Her Cold Beast And His Dark Beauty

Pishka's POV

I'm in the darkness but a constant nudging feeling against my head brings me to my consciousness. Upon opening my eyes, I'm met with a pair of huge golden eyes in the pitch darkness. I take deep breaths as my eyes adjust to the dark. Once fully adjusted I see a larger than normal-sized dog, laying in front of my sitting frame with its head high... Sitting there just staring at me like I am a new fascinating discovery. Sitting for what felt like an hour, I slowly stand up as it watches me move

°Where am I?°

I hear growling to my left, turning my head in that direction a large sandy dog leaps out of nowhere, lunging at me. But at the last minute, the golden-eyed dog from earlier attacks the sandy dog first. Light enters revealing that the golden-eyed dog has twilight black fur

While they were busy fighting I ran into the woods like there was no tomorrow, I suddenly stop in my tracks as a thought pops it into my adrenaline-racing brain. Only to increase the speed at which it was thinking

°Wait, when did I arrive at the woods..... Where am I? Never mind that I can always come back to that after I get back home or to a safe place... Safe place?...°

I look around only to see trees, trees and more trees with the occasional hooting from the owls. I begin to run again at the sound of a howl piercing through the silent woods like the king of the woods, taking claim to it. I stop and look around for a few seconds, as I try to catch my uncontrollable heavy breathing. Another howl is heard but this time it's closer than before. Pushing my tired body off my knees I start running again

Leaves from branches whip me in the face, some even scratch at my face as if trying to cling onto me to stop me from running any further. With rising fear, I push through as I feel my body weaken and my legs tremble. While running my sight begins to blur at this moment a branch whips in right in the eyes, causing my sight to deteriorate further

I lose balance in the process of my temporary blindness, causing me to trip over my foot and fall stomach first. Landing on a tree root that was sticking out of the ground, I groan in pain as I lay there. I don't dare scream in fear that that might excite my pursuer. I don't dare to move, I'm in too much pain to move just yet

°That is sooo gonna leave a mark on my poor belly, please forgive me tummy°

Getting up finally after the pain fades, once on my feet and standing something steadily I limp around slowly as the sounds from the two large creatures fade away into the distance. Then everything goes silent, nothing but my heartbeat and heavy breathing can be heard, after a while, I hear footsteps and heavy breathing but it's not mine... I know cause I'm standing still as a statue and even holding my breath from the fear of being heard by the approaching creature

I turn around as the steps get nearer and they also seem to slow down their speed, I stand there fully turned facing the unknown. I cannot see since I closed my eyes somewhere around turning for fear of being attacked, the creature stops a couple of feet away from me. I hear growling and grunting coming from it as it stands in one place, I know this because the sound isn't getting nearer or further away from me.

An image of the sandy-coloured dog flashes its horrific elongated face with sharp, long canine teeth, it appears as if it's jumping right in front of my face... Ready to sink its teeth into my flesh and rip my flesh off of my face as I scream from unbearable pain and horror. I drop to the floor as I try to escape but it pounces on me preventing me from escaping with its large paws placed on each arm and its razor-sharp nails digging into the flesh of my skin as red fluid flows out of the open fresh wound

After leaving my bloody face it attacks my neck causing my screams to turn into gurgling sobs as I choke on the blood that drips from the corners of my mouth. I try to get gulps of air to fill up my lunges but only blood spurts out of a gaping hole in my throat, while going through this agony I feel another excruciating pain run through my body as my stomach is being eaten. How I'm alive til this point I don't know but the pain is so unbearable.

A whimpering sound breaks me out of that trance and find myself standing, unharmed. Taking glances around my body and area, I see that I'm still perfectly in one piece

°I must have imagined that gruesome scene...°

Whining at the pain my stomach feels from the uninvited vibration that my butt caused as I look around gasping for air while adrenaline courses its way through my veins. Then I spot a black large dog standing before me, it stares at me as I stare back. Those eyes... Golden eyes stare at me with an unexplainable flame that scares me

The black creature begins to approach me slowly but I move back in response, I hear a sudden growl and look up with a panicked look on my face and my eye's irises shaking in fear. Seeing me laying there helplessly it continues its approach towards me then stops in front of me, closing my eyes not wanting to see what it will do to me. A feeling of wetness coming from a large soft, slippery flesh touches my skin, I stop breathing and scrunch my face up

°It's tasting me!°

Then it stops licking my face and only rustling sounds are heard for a few minutes before it returns to being quiet. I wait for something to happen but nothing does. When my heart finally stopped beating too fast I open my eyes only to see the twilight dog that was fighting the other dog standing a few yards away from me. It probably won seeing that it's here and not the other one, I shudder at the thought of if that other one was here and not this one

°But what if this one is worse than the sandy-coated one°

It steps towards me and I notice it's limping as its right front paw is raised in the air, then collapses in front of me. I stare at it but seeing that it won't be moving anytime soon, I stand up and do what any reasonable person would do with an 8-10 foot tall dog in front of them. I turn in the opposite direction getting ready to run like the mad teenager I am, but before I can even take three steps to start, I hear whimpering. I turn around and look at it, feelings of pity and guilty begin to surface

