"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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAYs9o3lBeEX
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAdkS06Qv5tw
"I have to leave," Markus said, breaking the stillness. "Take...."128Please respect copyright.PENANAM6BaWBdY8V
"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.128Please respect copyright.PENANArCU530pqox
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANADSS9P4UjJI
"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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAAmYxEChZ6o
Markus remained mute as he began to suffocate. Maria was pleased since she misinterpreted his silence as a YES.128Please respect copyright.PENANA9OE22yKCXN
"Where are we going?" She urged him, a foolish smile on her face.128Please respect copyright.PENANAIXBHybaggL
"You should return," he grumbled.128Please respect copyright.PENANAazYL1DcmVX
"No!" Maria was adamant.128Please respect copyright.PENANAR4Kh0OKygZ
"I'm not as gentle as you believe," he cautioned.128Please respect copyright.PENANAIWeM06QeoW
"And I don't mind."
Markus growled, then slammed her against a tree, pinning her arms above her head.128Please respect copyright.PENANAgaVctw4BUV
"Don't even think about it!" He gave a snarl.128Please respect copyright.PENANA4i5uEgsbnx
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.128Please respect copyright.PENANAoOYFkiLO9d
Markus closed his eyes and drew back. His back to her as he battled to maintain control. Damn! He was going insane. He mumbled.128Please respect copyright.PENANAtl7Kr9qR1I
"Fine!" he exclaimed. "You are welcome to come with me."128Please respect copyright.PENANASY7LKW25pz
He said this and walked away as if attempting to avoid death.128Please respect copyright.PENANAOmepnqKHsq
Maria gasped for air as she watched him walk away. What in the world just happened? Is he really alright?128Please respect copyright.PENANAP7iNZDq6qO
