A Step Out

"As you may know or not, but every werewolf has a vampire venom in them. You are too like that but due to no effect of venom in you, you stayed a werewolf and there is a reason for that…"

"Betty! Do you know why your father sent you here."

Unbelieving eyes fixed on Douard, he felt hesitant to even continue.

Betty who suddenly lost her last piece of existence, proof which held her apart from others is crumbling down. Piece by piece.

"And?"

She shook her head, but heart, heavy enough to drown deep in the ocean, inside.

A drop of tear tumbled off of her cheeks.

Her face said, to tell her that everything which is happening is not true.

Eyes screaming, to just let her run away and never ever to face this.

"You had no wolf in you too when you were born…"

Betty's eyes grew wide as soon as those fell off.

Her body which was shuddering until now froze.

"W-wha… what are… are you saying?"

"And for that very reason, you were sent here."

'How does he know all this?'

A doubt of distrust sprouted in her.

"Who are you?!!"

She moved back and shouted.

"That's not important now. You should not bother yourself with that. When you return home, your birthplace, you'll find everything from your father. You know? He feels guilty and sad to have you casted away."

'approach!'

'moves back'

"No! How do you know my father? TELL ME who are you?"

Betty couldn't control herself anymore.

'Grrr…'

Wolf inside her rampaged.

She just wanted to fight and fight that truth.

"Calm down!"

Deep reverberating voice fell from Douard and her wolf calmed down into a sleep.

'what?!'

'my wolf'

"What did you do?"

She exclaimed.

'I don't want to do this but you were the first to capture my heart and even imprint. It was a shock for me to find anyone like you.'

"Diana!"

"Grrr."

A shout shook her wolf and submitted to him.

'I… I am fee… feeling dizzy.'

'thud!'

She fell onto the bedside unconscious.

"I promise to be by your side forever, Betty. My first love in these long harsh dry years of my life."

'prophecy right. it does play some fouls to make something else right.'

"Grrr…"

"Oh buddy! Just calm down, Dan. She is asleep."

'My wolf can't see you hurt even in slightest. I am very happy to find you.'

Kissing her in the forehead and covering her body from the cold, he left her tent.

"mother! Do you think we will get really good names tomorrow?"

Geld said, teasing her.

"No! I will give you shitty names."

"There you go trying to be badass."

"Oh! so you want a spank, then huh?! Timothy"

"What a life? Fearing to be spanked. Okay okay I will accept whatever name you give me."

'Even though your soul is of a male, your body is female now. So, your name will be Emma. It's a name I thought of when I used to come up with a name for my future childs if it is a girl.'

"What are you dawdling for?"

"Geld! What type of name do you like?"

"Well! Anything will do. I don't have any preferences for that as long as it suits me."

"Wow! now that's very picky."

"It's none of your business, Timothy. When you are going to get a girl's name to live with you forever, hahahaha!"

"Ugh! What a fate! Why didn't I turn up a boy too?"

"I have thought of your name already."

"Whose?! mine!"

"Yes. Yours. Timothy was my past name so I thought similar would look nice but when I said it out loud it sounded manly."

"Oh I will take that manly name. What's it?"

"Sorry but I don't want to give a girl that name."

"Emma. How's it?"

'Emma! It's my mother's name. Does she know about her? No! How can she? Has Geld told her. But he is with me all the time and I can even hear his soul's monologue. Now it's intriguing.'

"Emma. It's nice."

"Timothy! Don't you think that I have heard that name somewhere else?"

"Geld! You must have had your ears buzzing."

"Is it really related…"

"Now! I know. I remembered. Alene, it's his mother's name. Right, Timothy?"

"Always an annoyance. Yeah it is. But Alene, no mother… How did you come up with that."

"Woow! Is it really your mother's name? I mean .. I am your mother now but was your first mother's name?"

"Yes! How did it occur to you?"

"I don't know!"

'huh! you don't know. Maybe it's awkward but it can turn into a weird co-incident.'

"What are you guys doing shouting late at night?"

Frank appeared.

"Whoa!"

"You scared me. How? Do you have Phd in scaring people?"

"No! It's your noises ringing out in the woods. Who are you talking to? Who's here?"

'peek peek'

'Weird! I heard someone else talk.'

"What are you searching for?"

"Huh? nothing. Sleep and let others sleep."

"Okay!"

She turns the babies aside and slips into a blanket.

'Such troublemakers' everywhere.'

He thought and left.

'bulge! surge!'

"Ah! babies, don't kick."

She flips to the other side and sleeps.

*after some hours…*

"Geld, are you awake?"

"Yeah! Emma. I am."

"What?! Drop that. It's just Timothy. Don't take it far."

"Whatever! Let me sleep if you are just fighting to wake me up."

"Wait! Don't you feel your body has grown big suddenly?!"

"I know and you too have grown. What's new?"

"I am feeling hungry…"

"Huh?!"

'turns!'

"You want me to wake her up!"

"No! Not her. I want to go out."

"Now!"

"Yeah! I want that deer meat."

"You are one weird creature."

"Are you coming or not?"

"Yeah yeah just don't disturb her sleep."

'sneek'

"Aah! It's just awesome to stand on my own feets and take in this cold air."

"Bro! It's been ages since we had a new body and this feels right. Oh! Sorry, you are a girl. So, how's it in a girl's body? You want me to touch you."

"I have not forgotten all your things until now. Do you want to taste my fists?"

"You bet. Whoever wins, will be the leader forever."

"I am not in. I can't fall for that anymore, Geld."

"How come I am stuck with an old name? She must have a pretty decent name otherwise, I will not carry on with this life."

"Really! Burden gone. Thank god."

"Are you not hungry?"

"Yeah I am."

'swirl swirl'

"whoa! still you know this."

"It's easier with my new blood now. It's pretty strong, I kinda like it."

"Eat up fast. I can't wait longer. I need sleep. I am not a night-wanderer you know."

'gulp gulp'

"Let's go!"

"It's sucked dry. Now it looks more like a mummy than a deer carcass."
