Playmate (4)

"I am sorry that you have to go home alone." Ms. Sue apologized for the third time.

"No, it's okay, I'm fine." she said while she started the car.

Ms. Sue is just looking at her with a worried expression.

Currently, they are in the city hall parking lot. Nida finished her tasks this afternoon, but she chose to accompany Ms. Sue on her work trip, driving her around the city to where he needed to meet with various work-related people.

Until the night comes, and Ms. Sue is not done yet, but soon after her boyfriend comes to pick her up. She is not needed anymore since her boyfriend has his car.

Ms. Sue feels bad about letting Nida go home alone after she spends her time accompanying her.

Ms. Sue thanked and apologized to her multiple times before she could go.

It's already 10 o'clock in the evening and some roads are a little darker. She feels a little creepy. That is why she drives the company car faster.

"Huh?" She confusedly slows down the car when she passes the accident site, then decides to stop for awhile.

"Why is there no guard here?"

She parked the car at the side of the road and walked towards their trailer van.

"They are supposed to have lights here. What if the trailer part is stolen too." She pulled out her phone from her pouch and decided to call the maintenance department.

As far as she knew, the trailer tractor would be towed tomorrow. They were supposed to guard the trailer until then.

Hmmm?

He paused for a moment because she thought she stepped into something.

She switched on her phone's flashlight, then lit up the one under her feet.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

She screamed, then stumbled and fell.

"c-coooorpse!"

She covered her mouth upon realizing that she shouldn't be shouting at the time like this.

The people who shout a lot in horror movies are mostly the ones who die first.

She hurriedly closed her flashlight and crawled toward the car, but she bumped into something in front.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

She looked up and the thing she feared the most appeared in front of her.

The place is dark and the cloudy night sky doesn't help at all.

"W-why?" she wondered, having previously assumed that werewolves only appeared at full moon.

'The moon is not even showing up tonight, but why is a werewolf here?'

Her whole body trembles in fear as she tries to look for a way to escape.

"Why?" the hulking creature repeated her words.

"You can talk?" she asked once more.

Strangely, the supposed oversized crazed creature loosens up his stance and crosses his arms.

"What do you think the use of my mouth?" The surprisingly rational werewolf talked smugly to her, but that didn't lessen her fears at all; it made her mind into chaos.

"You seem afraid, but the way you reacted shows it's not your first time seeing a werewolf." The wolf had an evil smile on his face that made her cower, but since the wolf was distracted by his thoughts, she took the chance to run toward the car.

The werewolf just watched her desperate run towards the car, but once she almost reached the car...

swwwooossshhhh bam!

He grabbed the car and swung it far enough away from them that it landed upside down.

"Do you think you can escape after seeing this much?"

She didn't respond and only thought of ways to escape.

She slowly stepped backwards, then decided to run at full speed.

She knew that it was useless since he could run after her easily. She just closed her eyes and desperately ran.

"Enough with the playing!" The werewolf shouted as he raised his hands and showed off his sharp claws.

She looked behind her and could clearly see the wolf's sharp claws directed at her.

Her eyes widen when she suddenly trips. She regrets wearing high heels for the first time. Then she twisted her body so that her back was the one to fall first. But it only made her see the claws that were about to pierce her.

She closed her eyes and stretched out her arms, hoping it would shield her from the werewolf attacks.

"Bitch! You're a priestess!" The werewolf shouted.

Nida fell on her back and lay flat on the ground. She still held her arms up since she could feel something heavy above her hands, but nothing she could feel was touching it.

She is relieved that the claws haven't sliced her up yet, since she doesn't feel any pain, except for her back.

She slowly opens her eyes and is surprised by her current situation.

"Let go!" The werewolf shouted while he tried to pull out his claws that were stuck on the silver dust shield that was releasing from his hands.

Thousands or millions of pieces of dust are reappearing on her hands, forming a solid shield once the dust has compressed each other together.

The werewolf is standing above the silver dust shield. That is why she could feel its weight, but weirdly, she had the strength to keep the shield and the werewolf up.

She looks around at her arms that are glowing with silver dust.

"What is happening?" she mumbled. "Am I not human?"

"What? Hey priestess, let go of me or else I will burn your useless heart!" He shouted as he hardened his muscles and started to slam the shield with his other hand.

Nida panicked and tried to stand up. That made the werewolf hang himself on the silver dust shield since his claws were still stuck.

