Chapter 2, find yourself

Me and Cameron went into the park and saw a group of kids from school. They were to be honest the cool people and we were just the at schools people. Cameron walked past them and lit up a medium sized firework. The wick burned down and it was silent for a moment. Then it started spewing bright blur sparks and shot bright balls of light into the sky. They all looked over at him

"hey where can I get some of those ummm?-"

"Cameron, and I got them from china. But I can sell you guys some!" he said smiling. This was his plan all along.

"ok how much?" he said pulling out his wallet.

"5 for small 10 for big." He said. He handed him about $40. "ok than we'll be right back!" he said walking away, I followed.

"this was your plan all along wasn't it?" I said sniling.

"well not exactly, but things happen." He said shrugging his shoulder.

We gathered $40 dollars' worth and took it back to them. Then more and more of them bought fireworks till we were all out and had about $160. As they blew them up I noticed someone odd. Looking around a tree behind the people with fireworks I saw the girl from before… Luna! She turned and walked the other way. I looked at the people with firworks and snuck past them.

"Luna?" I said once I got near the tree. There was no one there anymore. I looked around and saw the tail of her jacket go around another tree. I followed as fast as I could, and she eventually lead me to a clearing with a small lake in it. There she was standing in front of the lake looking out at the water.

"Luna…" she looked back at me with a sad look.

"You followed… I wish you hadn't… I don't wanna do this." She said not looking me in the eyes.

"What are you talking about?" I said stepping forward.

"When I first met you earlier I didn't think you were the one… you were just so nice you couldn't be one of them." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a key. In a split second out of no where a dark figure swept past her and snatched the key. We both whipped our heads into the direction the blur went. There kneeling was the culprit, they wore a large cloak that covered them in a shade of darkness.

"I finally found you… Witch!" he rose and turned around. His eyes glowed with an evil deep red. Luna took a fighting stance and prepared to fight.

"I've got no time for your games. Leave and nobody gets hurt." She said with an angry tone.

"I kill you and your little pet before you even have a chance to scream." He flew forward and tried to hit her. She dogded and swiped at him, a large cut appeared on his shoulder. He rolled back and snarled at her she gave a smile and took up her stance again.

"why am I even toying with you. Your scum… I'll just finish you now!" he threw back his head and roared and threw off his cloak. Then… his body started changing. His muscles grew and stretched his shirt till it ripped, his skin grew thick fur all over his body. The bones in his legs shifted and changed to look more canid. His mouth extended into a small snout and his teeth got sharper. His ears grew into floppy animal ears and with them grew a set of curved horns grow from the sides of his head. He had the body of a monstrous wolf like beast and the head of a goat. He popped his neck and smiled at us.

"I can't wait to taste your flesh witch!" he snarled bounding forward. I ran as fast as possible and pushed her out of the way. He slammed into me like a truckload of bricks. I could feel him ripping into me like a hot knife through butter. I screamed in pain and kicked him, but it was no use he was so much stronger than me. I laid there on the ground losing consciousness… I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, couldn't see… but I could sleep. I closed my eyes… and fell into darkness.

I was floating above a dark pool of water, there was mist rising just above it whipping at my feet. It was a serene place, a quiet place.

"An empty space." A deep rough voice said. I looked around and saw the source. It was an odd creature. It had the head of a wolf and a body covered with fur, and a medium length tail. It was slightly curled up into a ball with its hand on its chin. It looked up at me, it's eyes glowed a deep red.

"Why am I here? What is this place?" I said turning toward him.

"Such a youngling… not even knowing what this is, I'm surprised. Your father would be ashamed." He said not taking his eyes off me.

"How do you know my dad?"

"I know the names of all my children, you're no exception." He said stretching out his body to show his full height. "You know what you are right?" he said looking intently at me.

"What do you mean? I'm just some guy."

"Oh you are much more than that… you are not a human… your are one of us, a creature of the night, a beast… a monster." He said smiling.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said confused and angry.

"of course you don't… you are a young fool that will never understand the true power within yourself… in order to do that first you must find yourself… when you awake you shall no longer be what you were… you will be an Ecolad… a beast." He turned away and curled back into a ball. A bright light came down from the sky and blinded me.

I sprung to life on a stretcher, light blinding me once again. My whole body was on fire.

"He's awake!" someone yelled as I was pushed down the hallway.

"We need to stop the bleeding! Get me some gauze NOW!" a man roared. What bleeding? I lifted my hands and saw they were covered in blood.

"what happened to me? Where am i!" I shouted in fear. I tried to get up but was pinned down by a man.

"Don't move (or I'll hurt you)" he said… or thought?

"We need to get him to the emergency room! (I can't watch another child die!)" a women said. Whats going on? Someone brought down a device over my mouth, I tried to pull away and he pushed me down and put it over my mouth. I thrashed about trying to get him to get off of me, but it was no use! I was getting angry with them.

"Get away from me!" I yelled tossing the two men off of me." I stood wobbly next to the stretcher, blood dripping off of me. Everyone in the room stared as I looked around.

"L-Luna… where's Luna?" I said distraught.

"who's luna? What is he talking about? How did he stand? Why is he acting like this?"

"Where is she?" I said falling back, I fell into someones arms . I looked up and it was my dad.

"Dad…" I said confused.

"Sit down and let them help you, you big idiot." He said lifting me up onto the stretcher again. He turned toward the doctors standing around the room. "Well get moving!" he said angrily. Then rushed forward and carted me off down the hall. I looked back at my dad as I went through a door… theres something different about him?
