WOLF MOON!

Endangered

Luna stepped forward and placed a soft, furry paw on Sarah's shoulder. "Sarah, we know you're not yourself right now. Something is controlling you, and we're going to help you get through this. We're your friends, and we're not going to give up on you."

Sarah looked up at Luna, her eyes filled with confusion and fear. "I don't know what's happening to me. I feel like I'm being taken over by something dark and evil.

As Luna continued to try to soothe Sarah, Sarah lashed out. In a sudden, frenzied moment, she swiped at Luna with her claws, catching her across the nose. Luna yelped in pain, and Orion's eyes flashed with rage. He growled, baring his sharp teeth.

"How could you do that?" he snarled at Sarah. "Luna was only trying to help you."

Sarah cowered away from Orion, cowering on the ground. "I didn't mean to," she whimpered. "I don't know what's happening to me.

Orion stood over Sarah, his body tense with anger. But as he looked at her, he saw the fear and confusion in her eyes. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"We need to help her," he said to Luna, his voice still tinged with anger. "She's not herself right now. We need to figure out what's happening to her, and how to fix it."

Luna nodded, her tail still tucked between her legs. "You're right.

Sarah had regained control of herself, but she couldn't get over the feeling of fear that she had experienced when she saw Orion's anger. He had looked like he was ready to attack her, and the memory of that moment left her shaken. She couldn't shake the feeling that she had lost Orion's trust, and that he might never see her the same way again.

"I'm sorry," she whispered, looking at Orion with tear-filled eyes. "I didn't mean to hurt you, or to make you angry. I just...

Orion's features began to shift, and his fur slowly disappeared as he changed back into his human form. He picked up Luna in his arms and carried her to a nearby stream, gently cleaning her wounds. He noticed that her normally bright and expressive eyes were dull and listless.

"I'm going to take care of Luna," he said to Sarah, his tone still stern. "You need to stay here and try to figure out what's happening to you. I want to help you, but I need you to work with me.
