Chapter 37

  Brazil~~

  (Carnival Beast)

  “Phew….this is getting interesting,” Megan yelled in glee as she watched some dancers performing at the carnival. They were dressed in colorful outfits, and they were also not left out.

  Megan could be seen wearing a feathery bra, with a high waist short skirt, sown to look like a peacock tail. She painted her face with blue colors, and a pink lipstick lay across her rosy lips. On her head is a peacock-like crown, which matches her clothes. She looked stunning in her outfit.

  “Sure…they are just getting started, ” Oscar replied, taking her hand into his as he led her to the reserved place where they were to sit.

  “So what do you want me to get for you, erm… ice cream, fries, hotdog, chips…sodas.. or…”

  “Come on darling..you know my taste. Let’s just go for some ice cream; I wanna cool down my nerves,” She moaned out, as he chuckled, placing a soft kiss on her lips.

  “I will be back soon; just wait for here” he stated as he went towards a shop that sold only ice cream. Megan silently watched as other people showed their skills; she was enjoying the show, wishing she could also go up there and show them what she got. But if she makes any attempt to do so, she might be recognized, and that will do no good since her guards are not here with her. She decided not to come with even Lottie, her maid. She wanted this vacation to be between her and the love of her life, Oscar.

  She heaved a soft sigh, watching everyone as they move about doing one thing or the other. Brazil is indeed a beautiful country, and their carnivals are really exciting. She brought out her phone to take quick pics, wondering why Oscar wasn’t back yet. Raising the phone up to her face, she clicked on the camera app and smiled into it. She took several pictures and was about to take the last one when something caught her attention.

  Someone was standing behind her, also looking into the camera; she scoffed going through the other pictures she had taken, but didn’t see the fellow in any of it. She turned to look behind her but couldn’t see anyone. A surge of fear engulfed her, as the fellow was clearly different in the dress he was putting on. Everyone here is wearing something either colorful or funny, but his dress is rather different.

  She stood up from where she sat, making her way into the crowd as her heart beats faster and louder. She could clearly hear every beat it made. Is he back for her? What the hell does he want from her, she thought, forcing her way through the crowd just for him to lose sight of her?

  But he kept coming, smirking; she couldn’t see his face well due to the dark night and the hood he was wearing over his head. But she could see his jaw, his lower face, and, least of all, the fang that slipped its way through the wicked smirk he made. She could see her world falling to the ground as she stumbled on an unseen object but managed to pull herself up.

  She ran her way up to the large dressing house where the outfits were gotten, still trying to keep sight of him, following her. He was taking his time to walk, but he wasn’t slow because whenever she looked behind her, he was always a few steps away.

  Her heart thumps faster as he walks closer to her, already an inch away. She could feel her legs remaining rigid to the ground, unable to move from her current position. Was he using a spell on her? Why couldn’t she move? She cried. But what baffles her most was that, the crowd was oblivious of what was going on. No one seems to notice the beast in their midst except her.

  The beast came further, bringing out its claw a full length as he almost stabbed her with it; she let out a shrilling scream

  “Argh”

  And just in time, a savior came to her aid. A figure ran past her towards the beautiful fellow, pushing him to the ground with a loud thud as they both engaged in a fierce fight, claws digging into their skin and fangs fighting to gain domination. The one winning seems to be a female, as she ripped the beast off his cloak. The crowd around was now aware of what was going on, and they all scrambled backward to their safety.

  “We got this…we got this…everyone stays out of the scene..this is the police,” An officer shouted into a horn speaker as the police vehicles took over the spots, vomiting out a series of policemen, who brought out their guns ready to receive a command to shoot from their captain.

  The beast and the female were still fighting their way to success and defeat, not minding the events going on around them. But they were too fast in their movement, that not even the police could figure out their faces and know where to aim at.

