When Lunar Wolves Rule

When Lunar Wolves Rule: Part 2(Second Part)

The Academy

It had only been two months since we moved to the Banther Tribe, since school had been out the day we moved. Me, Juno, and Kimmy had just been hanging around town. It was now December 5th, 20 days before my birthday.

“So?”

Kimmy had been pestering me non - stop about coming to stay over at her house for my birthday, “I’d have t-to ask my m-mom and dad.” I say after waiting about ten minutes of her going nuts. Juno just stared needles into Kimmy’s head, why, no idea. Then he said “Ugh, I already have to deal with you, and now I have to deal with the shrimp too.” I roll my eyes and tell them goodbye, then I ride my bike home. My parents bought a 4 story mansion. And I thought it wasn’t necessary for us to have such a big house, but dad said that we’d use the very top floor for training. The one below that has me and Nico’s room, and the one below that has mom and dad’s room. And the bottom floor is the kitchen, dining room, living room, all the works.

I ran up to my room to get on my training gear. Shorts, tank top, sneakers, scrunchie, and fighting poll. Then I ran up to the training room, no one there, “BOO!” Nico pops out of nowhere, and instinctively I try to knock his head off with my poll. He counters it with his own poll, “You better be glad dad is late, because he would be pretty peeved at how slow you reacted.” I just continue to try to knock his head off. He goes for my legs, I fall on my butt. That’s it, I use my pole to propel me upward, I kick him in the stomach, and when I land on my feet I use my left leg to knock him off his feet. He lays on his back and says “Heh heh, ow.” I grin and hand out my hand, he grabs it and I yank him back to his feet. “Ow, I think you broke my everything” But he obviously isn’t in that much pain cuz he knocks me in the side with his leg, for the next two hours we train. I go to my bathroom to take a nice hot bath, after that dad gets home. “Where in the world have you been!?” Mom asks furiously. Dad just smiles and kisses her on the cheek, then he comes over to me and throws me into the air, when he puts me back down he says “I found the perfect school, Lilac.” He shows me a picture of a fancy looking academy, Banther Academy. I feel happy, mostly because Kimmy and Juno are going there.

The next day I rode my bike to Kimmy’s house. I know she’s gonna ask if my parents said yes, they did. But I’m gonna let her ponder for a little longer. Juno already knows how chill my parents are about me hanging with them, so he already knows the answer. All three of us ride to school, considering the fact that this is an all year around academy we won’t see our parents till christmas. Nico was a few grades ahead of me and insisted on going to the same school. A school attendant showed us our dorms, one dorm held 2 girls and two boys, so I was rooming with Juno and Kimmy, along with a brown haired kid, Blinnko, he was from the Assyrian family, and his mom owned a very popular fashion company. He was kind of goofy, Kimmy thought he was charming. I guess opposites really do attract.

Since this is only the first few weeks of school, we didn’t have enough time to get started with any real assignments. So after school Kimmy, Juno and Blinnko, I call him Teddy, were exploring the school. I ran to my tree. If I were in my human form it would take hours but in my wolf form it took minutes. I layed down in front of it and fell asleep.

Now just so you know I have had the strangest dreams, but none like the one I had that day. It was beautiful, flowers everywhere, bushes plentiful with wild berries, fruits of all kinds in trees. But the most breathtaking thing was who were there, creatures of all kinds, humans, banthers, tigers, bunnies, and more. But the most creatures I saw were . . . wolves. But they weren't just one type of wolf, there were hundreds of kinds. Then the scene switched. I was in a big room filled with tigers, one stood out. I held my breath. It was the former queen of the tiger tribe, Amiliana. She was known for being ruthless and not ever showing mercy. I was not impressed nor was I scared. I held my breath because below her stood someone I never thought I’d see again. My mother, Moonela. At the time my mother looked to be 19 or 20 years old, before my mother could finish what she was saying the tiger queen boomed “YOU DARE CALL ME HEARTLESS, YOU WRETCH!!!” My mother stands and yells “I WANT MY BABY BACK YOU, HEARTLESS BEAST!” The tiger queen snarls a fighting snarl, then waves her hand in the air. Guards advance on my mother, she easily takes them out. I am mesmerized. She darts out of the throne room and to a room fit for a child, but I am not in the crib, I am in a man’s arms. When he spots my mother he almost drops me

“You better not drop my baby, you thief!”

