Sunday

The echo of a hoarse laugh sounded spooky in the dark room. Bewildered and frightened the girl looked around, but in the dark, she could see little more than dark shapes. Then she heard something, or someone coming closer, and then stopping in front of her.

“Wh-what is happening? Who are you?”

Garyl looked down at the girl and smiled a creepy smile.

“That’s not really the correct question. More likely it would be: what am I doing here?”

The girl on the floor had enough anger inside to push the fear away and spit that question to Garyl.

“You are… well… my experiment, and the only thing we’ll have to do now, is waiting.”

“Wait for what? What kind of sick person are you?!”

Garyl bended over. “The worst,” she whispered, and again a soft laugh came over her lips.

The idea of testing the wolfpoison on another human being had popped up last week. She carefully avoided Adras, since he was acting weird and she really needed some time to think. Sooner or later, he would notice, though, that was inevitable. But now she was here, and the only thing that still needed to be tested was the changing. The kidnapping and biting was surprisingly easy, but that wasn’t really what this was about. Garyl needed to know if she was strong, or that the poison skipped more persons.

The girl on the floor looked like her. Dark hair, almost black eyes, a strong character/will, length, weight… It could’ve been her twin, if only they had the same parents. Garyl opened the curtains and a beam of light entered the darkness.

The girl squeezed her eyes, blinded by the sudden light. But soon after she opened them and looked around. She could see Garyl watching her and then she felt it. Her body shook by a sudden shiver.

Garyl frowned as she watched it. It couldn’t be! The wolf in her blood shouldn’t be that strong to pass it on, and she didn’t even have fangs!

But the other girl laughed and then, with bone breaking sounds it was done.

“You thought you could change me? Hah!”

“Nope, just testing something.” Garyl was surprised by the voice coming out of the dark wolf.

The girl walked towards Garyl, in a very threatening way. But Garyl stood firm and did not let her eyes wander off.

“So, you’re not scared, hmm? Too bad.” The girl turned her back on her and wanted to leave the building.

“Wait! Please… tell me who bit you,” Garyl begged.

“I don’t know. After he bit me he said he'd made a mistake; that he saw me for someone else.”

“What do you mean?” she asked, although Garyl was sure it was Adras they were talking about.

“He said that I wasn’t the girl he was looking for, the one he wants to be with.” The wolf looked at her in a way that she pitied that she wasn't the right one for the boy.. “But, I’m hungry, and you're not afraid, so I gotta run and find something to scare to death. But if I’ll see you again in my town I’ll rip your head off, understood?”

In a daze, Garyl nodded and watched the black shadow leave.

The one he wants to be with. The one he wants to be with.

The words sang over and over in her mind and confused Garyl turned home.
