Chapter 3

  • Hazel's POV
  • " Umera, Umera? "
  • I called his name, many times already but he was looking at my face, silent.
  • I shook his hand, and he finally smiled.
  • " Sorry, I was thinking of something "
  • He said then covered me gently under the blanket.
  • " Please rest, I'll guard you until you fall asleep"
  • He said then grabbed the plate, spoon and began to feed me.
  • I smiled then ate what he gave me.
  • I was so tired, suddenly I slept.
  • ...............
  • The next morning
  • " Good morning my sunflower "
  • I felt Umera kiss on my forehead that I wake up smiling.
  • I smell his great cooking, my stomach begging me for some food.
  • " I can eat by myself "
  • I said half smiling, I like to be fed by him actually.
  • " I like feeding you"
  • He simply said with his great smiling face.
  • After I finished my meal he grabbed me into his hug, placed a kiss on my hair.
  • " I love you so much"
  • He said
  • " I know, I know, I love you too"
  • I replied, I'm sad, I really love him, but I can't do anything to disobey my father.
  • Suddenly we heard a scream from outside, Umera is wearing his clothes fast, I was doing the same.
  • " Take your time, you're still tired, I'll go check and come back quickly"
  • He said then ran away outside, I hear so much noise that I was extremely curious about what is happening.
  • I finally outside Umera's room, I walked towards the crowd, then I placed my hand on my mouth.
  • It was rob.
  • My fiance, it's only his head.
  • " It was your doing! I know you're the killer! "
  • my dad is screaming in the crowd points his finger at Umera.
  • " You're the killer! "
  • " Let's burn him "
  • " Catch him! "
  • The villagers were angry, trying to grab his hand, I screamed.
  • " Stop! Umera is not the killer! "
  • No one cares about what am I saying.
  • " We slept with each other! He is not the killer! "
  • I raised my voice this time, they were disgusted by my words.
  • " What are you saying in front of the villagers you dirty! "
  • My dad screamed and slapped me hard that I knocked on the ground.
  • " You're grounded, staying in your room until your punishment "
  • He said and grabbed my hair while pointing at Umera.
  • " Lock up this bastard until I come "
  • " Noo ! "
  • I screamed but I was taken away.
  • " Hazel! "
  • I heard Umera's scream but I couldn't do anything.
  • .................
  • I was locked up in my own room for a while now, for about 9 hours.
  • It was dark outside already I decided I'll sneak out the window, no one will see me running away.
  • Maybe Umera's in prison again.
  • I jumped out the window and it wasn't hard.
  • Actually someone caught me.
  • " Umera? "
  • I said and he was smiling at me, his face has some blood on it.
  • His mouth dripping blood.
  • His eyes were shining with their silver color.
  • " Did they hurt you? "
  • He asked me to put myself on my feet, I took a nice look at him, I'm the one that should be worried.
  • " Come with me, I'll clean you up "
  • I said then went to the village well.
  • I grabbed the water from the bucket start to clean his beautiful face that's not smiling anymore.
  • " Did he hurt you? "
  • He asked me again and I shook my head.
  • " You're covered in blood and you ask me? Umera, you don't know how much I was worried "
  • I said and he smiled again or forced himself to smile.
  • " I'm okay, they didn't hurt me that much "
  • He said while I was cleaning his body, looking around me.
  • Strangely, no one is around.
  • " Let's get back to the village, we're going to explain that you didn't kill Rob "
  • I said and grabbed his hand after he got dressed.
  • But he didn't move.
  • " Hazel"
  • " Hmm? "
  • " Let's run away together "
  • He said to me with empty eyes, I blinked two times.
  • " Umera I said I can't run away from my family "
  • I said and he grabbed my both arms to hug me.
  • " I know Hazel, but they don't like me, they will kill me, you don't know what they were doing to me in that prison "
  • He said in a sad tune and I pat on his back trying to look at his crying face.
  • " Umera, I "
  • " Please Hazel, You're the only one I care about "
  • He said and I kissed his lips.
