A Love In Dark Times
Chapter 24

-Run, we're almost there, hurry.

Luisa didn't understand, she couldn't digest what had happened, if she was really special, or if she just had a rare luck lik Guio, or a powerful guardian angel.

“We were able to take advantage of the fact that the legion of knights is attacking the forest, it seemed to me that they killed one of the dragons, that's why it's such a scandal, come on run.

Ym worried about what will happen to you,” asked Don Carl.

-After this, Estrello and I will go far away.

Hopefully there is a place where we can love each other and the alpha won't get his claws on us” howled Estrello.

-Let's run, don't stop, something is following us,” Paola cried and something got in her way.

-Wait, I can't let them take her,” it was the “Mancarita”, a woman with a monstrous appearance, dishevelled, with long naif and hair, a single breast in the middle of her chest and her feet upside down, her whole body was covered with hair, it wa difficult to distinguish the shape of her face because of her abundant hair, “she can be our cure.

You have no salvation, you are very merciless," roared Paola, jumping on her, trying to bite her head off, only that Paola hypnotised her before touching her and ordered her to “kill your friends:

“kill your friends.

Paola lay down on the ground, trying to fight against her orders, she achieved it by becoming human, it must be because her brain also changes, the Mancarita screamed producing a deafening noise, and attacked her by scratching her.

-Let's do something, it's going to kill her shouted Mery.

Estrello limped at the creepy thing, tried to bite it, and it threw him away with a backhanded blow.

-Let's do something, we can't just stand by and do nothing” shouted anguished Don Carl, at the same time he grabbed a stick with which he stabbed the hairy woman, immediately his wife and stepdaughter also looked for stones and sticks with which they attacked her, she again produced a terrifying scream that made them kneel down, covering their ears. -'m going to eat wolves today,” she said, opening her big mouth.

“Wait, I won't let you,” was the alpha who arrived with other lycanthropes of various species.

“What are you saying, if you know that the mission is the girl’ roared Mancarita.

That doesn't justify the fact that I smell your claws on my daughter, you almost killed her,” and all the wolves threw themselves on that scarecrow.

-Run, save yourselves, Luisa, run, go," cried Paola.

They did, they ran biblically, without looking back, regardless of the howls of pain and the smell of blood.

They ran feeling they couldn't go any further, seeing how the ground flirted with them, offering them rest, which could tu into barefoot forever in their guts, at last they saw the first lights of the city, that gave them a second wind, they already felt the rescue was crowned, their own rescue, their escape and in front of them came again that hairy one closing their way, she the Mancarita, full of blood and wolf hairs, now she was standing in their way and sentenced them:

I'l eat them, I'll grind their bones with my molars, I don't even care to take the girl.

“What do you want? -asked Mery, Luisa’s mother.

- don't want much, I just like to cause suffering and for sure those creatures of the forest will suffer if she dies.

“Wait, there must be a reason why you only want to cause suffering,” said Luisa scared.

1 don't know, maybe when I was alive they made me suffer a lot and now I want to take it out on everyone.

“You see, that's their problem, you're in a cycle of hatred, you should make the decision to stop,” proposed Luisa, “you should try to cross the door to the beyond.

-And you should make the decision to shut up, nothing you say will save them from being eaten by me, if they want they can scream or cry, I would like that.

He lunged and devoured Mrs. Mery in one bite, he took half of her body, and then he went into ecstasy when he saw the horrified faces of Luisa and Carl, he danced laughing showing the remains of the lady in his maw and cackling he threatened them:

-be calm, soon you will be reunited with them and I don't mean in what you say the afterlife, what I mean is in my tummy Luisa stood up full of hate, attacking the fright, a mysterious glow came out of her hands, making the Mancarita's body shine.

No stop, I don't want to cross, stop and he gave her a blow throwing her against the floor, Luisa again stood up crying w anger, she ran against it and again he attacked her with blows, scratches and kicks; Mancarita seemed incapable of defending herself, it wasn't because of the weak blows, it was that it's energy produced that her body faded, if she continued in this matter she would be sent to face her final judgement, she would have to flee, but what would they say that the great Mancarita fled, that tormented her more than losing her existence, because of the terror that instead of inflicting she was suffering, she unleashed a blow without thinking and knocked Luisa out.

Now it seemed that nothing would come between them and the belly, Luisa and Carl would be as lost as their mother an wife, what a horrible fate to end up devoured by a fright.

La Mancarita laughed to see her triumph realized, it occurred to her that she would have problems with the creatures of the forest and with the others, that would be something she would have to face in time, at least she would have the satisfaction of devouring these unfortunates.

Carl would have to resist, try to defeat this creep, it couldn't be that his last moments were these, his life flashed through his mind in a few seconds, he realised that it was contrasted in a struggle inside him, he remembered how his father instilled his preferences with an iron fist, how he was sent to the militarised school, how he was forced to marry, the way which they hid his affair with his cousin who was sent abroad where he could never see him, the last thing he knew was. that he married the same way he was forced to, to keep up appearances, although he did love Mery, so much to make her nine children, although none of them looked like him, he still loved them very much, he could not let that thing also devour his stepdaughter whom he also loved as a daughter, he would fight as the man his father wanted him to be, as th soldiers instructed him, except for his Colonel Contento, with that surname that made him be so; that fright is nothing wi all that he had endured, so much mockery, scorn, discrimination and internal struggles, he found a small trunk in which I deposited all his hatred and frustration, determined to charge against the fright, the Mancarita laughed when she felt ths weak blow and said to him:

calm down, that after devouring it I will continue with you.

Help," he shouted at the top of his lungs, Don Carl thought it was possible that someone in the city could hear him, and his screams seemed mute.