°I DON'T KNOW WHY?! I DIDN'T INJURE IT SO WHY?!!°

I turn to look at the poor creature, laying before me breathing heavily with eyes that seem to have lost concentration on everything else but me. Slowly I begin to approach it, ready to run if it lunges at me out of hunger or something. Once close enough I reach out my hand towards it expecting it to react. I did not expect it to bring its head towards my hand for me to touch it, I stroked and pat its head a couple of times as I notice something nice. I begin to enjoy the softness of its fur while playing with the long hair stands

Suddenly I hear the cracking of bones, I quickly move away from the creature and look down at my body to see if it's me but see nothing wrong with me. I look around for the source of the noise, but it falls silent. And the giant dog is nowhere to be seen, so I quickly hide behind a tree, behind a tree

Heavy breathing and nudging at my leg get my attention, I don't look down thinking the creature is just looking for attention. Not wanting to waste time on it. I choose to rather focus on finding the source of the noises from earlier

Not looking down I decide to stroke the twilight dog's furry head so he can leave me to look around in peace. While stroking the beast again as I go downwards to its ear I feel....rubbery squishy material, like... skin and a smaller head!?

I look down out of curiosity. What my eyes see leaves me in shock and horror. Instead of a furry giant dog, a NAKED man laying his head against my leg. He stared up at me with green/brown eyes. For split second he smelt of freshly baked cake with chocolate icing -my favorite flavor-, it just made my mouth want to water from the thought of it

The sudden hooting of an owl reminds me of the situation I was in. Quickly crawling on my hands and feet away from the stranger before me. Standing up nearly tripping over my own feet. When finally standing up somewhat close to straight-up I cover my stomach with my right arm as the pain I hadn't noticed all this time made its presence known. Looking back at the stranger, he is standing too

°When did he stand up, I didn't see or hear him...°

^ Maybe it was because you were too busy making noise yourself.... ^

°Oh shut up°

Hearing the snap of a twig I look up just in time to see that his starting to stalk towards me and I step back in turn. This scene reminds me of a predator stalking its prey, waiting for the right time to pounce. Feeling stuck in a corner, still trying back away from him. I hit something I didn't see that was behind me, probably a tree but I'm too scared to look behind me cause I don't want him to attack me while I am not looking

Scrambling my brain for a solution or a way to escape this problematic person. Shutting my eyes tightly as I wait for the pain to explode and then explore my body, feeling only the pain that is already in my stomach. Hesitantly I open my eyes only to see him almost hovering over me but not saying a thing. His movements are so light you can barely hear his footsteps

Pishka: Who are you? What are you? What do you want from me?

I say almost in a whisper while trembling. He stares at me and doesn't say a word, he just continues to walk closer. He stops a few inches away from me and smiles but his appearance is not visible. Putting his head at the crook of my neck, he begins inhaling the scent of my skin. Then it hits me that he might not be a dog after all but a wolf...... no not a wolf but rather.... a werewolf. An indescribable pain spreads throughout my entire body, starting from where he bit me to the nerves in my toes

Pishka: Wh-why-why?

I ask in a faint voice as I look up as my eyes lose focus of his figure. Multiple figures appear as I stare at him, his face is still not clear enough. He speaks in an arrogant tone

Man???: Cause your Mine!

After saying those words darkness consumes me

My eyes snap open as my body shoots up to a sitting position. Feeling drenched from cold sweat clinging to my body, I look around with wide eyes as fear grips my heart. I sit there looking around, seeing myself in my room. I let out an unsteady sigh of relief

°What a weird dream, I wonder if it had a meaning behind it. Was that a werewolf, it bit me too..... No that's not possible, there is no such thing after all..... Right?°

I feel the side of my neck just in case there is anything there, but there is nothing. Only a faint hint of pain underneath my skin, it kind of felt good though since I like a pain but not too much cause I am scared of it at the same time ~ weird, right?

I shakily climb out of bed and walk to the bathroom after nearly falling a few times, because my legs wouldn't stop shaking from fear. But I made it to my bathroom in one peace, turning the hot water on. I enter the shower after undressing when the temperature was just right. Washing and scrubbing off last night's nightmare. Cleaning up properly I step out refreshed, wrapping a blue towel around my body. I look at my reflection in the mirror, I saw a scared little girl - I have a baby face

After examining my face for a few seconds I walk out of the bathroom to my closet and pick out a simple baseball top, a pair of leggings and a pair of Nike sneakers. Once fully dressed, I head downstairs earlier than usual. Ehhh?..... mommy making breakfast and daddy watching wrestling... The house is lively?! I greet my mom while walking to the lounge to watch the match with daddy.

Pishka: Morning daddy

Daddy: Morning baby, how did you sleep?

Pishka: I slept well and you?

I lied to him, it was like blinking my eyelids - they should make lying a subject at schools you know. I feel like I always lie to him when I need to tell him the truth the most

Daddy: Fine, baby and you gonna be starting school next week Monday, we are gonna be school hunting today. So you can finally be out of my hair

He cheekily grins at me, with that innocently smile of his - sarcasm is oozing all over that remark.

