The Werewolf's Little Seducer

A Thousand years after Derek received the prophecy that Lucia was the one to kill him, finally Lucia was born.

Lucia was already 22 years and was already a graduate but had no male or other female friends except from Daniella. She grew up in a peaceful, loving family, and she has grown up to be a good girl aside from fighting those who wants to harm her. Some even compared her to an untainted snow, well and pure, but some mocked her, calling her little Monster.

As she was growing up, Lucia had gotten used to most people mocking her, but her grandparents always encouraged and advised her not to let the words of people break her down. She was trained not to keep a negative mindset, and she has decided that there was no way she would let those people break her down.

She had her reason of why she had never had any male friend, even now that she is already 22 years. When she was 17 she realized that she had developed a trauma, she never wanted to become use to any male friend because she just doesn't want anyone to miss her when she was gone. Her illness was never getting better by the day. It was incurable.

Lucia had witnessed how her grandparents missed her parents every day. She understood what it meant to lose the ones we love. She witnessed her grandparents crying countless times at night without them noticing it. It pained her whenever her grandparents cry, holding her parent's picture. It was so unbearable for her, that's why she wouldn't want anyone to get so attached to her. Seeing Danielle, her childhood best friend makes her cry because she knew how lonely her friend would be when she is no more.

She also overheard her grandmother saying that the world was meaningless to her, and that she would prefer death to torture. That was when she realized that she was the reason her grandparents were still living but what about when she dies by that deadly sickness?

Days later after Lucia's birth, her both parents died just for the prophecy to be fulfilled. When she was 17, she was told that her mother died of an incurable sickness, and it happened that she inherited that same illness from her mother. While her father died in a car accident after he heard the death news of his newly married wife.

Ever since she knew about her illness, she had been battling with it. She was just 17 that time, and she knew that, just like her mother, she just has 5 more years to live. It was so painful that her mother died very early that she had just little or no memory of her mother or father.

Knowing that she would not live long, she decided to stay far from boys. She never wanted to get married, not because she does not wish to, but because she just doesn't want to make any one pass through what her grandparents were passing through. Because of that, whenever any male friend approach her, all she could say was "sorry, I am not interested". She did all she could to avoid boys, that was why she sometimes dresses off and also love beating up boys that crosses her path.

However, as years passes by, Lucia began to question herself.

" Is this how I will die?

The desire that she had been suppressing all this while was getting out of control. She had been dreaming of wanting to express how it feels to love someone. Though, she was loved by her grandparents, Daniella, and the children at the orphanage where she normally goes whenever she is bored and whenever Daniella wasn't there to keep her company.

Lucia wanted to experience how it feels to have butter flies in one's belly and how it would feel to spend some time with that particular person you cherish.

She had read so many kinds of books that has to do with love, so she could not help it but to wish she could experience the so-called love before she dies.

That was her only wish, to have someone she could love, even not being loved back. At least, in that way, she wouldn't make anyone miss her when she is gone.

But she was torn, and worried sick. For years, she had been thinking about it and she thought she had already accepted her fate but now that her due date was getting closer, the desire in her heart only kept on getting stronger. She decided to be brave and try her best to make her wish come true with the little time she had left.

The only way she could fulfill her wish was to track down a man who she will fall in love with but would never fall in love with her. Maybe she was looking for a statue.

She had read and heard about one-sided love, she also heard that those kinds of love were very painful, she never thought of that aspect, but she still needed it. If this was the only way to experience falling in love, she would gladly throw herself in it, no matter what it takes. She thought that not been loved back in return was something she could handle on her own and she would prefer it that way rather than not even experiencing what love really mean. She had remembered a book she once read that has a quote on it which says "it is better to have love and lost, than never to have love at all.

Lucia decided to share her situation online as an anonymous but here is what someone said concerning her situation.

"Since you don't want anyone to fall in love with you, why not just pick a random bad guy? I mean there are a lot of jerk and heartless idiot out there who only know how to break hearts "

When she read it, she decided to try it, but her fear was what if that heartless idiot falls for her at the end?

She had just a year now, and she was doing just fine. Everyone around her never knew about her illness not even Daniella except from her grandparents.

Lucia knew that her illness will worsen in the 5th year and also, she knew that she was running out of time, still, yet she had not still seen that one heartless guy.

Lucia sat on a chair while the children were outside playing. It was her spare time at work. She needed to think. All that happened that faithful night she met Derek by coincident at a garage where she parked her car never left her head. She could remember how she was humiliated when she walked up to a stranger, telling him she wants to be his girlfriend. When she remembered how he called her unattractive, she just couldn't believe she really did such a thing.

