Droplets of Night Creatures

184. Seeking Prey

Aruna had just finished performing Isya prayers when Kautsar arrived home.

" Assalamualaikum..," said Kautsar.

" Wa aleikumsalam, how come you've just come home...?" asked Aruna while kissing the back of her husband's hand in reverence.

" Yes, there was a little problem in the office." said Kautsar with a wry smile.

" It's done, isn't it...?" ask Aruna.

" Thank God" said Kautsar and kissed Aruna.

" Have not prayed Isya yet...?" asked Aruna while helping to take off the Kautsar jacket.

" hasn't. I want to bathe first all abis, abis it just pray..," said Kautsar.

" okay. Ntar I prepared his clothes yes..," said Aruna.

" Ok, thank you dear..," said Kautsar, breaking Aruna's hair with anxiety.

" Together..," said Aruna.

Finish bathing Kautsar directly perform Isya prayers. Afterwards he headed to the dining room where Aruna was preparing dinner.

Kautsar hugged Aruna tightly behind him and landed a kiss on Aruna's right cheek. While hugging Kautsar accidentally pressed Aruna's back and it made the wife grimace in pain.

" Sshhh.," hissed Aruna to make the Kautsar loosen his arms.

" Why do you, honey, is anyone sick...?" ask Kautsar.

" Mmm, my back hurts a little." said Aruna.

" Try me to look," Kautsar said as he pulled the T-shirt that Aruna wore.

Both Kautsar's eyes are perfectly rounded when they see a bluish bruise as wide as an adult's palm on Aruna's back. Kautsar tried to touch her with his fingertips and Aruna appeared to tiptoe in a sign that the bruise was painful.

" Your back is bruised Darling. You fell down...?" kautsar asked and then grabbed Aruna's hand and took her to the living room.

There the Kautsar sat Aruna on the couch and again observed the bruises on Aruna's back.

" Brains yes. Pantesan is very sick..," said Aruna Lirih.

" This is why, you fell where. Or maybe hit something...?" kautsar.

" I didn't fall or crash. This is because" Aruna's speech was interrupted because she remembered the origin of the bruise on her back.

" For what reason...?" ask Kautsar impatiently.

" It's gapapa. We eat first yuk, ntar abis eat I'm storyain..," said Aruna while lowering her T-shirt.

Then Aruna pulled Kautsar's hand into the dining room to make the Kautsar more curious.

" But..," Kautsar did not have time to finish his words because Aruna immediately sucked a mouthful of rice and side dishes into the mouth of the Kautsar.

" Sstt.., eat first just chat..," said Aruna.

" I haven't read Aruna's meal prayer." Kautsar protested, quipping in annoyance.

Their dinner continued quietly. Aruna always tried to avoid the gaze of Kautsar as if he did not want to discuss the bruises on his back. Aruna felt that he should discuss it with George and Matilda first before discussing it with the Kautsar.

That night the air was cold. The atmosphere was quiet gripping no sound. But the full moon seems to hang beautifully in the sky there to make the atmosphere feel even more gripping.

In a house, a woman without clothes was standing by the window. His long hair covered his white back. Both of his eyes looked at the moon in the night sky. A mysterious grin seemed to decorate his face.

" I have to get a special prey. I don't want to waste the opportunity that came this time like last. It was enough I held myself back all this time and it all ended in vain..," the woman muttered as she clenched her hands.

As the night increased, changes also occurred in the figure of the beautiful woman. His smooth white face was slowly wrinkled and folded. There are fine hairs coming out of the pores of his skin. Initially short and smooth, over time grow elongated and deep brown. The same feathers also grew all over his body, hands and feet.His originally standing upright slowly bent over.

In an instant the beautiful woman turned into a huge wolf with a deep brown fur. As he flicked the hair on his head his human face had turned into a wolf face complete with a mouth filled with fangs.

Then the beautiful female incarnate wolf darted through the window and went through the darkness of the night.

Apparently the wolf went to a slum to find prey there.

After observing the situation for a moment, the wolf appeared to step slowly down the road in the slum. He looked to the right and to the left as if looking for where his prey.

The wolf stopped right in front of a house whose door was slightly open. The wolf came closer to the door to see the situation inside the house. The two wolf eyes seemed to sparkle as they watched the baby swing hanging unsupervised. Inside the swing looks like a baby is asleep.

With one jump the wolf grabbed the baby and took him away. There was no sound of the baby crying because the wolf was directly biting right on the baby's neck.

The wolf sped very fast splitting the road in the slum. Until the residents who passed him thought it was just the wind because the wolf was so fast running.

Shortly thereafter, a scream was heard from the house where the baby came from. A woman ran out of the house crying. In an instant, people came to see what had happened.

" What's up Min, why are you screaming. It's the night, you know...!" said one citizen.

" My son is missing Ma'am. Baby missing...!" mintarsih said in between her tears.

" Lost how the hell. Did you taro where your baby is...?" ask the people not to believe.

" I taro on the swing, keep me stay a while to the bathroom. When I returned, my son did not exist. The swing is empty and the door is open." said Mintarsih.

" Well, how reckless you are Min. Maybe your lost son was taken under wewe..," said one resident.

" Please help me, please find my son...!" mintarsih said hysterically.

Residents rushed to find Mintarsih babies to the village. But after a night of searching for the results nil. The two-month-old Mintarsih baby did not know where.

Meanwhile, the wolf that kidnapped the baby Mintarsih appeared to stop at an empty land. He put a dying Mintarsih baby on the ground just like that. Apparently due to a bite on his neck, the baby had severe injuries to his neck and difficulty breathing.

After putting the baby on the ground, the wolf appeared to retreat while observing the baby for a moment. There was a sense of compassion in his heart as he looked at the baby. But when he saw the blood flowing from the baby's neck, the sense of compassion disappeared instantly.

With a howl the wolf ripped the baby's neck and then inhaled his blood greedily. After being satisfied to breathe the baby's blood, he left the baby's body just like that.

The wolf ran fast towards his house as if racing against time. On the way home, the change happened again. The wolf's run slowed down and slowly its wolf body turned into a human figure as it was..

" A little more, let's Kalisha a little more." the woman muttered as she sped up her run.

Finally Kalisha arrived in front of the window of her room. He immediately slipped into the room and breathed a sigh of relief when his human form returned to perfection when he had returned to the room.