  • " If that would make you feel better, I'll go get my things "
  • I said while crying for thinking for running away because of him.
  • " No ! "
  • He grabbed my arm to stop me.
  • I looked at him in fear.
  • " You can't go there! Let's just leave! Please"
  • He said and I pushed him away.
  • " Umera! It will take a minute please wait here! "
  • I said but he hugged me from my back.
  • " Hazel stop, I don't want to hurt you "
  • He said while kissing my neck, I panicked, why he doesn't want me to go to the village.
  • I hit him with my elbow to break free, he tried to get me again I grabbed the well's bucket then hit him with it strong enough, finally he let go dripping blood from his head.
  • I shivered while running back to the village.
  • " Where is everyone? "
  • I said in fear while looking in every direction, room.
  • " Father! Brother! "
  • I start screaming, no one answered, suddenly I saw some smoke in front of me.
  • I went to check, there's a pile of dead villagers inside the fire.
  • I fell to the ground, saw my father's head in front of me, burning.
  • " I was generous enough to not eat them completely, you should appreciate it "
  • I heard Umera's voice from behind me, I looked in his direction in fear.
  • " You, you killed them! "
  • I cried and he was looking at me, his face full of blood.
  • " Are you the one who killed my finances as well! My dad was right about you from the start! "
  • I said screaming, standing on my feet.
  • The atmosphere was filled with smoke smell, dead burned bodies laying, I started to vomit.
  • " Those idiots hurt you, they treated you badly, I did that for you, for your safety "
  • He said while trying to grab my hand, I slapped him on his face.
  • " What you did is horrible! Do you think I'll appreciate it? I was happy to obey my father, to marry someone rich to make him proud, now what! You thought I'll love you more now! "
  • I screamed and pushed his chest, he looked at me sadly.
  • " We don't have to hide our love now, look at us, just you and me, we will run from here, make our village, full of sunflowers, away from everyone "
  • He said while opening his hands for me so I can hug him.
  • Like hell I do.
  • " You're the villagers killer ! You, "
  • I was lost for words, started to vomit again, the idea of making love with a killer and a psycho.
  • " You're vomiting too much, you should rest"
  • He said trying to hold me, I slapped his hands away then started to run.
  • " Hazel stop! Hazel please "
  • I kept hearing him from behind, I went through the trees trying to reach the street from here.
  • " Please someone help me! "
  • I kept screaming and he kept running after me.
  • I looked at the full moon with tears filling my face.
  • " God "
  • I said while tripping falling badly,
  • I was about to shout, I think I broke my arm.
  • I tried to stay calm, so Umera can't find me.
  • Suddenly I saw a large grey wolf with silver eyes is approaching me.
  • I backed away in fear screaming from my broking arm.
  • The wolf came closer to my face, he is about to eat me.
  • I shut my eyes tight before I felt a large lick on my face.
  • I opened my eyes and saw the wolf changing, I saw it's turning into a human.
  • His face.
  • He is Umera.
  • " Your arm is broken "
  • He said trying to make me stand.
  • I almost reach the street, there are many cars there I can ask for help.
  • " I was so scared that I'll lose you "
  • He said while holding me tight.
  • My legs where shaking, he is wolf! A werewolf!
  • " You killed my family "
  • I said while looking at the cars.
  • " I did that in order to survive, they always treated me as a monster "
  • He said while breaking the hug to look at me.
  • " Let's go, Hazel, we'll find a shelter, and we'll fix your arm "
  • He said and I smiled at him with no emotions.
  • " Sure, let's do that "
  • I said and he smiled while walking in front of me.
  • Without thinking I ran towards the cars.
  • " HAZEL !!!! "
  • That's the last thing I heard before The car hit me so hard.
  • I was inside Umera's hug, covering in my blood.
  • " No no, HAZEL, you can't leave me, you can't die! Please "
  • I closed my eyes holding the tears.
  • " Noo ! "
  • I passed out.
