Chương 35: Decision

On the other side of the town, deep within the forest, a coyote was sniffing around as if searching for something. It was the place where Lucas killed the skinwalker. The coyote looked around at the ravaged area, trying to find something. After searching for some time, the coyote found a piece of cloth. After sniffing it for a couple seconds, she grabbed it with her teeth and left. A few hours passed by, Lucas was already feeling better. He lifted the bandage, wanting to see his wound.

Lucas smiled as he saw only scar marks.

"The effect of the spear finally disappeared." Lucas heard some legends about the effects of the spear, but now he personally felt it. The scar will be gone in no time. He then got up, took a shower, and put his weapons in the basement. After that, Lucas cleaned all the blood spots. He felt like he was Dexter, except his victim became dust, so no evidence was left. He then went back to bed to rest, he felt that today he should take a break.

Two more hours passed by, Lucas' ears twitched as he heard the front door opening. Then he smelled a familiar fragrance, Lucas realized it was Allison. Soon she climbed up the stairs and entered his room. Allison looked at him, she was surprised to see that he was looking better, then lifted a package in her hand for him to see.

"I brought some burgers and chicken wings, I was worried you'd be hungry." Lucas looked at Allison, then at the food, he was basically starving.

"You're a lifesaver." This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon. Allison smiled as she watched him staring intently at the food, then sat on the bed and took all the food out. She thought he was still too injured to walk around. Then the two started eating. Lucas finished everything quickly, while Allison was not even half done.

"You must have been really hungry." She raised her eyebrows while looking at him. Lucas nodded.

"Pretty much, so how was your day?" Allison immediately thought of her conversation with Lydia, then replied:"Nothing much, just school." After responding, Allison looked at him hesitantly, like wanting to ask something. Lucas noticed Allison's hesitation, then her looking at his wounds, realizing what she wanted to know.

"If you want to know something, just ask." Allison put the food down and stared into his eyes while asking:"What injured you? And why didn't you want to go to the hospital?" He looked at her, seeing her serious, concerned look. Lucas hesitated before responding.

"It's a secret." He was not sure she could accept the truth yet. Allison was visibly upset by his answer.

"You don't trust me?" Her tone trembled slightly this time. He looked at her, not flinching at her pitiful expression.

"You forgot I'm not the only one keeping secrets." Allison flinched after hearing this, she then thought of her discussion with her father.

"Will you tell me yours if I tell you mine?" Lucas looked at her hopeful expression, then shook his head. Allison's heart sank seeing this.

"I can probably guess what yours is, probably your parents telling you to stay away from me." Allison was shocked, she didn't expect him to know this. Then Lucas continued:"They worry that I will hurt you."

"Will you?" Allison asked while looking straight into his eyes.

"What do you think?" Lucas asked instead of responding to her question. Allison responded without even thinking:"No, whenever I am around you, I feel safe." Allison then seemed to realize she spoke without thinking, her cheeks reddened slightly as she averted her gaze. Lucas stared at her as he listened to her heartbeat, knowing that she was telling the truth.

"So what did you tell them?" Allison did not respond with words, instead she gently placed her hand on his chest while kissing his lips. Lucas' eyes widened as he felt her soft lips against his, not expecting her to be this bold. Allison then let go of his lips and whispered:"This is my answer." The moment she saw Lucas badly injured, Allison felt heartbroken, she realized he meant more to her than she imagined. Lucas looked into her eyes, his hand reached out and gently stroked her face.

She finally made her choice, Lucas didn't want to convince or force her, this is why he waited until now. Once she decided that, he would not allow anyone to get in the way between the two of them. His gaze sharpened, he stared at her lips, then gently pushed her down while kissing her. He felt his heartbeat rising as he tasted her cherry-flavored lips, he grabbed her slender back and pulled her closer to his body.

Allison felt a wave of heat throughout her body as she felt his strong grip on her waist, she wrapped her hands around his neck as she kissed him more aggressively. His hand slowly went down, gently touching her belly as it slid lower.
