The following day, Becca walked into Angela's room to find her still sleeping . It was late in the morning and she was still asleep which is so unlike her.
She walked to where the curtains were and pulled them to the side, standing with both hands on her waist for some time, she stared at her daughter who was laying down like a log of wood on the bed
The rays of light that penetrated from the now opened curtains didnt seem to do anything or help out in anyway. She slept still like a day old baby and with the way she positioned on the bed, Becca knew her daughter wasn't ready to get out of bed anytime soon
She walked to the bed, sat on it and stared at her beautiful face with motherly love and affection
Taking a deep breath, she stretched her left hand forward to give Angela a gentle tap on her bare skin
Angela merely responded by humming, but immediately went back to sleep again
Becca smiled at this and repeated this act several times to make sure she would he awake soon
She wondered if Angela has plans of skipping school. It was morning and late morning at that and she was still sleeping, sounding like it was a weekend
This act disturbed her as she set to tapped her vigorously, making sure she woke up this time around before she let her be
" Good sweetheart" she said to her daughter who rubbed her eyes sleeping with the back of her palm
" Morning mom" Angela grumbled the response under her breathe, and fell back to the bed again
" Huh, huh, don't do that. Get up and go get ready for school" her mom chided, forcing her to get off the bed.
Angela managed to get up and made her face into a frown, wrinkling her face in disgust like someone that was forced to gulp down a bitter pill.
" What's the problem there. Are you okay?" a concerned Becca asked with a worried look on her face
She sat back on the bed and used the back of her palm to check Angela's temperature
" What's the problem dear. Aren't you going to school today?" she asked her again
" No mom, I think am sick. I can't " Angela said in pretense, and laid weakly on the bed again
She didn't just want to go to school that day and so had no choice but to pretend to be ill, hoping it would work on her mom.. she gets really worked up and worried about stuffs like this, but still, she had to give it a shot.
"Oh my. When did this start and how come am not aware? I should go get the doctor right away" her mom said in a agitated tone.
" Hold on" Becca said and tried to go get her phone.
" What are you trying to do mom?" Angela asked with bulging eyes
" To go get my phone of course. I need to get across to the hospital. You need to be checked" came her mom's response
" No mom. There won't be any need for that. I'll do just fine without the doctor. It's not that serious, you know" Angela objected, trying her best not to appear guilty in front of her mom
" But dear..."
" Please mom, no buts. It's just a mere minor illness and I'll be fine after some hours. You have absolutely nothing to he worried about. I can assure you that much" Angela tried to reason with her.
" Are you sure?" her mom asked adamantly
" Very sure" she responded, closing her eyes for some seconds
" Alright dear, if you say so.I have to go now. I'm already late for work" Becca said.
" Do take care of yourself and don't hesitate to call le when it becomes difficult for you to handle" Becca said.
" Sure thing mom. I will" Angela said, smiling inwardly now that her plan had worked.
Becca gave her one last peck on her forehead and walked to the door, turned back one more time, blew a kiss to which Angela gave a broad smile to, before finally walking out of the room reluctantly and heading for work.From the look on her face, one could tell she was reluctant to leave but had no choice, after all, she has to go to work, Angela on th toher hands, was more than excited
Angela gave a huge sigh of relief and fell back to the bed, gradually drifting off to bed, happy that her plan. worked
School definitely isn't in her agenda for the day, as she didn't even want to hear about it. Her pretense was worth the shot, and gave her the result she sole desired, so off, she drifted way, farther, father into her slumber as there was no one to disturb her
While still sleeping, she finds herself stuck all alone in the woods in the middle of the night.
Her heartbeat accelerated so fast, making it thump so hard against her chest. It made her so afraid...afraid that it might burst out anytime soon.
How did she end up here, and what shes here? She asked herself these questions as she looked ahead of her and walked round looking like a lost sheep in the wilderness.
She neither knew where she's coming from or where she's going to, all she knows is that she's stuck somewhere in the wood in the middle of the night...and where she is,was completely consumed by thick clouds of darkness ,making it almost impossible to see, but she knows as long as it's safe, then she would definitely get out of it alive.
She thought so, and started looking for a way out.
