3 Awakening

'I think he hasn't seen me'

He starts moving towards me

'Shit, at least he's just one...'

I hear a growl behind me.

It's another wolf, much closer than the other.

I turn to my left, and I see two other wolves together.

'It looks like this is it, it isn't the way I expected to die. At least I will not die locked in the house'

They keep getting closer slowly, it seems they want to make me suffer waiting.

'I hope I die of fear before they kill me'

After a few seconds, the first wolf starts to run towards me and fits his huge fangs on my leg.

All I can do is accept my fate and scream in pain.

Another wolf launches himself at me, throwing me to the ground.

By instinct, I cover my face with my arms.

'I don't want to die like this'

'I want to know who my mother was'

*bite in the leg*

'I want to find friends'

*scratch on the abdomen*

'Go to a school and make pranks to my classmates'

*bite in the arm*

'Go shopping...'

*scratch on the face*

'Fall in love and have a normal family'

*bite in the foot*

'If I die here, probably dad will never find my body. He will not even know I died. Only he will remember me. He and Navy...'

An imposing heat arises in my chest.

Every moment is more painful.

'I don't want to die forgotten...'

The heat disperses throughout my body.

'I want to do something humanity will remember forever'

I start to close my eyes

Out of nowhere, I feel more alive than ever, the pain disappears and I open my eyes.

I see the wolves biting my body and their mouths full of blood. My blood.

For a moment I think I'm dead, but suddenly the pain returns, much worse than before.

I scream to the sky.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

What seems to be electricity comes out of my arms and creates a great flash, pushing and stunning the wolves.

I sit on the ground

'¿What the fuck?'

The pain doesn't disappear, on the contrary, it is getting worse.

I see my arms and apart from scratches, bites and blood, they are darker than normal, it seems that I'm burning.

The wolves wake and get up, it seems that they didn't like what I did.

They start running towards me and I, trying to imitate what happened, I point with my arm and my open hand towards one of the wolves.

What looks like a thunderbolt comes out of my palm.

The wolf falls with a hole in the head, it seems that it's dead.

I point to another wolf and the same thing happens.

I fall to the ground.

Every time I do this, my arms are worse, smoke comes out of them and the pain becomes unbearable.

'I don't think I can do it again'

'My body feels like hell'

Trembling, I sit again and shoot down the third wolf.

I fall unconscious to the ground.

"Alex!"

I hear my dad's voice.

'Am I in heaven?'

"Alex, are you awake?"

I hear he opens the door of my room and I wake up.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you up, I just came to leave you the books I brought from the city. Go back to sleep"

"Yes don't worry, good night"

Closes the door and goes to his room.

'Ugh, it seems like it was just a nightmare, a very bad nightmare...'

But the moment I see my arms:

'Oh no...'

They are covered in bandages.

I uncover and see that I'm in my pajama and my whole body is covered in bandages.

'It wasn't a dream? Those rays in my arms, were they real?'

The more I realize what happened, the more my body starts to hurt.

'Wait a moment, how did I end up here and who put the bandages on? Was it dad? I don't think so, it seems that he just arrived and if he found me outside, he would've killed me'

'Now I have to worry about how to hide all of this from my father... And even more important, I have to go to the bathroom'

I begin to move slowly to avoid pain, although it is inevitable.

'Agh, it really hurts. At least it isn't as bad as at that moment'

After so much effort, I finally manage to sit on the edge of the bed.

'Well, now I have to stand up'

As soon as I try to stand on my feet, I let out a scream of pain.

"Ahhh-!" I cover my mouth quickly.

I hope he didn't hear me.

"Alex? Are you okay?"

'Shit'

He starts turning the doorknob.

'Oh no, he is going to see all the bandages'

"Don't open the door!" I scream desperate.

But it seems that I only gave him more doubts.

"Why? I'm just going to-" while he keeps turning the doorknob.

Quickly, I think in an excuse.

"Because... I'm naked!"

He stops turning the doorknob.

"And why was that scream?"

Something that dad knows really well of me is that I don't scream in pain unless it's something really bad. Really. Bad.

I only screamed out in pain when I broke my arm when I fell from Navy and when I fell on 5 nails when dad was fixing a fence and I was running like crazy.

So an excuse like "I hit my little toe" or "I got a cramp" will not work.

And if I say something more serious, he will enter to help me.

'I have no choice'

"It's just... I was masturbating"

Only the soft wind is heard moving the leaves of the trees.

"Well, sorry for bothering, but don't make any more strange noises"

"Sure, I'm sorry"

At last he goes to his room and closes his door.

I should mention that sexual themes have never bothered us, since I don't have another person to ask, I've always asked him about those things and he answers without any problem.

He has also brought me books on biology and sex education.

Also, it wouldn't be the first time he discovered me masturbating, but that's for another time.

'Now, I have to go to the bathroom'
