CHAPTER 5

I was waiting as the beast charged me, I slammed it to the ground with my bo staff and saw it go dwn hard, Blumiere mouthed soemthing but I couldn't understand and I knew why, this was a dream and it felt like one of the dreams that would come true in real life, I've had them before but I don't speak much of it. The beast got back up and I continued to fight it off until it finally went down, I went to charge Lyntia but I something grabbed me, I fell and looked back, it was the werewolf. It just looked at me with those yellow eyes and I felt my world begin to shift, someone was trying to wake me up, with a sigh a let myself be pulled away from the telling dream or nightmare.

"Ermora, time to get up" I heard Timpani say, I grunted as I came to from sleeping, I sat up and stretched. Today was the day of the blood moon and the fmaily worked hard to devise a plan and then we all went to bed late last night or early this morning and are getting up late.

"Alright, I'll start getting the meat hung up" I grumbled, Timpani shook her head.

"O'Chunks has already done it, just get changed for now and get something to munch on, we will need the energy for tonight" Timpani said, I nodded and put on a t-shirt and jeans today and left the cloak to the side, no use having it on as it may slow me down. I grabbed my bo staff and headed to the kitchen, everyone was there and I placed my bo staff besides my dads staff that has quite the blade on the end.

"Tis night will be one to remember ey?" O'Chunks noted trying to strike up a conversation in the dead silent room.

"That it will be, werewolves weren't real and now we are fighting one, I'm nervous" I replied, there were mumbled agreements from everyone, no one has had any encounters with werewolves so we were going off the books knowledge and any other knowledge we may have from movies, it wasn't the best but its all we have.

"I'd rather not remember what tonight brings depending on the outcome of it" Dimentio muttered under his breath.

"Yeah umm I agree with that" Nastasia said, we sat in silence again while keeping and eye on the time.

"Want me to be Count Bleck to see if I can scare it away?" Blumiere asked with a light tone, dad nearly choked on his food and I chuckled and then stopped when water almost came out of my nose.

"'Ey Count it might be goin' after ya faster if your Bleck for any time, besides me 'an the other's would rather you be Blumiere" O'Chunks replied back.

"Yes, please refrain from being Bleck son" dad agreed with O'Chunks, I stopped choking to finally nod my agreement.

"Alright, should we get going to our spots?" Mimi asked eagerly, I looked back at the time.

"If you'd like to go to your spot you can but it's not quite time yet" I stated, I could only think about my short dream, please don't let that actually happen.

"Actually Mimi is right, the blood moon will be out shortly, it appears quicker then on other nights" mom said, I sighed, took my bo staff and left to my spot. There was a window by my spot and I looked outside for a time, mom was right as the moon came out faster tonight then other nights. Also this was my first blood moon so I was entranced by its beauty, I didn't expect it to look so beautiful, I watched the moon until the sky got even darker and I heard a howl. I readied my bo staff, alright I heard it outside but there's no telling when it'll get in especially since we have raw meat hanging up in here around the castle. I jumped as I heard a bang on the door and I felt the mind link the tribe member's have open up, my head throbbed slightly from it.

"It's going to beat down the door soon get ready" I heard dad's voice ring in my head and then the throbbin stopped as the mind link was cut off, sure enough the loud noise of the dors being slammed open was heard along with a fearsome howl. I readied my staff as I heard the beast scrambling on the floor. I heard it yelp though and I can only assume that dad tore into it with his staff already. I heard the beast howl again and heard it heading in my direction, I froze as I heard it coming, I was nervous, the beast suddenly roared and jumped. I nearly got tackled to the ground because of my fear freezing me in place, I was face to face with the monster and it growled at me, I shakily held my bo staff in an offensive position. It's ears perked up though as it sniffed the air, it went towards the source of the smell and I headed back to the main area, making sure it didn't follow me. I got to the main area and met up with my dad, his staff blade indeed have blood on it.

"Are you alright Ermora?" he asked rather concerned, I nodded.

"I just froze up, I could only think of my..." I stopped there, no one knew I could see the future in my dreams or nightmares sometimes, I never explained the dream I just had either.

