What do you want from me?!” I screamed, clinging to the wall. My heart was unsteady as a result of the speedy run I had taken through the thick forest. I knew I had gotten to my wits’ end when I approached the wall. The creature was relentless as it charged towards me. It got closer and I became more terrified than before. It touched my skin with claws and I cringed, my body vibrating in shock. With its thick and hairy fur, sharp claws, hefty body build, and glowing eyes, there was no doubt that it was a werewolf. If anyone had told me I would be meeting a werewolf in my life, I would have dismissed it as an expensive joke. Then, it spoke to me. “Why are you afraid, Megan? I am simply here to fulfil your wish”. “What wish?” I screamed, spitting on its face aggressively. It didn’t flinch at all. “Your wish to avenge the robbers who stole your father’s gold and protect the community from their terrific presence. I am here to grant your wish”. “How on Earth are you going to do that?” Dangling its head to the right left, it smiled at me. It drew closer to my neckline and all of a sudden, dug its sharp teeth into my skin. I hollered as the pain coursed through my body. I woke up instantly with rivulets of sweat streaming down my face. It was a nightmare! But I still felt the pain from the bite. Stepping down from my bed, I switched on the bed-side lamp and stood before the mirror. It was right there on my neckline.
