Droplets of Night Creatures

5. Our Enemy

After successfully explaining who he was to the Moon, Arnold felt much better. She hopes Moon can go through her pregnancy quietly without being disturbed by the fear of being bullied by the werewolf that is another form of Arnold and his family.

But the sense of calm and comfort that Arnold and the Moon felt only lasted a short time. It turns out that there is still one big secret that Arnold hides from his wife.

“ She doesn't know anything about that George..?” matilda asked worriedly.

“ Kaya he did not know about it because Arnold emang deliberately kept it a secret.

“ Why should be kept secret. Sooner or later the Moon will know too.?” matilda asked not to understand.

“ Probably waiting for their baby to be born later. After that I'm sure Arnold will tell the Moon everything.

“ But it's too late George. The moon should know from now on that her safety and her baby are threatened. So he can get ready if something bad happens to our family.” Matilda said riled up.

“ I know. But I didn't dare force Arnold. You know for yourself how Arnold is..” said George resigned.

“ If my relationship with Arnold were still the same as it was two hundred years ago, maybe I would still have the face to appear in front of him and remind him to say everything to the Moon earlier...,” sahut Matilda with moody face.

“ Forget it Matilda, it's not all your fault.” said George as he rubbed Matilda's shoulders gently to calm her down.

Matilda shook her head while recalling the events of two hundred years ago where she, Arnold, George and several cousins their age were still playing together.

That day Matilda had just received a flower delivery from a man named Dani who was Matilda's lover at that time.

Arnold tries to remind Matilda that Dani is not a good man because he just wants to take advantage of the beautiful-looking Matilda. Matilda was angry and felt Arnold was blocking her happiness until a big fight between them occurred.

“ You only envy Ar...,” Matilda said while sneering.

“ I'm not jealous of you Matilda. Your happiness is also my happiness. I just feel Dani's not sincere with you. He just wants to get close to you because he's betting with his friends to conquer you. If he manages to be your lover and even snatches your chastity, then he becomes the winner and will lead their genk for the next three years.” Arnold explained.

“ Do not carelessly say Ar. You don't have to slander Dani and his friends. They are all good as I am. Maybe you are jealous because Dani managed to touch my heart while you always failed to reach my sympathy.” said Matilda Ketus.

Matilda's words made Arnold's blood boil. He was very angry and did not expect the girl he secretly loved to hurt his heart again. Arnold stood straight in front of Matilda with sharp eyes as if to swallow Matilda alive. Arnold's attitude made Matilda tremble and took a few steps back.

“ I really like you Matilda. In our family, there is no prohibition of marriage between cousins. But your condescending way of speaking to Me for so many times made me realize that you are unworthy of My Love.!” arnold said loudly as he passed.

Matilda flinched then looked at Arnold's departure with a regretful look. But the regret was only a moment because the next second Matilda's heart flowered again to see the presence of Dani in front of her.

“ I want to take you to my friend's birthday party. Do you want to accompany me Matilda..?” ask Dani.

“ Sure, when..?” ask Matilda enthusiastically.

“ This afternoon..,” Dani said quickly.

“ Ok. I'll be ready when you come to pick up later.” Matilda said with a sweet smile.

Dani nodded with a happy face. Matilda thought the happiness on Dani's face was because she managed to take him out to attend her friend's birthday party. But it turns out Matilda's guess was wrong. Dani is happy that she will soon receive her prize and be crowned leader of the genk tonight.

\=====

Matilda is celebrating the birthday party of Dani's friend Steve. At the party they were together. The beautiful and young Matilda manages to grab the attention of Dani and her friends. Many times they praised Matilda to make the girl's feelings soar into space.

But apparently the praise was the beginning of Matilda's destruction. Bad things happen to Matilda and make Arnold who watches her from afar wrath.

Matilda is harassed by Dani in front of her friends. Then easily Dani handed Matilda over to her friends for ‘dicipi’ together. Matilda screamed and cried hysterically to get the unpleasant treatment.

And as Matilda was helpless under the confinement of one of Dani's friends, Arnold entered through the window and attacked all those who had harassed Matilda. Arnold attacked ferociously and only stopped when George and their cousin came to stop him.