It was difficult as she had to strain her eyes very well, but thank God for her wolf senses, which became fully activated at that moment, it helped her alot and she was able to
She becomes scared and agitated and started looking for a way out of the woods.
Looking left , right and then left again with no direction in mind, she became confused and at war within her.
How the hell did she end up here anyway?
She's never been in such a situation before, and the more she thinks of a way out, the more frustrated it became for her, but not as frustrated as trying to figure out what's the place she is in.
The place was new and strange to her. It wasn't the place she usually goes to.
She was still looking for a way out when she hears a wolf growling at her back.
He heart stopped beating for a moment and she felt the world stop spinning for a while.
Her eyes bulged out of their sockets as bids of sweat gathered round her neck and on her forehead.
She was almost frightened to death, as the growling almost scared her to death
Jeez!! what the hell was that sound?. She mumbled underneath her breathe, as she didn't make any sound in the next few minutes, hoping it would make the wolf go away and stop growling
After some seconds from when she heard the noise, she slowly turned her head to look back and gasped at what...who rather, that she saw
Leo...what the...
He was the least person she expected to see, and how come he's there with her...in the woods...all alone
It was as surprising to her as ever
So he was the one growling.
She stood awestruck and as her eyes continued bulging out of their sockets, her jaws dropped in shock and all she could do was stare at his figure.
His eyes held fury in them...fury which he used to stare at her while changing to his wolf.
Up till then, he was normal. She asked herself yet another question she knew she won't have an answer to and that is : why Leo didn't change into his wolf form until he saw her.
She sure hopes he's not thinking of doing anything nasty to her, or trying to inflicts pains on her.
Holy heavens!!
She immediately becomes scared and started moving backwards also.
" I'm... I'm sorry Leo. I really am. I'm so sorry for hitting you. I promise you it will never repeat itself again.. Never" she said, begging him for forgive him for hitting him, as she did this, she was moving backwards also
Her senses were now heightened.
As she walks, he draws loser too, this only made her more scared, and all her pleas seems to fall on deaf ears.
He seems to enjoy seeing her this way. He seems to enjoy seeing her in pain. He seems to enjoy seeing her begging him, Miserable and without no clue.
He likes it, there's definitely no doubt about that. It shows in every way and in everything he does, even the way he was walking towards her now
He didn't say anything or even act like he heard her pleading and begging him. His face was plain, with no emotion in then...it was void and cold looming, making him look like a coldhearted sucking demon.
It scares her more, and even more as she thinks about what he's gonna do to her.
Does he enjoy doing this to her ?
She wondered
She suddenly wished she had some supernatural powers or something, she sworn she would have been out of there by now.
This was hell...she told herself, trying her very best to hold back the tears that was almost falling off her eyes.
She looked back and saw the road was behind her, she turned again to loom at him and he was coming further to her.
" Please Leo, I'm sorry" she begged again, but it fell on deaf ears as usual
He instantly drew close to her and attacks her and she starts running away at that instant
This is something she should have done since while she still had the chance... while he was still far away from her, and probably while he was still running, but then, she had no idea... absolutely no idea he was gonna do this, so in a way, it wasn't her fault.
She wondered what he has in mind and in-store for her. The mere thought of it scared her so much and made her cringe to her bone marrows.
She's always felt this way around him, so it isn't supposed to come as a shock to her or appear as a new thing , but she was torn inside and caught in between.
The only fault she's gonna be having is if she's not able to run away...far away from him as far as possible as she can.This she has to do with her her might, will and force
She ran for sometime but just like I'll luck, he caught up with her immediately, like she didnt even run in the first place.
There was no chance again. There's no way she could escape now. She just had to bear whatever it is that is coming to her.
He caught her and the next place she finds herself was on his bed with him, they were now making out
How it happened or when it happened, she had no idea whatsoever, all she knows is that they were having is hot and it wasnt looking scary like she had imagined what he would do to her to be
She won't lie she wasnt scared and had to admit she was enjoying every bit of it...who wouldnt - Leo's looks alone is enough to make any girl go crazy.
She smiled as she also realised she had been scared for nothing and had mistaken his intentions.
She immediately wakes up and realized it had been a dream all along.
She placed her palm on her chest as she tried to calm her breath.
That was one hell of a dream, she admitted inwardly