"What to do, what to do, what to do." She hysterically looked for a way to use the silver dust on her arms. But before she could do anything, the werewolf punched the shield with all his strength, and it started to crumble.

The werewolf grins at her, looking as if he had finally can kill her.

Nida hurriedly grabbed the dust that was flying into the air and threw it directly at the werewolf's eyes.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The werewolf screamed loudly and rubbed his eyes like he was in excruciating pain.

She hurriedly ran towards the trailer van and ran inside of it to hide.

She looks at her arms that are starting to lose their glow.

"No! No! Shield! I need another shield!" she shouted as she tried to release the silver dust once more, but it little by little faded away.

She ran into the corner of the van to hide.

The inside of the van was dark, but she could feel that his feet were stepping on something she hated the most: corpses.

Once she reached the innermost corner, she hurriedly pulled out her phone and looked for someone to call for help.

Ring Ring Ring Ring

She was startled by the sudden call from her friend, but it gave her hope.

[Toto is a senior police officer. He can help me!]

Despite having shaky hands, she managed to press the answer button.

"Hello? This toto, sorry to call you this late. " She

felt relieved to hear someone else's voice.

"What's wrong nida?"

"H-Help me, Help me!" Nida is whispering over her phone.

She could not hear the whimper of the werewolf. He might have recovered really fast.

"Where are you? I'll rush over"

"I'm inside our wing van" still whispering. She wanted to tell Toto to hurry.

"wing van? at the site? why?"

aaawwwwwoooooooooooooo

Nida flinched once she heard the werewolf's sudden howling.

"I get it, stay calm and I'll be there."

"Please hurry, he is comi— aaaaaah!" She let go of her phone due to shock.

The dark trailer van became a little bit brighter because the roof was suddenly gone, and the werewolf was standing at the edge of the trailer van sniffing the area. His vision was impaired due to the silver dust that Nida had thrown.

She looked up then moved her hands to pick up her phone, but she touched something else.

"Huh? Marble?" She looked into it, then threw it at the side since it was nothing important, but the wolf screamed in pain after she threw the blue marble.

"You have my core? HOW DARE YOU!" he furiously shouted.

"core?" She returned her gaze to the marble that had rolled back to her after it bounced where she had thrown it.

[Didn't Daniel say something about werewolves' core?]

She picked up the blue marble and smashed it into the floor multiple times. It brings pain to the werewolf that he keeps screaming and cursing at her, but the marble is not breaking and remains intact.

[How can this possibly kill him?]

She looked at the marble, then at the werewolf in pain.

She opened her mouth and hesitated if she was doing it right or not, but continued to swallow the golf ball-sized marble.

Boom, boom, boom

Her heart suddenly beats faster.

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO

She held her chest and looked at the wolf who was suddenly loudly howling.

"He is turning into dust?"

The wolf made its final holy howl until he turned into dust.

The van became quiet again, but not her heart.

She staggers out of the van and walks back to the road to wait for Toto to come and pick her up, but her vision is becoming foggy and she's losing her strength.

She fell and lay on the quiet, dark road.

"No one will save me again?" she asked herself as her eyes became heavy and she slowly lost consciousness

.. . . .... . .

"Hmm? I'm floating?" She said this while looking down.

Nida looked around the area while floating into the air.

She can see the dark place where he met the werewolf.

The upside-down company car that the werewolf threw away is still there, and the dust remains from the werewolf. 

She looked at her arms and body that were surrounded by silver dust. She glows in the dark like a firefly. 

"How did I control this again?" She tried to control and move the dust off her body. 

oh my goodness!

But then she let out a short gasp.

After she managed to move the dust off her body, there was nothing inside of it.

"Did I die? Am I a ghost?"

Strangely, she can feel her body, but why can't she see it?

The dust slowly disappeared around her and the entire area became dark again.

She moved her hands and tried to touch her chest and face.

Then she raised her hands to look at it, but there was nothing.

"I do have a body! I can feel it! Why can't I see it?"

She squinted her eyes to look for clues around the dark place about how she turned like this.

"Is it because of the marble?"

"Nida!" She instantly smiled and turned around, familiar with the voice.

"Toto!" She happily walked towards him, but he passed through her. He literally passed through her body.

"What? Did I really die? Hey Toto! Can't you see me? " She ran after him, but she froze what she saw after.

"That's my body."

She looked at her cold body lying on the ground.

"W-what the?"
