Maddy's POV

Full moon. My favourite time of the month. The leaves crunched beneath our feet as we ran through the woods, the way we usually travel to school. I had so much energy stored up inside me that we took the long route to school, through every bit of the woods we could think of. We weren't really paying attention to the time; school will probably be starting soon, if it hasn't already. But I was fine where I was. Doing my favourite activity, running, with my favourite person, Rhydian!

It was odd how distant my parents had seemed since he came back, I thought they would have been keeping a close eye on us, considering what happened last time we were in the woods!

In the distance I heard the school bell go, "Perhaps we better get to school, we don't want to be late, again!" I called, I wasn't entirely sure where Rhydian was, but I knew he could hear me. I looked around frantically searching for him. I heard a thud from behind me. I jumped slightly and heard a laugh from behind me.

"You know I don't like it when you do that!" I said elbowing him. This just made him laugh more. I gave in, knowing I would never win this.

"Fine, but we do have to get to school!" I grabbed his hand and started running towards our school.

We walked into Mr Jeffries' class around 15 minutes late. Embarrassed, I looked to the floor, Rhydian just grinned at him before taking his seat next to me.

School went by really slowly, even more so then usual. Eventually the final bell rang, and Rhydian and I were the first out of the door, and heading towards the woods – I didn't even say good bye to Tom or Shan, but I'm sure they will understand now that they know about us.

We sat under our tree, there was still at least 2 hours til moonrise. I sat up and looked up to the tree, where you could still faintly see my blood from when Ceri attacked me.

"What is it?" asked a sweet voice, the voice of my fun-loving boyfriend.

"Nothing... I was just thinking about the last time we were here. A lot has happened since I first saw you, I mean, I transformed for the first time, my friends found out who I really am, you left then came back to me..." I was lost in my thoughts.

"Yeah, oh has your mum or dad said anything to you about that night when Ceri attacked?"

"No, why?" I was slightly, no very confused at what Rhydian said. I still don't remember much from that night, but I tried not to think about it as it only gave me a headache.

Rhydian shrugged, "Well it was just something I heard your mum and dad say, something about us needing to know something..."

"We could just ask them, if we go now we could have enough time before the moon to question them on it."

He nodded in agreement, we ran towards my house, playfully chasing each other, lost in the moment. When we got there I opened the door and walked into the kitchen, where the delicious smell of meat was coming from. My

"Hey mam, hey dad, I was just wondering about something Rhydian heard you say in the forest..."

Mam and dad looked at each other nervously then turned to face me and Rhydian...
