Chapter 27

UNKNOWN’S POV

I apparated into the tree,landed on my bed, watched my bones slowly twitching as I transformed into a human..well a young man if you can call me that, although I'm anything but young considering my years of existence on earth.

No one knew of my existence, just extremely few people I guess. And when i say people, I mean the animals in the forests who shiver at my sight although I don't hunt for them.

I am not a werewolf, human, vampire, wolf, skin walker or any common mystical creature at all. Infact, I don't know what I am although my guardian once told me she doesn't know what I am too but I'm on par with the devil itself.

“Isn't the devil wicked?” I had asked her immediately, knowing that I'm anything but wicked. Infact, if not for how scary I look when I transformed, I would have called myself an angel.

“Yes he is, and you can be like him too… that's if you really want to be..”

“I don't want to be like him!” I had shouted back at her immediately, shivers running down my spine as I imagined myself being like the devil.

“Your fragility would only bring you pain, being lenient won't change you either.. you are born to ruin, it's your calling- do not try to push it away” she had said to me but I refused to believe her.

“But why am I different from other creatures?, what's going on with me?” I had asked her the regular unanswered question I grew up asking her and of course, she never answered it as always.

I jolted out of my reverie when I saw her apparated in my room at the speed of a lightning. “What happened to you?!, where did you go?!” she asked looking extremely worried and checking me all over. “It's nothing serious” I replied, trying to fake a smile.

“Did you meet anyone today?” She asked, closely assessing my face. “N-no” I lied, trying to look away but she turned my face towards herself and blurted our laughing after seeing how reddened my face has become.

“D-d-did you just blushed? She asked me, laughing again. “I-I-I-don't know what you're talking about!” I said, trying to hide my reddened face as I remember the encounter I had with the pretty girl in the forests. That was the first time a girl, aside from my guardian would touch me. And what's more surprising? Her touch healed me. I felt waves of energy going into my body when she touched me and if not that I was in my monster form, I would have held her hands and probably asked her some questions or maybe be her friend.

I had wanted to ask her to stay away from me but a soft growl had came out instead, never have I been so embarrassed in my life. Firstly, she saw me in my monster form and secondly, she had touched me. After healing from her touch, I had disappeared into the forests, trying as hard as possible to hide my embarrassed face although I was in my monster form and she couldn't have possibly noticed it.

“HELLOOOOO” her voice brought me back to the moment and my ears reddened after realizing what happened. “Ohh, you didn't meet anyone and you just spaced out in the middle of the discussion?” She asked me accusingly while smiling mischievously.

“N-no it's not true.. I-I-I…”

“Save your excuses for later dear, now tell me where you met her or I'm gonna have to force it out of your throat!” She jokingly threatened and I knew I couldn't hide it from her anymore so I decided to come out clean before her.

“W-well.. I was just playing around in my monster form and-and I got myself injured-”

“By who?” She roared, looking at me with concern.

“Ohh, it's nothing serious- just a rogue werewolf… and I didn't want to fight back so I don't end up killing it-”

“So you got yourself injured by a mere werewolf?” She questioned, visibly annoyed with me.

“A rogue werewolf” I corrected.

“What difference does it makes?!” She yelled again. “ How could you let yourself be intimidated by a mere werewolf that you can easily destroy in the split of a second?” She questioned.

“It's not just a werewolf, it's a ‘rogue werewolf’ and it's not even in its right frame of mind, all rogue werewolves are not’.

“You don't expect me to kill it, do you-?”

“What if it had killed you?, being lenient with these creatures would bring you nothing but pain, believe me”

“As I was saying…” I cut her off and she sighed frustratedly, in defeat. “... I was resting on a tree and i saw them, they were two and I think they are sisters.. I thought they also came to attack me and I growled and came down from the tree, worsening the injuries which bled out more- seeing them shriek back in fear, I realized that they were not a threat to me. So I immediately pretended to be very weak and sprawled out on the ground”

“So what happened thereafter?” She asked, smiling sheepishly.

“Nothing much, I had expected them to run but one of the girls had to volunteer to help me and-”

“And ruined your plans hahahaha..” she interrupted me and erupted with laughter.

“Well..yes, I was already bleeding out so there was nothing much I could do-”

“Did you get to see her face?? She countered

“Y-yes I did-”

“Was she pretty?” she countered again and I became red with embarrassment.

“W-well.. she was beautiful-”

“She kissed you?” She asked with stars in her eyes and my face became so hot that it almost bled out blood.

“No she didn't, she was afraid of me but just summoned courage to move closer to me and I was also in my monster form so there's no way she could have possibly kissed me” I said while blushing.

“Ohhh- I see.. what happened after that?”

“She touched me and we both convulsed as if there's some kind of transaction of energy-”

“Are you serious right now? she asked, her eyes almost bulging out of their sockets.

“Yes I am” I answerd, surprised by her mood swing.

“Like you both convulsed when she touched you and your wounds healed instantly?” She asked again like she was confirming something and I gently nodded my head still wondering what was going on.

“Then she's the…”
