Love In The Moonlight

Chapter 1: The Transformation

DAVE’S POV

(Dave at the hospital still unconscious)

I was at the hospital still unconscious when my mom and the doctor walked in, my mom stared at my condition in disbelief, she walked straight to where I was lying and placed her hands on my chest. When the doctor saw this she said to my mom, it gonna be alright, you’re son isn’t dead, he’s just unconscious. When my mom heard this she replied, what can we do to bring him back? the doctor was about to give my mom a response when I opened my eyes slowly, I looked around and saw my mom beside me, I stared at her and said, what happened, my mom hugged me and said, I thought I lost you. Then she stared at me and said what happened Dave you were at the road covered in blood, who did this to you, I stared at my mom and said, I don’t remember anything. When my mom heard this she stared at me in surprise and said, it alright, just rest okay, I will come check on you tomorrow, she pecked me on the cheek and left my ward along with the doctor.

I lay back on the bed, wandering what had happened to me when suddenly I remembered. I remembered the woman who was torn into half and the werewolf man, I became terrified, I stood from the bed, took out the drips that was injected into my veins and left the room. When I got out I discovered it was late, I turned and saw my mom talking with the doctor, I walked up to her, when she saw me she was surprised, she stared at me and said, what is it, Dave? Why aren’t you resting, I stared at her and said, I can’t, I can’t stay here. When my mom heard this she asked, why? I didn’t give her a response, I just stared at her closely, then she stared at the doctor and said, I’m sorry but my son will be coming with me home tonight, when the doctor heard this she replied, it alright, as long as you’re both safe. Then she gave my mom some drugs for the scratches on my chest and neck. My mom took it and we both head towards the car, I went in, sat at the front seat, then my mom started the car and drove off.

There was silence in the car for about 2 minutes then my mom asked, what happened? You know you can talk to me, I stared at my her and didn’t utter a word until we got home. I got down from the car and went straight to my room. My mom stared at me as I walked passed her, she then followed me and was about to enter into my room but I shut the door against her, she paused in disbelief, then she screamed, Dave I want you to know that I am here for you okay. I will leave your dinner on the table.

I sat on my bed and kept on remembering what had happened to me last night. I couldn’t get it off my mind, my heart kept on pounding like I was still at the scene of the incident. I was filled with fear then suddenly my phone rang, I picked up the phone to see who it was.

Dave are you alright, Isaac asked, I was silent for a while then I replied, I’m okay. Isaac then replied, Dave, what happened? I couldn’t give a response to Isaac; I immediately cut the call and whispered in my mind, I just wish I could share it with you. I laid on the bed and tried closing my eyes but I couldn’t, I kept on hearing this high pitch noise in my head, it gave me an headache, it was mild at first and it stopped then it came again this time it was really painful, I held my head and whined calmly, the pain began to increase, my heart began to beat really fast, I fell to the floor, whining in pain, then suddenly I felt this rush of anger, I’ve never felt this way in my life, I felt so angry, the hairs on my arms and on my face began to grow really fast, my nails were getting longer, my teeth were also getting longer, I tried getting up but I staggered and fell, the headache kept on increasing, it was like the more headache I have the angrier I get, I then growled like an animal, more like a werewolf, I raised my head to the mirror and noticed my eye pupils had turned yellow. I lost control of myself, I didn’t know what was happening any more. There was this thirst for blood in me, I felt like shredding everything I come in contact with. I stood up slowly and howled really loud, then I jumped out of the window and entered into a forest.

My mom on the other hand heard the howl and ran to my room to see what was going on when she got to my room, she opened the door slowly and noticed I wasn’t there, the whole room was messed up, there were broken glasses all over the floor, my mom screamed out my name, Dave, Dave, Dave, where are you?

It was 7 am; I was still asleep when  I heard footsteps; I opened my eyes and found myself in a forest completely naked then I turned and saw a man standing right behind me, he stared at me and said, "Hey kid, are you alright?" I nodded slowly in disbelief. I kept wondering, how did I get here? I stared at the man and said, please do you have some clothes I could borrow, he nodded and said, follow me, I followed him to his inn, when we got there, I noticed there were all sorts of writing on his walls, he stared at me and said, how did you end up in the forest, I stared at him and said, I don't know. Then he asked me, what about your parents? I didn't reply; he gave me the clothes; I immediately wore them and stepped out. I was on my way home when I heard the man's voice, don't ever enter into the forest again, you're so lucky to be alive. I stared at him and went on my journey.

