Saved?! [PART 2/2]The WULDDRICS

-Though the Wulddric had pushed its head inside the carriage, destiny can be extremely mysterious. The gag prevented Aurelia from screaming. At the same time, her body scent was masked by the scent of the flowers that she picked in the forest. In the pale light, the Wuldrric's poor eyesight failed to notice her. So though the Wuldrric was right next to her, it failed to notice her and withdrew it's head.

Meanwhile all the mercenaries had been taken down by the Wulddrics and were either dead or severely injured. The senator was bleeding from his thighs, but was still alive as well... It was then that Aurelia saw something she would never forget. The long spiral lower jaws of the Wulddrics slowly unfurled, with the teeth overlapping to form a semi circular shape. The Wulddrics then used their teeth to scrape off the armour, clothes & even the skin of the bodies.

HAVING THEIR SKIN PEELED OFF... AND BLEEDING TO DEATH SLOWLY... HORRIBLE... BUT ATLEAST THEY DESERVED IT... GOOD THING RED RIDING HOOD DIDN'T COME HERE TO VISIT HER GRANNY.

To those who had already died, it was nothing. But to those who were still alive, having their skin peeled off by the terrible teeth was extremely painful. They screamed their hearts out and cried hysterically from the pain. But the Wulddrics showed no emotions, in fact their eyes almost seemed to suggest that they enjoyed hearing the pained screams. Blood flowed non stop from the bodies as they were being flayed. Once a body was completely devoid of skin, hair or clothing, they tore the body into large pieces with their claws before swallowing the pieces whole. But strangely and terrifyingly, the Wuldrrics devoured a body only if it was dead. For those still alive even after their skin was ripped apart... the Wulddrics did not proceed to kill and eat them, rather they patiently waited till the pitiful wretches stopped screaming & died. The rumours that the Wulddrics enjoyed tormenting their prey seemed to be true.

The senator ended up as miserably as some of the other mercenaries... the wretch suffered agonising pain for nearly forty minutes before finally dying. For that 1 hour, painful and desperate screams were heard in the forbidden area. Screams that could send shivers down the spines of the bravest of warriors. Aurelia was extremely frightened as well, but she controlled herself not to make any sound and closed her eyes and prayed to God to help her.

After the last of the men died and the Wulddrics devoured the flesh, it was nearly midnight. The Wulddrics then went back to the cave from which they came out from. Once Aurelia was sure they had gone, she struggled and struggled and finally got the gag off her mouth, then she bit through the rope tying her hands and subsequently freed her legs as well. She then slowly crept out of the carriage and tried to walk without making any noise. Either because she was lucky or because the Wulddrics were too full, she manged to slip away without being spotted by them. The foliage was very thick, but the way through which the carriage had come in water evident through the destruction it had caused. Following this path, she slowly started going out of the forbidden area.

FINALLY... SHE IS OUT OF THAT TERRIBLE PLACE... BUT YES, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS UNKNOWINGLY DONE, THEY DID SAVE HER... THE WULDDRICS ARE HEROES... FOR NOW...



Slowly but steadily, she made it out of the terrible place by dawn. Once outside ... she eventually met up with her bodyguards who had searched for her in all places except the forbidden area. When they heard what had happened to the senator and his men, they got goosebumps. They suggested Lady Aurelia to take her things and leave Rome as they believed that the monsters were perharps a sign from the heavens that Rome might fall. Lady Aurelia was very much thankful to escape alive and safe from that terrible place and thanked God that even her virginity was saved. She too decided to leave Rome, as without her father and her maid... there was no one here who mattered to her anymore. She decided to go elsewhere to start a new life...

As for the Wulddrics, why are there no fossils or physical proof of them you ask? Because they were solitary creatures and inspite of being able to live up to 130 years... they mated only once in their lifetime and loved living in dark caves. Also in addition to their rarity, their skeletons were composed entirely of cartilage, making fossiliation even more difficult. In fact, it is not even known which species they can be categorised as and in which period they appeared. But according to tales, their jaws very much resembled that of a Helicoprion shark, only much larger.

THIS IS THE FOSSIL JAW OF A REAL HELICOPRION SHARK... THE WULDDRIC'S JAW WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EVEN LARGER... A PITY THERE AREN'T ANY FOSSILS OF IT...

Thanks for reading... please like and comment.😆😆😆

The next chapters are even more awesome... they are based on a popular comic with an evil Male lead. If you liked the female lead to end up with the kind "second male lead", then try reading the next chapters. It's worth its weight in gold. 👍
