Fraternal Entwinement

CHAPTER 2

It's 11:00 pm midnight. Crickets could be heard chirping. The clock in the sitting area is clocking tik.tok.tik tok... Lights are off and the sound of the fishes swimming in the large Aquarium right beside the window could be heard.

The door suddenly started creaking.. Slowly and steadily Biyanca carefully opened the door leaping into the sitting area and shutting the door behind her slowly so as not to produce any sound and awaken the sleeping lovebirds.

One, two, three... she counted her steps as she walked eager to get to her paradise room.

Suddenly, the lights turned on! Biyanca paused in a 'Shaggi' position. She turned around to the sofa keeping her teeth locked together as she thought of what to say to the angered souls standing there in front of her.

She stood there for a minute trying to figure out what to spit out to her parents.

"Hi guuuyysss...." She forced a smile with her teeth still opened attempting to make the environment eased up for her as she was now a little tensed. The young lady has done this several times, but 11:05? That was extremely late. She had always.

"Oh..oh.." Biyanca acted surprised as her father brought out his phone and pointed out that time to her.

"Young lady, what is this?" Her father asked angrily pointing to his screen.

"Okay dad, I can explain. The thing is I was ."

"Baby, haven't we warned you never to stay out late? Look! It's past 11. You are still outside by this time if the night? You are causing your father and I heartache and you know it. Oh no..!" Her mother exclaimed sadly exclaimed.

"I know Mom.I did break the rules. It's just once. I ran out of battery and wasn't able to check the time.."

"Is that an excuse or apology..?" Her mom retorted.

"Okay, fine. I'm sorry Mom.. I'm sorry dad.." And she turned to leave.

"You are very certain that just few months ago, this city was struck with an earthquake, and we have not been safe since then. Biyanca, please, your mother and I cannot take it if anything happens to you!" Mr. Naytan in a state of worry exclaimed.

"You do not want to go about tarnishing the image of this family, of our company. You are our only child and we have no male son. What would happen if we loose you today?" He continued..

"Dad? This is just once. It's not a really big deal. I'm me, I'm fine. Except you want Earthquake to indeed swallow me up.."

"You don't say that young woman.." Mom replied angrily...

"I should mommy. I know I am the only child here, but you are both over protecting me. Maybe you should just go give birth to a son that you can control." Biyanca ended and left, going outside the house and banged the door in rage.

"What are we going to do now Naytan? She's making me scared..."

"Hmmmmm... I'm gonna go talk to her..." He followed Biyanca outside.

"Hey." She stopped her husband and said "remember she's all we got."

He nodded and left and his wife switched off the lights and went to her room.

**********

Biyanca sat on a long deck chair that faced the forest one sidedly. She sat there wishing all she could wish and swearing all she could swear.

She had no brother nor sister and was the only child of her parents and they never allowed visitors into the home. Biyanca just didn't know why.

They treated her with care and protection. I mean, over protection. The very thing Biyanca detested -being over protected. What's wrong with living a free life and having freedom? She always questioned.

She gazed at the stars apathetically. The time for the full moon was over. She then bent her head and stared at the forest as well. She had always wondered why her parents decided to live in a bush, though didn't really care as she got all she needed.

The night was a little cold and Biyanca felt it. She shivered, but she would not go back into that house. Her parents had just annoyed her. She may probably spend the night outside. She craved freedom.

"Hey, you must be cold..." Naytan slowly walked behind her and covered her with a warmer and then sat besides her.

"You know your mother and I wants the best for you right?" He began to converse hoping it got in well.

"Look, sweetheart" He continued "I know how hard it must be to be all alone in this forest with no siblings, and yeah, we restricted friends from coming over, but baby, we are doing a this for you."

He wrapped his arms around her carefully.

"We both love you okay. Just let me know when you need anything" Her father got up from the chair and turned to leave.

"Don't stay out late okay. You've got a big day tommorow" He ended and left her all alone.

She tightly held the coat and covered herself.

Just then, she saw the bushes moving jaggedly. It seemed something was there. She looked at that moving spot. She stood up from the chair and moved forward and closer to the bush.

It suddenly stopped moving. Biyanca paused. It was dark and she could not see clearly. She wondered what animal may be roaming the bush this late night.

She brought out her cell phone to turn on the light to see clearer, but her phone was out of battery.

She sat there for couple of minutes staring at the forest.

As she turned to leave, she heard a very low tone growl. It sounded like a dog. She didn't turn back. She just faced her front.

The growl came sounding again. She suddenly got scared and her legs began to shake. She wanted running but felt too afraid to do so.

Slowly and carefully, she turned back. Immediately she turned back finally, she screamed as she saw a big black wolf already in mid-air pouncing on her.

Reducing the gap between them, the Wolf closed in on Biyanca and pushed her to the ground. Biyanca was now screaming loudly. At this moment she thought she was dead. She raised her hand in attempt to push the wolf away at all costs. But it was too late.

The wolf headed for her upper abdomen, widened it's jaws and closed them there. Biyanca screamed again as she felt the sharp canines of the beast in her skin deep.

Naytan and Biyanca came running out of the house, Naytan with a pistol in his hand pointing to whatever her daughter was shouting at.

"Who is it? Where is he? Who attacked you?"

Her mother quickly rushed at on her looking for any injuries.

Biyanca still lying on the floor turned from her parents to look for the wolf, she pointed to the bush. The parents moved towards it.

"Where is it?" Naytan went towards the direction she pointed attempting to shoot.

Weren't they seeing it? Biyanca turned to show them where the beast was.

It was not there any longer. The wolf had ran into the forest.

Joy held her daughter's head. Fear and worry were written all over her face. Her heart beat increased.

Just when she placed her hands on her daughter's abdomen, she felt something wet and sticky. She looked at her hands.

She saw blood.

She immediately raised her daughter's shirt up and raised alarm to her husband who was still searching in the bush.

Naytan came running towards them with the flashlight in his hand. He stopped too and stood. He opened his eyes widely as his light shone on the marks of the wolf bite.

Biyanca was in slight pain

"Is it that bad mom?" She asked her mother not being able to bend over and take a look at her mother's abdomen.

Her mother looked at her and then to her husband and back to her daughter. She stretched her hands and placed them over Biyanca's eyes. Casted some kinda spells and Biyanca passed out.

"Should we take her to the hospital?" Naytan asked Joy, his breath now pounding faster. There was nothing that could be more important to him than his daughter at this moment.

"I'll get the car." He ended and turned to leave heading towards the garage.

"Wait... Don't go" Joy stopped him. She had been staring at her unconscious daughter now with a blunt worried look on her face. It was as pale as it could ever be.

"What?! You serious?!! She just got bitten by..." Naytan paused. His wife just sat there on the grass with her daughter in her hand.

Naytan now stopped insisting and paced closer to the two, switched his flashlight off and sat down on the grass with them.

Biyanca stared at her daughter and tears began to roll down her cheeks.

"Naytan. Our daughter. She's...she's now a werewolf"
