A normal life Languages
Oneiros and the little human girl kept meeting several times after that day, mostly once a week, during what humans called "the weekend". She would often bring food with her, other times books or toys to show off to him, bragging about how she could already read complicated books like these ones while her classmates were still at easy ones that just told stories. Although, Oneiros was pretty convinced that she was just reading them to learn big words so to sound smart. It was quite a peculiar duo they made, while Oneiros was considerably older than her in age, both mentally and physically, he still enjoyed her company, his days became a little more busy when she was around, especially since he had to make sure she didn't fall off a cliff or in a river. Soon enough, his siblings started warming up to her as well and agreed to keep their weekly meetings a secret from their mother. Still, Oneiros made a mental note to talk and question her when he felt ready. They managed to overco

"Y-you've gotta be kidding me..." Shane breathed out, dropping his coffee mug, causing it to shatter upon hitting the floor in his room. Shane was staring in awe at the screen of his computer, specifically, at the email that had just popped up in his inbox. An email from the people of the shady-ass offer from a while ago. He had sent them the finished product they requested, aka the virus, after a few days. Spending an excruciating long time bashing his head on the keyboard, fixing every little problem and making sure there was nothing wrong with it, he didn't want it to end up malfunctioning when they booted it up. Especially since, in case that did happen, he could very much end up having a bounty placed on him or a hitman that would come hunt him down. He wouldn't really feel safe walking his little sister to school if he knew that he basically had a target on his back. In fact, he reckoned he wouldn't feel safe setting foot out of his room at all. So, in order to avoid this dange
A normal life Breaking up
"Ok, now that's beyond creepy dude" Bianca mumbled as the three of them were hanging out together in a cafe in the afternoon, her munching on a muffin with a cup of caramel coffee, Alex having a hard on espresso with 0 sugar and Shane just deciding to not test his already upset stomach any more than he has today "How did you get it out? T-the cat I mean""I didn't... Shane did" Alex said gloomily, his head resting on the table, making it seem like he didn't even have the energy to lift it. Apparently this experience exhausted him to the bone, mentally that is. Still, it was Shane who had it worse, since he was physically tired from all that running and screaming, he'll probably feel it next day. "It was so gruesome, my stomach couldn't handle it""And you think mine did? Haven't you seen me bolt for the bathroom right after I put that poor thing away?" they both shivered upon recalling the memory "C-can we not talk about this please?" Alex pleaded, making Bianca giggle."Such wusses.

"And then I was like, bro, you do realize that I can find the same exact outfit you're selling like, down the road for 5 bucks less right? And you know what that fucker did? He banned me from the store! Like wft dude! I was just trying to teach you how business works!" she scoffed "Guess some people don't even have enough gray matter to put 2 and 2 together" 'How did I end up in this situation again?' Shane wondered as he picked up another wooden board, nailing to the wall with a hammer. "Anyway? How did it go? Did you and that alien obsessed freak reconcile?" She asked sarcastically. Bianca invited Shane to skip classes again to hang out in her tree-house, of course it was all an elaborate plan to trick him into fixing the shack while she stood by eating some crunchy chips and complaining about her daily life. The wood he was using wasn't even good one to begin with, it was just some random wood they found laying around, all drenched up and moldy. It was better than nothing to be
A normal life The shadow
After they got to Alex's house... and after Bianca put down the knives she yoinked from his kitchen, with the promise of not trying to murder him... yet. Then and only then, Alex did came out from his bunker to talk. "Ahem... so, what happened? Why did you send me such a frantic text? I assume the thing you wanted to tell me wasn't the fact that you became a couple, right?" Shane let out a groan "No, no we didn't" he cringed "This might take a while, mind if we sit first?" "Sure! I'll go grab some chips for the show" "Don't push your luck Alex, I don't need a weapon to kill you" Bianca warned "Heh... sorry" they all sat down in the living room and Shane started telling them the whole story. "Well... to sum it up a bit, I've been seeing this weird shadow in my nightmares, it doesn't have a set form or shape, sometimes it looks like an animal, others like person. But whenever I see it, well... I know I'm up for a really, really bad nightmare. It shows me what it calls 'memories' b

