The Second Lupin

Chapter 1 - A visit from Greyback

This is my story and my name is Rose Amelia May II.

A few days ago…

It was a beautiful clear night in the small seaside town of Fleetwood. That was a rare occurrence as it almost always rains. As the full moon started to show itself on the horizon I was called inside by my parents, Rose and John May.

They say I'm incredibly smart for a three year old but I don't think I am. Sure, I know a lot of long words from all the reading I do, but I'm a sporty person. I spend most of my time running around the large, luscious gardens of my family's manor.

Most of my family are scared of me now. I don't know why, I didn't do anything that I know of that could have scared them. Or I don't think I did...

Unless they're scared of me because of what happened last week. I was playing hide and seek in one of the many gardens with my cousin, Carrie when I saw a little kitten. It was lying underneath a fallen tree but it was still breathing.

I've always loved kittens and I hate it when they're injured so I tried to help it. I couldn't move the tree or the kitten.

A few minutes later when Carrie appeared with my parents the tree started floating. It shocked me so much I jumped back in surprise. In my surprise the tree had started falling again.

I didn't notice until the tree was just a few millimetres away from the kitten. I was scared and then the tree started floating again until the Kitten jumped into my arms. The tree then floated gently back down to the earth. I couldn't explain what happened but it was clear that I was the one that had moved the tree.

Ever since that moment my family had been terrified of me. They won't talk to me unless it's completely necessary.

As I walked back to my home I noticed that a dark shadow had fallen over me.

This didn't seem right as the moon had not yet fully risen.

All of a sudden I heard my mother scream. My father had paled considerably to. As my mother lifted her arm and pointed towards something just behind me I was overwhelmed with a feeling of dread.

I looked over my shoulder to see a big scary looking creature hovering over me.

A werewolf... Greyback.

I screamed and started running as fast as my short legs would carry me. This is quite fast as I loved sports.

However, it did not matter as a few moments later I stumbled and fell over head first, hitting my head on a rock and passing out as I went.


Present Day…

The next thing I know there is a sharp, burning pain in my shoulder and I am lying in a warm, comfy bed.

As I open my eyes I see nothing but blurry figures hovering above me.

A few seconds later I regain my focus and see that the blurry figures hovering above me are my parents and my cousin.

They are all deathly pale.

All of a sudden my mother screams,"You are a freak! You've just been bitten by a monster and now you are a FREAK!"

My father then said, "Rose, she's not a freak, she's just not normal."

"Exactly! She's a freak John!"

"My little cousin is not a FREAK! She's just different. She's unique!" Carrie said, tears shining in her eyes at seeing my parents argue.

Carrie never likes to see anyone arguing. Her parents died shortly after an argument and Carrie has lived with us ever since.

I was also close to tears. My parents had never called me a freak or shouted at me before.

My mother scowled before running from the room. My father followed shortly after casting a sorrow filled glance at me.

Carrie hugged me before running after my parents.

The room I'm in is empty with just a bed and a wardrobe.

Deciding that there is nothing else to do I stare at the ceiling before slowly drifting off to sleep…

A/N: Chapter 1. I have been thinking of writing this for a while now and have quite a few of the next chapters planned out.
