Darkness covered the road at the edge of the forest. No other sound could be heard apart of Liffi's gasping breath and her fast heart beating.
"No!!!" She shouted.
"Don't come near !! Help !!!"
Liffi continued screaming and running. There were two large wolves chasing her, one bold black and one pure white. Liffi was scared, she could only run and run.

"Liffi !!"
"Liffi !!" Wilona shook Liffi's body who was asleep on the office table.
"Hah?!" Liffi gasped in surprise, breaking out in cold sweat.
Just a dream, Liffi sighed with relief.
After taking a deep breath Liffi regained consciousness, wiping the cold sweat with the back of her hand.
"Sorry, miss, I overslept." Liffi was very embarrassed, caught sleeping during work hours.
"It's OK. You must have been very tired last night." Wilona patted Liffi's shoulder.
"What can I help you?"
"Mr. Hans called you, Liffi." Wilona left Liffi's desk.
Liffi glanced briefly at the small mirror in her wallet, smoothed her hair and wiped off any remaining sweat. After preparing her heart she walked towards the boss's office.
"Are you looking for me?" Liffi glanced slightly from the entrance.
"Yes, sit down Liffi."
Liffi approached, sat in front of her boss. Her hand continued to grip the skirt until it wrinkled. Liffi didn't think she had done anything wrong.
"So how was last night? I'm sorry I didn't tell the truth."
"Yes??" Liffi looked confused.
"Mr. Sadewa? What did he say?" Mr. Hans also looked confused.
"I just handed over the envelope and went home." Liffi said honestly.
"Huh ?? You didn't meet him?" Mr. Hans looked panicked. The envelope was just an excuse, it's actually Liffi that he had to deliver.
"We met, he just asked a few questions and let me go home," Liffi replied, lying a little. Because Sadewa never allowed Liffi to come home, the girl herself decided to go home.
"He let you go home?"
"Yes, anything wrong?"
"No, I thought he is going to talk about business." Mr. Hans made excuses.
"With an intern like me?" Liffi was surprised.
"Ah, never mind, the important thing is he's already met you. Get back to work." Mr. Hans asked Liffi out of his office.
Liffi left, still with questions in her mind.
"Huft ..."
ooooOoooo

Liffi had to go through two more blocks after bus stop to get to her studio apartment. Her body was tired, she was not usually like this. It was caused by the full week overtime and irregular eating hours.
"I am hungry," Said Liffi. Her stomach was growling.
Suddenly someone tapped her on the shoulder. Reflex Liffi immediately turned her head, she was surprised because a man in all-in-black outfit approached her. Liffi stepped back a little and took a way. She lifted her bag for self-defense.
"It's me Liffi." The man took off his mask.
"Black ?!" Liffi shouted in disbelief.
"Yo, what's up, Girl?" Black walked beside Liffi.
"How do you know I'm here?"
"I was walking around here and saw you. The sound of your stomach was calling for me." Black teased her. He couldn't tell the truth that he had been following Liffi since this morning. Liffi's scent made Black think about it, Black missed her. Black wanted to keep seeing Liffi, wanted to touch Liffi.
"Hahaha ... You're right. I'm hungry, do you want to come with me to eat, Black? Let me treat you, you still have some money left." Liffi made small talk. How could an artist want to eat with her.
"Yes," Black replied, making Liffi stared in shock.
"Really? Seriously?" Liffi smiled happily.
"Of course. Let's eat."
"Wait! But I can't buy you expensive food. Do you mind eating at a regular restaurant?" Liffi admited her inability.
"Small restaurants are also fine, Liffi, the important thing is that there would not be too much crowd." Black preceded Liffi to walk.
Ah yes, that's right. Being an artist, it's risky if so many people recognized him, Liffi thought happily.
"Come on, Liffi, I know a good restaurant," Black said.
"Wait for me, Black!" Liffi struggled to follow Black's footsteps.
They arrived at an Indonesian food restaurant. Black was the one who brought Liffi there. Black spoke Indonesian to the restaurant owner. Liffi was both surprised and pleased.
"Kamu bisa bahasa Indonesia, Black? (Do you speak Indonesian, Black?)" Liffi used Indonesian.
"Of course, I grew up in Indonesia." Black gave Liffi a food tray.
"Seriously???" Liffi did not believe that one of biggest artists in this country was Indonesian.
"I'm a mixed blood, Liffi, Indo-Europe." Black took the nasi padang he ordered.
"Hahaha, I don't expect it." Liffi was happy. She ordered the same food as Black.
They were chatting casually. Black observed Liffi's background through their chat. But Black found nothing. Black continued to look at the girl in front of him curiously. Liffi is human, she's not even a mixed blood like him. Is the Moon Goddess playing around with him? Making a human his mate?
"Do you know werewolves, Liffi?"
"I know, Logan, X man, Van Helsing, Twilight, what else, huh?" Liffi replied.
"Do you think they're real? In this world?" Black continued.
"No. It is just a fantasy story at the movie." Liffi lifted the spoon.
Black kept silent. Liffi knew nothing about his clan. Black smiled wryly, thinking about this matter annoyed him. Not to mention that he had to continue to hold back his strength when he was with Liffi.
"Looks like I have to go Liffi. I'll call you." Black lightly ruffled Liffi's hair before leaving her.
"Okay, Black, thanks." Liffi smiled and waved her hand.
liffi still smiling while watching Black go away. Black dashed all the way to the end of the road, his feelings of discomfort and his fighting instincts burning.