"It's okay, your here with us now, besides the beast should be worn out by the time it gets back here" he whispered abck, I nodded and we waited in the shadows as the others slowly appeared, Blumiere was the last one to finally come back. We all waited as we heard the werewolf scramble around looking for us but was struggling to find us it seems. The doors opened again and Lyntia came in with her lab coat on, she whistled and the werewolf came charging through the area up to her, it didn't try and bite her or anything.

"Hmmm, quite the cunning opposition I have, find" she commanded, the werewolf growled in our direction and we readied ourselves as quietly as we could when it jumped we ended up fleeing our corner , the beast snarled.

"That was cheap" I heard Dimentio muttered under his breath.

"So thats where you were, good its much easier now that your together" Lyntia said, the werewolf scattered us again and it went for me, I slammed it on the head and stunned it, I heard a scream. I whipped around and saw Lyntia with Mimi in a choke hold and holding a gun to her head.

"Let Mimi go" Dimentio demanded, Lyntia lightly held the trigger and she looked at me, I know what she wanted and I quickly formed and idea, I hope this works though.

"Here, I'll come over and as soon as I do let Mimi go" I said, Lyntia gave me a surprised look, I dropped my staff and walked over.

"What are you doing?" I heard dad ask, I gave him a look of 'trust me' and then came up to Lyntia, she let go of Mimi and then took a hold of me.

"I knew you couldn't hold up if someone you consider family is being held hostage now say good by to your precious family" Lyntia said, the werewolf finally shook itself from the stun and Lyntia snapped her fingers, it came towards us. I clsoed my eyes and then snapped them open at the creature as it prowled towards us, I stomped on her foot and with a yelp she let go of my and I took her gun. The werewolf howled and lunged at me, I shot a bullet as it made the jump, I got it hard in the chest and I dodged it. It's blood dripped to the ground and I ran to my bo staff and picked it up, the werewolf growled and looked at me again.

"I've got this thing now" I said, the beast charged me on all fours and I ran at it, it jumped last moment, I jumped as well and clashed with it mid air, I got a few kicks in and it was unable to bite me, we hit the ground hard though and I was almsot flattened by it. I dodged it and I ended up by Lyntia, she grabbed my bo staff and hit me in the side of my head, I fell down dazed and seeing double, without thinking though I kicked her legs out from under her and reclaimed my staff.

"Ermora, watch out!" I heard everyone shut, I looked over and saw that the werewolf was on its two legs and looming over me, I got up and went to strike it with my staff, it was smart however and caught the staff. It got the staff from my grip and tossed it, I was defenseless as this thing jumped back and went onto all 4 and charged me again. I saw dad toss me his staff and I grabbed it and sharged the beast again, we both jumped and I struck as it went in for a strike as well. I felt the staff connect but it also got me, I felt it's claws rake my shoulder, we both hit the ground and my shoulder blazed with pain. Lyntia got up and saw that ehr cerature was dieing and grunted unhappily.

"That's it for now, I'll be back for you Ermora, don't count yourself lucky this time you bitch" Lyntia snapped, she left with her creature by her, I watched for only a moment more before the pain in my shoulder snapped my attention back to the situation, I was just scratched... shit.

"Ermora are you alright?" I heard Dimentio ask in concern, I handed my dad's staff back to him and grabbed my bo staff.

"No, I was just scrtached, thats NOT good" I snapped, there were a few gasps but dad looked me in the eyes.

"We will just monitor it for now, you didn't come into contact with any bodily fluids so you may be ok for now" he said, I nodded but felt a rock inside my stomache, this wasn't how I saw it.

"Yeah k, I'll take notes on it, now lets clean up the mess we made before the place reeks k" Nastasia said, we all nodded and went to clean up our respective spots, as I cleaned my spot up I was a bit worried about how tonight played out, I shouldn't worry but I do. Clean up finished pretty fast and I felt exhausted despite sleeping most of the day away, I tended to my wound quickly and then found myself on my bed. I closed my eyes and could only hope for the best but I know whatever will come we can face it together.
