I thought I was dreaming, then I thought I was going crazy, maybe it's a collective delusion, since everything I saw and heard Noah also saw. Imagine someone telling you that you are facing the very king of the dead, the man who ruled the world of the dead, and that he has a hybrid companion who happens to be half human and half witch who, coincidentally, was the shadow of my godmother, who was the queen of witches and lived for over three thousand years. As if that wasn't enough, Noah told me he was a werewolf. I was torn between blindly believing and thinking I was even crazier than I always was, but I don't know why, something inside me made me believe every word. My God, I was on the verge of freaking out.
... Noah...
Zaya, now that you know about all this, you can't tell anyone.
Zaya
Even if I told, who would believe me? I would definitely be locked up in an asylum.
Noah
Can we still be friends?
Zaya
Oh, of course, at least now I know I'm not as crazy as I thought I was.
They say goodbye to me and go home. When I woke up in the morning, I never imagined I would have such an eventful night. I take a shower and lie down on the bed. I have a little trouble sleeping, but eventually, I fall asleep and the same dream is there, me walking naked through the forest, the white wolf near me by the lake, and the black wolf trying to get closer. He can't get close to her and automatically she starts to cry, a sad cry of longing, my heart seems to break, I wish he could get close to her, the howls of both are heartbreaking. I'm there and then I'm not.
Suddenly I'm in a different place, lying on an altar. Wait, there are 7 women, I'm younger, much younger, my godmother is there too, they start saying things I don't understand, an agonizing pain penetrates my body I try to scream and I can't, the pain is terrible and out of nowhere I wake up all sweaty and lying in my bed. Damn nightmare, I think I was very impressed with the things I heard yesterday.
Today I'm super late, not for college but for work. Since I don't study today, I go to work earlier. I arrive at work on time, thank God, any absence or delay affects my pay and I really need it to be able to help with college.
Around lunchtime, I sit at a table outside and then I smell a very *light and woody* scent, but there seems to be something else in the scent that I can't quite identify. I look up and there's Noah.
Zaya
Hi, what are you doing here?
Noah
Hi, I came to have lunch with you and see if you're okay.
Zaya
I'm fine.
With that, he sits down and places an order. As I have an hour for lunch, there is time to have lunch with him. I like Noah's company, I can't explain it, I feel protected. Well, I don't know if I was supposed to feel this way since he's a wolf, but I wonder if he's the bad wolf. I laugh internally at my silly little joke.
Noah
Zaya, I'm not the bad wolf.
Zaya
Damn, how did you know I thought that?
Noah
I don't even know how to explain it to you, my wolf, who hasn't spoken to me in a century, is now talking, he told me that.
Damn, now I'll have to be careful even with what I think.
Oh no, there comes my boss approaching the table, I can already hear the lecture, and he starts talking about what he thought I was doing sitting here with a boyfriend, that work was neither the time nor the place for that, that he would fire me, say that I am incompetent, I just lower my head, I have to endure everything silently, I need this job.
Noah
Look here, respect Zaya and stop making assumptions. Who the hell do you think you are to talk to her like that? Learn to respect and treat your employees with dignity.
Boss
Zaya, collect your things, you're fired.
My heart froze, my God, what am I going to do? I need to pay for college, even if I have a scholarship, there are still a lot of costs. Why didn't Noah keep quiet? Why did he interfere in this?
I gather my things without even changing out of my uniform, later I will ask someone to bring it. When I leave, Noah is still there waiting for me. He calls me but I don't look in his direction, I just run off and he runs after me.
I try to run as fast as I can, but he catches up to me and pulls me into a hug. I scream at him, I'm so upset.
Zaya
What the hell did you do? Why did you interfere in this? I need this job.
Noah
Calm down, we'll figure it out.
Zaya
The problem with being you is wanting to solve everything with money, Noah, I want to do things on my own merit.
He turns to me and looks into my eyes, I can see the glint in his eyes changing color and then he kisses me, a slow and then possessive kiss. I feel my knees go weak, but something is wrong, I start to feel a pain inside as if something was tearing me apart and wanting to get out. I pull away from him and run away as fast as I can, this time he doesn't have time to reach me. I get into a taxi and arrive home, I manage to open the door but I collapse on the floor, my vision is blurred. I can only make out that my parents put me on the couch and my mother calling my godmother.
Mother
Signora, quickly, it's happening.
