When you love someone you protect them at all cost
What are you scared of?, It's just a cold night
She asked, looking up at me as she held my hand. I could feel her warmth sending tingling sensations running through my veins.
It was indeed a could night, the wind didn't resist the urge to send slaps across my face. My lips were as dry as the sahara desert and my nostrils were filled with fairy dust. I couldn't smell anything except her lily perfume whose taste lingered on my lips.
Myself Lara, I don't know but I feel rather uneasy, like something is calling out to me. You shouldn't be here with me.
I could feel her little hand tighten around mine, then she stopped to face me squarely, her small frame blocking out everything else. I looked searchingly into her eyes, who could resist this priceless jewel that was staring back at me.
A sheepish smile drew across her face revealing perfectly placed dimples. She was beautiful, if I hadn't seen my mother's photos i would have said that she was the most beautiful girl in the world.
But this night she indeed was and the way the full moon shone it's light directly on her like a theater's spotlight showed agreement. Warm hands found my face and I held on to them.
You're special Michael, I know it with all my heart, there's no way you can hurt me.
I saw certainly in her eyes, same one I saw when I was about to make that last basket during the NCAA college basketball final. It was unmistakable and it always gave me the courage to go the extra mile.
I kissed her...by the light of the moon
This kiss felt different, it was slow and more passionate than the first time, it felt natural, water and air. This time her lips tasted like strawberries and it's wetness immediately brought my dry lips back to life.
She kissed me too...her lower lip found my upper lip and her tongue reached out to me for help and my lips rescued the damsel in distress. I could feel the air in my lungs leave me, I was breathing her instead, I couldn't feel more alive.
Lara, I....love yo...........ahhhhh!!!!
The bone around my back twisted violently. Lara moved some steps away in shock, hands covering her mouth, her eyes showed terror. It was horrific, and yet so familiar.
The socket that joined my leg with my thighs threatened to pull off. I fell on my knees covering my face, as every bone in my body started to expand in very violent and unforgiving horror.
I could hear her screams now, they sounded like my favorite classical song, loud and soothing. I roared in pain and the love I just felt turned into rage as my legs and whole body started to change form.
My ears started to expand and I could feel long fangs start to form in places where my teeth stood. The pores around my skin started to bring forth hairs, all over my body.
Mich-ha-el??
Was all the words she could mutter. This time she was shivering and tried to come close to me to atleast feel me and let me know that it was going to be ok, but then sharp talons gave way almost immediately. I heard loud screams again.
Amidst all this agony, I caught a glimpse of her standing directly under the moon and for a second, time slowed.
When you love someone you protect them at all cost
Nana's last words echoed in my head
At that moment, flashes of all the amazing moments I and Lara had shared together ran through my mind, and a hot tear escaped it's prison and raced down my cheek.
RUN! LARA, RUNNNN!!!!!!
This is my entry for this week's Inkwell prompt in collaboration with dreemport.
if you enjoyed reading this, I invite you to drop a comment I'll be glad to reply
Here wolf! Wait, where wolf? lol
Beautiful storyline @chincoculbert! Excellent sourcing!
Couple of typos here for you:
"It was indeed a could night, the wind" maybe a "cold" night?
"I saw certainly in her eyes, same one I saw" should be "certainty?"
"atleast feel me" Missed a space lol!
the rest is all good, nice! Keep at it, you're a good writer!
This post was obtained through Dreemport.
I really appreciate your comment @jamerussell , comments like this really inspire me to do more.
Thanks for picking out those typos, I'll be sure to proof read before I post from now on.
Its a process, I'm getting there thanks to you all support.
Glad you stopped by my friend ❤️✅
Certainly a story already told, achieved in its rewriting in a happy way. the credit is that you achieve in an unexpected plot twist. Well done.
Sure .they're a lot of werewolf stories under the full moon. Glad you found this one worthy to read and drop a Comment on. Really appreciate you @joalheal ❤️✅
Wow, I think this is the second werewolf story I've read in The Ink Well this week. I should have expected it, based on the prompt.
Your description of his transformation is magnificent and frightening! Well done.
Lol, that's what comes with thoughts of the moon, hehe. The werewolf tale has indeed taken our interests.
I'm glad you think so @jayna . Thanks a lot for the warm comment, really appreciate it ❤️✅
That last line is great:
The tear escapes its prison, but we know that your narrator is in a prison. He is no longer himself, nor is he in control of himself. He has one last free impulse, which escapes with the tear: Save Lara
Thank you for sharing this story with the Ink Well community. Have you commented on the stories of two other writers in the community? Thank you!
Exactly, you get it all and you put it in the best kind of words. His one impulse was to save her in any way possible.
Thank you for dropping by and dropping a Comment ..yes I have! . They were amazing stories, had fun reading them.
You're welcome! ❤️✅
Oh my goodness!!! All these in just one scene of a romantic couple? You are amazing @chincoculbert i love this story.
But what I'm trying to understand is if Michael is a beast or something 😬 Lara is surely terrified from your description.
This part got me smiling and laughing though 😂 Oga, you are too good with words... I'm suspecting you 🙄
Lovely entry, all the best with the challenge... It's really nice to have you join us at @dreemport 🙂
A lot can happen in just one scene especially if you're standing Under The Moon. Don't make me blush @merit.ahama , you're amazing too. Thank you ❤️.
Funny but even I can't understand it myself too. Is he a beast or something?, I wish I knew. Lara is indeed terrified, if it was you wouldn't you be?.
😂😂😂, No do make I laugh o, which one be say you dey suspect me ehhh.. im as innocent as the lamb itself.
Thanks my dear, I'm glad you came around. Have you dropped yours?..I know say you no dey waste time 😊✅
You are free to blush, because you are really amazing 😊
Terrified ke, I will even carry big wood and hit him back to himself 😑
Na here the suspicion start self, innocent ke 🤣
I dey waste time now o
Still yet to get what to write for my entry self
Thanks a lot dear 😊, you have succeeded in making me blush like mumu.
Osheyy!, Iron lady..be like you never encounter monster before ,😂😂😂
😂😂 You no go ki me with laff. I don't know what you're thinking.
Ohh that's quite unlike you. You sure say you dey alright?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don laugh tire o
I don't know what's doing me o but I will try to make an entry before deadline sha
who are you Michael? Are you one of those bloodthirsty monsters, or are you just one of those zombies?
I don't even know what I am, I could be any of all that but then you'll have to find out for yourself @mosin-nagant
So, from now on, be prepared to face us, the hunters. We are the last bastion against the attacks of creatures like you @chincoculbert
Hehe, I'm looking forward to that hunt. It's surely going to be fun @mosin-nagant . I just hope there's a lot of you guys though
Oh, I didn't see that coming. Was taken by the romantic scene, I'm not sure who was more surprised, me or Lara. haha
The beauty and the beast?
Well, whatever he is, that was a nice and interesting story to read! Well done. 😁
Haha, I guess I was more surprised though. I didn't even see this coming myself.
Certainly felt like my dear. Thanks for your nice comment ❤️✅
Yeah very horrifying. She surely must have gotten the shock of her life with this one