She actually did something so outrageous like that? Now that she pondered about it, she could not explain where she got her bravery to approach him, even seeing the kind of man he is. Was she really desperate?

Lucia was aware that what she did that very day was pure madness, offering herself to be his girlfriend. Deep in her heart, she didn't regret it but for the fact that, that stranger rejected her, unexpectedly motivated her. She thought that the kind of man she was looking for was him. A heartless man who didn't fall for anyone. She didn't know why, but she believed him when he told her that he does not do love and never would. Maybe because she saw the truth in his eyes when he made that statement. She didn't know why she believed him, or perhaps she felt that the man has an icy heart that would never ever melt.

But was it possible for her to fall for such an icy man? She wondered. Was it possible to love a man who is so cold, so cold that her poor harmless heart would tremble. She couldn't tell but, like Eve in the Bible, she wanted to taste the forbidden fruit even though she was aware that it might cause her pain.

"Besides, didn't they say love is blind? So, my case will not be different," she said.

At this point, her self to be careful because there was no need for it. She had nothing to be afraid of because she knew she would be dying soon and if she doesn't do it now, she will never do it, so she decided to take the risk.

When she got back home from the orphanage where she worked for free after her graduation, she got home and her family were already waiting for her in the living room, watching their favorite movie channel.

They all had a peaceful and pleasant dinner before Lucia went to her room to have a peaceful refreshment.

After taking her shower, she laid on her bed. She had been thinking about that man all night, even when she was in the shower. Strangely, she couldn't stop. Was it because he rejected her? Maybe probably not. Or It was because of his ever striking experience. The probability was high.

Lucia couldn't help because she thought he wasn't real as she remembers every feature of his face, it couldn't get off her head. She then went to the place where she hid what that blue leather jacket man gave her, lifted the note and stared at it for a while.

As she lay on her bed with the note in her arm, her eyes drifted close. The next thing she knew was the sun streaming through her windows.

She rose and did her usual routine, dressed her bed and helped her grandmother prepare breakfast. Her grandmother didn't like the fact that Lucia had helped her with the breakfast, but she doesn't have any choice but to allow the girl help her because her strength was beginning to fail her.

After eating breakfast, she got ready for work and gave her grandparents a goodbye kiss before she drove back to the city at the orphanage.

Lucia's grandparents got her a car not too expensive to run her daily activities and meanwhile Daniella and her parents were no longer living close to Lucia but instead, they now stay in the city.

Her job at the orphanage was free, she wasn't paid, but it didn't bother her because she volunteered herself. She was told that her parents also volunteered themselves to work at the orphanage before they died. So for that reason, she wanted to be as good as her parents and more over, she loves children that's why she didn't see it stressful in being around children.

Her job was mainly assisting teachers during class time, she was assigned to read books to the kids during weekdays, except from Fridays, and she loved the nature of her job. She had grown to care very much about children and treated them like her family. She was pleased doing those things for as long as she was able.

It was Monday, so the children who haven't seen her for 2 days were so happy to see her. They embraced her as soon as they saw her walking in the building.

" Miss Lucia, we missed you"

Said one of the kids called Beauty, and she was the youngest and was Lucia's favorite. She kissed Lucia at the side of her chick and hugged her, so tight like a child would hold its Teddy, preventing it from been touched by some people who wished to harm the Teddy.

" I missed you all too"

Lucia reacted to the hug with a smile on her face.

" Now let's go inside, your teacher will be coming soon.

Lucia assisted Mrs Blessing, the kids' teacher. The whole day, She read them a story with the tittle" the cute prince". After the class was over, Lucia walked to a coffee shop near the orphanage.

She had sent Daniella a message last night telling her that she wanted to tell her about something, so they chose the coffee shop as their meeting point.

" How are you? You were pretty drunk last night. Lucia looked at Daniella with a raised brow as she spoke.

Daniella was no longer the little girl she used to be, she was now grown up, and it was as if she took over Kelly's strength. Beating whoever that tries getting on her way.

(smiling) "do I look that bad?" She tried rubbing her face with her both hands. This time around, she was makeup free.

"Yes off course."

"Don't lie Lucia. I made sure I slept well." She huffed and Lucia could only chuckle.

Her friend Daniella was strikingly rich, she didn't know why the both of them who were worlds apart became best of friends.

Daniella, during her years in college, she was envied by many. She was pretty, super rich and had numerous suitors. However, she was alone. Only boys who want to hit on her approach her, unlike the girls who were so much afraid of her because of her father's wealth and her new way of fighting those she sees as a threat. Lucia really did a fantastic job on Daniella. Daniella was no longer the soft girl she used to be back then, she knew that for her to survive, she had to fight.

