A/N: If you guys have read my newest chapter of Selected, you'd know that this part is completely inspired by the Blood Moon/Supermoon that was last night, so... I'm gonna make it happen!
Another dreadful day at school is about to begin. Yay me.
Carmine walks up to me, "Is Harlow's brother okay? Claire told me." I giggle, "Yeah, he's perfectly fine. He just swallowed some dishwasher soap, but the doctors pumped his stomach and now he's perfectly fine. They wanted to keep him overnight, which is why Harlow isn't in school today; I have to pick up her homework." He nods and holds my head up, smiling. He then gently takes his hands off, making me wish his hands would linger. His lips then connect with mine, and I sigh into his mouth, "Let's take this somewhere else." He smirks lustfully, and we walk hand-in-hand to the hallway near the janitors closet. Nobody goes there.
He pushes me against the wall and kisses me hard, causing my lips to part involuntarily. His hands trail up the sides of my stomach, getting very close to my chest. I moan his name, and jump onto him, latching my legs around him. My tail becomes stiff and then begins to wag slightly. I push my hands up his t-shirt, rubbing his stomach, causing him to moan. His hands grip onto my butt, and I squeal. The bell then interrupts us, and I groan as he puts me down, kissing my neck, "I love you so much, Sienna Eaton." "I love you too, Carmine Silver." I state, as my tail begins to wag with happiness and my ears fold over. We then begin the walk to English together, again hand-in-hand.
Once we arrive to English class, neither Harlow nor Pandora are anywhere to be seen. Since class hadn't formally started, I walk up to Mr. Hayes, "Mr. Hayes, can I have some extra classwork? I'm collecting Harlow's things." He begins to check through various folders and then asks, "Do you know where she is?" My head tilts, "Well, her brother was admitted into the hospital yesterday, and she had to stay with him and her family overnight." "Tell her I'm sorry," He states as he hands me a packet labeled "PETER PAN REVIEW QUESTIONS" and her quiz, she got a 93%. I quietly thank him and walk back to my seat.
Claire prompts me as soon as I sit down, "Is Harlow at the hospital still?" I nod, and she states, "They pumped his stomach right?" I nod again, and she kneels at my desk, "Are you mad at me?" I begin to blush, "You like Carmine too, don't you?" She looks down, red blush filling her cheeks, "A little. Why? Was I overdoing it yesterday?" Does she not know me and Carmine are already an item? "Me and Carmine are..." I pause and finish the last part in a whisper, "Already dating." "What?!" Claire says, "OMG! I feel like such a terrible friend for totally hitting on him while he was already yours! Congratulations, by the way!" I smile, and she says, "Is that why you have a hickey on your neck?" "What?!" I yell out, touching my neck, and she responds, "Just kidding! Haha, just trying to get you." I glare at her and bark. She laughs and walks back to her seat as Mr. Hayes rises, giving us a speech on how our test is going to be 'super challenging' but I'm naturally good at English, so I don't really worry too much about what he's saying. He then prompts us to begin working on the review booklet, and I circle all of the questions that Mr. Hayes made us complete in Harlow's packet so she knows specifically what to do for homework.
Once class ends, Carmine walks past me and slides his finger gently across my palm, making me shiver. A flirtatious smile creeps along my face and he giggles as he walks downstairs to his Math class, and I make my way to Intro. in Engineering. Like my dad, I've always loved computers and machines.
That class whizzed by, and soon enough I had Biology with Carmine. We sit next to each other and since we sit next to each other, the teacher forces us to do labs together. Today, the lab required us dissecting a baby pig. My mouth began to water when I saw it; I've been craving bacon since this morning. The teacher put the little porker down in front of us, and I read out the first direction, "Draw a line in Sharpie marker down the abdomen. This is where the first incision will go." I grab the gloves and flip the piggy on it's back, allowing its stomach to show; Carmine draws the line on the abdomen. He reads out the next direction, "Step Two: Grabbing the scalpel, make the first incision along the line that you just drew." I grab the scalpel and groan in pain when I begin to see some internal organs like the heart and liver. "Step three," I state, "Take the tongs and flip the skin over so you could see more of the anatomy of the piglet." I do exactly as the directions say, and notice Carmine; his head is facing away from me, he must be squeamish at these types of things. He then puts his head in his hands and leans against the table. At this, I ask, "Carmine, you alright?" He lifts his head, and states very quietly, "Yeah, I'm fine." I look at his face, it's extremely pale, and a thin layer of sweat covers his forehead. My ears perk up, "Carmine, you should go to the nurse, you don't look good." "Don't worry, I just get queasy when I see the inside of things, that's all." It doesn't seem like it. Seems like something else, the wolf says, and I ignore it.
