The Wakaani

Chapter 2

Now to continue where we left off. I didn't make it into the months hunting party, though I'm pretty sure I won my fight. I get angrier and angrier the more I think about it, and without delay I make my way to the village chief's house. in a fit of rage I barge in and guess who I see with the village chief, my mother.

I immediately know what's up, my mother looks at me and I look back at her.

" You had no right " I scream with all the strength I can muster.

" Yes I do, I'm your mother and I know what's best for you, you should act more ladylike and stop this tomboyish behavior ",

she replied.

then to my regret I say something I shouldn't have.

I would tell you what it is but I'm too ashamed to say it a second time. i regret saying what I said to her but I'm not about to apologize if she doesn't apologize first. I run out the chiefs house with enough tears in my eyes to literally make a river, I can't clearly see where I'm even going but I know I just want to get away from them, people who think they can control every aspect of my life because I'm a girl. And I know you're asking " why should I care that you feel this way ?, you're not the only one who experience's this type of thing, why should the world stop because you're angry at it ? ". well, it shouldn't.

As I run away, not really sure where I'm going at this point. I run into isol, the guy from before.

he asks " what's wrong Lilith, why are you crying ", OMG he knows my name, now I know this isn't the time to be fan girling over this hunk of meat but would you really blame me. I just had an epic I've had enough of your b@#£shit argument with my mom and I'm currently looking for someone to give me emotional validation, so it's just my luck that it's him.

We chat for a bit and he asks if I'd like to hangout with him for a while to get my mind off things, " F@#k yes ", but I say it in a proper ladylike manner.

" thanks, I'd like that ", as he takes my hand in a very firm and comforting manner, it feels like something is flying around in my stomach. we make our way to the local tavern.

" hope you don't mind me getting you a cup of beer "

it's not my first rodeo with beer, I can handle it, I think.

we talk for what seems like hours I notice someone approaching our table, it's a friend of his, cept, and he has a mean look in his eyes.

he tells isol about a scouting operation they have in a few minutes.

scouting operations being another system we use in our hunting strategy to identify the best possible routes and grounds for hunting.

isol looks at me and asks that we meet up later, though I like the idea of meeting up later, I think to myself, " this is the perfect opportunity to join a party and prove my worth ".

I try to convince him to let me tag along, but cept's not liking the idea and that's okay cause I don't like him either, he has a weird face. isol finally buys the idea but cept doesn't like it and who cares what he likes and doesn't, again, I don't like him.

we rendezvous with the rest of the scouts and isol introduces me to them.

" this is luvera, ace, kasim, feebs, Gideon, sara and you've already met cept ", and yes I've already met cept, still don't like him. we exchange pleasantries and make our way to the village gate, while isol and Gideon go to get instructions from the village chief. after a bit they come back with the instructions and we set off, and I'm excited as f@#k to finally go on what I think is an adventure.

we set off on horse back and after forty minutes since exiting the village, we get to mount krik, from which we'll make our way to the designated route. we get down the mountain and feebs suggests we take a short cut through the woods to get to the route a few hours ahead of time, everyone except isol seems to agree with this, so we take the short cut.

as we navigate through the woods, we stop for a short break, cause feebs couldn't choose a better time to move his bowels. so while he is sh*thing our time away, we're chatting and snacking.

then we hear it, what sounds like a short and painful scream, the horses are scared and we're also scared, atleast that's what I think. Gideon calls for feeb and asks that he stop with the jokes, he sits back down and continues to eat. the horses run off and at the corner of my eye, I see it.

A very tall man standing behind a tree with what seems like a dead animal in his hand. I'm scared, obviously, but as I look closer, this dead animal starts to look alot like a human.

" Dear God, feebs "

Sara screams, " oh my God, it's feebs "

everyone turns around to witness what they would wish is a nightmare.

" it's a Wakani, it's a f@#king Wakani " says luvera.

" what is a Wakani doing here, this isn't a known territory of theirs " replies isol.

I know for a fact what happens to people the Wakaani catch on their territory and I'm about to get the first hand experience.

it's cracked grey skin, muscular body, full mane and dim red eyes, it drops feebs lifeless body to the ground and starts walking towards us.

" run " says isol, " run as fast as you can ". and without a second thought we start to run, but it's faster, in a matter of seconds it catches up to us and I wish I can forget what follows.

Sara's head is separated from her body and holy f@#k she's still screaming, I didn't know her that long but I have to wonder how she can scream so loud without her body and lungs. my heart's racing and before I know it this thing is upon me, I know I'm dead though I wish otherwise. I start to regret my earlier decision of disobeying my mothers instructions, of all the times to be disobedient and it leads to my death.

I watch as it raises it's hand to skewer me alive, but isol pushes me out of the way but he loses a chunk of his stomach. I'm horrified to see his wet parts falling out, he is laying dead in my arms.

" F@#k " were the words that left my mouth, the others try to use the opportunity to escape, but it roars with an intensity that does not permit movement. we know we're screwed, it comes up to me and suddenly stops, then backs away.

I hear a low growl behind me and as I turn around I can't believe my eyes, Holy F@#k it's a werewolf.