When I got home I saw my mom standing outside with some policemen; I was suspicious; I walked slowly towards her as soon as she saw me she paused for a while and kept staring at me, she joyfully hugged me and said, Dave, what happened last night, why did you leave your room late at night, scattering broken glass all over the floor. When I heard this, I was confused because I didn't know when and how I left my room; however, I couldn't deny what she was asking because I woke up in a forest; I stared at my mom and said, mom, I don't know what happened, I woke up this morning in a bush, totally naked. When she heard this she stared at me in surprise and brought me inside then she asked me slowly, Dave, what's up with you? You've been acting strange as of late. What's going on? Please talk to me? I looked into my mom's eyes and could see her desire to know what is happening in my life. I stared at her for a while and said, mom, I know you want to know what is going on with me, and I promise to tell you once I get back from school; when my mom heard this, I could tell she was furious; however she never showed it, she smiled and said, alright eat, take your bath and head for school. I nodded and went into my room. The whole room was messed up; there was shattered glass all over the floor, I stepped on one, and it cut my leg; I whined and sat slowly on the bed to take off the glass from my leg, as I did, my leg healed immediately. What! I screamed in surprise, I pressed it to be sure I wasn't dreaming, but I felt no pain; it was healed. I stood up and walked carefully to the bathroom; suddenly, I heard my mom's voice from afar; it was like I could hear everything; I closed my ears and began to bathe. When I was done I came out of the shower, took out my clothes, put them on and head for the dining; I sat to eat my food, then I began to hear a heartbeat, it was beating fast, I looked up and saw a policeman behind me, I stared at him suspiciously, he smiled and said, Dave, I would like to ask you a few questions, his face was like that of the man that attacked me last night, but I wasn't sure, I was already shivering when my mom walked in, she stared at me and noticed how sweaty I was then she discharged the policemen and came to me, I stared at her, then she said in a calm voice, it alright son, I am here for you. I smiled, then I took my bag and set out for school.

When I got to school, I paused for a while, looked around and began to head to class; on my way, I met Isaac. When Isaac saw me, he screamed from afar and began to run towards me; when I saw him coming, I exclaimed silently, oh my God! Isaac jumped on me, and we crashed to the floor; I stood up quickly and began to dust off the dirt on my shirt; I stared at Isaac, then he smiled and said, Dave, I've missed you. I stared at him, irritated by what he said. Then he said, I was planning to check on you today; I'm surprised you still came to school. I stared at Isaac and said, I couldn't stay at home; Isaac replied, it alright. So what happened last night? When I heard this, I was silent for a while, then I said to him, why is everyone always asking me what happened to me last night? I don't want to talk about it; when Isaac heard this, he stared at me and said, it alright, let's go to class. We both entered the class, and the lecture had already started; I stared at everyone and could tell from the look on their faces that I was a sore loser; I sighed and went to my seat, then the teacher continued the lecture. I took out my pen and note and was about to write when I heard a voice, it sounded like the person was right beside me, I looked to see who it was and I saw two girls whispering, "I just wish this lecture was over, I have a date to catch with ken". I shook my head and tried concentrating, but I kept hearing the whispers of everyone; I was starting to feel uncomfortable, my heart was beginning to beat fast, I was starting to have a headache; I looked at my hands and noticed my fingers were getting longer, I stood up immediately and went to meet the lecturer, then I said to him, please can I be excused, I need to make use of the toilet, when the lecturer heard this she sighed and said, Dave, you just walked into the class I can't let you leave now, I raised my head and screamed, let me out now, she panicked and angrily sent me back to my chair, I went back to my sit however I knew I wasn't feeling well, then suddenly, I felt this warm touch on my shoulder, I turned to see who it was and I was surprised to see it was my crush, Malia.

I looked into her eyes; they were so blue and beautiful; she smiled and said, are you alright, I nodded slowly. She took her hands off my shoulder, and suddenly, my heart was calm, my fingers were back to normal, I sighed and was about to write, the school bell rang, I packed my books into my bag and went to my locker; I placed my bag into my locker and locked it.

I was on my way to practice for lacrosse with the other guys, but Ken and his friends blocked me. I have always feared Ken because of his vast size and muscular strength; aside from that, he was the favourite of every girl in class; he was the captain of lacrosse and the best player. He held me back and said, where the hell do you think you're going, I stared at him and said calmly, I am going for practice; he smiled and said, I don't think so, he then signaled his friends to hold me down, they began to walk towards me, I stepped back slowly trying to escape, then suddenly they brought me to my knees, Ken began to chuckle, he then took out his fist and threw it on my face, I groaned in pain, my mouth was covered in blood, he gave me another punch on my face, this time, I was getting outraged then he said to me, stay away from my girlfriend, Malia.

He then left with his friends; my eyes had already turned yellow, I couldn't control the anger I felt, I took out my fist and kept punching my locker until it broke, my hands were covered in blood, suddenly it began to heal, I sighed and was relieved, I looked at my hands and was surprised to see it heal so quickly, I kept wondering what was happening to, then I went for practice.

PETER'S POVPeter was at home when he heard footsteps, they were coming fast, he stood up immediately, and his claws were out, then suddenly the footsteps stopped, he walked slowly to the door and was about to open it when the door was suddenly slammed against him, peter hit his back hard on the wall, he stood up slowly still feeling dizzy then he looked up and saw a fully-fledged wolf with long claws like that of an eagle, his eyes were red, it took peter up by the neck and said, where is the boy, when peter heard this he chuckled and said, what boy, I don't know where he is. When the wolf heard this, it stabbed him into the stomach; peter groaned in pain, he began to bleed out black blood from his mouth; the wolf smiled and brought out his claws from peter's stomach. Peter was weak; he stared at the werewolf as it tossed him to the wall. Peter hit his head and became unconscious.
