45: The crimson mark

Two wolves were playing in an open field, transforming at will whenever they wanted. Even the female did too and the male wolf happily chased her across the field.

Suddenly, she transformed to her human self and he did too, and he continued to chase after her.

Their laughter was echoing all over the bushes.

Suddenly, she missed a foot and fell down a steep path, rolling on the floor till she saw herself being wedged by the body of a cave.

She stared at her companion who stood at the top of the cliff she had fallen from, glancing at her.

He didn't come down, neither did he hurry to help her as she had been tangled and caught by a net.

"Come on Damien. Help me" she said as she stretched her hand towards him.

He hesitated for a while, staring at her with tears in his eyes, but still did not move.

"Damien please help me" she continued, her voice cracking as she was almost sobbing this time around.
