The Red Moon
Prologue
It traveled through the dark forest with such stealth that the only way one would be able to see It would be if It stood right in front of them. It was a Red moon tonight as it would be for the rest of the month and that gave It strength, but It knew that It was dying and it was the last of It's kind. It was a Original, one of the first of It's species created. These Pink beings had killed them out many generations ago, as well as illness and natural causes, and It had gone into hiding until now. It had woken some nights ago because It tissue was deteriorate and it was dying. So It had awoken to create more of it's species from the Pink's. All have died before the transformation could even begin to start. The ones that It had chosen were to weak, It thought bitterly. It had to find a strong host before the Red moon died away, or the transformation would never take. And It was running out of time, fast.
It was genderless, so the only way to reproduce was to infect a Pink with It's DNA. From there they would begin there transformation that would take, well it depended on the host - gender, age all of that didn't really matter to It, as long as the transformation completed. They had to be infected before the Red moon was over or it would simply be as if the host were poisoned. And It would miss It's chance to repopulate because the Red moon only comes around every two hundred years. So this would be It's last chance before It died and it was going to leave some children behind.
It did have an idea as to which Pink's to target. There was this one that seemed to blend in with the back ground and if it weren't for It's keen eye sight it would have gone unnoticed. The outside line of this Pink seemed to shimmer and blend in the background with it's gray and green camouflage. It had infected that one with some fight, but it was worth it because that Blending Pink survived into the transformation longer then any of the others. It now knew that It had to find more of this Blending Pink's if It wanted it's race to survive.
note: Can you guess what It is? If not, It's going to be revealed soon enough in the next chapter or so. And, OH, who was the Pink (human) that blended in with the back ground? Please review!
