Chapter 36: Sunday Church
It was still nighttime, but judging by the faint lights that were entering this sacred establishment, dawn was coming…
The church was truly abandoned.
This wasn't only a feeling that he sensed when in the middle of his wet dream, this was also something that was real. The hunter had never seen such a decrepit church before. It was true that he hadn't visited many churches before in his life. Only a handful of times, as Michael was not a religious person, at all.
Then, as he stood up in the middle of the abandoned church, it donned on him… This was a perfect day for him to visit a church since he remembered that it was going to be Sunday in only a couple of hours as it was Saturday when Michael, Maleva, and Lycanna left town to go on this adventure.
Where am I? Michael asked himself.
Redheart was still processing everything that was happening to him and going on all around him.
This is absurd, but this is the same time I already visited in my dream. Somehow, I'm already familiar with this place, but that's impossible, right…? Michael thought as he explored the church a bit more. Yes. This was definitely the same one he visited before. It had to be him. It was the exact way, but the only thing that was missing was… Well… It wasn't something, but it was someone… It was her. The girl he saw in his dream was missing. The nun he saw. She wasn't here. This church was even more abandoned than the one he saw in his dream.
After realizing that there was no one here and remembering that he needed to reunite with Maleva and Lycanna, he headed first for the exit. He rushed to the front doors of the church and attempted to open them.
Thump!
Thump!
They wouldn't open.
The doors were locked. They were even chained up.
It was impossible to leave through these doors for now.
Damn! Too bad that I am no longer in my werewolf form… Otherwise, I would have easily been able to break these chains and open these doors…
He tried again and again, but it would never work…
Then…
"Michael!"
Redheart suddenly heard his name.
He froze.
He then slowly turned around to discover that he was not exactly all alone in the end. He saw Lycanna standing in the middle of the church. Looking at him and calling his name.
"Lycanna?"
"Michael… I've never been this happy to see you…" the little girl then sloppily ran up to him and hugged his chest tight as she cried so much. So happy to see him. So many tears dripped down her face.
"Lycanna? Are you alright?"
"Yeah… It's just that I felt so lonely without you and everything…"
"Where's Maleva?" he asked her.
"Don't know… Couldn't find her when I woke up here in the church…" she was still sobbing… Crying so much, her entire face turned wet.
Maleva was missing.
This was not a good thing, at all.
However, as if this was bad enough, there was more…
Before Lycanna could finish, hugging Michael as she sobbed all over him, someone else made its presence known from inside the decrepit church…
Michael and Lycanna didn't even notice the presence of this person or entity at first, but it was there… It was right there…
This was no joke.
The entity they felt was the shadow werewolf.
The shadow werewolf was back.
It was still alive.
It stood on the far end of the church, where the altar was.
Michael and Lycanna both saw it.
The floating cloud of pure darkness disguised as this black werewolf was intruding, coming toward them…
"Thought I was done for…?" the shadow werewolf spoke for the first time as it came closer than ever toward them.
Dawn lights continued piercing through the cracked and broken windows of the church, therefore, revealing the shadow werewolf's true appearance for the first time ever.
Turned out that the shadow werewolf wasn't an 'it', in the end.
It wasn't a 'he', either.
It was a she.
That was absolutely right.
The shadow werewolf was a she.
This was possible to observe for Michael and Lycanna for the very first time.
The dark beast had breasts.
Huge tits, even larger than Maleva's, which made Michael wonder how he never noticed them in the first place before. Her breasts were probably nearly as gigantic as Aurora's.
Then, it dawned on Michael…
The reason why he couldn't notice her breasts was that most of her body used to be covered with a bunch of dead leaves.
Now, most of the dead leaves were gone. Almost as if she shed them or something.
"The shadow werewolf is… A woman?" Lycanna asked out loud.
"..."
I wasn't expecting that, at all… I wasn't expecting her to still be alive, either… I thought we had defeated her. She was stuck in stone! Michael began panicking.
"This time, you won't escape me, Michael…" the shadow werewolf confidently declared.
It truly felt like the shadow werewolf was going to corner them in the church…
… Well, until…
"Guys!"
Michael and Lycanna suddenly and surprisingly heard Maleva's beautiful voice.
They turned around and noticed that the doors of the church had been cracked open a bit. Just enough, so they could see Maleva outside, attempting to fully open the doors and reach for them. However, the doors were still chained and this was impossible for now.
"Maleva," Michael was content to see her.
"Maleva! Save us! The shadow werewolf is here!" Lycanna was so desperate to escape the church that she used this opportunity and her small size to her advantage. Lycanna squeezed herself through the ajar doors and barely managed to push herself outside the church.
It worked.
Lycanna was saved and away from the shadow werewolf.
However, the same thing could not be said about Michael. He was still there. Still having to face the shadow werewolf.
Michael was still alone.
This was an actual fact up until the point someone else showed up inside of the church.
"Who's there behind you, Michael? Maleva nervously asked him.
"That? Have you seen it before? That's the shadow werewolf! And I'm just about to be attacked by it!" Michael panicked even more.
"No! The other one! The nun!" Lycanna shouted at him.
"The nun…?" Michael asked himself. Confused. Having no clue whatsoever as to what they were talking about.
He spun around and this was when he saw her himself…
The nun from his recent wet dream!