Back in the school, the students see and call Lucia Daniella's maid, and she wouldn't blame them because she really did look like a maid. She could not compare herself to the daughter of one of the richest men. Lucia didn't mind them because she knew that Daniella was a good person and will continue to be her friend, regardless of what people say.

Daniella improved in her fighting skills when she realized that Lucia was spoken harshly by people because they see her as a pretender. Someone who pretends to be a saint. But they were wrong, Lucia wasn't pretending but instead, she was being the good girl she already was.

Daniella knew that Lucia wasn't the fashion type, she decided to plead with Lucia to give her the chance to make her look good, but Lucia refused. At least, that will reduce the level of humiliation she was getting from her fellow girls. Daniella pleaded and pleaded, but Lucia kept on refusing. The poor girl had no option but to give up.

" What is the issue? I am getting scared already. You, calling me out like this, is so rare." Daniella sipped her drink as she looked at her friend with a narrowed eye.

Letting out a deep sigh, Daniella pressed her lips tightly as she looked at her friend.

"Daniella, I have found a man." Daniella choked hearing those words.

" Careful, sip gently."

"(coughing) what did you say? You found a man? You?" Daniella couldn't believe what she just heard.

" Calm down, don't be too loud."

" Oh my God, how can I be calm now? You .... My innocent Lucia finally found a man she likes?!"

"Well, I don't know if I like him but...... He is the man I have been looking for and ...... He is the man I want. Before I forget, so tell me, how did your mother get to know about those information you gave me?"

"Please do not change the topic because I am not in, sorry to disappoint you."

" I am not trying to change topic, and I haven't said I will not tell you."

"OK fine!"

Daniella had to play along because if she refuses, Lucia would end up not telling her what she needed to hear and Daniella wouldn't let that happen. She can't suffer the pain of hearing an incomplete story. Daniella loves such discussion and would not just like ending up hearing a part of It.

"You found a man?" Daniella tried bringing up the issue to see if Lucia would give in but her plan failed.

"I wouldn't fall to that, so better behave."

" OK, fine, my mother made some research using my phone."

I don't really think those things exist. Like... I know wolf exist, but I Don't know this werewolf exists."

"I am serious. They do dear."

" OK."

"I have answered you, so please continue."

Mercy paid attention to listen attentively as if she was listening to a wicked lecturer.

IN THE KINGDOM OF WITCHES,

The few witches who embarked on a journey just arrived. The people seeing the worries in their eyes began to tremble in fear even without been told of what had happened.

"Where is the queen?" Felicia, who was hand of the queen, asked.

Her eyes revolved around the people standing in front of her to see if she could find her queen, but the result made a drop of tear want to fall out.

" No, this can't be, I felt it, I actually felt it, but couldn't do anything to stop it".

She fell with her knees, crying so bitterly. Someone should talk to me.

" It shouldn't be what I am thinking, no!"

She screamed out loud. If crying could bring her queen back to her, trust me, her cry alone would do.

" where is the queen????? Can someone please tell me what's going on?"

She stood up, wiping the tears in her eyes, and walked towards the 4 witches.

" Where are they?" she griped the shirt of one of the Wizard, please say something".

"Calm down, we need to discuss this but not here. Let's go inside."

Felicia managed to wipe her tears and hurried inside, she was too anxious on hearing what they needed to say, she imagined what they wanted to tell her and her heart was not ready for it, but she needed to hear it.

IN THE HIDDEN SIDE OF THE WORLD,

Thousands of years, these unknown creatures had tried their possible best to rule the world but because of the existence of Derek, they just couldn't succeed. Derek was a god that was feared by many.

"For years now, we have not heard or seen Isaac and Mushard, if they should fail in this mission, I don't think we have anything left anymore, it will simply mean that we are doomed. The absence of Isaac has made you all useless. Now, before I close and open my eyes again, you all have disappeared."

Due to the fear they had for their master, they all ran away to hide themselves to avoid being turned into a cockroach.

"Bunch of fools." He walked towards his chamber, frustrated. Everything he had worked for, he saw it coming to an end. If his two servants does not return, that means he had waited for years in vain. What got him more frustrated was loosing a servant, after Isaac warned them not to touch anything, but the mistake has been made and the dead can't come back.

IN THE COUNTRY OF WEREWOLF S

"He shall continue to be our slave, he feels it would be better not to confess."

Mushard had already become slave to the werewolves. He had refused to confess for some time now. The king had made his people believe that he does not shed blood if not necessary. That was why they took Mushard as their prisoner instead of killing him. The king suspected Mushard but couldn't give a verdict without any evidence.

As for Isaac, he was still trying his best to accomplish his mission, and he promised him self never to return to his king in the hidden side of the world unless he had accomplished his mission.
