Ria and Gerrard watched the light closely.
It was shining directly and so bright on them, Gerrard only guessed what the light means but he wasn't sure,while Ria was so confused.
"What should we do,the light is directly on us, don't you think something is wrong,or don't you think we are been followed by someone or a group of people"Ria said with fear gripping her.
"I don't know Ria, I've never seen such a thing like this ever since I've been in this wood"Gerrard replied.
"So what should we do?, you should have an idea"Ria asked.
"The best thing for us to do right now is to hide"Gerrard replied.
"Hide?, really?, where do we hide in this wood that we won't be seen?"Ria asked.
"I know where to hide, follow me"Gerard replied and Ria waited for some minutes.
"Are you sure about this,I don't want to get lost In this wood?"Ria asked.
Gerrard stopped walking."i know everything about this woods because I've been here for years,so don't panic Ria,I know what I'm doing,just follow me"He said.
Ria sighed"Okay,I would.but what about the book,how would carry it!?"She asked.
"That's true.it's so heavy,I think we should bury it"Gerrard suggested.
"Bury?, it's not a good idea.it's not safe been buried underground because we don't know who might be after us"Ria replied.
"Then you should sort it yourself,i don't know what to do.. and hope you still remember the lights are still on us."Gerard said.
Ria sighed and took the book and hid it underground with enough sands covering it.
They began to hear noises,so swiftly.thry both left the spot they stayed.
"So where's the place we're gonna hide"?Ria asked.
"Just keep following me"Gerard replied and they kept walking until they reached another spot.
They stood there for a while and then began to notice the light coming more closer,So they both bend down and watched.
"Check that corner Miquel, and check that area Sam"They heard someone say.
They began to hear footsteps coming closer,so they shifted.
Mistakenly,Ria stepped a stick on the ground which made sounds.
"Boss,I can hear sounds coming from this corner"One of them said.
Gerrard and Ria shifts to another side because they weren't sure of the corner they were going to pass.
"We need to check where the sound is coming from, you both should move to those corners",Their Leader said.
"What should we do?"Ria asked whispering.
"Just take a deep breath and hope that everything is gonna be okay"Gerrard whispered to her hears.

"Sir,we didn't find anyone,I thing we should come tomorrow, I'm exhausted"One of them said after relentless search.
"I can't come back tomorrow, Alpha Ramon wants me to find her, and he is gonna kill me if I don't bring her to him"Their leader replied.
"Boss, I'm so tired, I've searched the whole woods and I couldn't find her,I think we should come back tomorrow to search for her"One of them,Jeff,who was just coming from searching from her said.
"Thank goodness I have someone who also comes with the same idea, let's get back to the pack, because I'm tired and weak"Miquel said.
"Alright, let's get back to the pack, but I don't have an excuse to give Alpha Ramon, because I know he's definitely gonna be mad at me"Their leader replied facing both of them.
"Don't look at us,we aren't the one given the mission, we are only under you,and you should think about the excuse because I have no excuse in my skull"Miquel said.
Their Leader sighed"Alright let's go,I have an excuse to talk him",He said and they all began to walk out of the woods using another route.
Gerrard and Ria came out from where they were hiding and stood still without making any move.
"I knew you weren't a good person right from the time I met you,can you tell me why they are looking for you at the park?"Gerrard asked.
"I don't know why Gerrard, I'm also confused.Alpha Ramon shouldn't be looking for me, because the last time I saw him,he was acting so good."Ria replied.
"I need to take a break from you for sometime,I don't want you to cause trouble for me"Gerrard said and begin to walk away.
"It isn't what you think Gerrard, I'm ain't a wicked werewolf.i'm only a werewolf who loves to explore, find things people don't have the bravery to find out.. it's really it what you think,just help me please, and don't forget I also made a promise to help you."Ria replied.
Gerrard stood on a spot and turned back, and then he spoke"I'm still taking a break from you Ria, you should go take the book you buried and stay In place that is far away from me.
Ria replied"Okay, it's fine.i would take the book and go far away from you and I might come back,to fulfill the promise I made.
Ria was expecting him to say something, but instead he continued to walk.
She sighed and went to pick the book she buried, and once she took it she began to search for a place she could stay for the night.
After some minutes she found a place to stay,so she sat on the ground and placed her head on her knee thinking about everything that just happened between her and Gerrard.
She was confused and what to do.
To take everything off her mind,she took some pills from her bag which was with her through out,and then she swallowed the pill without using water.
She slept few minutes after taking the pills.

"You are welcome sweetheart, it's my job to always make you happy, but I haven't been doing it and you deserve this and more"Her dad replied.
Melissa disengaged from the hug and smiled to get dad who also smiled back at her.
"I need to take off this dress,and put on my night dress"Melissa spoke.
"Alright then,I would be waiting for you right in the sitting room,so that we could both watch some movies before going to sleep"Her dad said.
"Okay,I would hurry up"Melissa replied and climbed through the stairs leading to her room.
Her dad sat on the couch and smiled,he felt so relieved that he had done something he had been willing to do for months.
He hasn't been doing his work to make her happy,and now he is happy because she is happy.
"Hey Dad,how do I look for the movie show?"Melissa asked with smiles written all over her face.
"You look so good, but it isn't a movie show,it is only me and you watching movie on the television"Her dad replied.
"Whatever"She said
"I would go get us some popcorn"Her dad said and went to the kitchen to get some popcorn for the both of them.
Melissa smiled inwardly,she was happy because her father is treating her like a princess.
"Let's watch some movies"Her father exclaimed and then he sat down and place the popcorn on the table.
Melissa took the remote and then put a channel were they would watch movies
