"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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAmi3bfKuPGp
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANABwdYKVd4FW
"I have to leave," Markus said, breaking the stillness. "Take...."187Please respect copyright.PENANAs8wJaWZ0iL
"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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAehCQdY7BPe
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAYB4Fy1Sx2z
"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.187Please respect copyright.PENANAOgXJUsKlD9
Markus remained mute as he began to suffocate. Maria was pleased since she misinterpreted his silence as a YES.187Please respect copyright.PENANAzlCJafX6ya
"Where are we going?" She urged him, a foolish smile on her face.187Please respect copyright.PENANAwdg4A38kdQ
"You should return," he grumbled.187Please respect copyright.PENANAS5sb3ai2tg
"No!" Maria was adamant.187Please respect copyright.PENANAVjTxpA4aOc
"I'm not as gentle as you believe," he cautioned.187Please respect copyright.PENANAJId5AHP5kV
"And I don't mind."
Markus growled, then slammed her against a tree, pinning her arms above her head.187Please respect copyright.PENANAl5Zi56f6l7
"Don't even think about it!" He gave a snarl.187Please respect copyright.PENANA81bxOve8HG
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.187Please respect copyright.PENANA6KAErdTPLy
Markus closed his eyes and drew back. His back to her as he battled to maintain control. Damn! He was going insane. He mumbled.187Please respect copyright.PENANA6vbdO4CUmZ
"Fine!" he exclaimed. "You are welcome to come with me."187Please respect copyright.PENANA8HZiLl7H3M
He said this and walked away as if attempting to avoid death.187Please respect copyright.PENANAkGCJBVg4C1
Maria gasped for air as she watched him walk away. What in the world just happened? Is he really alright?187Please respect copyright.PENANAwpAlvzWnl6
