Chapter 46: Prey

EMMA

~

I think I’m paralyzed because I couldn’t MOVE! My legs were like jellies and I prayed they wouldn’t give out, I just couldn’t stop them from trembling as well as my hands, this wasn’t the chilly air but FEAR! Because the murderous look this red-eyed man gave me made my insides turn and the back of my hairs standing in alert, except for the fact that they weren’t red until for a split second, how did his eyes change so fast? It was just like... Dace’s.

"Tell me!" he seethed out and I gasped before jolting, my body shocked and my brain shutting down. I didn’t need anyone to tell me, this man was bad news.

"You smell like them, are you one of them?!"

"I-I-I-I don’t k-know w-what you’re talking a-about", I took a step backward, slowly, I needed to run, I needed to get away, out here alone with this psychopath saying crazy things wasn’t gonna end well for me, he looked like he just came out of the psychic ward with that look.

Definitely bad news! I bolted, panting furiously and the cold filled my lungs but it wasn’t until the air was knocked out of me and I found myself on the ground, I didn’t realize I was crying until I heard myself.

"And where do you think you’re going?" He mused with a dark glint in his ruby orbs stalking towards me like I was prey to him, maybe I was. My breath caught when he was suddenly face to face with me, he was on top of ME! He took yet another whiff. I could feel the boner he had! My body cringes in extreme disgust! Was I turning his sick psycho on?!

"Such a delicious scent"

"P-P-Please don’t hurt me" I whispered and I knew it was impossible for him to hear me but he did because he replied to me.

"Oh, sweet sweet girl," he mused. "I’m not just gonna hurt you..." His eyes trailed my body like he wanted to eat and fuck me at the same time "If you be-" I throw a pile of dirt at his face before he could utter any more disgusting words to me and I heard him growl as his eyes were tightly shut with plaster of dirt on his face.

I didn’t know where that strength came from but I was thankful it did, I was up on my feet the next.

"HELP!" I screamed as I ran as fast as I could, I have to, even as my body ached from that hit, I took a look at my back a number of times, he wasn’t in sight, good, so I was fast enough, but that wasn’t enough to clear the panic from me, I had no idea where I was going, but I needed to find someone, anyone.

Dace!

I felt a pull on my jacket and next I slammed a tree like I was a stone thrown at it, next was pain, fervent pain I have ever experienced. I thought a prick of a needle or a ball to the head was the worst but this was far beyond that.

I couldn’t feel my knee, I couldn’t move it, I slammed it on the bark and I think I broke a few of my fingers too. I coughed against the dirt ground, taking in the dirt rather than the air I searched for, I forced my body to move but I felt paralyzed to raise my body up, my hurting knee wasn’t helping me and I couldn’t see a thing. My glasses! I tapped my good hand around me, I felt only dirt and leaves.

"I told you to behave you little shit!"

My heart sky jumped and finally, I found them and I hastily put them back on.

"I will-"

When I heard him pause I whirled my head panting ferociously, what I saw horrified me, his eyes were gleaming, his red eyes were gleaming!

"Your blood" he groaned closing his eyes and drawing his head backward like he was having an orgasm, his eyes were back to me and I think my heart stopped beating for a second, his facial expression even though looked human was kind of animalistic but what made me almost piss my pants was the fangs I was seeing, FANGS! Up and down his canines.

"Must have it!" he stalked towards me and I screamed.

"EMMA!"

I snapped my eyes to the direction of my name, we both did and I felt hope rising within me but that was shattered when Dace gave a fervent growl that shook the trees, his handsome face turning animalistic, his eyes the brightest gold color, his facial looks reforming, I could hear the bones from this angle and I couldn’t be more chilled to the bones than I already am. Like a nightmare was unfolding before me, sabertooth fangs dropped just at his bottom lips, his nose taking a flattened shape resembling that of a lion, two black markings at each of his side cheeks like claw marks, I notice he mysteriously grow sideburns, a deep orange-brown color, his raven hair was the same highlight too.

On opening his hands, I noticed his claws and a slight hair on his hands.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!" he dropped to all fours.

The next I saw was a blur, one minute the red-eyed man pounced on me the next he was knocked off by Dace, The fight before me shouldn’t be real... what I thought I would only see in movies played before my widened eyes. Like animals were having a fight, but with the loud sounds they were making, it sounded like a battle between gorillas.

I was mortified, having a panic attack, a really bad one, I couldn’t slow down my breathing, what was unfolding before me was hard to process. My insides turn when Dace uses his saber tooth to rip the red-eyed man’s head off, blood splashing around like paint before my orbs.

I just witnessed a MURDER!

My eyes rolled at the back of my head.