“ Enough Arnold. You can kill them all..!” george said at the time.

“ I don't care. They deserve to die for having dared to desecrate Matilda.

“ OK. You guys first I'll catch up...,” said George while pulling Arnold's hand to get out of the place.

Matilda's rapist incident was deliberately hidden by Arnold and all her cousins. But simultaneously storing carcasses, the smell will be smelled as well. Apparently, Dani's family was very angry when they found out that Dani was injured and almost died because of Arnold's beating. They demanded Arnold and all his cousins take responsibility.

The coming demands of the Dani family make the disgrace that is trying to be covered was open. Arnold's extended family does not accept the fact that Matilda was harassed by Dani and her friends. Until finally there was a big battle between the Arnold family and the Dani family who also had werewolf blood in their bodies.

The enmity of the two families continued for hundreds of years. The two families would knock each other down and hurt each other wherever they met. Both families have the same power and

balanced until the two families were crowned to be the strongest family and have great influence. Hence their family members deserve the reins of the werewolf kingdom.

Matilda regretted her attitude that did not listen to Arnold's words first. Even though she was not pregnant due to the rapist*saan, but Matilda also continued to hide from the crowd. Matilda even decided to

not married until he was almost three hundred years old because of trauma.

In contrast to Arnold who has been crowned as the king of werewolves who are required to be married and have offspring to enlarge the werewolf population in this world. Arnold eventually chose to marry a woman from among ordinary people and lived happily for decades. After his partner dies of illness or old age, Arnold will return to anchor to another woman. Arnold met Moon and made her his fifth wife.

Dani was not as lucky as Arnold. The impact of Arnold's blow left him with a serious permanent injury and will not disappear even if hundreds of years have passed. Arnold deliberately gave ‘mark’ that Dani will always remember throughout his age in this world. Dani has a broken leg. Even though the bones have been successfully connected, Dani will not be able to walk normally again. Dani can only walk with help

canes. As hard as he and his family tried to heal the wound, but it has not produced results until now.

The moon is agitated because it repeatedly feels contractions in her pregnancy that are nearing the time of labor. He was seen pacing back and forth in the room while rubbing his distended stomach. The anxiety of the Moon increased when he did not find Arnold with him.

“ Where else did Mr. Arnold go..?” ask the Moon to the waiter at her house.

“ I don't know Madam. I saw Mr. Arnold go with Mr. George.” said the waiter politely.

“ When..?” asked the Moon while grimacing in pain.

“ This Morning Mistress..,” said the waiter.

The servant's answer made the Moon even more anxious. Suddenly George was standing in the doorway with a worried look and a sweaty face. Beside him Matilda also stood in the same state as George.

“ You guys did stand there, ngagetin aja anyway.” said the Moon while rubbing the sweat on his forehead.

“ We have to go now, You can still survive Moon...?” matilda asked as she approached the Moon.

“ May be yes. Where are we going...?” tanya the Moon did not understand.

“ To a safe place..,” George said quickly.

“ What do you mean, where's Arnold.?” ask the Moon for the anxiety on George and Matilda's faces.

“ Arnold is already there. He asked Matilda and I to come get you. We'd better leave now before they come and destroy this place the Moon...,” said George while handing a bag containing the clothes of the Moon and her baby to Matilda then carrying the Moon and rushed out of the room.

“ Them who do you mean..?” ask Moon.

“ Our Enemy...,” George said quickly.

“ Enemy ?. But I don't want to go if Arnold doesn't pick me up George..!” moon said loudly while trying to get down from George's sling.

“ Please don't complicate Us Month. Come on Matilda, we're leaving now..!” take George, who is possessed by Matilda, who has just asked the servants to leave Arnold and Moon's house.

As the Moon continued to wriggle, Matilda finally made the Moon faint. Afterwards she and George quickly leave Arnold's house for a safe haven for the Moon and her baby.

Meanwhile, Arnold is fighting against their family's eternal enemy, Dani and his family. Apparently the Dani family wanted to overthrow Arnold's power as king and chose Dani as his successor. Can Arnold survive and win the fight ?.
