Chereads / The Last Moonborn / Chapter 6 - The wolf in his mind

Chapter 6 - The wolf in his mind

Ethan stood up from the bed, sweat still dripping all over his body, the last words of the black wolf was incredibly haunting.

" You are my host,"

Ethan released a breath of hot air, as he walked towards the bathroom. Maybe a cold shower would help him calm down and forget about that weird dream.

As he got into the bathroom, Ethan took his toothbrush and was about to begin to brush his teeth. As he turned on the tap, water didn't come out.

" Damn it, I just fixed this stupid thing yesterday!" Ethan was annoyed at the fact that the tap had stopped working again.

Wanting to vent his anger, Ethan punched the ceramic sink.

* Boom!*

The moment his fist hit the sink, Ethan's mind was already telling him that he was going to break his fist. But the moment his fist landed on the sink, it completely broke into pieces! 

Ethan seeing himself break a ceramic object just like that, was incredibly surprising. It was so suprising that he immediately got scared.

" Holy shit! What was that?" Ethan said, as he took three steps back, and stared at the broken pieces of the sink on the ground, it wasn't due to a hammer but his own fist. His own fist filled with flesh, blood and weak bones.

*Huff*

*Puff*

*Huff*

*Puff*

Ethan was breathing heavily, his mind was racing with a lot of questions, his body was soaked in more sweat. If anyone looked close enough, it would almost look like he peed on himself.

Ethan then suddenly began to feel something in his hands, as he raised his hands up to eye level, Ethan was even more shocked.

His finger nails were no longer regular finger nails, they began to elongate ( grow). They grew and became like ghastly strong claws that shouldn't even belong to a lion.

Then everything that happened yesterday started flooding back to him. The Ai called A1, the tunnel leading to the abandoned lab, the pugent smell, the cabinets, the mysterious log book and the black... blood.

Recalling all of that Ethan's head began spinning, his surroundings began to blur, and in a few more seconds, Ethan fainted.

As Ethan fainted, a purple light flew out of his head then the purple light began to enlarge, as it kept on enlarging, the purple light began to take form, it began to take the form of a creature, specifically a wolf.

A second later, the purple light had now become a huge black wolf. It was the same black wolf that Ethan saw in his dreams. It then stared at Ethan weirdly.

" Awh damnit. I promised myself to eat a human the next time I see one. I've missed their taste. Sigh, I guess I have no choice but to leave you alone." The black wolf said, as it continued.

"Since you're now my host, there's no reason for me to kill you, I'm just going to kill myself since your body now host's me," The wolf said, as it transformed back into a purple light and flew back into Ethan's head.

....

After a while, Ethan woke up, as he woke up, the first thing he did was to look at his hands, seeing no claws, Ethan stared around the bathroom, and when his eyes met with the broken pieces of the sink still on the ground, Ethan was rendered speechless.

Could he really do these supernatural things now, could he be reacting to the black blood?

Is he powerful now? 

Or was he just turning crazy?

So many questions were rampaging through Ethan's mind all at once, it was overwhelming.

Then he suddenly thought of something, he raised his hands towards eye level, and tried to think about his nails growing, as he was thinking, he closed his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he was met with disappointment, his nails didn't become the claws he was expecting.

Then he stood up and was about to punch the wall to see if he was going to break it," well, here we go,"

*Crack~*

Ethan's fist immediately made a sound that says, your fingers are broken.

Ooouuuchh!

Ethan screamed in pain, as he rubbed his broken hand with his other hand.

" What a fool, how do you expect to use your abilities if you've not even broken through the first stream level?!"

Ethan heard a voice in his head say, and Immediately his whole body stiffened.

" Who said that?" Ethan said with a fearful voice. I mean the guy just heard someone say something from his head, you can't blame him for asking the most dumbest question.

" You truly are a fool," the voice said again, as a purple light began to flow out of Ethan's head.

Seeing a purple light flowing out of his head, Ethan's mind almost exploded in shock. Now there was only one question in his mind.

_ what the hell is happening to me?!_

" something I had been praying for, for a long time. To find a host." The purple light said, as it took the form of a huge black wolf.

"Oh..my..god!" Ethan exclaimed, as he fell to the ground while looking at the huge wolf that he saw in his dreams standing right in front of him. The huge wolf that could kill anything just for the fun of it.

"You look like you just saw a ghost that you've met before," The black wolf said with a smile, though to Ethan it wasn't a smile, it was the huge and sharp fangs of a ferocious predetor wanting to tear his head off.

" Don't worry, I don't want to tear your head off," the wolf said, as if knowing what was on Ethan's mind.

" Y-yo-you- you can hear my thoughts?"Although Ethan was shocked, he could still think straight, almost everything he had said in his mind, the wolf was responding to it.

The wolf stared at Ethan with a strange look," of course I can hear your thoughts, it's not that hard when you live inside someone's mind,"

" Wait! You live in my mind?!"
