Maddy POV:
The night started out like any full moon night, mom and dad reminding me that I had to stay inside the house with the doors locked and to be in bed before 10 o'clock because tomorrow I have school. You know the kind of things that most parents would tell their kids if they were going out on a date and wouldn't be back until later. But my parents weren't leaving the house they were actually going to lock themselves up in the cellar for the night for our protection. Maybe I should remind you that tonight there was going to be a full moon, a symbol that has been used in literature as something that awakens the creatures of the night. But here is the thing we maybe what most would consider as the horrible creatures of the night, but we are not the monsters that you fear that are born of a curse. We are something that occurred naturally whether it have been by evolution or God's creation, which ever line of belief you follow. But to the world we are still considered monsters because most humans haven't been able to shake that feeling of superstition that has plagued them since the beginning of their existence. Most believe that we are something to be destroyed because we are nothing but an unholy evil breed out of an abomination. Then there are others who would use us for their own selfish gain, believing that we could bring them down the path of glory. To protect ourselves we must hide, never allowing those around us to know our true nature, even if they are our best friends. Which brings me back to my parents. They lock themselves up in the cellar each full moon to prevent themselves from getting loose and running amuck outside, especially considering the fact that wolves haven't been in this area in centuries and farmers wouldn't take very kindly to two wolves running around their livestock. You may wonder why I'm not down in the cellar with them but you see it's kind of a coming of age sort of thing, and I haven't started transforming yet…
My parents had told me to go to bed early but I didn't listen instead I stayed up late watching movies and eating junk food.
As I reach for some popcorn I hear a rattling from outside, I decide to turn off the TV so that I can listen a little better. I hear the noise again and I'm suddenly alert. Either my parents have broken out of the cellar or something else is out there, neither are very good options. So I get off the couch and slip on my only pair of tennis shoes and go outside, where I hear howling. This is not good. I hear some clunking noises so I head around the house. Before I reach where I am heading I freeze by a fence before jumping into the only exit from the fenced in area. I take a defensive stance and see a large wolf chowing down on some rancid chicken form the garbage and another wolf attempting to jump out of the open cellar doors. These of course are my parents. My Dad eating the chicken and my Mom trying to get out to join him in the feast. This of course is aggravating considering the fact that they are the ones that are always telling me that we need to stay hidden. My dad notices me and growls and I realize that there is only one thing that I can do. So I yell out "Get back inside!". This stuns the wolf that I'm not going to back down. Keeping eye contact with my father I move closer to him and anticipate every move he makes and block him from going around me, until I have him right at the opening of the cellar. My eyes then flash from their normal brown to the golden yellow of a wolfblood, my father growls at me and I growl back. Even though I haven't began transforming yet, I am destined to someday be leader of a pack and my father can't disobey my command, and so he backs down giving me the chance to back him into the cellar. When he is finally in I walk over and look down in the cellar momentarily meeting my father's eyes before he went further into the den, then suddenly my mother jumps up so I remove my shoe and pop her on the nose. She loses her balance and ends up falling back into the cellar along with my shoe which I lost my grip on. I quickly close the cellar doors and place a stick in the handles in an effort to keep the doors closed. Once they are locked safely back into the cellar I back away and look at the moon and shake my head thinking how could it cause my parents to behave so careless? Another howl sounds throughout the night air and I head back inside and get ready for bed.
