"You think I'd forgotten you?" Maria smirked, her hands on her sides. "Why did you leave the cave, and who are you?" she asked. "You scared me, gosh!" She exclaimed as she examined him from head to toe. "Tell me, where do you live now?" she screamed. "And where has your wolf gone?" As she remembered the wolf, she yelled.199Please respect copyright.PENANAsM2Zs0ILzi
Markus stood there silently, watching Maria prattle away and staring at her expressionlessly as she stopped talking. They exchanged a few seconds of silence as they glanced at each other.199Please respect copyright.PENANAa3xth6Qv42
"I have to leave," Markus said, breaking the stillness. "Take...."199Please respect copyright.PENANAfJMtd2Qhyu
"Ouch!" Maria exclaimed as she dropped herself to the ground, holding her feet, winced, and wailed in an attempt to elicit Markus' sympathy.
"Be careful," Markus replied harshly, without looking down at her feet. The longer he stayed, the more he became hungrier for blood. Markus' mouth moistened as he smelled her blood drifting through the air like a carabao mango.199Please respect copyright.PENANANLQkDBQQs2
Markus abruptly turned away and began walking away. He was on the verge of losing control. His limbs tensed, and his eyes turned bright red as if suffering from smoke. He moved quickly, wanting to escape temptation.
"You!" Maria's eyes almost sprang out of their sockets when Markus abruptly walked away. She jumped to her feet and dashed after him.199Please respect copyright.PENANAgawrwra9uf
"Why are you leaving me in the woods? I'm not sure where I should go." Maria sighed, "Please take me with you." She begged.199Please respect copyright.PENANA5FCcDXcQcT
Markus remained mute as he began to suffocate. Maria was pleased since she misinterpreted his silence as a YES.199Please respect copyright.PENANAyKh04hHbf2
"Where are we going?" She urged him, a foolish smile on her face.199Please respect copyright.PENANAx66oGm1KSJ
"You should return," he grumbled.199Please respect copyright.PENANANAaJmICdQS
"No!" Maria was adamant.199Please respect copyright.PENANAoeIRjA7qNA
"I'm not as gentle as you believe," he cautioned.199Please respect copyright.PENANAl15WQ25pV8
"And I don't mind."
Markus growled, then slammed her against a tree, pinning her arms above her head.199Please respect copyright.PENANAE2MtofMJ1G
"Don't even think about it!" He gave a snarl.199Please respect copyright.PENANAb7LDXyjk0c
Maria was horrified when she noticed his fiery eyes, which appeared like a volcanic eruption. His vein sprang under his thick skin, and he stiffened up slightly.
"Are...Are you okay?" she asked terror on her face.199Please respect copyright.PENANAuIKvGGeGpZ
Markus closed his eyes and drew back. His back to her as he battled to maintain control. Damn! He was going insane. He mumbled.199Please respect copyright.PENANAqaz7v7wNrh
"Fine!" he exclaimed. "You are welcome to come with me."199Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Dc5LIPuE
He said this and walked away as if attempting to avoid death.199Please respect copyright.PENANA5j3sy7s7fe
Maria gasped for air as she watched him walk away. What in the world just happened? Is he really alright?199Please respect copyright.PENANAjLTB8Fa6Fw