Pishka: You don't have hair daddy, your a bold old man

Daddy: You, you think I'm as old as Mandela but I'm only 44 years old you know

He grins at me, with that close mouth smile of his - that I inherited from him

Pishka: That is already ancient daddy, you really are old you know

I innocently smile back at him, and he playfully glares at me with a smile on his face. He ruffles my hair, I quickly pull his hand off before he can destroy my hairstyle any further

Pishka: Daddy, I spent hours doing my hair, while you don't even have to brush yours

My turn to playfully glare at him, this time around.

Daddy: I do brush what little I have of hair, even if I don't have to.

He pauses and looks at the TV, then back at me, with a smile on his face

Daddy: Can you please make me tea, mommy

He childishly says while putting his bold head on my lap, giving me no choice but to say yes, I sigh. And look down at him

This old fart can be a pain and childish at the same time sometimes, but he is the only old man I could ever call father on this earth unfortunately, I wonder what was mummy thinking when she fell in love with this old man of a grandpa

I shake my head in disapproval and just sarcastically glare at him.

Pishka: Fine, now please move your big bald head, so that I can go make it for you

He moves to smile at me and carries on watching TV

Daddy: Also can you bring me, my milk, please Kapish

Pishka: Okay, okay daddy

I walk into the kitchen to make his tea, luckily the water has already boiled. Putting a teabag into a mug, pour the boiled water into the mug. I take out the sugar container along with his favorite powdered milk from the top cabinet. I pull out a tray from the drawer in front of me, I place a mug, sugar container and milk container on the tray. Only to see a hand putting a plate of food onto the tray in front of me, I look behind me to see that it is mom. I say thanks on daddy's behalf and take out some eating utensils from a drawer to my right, then place them onto the tray. I head to the lounge with the tray. Place it on the table in front of my daddy, he sits up then pours the sugar and milk into the mug of tea

After his done, I return to the kitchen with the milk container, used teabag and sugar container. I place the two containers back in their rightful spots but throw the teabag into the bin. I fetch my plate of food, say my thanks to my mom and walk back to the lounge. Mom joins us after we are done eating, to start our high school hunt journey for me

After three days of searching, we finally get a spot for me at this school called Crescent High, more like Death High if you ask me but the unfortunate part is that no one asked me. To me, it looked like a hell hole, to be honest, and I didn't even attend the damn place yet

Ugh bad luck for me cause I am going to this school, we return and both my parents tell me that they have to go to work, they give me their kisses and hugs, then they are out the door in less than a second. I hope that school does not become the death of me after the next two days I have to go there, luckily there is no uniform required, for the first time I get to go to a school, where I don't have to wear a uniform, YAY. At least there was one good thing about this school, hopefully, the teachers aren't as dead as the school looks

It had vines with roses all over it, it looked like Count Dracula borrowed them his lair, since he would be in hiding for a while and they were in need - literally. I mean some of the kids here look like their half dead - aka the living dead - does this school eat brains or suck out your brains? Or maybe your blood?

°That dream messed up my head and mood°

Like really though my last semester has to be spent, no this place doesn't even deserve the word "spent", I have to waste my last semester at this hell hole of a school. I used to love school, okay not a lot but more than I do now. Well that was until I moved to America, after I was enrolled at the new school, they still wore uniforms but besides that

I would get teased all the time about my ears being extra small and having a baby face with the broadness of my body, I never told my dad or aun-mom or the teachers, let alone the principal. I think we moved because one of the teachers noticed I was getting bullied and I was starting to come home with bruises, but at least I had friends - which I am sure told one of the teachers that told the principal and the principal told my parents

My parents came to talk to me about it and I denied it, but after they saw the bruises I couldn't lie to them anymore. What a shame too, I was getting used to the pain though, I'm slightly a masochist not too much but to a certain degree... Now here I was probably gonna get a worse beating, I don't know why but it felt like it.

Out of boredom, I decided to take a walk around the place and no, I don't have a car if I did I would have gone to a library or the mall to watch a movie or something. I walk down to the lounge from my room with my headphones on, playing music from my phone. Passing the kitchen to grabbing 3 oranges and the keys on my way out. I close the door, lock it and down the walkway, to the lake I saw a few miles back the other day. I struggled and worried if I might have been lost but when I finally arrive, it was empty... Lucky me. I sit there for a while and head to the woods to check it out since I am bored as hell

I start running cause I want to feel the adrenaline rush through my veins, after running for a while I slow into a jog and finally stop after a while. I peel off my headphones to see my surroundings and inhale the fresh air, I have been longing for for fresh air for years now. Not caring about what or who was around me I just inhaled and smiled from ear to ear like a maniac that I felt like

I am a heathen after all so this is normal for me. I walk deeper and hear my favourite rock song, I start rocking out at "Get Back" by Nine Lashes, but when "Blood, Sweat and Tears" by BTS came on I went crazy, I bet I looked like I was out of my right mind
