(Hannah's Pov)
There I was running and panting. have been running for a while now. I have to keep running am scared and tired. i don't even know or understand what Am running from"
I just knew it was a monster who could somehow talk in my head too like a psychic. When it starts talking in my head and walking from a distance I don't feel scared, which is weird, but I knew I just have to run to save myself. what if it is one of its abilities to make you feel comfortable and succumb to it. The present distance from the Big wolf monster was a bit far, it's size is at least two and half the regular size of the normal wolves we see today in the jungles and zoo.
As I stood there looking unfazed and and only a little scared, which still surprises me how, I made my calculations in my head, "if something like this could exist it must have a lot of hidden moves it can use to hurt someone if one think they were smarter and could win a fight. Even if one does win it is would be with wounds that if not treated fast would be infected or scarred I'm a woman so a scar like that is really a pain like death besides being a professor. which am so popular for as it has garnered me world class reputation and respect among intellects. My watch word and life's principle that have brought me thus far is "with your brain and you can win anything" "it is there for a reason, there is a reason ours also differentiates us from animals". so i calculate that to win that beast it goes beyond the amount of strength i need skills to fight that thing with brain, attack and defense, grit, flexibility and adaptation, coordination that is found only in the best and experienced warriors. who also understand and watch out things are not always as they seem and watch out then comes strength to power it all up.
As I thought about all this in few minutes i realized if i waited anymore I might become that thing's food so I have to capitalize on the distance and momentum now and run like mad and get somewhere to hide preferably a free cave, and run again after I'm well rested make a trap something really heavy to crush the wolf or a trench or cliff for it to fall in or off. I don't know why I always end up mind walking deep into this part of the forest unharmed and i sleep under the tree in the cave when i wake up I always seem to be in a cave that is somehow lit bright red in a mysterious way I don't understand because I tried checking around the cave I couldn't see the source of light maybe there is a little part that the light comes from in an obscure place whose little openingI can't access or see. I'm always waking up under a particular tree in the cave and I feel like I'm missing lots of things but I can't place it. I know there is something wrong somewhere it's unnormal, it is supernatural. I've been thinking the only reason my mind could walk here unharmed it means it's something about me I'm not stupid and I know its not normal and I know the mind is exposed when out of the body, there must be a trick.
Also, i do somethings that surprise me these days I find myself waking in a cave with lightings and writings of the cafe i think I'm a witch, a late bloomer but non the less I just have to learn how to control my powers to not get me killed one way or the other from the forest or from humans.
If something like that could exist I guess those really old stories that we have all ignored all our lives are all true. Those almost dead myth of superior monsters in the inner forests that are aged and have one or two shocking abilities depending on the type of monster , is it the tales of cultivators that would be true, that our world is a cultivation world with mana like in those books, tales of the ancient battlefields, tales of the white wolf Emperor and his Red moon Empress, the vampires, witches and all other whispers. Some things are not worth risking it's better to run and preserve my life like a coward even though I'm not scared but when push comes to shove i still have to run so it's better to do it now when I have the big advantage of long distance to run away as I have left the cave lots of distance back even though I can see still see the entrance of the cave because of the topography of the area. It came from another area of the forest to the entrance of the cafe and was looking straight in my eyes and talking in my head telepathically but I soon realized i can block him out by building a block or fence to block in my mind and I don't know how I did that then i started running like mad. I keep trying to get away from the monster who keeps finding me no matter where i hide and i bolt again as I always planned on not being cornered and I can see the monster from a distance as whenever I choose a hiding spot. I feel we are connected one way or the other. He keeps coming after me, i keeps running it seems like a game even though it doesn't see or know where I'm hiding he always seem to know it instinctively and would come towards my hiding place and I would bolt again.
Like i was the prey and I'm so exhausted of it all. I didn't know what it wants and i didn't want to find out, it's a beast it could only come for my head. 'what bad karma'.
I just run and run till i was at the outskirts of the outer forest and step on the road.
Then i woke up in my bed sweating and scared like someone who just escaped from a bad nightmare.
I yawn and streched my arms and body after i recollected her thoughts a while and pats the bed to find her lover, Max.
He is kind of mysterious, but not in a bad way, he is nice and kind especially to me and harsh towards anyone that comes against me or his loved ones. I've seen it before . she actually feel kind of safe, and connected with him like they were meant to be. I actually feel thankful to him, he saved me when i was in trouble and he has also helped me here and there everytime since then.
