Hi guys, Jains here. This is my very first PROPER fanfiction which I published so I'm pretty sure it sucks. Please don't judge my horrible creativity, thanks. So without any further adieu let's go straight into the story!

Lukas's eyes met the bright morning light as he slowly lifted his eyelids. He shuffled to his alarm clock. 7:43am. He was probably late for school, as usual. He swirled his wrist in an anti-clockwise direction as he saw the time on the clock turn back. The sunlight slowly dimmed as he turned back time. His magic really came in handy during these days.

He trudged to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for he and Emil, his younger brother. His parents divorced when he was just a year old. His father remarried a human a year after that, and Emil was born. Therefore, Emil was a half-mage while Lukas was a full-mage, since his parents were both mages. Once Emil's mother had found out about their father's magic, they divorced and the brothers were abandoned by both of their parents.

"Hey, Emil," Lukas greeted as he saw his brother enter the dining room. "Did you do the time thingy again?" Emil asked with a yawn. Lukas nodded. He thought that Emil was cute as always, even when he was already thirteen years old. "Why can't you just wake up at a specific time like regular people do?" Emil asked. "Because it's more comfortable the way I do it," Lukas explained, "now, quickly finish breakfast. The bus is coming soon." He clipped up his left bangs with his silver cross-shaped clip which used to be his mother's.

After breakfast, Emil and Lukas left for school, Lukas not noticing that he was levitating the house keys. Emil pulled the keys away and kept them in his pocket. They boarded the bus and went to the seats at the very back, where there would be space for their friends, Tino, Berwald and Mathias.

"Lukas! Emil!" Tino shouted happily from the bus entrance. He skipped over to the seat at the back with Berwald following closely behind. The two lived together, since their parents were traveling a lot and rarely ever came home.

It was hard for Lukas to live around humans. If just one person suspected that he was not human, he would be cursed. The curse differs from person to person. He never knew what was his father's curse since he never saw him again after the big reveal. He erased Emil's mother's memories of their family before letting her go, since Emil had limited magic. He could not use it, but he could sense it and was no harm towards mages.

"What'cha gonna do with Mathias tonight?" Tino asked joyously. "Not really anything special, just stargazing like all full moons," Lukas answered. He and Mathias had a liking towards astronomy, especially the full moon. On the nights of full moons, they would usually go to a hill and stargaze peacefully.

While sharing stories on the bus, the four felt something odd. They were not heading for the direction they usually headed for. Instead, after a few minutes, they ended up at a cliff. As the bus driver accelerated towards the cliff, Lukas stood up. If the bus driver was going to drive the bus off the cliff, they would be gone for sure, and Mathias has not even arrived yet.

Mustering all the magical energy he could, Lukas created a translucent green shield in front of the bus. The shield made the bus jump back when it hit it, which caused all the passengers and the bus driver to pass out from shock. Lukas smiled. He knew that they would be safe, except for him. He would be cursed and may not be able to stay with his friends or Emil any more. With this thought in mind, he slowly, slowly, closed his eyes.

"Luuukaaaaas…" it rang. The echoing voice which came from everywhere filled Lukas's head. He could not feel or see anything. "Luuuuukaaaaas…get uuuuuup…" the mysterious voice sang. Suddenly, like a flash of lightning, he witnessed a bus accident. The same bus accident where he used his magic in front of everyone.

Lukas breathed heavily as he quickly sat up. "Good, you're awake," Lukas looked up to see none other than Arthur Kirkland, a senior at his school who was also a mage. "What are you doing in my house?!" Lukas asked. Arthur smirked. "Why don't you think you've not changed after the bus crash?" He asked in reply. Lukas blushed and looked down.

"You caused so much trouble for everyone," Arthur said, "I had to reset everything and remove every trace of the accident all by myself. And I also had to change you back." Lukas was confused. Change him back? "Wait, what happened to me after the accident?!" Lukas stood up. "Well, obviously, since many humans saw it, you were cursed," Arthur explained, "cursed to be a wolf without a human mind at all."

Lukas stood still, jaw agape. "If Emil didn't get me to help you, you would've been a wild animal for the rest of your life," Arthur said, "Emil didn't pass out easily like the others, so when he saw you, he immediately called me over to fix things." Lukas heaved a sigh of relief. "That means that I'll be fine, right?" He asked.

"Not necessarily," Arthur corrected, "For one, your magic is gone, and I couldn't really get any help while doing all this and my power wasn't enough to fix everything so…" There was a moment of hesitation. "You're sort of a werewolf now," Arthur ended.

Lukas's eyes widened in shock. "That means I'm gonna be like you, but without magic and I'm a wolf?!" Lukas asked. Arthur nodded his head slowly. Arthur's family has been cursed since the last generation, when his father purposely killed his human wife with magic when he found out that she cheated on him. He had a very strong power, and at times he could not control it. He just wanted to beat her up a little. His descendants were then cursed to be werefoxes, half fox on regular nights and foxes on full moons. He, however, was cursed to be a wild fox forever wandering in the woods, with no family and no home.

Lukas looked at Arthur with a blank face. He didn't know if he should be upset that he could not use magic anymore, or happy that he has a friend who could help him in his struggles from then on.

"Lukas?" Emil popped into his room, "You have some visitors," Emil opened the door a little wider to make sure that his brother could see Tino, Berwald and Mathias standing outside. "'Sup, bro?" Mathias smiled as he walked over to Lukas's bed, "Fever gone down yet?" Lukas shot a look at Arthur, who winked at him in response. "Uh…yeah…?" He responded to Mathias, assuming that Arthur told them that he was sick, so he did not come to school.

"He still needs a bit of rest, he just got well about an hour ago," Arthur said. Mathias nodded and stood up. "Hope you come to school tomorrow!" Tino winked as he left the room. Once they had all left the house. Arthur and Emil quickly closed the doors and drew the curtains. "W-what are you doing?!" Lukas asked, confused. "It's the full moon tonight! We can't let anyone see, and it's nearly sunset!" Arthur explained quickly. Lukas was absolutely not prepared at all. It was all so sudden, one minute he was a mage, next thing he knew he was a beast that changed forms at night. Now that he thought about it, he should have been asleep for quite a while.

"The sun's setting!" Emil shouted as he drew the last curtain. At that moment, Lukas felt like he was changing. He knew what was about to happen. As his bones rearranged and bended into one of a wolf and his skin replaced by dark brown fur, Lukas screamed in pain. Those screams slowly turned into howls. Howls of a wolf. After he had fully changed, he did not feel like he wanted to experience his new body. He just laid on the ground, tired and in pain.

"It just hurts the first time, it won't be painful the next full moon," a voice explained. Lukas could not make out any words, just fox sounds, but he could understand exactly what Arthur was saying. Lukas was relieved. This would be the only full moon when he would feel so tired and helpless. Emil came over and bent down to meet Lukas's eyes. "Lukas, you ok?" He asked.

Lukas was still exhausted, but nodded his head slowly. It was not every time that his brother would actually care about anything. Although there was no change in Emil's expression, Lukas knew he was also relieved.
