BLOOD ON MY HANDS episode 8 – 9

BLOOD ON MY HANDS

EPISODE 8

” Lia” The scre-m pierced through my ears and I instantly jumped off Tamara, I was no longer bleeding but my heart was still beating fast.

“I am sorry” I whispered

“What are you?” Geo asked

Tamara was shaken by the wh0le experience I could see her trembling as tears fell from her eyes.

“What have I done?” I thought to myself as I stood still while Geo helped Tamara out

“Baby” I tried talking

“Lia stop, just stop” He yelled at me

“I am sorry my anger got the better of me”

“I will take Tamara home now” He said without even looking at me

I quietly got my bag and walked to my car,I didn’t know what happened to me but if not for Geo’s scre-ming I would have bitten off Tamara. I felt this burning desire to just rip her to pieces.

I drove home at high speed , I just wanted to lock myself up.

“Lia you are back?” I heard Racheal call out when I got into the house.

“Not now Racheal” I yelled as I got into my room

I locked my bed room door and immediately called Cleo.

“Talia” She answered excitedly

“Hey”

“Have you been crying?”

“I almost bit off someone today, how do I get rid of this stupid curse I want to have a normal life” I cried

“Talia I told you, the curse can’t be reversed what happened?”

I took a deep breath before explaining what happened at Geo’s house.

“You see the reason I told you to stay away from relationsh¡ps?”

“But I love him and he loves me too”

“Talia you are possessive and that is not a good sign”

“I was just trying to protect what is mine”

“Drive over to the farm tomorrow, the full moon will be out in the next few days, your transformation is close”

“Cleo I have a life to live okay?”

“Talia quit being stubborn”

“Whatever” I said before hanging up my phone, there was no way I was driving back to that evil farm.

I spent the next two days locked up in my room, I didn’t know how to face Geo, I loved him so much i would kill for him.

“That love will be the death of you” Cleo had kept telling me the other day but I had been too stubborn to listen to her. Cleo was just being jealous of me just because I found love.

“Talia you have to leave that room now” I heard auntie Helen bang on my door on Thursday morning

“I will leave when I want to for now just let me be I yelled back”

“Talia?” She called out

“Can’t I have some peace in this house?”

“Come out now” I angrily walked to the door and unlocked it

“What?”

“You have been locked up for two days aren’t you going to school?”

“I am sick”

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing I can’t sort out myself is that all you wanted to ask?”

“Talia this attitude is uncalled for”

“Can you please leave me alone?”

“Talia?”

“Leave” I yelled and she instantly ran off

I walked back to my room and slammed the door behind me. I spent the day sleeping but later in the evening I woke up feeling terribly hungry.

I walked into the kitchen looking for something to eat but nothing interested me till I saw some raw meat. I grabbed a knife cut of the meat and instantly started chewing it, normally I would have found eating raw meat disgusting but at that moment I was enjoying it, I didn’t notice someone was watching me. The more I ate the more I craved it.

“I’ll Lia my God what are you eating?” Racheal asked making a disgusted face.

I immediately stood up and rushed to my room without answering her. I walked to my batbroom and started brushing my teeth. As I brushed i noticed my teeth were quiet sensitive a bit longer.

I freaked out as I walked back to my bed so I could take a nap but I felt uneasy, there was a strange s-nsation in my bones.

When I got my phone to call Cleo, i saw some hairs in between my fingers.

I called Cleo’s number twice but she didn’t pick up, so I got a bag and packed some clothes before sneaking out of the house.

###############

I stood still for a while trying to make something of what I had just witnessed.

“Who eats raw meat?” I asked almost vomiting

From the time Lia moved in with us I had noticed how strange she was, firstly her eyes usually glowed when she was upset, she couldn’t control her temper and her eating habits where unusual.

I had also noticed how she could sense when someone was talking about her, it’s like she was into magic or something.

After asking her why she was eating raw meat she uncomfortably rushed into her room without answering me. So I told myself I would monitor her every move.

Mum had gone out for the evening and my two sisters where visiting so it was just me, her and the maid in the house.

I sat outside trying to get some fresh air when I noticed Lia walk out of the house with a bag on her back hurrying as if someone was chasing her. She didn’t notice me so as soon as she got into her car and drove off, I also got into my mine and slowly followed her behind. It was a a bit hærd to keep up with her because she was driving at high speed.

After driving for over an hour I found it strange that she parked her car in the middle of no where. She got out immediately and walked into the bushes.

I got out of my car and also followed her, I needed to know what she was hiding. She speed off into the bushes almost flying.

What I saw next shook me and I scre-med out of fear.

EPISODE 9

I drove out of the house like a mad woman, I could feel the transformation nearing with each minute that passed.

As soon as I reached the bushes I parked my car and sprinted into the forest. I stopped abruptly in the middle of a tree waiting for it to happen.

The bright moon lit up the sky as I felt warm air hit my body. Then I suddenly felt it, a sharp pain inflicted itself upon my body and I let out a loud howl I felt every muscle in my body spasm uncontrollably.

I got on all fours as all the org-ns in my body began re-arranging themselves. My spine then twisted, cracked and shifted creating an intense agony in my back. The pain became excruciating as fur began growing off my skin and the dress I wore tore itself from my body.

