Sinful Love

“A WHAT???” Sitka is at top of his anxiety level, figuring out thousands of counter attack they would need in the near future.

“Amphisbaena, she said. Now, first of all, it would be perfect if we can stop that thing from getting out of our waters. How are we going to find and fight that? Its buried in the lake bottom” Zaden asked, they all had 1 answer but none dared to speak out

“Selena” A shaky voice came from behind, Grandpa Kai

“If the creature is still there, it comes out for Selena” he said

“I was hoping for a Plan B” Zaden mumbled to himself.

“No, we can't do that. She haven't recovered from her injury and now we want to push her into the waters again? We might risk losing her” Orion exclaimed. The fear of losing her is real in his heart. He rarely slept last night after knowing that the incident is an attack and not an accident. Everyone kept quiet, as if they agree with Grandpa Kai. Orion looked from one face to another and Zaden was deep in thought. Orion slammed his chair to the ground and walked out of the communal room. He headed straight to Lake Thao. He sat there, on the bank, reassessing what he could do. He wanted her, a throbbing pain in his heart is a clear sign of that. Giving her up to Samrat or throwing her into a creature's grip is not an option. He grabbed his hair into fist and let out a scream that echoed through Lake Thao. Drops of tears ran down his cheek as he bite down his lips.

‘There must be a way…There must be away…’ he kept repeating in his mind. He sat there not noticing how time had flew by. Then, it clicked. He ran back to the brick house in wolf form, shifted in front of the pack, standing naked. Makeala passed him the hospital blanket and he drew that around his hip.

“I have an idea but it might hurt her a bit. We take her blood and drop it to the lake, baiting the Goya to come out and once it's out, we attack” the pack straightened their back as they looked at Selena. Selena smiled, filled with proud as she nodded yes to the plan.

It was already 7pm when they arrived back to the lake with Selena in Zaden's hand. The pack stood naked by the lake including Makeala, not bothering to look at each other's body. They were focused on tackling Goya. Zaden took Selena to the wooden plank bridge and placed her gently on the edge. He walked away with hesitance as he won't be able to slit her palms. They all looked at each other, hoping someone will do it on behalf of them, but none came forward. Selena smirked. She took the knife and slit her palm, yelping at the pain. She looked up at them and when they nodded, she shut tight her eye and extend her hand to the waters. She still don't dare to look at a pack of werewolves and need to close her eye when they shift. The pack turned into their wolf form in a second and walked to the edge of bank, end of wooden plank. Selena is in front of them, their eye focused on the water. In search for any sign of movement. Drops of blood gathered at one end of her palm, gaining weight by second, finally dripping down, drawing a beautiful wavy pattern into the clear lake water. A wave of energy rippled through the water. She pulled out her hand, into her chest, thrusting a piece of clean cloth in hope to stop the bleeding. The surrounding became silent, too silent. Not even a cricket chirped, no owl hoot, no frog croaked, not even the wind bellowed. The 4 wolves know that a storm is about to evoke beneath this silent, they stood there, not daring to breath heavy or even blink. Minutes felt decades. Oddly enough, Selena wasn't afraid to sit further away from the pack. All of a sudden, a swoosh of water rose to about 10 feet height in front of Selena. The water cleared to reveal the dreadful creature, a 10 foot height above water, red eye with hands like attachment that is stout. It didn't have a thick body thou, more of 60cm thickness. The smell it emit was vomitable. It stood in the middle of lake, in front of Selena, slithering it's tongue but Zaden stopped the pack from attacking. With a gasp,Selena's heart skipped a bit and a chilly numbness crept up her body, from feet to head. As Selena laid there with wide eye looking straight into the creature, she didn't notice another one creeping from below the bridge, peeping its head up, less than a feet in front of her.

‘Now’

In a second her whole body dropped down into the lake in one straight line, as if the lake just swallowed its length. Selena and Makeala waited eagerly for the pack to resurface but none did. Selena's and Makeala's heart beat kept rising with every passing second. A drop of tears made its way down Makeala's burgundy fur. She blinked her eyes repeatedly before bowing her head. But just before the head touches the wood plank, a body of silver, jumped across her head, diving into the water. Makeala blinked profusely a few more times before she realized it was Selena. Her duty is to guard her. She jumped into the water. Deep down in the water, the silver wolf kicking its feet in synchronize, glimmered all the way to pack leaders who are currently entangled by the large white serpent, as it encircled them with her body. It froze once it sensed Selena in the water, snapped both its head to her direction, losing its grip on the pack leaders. It swooshed at lightning speed towards Selena and Makeala. Selena turned around and swam as fast as she could, past Makeala. The pack leader had to resurface for breath. Once they were stable, they dug back into the water and swam to Selena, pushing their feet as forceful as they

high speed, when she heard the thud of werewolf pack. She reached the trap pit which haven't been covered yet, since they are waiting for cement load from city. Goya slithered into the pit and as if she possess magic, the metal cover twisted open and shut behind her.
