Chapter 9 Fatal Attraction

Chapter 09

"My grandfather told me that when he was a child, villages in the middle of the forest were attacked by stronger beings, villages of humans, killing those who stayed, but letting others flee, the fight was for territory" he stopped, ran a hand through his hair and continued "It sounds crazy, but these warriors were known as the Guardians of the Forest, powerful and fearless beings who protected both humans and the peaceful werewolves that inhabited the region. My grandfather continued the story, a nostalgic glint in his eye. He said that the Guardians of the Forest were legendary, possessing superhuman strength and special abilities that allowed them to take on any foe. They were a kind of liaison between humans and werewolves, working tirelessly to maintain peace and harmony in the forest. These two great warriors, whose names were etched in my grandfather's memory, were Bruno, and Luna. They banded together to combat the vicious werewolf threat and led a fierce war against him and his army. It was an epic battle, with fierce fighting and ancient magic being employed by the Guardians. With unwavering courage, Bruno and Luna faced the evil leader of the werewolves and, after an intense battle, managed to defeat him. However, the victory came at a high cost. Both Guardians of the Forest say that Luna and Bruno are alive and that there is a treaty so that werewolves do not live with humans and that my family continues to preserve this treaty in case anyone gets in our midst".

"Gerson was with you and very drunk, I saw the guy transform into the I don't know how to receive so much strange information, it was something scary that him turning into a big monster" Luana let out a sigh punishing herself in thought for being excited with the transformation, realizing that the fear was in the background, "I don't think we should think about killing, exterminating, putting an end, these ideas are confused, we don't know what he is, nor what he wants, why are we going to think about killing? That's not what we came to do, we came to study"

"I'm sorry" he said slowing down "but I've heard all my life about a legend and now knowing that it's real makes me dizzy, my grandfather said that in the war between werewolves a baby was taken by fugitives, it was Luna and Bruno's baby, and that this baby was sacrificed in revenge, I don't know if the boy is good or not".

"We need to know a little more" she said "Before we do anything, your grandfather must know the location, we could reach these people, investigate, get to know them better and maybe even find out that we were very drunk. "

"I confess that it wasn't bad, but I was drunk, I didn't ask anything that would lead us to them, I was excited to discover that they were real, that we are not alone and that I have a purpose connected that I didn't ask questions about the present. "

"Okay" said Luana sitting next to him again "Because your grandfather is alive, let's go there".

"Yes, let's score".

"No, let's go now, we're here with nothing to do, you're in the car, nothing's stopping us, it's still early".

" Now?"

"Yeah, this isn't the kind of thing we leave for later, don't you want to find out more?" .

"OK, let's go".

Luana managed to convince Gerson, the two were excited and taken by the desire to know about the supernatural, the idea that the human species was not alone involved them, Gerson for discovering that he was a guardian by inheritance and Luana for feeling increasingly stronger a physical attraction for him that exceeded his understanding and instincts, feeling the need to know him and understand what was happening and why he felt fear and desire for that large and bizarre form that he had seen.

On the way they turned on the car stereo, they were singing and talking excitedly about what they could see and experience from then on, Luana wanted to discover herself with the discovery and then as a future doctor she wanted to study and know everything she could, the hearts of both they burned curious and anxious for the new discovery. They were also afraid, commenting on the speed at which the werewolf ran that day and the supposed strength it should have, even feeling a fear freezing their hearts but being moved by curiosity continuing the endeavor and arriving at the house of Gerson's grandparents excited .

When they arrived at Gerson's grandparents' house Luana found a light and relaxed atmosphere, it was a large farm located in the middle of the field, there were corn and other cereal plantations, showing the family's income, the lights were on and when they approached from the door they realized that there were many people in the house, due to the amount of voices they heard, which left Gerson a little embarrassed.

"My family members are playful, I think it's better to wait a bit to get in, because they'll go crazy when they find out I came with a woman".

"Okay, but don't forget I want to know some history too."

Gerson walked in excited, Luana could hear a mix of voices greeting him and commenting on what he had seen and told his grandfather, it seemed that everyone knew about the discovery they had made and wanted details, she could hear the questions that were asked about the werewolf , but she didn't quite understand the comments made by the answers, becoming interested in knowing what they were talking about about the color of his fur, not containing herself and entering unannounced through the door that took her to the kitchen where everyone was talking, wearing a wide smile on her face .

Everyone stopped talking, directing attention and glances at her, who imagined that their scared expression, as well as the angry hormones must be because of her appearance, different from conventional women.

"This is my friend" Gerson said approaching her, not understanding his family's reaction to Luana "It's okay guys she knows everything" he said trying to break the ice, but not succeeding.

"What a joke this Gerson is, because she revealed our house to one of them, she is not your friend, she is your enemy."
