A Wolf's Moon
The day of the full moon had come and Raine Linguston, Lynn Juiist and Alona Mikee had all been outside all day, waiting for night fall…waiting for their time to come…waiting for the full moon.
"Do you think it will ever go away? I mean,the curse?"Alona asked. Raine and Lynn shrugged. All of them had been best friends for years until the curse happened. The curse of a Wolf's Eyes. You see, if you stare into a few certain wolf's eyes, you can become cursed and on a full moon, you turn into a wolf.
Raine was the leader of the small pack. Her wolf was a white wolf with dark blue eyes. Alona's wolf was a brown one with light green eyes. Lynn's wolf was a black one with pinkish eyes. And all of them were known around the whole town. That's why they had moved up into the mountains of Asia, where they could be safe and not killed.
"What time is it?"Lynn asked. Alona looked at her watch and said, "A quarter till nine." Raine stared at the half sinken sun and sighed.
"Its almost time then,"she whispered, though loud enough so her friends could hear. Alona closed her eyes and let the breeze flow through her red-brown hair. She opened one of her saffire eyes so she could watch the rest of the sun setting behind the mountains.
"Where are we to go tonight Raine?"Lynn asked as the rest of the sun set behind the snow capped mountains.
"Where ever the wind leads us Lynn…where ever it leads us."Raine answered. The moon had just risen and Raine could feel her teeth growing.
"Its time."she said simply. Alona and Lynn gulped as their bodies took form of their wolves.
The transformance had stopped and Raine looked at her transformed friends. "Lets go.We have untill sun rise.To the west."Raine growled at the others. Lynn and Alona exchanged glances before following Raine into the depths of the winter night.
Chapter one
Raine, Lynn and Alona ran into the woods. They didn't dare stop. A hord of bandits were chasing them out of the town they tried to steal food from. They all had a bruised leg and Alona had gotten a cut on her face. They stopped as soon as they reached the dead middle of the forest.
"Alona, are you hurt badly?"Lynn barked with concern. She and Raine ran over to her and began to tend to Alona's wound. Alona panted heavily and nodded.
"Yes, I am alright Lynn. No worries."Alona breathed out. She was exhausted and she knew that her friends were too. Raine's ears pricked and she shot her head up. Someone is approaching...she thought.
"Lynn, Alona. Someone is coming near. Both of you stay here. I will be back in a moment."Raine growled feircly at them. Lynn and Alona watched their friend scamper deeper into the woods. Raine ran into the woods and hid in a bush. She knew she would have to protect her friends. Then she saw three boys walk out of the dense trees. She smelled the air. Good...atleast they aren't bandits...Raine thought exhaustedly. She was tired of running. One of the boys began to talk.
"You think there are some pretty good animals in this forest Riko?"the red headed one asked. The boy that Raine assumed to be Riko, who had silvery hair, shrugged.
"Who knows. What do you think Misune?"Riko said. Misune, a boy with black hair, shrugged. All boys were nicely built and handsome, but Raine refussed to let those thoughts continue.
"I don't know. But the thing I need right now is a woman. Right Tailon?"Misune said jokingly. Riko and the red head Tailon laughed. Raine growled in the bushes. All three boys stopped and looked around.
"Did you hear that?"Tailon asked his friends. The other two nodded. Raine mentally kicked herself but her wolf side was taking over fast. Right now she wanted to hurt them and keep them away. One more step and they're mine...Raine thought. She needed to protect her friends. It was her duty as the pack leader to protect the others. And she kept it that way with pride.
"Yeah, it sounded like a growl. What do you think it was Misune?"Riko asked. Misune looked around. Raine saw him take a step. I dare you to take another Misune...I dare you too.Raine thought. She was getting very angry.
"It was a wolf. I can tell."Misune said. He began to hit all the bushes with sticks. Raine's anger went way up and she jumped out of her hiding place. Riko and Tailon jumped back and Misune held up a stick threateningly.
"Get away you filthy thing! Get away before I have to hurt you!!"Misune yelled in a fake couragous tone. Raine smirked inwardly. Poor boys. Their leader is a coward. What fun. No! I am only here to protect my friends!! I must resists all urges. I am ONLY here to protect Lynn and Alona. Thats all.Raine thought. She continued growling and Misune threw the stick at her. Out of no where, Lynn and Alona jumped out from behind her. Raine stared at her friends.
"What are you doing out here?!"Raine barked. Lynn snorted and growled, "We are here to help. What else?" Alona growled in anger.