"Okay," I respond, and then follow the next set of directions, "Step four, remove the heart and lungs from the piglet." I cut the arteries of the heart, allowing it to become loose, and I growl as the wolf feels like biting into it, but I try to control myself. I then cut away the lungs and take them out with the tongs, placing them on a paper plate. I then hear Carmine begin to breathe deeply, and I respond, "Carmine, I could do the lab myself if you aren't feeling good. Seriously, the teacher could make an exception if you need to go to the nurse." "I'm alright, Sienna. Everything's fine." Carmine says deeply, though he doesn't make eye contact with me which worries me a bit. I look away and continue the lab on my own. The teacher then walks over to our table, she's an older lady with short curly blonde hair and a waifish figure to her. She always wore expensive clothing, being that she had a PhD and a MD. She taps Carmine on the shoulder, causing him to lift his head, and her eyes to widen, "Carmine, are you alright? You look like you're going to be sick!" "Don't worry Dr. Girler, I'll be alright." "Do you need to go to the nurse? Or some water?" She asks, genuinely concerned, and he responds, "Just some water would be great." She walks over to her water cooler and pours him a cup and hands it to him as he takes light sips. "Let me know if you feel worse, because I could excuse you from the lab. You only need to do 25 labs for the State Exam, and we do fifty so if you don't do this lab, you could make it up on another one." "Thanks Doctor, but I should be alright." She nods, and addresses her attention to me, "How are you doing, Sienna?" "Lovely!" I state, and she responds gleefully, "Great! Call me over if you have any more questions." I giggle as she walks over to another table and begins to help them with the first incision.
I soon get a sudden urge to go to the bathroom, and I tell Carmine, "I've gotta go to the bathroom. I'll be right back. Tell Doctor for me?" He nods silently, but still remains at his position with his head against the table and his arms surrounding his head like a prison.
Once I come back from the bathroom, I notice that the heart is missing, That's funny, I could've sworn that I put it on the plate... I ask Carmine, "Do you know where the heart went?" He shakes his head, and I notice a red spot on his lip, "Carmine, seriously, we can't complete the lab if we can't find it!" He shrugs, "I don't know where it went. I swear." I groan and walk up to Dr. Girler, telling her our situation, which causes her to give us a completely new heart. I thank her immensely and walk back as I begin to dissect the new heart and notice all of the different chambers. Carmine begins to complete the questions, avoiding looking at the organs as much as possible.
The bell then rings, signaling the end of the period, and Carmine gets up and packs up extremely quickly and almost runs out of the classroom. My eyebrows furrow, and I run after him. I chase him all the way down the hallway, but then notice he goes into the boy's bathroom, and I can't follow him in there. The wolf screams, Sienna, believe me, there's something weird about him! I could've sworn I smelled pheromones before when you two were making out! I dismiss the wolf, she naturally assumes the worst of everybody. I close my eyes and walk to my next class.
The day continued to drone by, and I hadn't seen Carmine at all for the rest of the day, maybe he went home sick? He didn't look too hot in biology, maybe that's why he ran to the bathroom.
Claire walks home with me, "How was the rest of your day?" I mutter, "Fine." Her eyebrows pull to the center of her forehead, "Is something wrong, Sienna?" "No, it's just, Carmine was acting awfully strange today... it started in Biology when we were dissecting the piglet, and he just looked like he was going to be sick. Then, I went to the bathroom, and the piglet's heart was missing, and I saw a red spot on his lip." Claire winces, "You don't think he ate it do you?" My eyebrows lift, "I don't know. I hope not." Claire laughs, "That'd be super gross anyways!" "Hey," I interrupt, "Hearts are a nice snack." Claire squeals, "Ewww!" I begin to laugh; I adore when I gross her out like that.
