Chapter 103
He came closer. I could see him through the branches, sniffing, slightly perplexed. I had smeared mud on myself, dirt, flowers, whatever I got my hands on to hide my scent as I walked, but he’d still managed to pick up a lingering trace of it. Right now, he was wondering how it had suddenly vanished.
Just a little closer, my heart began thudding loudly in my chest. Just back up a few more steps. Just a few more Come on now.
He moved backwards, examining the grass for tracks. This was it. This was my moment. I braced myself and then leaped from the branch, arms spread out, holding my breath. I fell right on top of him as he tried to shift. As his head turned, I jabbed the pen into his eye, temporarily blinding him. He howled, bucking me off. Shit. He turned towards me as I slowly backed away.
I grabbed the branch I had dropped before climbing. I swung it madly, forcing him to say wary.
“Come on, you bastard,” I screamed, my voice filling the air, darkness creeping up on us, “Come on and fight you coward.”
He lunged, changing into his wolf form. I managed to hit him on the head, the branch shattering into two pieces. I flung them down, panting heavily. The pen was on the floor. He tackled me to the ground. My hand scrabbled for the pen. He bit my shoulder hard, causing me to scream in pain, my fingers closing on the ballpoint pen as I writhed and flailed.
He pulls back, swiping across my stomach. I can feel the blood dripping down my body as I tense. He’s eyeing me with malicious intent. I can barely move. I can barely breathe. I hold the pen, hiding it from view. I wait. He sees me weakened. He shifts and grunts.
“You blinded me, you bitch” he hissed, even though it was already beginning to heal.
