Chapter 10: Chapter 10

The worst thing I could tell is that she knew she was going to die.

I push her and I get up, the old lady holds my leg and bites me, I take the lamp and I hit her in the head, I run to my room and I lock the door.

- Louis! ( Screams)

-- I'm going to kill all of you...

- I know, I've got an idea

I open my bag and i take out a bottle of water, i'll bring down the water and the barrier breaks.

- Come to me, you old.

Sandra throws herself on top of the various blows leaving the same bewildered.

I'm in my room behind the door holding the book.

- Where's Ana?

- She's in her room,but where's Louis? Is he the only one who can kill it here?

- I don't know where he is.

- Stay at the door,and I'm going to try to distract you.

- All right.

Zyan turns into a panther his eyes turn an orange red.

The old woman pushes Sandra to the wall.

- You're weaker than I thought, it's not nice to fight you.

- Leave Ana alone (gets up)

- And who's going to make me stick?

The old woman lets out an evil smile and goes towards the rooms, Sandra tries to stop her bad is in vain.

The Lady looks forward to Zyan and closes her fists, Zyan roars and attacks her.

She falls to the ground on her knees and raises her head.

Zyan decreases in size and becomes cat again.

- Too bad outside your house you can't become a panther,what kind of guardian are you? Don't you two give one.

She gets up and runs towards Zyan.

- Stay away from Ana.

The same one grabs Zyan by the neck and looks into her eyes.

-- You're just a stoother... Louis needs helpers to do, you're a disgrace.

She throws Zyan with everything to the living room and he ends up banging his head and fainting.

- Ana... You want to play hide-and-seek? Then it's my turn to look for her.

I'm too scared,I drag my bookcase to the door making a lock,even though I know it's not going to help.

I go to my bed and i sit on the floor, my tears are falling, I can't help it.

I hear the sound of your nails getting closer and closer, I take a deep breath to calm down.

Everything goes silent for a moment, I get up slowly and hold the book in one hand.

Toc, Toc, Toc.

- Open the door Ana, I've been nice to you so far, did you realize that Louis was the only one who wasn't there? Is it worth going through all this? He claims to be your Savior but he's not here to save you, is it worth risking your life like this? I came to help you Ana you have to stop being naïve... open your eyes

The old woman starts knocking too the door, the bookcase starts to come out of place, the lock won't be able to hold for long.

I can't say a word, the lock breaks and the old woman opens the door.

I stand by the window and she comes running, acts me, closes my eyes and embraces the book with all my strength.

- Where are you, Louis? ( Thought)

I feel a strong wind, I open my eyes and I see Louis transformed into a demon, he holds the old woman by the neck.

- I told you to stay away from her... but you can be so stubborn

Your voice is unrecognizable.

The old woman approaches her ears and whispers.

- She will die, and you will not be able to save her, and you will be condemned for it... your mistake was to keep that book..

Louis- I'm already doomed.

The old woman starts to catch fire until she disappears completely, I kneel looking at him.

Louis turns to me, even transformed his look does not change, inside that monster still has The Louis.

He comes up to me and crouches down and looks into my eyes.

- Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

- Yes... I am fine. (Voice fails)

He wipes my tears and puts a little lock of my hair behind my ear.

- I'm sorry for the delay, I wouldn't forgive myself if anything happened to you.

We went into the living room and Sandra was holding Zyan in her lap.

- Are you all right?

- I'm sorry, I should be here... It was my fault.

- Ana to Sandra is my helper, if I don't get there in time I have her.

- why didn't you tell me that?

- I...

- She wanted to tell me, I didn't let her, she can blame me if you want.

- And where were you? Zyan got hurt and you weren't here.

- But I'm here.

- Do you want to appear in the 10 seconds of the second half?

- I didn't mean to...

- Forget it...

- You're hurt...

My life gets blurry and I pass out.

Hours later I wake up in a huge bed, I've been here... the door opens and Zyan appears transformed into a panther.

- How good that you're awake, how do you feel?

- A little dizzy.

- The old woman had the poison in her teeth when she bit you the same passed to you, but it was not so deep, if not you were dead.

- Where's Louis?

- He's not...

- I need to... me...

- You don't have to apologize, it's okay.

- I shouldn't have talked like that, he's always putting his life at risk.

- Actually, you're the one doing this, not him.

- Yet my words were harsh.

- He understands you Ana, it's not easy in your place, survive every day, so don't worry about anything.

- Did you get hurt? ( I look at the paw of it)

- No big deal, try to get some rest, I'll be back with something for you to eat...

Zyan leaves the room and I look at my leg, I keep remembering what had happened earlier, it would be nice if I could lose my memories, and i can't remember anything else.

______

- From now on it's only going to get worse.

- This is no longer a safe place, she's going to have to move in with me from today.

- Is she mad at me?

- Of course not, she knows you and she knows you'd tell her everything, but this was my deal, don't blame yourself for that.
