Howling Meadow
Author Notes: Another one shot my friends. This is Mako and this one is kinda supernaturalish haha, wait is that a word? Eh it is now~ This is a piece done in high school but i edited and added a lot to it. So it's not the original, personally I think this is a bit better so yeah. Enjoy!
Katana's P.O.V
The moon, the moon is full. It's so peaceful here, the flowers consume this meadow and the lake glows with light. I could stay out here forever, but I know I cannot... my heart begins to hurt, out of the corner of my eye, I see him, and he sees me…
"What do you want to show me?" He's beautiful as always, my heart breaks for what I'm about to do. Will he understand? Will he still love me? It's now or never.
"I'm sorry, please understand what I'm about to tell, you, to show you. Do not be afraid and do not run." He nods; and leans against the tree, curiosity in his eyes. The moon licks over his face and ilumiates my body.
I feel the pull as always, my muscles begin to tighten, to coil. My face contorts in pain, aware of the ritual that continues night after night. He stares at me now with concern as I shiver. You'd think I'd be used to it by now, but I'm not, I never did.
This curse that that breaks me apart. Am I a human, or am I an anime? I can't even remember what I originally was. My body is reacting, changing. My hand out of habit is clutched to my chest as I fall, no longer able to keep myself standing.
On my knees, the pain intensifies; my bones feel like they're, breaking, melting to shift and morph me into something else. Something deadly. My breathing becomes shallow, I don't have much time, I waited to long.
Quickly he strides towards me, instinctively rushing to my side, I didn't want him to see. He's sprinting now, desperate, shouting at me. In my last few moments while intact, while I'm still myself, I wail with tears streaking down my face. "I'm Sorry!"
There was blinding light, no mystical aura surrounding my being. no now I'm no longer myself, my human self that is. My skin, is covered with hair...or I should say fur. My hands are now paws with claws...I lost the human me. My mind is still here, but the form, the body is gone for yet another night.
I stare into his eyes, the always same violet eyes, I knew for so long. Surely he sees my tail, my ears, and my fangs. Like my human hair, the fur on my body is pure white, like snow. I used to believe that I was like the snow. Cold to all yet shining brilliantly. But I knew, the moment i met him, that was a fabrication to keep my heart locked.
I howl in agony, the pain, oh how it hurts. The change always remains as a insufferable torture. It never gets better…but nothing hurts more then this, what he sees, knowing he will leave, he will run from me, a beast. Or worse, him looking at me as he kills. Destroying me.
The moon becomes clouded with a halo of gold, as if sensing my distress…I pray it never leaves. The man I loved so dearly walks towards me once more, confident…determined.
He no longer looks at me in concern but with anger…no with rage. Fear courses through me…I should run while I have a chance, my instincts screaming but I'm frozen. He grabs my muzzle, not only forcing me to stay, but to make me face him. Unsure of his motives I stay still...
In a low soft voice, he states. "You're stuck with me Katana." As if reading my thoughts and fears. he continues. "Deal with it because I'm not leaving. You can run all you want…I'll always follow you. Never will I abandon you." It was a miracle. He's here, looking in my eyes of not the demon spawn of a wolf, but the human. The girl known as Katana.
I stare at him, as he does to me…after eons the moon fades from the sky. Not once until tonight did it disappear from it's vast position. As it goes so does my canine features. My pain stays, reminding me of what I am. However, it did not define who I am.
Instead of insanity I gain my humanity, no longer the wolf. My curse, if just for this cold dark night is gone. All that remains is him, holding me, quietly scolding me and vowing his love to me. The tears gliding off my cheeks.
The moon is no longer my only witness of existence. I have him, all I ever wanted, a friend, an ally, and a lover. I sag into his embrace. I would wish for nothing more, for I am no longer alone.
The end
