VICTORIA'S POV
Sipping on my milkshake monotonously I gazed outside the window at the forest, silently. The trees were waving around with the wind that has picked its pace, with the now forming clouds.
They looked like they were travelling, with how the crescent-shaped moon was hiding behind them occasionally, making it dark around everywhere.
We both ( and Daniel) had been sitting in silence since Alexander stord out of the room. It was a comfortable silence none the less.
That's what I had been telling my mind from the past 10 minutes. It was turning more of consoling self now. That it didn't affect , how Alexander said those words or how he stord out.
I don't know why, but from the mont Alexander left looking all angry, I had been feeling this strange kind of emotion swirling in my heart, like an emotion of sorrow or loss.
I don't know how to describe it, but I was feeling a strange sense of hollowness as if there was sothing wrong. Like I was doing sothing wrong being here. Apart from Alexander affecting , was I forgetting sothing else too?
Am I missing sothing? But what could it be? If I missed my parents, I would've known about it. I an, I do miss my parents but this ti, it wasn't about them.
It was sothing different.
I don't want to bother Daniel with it, nor do I want to call Alexander over this, given he himself was angry, and when I don't even know what it's all about. Besides, the guys had already done too much for .
If not for them, then I probably would've been lying in so sickly hospital room, which would've made sicker because of its sll.
Gazing at the sky, I looked at the clouds that had appeared out of nowhere.
'Looks like even the weather is sharing my emotions.' I thought, smiling at my imagination.
Even Carla was silent from the mont I yelled at her.
Soon, the clouds were accompanied by lightening with a rumble of deafening thunder, making shudder at the sound.
It really resonated the turmoil inside my heart.
Looking at the lightening, sothing struck , and it was then, when I realised, why I was feeling like this.
I forgot to et him! My daily dose of happiness. I had made it a point and also promised him, to et him, no matter what, till I am here.
I forgot to et my cuddly wolf-bear thunder!
As soon as I rember not eting him, it was as if soone triggered my mind and I started feeling this strong desire of seeing him.
It might sound weird but I felt like he needed right now. Like he was in so kind of trouble.
What if he is waiting for in the sa place, where we et daily?
It's lightning and probably would rain soon, where will he go in this weather?
Does he even have a cave to hide in?
What if he decides to wait for at our usual place even in this weather?
And if he doesn't have a cave, where will he hide if it pours?
Shouldn't I arrange for him to hide, given how I boldly declared that day, I that I would take care of him?
Is he waiting for to take care of him?
What if he misses ? What if he is scared in this weather? Was he feeling lonely?
Doesn't animals have a strange sense of loyalty with people who they befriend?
All sort of questions started popping inside my head, sending my mind into a jiffy.
Placing my cup on the table, I looked towards Daniel with urgency,
"I need to go back, like right now. Can you please take ho?"
"What's the matter, Vic? As far as I know, you live alone, don't you? Do you have to tell soone that you are staying here? You can use my phone if your battery is dead. It's not a bother to us. You can sleep here. Don't worry about , I can sleep in Alexander's room." He said as he put down his phone while sitting straight.
"No, it's not about that. It's just, I can't explain, but I need to go back. Soone is waiting for . I need to feed him, he might be feeling lonely without ." I said, as I took my clothes that had been given placed on the table by Alexander, when he ca earlier, before dashing inside the bathroom to change.
"It's one in the morning, Vic. Who do you want to feed this early? If it's a pet then it can wait till the sun rises. Besides, you can see the weather, no animal would be out in this weather." Daniel reasoned, and probably whatever he was saying was right, but I couldn't lift this desire of seeing him at the mont.
I wanted, no, I needed to see him. I knew he needed sohow. And even if he didn't need , I needed him, because I missed him.
"Uhh...you are right. It's okay. This mansion is not that far from my place. Raining hasn't started yet. If I go now, I might reach before it starts pouring." I reasoned before coming out of the bathroom, dressed in my clothes.
Wearing my jacket, I left the room, having a gist of where to go for the exit, when Daniel was taking down to his room.
"Wait, Vic," Daniel said behind , but I didn't want to listen to him.
He is right with all of his reasons, however, it won't be the first ti soone might think, that I act too irrationally. This is my nature I guess.
Looking in the sky ti to ti, shuddering at the echoing sound of the thunder, I went straight to the forest, without even watching which way to go.
"Thunder!!" I shouted, which was obviously a bad move when I already knew there were many other wolves apart from the thunder in this forest.
Running in a particular direction in which I had gone earlier, on the day of that party, when I had t him for the first ti, I switched on the torch of my mobile to see clearly, since the light of the moon was blocked by these heavy clouds.
After around 30 minutes of constant searching, I sat on a nearby branch that had fallen from the tree, to catch my breath.
Opening my cellphone, I decided to call Daniel, to see if that dropping ho option was still available or not.
Maybe thunder was waiting on the side near my ho.
He knew where I lived because he had developed this habit of seeing off till I exit the forest and go towards my house.
However, as I dialled Daniel's number, it said the number is out of coverage area.
Fumbling around my contacts list, I was about to call Alexander, but was stopped when I heard it.
The sound of a twig breaking not far from behind . I knew thunder would find in this forest from anywhere because I've heard that dogs have a strong sense of sll.
Smiling happily I turned around to greet thunder and apologize for being late, however, I didn't know I was in for a big shock this ti.
The wolf that I thought was thunder, had yellowish-red eyes and was snarling at , with so sticky liquid, maybe his saliva dripping off his snout.
Have you ever felt like regretting a decision you made in a hurry, not even listening to others when they had already warned you about not doing it? Well, that's exactly what I was feeling right now.
This wasn't my thunder. This was so other wolf. So other wolf, who was hungry. And the way he was looking at with those hunger filled eyes, I knew he wanted .
He wanted to eat !!
'And guys this is how you beco the food of an angry hungry animal overnight!
Do not ever try this stunt at ho!' I laughed awkwardly at my thoughts before looking back at the hungry wolf.
