The Love of a Lycan

Oh the past it haunted me

Oh the past it wanted me dead

Oh the past it tormented me

Oh the past is hunting me

-I am still here, by: SIA-

**************

Raine cowered upon seeing the man's back, he did exactly the same thing like he had done to Raine years ago.An eerie chuckle sounded from him, while he was burning the girl's arm with the remaining cigarette between his fingers. 

The man and the girl still didn't realize about Raine's presence there.

While the man had his back facing Raine, the girl curled her body into a ball and put her head between her knees in fear.

Seeing this scene felt almost like watching a movie about herself, it evoked Raine's deepest fear.

Was she travelling back to the day when she was still in the mental institution? Did she have to experience that all over again? How long would it take until she could meet Torak on that fateful night?

Raine was shivering in fear, she didn't think that she could go through that again. 

She didn't want to experience it again…

Without Raine realizing it, her fear turned into a soft sniffle that drew the man's attention. Raine almost screamed on top of her lungs if it wasn't because she suddenly lost her voice due to her panic.

"Who is there!?" the man turned around and finally found Raine's figure, crouching down on the floor, hugging her own body while trying to stop it from shivering. "You?!" He squinted his eyes dangerously. 

Raine's instinct of survival, made her backed away until her back hit the wall behind her.

"You look familiar…" The man mumbled as he stood up and approached Raine. "I think I know you…" He walked closer towards her and crouched down to meet her eyes.

Raine was hyperventilating when that man touched her head and tidied her hair to have a better look on her face. 

"You are… Raine, right?" That man recognized her right away.After all, she was his favorite when she was there. Couldn't talk and always be a good girl. "Yes, you are Raine…" He smirked deviously.

He looked at the door, but it was still locked, then he looked around him, but no one there. "How did you get inside?" He asked Raine in a dreamy voice while he twirled her hair between his fingers. "I remember you have been discharged for almost one and half year now…"

The man pinched Raine's chin and raised her head, he was excited when he saw the familiar fear in those eyes. 

"Why are you here now girl?" He snickered.

That man didn't change much since the last time Raine saw him.It was like a miracle when Raine was no longer under his supervision and moved to a normal room.That later on she was placed in the orphanage and never saw him again until now.

Aside from her trauma and fear, Raine realized one thing from the way he talked. 

One and half years was the right time.

She didn't travel back to the time when she was in the hospital, but she simply showed up there right after she met Aeon in the dark room.

Raine couldn't figure out why she was there instead of somewhere else, but there was a ray of hope for a chance of escaping the situation.

She just needed to go out of this room, and this hospital. So that she could go and find Torak. It should be easy to find him, right? He was the hottest topic in town recently. 

Thus, when she realized her chance to escape from him, Raine grabbed the man's hand, which was holding her chin, and bit him. 

She didn't hold back when she did that, no matter how loud that man screamed in agony she didn't want to release him yet.

Only when she felt sharp pain on the back of her head, as a result of him hitting her, Raine released him and crawled towards the door, trying to get out of that room.

The man roared in pain. The next thing he saw was Raine, who was trying to unlock the door. Then he pounced on her and grabbed her hair, yanked her back.

Raine's small body flew a few meters away and hit the cabinet behind her as she felt another acute pain on her elbow.Yet it didn't stop her when her fingers touched a metal tray that was usually used for a patient to eat.

Raine grabbed it and whacked him with it real hard, until he stumbled back and fell on his back.She didn't stop there.She hurled the metal tray towards his head, made sure it hit the target and hastily back to the locked door and tried to open it again.

Once the door opened, she dashed out of the room and ran through the long corridor that she was so familiar with.

It almost felt like she was running away from her nightmare.

The long corridor, the room, the smell that she didn't want to remember again, were coming back and hunted her one more time.

Raine could feel her breath become shallow, and her legs grew weak.But she pushed herself to run faster.

Yet, her speed was gradually decreasing. Then she felt that man had regained his composure and saw him chasing after her. 

Once he managed to grab a hold of her, he wouldn't let her go easily after what she had done. 

Raine was trying to move even faster, but that angry man was able to catch up with her before she could reach the other door.

He grabbed her hair harshly and slammed her straight to the floor. When her face landed hard on the solid ground, Raine could feel her lips starting to bleed.

"How dare you, crazy girl, did that to me?!" That man was furious. "Since you are here, I will make sure you will not get out ever again!" He shouted at Raine, and kicked her stomach as all he could see was red.

He was the chief nurse in this ward.So all the patients there were under his observation, thus he would give Raine what she deserved for what she had done. 

Raine tried to cover her face and protected her body from his brutal kicks, when she heard a sudden roar that could shake the entire building.

And there, Raine saw a beautiful white Lycan with his red eyes, moving at a speed of lightning towards her attacker.
