She was so engrossed in running that she completely forgot to look in which direction she was running. She even thought she was running eternally when perhaps she had been running for more than half an hour. The roads started to become more slippery beneath her feet, the weather more cool and the entire surroundings more dark. No birds were at all chirping near her. Some kind of undesired silence ruled over the atmosphere.
Suddenly a large bat flied over her head. She screamed aloud "aaaahhh" and ducked her head to avoid it. It was still following after her.
The swinging of its wings could be heard. And the cool breeze flown due to its flapping came straight on her face. She thought no escape for her. May be this the end.
But before that she had tried hard to ditch the attacker next to her. So she increased her speed more and more. Now her legs hurt in throbbing pain and injured by thrones and boulders of the road, her hands were injured with bruises and bloody, her heart was pounding loud in her chest and her eyes were coming out of their respective eye sockets; but she had to run as fast as possible. She run into a pond area and stopped in her track at once.
She ducked into a bush just near the pond-side. She peeped into the pond area where a boy was swimming and hamming happily. His tunes were unfamiliar yet sweet. He at first dived deep and then, with a splash, emerged from the water at the very next moment. Her eyes looked at him as if he hypnothesized her. He was swimming fast from one side of the pond to the other. A half moon on sky threw dim light on his figure where she saw strong torso, six pack abs, oval face, strong cheek-bones, double chin, big grey eyes, very fair complexion, wavy black hair, purely athletic body, small hips and strong long legs of that stranger boy.
He came out of the water happily at the very next moment. By uttering "Oh my God" Roma closed her eyes tightly. Her breath catched in her chest and butterflies fluttered allover her stomach. That boy was stark naked. Not a single cloth was on him.
All of a sudden his eyes fall on her face and within a second with a firece speed he came dangerlously close to her.
"Who are you?" She heard a low deep husky growl in his voice.
She stopped dead in her track for a second. And then stammered to him - "I amm losttt."
He narrowed his eyes in suspicision. "Come out at once." He demanded.
"I can't." She closed her eyes horriedly.
"Why?" Another growl came in her ears.
"Please Sir, put on some clothes." She replied to him more timidly than before.
Later sitting in a cave she described her whole experience to him. Her guts told her to trust this handsome stranger boy. He listened patiently and after hearing every single details told her coldly - "So you already Alexander, the Vampire and Cassandra, the killer Siren."
Roma opened her mouth agape like a fish. She could not comprehend what he was talking to her. She asked more modestly - "Who you are?"
He, by simply shrugging his shoulders, stretched his right hand to her - "I am Nick. Nicholus. And I am a werewolf." To prove his point he let out a loud growl from mouth.
"Aaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
She looked at him in shock. First a Vampire, then a Siren, now a Werewolf??!!! What would happen to her if she lived in this forbidden garden for three days? God knows what kind of adventures was still awaiting for her.
"Where will I go now at this dead of night??!!!" She asks him.
He seemed so certain of himself. "You may stay in this cave."
"Here??!!!" She asked him.
"Don't panic. I am quite harmless." He coldly informed her indifferently.
What to he mean by harmless??!!! She seemed to lost in thought when he get up and lighted the fire.
Roma felt hot and her eyes roamed here and there to find a place where she could change her clothes.
"What are you trying to discover??!!!" He more timidly asked him.
"A place to change." She murmured softly.
He indicated a bush to the far end - "There".
By telling "Okay" she got up to change but then suddenly realized that she did not have any spare clothes with her. Her cheeks got red immediately in humiliation and she lowered her heads to hide that from the stranger.
"Now, what happened??!!" He asked her.
"I don't have any clothes." She told him more timidly.
He looked at her in interest. She looked more shameful.
"Then change into nothing." He said more placidly.
"What??!!" She screamed.
"Don't worry. You may sleep there and I sleep here." He said to her.
"Uhhmmm" She seemed to be dubious.
"Don't panic. I am in mood of touching you. Except if you insist me to touch you." He winked at her.
She closed her eyes in shame. This boy seemed more matured than the vampire boy; but he also was a big flirt.
She went into the bushes and changed into her lingerie and slept on the other side of the cave by covering herself into a sleeping bag.
For some times she tried to look whether he was noticing her or not and when she was convinced that he was fast asleep, she let out a sigh and fell instantly asleep.
Nicholus was still awake. He was very much interested in her deeply. That girl could be an excellent mate to him. He felt an instant attraction to her. When she was fast asleep, he leaned on her and gave a quick peck on her lips instantly. Her lips felt so soft to him but he controlled himself. He would wait for her consent first till end.