Soon enough, we arrive to my house, and Claire continues to walk; her house is about six away from mine, so she could continue the trek on her own. When I walk in, my parents are not there, but my Aunt Fallon is. "Hey!" She yells out and I run and give her a hug; I hadn't seen her since I was five, because my father cut off all ties with his family...again. She kisses my cheek, "How are you, kiddo? Look how big you got, you're gonna be taller than me soon!" She's not technically my aunt, she's more so my cousin, but my dad made me call her aunt. I respond, "Yeah, well I haven't seen you in ten years. You look good yourself, actually!" She smiles, "Your dad called me and asked to babysit, your parents were called on an important meeting for work which they couldn't miss. You know how it is." I laugh, "I don't need a babysitter." She laughs, "Also an excuse to see you!" I giggle, and she hands me a cookie, "I took the liberty of baking these; your mother kept them in the freezer and I decided to cook them up for us to share!" I munch on the cookie and grin so wide that my cheeks hurt.
"Your father also told me that it was important I was here because it's a full moon and I'm supposed to keep watch; just in case you go all werewolf on me." I roll my eyes, "I'm able to control my transformations, most of the time. Except when I'm really angry or feeling an extreme emotion of any kind."
I open my laptop on the counter and notice numerous video call messages from Amanda. I respond, "Sorry, my friend just called, I gotta take this." Aunt Fallon smiles and nods, and I run upstairs and sit on my bed. I try to call Amanda back, but an error message appears, "Unable to contact: Amanda". Her computer must be off, my mind states, at least it shows that I tried to call her back.
I walk downstairs and begin to start my homework; Aunt Fallon helps me on a couple of math problems because she took the same class as me: Geometry. After I finish homework, I lie on the couch and begin to watch T.V., but before I know it, my eyes drift closed.
I awaken about three hours later, according to my phone it's around 8:30 p.m. I notice Aunt Fallon, she's passed out on the couch as well. I walk up to my room involuntarily, and walk out onto my balcony that is attached to my room; my parents put that in place just in case I needed it to howl and such.
I soon get a buzz on my phone. My news app appears with the headline, "Super Blood Moon Tonight! Keep Watch!" I read the accompanying article; apparently there's a super moon where the moon is 14.5% bigger and its also a lunar eclipse, which will make the moon appear red-ish brown due to refracting sunlight and the moon moving into Earth's shadow. My tail twitches and I feel the wolf take over as I howl loudly and a chorus of howls join in with me; strange, I've never heard so many howls at once.
My back cracks and I fall to the ground in excruciating pain as I feel my spine shift and move around. "What's happening!?" I scream out, not like anyone will hear me. I look at my hands, covered with fur and slowly turning into paws; my nails sharpen into black claws quite painfully as I let out a gut wrenching scream. Fur grows on my back and I grab the railing of the balcony and stand myself up. I run downstairs, I need to tell Aunt Fallon.
When I arrive downstairs, Aunt Fallon has a look on her face like she'd just witnessed a murder, "What's happening to you, Sienna?" I say, in a voice deeper than my own, "I don't know! It's the...moon!" I scream as a snout begins to grow on my face and my teeth sharpen into long fangs. I feel my eyes turn red as I gain a lust for blood. My aunt just watches in horror, as she grabs the phone and calls my parents. She begins to talk to seemingly my dad, "Tobias! Your daughter, she's turning into a wolf! But painfully though, she claims this has never happened before." My acute hearing allows me to understand my dad's words from the other end, "We're on our way. Please, don't let her leave the house!" I begin to growl as my transformation completes, and I shake the tatters of clothes off of my fur. I run to my parents bedroom and look in their large floor to ceiling mirror. The wolf that stares back at me is large, about the size of a great dane, and my fur is long and sleek. Red pupil-less eyes stare back at me in the mirror, and I open my mouth to notice saber-tooth tiger like fangs. I begin to growl as my wolf tendencies take over my body.
