I woke up to the sound of thunder rumbling along the sky and the heavy downpour of rain. I sighed to myself as I grabbed my phone and texted Hope. "You tell me where to meet, I don't know exactly where." I text while I look outside, something was off and I could feel it. "I know, I can feel it too." I say before I got up and dressed.
Katerina texts me back. "Meet me at the nearby park and we'll talk." She messaged
I put my phone away and get in my car, driving in the pouring rain. "Hopefully all of this shit makes sense soon because I'm not liking any of this." I mutter while I drove
After a bit of driving, I make it to the park and I wait in my car until Hope shows up, thoughts running through my head. "I don't think all of this is a coincidence, the hunters and her showing up out of nowhere. I don't like it one bit and I think I'm overreacting a bit but I'm not taking any chances." I say while I notice Katerina finally showing up, I get out and walk with her in the rain until we reach an secluded building away from a lot of people that I never knew about.
"Now, what is all of this about?" I asked while I looked at her, confused a bit.
"Just be quiet and listen, I want to get to know you better." She says seductively in my ear as she stepped over, caressing my cheek with one of her hands, soon leaning up and kissing me, sparks happened between us and I couldn't break free from this
I pulled away from the kiss after a few minutes and looked at her, lost for words I couldn't say anything. I just stood there for a bit while I looked at her, collecting my thoughts. "Uh, well that was um....surprising. I didn't expect that at all." I say as I shake my head, I looked around when I noticed she was gone. "Katerina?!?" I call out while I looked around the area, not finding her I sigh as I go back to my car, thoughts and other things running through my head that I had no idea what they meant or how to block them out.
I didn't know it but I was about to be hooked into a trap that I wouldn't be able to escape from. I drove down the road while trying to collect my thoughts still and try to process what exactly was going on. "Is this something being used by the hunters to trap me or something else....because I'm fucked either way." I say to myself whole I drove around.
I decided to go to the diner I always have gone to ever since I got to America and get some lunch since it was around 1:00 pm and my inner was berating me into eating something, I didn't argue since I was too busy trying to deal with something else.
I sit down at one of the booths and order my usual, a burger and fries with a vanilla malt shake. "Thanks love." I say to the waitress as she took my order and walked off. I looked around the diner while I waited for my food. "I used to love this place when I first got here, now it just feels like every other place I have been too. But I guess its normal." I think while I continued to wait, a thought of Hope crosses my mind while I wait.
"I didn't think of her, so why the fuck am I thinking about her?" I asked myself, when my food came I smiled at the waiter. "Thanks again, love" I say before starting to eat my food and drink my shake. I continued to eat while more and more thoughts of Katerina flood my mind. "Leave. Me. Alone." I say in my head while I tried to block out thoughts but it didn't work at all.
"Aww what's the matter Wolfy, can't get me out of your head?" Her voice says teasingly through my head, causing my ears to ring a bit. I shook my head as I ran out the door and into the woods, the ringing causing my wolf to shift and I kept running, I didn't know where I was going but I needed to run.
I kept running and running before I collapsed out of exhaustion, panting heavily before passing out in the woods.
A few hours, maybe days pass before I finally woke up, my dark pelt covered in leaves and damp from the rain, giving off the scent of wet dog. "Dax, what happened..." I say to myself while I was still groggy and confused on what happened. I remembered hearing ringing, then my mind went blank. I didn't know what was happening but I needed answers. And I needed them now.
