After a long and tedious day at work, Emily is heading to her lonely apartment. She is an orphan, her parents died in a car accident when she was 10. Her mother only left behind a diary, but Emily didn't have the courage to open it for fear of feeling more sadness than she already had.
She arrived at her apartment and after eating fast food from her fridge she went to bed and was caught up in a strange dream.
In her dream, she found herself in the middle of a dense forest when she heard footsteps sounds. Frightened, she started running only to hear the footsteps also chasing her. Driven by her curiously, she turned to see what was chasing her. She saw a huge black wolf with golden eyes piercing into the darkness off the forest! Her distraction caused her to trip and fall. She came face to face with the imposing creature and found herself talking to it...
EMILY; P..pl..please d..don't do me any harm, she stammered.
Slowly in the dark forest night, the clouds shifted in sky revealing a little amount of moonlight. That's where she saw the wolf shifting slowly into a human form. An extremely handsome man was standing before her and looking at her with those intense golden eyes. He was bare chest and had very toned abs and muscles. He turned to her and said with a calm voice which also had a hint of authority...
HIM; Don't worry I won't hurt you! You shouldn't be scared of me, I will never do you any harm.
EMILY; W..who are you?
She tried to come up with a clear question with a lot of difficulties. She didn't only feel fear at that moment but also a strong attraction for the stranger. She was mesmerized by his beauty and was blushing! However, there was also a kind of bond between them...she couldn't explain what was going on, she felt like she could feel each of the stranger's heartbeat. It was like they were communicating... like they have always known each other. Slowly, the fear dissipated and was replaced by curiosity.
HIM; As I said you shouldn't be scared. You are here at home!
He said gesturing to their surroundings. That's when Emily saw hidden in the bushes, several golden eyes looking at them. She took a step back and felt hands laying on her shoulders! She turned and was now face to face with the stranger. They were so close that she could feel his warm breath on her face! He leaned in and started whispering in her ears
HIM; Please don't take too long to find me. I need you, we all need you here.
His breath was warm and tickling. This gave her chills.
EMILY; Please who are you?
HIM; You will find all the answers you need when you will return.
Emily was about to ask more questions but her surroundings started fading and she woke up and found herself on her bed. It was all a dream! She still felt the chills and longing from the stranger, it all felt so real. She's needed to clear her head to she headed to the bathroom so as to rinse her face! To her surprise, she found a message on her mirror written with her lipstick . It said " DON'T WAIT TOO LONG! BRAIDSTON FOREST "
She looked frightfully around but every doors and windows were untouched. Opening her laptop, she entered BRAIDSTON Forest in the search engine and found out it is a dense forest situated 20km from the city. She scrolled down and saw several reports about the place claiming that there were several wolf attacks on workers who attempted to cut down the woods for industrialisation purposes! Closing her laptop, she made up her mind to visit that forest! Little did she know she was about to experience the adventure of a lifetime!
