Triggered Emotions

“I am sorry for putting us in this position but I could swear to you that I saw something dangerous coming.” Ethan said to Luna who looked at him in surprise as this was the first time he really said anything important rather than his name and thanking her.

“Did you just reply me?” Luna asked Ethan who smiled taking a seat on the bare grass.

“Yes, I am not a mute person… is just something happened to me that placed me in a really traumatic state.” Ethan replied making her chuckle as she took a seat beside him.

“How did you end up where I found you?” Luna asked Ethan who suddenly had a frown on his face like he didn’t want to remember what placed him in the situation he was in right now.

“I am a researcher for my school projects called wonders of nature.” Ethan began making Luna stare at him puzzled.

“You research things concerning nature?” She said to him after being puzzled a bit earlier.

“Yes and of course every researcher has to be very fond of what they research on and mine is the forest, I have raided through different forest and found very fascinating things but except this one I stumbled upon by accident.”Ethan continued.

“I felt a pull, like something wanted me inside this forest and I didn’t waste time in following my instincts and at first when I walked into the forest it seemed like a very perfect place to research upon I was even very pleased with my sudden findings.” Ethan said his facial expression getting more stiff and stiff as he told Luna everything.

“But then I heard sounds, loud sounds just like the one I heard earlier and what surprised me the most was the fact that this sounds happened to know my name and kept calling, I didn’t even know what came over me or what made me follow the sound as it pulled me till I fell into this portal or timeline or whatever it is called.” Ethan said as Luna felt confused as she wasn’t aware of any such thing as portals.

“And what happened next?” Luna asked when she noticed how quiet he suddenly was.

“I fell in between a fight, happening between two wolfs…but nothing about the wolfs surprised me but instead the fact that they were able to talk to each other and they were both so huge and fierce as they battled. That was when I made a mistake and tried to take a picture of the fight scene unknown to me that my camera was going to make a sound….” Ethan stopped again, as he felt nervous trying to remember what happened.

Luna noticed he was scared to continue so she moved closer to him, placing her shoulder on his she tapped him gently trying to ease him up which worked.

“You don’t have to be frightened, I meant what said when I told you, you were safe with me.” Luna assured him as he suddenly became calm.

“They rushed up to me with rage as they tried to kill me and I also didn’t give up as I also tried to stop them, using all my might to pull away from their grip but….they…they were too strong and tried to pieces me, it was like they could smell it that I was a human but then they got distracted and ran off.” Ethan said as Luna felt too triggered emotionally to even speak.

“Was it were i found you the fight happened?” Luna asked,

“No…when I woke up from being unconscious it was already nighttime and vultures were slowly walking up to me and I most definitely wasn’t ready to get eaten up by those wicked animals so I crawled my way far away from them till I got to a nearby shade and hid there though I wasn’t aware of how I got out of the shade or for how long I was unconscious till you found me.” Ethan said with a tear drop trailing down his cheeks.

Luna cleaning his tears, Ethan suddenly felt the urge to behave brave and stood up immediately turning his back towards Luna as he cleaned all the tears and compose himself.

Luna chuckled to his fierce act and stood up, she gently placed her hands on his shoulder patting him gently as he turned to stare at her.

“And i am also very sorry for what I am about to say to you.” Ethan added with a sad expression.

“You shouldn’t be sorry, I should be the one apologizing for what on of my pack members did to you…werewolves might be ruthless but we don’t murder innocent people.” Luna said to Ethan who smiled.

“That’s not why I am apologizing.” Ethan began but this time he avoids Luna stares.

“I think I already made a mistake I wasn’t supposed to make from the start.” He paused making Luna more curious to what else he was about to say.

“What mistake is that?” Luna asked.

“You came to rescue me just when I was about to die and I did something wrong by ….by, walking into your world of mysteries,I feel like a lot of unavoidable things is about to happen .” Ethan murmured, making Luna a bit stunned also, as she wondered ...so she wasn’t the only one who found him different and her feeling very different around and couldn’t keep herself from staring, so he also felt the same way about her, it felt like she wanted to stay away but still felt a pull towards him which was about to bring upon so much trouble.

“I can’t believe you felt the same way I felt towards you.” Luna said making Ethan smile widely and the hugging her tightly. Deep within Luna she knew this wasn’t right but she had just never felt the way she did with Ethan with anyone and couldn’t let go even if she tried to.

“Ethan, I….” The sound of a loud gunshot stopped Luna word’s half away as Ethan expression changed and he lets go of her.

Her eyes widen in shock to what she had just seen.

“Ethan!!!!!!!!!!!!”
