The Wolf In Me novel Chapter 29

Lylah's POV

Nelly was by the window watching the dramatic fighting and sometimes I could hear her whisper something and raise her hand.

"How's it going down there?" I asked startling her.

"Oh, you scared me there for a minute." She chuckled, taking two deep breaths. "Don't you need more rest?" She asked smiling at me.

"I think I am doing quite well thanks to you. See? They also removed the ventilator so I can breathe on my own."

I tried to stand up but my body almost collapsed on the floor. Luckily Nelly was fast enough to catch me before I fell.

"Guess not enough to walk," I said giggling.

"That's ok. Keep resting. You are not fully healed yet as I said." She smiled as she moved my last leg back under the bedsheet. "There."

She turned back to look outside. "One vamp at a time. I'm doing all I can to help," She explained.

I was quiet at first then I thought I should help her out. "Kiy, kiy e os ta a aley dea, te do belon to plenne eah. No su no ligh wiy ki te awae, kiy te oe tat a wiut fath," I said repeating again and again.

"No Lylah, you are not ready yet," she said angrily, frowning at me.

I ignored her and carried on, trying to hold on as much as my body could. As soon as she figured out I wouldn't stop chanting the spell, she hurried by my side, took my already open arms and she started to chant with me. We kept at it until my body felt too weak to continue.

"I can't... I can't," I said breathlessly.

I knew I did all I could but I felt bad for not being able to help any more than I already have.

"You have done the best you could. It's fine. I can continue what you have started. Now rest".

I closed my eyes and rested my head on the pillow and was drifted into a dream of terror and fear.

My sister witch, Katherine and I were running in the deep forest both wearing a long white dress that was all dirty with soil. We couldn't stop running. Something was chasing us but I couldn't look back as that would mean that I would slow down and might get caught. It was dark and at times we almost tripped into things.

"Run Lylah, run as fast as you can. It's right behind us."

I did as I was told and even though I was feeling breathless and my heart was beating out of my chest, my legs didn't stop.

"What is chasing us? I want to know Kathy," I said looking forward, avoiding a tree.

"It's them again. Foul creatures."

Suddenly Kathrine was pulled back with a scream and like that she was gone.

"No, no, no, no, no, hell no, damn."

Tears were wetting my cheeks as I kept pushing myself further, hoping to find a place to hide into. There it was. A large house right in front of me. I ran towards its door and noticed it was half open so I wasted no time and rushed in and closed the door and locked it.

I heard a lot of thumping and scratching for a while, then it was all gone..so quiet now. I pushed myself away from the door trying to catch my breath back as I started walking around the house. It was all dark. With no light at all, I entered the first room which looked like it was the kitchen. I held both my hands on the table looking down at it thinking about Katherine.

"Why her? Why is she gone?"

I started sobbing and talking to myself but the pain couldn't fade away. It was too late for her but not too late for me. I was determined to survive and now I was looking up and out of the window when I saw it staring at me with its yellow eyes.

With panic, I walked backwards hitting a blue vase which hit the ground and broke into a million pieces making a loud sound. I wasted no time in finding a place to hide. I crouched between the bathtub and the wall hoping that I chose the best spot.

Two yellow eyes entered the bathroom sniffing and growling low turning its head from left to right. It moved further in and got closer to the bathtub. My heart was beating so fast that I could hear it clearly without any effort. I had nowhere to go now. If it sees me, I'm done. Suddenly it managed to lock eyes with mine from a small crack. Damn. I am dead. I closed my eyes and found myself back at the hospital in bed with Nelly looking at me.
