Chapter 3 - teach me

Eliza woke up and freshen up. She got ready for school and was about to get out of her room but someone open the door and it revealed Christopher.

"Are you okay?" Christopher asked out of the blue. Eliza nodded her head. They went silent and just look at each other.

"You're coming with me. You're not gonna go to school today. I'll be waiting in the living room" Christopher said and left while closing the door. Eliza went speechless.

"What?" Eliza said confusedly. She goes to change into her comfort clothes. She's wearing a hoodie and shorts. She tie her hair and walked out of the room and make her way to the living room. Eliza look around the living room and spot Christopher sitting on the couch, busy with his phone. She went to him and stood in front of him. Christopher lookup.

"Where are you taking me?" Eliza asked. Christopher stood up and she back away a little. He didn't say anything and just walked away. Eliza look at him confused but decide to follow him. As she was followed him, they arrived at the gym. There's a lot of gym stuff.

"I wanna see you fight," Christopher said as he was already in the ring. Eliza got in the ring and stood in front of him.

"Why so sudden?.." Eliza said confusedly.

"I wanna know your fight skills since you hurt the student at school yesterday," Christopher said as that scene came back in her mind. She sighed. She took off her hoodie and throw her hoodie somewhere else, only wearing a turtleneck sleeveless crop top with shorts. She hold her fist and her eyes turned darker as she focus on him.

"Start," Christopher said. Eliza started to throw a punch at him but he avoid it. She kicked him and he again avoid it. Eliza started to fume. They started to fight each other but her punch nor kick never got hit on him. Eliza throw a punch and it almost hit his face but Christopher was fast enough to catch her fist. Christopher twisted her hand and lock at her back as she whined in pain.

"Okay okay, let me go!" Eliza said in defeat. Christopher let her go and they face each other with heavy breathing.

"You're fast. Where did you learn to fight?" Christopher asked. They sat on the floor.

"My father... Father teach me on self-defence.." Eliza said as she look at her nails. Christopher looks at her.

"Don't you miss your family? Why you didn't say anything about your family. You didn't even ask me if you can meet them" Christopher said. Eliza put her hands down and sighed.

"They're dead. I don't have anyone to meet" Eliza replied. She looks at Christopher.

"Then, can I ask this?" Eliza asked.

"What?" Christopher raised his eyebrows.

"Can I go out? I don't care if you come with me. Can I?" Eliza asked as with every word that she said, she got more closer to him. Christopher gulped hard.

"F-fine," Christopher said and look away. Eliza smile widely.

"Yes... Then let's go" Eliza said and stood up wearing her hoodie back. Christopher stood up as well. Before she could walk away, Christopher stop her by gripping her wrist. Eliza looks at him.

"You're going out now? Where are you going though?" Christopher asked. Eliza smiled.

"To get some fresh air," Eliza said and walked away. Before she could step out of the gym, she stop her track and turn around, looking at him.

"Oh, and one more thing. I wanna walk, I don't wanna ride a car" Eliza said and left the gym. Christopher scoffed.

(time skip)

They walked outside and met other things. Like foods, malls and everything.

"Chris Chris! What's that??" Eliza taps his shoulder and point at the ice cream truck. He looks at where she points.

"That's ice cream. You want one?" Christopher asked and she nodded multiple times. Christopher buys the ice cream for both of them and he hands one to Eliza. Eliza took it and ate it.

"Mmhh... It's cold but delicious" Eliza said and jumped a little in happiness. Christopher smiled at how cute she reacted. After a long walk, they arrived at the mall. They explore all the places that got in the mall. There's one shop that makes Eliza feel like, she wanna buy the stuff. The stuff that she touches and has an eye on it is a bracelet. It's a fake one, not a real one. The bracelet have an ocean blue diamond it had a moon shape. Eliza put the bracelet in its place back and walked away from there. She wanna buy it but she remembered that she came here not to enjoy herself. If she wore the bracelet, it might lose somewhere when she took revenge. Christopher saw it and look at the bracelet and look at her. He took the bracelet and pay it secretly. After that, it's already afternoon and they were walking in the park. As a wolf, the wolf loves to go out at least once a week. Eliza looked around feeling the fresh air as it relaxed her. She look in front of her and saw a dog with its owner. As they almost walked towards the owner, the dog growled at Eliza and start to bark. Eliza just looks at the dog as she knows that the dog knows she's not a human.