Tris's P.O.V.
Tobias runs into the house before me, and screams out, "Where is she?" Fallon is frozen in fear as she points upstairs, and Tobias runs up, his silver keychain in his hand. I follow swiftly behind.
He barks, and we hear Sienna's bark coming from our room, our room? Tobias pushes the door open to reveal a large and fluffy Sienna with deep red eyes, like the color of the moon outside. She growls at us, and I notice her fangs, super long and deadly sharp. She lunges at Tobias and he shows the silver keychain and her eyes tighten into a glare as she runs outside, breaking the window as she escapes. He rises, dusting himself off, when I notice multiple scratch marks all over his t-shirt; the exposed skin showing is bleeding. I run to the medicine closet in the bathroom, grabbing cloth and antibiotic cream to apply to the wounds.
When I return, Tobias already has his shirt off and I run over and begin to apply the cream to the cuts, and he winces in pain. I hold his hand and he stares at me, tears are pricked in his dark blue eyes. I kiss his cheek, and he says, "What happened to our daughter? What did the moon do to her?" I shrug, and he grabs his tablet and begins to look it up.
Soon enough, he states, "Aha! During a Blood Moon, Mesawolves turn almost werewolf like, which is unlike their usual nature. This is evident as they go through a painful transformation into their wolf self, but are larger with deep red eyes, signifying their blood lust. It is vital that Mesawolves are kept at bay during this time period, as they are very violent." "Well, we didn't do a good job at that..." I respond and Tobias groans, "I realize. Hopefully she'll come back in the morning."
Sienna's P.O.V.
I run through the woods, my paws hitting the plush grass. I track down a buck, and it's head lifts up and it stares directly at me. I lick my lips and pursuit after it as it leaps away; I'm faster than it, so I catch up to it, biting it in the abdomen. It soon falls to the ground, unconscious, and I begin to tear it apart and eat its flesh. I howl in victory, and another howl sounds close by, and I run off to the direction in which I heard it.
Soon enough, I come face to face with a large red wolf with piercing red eyes, like mine. "Sienna, it's me, Amanda." I hear her say in my mind. "Amanda? What's happened to me?" I whimper, and she walks over to me, sitting down and wrapping me with her long tail, "During blood moons, Mesawolves gain a lust for blood. Which is why you transformed so painfully, it's your inner animalistic qualities coming out to play." I whimper, "I don't like this Amanda, I want to be normal again." "I know, Sienna. It's hard. But it'll only last for tonight. You'll be back to normal in the morning." Amanda responds somberly.
I hear another rustling in the trees again, and I turn to look; a large dark brown wolf with light blue eyes stares at me from the trees. It's a...male.
His ears perk up and it hides in the bushes again where I run over and pull him out of the bushes, causing him to growl lowly at me. I growl back, and soon enough we're fighting on the ground. Those eyes, no Mesawolves have those color eyes...
He jumps off of me and chases after a doe that had just appeared in the trees and tackles it to the ground with one swift movement; I'm impressed by his skill. I run over and we begin to eat the doe together, he eats the heart and the lungs and I eat the muscles and brain. Another howl sounds and the brown wolf looks at me, his eyes somber. He the runs off, leaving me in the dust. What is this feeling? I feel like... I know him.
Amanda stalks over to me, "You seemed smitten for that wolf. And you were right when you thought about his eye color; that's because he's a werewolf, not a Mesawolf." "Huh?! They exist?" I ask, and she smiles, "Of course. They change on every full moon, and they are untamed Mesawolves. He has the chance to become a Mesawolf." "Really?" I ask, and she nods, "Indeed. It's very tedious though, unless you would ever like to try." I ponder it, I don't know any werewolves, so...
The sun begins to rise and I fall to the ground in extreme pain as I transform back to normal. The only downside-I'm naked. I fall to the ground, tired, and I feel delicate hands lift me up. Amanda. She's bringing me home.