"We won't let our friend get hurt!"she barked. Raine smiled inwardly and turned back to the pale boys. Raine took a step forward one step. Alona and Lynn began to circle them like they were hunting. Raine stepped forward again and kept getting closer and closer until she was joining in on the circling. The three boys were paling up and Raine heard Misune whisper, "On the count of three, we run. 1..."
Raine took a step closer to Misune, threatening him to say three. "2..." Lynn and Alona could hear them too and got ready to strike. "Keep your heads when we chase them. And no killing. Just servere wounds."Raine growled at them. Lynn and Alona growled a yes in response.
"3!!!"Misune yelled. The three boys took off. Raine, Lynn and Alona took off after them. They caught up with them in no time. Lynn had caught the red head, Alona had gotten the silver head and Raine had got the black hair boy. Alona growled and began biting Riko's shoulder and he cried in pain as she tore through his skin. Lynn began at Tailon's arm and he was scream at every jolt of pain. Raine watched her friends and then looked down at a very scared Misune. He was whimpering and saying a prayer for his life.
Raine snorted and bit the side of his stomach. He arched his back and yelled in the immense pain that shot through his body. Raine bit harder and tore off his skin. Blood spilled from his stomach and Raine began to lick at his side, tasting the blood. Lynn and Alona were cleaning the bloody mess too then began to biting again. They continued to bite and slowly kill them for ten minutes. Raine looked up and saw two villagers coming towards them. Her ears shot forward. The two of them came running over to the boys.
Raine looked at Lynn and Alona and growled, "Come on!" The three wolves ran from the scene and into the mountains. They knew that they would recieve grave consequences for this. But right now, they needed to leave the scene and recieve them later. The three ran to the cave and sat down and licked their bloody lips. Raine sighed as she watched the rising sun. The three of them turned back into their regular selves within the minutes. Lynn began to tend Alona's face while Raine went to go stand outside and watched the land. Their land. Her land.
Raine and her friends' past was cursed. Before becoming cursed with the Wolf's Eyes, Raine had an awful life. Her father had deserted her family and he mother had died from smoking and drinking. She had lost her little brother afterwards. He had gotten into a car crash with his friend's mom. She had lost everything until she had been cursed. Then she would just have to learn to live. She still looked for her father.
Lynn had her mother and brother before she was cursed. Her father died when she was just three and her brother died a few years after that. Then her mother had died from being burned in a fire. Lynn had witnessed the whole thing. She was in the fire and she was rescued from her stupid mother's actions. Sure, she had saved Lynn's life, but she had risked her own. Lynn would still hear the screams from the burning building in her dreams as her mother burned. Then she was cursed after running away.
Alona had an abussive father who had beat her mother and sister to death one day when she was at school. When she came home, she found their dead and bloody bodies on the living room floor and her father was standing there with a knife and blood on his hands. She had ran out and her father had sliced her in the back. Then she found their sword collection and cut through his chest and stabbed him many times before running out with the sword. She had kept the sword with her. As Lynn had kept her mother's diamond ring that was passed down to her with a sword and Raine had kept her father's guitar necklace and his sword. The three of them had found eachother and they were best friends ever since. Now when they turned into wolves, Raine had a guitar chain shape around her neck, Alona had a sword outline on her waist that went down to her leg and Lynn had a ring shape on her ring finger on her right hand.
Raine sighed and watched the sun. It was now mid-afternoon. Lynn and Alona came out with fish in their hands. Lynn handed one to Raine, which she gratefully took. Alona and Lynn joined in sun watching as they ate quietly. There was a russel in the bushes and they dropped their food and grabbed their weapons. Alona took out her long sword that still had her father's blood on it, Lynn took out her sword also, which had her mother's name engraved on it, and Raine took out her sword with her father's initials on it. They got into a fighting stance and waited. Raine stepped forward.
"Show yourself."she said to the trees. Alona stepped forward. "We know you're there! Now come out!"she shouted. Raine, Lynn and Alona waited. Then a man stepped out. He looked at the girls and walked over to them. Lynn held the edge of her sword to his throat. "State your buissiness."Lynn sneered. The man pushed the sword away, but then all of the sword points came to his throat. "We are not afraid to strike."Alona stated, pushing her's into his throat, but not hard enough to draw blood.
"Well? What do you come to us for?"Raine asked. She was getting annoyed with this man. He suddenly stepped back and shot gas in their faces. All three of them began coughing and soon passed out. The man smirked as the white haired one fell to the ground. "Mission complete. I have captured the wolf girls."he said into the walky-talky. He picked up the girls and carried them back to the village. The same village where those boys were when they attacked.