'Absolutely no! We are not doing this' Oneiros said, shaking his head and taking a step back as the little human girl tried to put a collar around his neck."Oh come on Mr. Fairy! It's just to make sure that those bad hunter people won't hurt you again! Don't be so stubborn and just stay still!" she kept chasing after him, trying to pounce on him when he wasn't looking or from his blind spot. Too bad Oneiros was used to being on guard, so he constantly knew where the girl was.She eventually gave up after running out of energy, resorting to laying on the ground, panting."Ok fine! You can stay without it! Happy now you stubborn wolfie?!" 'Very' Oneiros replied with a grin, satisfied with the outcome. He sat down next to the girl, calmly grooming his fur as he waited for her to catch her breath.'I wish I could ask you why you keep doing this... why you keep coming back here... to meet a monster like me' he shook his head 'I guess I'll never know the answer' but, deep down, Oneiros di
A normal life Mother...?
As months went by, Oneiros and the little cubs begun to develop an increasingly deeper and stronger bond between each other, so much so that now, as the first snow begun to fall, he let the two ride him. 'For clarity, this is just a one time thing, don't get used to it' he said with a purr as he rolled his eyes. The children used the excuse that their feet were cold and didn't want to walk anymore to force him to carry them. 'It amuses me how slowly you human cubs grow, how can you still be so childish and small after 5 months?' his question remained unanswered of course. The little girl was loving the ride, the boy on the other hand, seemed a little less eager. "Faster wolfie! Faster!" "A-angy don't encourage him. And sit properly, you might fall off" yup, he was scared, so Oneiros decided to give him a little scare. There was a steep slope not too far from here, he remembered it well. It was so steep that he basically sunk all the way to his chest in snow last winter, even though

"Ok class, today we are going to talk about the moon and all it's peculiarities, be ready to take notes because this will be on your final exam" a round of groan rose from the back row "Yeah yeah quit your whining and take out your books" the teacher turned around and started to draw on the blackboard "Now, If we'd to talk about the moon, I could go on for literal weeks, but for your sanity's sake, I'll just speak about a few peculiar events that happened over the years.

Howl to the moon
"AAAAND OUT! FUCKING FINALLY" Alex wheezed, carelessly dropping the knocked out Sebastian on the fresh snow right outside of the cabin while he gently set down Angela. He placed his hands on his knees, trying to catch his breath. "Fuck! I hate exercise! I'm never doing anything athletic after this in my life!" he complained. "Alex" Bianca called, leaning heavily against a nearby tree, she tried to walk towards him but the second she let go of her sustain, she fell "W-where... where is Shane?" "Still inside, Imma get him right now, don't worry, just sit tight I'll be right back" but just as he tried to get back inside from the door he came out of, he found it locked "What the fuck?!" he tried to pull harder, but to no avail "Fuck it, I'll just use the ladder" he sprinted inside the cabin, trying the trapdoor, but finding that locked as well. "What the fuck is going on!? Why are they locked!?" he ran back outside, trying the door again. "W... what's happening?" Angela asked, terrif

"S-shane... is... is that really you?" she hesitantly reached out, brushing his blue fur, Oneiros remaining still "B-but how? How did y-" "Enough messing around! I'm your opponent beast!" the hunter took advantage of this moment to change magazine, basically putting to waste all Oneiros's hard work. The wolf turned his body around, pushing Bianca with his head, forcing her to stand up. "What are you doing?" he whined, looking up. She followed his gaze and saw the trapdoor at the end of the ladder, which had been left open, luckily for them. "You... want me to escape?" he nodded, flinching as another bullet hit in in the back "No! I won't I-" she started coughing "-won't leave you alone" Oneiros was starting to feel desperate, he knew he couldn't fight at his fullest if he had to worry about protecting Bianca, and if he couldn't fight, he couldn't win. 'What do I do now? How can I make her leave?' his eyes looked left and right, finding no solution. Surprisingly, a solution instea