  Megan’s POV~~

  “Babe…babe…Megan….” I heard Oscar’s voice from within the crowd. He seems to be finding his way through looking for me. The fear sticking in my body couldn’t help me reply or even walk. I only stood rigid on the ground as I watched him make his way to where I stood.

  “Babe…Jesus..what’s wrong...we need to leave now..” he stated, pulling my hand as we walked out of the scene. People were already leaving, to save their life from being on the line, while others were taking video of all that was going on. The police were doing their best to keep the people to safety from the dreaded beast having a fight in the middle of the town, instead of the forest where they belong. With the look of things, I believe they are vampires, but what the hell will they be doing here in Brazil?

  We managed to force our way out of the scene and went back to our lounge. But throughout the ride, Oscar was clearly acting uneasy; he wasn’t concentrating on the road; I even offered to drive, but he declined. I was expecting him to scold me for leaving when he clearly told me not to, but he didn’t. It felt like he didn’t care about what had happened; he didn’t even ask me why I was looking scared when he saw me, what was going on, I thought, but he didn’t bother to ask anything. I will just tell him about my own encounter when we get home.

  “Shit…:” Oscar exclaimed for the third time as he paced around the room with his phone in his hand. He seemed to be dialing a number, but the call wasn’t going through. He looked pissed, and at the same time, worried. I went in to take a quick but hot bath to calm my nerves; walking out with a hot steam still coming out from my body, I saw him in the same position, with beads of sweat on his forehead

  “Babe..what’s wrong” I asked. He paused to look at me

  “It’s nothing…just that...I kinda had a deal with someone earlier today..and erm. I can’t reach her... I mean him.. Yeah..I can’t reach him. And I really need to see him, right now. Look dear, I will be back soon, please don’t give me the stress of looking for you. Because what you did back there at the carnival ground was wrong, you left where we were supposed to stay and made me start looking for you…”He yelled

  “I didn’t leave on my own free will. Could you believe that that monster was after me, I had to run away from there before all those scenes started.” I resorted, why the hell will he be passing his aggression on me

  He squinted

  “What do you mean?”

  “The f**king beast was chasing after me…damn..you can’t leave me here to stay alone this night. Why can’t whatever you want to do wait till tomorrow. It’s late already” I pouted, hugging him, but he slightly pulls me off his body

  “I don’t understand you, but the truth is that you will be fine ..ok..look... I got you some ice cream, fries, chips, and a few pies..just have anyone you want before I get back, okay?” he stated, but I shook my head.

  “Oscar…I’m scared…I’m scared of staying alone” I cried out

  “You will be fine Babe…trust me..this lounge is fully secured, no one can get in except you let them”

  I sigh, nodding my head.’ I won’t be able to stop him no matter what. He seems to really wanna go out, but whosoever is making him this way will surely have a taste of my fist.

  Oscar’s POV

  I breathed a sigh of relief as I walked to Violet’s lounge. She wouldn’t let me rest if I didn’t go check up on her. She claimed that this action should be for both of us and not with me and Megan. I have spent the day with Megan; she wants me to spend the night with her, which I am about to do.

  I knocked on the door once, and she opened it almost immediately. I stared down at her body; she wasn’t wearing a single piece of cloth.

  I have a frustrated sigh

  “Violet…”

  “Shh….just come in” she muttered, closing the door behind

  “And why the hell are you naked? What if it was someone else who knocked on the door, and you just opened it without trying to find out who he was."

  “And why do you think he will come to my door aside from you.” She snapped as I ruffled my hair. I seriously don’t know what has gotten over me. I really love Megan from the start, but this girl standing here is always making me go crazy for her, and that destroys whatever thing I call love for Meg. Right now, I can’t control my urge to see her body; what has she done to me?

  “Oscar?” She called drifting me off my thoughts

  “Huh..” I replied, looking dazed at her

  “Make love to me…” She winked, and just as if I was being controlled, I saw myself covering the space between us as I placed my lips on hers.
