So I did what any other person would do, I stopped and turned around, facing the darkness behind me. I mean I'm no sissy; I could take whatever came for me.
When I turned everything grew quiet and the growling wasn't audible anymore. My hands were shaking but I wasn't going to let fear get the better of me, I was going to deal with the problem straight on.
In the distance I heard the horrible sound of leaves cracking and branches snapping, and I immediately panicked. My frantic mind was searching for a way out of the situation when my eyes landed on some bushes that were hid by the shade of some trees.
I didn't think, I acted. My feet, as if moving on their own moved me to the bushes and I prayed that I was safe here. The cracking and snapping came closer and I could feel my heart thumping loudly against my chest.
What I saw next made my breath get caught on my throat. Out of the bushes emerged the most beautiful beings you could have ever seen. I admit that Fang was way hot, but it was nothing compared to these men that came out of the darkness.
They were absolutely gorgeous, stunning runway supermodels, if not hotter. The kind of guys, girls would have paid millions just to touch. They were about four and all of them were half naked. None of them had a shirt. Their chest were well defined, their muscles were clearly seen from here, making them look inhumanly strong.
Everything about them looked perfect but when I noticed their expression, my blood ran cold. Their eyes had a darkness that could make you cringe, making them look dangerous and cold. They gave you a gut wrenching sensation that made you want to hurl.
The one in the front scanned the area, looking superior. He raised his head and sniffed the air, which made him look dangerous.
Everything about them screamed 'Danger' and they oozed a frightening aura. The one in the middle bent over and ran his hand through the dirt. He then brought it to his nose and sniffed it. A cold looking grin spread over his face and he stood up, letting the others sniff his hand too.
The one in the front then spoke up and for someone so beautiful his voice was filled with such spine- chilling bitterness that you wouldn't think possible.
"It seems as though we have company tonight."
His throaty laugh echoed through the forest, making my heart thump wildly against my chest, making me think about how if it accelerated anymore I'd have a heart attack.
"Ari" The middle one spat in a gruff voice, "We have our orders!"
The one in the front, apparently Ari, turned around looking murderous. In a flash he ran his hands through the guy's face, leaving parallel scratches in the guy's face, which immediately started oozing scarlet blood.
"Sam, I give the orders, and I hope that, helps you understand how it works around here." Ari's voice was acidic, making some guys back away. His hands clenched and unclenched at his sides.
Sam's cheek had lines of blood running down his ruined face; it was as if an angry bear ran his claws over his face. Making it look like a blood thirsty animal had wrestled him.
With a sick feeling I immediately understood these guys were not what they looked like behind their beautiful façade. They were vicious creatures who could kill you in a matter of seconds.
My gut feeling was telling me that they knew I was here, and with a sinking feeling in my stomach I instantly knew that I couldn't take them all by myself.
Sam threw Ari a murderous glare and continued talking in a sharp voice, "You know what we have to do, don't get sidetracked now."
What happened then was amazing and it made me question my sanity. Sam's cheek, which I was sure had blood dripping two seconds ago, had stopped bleeding completely. I knew for a fact that, something like that didn't happen, with a cut like that you'd need stitches in order to heal correctly, but Sam's cheek wasn't even bleeding.
Was I dreaming this? Did I finally go nuts? I pinched myself over and over trying to wake myself up, but I knew I wasn't asleep. This was real, as horrible as it was, I wasn't capable of imagining this men. Much less their dark, aura filled presence.
Ari turned around and scanned the area, taking in every detail of the forest. My heart stopped beating completely when his gaze landed on my direction and a menacing grin stretched over his face.
He started walking this way, but as if hearing some noise, he cocked his head to the side and stood there listening. His grin faded and a mean looking snarl took over his features.
"Not him again!" Ari snarled suddenly.
He clenched his hands completely and I swear he looked hairier by the second. All the other men circled around him and took defensive stances, as if anything could threaten them! I tried to hear something different in the quiet night but all I heard was the sound of the trees being move by the breeze.
I strained my eyes against the darkness trying to see what they were all afraid of and in the other side of the path a figure stepped out. I couldn't see the person very well, but by his silhouette I noticed he was a guy.
The reason I didn't see the guy very was because he was wearing all black clothes. His dark hair made him look striking and his black eyes I recognized anywhere. The eyes that captivated me the first moment I saw him. Hi eyes that were now looking dangerous and flashing.
With a muffled cry I realized who the person was. The reason I went to the forest was to look for him and he was here facing them. What was wrong with him? Was he one of them? For how long did they know each other?
Fang's eyes were filled with hatred and all his antagonism was directed at Ari. He had on a glare that would've made people shrink. His hands were curled into fists and he spoke with a deadly voice I've never heard him use before.
"I thought I told you to stay the hell away from here."He spat icily.
Ari was now looking ferocious and his hard expression was transforming into something different, almost as if he was changing, but trying to control himself. His arms were hairy and I blinked a couple of times to see if I was imagining the sudden change.
"You know Jeb's orders," Ari snarled. "We know our orders and you know yours, we are just following them."
Fang's eyes tightened at the mention of his orders and my stomach knotted, so he was part of this. He was part of whatever it was. Here I was thinking of how much I trusted him, how much I needed him, and he turned out to be part of a murderous clan. Fabulous, just great!
Ari took advantage of Fang's pause and his thunderous laugh roared through the forest.
"My, my Fang you didn't forget your orders did you? 'cause sooner or later you'll have to fulfill them, which is the hardest part, I know. I'll suggest you do them sooner, you know how I hate being patient."
Ari took closer steps to Fang and when he got in his face he uttered his last words "You know what'll happen right? I'll take matters in my own hands."
Ari's hand stroked Fang's cheek and in a flash his razor sharp nail made a cut across it. It was smaller than Sam's but it still oozed red blood. My eyes became red; Ari was not going to get away with hurting Fang. I was going to hunt him down like a dog when I figured out what the hell was happening.
I waited to see what Fang made next but his eyes were clouded over as if realizing some truth behind Ari's words. I wanted to yell at him to snap out of it. To fight back, but Fang didn't, instead he took a step back and wiped the blood from his cut.
He seemed to have snapped out of his reverie and now he looked as mad as ever. His eyes flashed and he glared at Ari with a pure hatred that said a thousand things. He came and stood inches away from Ari.
"Don't you dare touch me again or I promise you I will kill you, even if it's the last thing I do." Fang put as much venom in his voice as he could. If looks could kill, Ari would have been dead right now.
Ari looked menacing and when he looked at Fang his voice was low and harsh, "Good luck."
Fang didn't so much as flinch and his next words were filled with power and authority, "If I see you or any of you one more time, you won't live to see another day."
And with that Fang turned and disappeared into the night, leaving no trace what so ever that he had been here.
