VALERIA She turns her back and finally leaves , abandoning me completely alone , staring into nothingness and lost in thought over her words . I got up before nightfall ; I didn't want to be left alone so close to that eerie forest . I was hanging large white sheets on the clotheslines , needing to clitub onto a small stool to reach the rope and secure them with wooden pegs . The cold breeze blew , making the sheets billow while also clearing my mind . I lowered my head to search for more pegs in the apron I wore , and when I lifted it again, I saw him . On the other side of the sheet , the massive shadow of a Lycan stood silently , and I knew very well it was him . The wind howled through the trees , like a sorrowful wail echoing from the forest . I stayed still for a few seconds
