Chapter 22 - Chapter-22

Saeng then shut down the lights and falls asleep, then during midnight, a shadow of some creature falls upon her, observing her with yellow wolf-like eyes, he releases out low angry hisses at her and he jumps into her room and walks with light foot steps, his eyes shining with hunger and anger, he reaches to her bed and opens his mouth, his white sharp fangs shining in the dark, leaning to her face closer and closer and then through the moonlight, some features of the creature is highlighted.

His wolf-like sharp jaw and his sharp nails stuck into the mattress and his orange hairy body caressed her arms uncovered from the blanket.

He looks at her with immense rage and growls and directs his mouth at a fast pace toward her face and a loud painful scream can be heard, which might send shivers down the body if someone witness that scene.

The loud scream sounded quite painful, Saeng was breathing heavily and that wolf's stomach was now covered with a small but deep bleeding wound, blood oozing from his injury, and small drips of blood fell upon her nightgown.

She then tries to distract and overthrow him to escape from him, but even after being injured, he didn't moved an inch at all.

She then kicks him in the injury which weakened his stance and she pushed him away and grabbed the handbag.

She was searching in a rush to find that injection that will make the wolf unconscious.

She found it, but in seconds, her injection is grabbed by a snake's tail and that lady snake passes it to the wolf, Saeng was shocked by her swift move.

She decided to escape from there, she rushes via the hall room to the door, while both creatures are chasing her at a swift pace.

she feels her heartbeat fasten and her hand shiver, but she still managed to open the door and run fast as she can down the stairs.

She hears their voices and wolf howling and hissing sounds, she feels fright spreading in her body, and she feels their sounds coming near.

She looks around and doesn't find any suitable place to hide, then her gaze falls upon the deep lake, she then stealthily dived deep inside the lake until no trace of her can be seen.

Due to her practice in a long time breathing capability under water, she might save herself. Due to night-time, the water appears more opaque, which is to her advantage.

She slowly use her body to swim forward slowly inside the water, then she heard their voices clearly, as they were standing near the lake, the wolf was sounding quite angry and vengeful but the snake appear to be more worried than angry.

Saeng was swimming forward slowly deep inside the lake without making noise until she reaches the end of the lake, she waits and tries to figure out whether they are still there, she hears no voices.

She stealthily exposes her head only little a bit out of the water's surface, she sees no one and she looks all around, she feels safe.

She then rapidly climbs upon the land, and she is wet from head to toe, feeling the breeze teasing her, making her feel coldness and vulnerability, and fear, which was quite a lot for her to deal with right now.

She just runs from there, and, reaches an unknown street, she thinks of crashing into someone's house, as that is the only way for her to feel safe, she feels her body heat, and she feels the temperature rising inside her body.

She recognizes a home, which is Mi-OK's, she rushes into the building, praying either she finds them or Si-U, she arrived in front of the apartment and knocks heavily continuously beating her hand against the door.

She feels a sudden coldness in her body like she is feeling wobbly, she hears the knob turning but before Si-U could rescue her, she was taken away.

As the door was opening, a tail wrapped around her mouth and slowly she felt someone hold her from behind, capturing her in a deathly grip, she felt pain.

Suddenly, she was carried upon the roof and both those creatures were looking at Si-U with knowing looks, she tried to make a noise by tapping her feet hard against the roof surface but that noise was not audible enough to Si-U, and he went back inside the house.

Waves of tears rushed down her cheeks, and she felt devastated but she didn't give in, she kept trying, but her body felt like fainting, at that time, that snake made her look into her even after she tried to avoid it.

So, the wolf held her tight and she felt the snake's eyes focus on her eyes, and her mind voice faded and only her voice was speaking in her head, which commanded her to deeply fall asleep.

She fought against it but then she felt pain in her hands as she turned her head, she saw the wolf use his claws to scratch her arms, blood was gushing out, the wolf's eyes looked hungry in rage but the snake grabbed her from his grip as she explained, " It is not necessary. we have more important things to do. Let's take her there".

On the other hand, Si-U almost missed the chance to save her as he is unaware of the scene outside his house. They have already taken her from there.

Here Si-U is thinking about that scene, where Saeng made him realize something that he never thought of.

He felt anger himself due to his mentality and belief façade, The way she handled the alligator, who was furious, vengeful, and dangerous like a human when people hurt their emotions or hurt their loved ones.

He was also like an animal and had a hateful and superior attitude as he felt they hunt the innocent ones.

But he had been an illusion, Saeng was right about the fact that humans and animals are made of the same heart, they even function like us but due to large differences in physical anatomy and organization, we function in different styles but for the same purpose.

His face brightens a little with a smile upon remembering their conversation with Saeng, which had a unique perspective and meaning.

But suddenly he remembered something that made him feel angry at her but he felt pain in his heart, he felt confused by her personality, he just want to take time to let this situation pass away, he just needs to focus on his loved ones.

He turns his gaze towards his sister's bedroom, where they were spending time with each other, he felt alone in the room but he didn't want to disturb them.

He unlocks his screen and sends a message of encouragement to his friends, his sister, and his brother-in-law as well as Saeng even if he felt betrayed by her past action.

He then feels drowsy, and while resting his head against the tea table, slowly he fell asleep.

In another scene, the spider mom is crying out loud, her tear drops falling upon the ground, turning purple and damaging the carpet, and melting it.

Yeong's mom felt someone rushing towards, her, it is her son, who has transformed into a rabbit, she immediately weaved a thick and strong barrier between them leaving no gap to avoid him from coming near to her.

Yeong tries to tear those webs with his teeth but nothing happens as spider webs are quite stronger than other materials.

Yeong slumped down and sobbed shaking uncontrollably as he felt fear as neither his teacher nor her mother was there to cover him, he felt alone.

He sobs continuously and then feels his throat dry, then he feels numb and hears his mom's painful sound, she sounded scared and in pain, and he didn't know what to do to make her happy again.

He then remembers something, he rushes into his bedroom and brings out a photo where he, his teacher, and his mom were eating dinner together.

His mom took a selfie of that moment and then his mom kept that photo, he passed that photo through the little space between the barrier.

Yeong's mom noticed that photo and observes, she felt anger upon seeing Saeng in the picture, so she suddenly decides to spit out venom so that the photo melts.

But she couldn't as she remembered the moment when Saeng handled her son with affection when he was badly hurt and she always listen to him indirectly, she also took care of them when they felt danger lurking around their surroundings.

But still, she has the right to scold Saeng and teach her a lesson for her action as she deserves love and scolding from me.

She then hears a melody playing through Casio, which was being played by her son, she knew that tune, it is their favorite Korean song.

Yeong learned this so that he can play this song whenever they feel down or sleepy or tired. This made their surrounding less stressful and scary.

Yeong assured his mom," My dear teacher will surely solve this as she is a teacher, who knows how to solve a problem, I am sure she will help us solve this transformation issue although I like my furry, soft skin, cute and charming appearance still I like my human self more".
