Chapter 4:

Together In The Dark

Beasted


Why is it so dark? What has happened? Where am I? My head hurts and I have a slight ringing in my ears. Am I laying on something shaggy? I pat my hands a little around. Suddenly the whole "floor" rose up and down with me. A grunt... I froze at the realization...

Two days prior:
I had a lot to do at home for my job, and couldn’t go anywhere. Frustrated I already felt tired and drained, I should take a walk outside, but I fear meeting the werewolf again. He doesn’t look to be a danger to me, but I should be still warry around that part of the forest, maybe I should change the route. Go much higher, than usual. Take a hike up to the mountain cottage.

That would be a change and for sure I will meet a lot of people on my way there. Werewolves won’t go that close to other people. Also, I should do it, before my period. I won’t be able for a week to go into the nature. Not in that state and in the middle of the deer mating season. For sure would become dangerous for me.

The next day I packed my stuff and out the door I was... The wind was much stronger up here, even with all those tall trees around. It just was the right angle for it,... helping me walk and pushing me uphill on the dirt road. From the pathway, there is the spot, where you could see a rock ledge.

I visited that place several times before. It has a wonderful; dangerous view between the foliage. You could see the mountain range in not so far distance. Since I was here, why not? I started to climb up around the rock. It was steep and I was holding to all, that I could catch into my hands; small rocks, tree roots, or slim trunks. It was kind of slippery, but I never gave up. I am very stubborn until I reach my goal.

Standing up there in the colorful rain of the tree leaves and looking around was my reward. I was happy and satisfied with myself. One of the things, that I am thankful that makes me feel alive. I was hypnotized by the scenery, I didn’t pay attention to the rest. I was once more careless...

Something rustled behind me. I turned to face it and my eyes met his. He spooked me and I made a step backward, he growled. He scared me even more and I made another step into... emptiness? My life ran in front of my eyes and in slow motion, I began to fall. He went into a sprint towards me and stretched out both of his paw/hands and then darkness...

My memory came back, that shaggy thing is... it’s HIM! I laid back,... low. I tried to not move any further and let him sleep and maybe then I could escape. But,... where the heck am I? Laying on his chest, with my eyes adjusted to the darkness; moved them around to pinpoint something I could recognize.

When my ears stopped ringing I could tell I was head-first in some kind of cave. I could hear water dropping from the rocky ceiling, some roots, and vines, dirt floor... My legs were pointing to the entrance, from where the moonlight was a little illuminating this bizarre situation.

Very slowly I lifted my right arm,... leg, put them on the ground, and moved my weight on them. I didn’t want him to wake up. I did it with all success. I sat down to take out a breath of relief as silent as possible. My head cleared and I realized I had fallen from the rock, so shouldn’t I supposed to be hurt?

I mentally checked my body; little wiggled, but I didn’t feel any real pain anywhere, I was just shook. Did he save me? Why? I thought, he wanted to kill me, by showing off his teeth or...? I looked at that sleeping werewolf. What really happened up there?

Instead of searching for an answer, I should rather disappear from here,... from him...
Silently I crawled in the dirt towards the entrance and looked out. Oh, crap! It’s too high! I can tell, there is a little pathway, but in this darkness and slippery leaves, I might fall down. I can’t risk it! Not a second time...

A hand with claws reached over me and grabbed me back inside. Scared I scrambled backwards, until I pushed my back against the wall of that cave. I was doing this pretty often these days. That creature, which was hidding in the dark, stepped out into the moonlight with both eyes shining bright in different colors. He looked right at the moon. His eyes made that light-reflecting shine a canine does, when it meets the light and ready to pounce on his prey.

He could fully see me, I just could tell his shape, eyes, and those snow-white teeth, which were bringing me into tears. Probably he planned to devour me in peace inside of his den. It dawned on me, that this was the reason,... the answer to my question.

He limped closer, I guessed he hurt himself, when he jumped down after me. Kind of felt bad for him and guilty, but I will pay it with my life now. I didn’t protest, this is my fault for going out here, when I knew a beast was lurking in these mountains, I was stupid...

When he reached me I just closed my eyes, I didn’t hide my face anymore,... let him do the deed. I deserved, what was coming for me.

Instead, I heard sniffing sounds on my head, going down my face, neck, chest, belly and he stopped firstly on my left forearm. He licked it and it stung. I think he found a scratch. He continued, as he would checking, if I am not injured... what?

Then he stopped at my crotch and started licking there and smacking his lips like a dog, who's checking a female dog if she is in heat. A very unpleased feeling pushing his muzzle there and the wet feeling coming through my clothes. Tingling from down there filled my body and I felt awkward. My cheeks flushed with blood and redness.

I tried to push him away... gently with my hands. He didn’t want that and grabbed me with both his paws by my hips and dug his nails in to push his way. I yelped out of pain as he did. Immediately he released me out of his grip and retrieved a little back.

I had now ten bloody holes on my sides. Five on each hip. He showed shame and started to whine? Why?
For the next half hour, he stayed on the other side of the cave. I sat there watching him and freezing.

He noticed and slowly came back. I just let him, part of me believed, that he didn’t really intend to hurt me. He laid on his side next to me and looked at the place between his front and back paws holding his bushy tail up. I think I understood what he meant and moved myself to lean on him and then he just covered me with the tail.

It felt warm,... he was nice a warm. He placed his head on his paw/hands and closed his eyes. I did too. I started to drift into the dreamland out of exhaustion mumbling stuff for myself...

"It’s nice to sleep next to someone..."
