Sofia's POV
The werewolves were fighting each other. Explosions, collisions, and terrible incidents took place where I was right now. I have been running away from the forest by myself. I can't find the right way to escape.
"Help me!! I'm scared!!" I was screaming for help until I fell down on the ground with a loud thud. I looked up to see a weird phenomenon in the sky. As I was trying to get up, a werewolf came towards me. It roared and jumped towards me.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
I suddenly woke up from that scary incident, I looked around and realised it's the same dream again. I had been having this same dream for the past few years.
"Oh god, give me a break from this horrible dream! What did I do to deserve this? I really need some help from a therapist."
With that said, I got down from my bed and went to the bathroom to freshen myself up.
—------------------------------------------------------
I had my breakfast on my own since I was living alone. I'm working from home as I was too lazy to go out and meet new people there. I had a coffee in my hand and sat on the sofa, turned on the TV for some breaking news.
"It was confirmed that a Total Solar Eclipse occurs on October 19th. It was said to be one of the longest eclipses since 2000. Reports have said that the phenomenon starts at 9.00 AM and ends at 10.00 AM. Citizens are advised to not look directly at the sun as it can cause damage to your eyes that could lead to blindness. You can only wear sunglasses that were designed only for eclipse other than normal sunglasses."
I turned off the TV and finished drinking the coffee. It looked like I had to stay in my house when the Solar Eclipse began. I had to buy some groceries at the market as some of them had run out.
As I opened the door, I slipped onto something that made me lose my balance. I thought I was going to meet the ground but instead I fell on someone. Worst of all, I accidentally kissed that person's cheek. I was shocked and slowly looked at the person. It was a man.
I quickly stood up from him and adjusted myself, trying not to be awkward whoever the man was. He also stood up from the ground and rubbed his clothes to get rid of dirt. He slowly looked up at me and.....damn, those eyes were magical. He looked rugged and strong, judging by his physical appearance.
"I'm…. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...." I was trying not to be obvious for once.
Then, he stopped me in the middle. "It's ok, I'm fine. It's just…..I didn't expect that I would be greeted in this way."
Oh great, I had embarrassed myself in front of this man I didn't even know. Wait a minute, who is this man anyway?
"Uh…who are you and why are you standing in front of my house?"
The man quickly composed himself and smiled at me. "Hi, I'm Jack, I just moved in here next to your house. Nice to meet you."
Oh, Jack was the name, and he moved in next to my house, so he's my new neighbour.
"Nice to meet you too, Jack. So…why…."
I still didn't get why he was standing in front of my house.
"Oh…um…I'm here to tell you that we should be friends if you'd like to. I didn't want you to feel threatened by me."
Aww, how sweet this man was. He didn't want me to feel uncomfortable with him. It's my first time witnessing such a different and kind man.
"Wow, I wasn't expecting that to be honest. But, thanks for your concern, and of course, we can be good friends and neighbours." I smiled at him and he smiled back. His smile did something weird to me out of nowhere.
"And you are..." He was trying to know my name, how silly I am that I didn't tell him my name yet.
"Oh, uh…I'm Sofia, and I live alone here. If you don't mind, I have to go to the groceries." I said quickly as I was rushing to go to the market.
"Sorry if I disturbed you, go ahead." Jack moved away and let me go.
"Thanks, and….it was nice meeting you by the way." I said and got into my car. I still couldn't believe I kissed him on his cheek, what am I going to do now?! I looked back at him and he was smiling at himself. Wait, did he like the kiss as well?!!
—------------------------------------------------------
After a while, I managed to buy the groceries I needed. I was driving back home and quite excited to see that guy Jack again. He was kind of handsome and cute, or maybe hot. I could still remember his cute dashing smile with his dimples on his cheeks.
I was thinking about Jack too much until I didn't notice a figure standing on the road. I quickly put the brake on and managed to stop the car before it could hit it.
"What the heck?! Who is it?!" I angrily got out of my car and went towards the figure, it was an old woman dressed in all black. "Who are you, ma'am?! Can't you see you're on the road?! What do you think you're doing?!"
The old woman didn't reply to me, she looked down on the ground but I could see her wide smirk.
