Chapter 50
The Pieces of a Puzzle 








Guesthouse, Jiangtou 
 Girls' Room







She looked at her wrist watch ' it was 9am now. She paced around the room , locking and unlocking her fingers in anxiety and restlessness. Should I go and interrupt? Or at least see what is he upto? What if he hurts her? No, he may not do anything to her. He had looked so worried and concerned when Zhan had just crashed and scattered into his arms. He had appeared so protective , so fatherly in a way and those grey eyes ' the eyes of a predator , a wild mythical animal seemed to melt with concern. No. No matter what a monster Zu had dealt with last night , the man she just saw in the hall comforting and promising a delirious Zhan was not capable of harming Zhan at least , or was he? But then, she could not get the images of Sam unleashing his teeth , his immense physical strength and devilry on her last night. The wounds , the pain was gone but the horror and the terror had seeped into her brains , her heart and ever fiber of her existence. Sighing , Zu sat down by the window , looking out at the village at a distance with her almond eyes. Yes , she was terrified of Sam , terrified of what was happening around her and what could happen. The world was, perhaps not such a normal place after all ' maybe , we all actually co-existed with the so-called-mythical and the supernatural. Right now , there were just two things running in her head ' how was she going to deal with Sam and how was she going to handle Yibo-Zhan with their truths and awaiting horrors. But was she ready to face Sam? 

Zu had come scurrying to the room within minutes of seeing Sam again . She had sent Jia to the village with the caretaker so that their papers are submitted at the administration office. And here she was, all alone- cooped up in this room while Sam dealt with Zhan downstairs. Only Zu knew her own secret. She was NOT ready to face Sam. Not until her nerves stopped shivering.


Just then, there was loud rap on the door and Zu woke up from her long deep thoughts. She gulped as she looked at the door. Who could it be? Ji Li and Jia were in the village with the caretaker. Zhan was in no condition to go around knocking doors ' the kind of state that she was in, she could break down all the doors to catch hold of Yibo for sure!....Oh damn! What if Sam has done something to Zhan? You can't predict a werewolf's moods! Is it Zhan? Zu's own terror of Sam hiding behind her fears for Zhan. Zu jumps to her feet and goes running to open the door.


Zu ( opening the door with a swing)-  Zhan! Did he do something to '..


Zu's words die in her mouth because the one standing in front of her is not Zhan. It's him. Tall, broad , rock solid and with the eyes of an animal ' Sam. He looks at her , slightly taken aback by the horror that he sees in her eyes.


Zu ( immediately steps back )- Sam'..


Sam takes a few steps inside and he can see that everytime he takes a step forward, Zu takes her steps backwards. He sees her body tense up , her fingers clutching on the sides of her shorts , her forehead creasing and fear rising in her eyes. Sam holds up his hands and conveys to her that she need not get scared. He is not coming any closer. He leans on the wall and Zu settles on the bed meters away from him , clearly shivering but putting a brave front.


Sam ( calmly )- Zhan is asleep. He has fallen asleep with great difficulty. And I'. ( eyes going to Zu's tense finger again and again)'. I am going. Going to get Yibo back in here. He is'. ( he  feels he is talking to a wall because he can feel it that Zu wants him to just disappear )' he is being' stupid.
