Watch As The Moon Rises

The transition

I start running again but I have my head turned looking at what’s happening to Midnight. Vulmar has Midnight by his hair dragging him to a cage. Memories are coming back to when I met a fair skinned, dark eyed, brunette haired with red streak, an hourglass body, beauty, her name was Precious Sunflower, I was in love with her. People didn’t like girls liking girls in that decade. She was bullied for “Not being pretty enough” ,“ for being adopted and “ for liking me. ” It's been 5 years and I still can’t accept what has happened, I'm still angry at myself. I should have known. I should have stopped her. I'm running with my eyes closed. I can feel the crunching of the soft yet hard leaves beneath my feet. I have tears dripping down my face. It felt like I was crying an ocean of tears. They wouldn’t stop dropping like leaves in the fall. As I ran I reached a clearing. I could see it through my tear filled eyes. I stopped and fell to my knees. It started to rain. It’s almost like mother nature knew it was a dreadful day. I could feel the raindrop on my soft, tan skin. I look up into the deep dark gray clouds.

“Why. WHYYYYY! Why me? I had something great. Why did you take him away? MIDNIGHTTTT! I’M SOrry please forgive me.” I screamed until my lungs hurt.

My heart hurt like someone shot an arrow through it. My heart aches for my beloved. I'm overcome with vexation. I had a dragon’s wrath, a flame that ignited in me when I saw Midnight dragged away from me. I don’t know what’s happening to me. I feel something trying to get out. My eyes turn an amber gold. My eyes got bigger. My mouth got wider and longer with sharper teeth.“What’s happening to me?” I yell in pain.

As every bone in my body is breaking and rearranging. My bones were making crunching, “Pop” “c***k” “snap” noises. My memories of a forgotten day are all flooding back to me. Like a flowing river of knowledge. When I was a child, 9 years old, on a full moon after I went through puberty for the first time. I transformed into a were-elf. My mother being a powerful elf witch, along with some of my other family members. Casted a spell to suppress my werewolf part that I had gotten from my father. I could hear my mother in the background chanting.

She was saying,”Bestia intus non erit, bestiam auferam.”*

She was saying it over and over and her family and the other witches started chanting it too.

The pain of losing Midnight must have unlocked my werewolf side. The vengeance my wolf side feels after watching Midnight getting ripped from my life, was unreal. It felt so bloodthirsty. My senses are stronger. I’m quicker. I can hear for miles. I’ve never felt so strong. This whole time I felt like something was missing and now I have it back. No one can stop me from getting midnight back.

I get up eager to go back and fight for Midnight’s freedom. I was thirsty for blood and I wasn't gonna stop until I got it. I wasn’t ready to lose everything again. My heart was beating erratically. My breathing was getting heavy. I start running back to where I last saw Midnight. I could smell his blood from miles away. I could hear his voice whispering my name.

“Crescent, I hope you got away,” Midnight said.
