“ Yeah , he came at the right time and saved me ” .
“ If he wouldn’t have saved you that day , I wouldn’t be sitting with you here , I am happy that Adam saved you ” .
“ Yeah I am happy too, he gave me a new life ” .
“ What happened next ? ” .
“ I was admitted to the hospital ” .
“ Did Adam arrested Steve and his gang ? ” .
He was not a real sheriffafter all , how can he arrest them and Rita’s father was a powerful politician , Adam remained silent on this matter , he would be expecting me to get well and file a case against them all but he was quite.
I didn’t told my mom and dad about this , not even Gerard told them , he turned out to be my friend , he helped me while I was in the hospital ,read novels for me , while I was on the bed , Adam took money from me but he looked after me and did all the arrangements .He took good care of me .
“ And did Olivia came to visit you there ? ” .
No she didn’t , I don’t know what happened , why didn’t she saw my burnt car , Steve, Rita and their friends burnt it near her house , still she didn’t knew what happened with me , she came to know it on 24 when she went to my home to meet me , she had finally realized that I was innocent and Rita was played a trap against us but I was in hospital , she met Gerard there and he told her about what happened on 21st , after knowing that she didn’t came to meet me at hospital .
“ That was rude ”.
That wasn’t rude , she decided to kill Steve and his gang at Rita’s home , Rita had thrown a party on her house that day , she was celebrating her and Steve’s victory over me , it was a full moon night .
“ Tell everything clearly on this matter here because this will affect your case here” .
After Gerard told her about what happened on 21st , Gerard came to hospital to give me food , it was nearly 4 , and he came and sat near me
“ I have good news for you Jack ” he said smiling .
“ What is it ? ” I asked .
“ Are you really ready to hear it ? ” .
“ Yeah I am , all I want is some good news now” .
“ Olivia came to meet you at home today , she understand you now ”
“ Really ? That’s so nice , oh god thanks finally she understood me ” I was happy now but something came to my mind “ wait one second did you told her about her what happened on 21st? ”.
“ Yes I did and that made her really angry , she just ran away very fast hearing my words ” .
“ Give me your phone ” I said .
“ Why ?, do you want to call someone ? ”.
Give it to me , I took it from him and I checked the calendar ,it was full moon night .
“ This can’t happen ” I said anxiously .
“ What can’t happen?”Gerard asked .
“ Nothing ” I said and removed the glucose pipe and I came out of the hospital running .
“ Where are you going ? ” he followed me and asked .
“ To save someone , where are the keys of the truck ? ” .
He gave me keys
“ Will you be all right ? ” .
“ I just don’t know” I said and I just went to the truck
“ Whom you are going to save ? ”
“ Olivia ” I said and started the engine .
“ But what is going to happen to her ”.
“ Nothing ” I said and I just drive ahead .
“ You are leaving me here , how am I going to go home? ”.
“ By bus” I said and went out of the hospital .
I reached her house both the wolfs weren’t there , I knocked the door no one opened , so I broke the door and went inside , she was not there , she wasn’t at her home .
“ Where is she ” I said at that time I don’t know about the party , I just went to Steve home , it was getting dark ,
“ Steve , Steve ” I said knocking at the door .
“ What’s it punk? ” His little brother opened the door .
I punched him in the face hard .
“ What do you want man ?” he asked as he felled down on the floor
“Where is Steve ? ”I asked , he can see how angry I was at that time .
“ He went to a party at Rita’s house,Rita’s parents are out of the town and their whole gang is doing party at the house ” he said holding his nose .
Final Battle
I looked at the sky it was getting dark and the moon was about to shine and turn Olivia into a beast . I drove as fast as I could and I reached Rita’s house ,there were many cars outside her house , party was going on and everyone was celebrating ,Steve , Rita and all their friends were dancing. I looked for her without getting anyone’s attention I looked for her everywhere around the house but I could not see her , I knew she was there I felt her ,then walked a distance from the home towards the wood , then I saw her standing in the woods, I was at a distance from her but I could see her , she was looking at Rita , without blinking her eyes , even I was at a distance from her but still I could see the rage in Olivia’s eyes.
“ Olivia ” I shouted and she turned back and looked at me , she smiled as she wanted to be with me , then she looked at the sky , the moon had taken its place in the sky , she looked at it and fell down , and begin to transform into werewolf .
“ No ” I shouted and went towards her , it was not possible for me to run I was wounded , but I don’t want her to transform into a Werewolf that night because I know Adam and I knew he can kill werewolves.
