THE BLOOD OF LUNA

CHAPTER THREE

"God, Please save me,

I know I fantasize the werewolf and supernatural beings but I don't want to come across a real wolf in my life" She prayed with her eyes closed.

Whereas God had other plans for her. She opened her eyes in the hope of not seeing that wolf or the sculpture. The moment her eyes fleed open, her eyes widened in shock and her mouth hung open.

She once again closed her eyes hoping for it to be a dream, a bad dream.

But, the reality was laying under the table in the form of a statue, which she can't seem to avoid.

She crawled to the opposite side of the bed and quickly ran out of the room. She caught her breath crouching behind the couch. She took a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm her mind.

"What am I going to do?" She questioned and her mind came up with a few ideas.

"I can seek the help of Faith"..........

"No, I can't pull her into this problem. I brought that sculpture. So, I have to be held responsible" She concluded.

"I can file the police complain".......

"But, The police are not going to believe me and I am not sure whether that wolf sculpture is related to the wolf that was in my room last night"

"Wait a minute, What if the wolf was in my dream?

A dream which is closer to reality" A thought was raised in her mind.

She peeked at her house, squatting behind the couch. There was no evidence of the presence of a wild animal. Relief spread over her heart.

"Ya, It has to be my dream. I have been reading more werewolf books.

I have to stop reading them for a while" She mumbled as she slowly came out of her hiding spot.

She stepped into her room. The statue was laying in the same spot.

"I know it is my dream but I have to do something about this statue.

I can't keep it with me" She thought for a while and came up with an idea.

Taking a deep breath and gathering her nonexistent courage, she marched towards the statue and packed it in a small bag.

She brought the bag out of the house. "Hannah, Today is a test for your javelin skills.

I was once an ace in the javelin from my class" She mumbled.

"Yes, you were the only one interested in that sport from your class" Hannah heard the truth from her inner voice but she chooses to ignore it and concentrated on her warm-up.

After a brief warm-up, she threw the statue into the sky but it landed straight in front of her.

Her strength and skills are not to be blamed. "It might be because of the wind flow" She came up with a reason and picked the statue once again.

One Hour Later,

"It is the best option,

Why I didn't consider it at first" She mumbled with a plow in her hand.

After a few failed attempts in Javelin, she decided to bury the statue in the backyard. With a satisfactory smile, she walked back to the house.

"I have to practice Javelin once in a while. I am lacking behind" She mumbled and paused in her tracks as something caught her attention, which she failed to see earlier as her concentration was on the statue in her hands, then the wolf claw marks on the ground.

As she looked up, the claw marks were directly under the attic window. After looking around she found them around her house.

"No, these are not wolf claws, there are many dogs in the town" She mumbled as she climbed the stairs while denying the truth.

when the crack on one of the stairs caught her attention.

"It can't be because of that" She kept on denying as she reached her room.

Without looking around she went straight to the cupboard, grabbed two pairs of dresses, stuffed them in the bag, and a blink of an eye, she was standing at the main door of her house.

"Aunt Alexa and Carol can deal with the wolf.

I am not coming back to this house this week" She made her way to Faith's house, which was a few lanes away.

"What the!!!

What happened to you?

Did your Aunt torture you?" Faith asked, checking Hannah's front and back.

Hannah closed her eyes and cursed silently for showing up at her house in her night dress and disoriented hair. Not to forget she walked in this state to Faith's house.

"I am fine.

Can I stay at your house for a while?" Hannah asked.

Faith pulled her into the house. "You don't have to ask, you can shift permanently" Faith replied.

Hannah smiled as she replied, "Thank you"

"What about your Aunt and Carol?"

"They went to attend my Uncle's marriage"

Faith turned and asked with raised eyebrows. "Is he the same Uncle, who gets married every two years?"

Hannah nodded in response.

"Get freshen up, I will prepare the breakfast," Faith said.

"Where is Denise?" Hannah asked, looking around.

"On a breakfast date with Mr smith," Faith replied with a wink.

**********

"Bye,

I informed Denise about your stay and my parents are away from town" Faith said.

"Bye, " Hannah waved as Faith left for her university. Faith was studying at the university located in the city.

She comes every weekend to stay with her family and Hannah.

"I almost forgot my mom's birthday because of the wolf incident," Hannah thought stepping into the kitchen.

She brought ingredients to make a cake from her little savings.

"Happy birthday to my beautiful mom," She wrote on the cake.

She couldn't help but smile as she remembered her mom's last birthday they celebrated together. She begged her mother to teach her the recipe for a cake.

"This tastes better than that one but you are not here to taste it" A lone tear slipped out of her eyes.

Packing the cake in a box, she made her way to the outskirts of the town. In her small town, this was an isolated place, located near a river, flowing through their town. There was a small but behind the bushes, to which no one ever paid attention.

It became a place of solace for Hannah. She found this place a year ago accidentally. Since then she comes once in a while to enjoy the river sounds which calms her down.

Stepping into the hunt, she smiled in satisfaction at her hard work. She tried to repair this hunt with the resource available around. Growing up with her Aunt made Hannah a multitasker.

Placing the cake on the bench, she lighted the candles.

"Happy birthday mom" She blows out the candles. "I miss you, mom" She mumbled.

She walked out of the hut and sat on the bank of the river, gazing at nowhere. She lost the track of time and slowly dozed off into sleep.

The moment she opened her eyes she realized it was night.

"How long did I take a nap?" She mumbled, stretching her body.

As she glanced to her left, she felt like the ground under her feet swept off. Unvolnbertlity, she moved back.

There in front of her was the same red-eyed wolf but today, she could see its pitched black body in the moonlight.

"God!!! Save me" Hearing her voice, the wolf turned towards her.
