I: The Beast Within Me.
I am a monster.
Oh, you might not think so when you first meet me, I suppose, but spend some time with me and you'll see. This calm, brave, maybe even caring, man that you see before you is just a shell. Please, don't let it fool you. It only hides the creature I hold within. The creature that takes over every month, safe to no one - not even myself.
It would be wise for you to just stay away, I think. You don't want to get mixed up with the likes of me. The other people around me, well, they tell me that I am still human, that I am their friend, and a valuable member of the Order. They're lying - only I know the truth. Only I can feel the wolf itching beneath my skin as the moon waxes, can feel him pacing, growling, wanting to hunt. And the pain as he comes out, as my hands - these human hands! - change, grow claws, and my face lengthens, and my spine becomes huge, ripping my clothes, and...
Yes. It would be wise for you to just stay away.