I went as fast as I could but she got transformed , as she got completely transformed , she looked at me , I stopped where I was , “ just don’t do that Olivia, you are still human from inside ” I said .
Rita’s friend begin shout even louder ,this grabbed Olivia’s attention she looked at the house .
“No just don’t” I shouted and ran towards her , but before I could reach her , she just moved towards Rita’s house , she jumped and she just break the window of her room on the second floor , she went inside the room .
“ No ” I said and cried , the next thing I heard was screaming and shouting of people , she was roaring loud , people were dying . Adam was away from Rita’s house still Adam heard her voice .
“ I knew there was a werewolf , now everyone will believe me ” he stood up and said and he begin to prepare his weapons to hunt her down , while inside she was attacking people , she threw Steve out of the window , I went near to him , he was still alive .
“ Jack I am sorry ” he said holding my hand .
“ You will be all right ” I said .
“ Yeah I will be fine ” he said looking at his wounds “ there is a werewolf inside ” he added as I went more close towards the house . I left him there and went closer to the house
The next thing I heard was the firing of the bulletsRita was firing bullets at her , I could hear her screaming .
“ No , don’t shoot Olivia ” I shouted , I didn’t knew what was happening inside , I can just hear sounds , after I heard bullets I saw Olivia , she broke the window and jumped down from the second floor , she looked at me , she was about to strike me , she was looking at me I looked at her and closed my eyes but Rita fired at her from inside the house , she roared and she ran away .
Adam heard the voice , he was on the way driving his car , he looked towards Rita’s house , now he knows the position ,everyone was just screaming there .
I ran after Olivia in the woods , she was just running , I was following her , she was bleeding and I was following the blood marks , I saw Adam with the shot gun in the woods , I hid behind the trees .
Adam was searching for her , he was taking each step carefully , finally Adamfound Olivia , she was sitting and looking at her wounds .
“ You are not going anywhere tonight , they will believe me now” he said as he was aiming at her , he was about to shoot at her ,and I couldn’t let that happen , although he saved my life , yet I silently went behind him an
d I hit him with a stone at his head , he fell down unconscious
Olivia heard Adam’s voice she stood up and she came near me , she looked at me , and I stood still .
“ I have no problem dying by your hands , it will be pleasure dying at your hands ” I said with tears in my eyes and I just looked at her .
She was about to attack me , I assumed it as an end of my life but KellyandBelly came out of nowhere and they attacked her they bite at her feet , they saved my life , Kelly and Belly were fighting with her , they took her away from me and they saved me , she roared and ran away , I moved ahead and I saw Belly and Kelly there were large cuts over their bodies , they were really faithful .
I went to them , I touched them, they were screaming in pain as I went to them they looked at me “ everything will be all right I said to them ” and rubbed their fur “ now this has to end ” I said and moved ahead , I saw her going away , I followed her till I could follow but I didn’t knew where did she went away , I searched for her everywhere but I could not find her ,I dropped my coat in the hope that she will take it when she will turn into human to cover up her body .And I felled down unconscious .
Next morning when I woke up I went to Rita’s house everyone one was dead there in the house , there was blood all over there soon people begin to come to Rita’s house , her family was there , there was a big crowd , there was media there was press , police had covered the whole area , I was looking at all of this from a distance , every news channel made a different story about this incident , some said group of bears came down from mountains and killed all the humans they saw , some said there was a groups of wolfs , there were many stories on it , mom and dad also watched this on television , but they were happy as they knew I was alive and safe , they demanded me to return to New York , I promised to go back but I just requested few more days stay .
Press finally put the blame on Kelly and Belly press said that Kelly and Belly attacked these peoples and then they fight among themselves and they died , their bodies were found near Rita’s house ,
I returned back to woods , my coat was not at the place I dropped it , I was sure that Olivia wore it when she turned into a human ,I thought that she may have returned back to her house so I went to her house but she was not there some of her clothes were missing too , when I came out of her house I thought that I saw hersitting on the tree , I looked up but she was not there .
Adam again told the story of the Werewolf to the people, people just called it a story and no one believed him again he was sent to the mental asylum immediately , he was right but I could not speak the truth , that man saved my life but I didn’t helped him if I would have than police would have foundOlivia and would have send her to prison for the murder of these people, murders she did after loosing control over herself .
I waited for Olivia for 15 days there but she didn’t returned , I didn’t know where did she went away , she never told me about a place she could go .
