Today was the day of the full moon and whilst I was risking my life I knew it was worth it.

"Call him again." I say to Tyler as we sit in his father's office. We were re-watching the video of Mason's transformation while he's preparing everything for the full moon. He takes his phone and calls Mason, but gets no answer. He shakes his head at me. He leaves a message.

"Mason, it's Tyler again. Look, your cell's voice mail is full. I need to talk to you. It's a full moon tomorrow and...I found your recording and I'm freaking out over here. So, just call me back, please." Tyler pleads into the phone.

"Still no answer?" He shakes his head. "Guess its just you and me."

"No."

"No?"

"I dot want you to be there. I could kill you."

"But you wont."

"You're not coming."

"Classic Aquarius." I hummed loudly.

Tyler raises his eyebrows at me. "Is that your answer to everything."

"Simply stating that you been stubborn is natural. It written in the stars."

"Or moon?" I laugh at him while wrapping my arms around his neck.

While these last few weeks had been a lost for him to adjust to, our relationship had grown. I spent every moment with him, sleeping and waking with him an I loved it. We weren't dating and we hadn't kissed but I felt a lot happier with him and he wasn't seeing any other girls so I thought that was a good sign.

"Come on, lets get food." I pull at his hand and drag him t the door.

"Heading out?" Carol asks as were about to leave.

"Yeah...lunch at the Grill, I've got practice and I'll probably go out after. I'll be late."

Someone knocks on the door. Tyler opens it. It's the woman who was in Mason's apartment. "Hi."

Tyler stares blankly at her for a moment. "Hi."

The woman brushes a strand of hair behind her ear. "Sorry. Rude. You have no idea who I am. I'm Jules, a friend of Mason's from Florida. You must be Tyler."

"Yeah. Nice to meet you." He holds his hand out. "This is my friend, Leyla, and my mom Carol." He gestured to us and we both smiled politely at the woman who stood awkwardly in the doorway.

Jules shakes it before looking down. "So, I know it's weird for me to just stop by but I'm trying to track down Mason."

"Mason's back in Florida. He has been for a while now." Carol responds.

"See...that's the thing...he's not." Jules says before looking between Tyler and I.

I park my car on the edge of the woods, as close to the cave as I can. Tyler gets out and opens the trunk to get his stuff.

"Maybe he just stopped to go surf somewhere. You know Mason." I say.

"Maybe. This girl just seemed to think he would have called."

"I'm sure he's okay." It was hard to say, I didn't believe me but I knew he had more n his mind right now.

"Yeah, anyway...let's do this." he holds his hand out to me and leads me to the cave.

The amount of times I had imagined this, but under a different scenario.

Tyler is preparing the chains as soon as we step into the cave. He was nervous.

"Tell me you brought the instruction manual." Whilst holding back a smile at the complicated chains in his hands.

"Tell me you brought the wolfsbane." I nodded and gave him the wolfsbane. When he touches it, his skin burns, and he yelps and draws in his breath. "I have a water bottle in my bag, we can mix it in there." I take it off of him and mix the wolfsbane in the water. "The guy at the hardware store said this set-up could hold up to 5,000 pounds."

"Is that more than a werewolf can pull?" I ask.

"Is that more than a vamp can pull?" He retorts.

"Fair enough."

He takes off his shirt and turns away. Very racy thoughts begin to runt though my mind.

"Take a picture."

"Hmm?" I paused. "Maybe I will." Causing him to chuckle and me to blush.

A bright full moon can be seen in the sky. Tyler is shirtless, and he has chains wrapped around each wrist and ankle, as well as a chain looped around his neck, all attached to the walls of the underground cave.

"What time is it?" Tyler gasps.

"Almost eight. What time does the moon crest or whatever?" I ask.

Tyler gasps as pain rushes through him. "Not for a while. Mason's journal said the first transformation can happen before the moon hits its apex."

"Does it say how long you'll actually Wolf out?"

Tyler shrugs. "A few hours. Maybe more, maybe less." He tries to sit down next to me but he can't because of the chains. He takes the bottle with the wolfsbane. "Mason said it'll diminish my strength so I can't break free." He starts to drink. He drinks a few swallows, but he begins to choke and then starts to gag, vomiting on the ground. He falls to his knees as he coughs. I get closer to him and touches his back.

Tyler is in writhing in pain. He tries to removes the chain, but I was there, trying to comfort him. "I'm burning up. It burns!"

"I know. Just breathe through this, okay?"

Tyler shakes. "I'm trying. You should go. You should leave." I shake my head in response. He screams. His bones are breaking. He cries. "It hurts. It hurts." Tyler is on the floor. I was next to him.

I kiss his shoulder. "I want to help but I don't know what to do."

"There's nothing you can do." He gets up. His bones and his spine are breaking. He screams again. "Get out!" Tyler's limbs spasm, and more bones break. He screams in pain and I continue trying to soothe him. "Leave!"

"No Aquarius."

Suddenly he screams. His bones continue breaking. His eyes are yellow and his fangs are out. He gets up and looks everywhere around him. I get up and close the gate. Tyler rushes over, removing one of his chains. Tears pour down my face. I knows the door won't hold so I prop a wooden plank against it and vamp-runs into the woods, still crying.

When I go back the next morning. Tyler is lying in the centre, naked and broken. "Tyler?"

"Leyla?"

"Tyler." I rush over to him and put a jacket over his shoulders. "You're okay. You made it. You didn't get out. You're okay."

He's crying. "No, I'm not."

I embraces him. "You are now." I kiss his lips softly. "You're alright Aquarius."
