What is to become of me?
CRACK! Remus Lupin howled in pain. He yelled out his fury as his legs started to extend and grow hair. This was the moments he dreaded the most. It was a painfull process.
Why me?
There was another odd fizzing noise as his jaw started to extend and his tongue filled his mouth. He couldn't breath, the pain was enough to make him pass out.
But he didn't.
He wished he did.
Is this a punishment? Did I do something to deserve this? A the bad things that had ever happened in his life, all the memories that made his heart clench, ran through his head.
Yes, it was a punishment sent from the moon, but did he deserve it? He didn't know.
He felt a sharp pain in his lower back as his tail started to extend and lengthen. He let out another howl of pain.
He thought of Mercy as his snout started to form. He let out great gasping breaths, his vision started turning a dull gray color.
Mercy. Sweet, gentle, kind, forgiving Mercy.
What would she think if she saw him like this? If she knew? Would she still love him?
His ears lengthened, and his teeth sharpened. He tried to gain control over his body, but he couldn't. He tried to make it stop, but the full moon was directly above him, and there was no stopping the change once it had begun.
He could almost feel her soft hands on his face, calming him. She knew he was sick, she never talked about it, never indicated that she did, but she knew.
But did she know it was this?
As his body began to settle, his heart began to stir.
He didn't deserve her.
He let out a long howl of pain as the transformation was complete, the last thing he saw was the full moon above him, and then everything went black.