We have been close and she fell for me 'hard', he was caring only to me. He was rich, a hardworker,
Everything told me everything he owned, he earned by his self, his own accord and strength. A smile creeps to my lips, He is so strong he can take a few guys out in seconds, on certain occasion that he helped me beat some gangsters, skilled gang assassin's and the rest he's the only person that got my back, he helps me anyway he can, he's real with me and has gone out of his way to make me understand countless times.
As i stood up, i just knew he was in the garden. I don't know how I knew but I just feel him there. so I went to find him. As I walked into the garden, I saw the sight of my handsome man in the early morning sun, he was stunning. Like Adonis in the morning sun. He stood just standing in the garden seem like something was on his mind. He didn't see me walk to him, which was strange in it self. He normally could sense if I'm around, or if there is trouble near but he couldn't sense me. He didn't know I was there for the next five to ten minutes, it seems he was thinking about something important that took his attention away, what could it be 'I wondered'.
As I got to him I wispered in his ear and hug him tight, he just stood there and enjoyed the sensation. He said, Hannah it's you 'in his coarse voice' how was your sleep, I didn't want to disturb you and I was enjoying the cool fresh morning breeze and the view.
I could tell had something on his mind that was bothering him, I know him, he is my man and because of the connection we share, I could feel it. And I could say I know him better than anyone. What's wrong? I asked. it was nothing. He said
But I don't believe him maybe it's about the mysterious part of him he didn't want to tell anyone but i knew deep in my heart that he is real and true to her.
But with a secret like that it could only cause problem later in the relationship, but I loved him, because I fell for this man and if not because of anything he has showned me over and over again that's he's the one.
Once he used his arm to block a gangster knife which stab him only a little through the hand while another hit me on the head with his bat, but before he could get his placing well Max had already pulled him to the alleyway and the others followed their boss who was being pulled, maybe because he didn't want to scar me with how he took care of them. You should have seen them they couldn't get away without loosing some body. I just heard screams and I saw them crawl away slowly while cursing.
My eyes was almost closed at that point and I fainted because I was already hit with the blunt force of the gangster attacks but I could still hear a bit and make up the surrounding, I woke up in the hospital I think he carried me there. Anytime I asked him how he learnt to fight like that and do all that to the gangsters and assassin's, who was he, his family and things about him, he just told me he was self-taught and doesn't answer any of my questions again.
He just says when the time is right I would know, so mysterious. I was scared the in the beginning when we first met.
But after everything he act like his life's mission is to protect me (smiles), I find it hard to stay angry at him when he's like that. The only thing he says is " I just have to protect you till a particular time and you would not need it anymore and you would know everything then."
I don't know what he means by that but anytime he does that I'm always pissed off, It just sounds like he does not care about me.
I have pushed him away lot and lots of time in the beginning but despite everything I've done to him he didn't leave me, I called him a creep, I slapped him but he's still with me, guiding and protecting me like my guardian angel.
Even though I'm still not sure about what he's hiding but I still know and feel in my gut that I can trust him, I can feel it in me that he got me any day, any time, anywhere. And I love him a lot too.
"Didn't know you were awake my love, I did not want to wake you up. I have some thinking and meditation to do that's why an came out here in the garden."
I knew it was half truth and half lie, the thinking he was doing nothing but the meditation lies. I can see worry, anxiety and a little bit of happiness on his face and I can feel it.
Because I knew him, he's been my man for a while and I could feel it from the connection we share. I don't know much about it but it's part of the things that makes me curious. I was thinking what if it was connected to that part of me, that monster, that white wolf chasing me in my dreams.
Why I'm so important that assassin's and gangsters have been coming after me since I was young and the monster always coming after me in my dreams.
Am a very smart woman, a professor of History at the university of Michigan, i have done so many projects and I lecture.
I can piece it all together but it's all not connecting, it doesn't feels right maybe something is missing I don't know what but I have never made my suspicion known.
And the question why has he stuck around, protected me all these years, and even choose me as the love of his life is still there . Also the question of "what secrets he is keeping from me,what is about him , why is he so mysterious, why do we feel connected. The connection feels ancient and old like it's not new, like it has been there for a long time, why does he make it his duty to protect me.
Why does he keep telling me to wait till later to find out.
Everything smells so fishy and i want to get to the end of it.
I pride myself as the greatest detective to ever exist, I have to get to the bottom of it all.
