WOLF PASSION

The stench of blood was overpowering when the entrance door was opened. Blood was splattered all over the floor with large claw scratches. Suddenly, something ran toward him very quickly, as if it wanted to pounce on its prey.

“Ah...” cried a girl who had just had a nightmare for the umpteenth time.

“Selgie! Are you dreaming again?” asked a middle-aged woman who had just arrived.

“Yes, the dream is back again.”

Selgie smiled faintly at Aunt Wardhani with sweat pouring down her temples. The middle-aged woman sat beside her bed, gently stroking her long hair.

“Are you okay?” she asked.

“I’m fine.”

Selgie lied to Aunt Wardhani and quickly got out of bed, heading for the bathroom to get ready for school. After finishing, Selgie Grizella stood in front of the vanity mirror. The reflection showed a slim body, a smooth face without acne, straight hair, and a school uniform. She picked up her backpack and hurried down the stairs. At the dining table was her niece, Melinda, waiting for breakfast.

Selgie walked into the kitchen to meet Aunt Wardhani.

“Auntie, I don’t think I can have breakfast this morning.”

“Selgie, you can’t just leave without breakfast.”

“You, take it easy, Auntie. I won’t starve to death.”

“But, Selgie—”

“I’ll eat at the school cafeteria later,” she said as she walked away.

Selgie was already at the front door. As she stared out into the yard, the images of her dream suddenly reappeared. Fear and anxiety washed over her. The feeling that something bad would happen when she stepped out of the house overwhelmed her.

Selgie looked around the deserted-looking courtyard. It was as if the house was uninhabited. She felt that she was being watched by someone. Her bluish eyes tried to find the person watching her. Her eyes accidentally saw a silhouette behind a large tree. The light was cloudy as if it was going to rain. The air felt so hot.

Selgie tried to look at the big tree that always seemed to be watching her. Her eyes began to rise slowly towards the branches of the big, creepy tree. The banyan tree looked old and was filled with weeds creeping up the branches.

Today was her first day back at school after a long absence due to a school transfer. Selgie was surprised to see a black bird with reddened eyes staring at her creepily. After a few seconds of trying to calm herself, she tried to convince herself that it was nothing. She had nothing to fear, even though the terrifying bird, which looked as if it was infected with a virus, kept watching her. The bird was huge and didn’t move.

Selgie turned her face away from the bird that kept staring at her like a man looking for his prey. Annoyed, she threw a stone at the bird, hitting its wing. The bird immediately flew away, no longer perched on the tree branch. The gray clouds looked so overcast, but now they seemed luminous and no longer scary. Selgie felt that she was no longer afraid. The anxiety that enveloped her had disappeared with the bird that flew off to who knows where.

Selgie’s beautiful face smiled again. She looked at the clock on her hand. No, this can’t be happening. She couldn’t be late for school. Selgie immediately ran as fast as she could to the bus stop to get to her school.

Ss...

In an instant, the bird died in the hands of the man who caught it. The bird turned to ashes instantly. He didn’t mean to kill it. The bird surprised him while he was looking for prey to quench the thirst in his throat. He was very thirsty and hungry, so he was looking for prey in such a terrifying forest.

The handsome man stood under the dense trees, dressed in a neat school uniform. He was looking for a small rabbit to relieve his hunger before going to school. Kelvin Lullof was a handsome-looking man, slightly pale, with very abnormal white skin. Kelvin bit into the little rabbit, tearing the poor creature’s flesh ferociously. There wasn’t a single piece of meat left, only small bones.

Kelvin wiped his lips, making sure no blood stains were left behind. After eating the little rabbit and killing the poor bird, he didn’t want to take any chances. This disguise was already hard enough for him. A bitter smile appeared on Kelvin’s handsome face. It was sad that he couldn’t have a place to live where he could be himself. A few years earlier, he had still lived normally like a human. But now, he wasn’t a normal human anymore. His family had been divided.

Forget all that. He needed to go to school right away.

There was the sound of footsteps that were different from humans. There couldn’t be humans coming into the middle of a creepy forest like this. Kelvin turned his head toward the bushes. Two wolves appeared, fellow hunters. The two wolves changed instantly, just like Kelvin, who looked like a normal human. The fur on their bodies just disappeared.

“You already got your breakfast?” he asked.

It was Jerry, a man with grey hair and black skin, wearing the same uniform as Kelvin.

“Sure, because we’re going to be late soon,” Kelvin said.

“We’d better go,” Dea said.

A white wolf with black markings had now transformed into a girl with shoulder-length hair. The two of them were Kelvin’s friends.

Kelvin was about to leave when he saw a bird that looked the same as the bird he had killed. The bird was staring at him intently. Kelvin wanted to try using his power to find out if the bird was the same as the one he had killed or if it was different.

Kelvin and his two friends soon turned back into wolves. Kelvin turned into a big, shaggy wolf.