“Moonela, but how. . . what?”

After he gets over his shock he hands me to her and says “I’ll make some excuse to how you escaped” He kisses her on the cheek and pushes her out the open window. What happens next wakes me up in a cold sweat, I swear I could feel us hurling toward the ground.

The next day I’m far too distracted to pay attention to Kimmy’s rambling. She must notice this and says “Something's wrong, you're usually quiet but you always answer me when. . .”

The last part is cut off because when I see him I just about have a heart attack, the man from my dream. When I see him in person for the first time I know. . . Goldivan Princeton is my father. After classes I have trouble going to sleep, so instead I try to find him. But I couldn’t do it alone. I climb onto the roof of my place - still in my human form - and howl. In a matter of seconds Claw and Aragorn are up there with me. I smile, there they are, my pack. “So. . . why are we way up here? I hate heights.” Claw says, tilting her head up and closing her eyes. Aragorn just stares at me with those red eyes that seem to be staring straight into my soul. I look away quickly, “I-I need your help. . . finding someone.” Aragorn frowns and crosses his arms, but says nothing. “Okay can we do it someplace else, I prefer not to become a lunar pancake.” I giggle and lead them into my room, let's just hope the administrator doesn’t come check the dorms. Boys aren’t really allowed in the female side of the dorm. I bite my lip so hard it starts to hurt, and notice Aragorn giving me that look that says ‘stop doing that before I get mad’. Claw giggles at this and says, “Soooooo, who are we looking for?” “My dad.” I say simply. Claw’s face goes pale, and Aragorn’s goes red with anger and he says, “What!?” I tell them about my dream and I’m about to tell them that I saw him, but there’s a knock on the door, rough but sort of timid, “Hey shrimp, it’s time to eat Kimmy made spaghetti, your favorite.” It’s Juno, I walk to the door and open it, when he sees Claw and Aragorn his face goes numb. He frowns and says “You do know boys aren’t allowed in the girls dorm right?” I roll my eyes and pull him in and say “Well now you're in my dorm, so shut it snowflake.” Claw giggles. Juno just rolls his eyes. “Well if they're here, they're here, so might as well let them eat with us.” He walks out of my room. Once he shuts the door Claw and me break down laughing. Now we're at the table laughing and eating, Kimmy is asking Aragorn a bunch of questions, while Juno glares at him. “Hey Claw, you thirsty, come on.” Claw takes the hint and follows me into the kitchen area. “So, he’s cute,” Claw says, smirking at me, I throw a napkin at her and whisper “Ew, he's just overprotective, like Nico.”

“Oh come on look at the way he’s looking at you, oh my god, and look at Aragorn.” I did and then looked away. Both of them are staring at me, then I notice Teddy, and giggle “Well since we're doing this, look at Teddy.” Claws eyes go wide and she starts blushing. I laugh, she does, too. Once we were done I asked her what I wanted to ask her “So, um, what do you think of my dad, I mean about finding him.” That’s when I hear Kimmy gasp “WHAT!” I quickly covered her mouth.

“SHHH!”

“OMG! OMG! OMG!” but my hand is still over her mouth so it sounds something like “HMF! HMF! HMF!” Claw giggles, and once my hand is off Kimmy’s mouth I explain, and she tries really hard not to scream, “I’m totally telling the guys!” I sigh, knowing I can’t stop her, she runs back to the table. When me and Claw get back to the table Juno is staring at me like he wants to tell me something but can’t find the right words, I ignore it, and say “Uh, guys I’m gonna go use the bathroom, I’ll be right back.” I shuffle out of the room and into the restroom. I clench the sink, Dizzy, so dizzy. When I look in the mirror Claw and Kimmy are behind me I jump, and spin around, they look worried. “Dizzy.” I say straining to get the words out, Kimmy yells something and Claw is catching me, but the rest is amiss, because everything is engulfed in black.