After my wh0le face transformed, the pain hit my ear drum and I became alert to all kinds of sounds around me.

As soon as the transformation finished I turned into an uncontrollable bloody thirsty beast. Blood was all I needed and I would devour the first thing I came into contact with.

I ran towards the big tree that stood at the entrance of the forest, following the breathing of the person that my ears where capturing. I could feel the person’s heart beat loud and as I came face to face with them I couldn’t hold myself together, I sprang on them instantly.

###########

I was terrified as I watched Lia transform into a wild beast. The first thing that came to mind was that she was a satanist and I needed to get out of the place before she saw me.

I trembled violently as I tried running away but the loud howl she made caused me to fall off. When I looked up I saw the animal running towards me, I felt my palms get w-t with sweat as my heart pounded. There was no way I was going to get out alive.

As It neared where I was it threw its head backwards and pointed it’s nose at the moon. Its eyes burned with hunger and without warning it jumped on top of me.

I cried out in pain as it dug its claws into my skin tearing off my clothes. I helplessly let out a silently cry as It came for my throat and started ripping it out slowly s-cking my blood.

The pain was too much to bare, i tried holding on to the little life that was left in me but my body failed me, within minutes my eyes became blurry and everything around me turned into total darkness.

*********************

I woke up the next day as the rays of the sun hit my face. I was laying in a pile of leaves completely unclad, my wh0le body was bruised and it hurt badly.

Next to me where parts of a human body all scattered around. I hit my head when I realised I had devoured a human being and not an animal.

“Lia the moment you taste human meat, you will be uncontrollable, you will easily get upset and once provoked violence will be your only answer” Cleo’s words played in my mind.

“My God what have I done to myself?” I thought as I tried standing up.

The minute I felt the changes I had driven off to the forest far from home as Cleo had earlier advised. The forest i had chosen in particular was a haunted forest and no one dared go near it.

I had done my research about it a few weeks ago and from the information I had gathered people feared going near the forest because it was filled with too many wild animals and ghosts. And that was the reason I had driven their in the first place, knowing the only thing I would come in contact with would be wild animals and not human beings.

I walked to my car slowly with my hands covering my private parts even when I knew I was all alone.

I opened my car door which i had left unlocked then got my bag and removed a long dress and Jersey. I needed to cover up the sores and bruises on my body so no one suspected anything when I got home. I checked my phone and it was off, I placed it on the other seat before starting the car.

I had only driven for a few minutes when I noticed a familiar car parked by the corner. As I got closer to it I proved my suspicions right, it was Racheal’s car. But what why was it parked there?

I parked my car near hers and walked over to check if there was anyone in it but it was empty. I freaked out thinking of the possibility that she might have followed me yesterday.

“My God this is so messed up, did I just kill my own cousin?”

I shook my head and went back to my car then I drove off. I felt weak, when would all the killings end?

Maybe I was just a cursed child I thought as I remmebere how I had stabbed my brother and father. All I wanted was to live a normal life but it seemed killing was the only life I was built for.

Why would Racheal follow me? What was she trying to prove? All these questions ran through my head and as i thought about the situation some more, i realised it wasn’t my fault after all at least I had tried driving as far as possible from her and other any other people.

“The transformation won’t come abruptly, they will always be signs and your instincts will tell you it’s almost time and when you feel it run to a place where you can be alone” Cleo had warned me

“Explain more” I had told her

“You know how painful the transformation gets?” she asked

“Yes Cleo”

“As you transform you lose your human instincts, the wolf side of you takes control of your wh0le being, you turn into an animal thirsty for blood and you end up devouring whatever you lay your eyes on, you have no control over your actions, all you want is to quench your hunger for raw meat and blood”

When I got home I sat in the car for a while, thinking of the twists my life had taken in just a short while, I mean who would believe I would one day become an animal, a wild one for that matter?

“Talia are you okay?” The gateman knocked on my window

“Oh sorry” I was just in deep thoughts, I said as I got out of my car.

“Where are you coming from at this time of the day?”

I gave him an evil stare just to shut him up and he got the message so he didn’t ask me anything else. I rushed into the house walking directly to the kitchen because I was very hungry.

“Isn’t it too early to be eating like that?” Auntie Helen asked when she walked in, her eyes where red, seems she didnt have enough sleep.

“Am I not allowed to eat anymore?” I asked

“You know that’s not what I mean”

“Okay” I replied as I chewed the last slice of bread in my hands

“Where did you sleep?”

“A friend’s house”

“You got me worried Talia, where is Racheal?”

“How am I supposed to know?”

“Well when I got back none of you where home so I assumed you went out together”

“I went out alone, i don’t know about Racheal” I said trying to stand up

“You girls will be the death of me, at least always say you are going out, you have no idea how much i freaked out when i couldn’t reach either of you on the phone last night”

“I am old enough to make decisions , worry about Racheal”

“Anyway it’s good you are back home, let me keep trying Racheal’s number maybe she will pick up” She said almost leaving the room but she stood by the door way and stared at me for a while.

“What?” I angrily asked

“What are all those brusies on your neck?” She asked pointing at me

“Nothing you should worry about?” I replied trying to cover up my exposed neck

“You can tell me anything you know?”

“I said I am fine” I yelled as i stood up and walked passed her, I hated people that asked too much questions, couldn’t she just mind her own business?
