Just then, she heard eerie sounds from the dumpster behind her. She decided to go check it out. But when she got there it was nothing. She then decided to persist in chasing after Jay. But, a feeling of anxiety set in. She started feeling paranoid as if someone or something was watching her. This made her frightened, and she began to run. But the feeling did not go away, now she began to feel someone or something following her.
She kept running, she ran as fast as her body could carry her, But the beast would not quit following her. She then got to a dead end, and she thought she had lost the beast. She tried to cease her breath so it would not hear her, as she kept panting uncontrollably. She was so frightened and had never been this scared before. Her heart was racing, and she could hear it beat fast as if the Chinese drums while at war.
The vicinity was so silent. For a few seconds she did not hear the beast grunt again, and she thought that she lost him. Suddenly she began to hear the beast grunt again, he ran past her and she quickly turned back. The beast then stood a few feet away from her, she could not see him but only his shadow.
"Jay, if that's you, please stop it."
Suddenly, the beast made himself visible to her, and said, "It is not Jay. It is Drex; your worst nightmare."
The beast then ran speedily, towards her. It happened at the speed of light. She was moved by the wind from his quick appearance. Just then, he faced the sky and hallowed. His hollow was extremely loud; it could tear down a human's eardrum. And the hallow did tear down her eardrums. She went deaf instantly. Returning his head down was diving straight to her neck for a bite. The moment his teeth penetrated her neck, she screamed at the top of her lungs; she had never experienced such pain in her life.
Suddenly, she blacked out. This was the night, the night of her awakening. The night where Anna slept and woke up as something else.
Anna's eardrums were damaged, but shockingly healed minutes later, and, she could hear. She could hear the sound of her heart racing; pumping blood faster than it has ever done. She could hear, the sound of the ambulance serene, the sound of Jay panicking, and the screams from the nurses. She could also hear the sound of the flapping wings of a butterfly and the buzz of bees from afar.
Her eyes were shut, likewise her body; to the extent of paralysis. The only thing she could do was hear, and hear indistinct chatter from far and near. The security at the hospital was tripled that night; it was well secured like the president's quarters. This was not only because it was a national concern, but because it was a trap for Drex.
Immediately, Drex bite her, she screamed at the top of her lungs, and Jay who was not so far could hear her scream. Instantly, he phoned his dad. His dad ordered military officers to the scene, as quickly as possible. Fortunately, they managed to retrieve, Anna's body and chased Drex off.
The military officers had planned to only chase him off because they thought the victim would be dead; with her body gutted like that of an animal, as this has been the case of the werewolf victims. The last persons Drex attacked were gruesomely murdered, but the case was different with Anna. It was surprising to the military officer to see Anna's body in one piece.
Their best guess was that her body mattered to Drex. And immediately they succeeded in chasing him off, they moved Anna's body to the hospital. The military did not use their normal bullets this time around. It was surprising to Drex as his skin was resistant to this bullet. The humans had begun to use the silver bullet.
This made Drex run off immediately after receiving two shots in his arm. The military officers feared she might be dead as her body was lifeless. But Anna felt alive. It was just then Anna's hearing senses woke up, although her body was still asleep. It was dawn already and Anna was still lying helpless on the bed. She could hear Jay's legs vibrate so quickly, his eyes and entire body shake, and his heart pound.
She had never seen him express such fear. She wished she could speak with him, at least let him know that she would be fine and he should quit worrying this much. Just then, her family rushed in. She could hear Mom wail loudly. Mom acted all caring now because Anna had become a public figure; her fame and popularity grew faster with the speed of light.
The people of Vallout had begun to whisper her name and spread the tales of the first victim that survived the werewolf's attack. She wanted to touch Anna's body, but Jay said, "No, Ma'am. Do not touch her. The doctor said no one should touch her." "Who are you to tell me when to touch my child or not?" Anna could hear their dialogue, but she could not just speak.
"You brought this upon my daughter!" Mom yelled at Jay.
Dad chipped in just then, "I think you should suspend creating a scene and adhere to the doctor's instructions." Mom kept quiet at once. Dad was in distress. Sam, Isabel, and Baby were at school. Dad held himself responsible. He looked at her neck and the cut was wide. He could see the bite mark and the strange teeth prints on her neck; unlike anything, he had ever seen. Although, the wound was stitched up.
A few minutes later, Commander Jamal arrived. It was 8 AM. And this was the first time he would visit the patient. Although, he was the one who gave the order to triple the security at the hospital, pursue the animal, and return her body to safety. She could hear the creak of the door when he opened it, and the sound of his boots as they kissed the tiled floor one at a time.
The moment he stepped into Anna's ward, he said, "Jay, what are you still doing here?"
"She is my friend; I just want to be there for her."
"It's enough, you phoned the military. Now, go home, son."
"But, she's my…"
"Go home now!" He enunciated.
"Okay, Dad," he sadly replied and left at once.
He then moved closer to Anna's body, to take close look at the bite mark. He gave an unwelcoming stare at their parents who were right beside him; as if he did not want them to be there. Subsequently, he went into the doctor's office.