"Ma'am, are you lost? Do you even know where you are?" I asked her so many questions but she didn't reply to me once.
"What's wrong with you? I keep asking you but you're being quiet? Are you fine?" I was about to touch her but she held my hand faster. I looked down to her grip on my hand in shock.
"Ma'am, what are you….." The old woman quickly cut me off with her hoarse voice.
"You are going to experience something unimaginable..." She told me that statement which made me confused.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" I tried to make things sense as to what was happening right now.
"And it's not going to be ordinary…..you are going to create a mass collision so soon. Be careful." With that said, she sprinkled some orbs in front of me that made coughing so hard. And the next thing I knew, she disappeared.
"Where did she go? And what was that all about?" I couldn't understand what that old woman was trying to say. I guess she was a bit crazy to say such weird things. I ignored those thoughts and went back to my car.
But, her words kind of made me feel something, is something huge about to happen soon?
—------------------------------------------------------
I managed to drive back home before late at night. I put back all the groceries in my house. As I went outside, I looked around to see if Jack's here, but he was not at home.
"I guess he must be busy with his work." Since I had nothing to do, I decided to have a night walk alone, which I often did. As I walked not far from my house, I came across Angela Forest again.
This forest is said to be one of the creepiest forests in the world, locals claimed that they had seen weird apparition and incidents took place in this forest but they couldn't figure out what.
I didn't care about that much of this forest, I would simply walk away without looking back. As I kept walking, I saw the full moon was covered by the clouds, it was beautiful like a goddess.
As I was admiring the beauty of the moon, I heard a growling sound coming from nearby. I stopped walking and looked around, there was no one there. I was about to walk again but another growling sound came.
"Who….who is it?....." I started to get scared and called out as to who was making that sound. "Don't scare me…I'm just here for…for….a walk."
Suddenly, a werewolf jumped out of a bush and stood in front of me. I widened my eyes in shock and screamed, and fell down on the ground by its sudden appearance.
"No...don't come near me…" I kept crawling back in panic but the werewolf kept walking towards me. "Go away…. don't hurt me!!! Help!!!!"
I tried to call out for help but it was no use, no one would be in that area especially at night. The werewolf growled and it was trying to attack me. I couldn't think straight, I didn't know what I should do.
"Help me!!! Somebody!!! There's a werewolf in front of me!!!" Without any hesitation, the werewolf growled loudly and jumped towards me, I quickly shut my eyes and turned my head away.
Out of the blue, something inside me came out and electrified the werewolf, it was pushed back so hard and fell on the ground. I looked back and the werewolf was growling in pain, until it was dead.
"What just happened right now?! Did I actually kill him?!" As I was confused, more growling sounds could be heard in the forest. I looked up and saw the full moon completely shone brightly.
Out of nowhere, a bright light shone beneath the forest, the bright light was so strong that it hurt my eyes. I couldn't figure out what was happening around me. I guess more werewolves would come as one of them was dead in front of me.
I quickly got up from the ground and left the forest immediately. I saw some glowing eyes in the dark before I left the area completely.
—------------------------------------------------------
After that shocking encounter with that creepy werewolf, I managed to get back to my area in no time. I could still hear the sounds of werewolves from here. It made my heart skip a beat.
I stopped walking and leaned onto a tree, trying to catch my breath. I was confused tonight. What was happening around me? Who was that old woman? What happened to the werewolf? And what is so fascinating about tonight?
I had so many questions in my mind that were killing me with curiosity. I was about to walk back to my home when I saw something weird next to my house.
I could see some unknown creatures standing in front of someone's house. I closed my eyes a bit to see what those were until I widened in shock. Those were werewolves standing, in a group.
What's more, there was a man standing in front of those werewolves. He looked a bit familiar as I saw his figure before.
Wait a minute? Is that JACK?!!!!
To Be Continued.....
---------------------------
Thanks for reading. Let me know what you think about this first chapter.
Note: The first five chapter will be in either the male character's pov or female character's pov. But after that, it would be only the third person's pov, because I felt like that would be the best pov for the rest of the story.
Your votes make my day, enjoy reading!!!
