***

That night, the rain keeps pouring non-stop, like a dread night in a typical horror movie when something bad is about to happen. Louis looked around the small room, while laying on his back on the small bed with an iota of fear in his heart because he could not close his eyes to sleep that night.

He pulls the duvet covering him slightly up his chest and his eyes hovers round the room.

"Why on Earth am I not sleeping?" He sigh and rub the left side of his chest to ease his heart.

"This is just like any other rainy night" he thinks and close his eyes, then there comes an heavy striking of thunders on top the roof as he close his eyes that send shivers down his spine.

"Oh!" He quickly open his eyes letting out a breathe.

"What a night?" He wonders why he feels strange about the night that he could not close his eyes to sleep.

In his late forties, Louis could sense something strange in the air as much adrenaline rush into his brain telling him something, but how will he know what that is.

"Ummm" he sigh deeply and decides to put everything behind his mind so he could at least sleep because it is already mid- night. As he close his eyes slowly and about to drift into the dreamland.

"Wooooooo!" The sound brought him back, his eyes open wide and he quickly sit up on the bed holding the left side of his chest because it's seems as if the sound runs through his heart. He becomes alert, he squeeze his face narrowly towards the door.

"Isn't that a wolf's growl?" He said feeling agitated now.

As an hunter, he could recognise the growls of a wolf, since he leaves close to the forest, he expects something like that but the growls feels really strange and scary to him.

"Why did my heart aches?" Louis continues to rub the left side of his chest feeling somewhat scared.

"Is something bad really about to happen?" He thinks deeply.

"I think I am just too anxious about the night" Louis thought and decides to lay back on the bed.

But then, he start hearing something more strange, he sit up and pull the duvet off his body.

"Is someone in the woods?" He let out as he could hear cries from the woods near his cottage.

Even though the rain is still pouring heavily, he could hear the cries.

"Will someone be in the woods?" Louis wonders and stand up slowly from the bed to the door of the cottage room to listen attentively. He put his ears to the door to know if he hears wrongly but the cries increases.

"I think there is actually someone in the woods crying" he gets more anxious because he believes that someone might have been hurt by the wolf which growls.

"I think the person needs help" he runs to pick up his shirt and put it on since he is wearing only trousers. He takes his gun and a big torch light as his hunter instinct gets into him. He put on an hat-like head cover made of steel to cover his head from the rain.

As an hunter, Louis feels that he should help the person who needs help in the woods, he close the door of the cottage behind him as he get out of the cottage and look ahead into the forest.

"Who is there?" He shines the big torch light towards the woods feeling more scared now that he has left the cottage.

Since Louis is an hunter, he knows that he should not be afraid and should quickly get into the woods to help the person, but there is really something strange about the night which makes him wants to turn back. As the thought of going back to the cottage hits his heart, the cries comes to his hearings again.

"I really have to go into the woods to see what is happening, I cannot neglect the cry of someone in need of help, can I?" He sigh with hint of confident now in him. He moves slowly towards the woods.

"Who is there?" Louis keep saying and shining the torch to see if he will see the person crying but he could not see anyone.

The cries increases the more Louis goes into the woods as if the cries is calling to his heart and drawing him with some strange force. Louis is already afraid but with the cries but he keep going slowly.

"Who is it?" Louis let out again, but the sudden strikes of lightnings fears his heart which makes his legs wobbles that he almost fall to the ground. With the striking light from the lightnings, Louis sees a lady before him already drenched in the rain looking haggard, weak and beaten.

Her long tousled hair already soaked with rain water dripping with the sounds of the night, the lady wears a white short gown stained and wet.

Louis looks so shocked and eventually falls to the ground as the rain beats hard because the lady looks more like a ghost to him.

"Help me" the lady whispers.

Louis who is still much in fear look to the lady to be sure she is not a ghost. Looking at her thoroughly, he could see some traces of blood stains which almost washed away by the rain on the white gown.

"Am cold" the despair voice of the lady comes again.

"Help me" she adds moving slowly towards Louis who is still on the ground.

Louis quickly stand up and takes the torch light which already falls from his hands.

"Am cold" the lady calls out to Louis again.

"She must really be wounded by the wolf" Louis thought and get close to the lady.

As Louis gets close, he suddenly felt pulled closer, he thought that some strange hand pulls him, but then he realize it's the lady.

Louis gets afraid and wonders how a weak looking lady will suddenly gets such power to pull a grown man like him. Before Louis could know what is happening, the lady already smash her lips unto his lips and start kissing him roughly.

Louis's eyes opens wide in shock and the torch light falls again, he wanted to resist her but it's seems she is too strong for him. The lady wrapped her arms tightly around him and cleave to him using her legs to trapped his body to herself which makes Louis falls to the ground. They both roll on the ground with the lady still roughly kissing him and not letting go.

Louis wish he could gets away from the lady, but there is this thing in him wanting her also, so he rolls laying on her now responding the kiss too.

Now that Louis has given him, the lady quickly torns his shirt like a broken thread, her hands hovering round his body lustfully as if she wants to get something off him while still kissing him roughly.

Louis knows that this is something he should not be doing but it's seems he is bewitched and he could not get himself out now.

Though the rain continues to fall heavily with thunders and lightnings striking but it's seems there is a strange heat coming out from Louis's body that he has to let out. With both calling out for each other, the lady let out a soft moan and cleave more unto Louis's body trying to get some kind of heat from him.

With that, Louis feels so arouse which makes him lost his mind and went all the way.

Lustful moans fills the air as the rain beats on them, the moments they becomes intimate and Louis could feel himself in her. He notice that the smooth palms of the lady going all over his body turns hairy and rough with harsh finger nails. He did not really think much into it until he sees that the lady already transform into a werewolf. Still in her, Louis open his eyes shocked to see a werewolf under him.

"Am I been intimate with a beast?" His heart sinks.

"It's a werewolf!" Louis almost let out fearfully after he realize what has happened.

As an hunter, he has heard about many folktales of werewolves but he never imagine them to be true, talk of meeting one to the extend of been intimate.

With that realization, Louis thinks that he will let go but it's seems he has been bewitched and continue with the lustful passion.

Like that and like that in the arms of each other, they both intimately go with the rusty night while the rain goes away slowly then appears the scarlet moon above them as if watching their lustful night.