The hunter and the wolf
Bianca couldn't remember what happened clearly. All she knew was that she had a knife pressed against her neck just a second ago, the superficial cut and blood dripping out of it was proof. When she started to feel the knife cut her skin, a loud howl echoed throughout the room, followed by the sound of glass shattering. She reflexively closed her eyes, covering her head as she got pushed and pulled around for several seconds before it all came to a stop. When she sheepishly opened one of her eyes to see what happened, much to her surprise, there was a large blue wolf protecting her from the two kidnappers. "W... wha..." she shakily sat up and looked around, her fever making her vision blurry and slightly dizzy, not really helping in the situation she was in "Am I hallucinating? Or did I die?" she mumbled to herself, pinching her arm to confirm that, at the very least, she wasn't dreaming. "Well, whether I died or not... this is definitely the weirdest thing I've ever seen... by far

Who am I? Who are you?
"I... he... what are you talking about? How can I be that-! That thing! You're just delusional, that's what you are! You've edited this over a kid's death recording and now you're accusing me of it?! Are you insane or what!?" that's what he put into words, but in his head he was thinking something completely different.'What was that? Why does this scene look so familiar? And why did I feel guilt when I watched it? Could... could it be that... no, no there's no way that this thing was even remotely real, I mean, blue wolves? What are they gonna tell me next? That the earth is cubical?'The lumberjack was just staring at him with a curious look in his eyes, casually playing with the knife in his hand as he listened to Shane's pointless rant."See Lucas? He's a liar, he won't admit to it even when the truth is shoved right to his face, let's just kill him now and put an end to this" Sebastian growled angrily."In due time boy, first let's make him show his true colors now, shall we?" he

It's a fake, it has to be
Shane couldn't believe his eyes, he couldn't mutter a single word or move a single muscle as that matter. All he could do was stare, mouth agape, at the large screens on the walls as he watched a large blue-furred wolf murder a kid. But that's not what had unsettled him the most. What unsettled him was that the kid looked a lot like his younger self, not only that, his voice was also identical. "W-wha... what is this?! This has to be a fake! Why are you showing me a footage that's clearly been edited!?" he shouted as Sebastian kept an impassible expression, almost like he was expecting a different reaction from him. "Oh really? Edited?" he chuckled "I wouldn't expect you out of all people to pull out such a flimsy excuse" he started pacing around Shane's glass cage "Or is it that perhaps you have no honor? Maybe you don't even regret doing it, do you?" he grinned "You never had the face of someone who regretted murder to be fair" Shane at this point was completely lost, he didn't

Regret
'What do I do now?! This is such a mess! Mother is gone and Father will be here in less then a week! Ugh why didn't I keep track of time!?' Oneiros was stressing out, pacing restlessly in front of his lair after the argument of the night before. 'Should I run away? But where to? It was always mother who pointed me towards a new location to live in, I can't leave without her! I'm the one who sent her away... but how the fuck do I get her back now?!' he stopped in his tracks 'The cubs... if I don't leave, I would be putting them in danger... but if I do leave... they might search for me and get lost... and if by some miracle they do end up finding me..." he shook his head, not wanting the thought to even cross his mind. 'I-i need to call mother back... but how... maybe howling again will work?' he looked up at the dark sky, only the stars being visible in the night as he let out a loud howl, using all the air in his lungs. But unfortunately for him, nothing happened. He tried several

The cabin
"You sure this is the right direction? We've been *cough* walking aimlessly for an hour now" Bianca asked as she and Alex followed Shane into the woods, his uncertain and hesitant steps not really making the whole ordeal reassuring. "I'm sure! When I was hypnotized I saw a few signs with the name of this town, so the cabin must be somewhere around these woods" "First of, these woods are ginormous, it could take us literal days to find that place without a map. Second, didn't you say you only moved here recently? I know you lived close by for three years or so, since we often playe

"ALEX!! ALEX OPEN UP!!" Shane shouted as he banged his fists against his friend's house, soon receiving an answer as the door opened "BRO! THE FUCK!?" Alex shouted back, popping his head out the nearby window "QUIT IT! PEOPLE WILL THINK I HAVE AN ASYLUM ESCAPEE AS A FRIEND! GET YO ASS INSIDE!" Shade didn't need to be told twice and quickly got in, not waiting for his friend to ask what was going on and immediately cutting to the chase. "Alex, Angela has been kidnapped!" Alex whipped his head around "SHE HAS WHAT?!" "I need your help to get her back-"
