Chapter 1: newbie

(Pov Luna)

I trudge up the side of this mountain, I have no clue what is going on, I'm so confused, maybe it's because of what happened a few weeks ago… it's sad really and I'm sure your confused, let me explain, I live in Tokyo, or used to, I had an apartment near the center of the city, to be honest I really love the city, and from that sparked a love for parties , oh lord I loved to go to parties with my classmates. Then about 4 weeks ago a word spread of some people in Tokyo being demons and what not, I had seen it one day while just brushing my teeth and I had my TV on, my first impression was to laugh, hahahahahaha! It was Stupid right? Wrong…..in fact I am one, a wolf-demon; I was giving this blessing or curse when I was born. my genes lead back to that of a Japanese decent and Spanish decent, Spanish for my father, Japanese for my mother, well somehow one of our ancestors was a wolf-demon and I just had to get his or hers genes, I don't look that much and I don't have that many abilities, I just turn into a red wolf when I want to, or sometimes when I don't…..in the case of this party, it all started at school... it was about a week after the news cast of 'demons roaming the city!' so everyone was up tight, so let me paint a picture for you….

Luna closes her locker with a groan, the school day was finally over, she leans up against the wall of lockers exhaling sharply, she looks to her right to see her friend walk up to her

"Hey Luna, are you heading to the party tonight?" she asks as she leans up against the wall of lockers with her friend

Luna's blue eyes light up energetically "what? A party! Where?"

She giggles at Luna's reaction "where else? Eric's house!"

Luna sighs happily "oh man and here I thought this week was going to be a bummer! I'll see you there!"

Her friend nods "okay Luna! You always brighten up these parties!" \

Luna Grabs her backpack and rushes out the school doors, Sprinting to her house to get

So you see? This week was gonna suck, but I managed to find out about this party, sometimes I wish I didn't, and other times I'm glad I did….so, I walked up to Eric's house right? It was blaring with music and people were yelling, I knew it was going to be a wild party, and boy how right I was….. I walked in and immediately grabbed a drink of coke, I saw my three friends on the couch including the one from school, I walked over I sat down, we talked for a while, laughed and we looked at some boys judging which one was the hottest, and generally having a good time like any 16 year old girl would do, then I take a sip of my drink, well some A-hole as a joke had spiked it with alcohol when I left it on the kitchen counter, yea…..you see where this is going? Anyways he had spiked it and I drank it, I thought it tasted funny, but thinking was beyond my comprehension right then, I was so drunk you could have told me to jump off a building and I would have done it, most likely survive less you get the point, and after a long night of laughs and fun I decided in my drunk fogged up mind, to transform right in front of everyone to show off, completely forgetting to prevent anyone from seeing me, so my friends and some non-friends just sat their eyes wide at the small red wolf that sat in front of them, said wolf dazed in a drunken slur, then all heck broke loose, people running to their phones, trying to rat me out, It was this time the drunken haze was starting to lift, and I had realized what I had done, I began to think rapidly what to do, at the same time trying to dodge the incoming drink cups and bottles being thrown at me, I saw boys staring and throwing things, my once friends screaming and throwing things as well, a few ran into the kitchen to grab knives, they were going to kill me, I had just ruined my life, I couldn't help it, I began to cry, a lone red wolf in some strange living room, and I was crying, some boy must have taken pity on my and ran over, I cringed thinking he was going to hurt me, but instead he scooped me up and ran out the door, people screaming and yelling at him to put me down, thank god he didn't listen, he ran with me all the way to an alley, he set me down and smiled at me, I don't think he was scared of me at all, I tried to smile back but couldn't, my whole life was most likely ruined from that one mistake, I wanted to cry again, the boy could most likely see my sadness, and chuckled a bit, I was pretty insulted by that, I raised my head questioningly

"Don't worry the police won't believe them, they were all under aged and drinking, you'll be fine, come back in like a month and no one will remember it" with that he stood up and left, like he never even saw me, he turned his head as he left and winked

I almost smiled but where was I to go? I sat all alone in that small alley thinking to myself, I guessed I should just go home, so I did, I walked like a beaten dog, no one passed a glace to me, no one is startled by a stray dog, luckily they didn't take a second glace or they would most likely have seen that I wasn't a stray dog, but a red wolf, but that didn't happen, I finally made it home, my body ached I was going to have bruises from all that bottles that did hit me, once I pull the key from under the mat with my mouth I look around, when I'm sure no one is near, I transform quickly and slip inside my house and shut the door, I sigh and sit there for a while depressed and sad, I muster some strength and walk to the shower maybe a hot shower will sooth my aching muscles, I get in the shower and I swore I heard the mail slot open and close, Once I got out of the shower and covered myself with some towers, I walked over to the door, a lone black envelope sat there, I picked it up and gingerly opened it, it had read

"I am aware that you have recently gone through a 'tough time' at a nearby party, if you wish there is a safe haven for people like 'us' in the mountains, if you wish you may join me and my family at the 3rd mountain from the left of the Tokyo world museum, bring most of you belongings, humans will not open welcome you anymore, you have 4 weeks to join us if not, consider this envelope to be a hallucination"

I stared blankly at the envelope, at first I didn't believe it, but maybe it was true, I was pretty sure that I wasn't the only demon, but what was I to do? In one day my life has gone from happy go lucky party girl to outcast, and hated half-demon. My life here IS most likely ruined, my friends would come looking for me, people would come to get a picture of the first confirmed 'half-demon' and soon police would be knocking on the door taking me to a secret government lab where I'll be experimented on! Or maybe they will forget it….I sat down on my couch…..what should I do? It seemed like hours as I thought, and I finally came to a conclusion, I would work for three weeks to get some money and then I will head out, I don't have to worry about my parents, even though they love me, they have left me alone for months now, maybe I should send them a letter….I walk over to my oak desk, I grab a piece of paper out of the many drawers and begin by dating it…

