Love Turns to Death Part 2

Yea, I know.. it’s you, Jacob. You’re the monster. I should stay away from you. When are you going to—oh right. He sniffed in the love potion. He won’t leave anytime soon…

Othello shook her head and looked into Jacob’s eyes.

“My name is Othello. Nice to meet you, Jacob. I think I should go. It’s getting dark.”

Not that it matters to him or me. I can see in the dark.

Jacob didn’t want Othello to leave after just knowing her name.

“Where do you live? I’ll escort you back.”

No! Why is he so stubborn…? What if he sees me one day in animal form? Would he personally kill me?

“No thank you. My ma doesn’t want me to hang around strangers, not meaning you, you’re one of my friends now. Ma just doesn’t want people she doesn’t know to know me. She’s just being cautious.

Jacob looked hurt at first but after hearing the explanation, he relaxed.

“Ok. Let’s see each other another time. It’s rare for me to find a friend in these woods,” he said with a smile.

“Bye, Jacob.”

“Bye, Othello.”