At 15th mom come there and she forced me to return with her , the killing of Rita, Steve and her gang had made her afraid , she didn’t wanted me to live there anymore , she asked me about what happened to the car but I told that someone stole it, she asked me about Olivia and I just said she is on holidays she will return back , I made a lot of stories , finally with a heavy heart I too decided to go back to New York , I said good bye to my friend Gerard and gave him all my novels , along with that house to live in . He may have felt sad cause I left him , but he got the job of sheriff as the self-proclaimed sheriff , Adam was in Asylum , so Gerard , got job and house , I am sure that by now he would have got a girl too .
I had to go back to New York with my mother , when I sat on the car , I thought someone is looking at me but there was no one , Olivia wasn’t there this time too .
Escape
I came to New York , family was happy to have me there , even some of my family members gathered at my house to celebrate my return , Jason too was happy , I didn’t went to college, I used to remain alone , now I begin to draw , I begin to draw scathes of Olivia and I went to a tattoo shop and made a tattoo of Werewolf Olivia on my hand , I used to go to park at evening , I used to remember her and I used to draw her , even after coming to New York I begin to feel that someone is looking at me , someone is following me , I used to look at my car’s rear view mirror more than I used to look in the front ,I begin searching for her at nights , I was not sleeping at all , I begin to behave in an unusual manner in a manner people don’t behave really, the pain of separation was not easy for me to overcome ,people called me mad , my parents too thought that I am turning mad , they gave me many medicines , took me to many doctors unwillingly but nothing happened as I wasn’t mad , they tried everything now I am sent here to you ,now and you have to decide , whether to send me to asylum or not“ You are right , I have to decide whether to send you to asylum or not ” doctor said .
“ So what do you say now ? ” Jack asked .
“ I will say , It was quite an impressive story , I will surely clap for that , but it’s just a story ” .
It’s not a story , its truth , I told you the truth , Jack said in a loud voice .
“ Oh , really , I have seen people making stories about vampires and aliens to save their selves , you made about a Werewolf , what is difference here ?” .
“ I am not a suspect for a crime , why will I make a false story , no one is going to hang me ” .
“ Yeah , but they are going to send you to the mental asylum for that and a boy like you will not like to go inside a mental asylum so you are making this story ”.
“ Listen to me doc. Each and every word that came out of mouth was truth , you know that ”.
“ Each word that came out of mouth was truth ” he said in a funny way making fun of Jack.
“ So you don’t believe me now ? ” .
“ No one will believe you , I could not understand that , will a girl not talk to the boy she love for 24 days after she saw someone kissing her , that’s so stupid , I can believe a girl will not talk for 1 day or two day but twenty four days are much I can’t believe it ” .
“ She did that , I am not telling a lie , she got hurt , because she had a pure heart and yeah she was unsocial ” .
“ She loved you so much where is she then , how can she live away from you now ? ”
“ I don’t know where she is but I know she loves me and she will come for me ”.
“ Then wait for her In the mental asylum boy ” I am signing on the papers he said and signed on them , “ it’s done boy ” he said laughing , “nurse come here” he said and a nurse came inside .
“ Keep these papers on the drawer ” he said giving papers to her , Jack was unhappy he was looking down .
The nurse tear the paper away and Jack looked up in surprise .
“ Hey what did you just did ? ” doctor asked in anger .
“ I did what was right ”she said and went near Jack
“ Olivia ”Jacksaid and his eyes got lightened up .
“ Jack ” she said and kissed Jack.
“ Where wereyouOlivia?,I missed you , why did you did that to me ? ” .
“ I was with youevery timeJack , I came to New York following you and I went wherever you went because I loved you ”.
“ How did you came to New York ? ”.
“ I bought the ticket from my savings , I love you Jack, see I came for you ” she said and kissed Jack again .
“ All right fine , it’s a nice play , I must clap now , how many dollars have you given to this cheap actress?”. doctor asked smiling .
“ Will you teach him a lesson? ”Jackasked and smiled looking at her .
“Yeah I will ” she said and went near to doctor .
“ Wait , what are you going to do ”. doctor asked Olivia he looked afraid .
“ Just going to shake hands with you ”.
“ All right ” he said Olivia hold her hand , and his hand begin to burn.
“ Oh wh

“ What do you say now doctor ? ” she asked .
“ Leave me , leave me I believe you ” doctor cried .
“ Let’s go Jack ” Olivia said .
“ Take care doctor ”Jack said and both of them went away and went to the parking lot .
“ Which one is your car ? ” Olivia asked .
“ Grey Ferrari , hey Olivia , you are looking extremely gorgeous , it’s great to be with you again ” Jack said and Olivia came near him and kissed him .