"June 7, 2008

Mom, dad I'm moving soon, don't worry I'll be fine, love you guys hope you are happy with the new house dad just bought! Well ill call or mail you another letter soon,

Love you,

Luna"

So here I am at Tokyo world museum, three weeks of HARD work and 3,000 dollars earned, my backpack on my back and it filled with clothes and other essentials, luckily I hadn't run into any of my friends while I worked, and no one saw me on the streets that I knew , I look up to the Tokyo world museum and look to its left, the third mountain was large and out at least a few miles, I sigh, it's going to be a long walk…..

-787-

So here we are where we started out, climbing up the side of this huge mountain, some unknown clan hiding in the mountains, and I a 16 year old girl decided to this, I briefly considered that maybe some alcohol was left in my system, but I was sure that it was not possible, I pass trees and trees and more trees, I hear some squirrels and fight the instinct to chase, maybe wearing my yellow blouse with matching white skirt wasn't the brightest idea as sticks and leaves keep sticking to the soft material, I groan and wack another branch out of my way, I look up, I'm almost to the top, what's strange is the top back side of the mountain is almost cut out like, someone wanted to put a village there and to make sure no one saw it, I look to my left and see a lone two story wooden cabin, it was very nice looking, and smoke was pouring out of the chimney, best not to stop and chat, but I wondered who lived there? I walk further up the side of the mountain, almost reaching the top of the 'plateau' like area, curiously I stumble upon a stone walkway leading all the way up to the mountain, I kneel down and touch the hard materials surface, it was sure being used, the surface was smooth as a pebble, I followed it up to the top and when I reached it, I nearly fainted, a whole village was bustling with activity, but not with humans…it was inhabited with people with wolf ears and tails! Some wolves walked among them , a few normal humans, or what appeared to be humans, I swallowed trying to take in the sight, I haven't been noticed yet, I take my first step on the village grounds, I look down the long expanse of houses, then I see two wolves seemingly come out of nowhere, they are right next to me by the time I take in a sharp breath, one was a large grey and black wolf, the species seemed to be a German wolf, and the other was not a small as me but near that size and was a red wolf like me but had lighter almost white patches on its body, they both eyed me warily, I grinned sheepishly trying not to seem threatening, the larger wolf narrowed its striking golden eyes, trying to scan me, and then, what look liked, smiled, he gestured to follow him with his head, I slowly followed after him, the red wolf was right beside him, I looked at all the people that lived here, what's more is that they have multiple dialects, I could hear one man speaking Spanish, another speaking German, and another speaking Russian, oddly there was not any Japanese speaking going on, I look ahead to the two wolves, they led me to a larger wooden building, the larger wolf pushed the door open and gave a 'come on' look, I stepped in with him the red wolf not far behind, before my eyes they transformed, the larger wolf into a young man about 20 or 23 give or take, he stood an imposing 6'2 and was in extremely good physical condition, he wore Black boots and Jeans, his shirt was plain white but his jacket was a dull green, his hat was of the Russian kind with grey fur. However, the red wolf turned into a teenaged girl about 17 or 18 and was on the shorter side of 5'2, about my height, and was in good physical condition as well but maintained the well-developed womanly frame she had, she wore a half-length shirt and a native skirt, nothing too flashy, the young woman or teenager step forward first

"I take it you got the letter? Well then welcome to the night's bane, you must be Luna?" she asked

"Y-yes" I squeaked, she laughed

"oh don't worry your among friends, we are lucky we found you, most demons don't last long after being revealed, I'm just happy one of my wolves on grocery duty spotted the commotion at that party of yours" she said

I laughed a bit weakly, pressing my fingers together, an unfortunate habit of mine when I get nervous

"Well I trust you have many questions right?" she said to me

I nodded

"Well go ahead I'm all ears" she said flicking one of her wolf ears atop her head

"S-so what are you guys?" I asked, now that I think about it, it sounded kind of rude

She smiled "demons in a sense, but passive demons, and you can't really call us wolf demons ether," she said

"Why not?" I asked

"Well we have many different abilities, the endurance and strength of the wolves, the speed and agility of the jackal (I know jackals are not THAT fast but I would have used foxed twice if I chose them) and the intelligence, senses and climbing of the fox, and a few other assorted abilities"

I was impressed "cool" I said simply, but in truth I was getting a bit antsy, sometimes I swear I have Adhd, it's a family thing, I get it from my mother

"Well it has its perks" she giggled, I like this girl she seemed…..warm and nice….. It's an odd feeling to describe, but regardless I continued to question her

"So who is the leader around here?" I asked

The young man stepped forward "I am, Jack, I'm the alpha wolf and she is the alpha female"

I was a bit surprised, I thought leaders were older

"No offense but I thought leaders were older than you" I asked, I seem to have hit a nerve because both looked down and cringed

"Oh I'm sorry" I quickly shot out to try and stop their misery

They both sighed "it's fine, we tell you the story later, in the meantime let's get you settled" the female told me

"So…one last question, who are you?" I said to her

She smiled and said

"Miyako"

"Oh and one more thing Luna…." She said

I turn "yes?"

She narrows her eyes "don't tell any human about this place….."