"Oh my. I'm so sorry, He usually does not like this. He was usually kind to strangers when he met them. I'm so sorry again" The owner-dog apologize as the owner picked the dog and comfort it but the dog still barking at Eliza. Eliza calm herself down and smiled at the owner.

"No no, it's okay. The dog may have its reason. You don't need to apologize" Eliza smiled at the owner. Christopher just looks at Eliza. Afterwards, they bowed to each other and walked away. The nighttime had arrived. They still walking around the road as the road is so quiet, no one around. Everyone had gone home. Eliza took a glance at Christopher and he look so busy with his phone. Eliza took this chance to run away. She walked slowly as Christopher start to be in front of her not beside her. Eliza saw an alleyway on her right, so she got in the alleyway. Christopher put his phone in his pocket and look beside him, but he saw no one. He turns around and looks around but no one is there except him.

"Shoot... Where did she go?!" Christopher cursed under his breath and called his men to find Eliza. Eliza was running in the alleyway but then she heard someone talking. She hide and peek in the other alleyway and saw two men talking to each other.

"Hey, where do you think she had gone?"

"I don't know. Since she saw her parents die, she's gone"

"tch... It's obviously she's scared"

"pfft-- Don't make me laugh. She a wolf, aren't she's the one who is stronger than human? hahaha"

"True. It's like us, humans are stronger than her"

"Yeah, she so weak" Hearing all the men talking make her blood boiling. She put her hood on and continued walking in the alleyway. She walked beside the two men and they smelled something.

"Hey, don't you smell like a dog?"

"Yeah, I thought I'm the only one who smell it"

The two men look at Eliza.

"Hey! Hey girl! What are you doing in the alleyway alone?" One of the men is called Eliza. Eliza turn her head a bit on them but they didn't see her face. She then suddenly ran away from there and that's make the two guys suspicious and chased her. She managed to get out of the alleyway and smelled the scent of Christopher. She looks to her left and follows the scented. As they all were running and chasing, Eliza finally found Christopher. She look at her back just to see how far they are and ran as fast as she can to Christopher. As Christopher turn around, Eliza hugs him while heavy breathing. Christopher was startled and shocked at the same time. He look down and saw Eliza. He want to scold her but the two men that were running towards them make him distracted. The two men arrived in front of Christopher and Eliza with heavy breathing.

"Oh, Mr Seth. Have you seen a girl with a black hoodie?" The two men asked as they look at Eliza as well. But at that time Eliza had already taken off her hoodie when she was running. She is only in her turtleneck sleeveless crop top with shorts. The hoodie is on Christopher back as she grips on it tightly. Christopher hugs her back and looks at the two guys.

"No" Christopher replied and at the moment the black car arrived beside Christopher.

"Mr Seth" The man got out and greet Christopher. The man opens the door for both of them as Christopher lead Eliza to get in the car. The man closed the door and drove off. Christopher just looks at Eliza without saying anything.

'Smell.... Like a dog....' Eliza thought. The memories came back as the scene kept playing in her mind. The claws, the dog, the smelled. Everything makes it so obvious that make people feel strange about it.

[the next day]

She woke up early and freshen up. She wore a t-shirt with shorts. She got downstairs and look at the living room but saw no one. suddenly one of the maids came to her.

"Are you finding something?" The maid asked.

"Ah, aunty. Have you seen Chris?" Eliza asked her back.

"Oh, Mr Seth is at the gym" Aunt replied.

"Oh, thank you, aunty!" Eliza thank her and ran to the gym. She arrived at the gym and saw Christopher punching the bag.

'To be honest, he looks really hot' Eliza thought. She suddenly realized what she just said and shook her head.

'Focus Eliza... Focus..' Eliza thought. She make her way towards Christopher and stood beside him. Christopher stops punching the bag and looks at her while wiping his sweat.

"Teach me," Eliza said out of the blue.

"What?" Christopher raised his eyebrows.

"Teach me how to fight," Eliza said with confidence as they just look at each other without saying anything.
