The big bad wolf

==Matteo==

I laid stiff like a corpse, staring blankly. Then, her cry reached my ears. I widened my eyes.

The cry. It reflected pain, hurt, distress. Fuck. I thought of raising, but then, I knew better. So. I closed my eyes, trying to stay focused in order to pinpoint the issue. A surge of energy flooded into my head, and her emotions reached me. I could feel it all: the fright in her voice, her pulsating heart, the dryness around the throat, the sweat. I could sense her perplexity. Olivia… My Olivia is in trouble. She was in trouble and here was I, struggling with this thing that emasculated me.

I tried all I could to get up, but my strength had faded.

The window was far away, at the other end of the room. Meaning that I had to walk—crawl several inches before I could reach there and get the moonlight to hit me. Ah fuck. I groaned. Shutting my eyes, I gathered courage. This was gonna hurt. A hell lot.
