Chapter 13
JESSICA'S POV
Wow. Yesterday's dance was awesome. Sirius and I danced the whole time. Lily and James disappeared after some time. I wondered where they went. Remus and Serena danced the whole time, and Serena was always tripping on purpose. It was like a little joke they shared or something, she told me later.
Sharrie and Leonardo had disappeared too. I had a really great time yesterday, and when the dance was over, Sirius kissed me again. –sigh-
So here I am, sitting back in the girls dorms, talking about the dance with Lily, Serena, and Sharrie. I feel awful for Lily. She won't tell me why she rejected James though. But I'm sure she has her reasons; she always has good reasons. Serena sighed a whole bunch, looking dreamily into the air. Sharrie too, but she won't tell us where she went.
"Where did you and 'Leo' go?"
"-sigh-Not telling."
"Tell!"
"-sighhh- No."
That's basically how questioning her went. I'm sure we'll remember that ball from years to come.
REMUS'S POV
I sat on my bed, looking dreamily into space. Suddenly I felt a jolt of electricity. I gasped, and ran for the girls dormitories. Serena, Lily, Sharrie, and Jessica were sitting on the bed, chatting.
"Serena! Come with me. It's important."
She gasped too, feeling the jolt.
"Ok." We walked down to the common room, and went to the corner.
"Does that happen every time the full moon is near?" She whispered, fingering her necklace, which was almost full now.
"Yes! You might feel queasy, so you have to get a lot of rest."
"Ok Remus."
"And you might feel some pain and have bad moods often."
"Thanks for telling me."
"You need to know. It's very hard to control the mind when it's near a full moon. I can barely control it, and I've been a werewolf since I was six."
It was true. I can barely control the werewolf mind. For the few days before the full moon, I tend to growl from deep inside. I snap at my friends without knowing I did.
"Do your friends know that you're a werewolf?" she asked.
"Not yet, but they are very suspicious."
"Mine too. Should we tell them?"
"Not yet. I don't want to be thought of as a monster."
"I'm sure Lily wouldn't care. She's really nice."
"But still…"
"Ok. I won't tell them."
"Thanks Serena."
Hopefully she wouldn't get the worst of it.
But she did. The day before the full moon, she couldn't attend her classes. She howled ferociously at everyone that came near. Serena was in a lot of pain. I could just kill myself for what I did to her. She was so innocent. Serena had high fever, and had to stay in the hospital wing. I came to visit her often, but it was heartbreaking. She didn't know who I was, and kept trying to bite me. I managed to keep her friends from going into the hospital wing and finding out what we were.
I wasn't in that good of a shape myself. I was looking shabby, and I was very tired.
Finally the dreaded day came. I nodded to Madame Pomfrey, and she nodded back. I supported a very out of control Serena on my shoulder. She kept muttering darkly, and struggling with walking. My mind wasn't going great itself. I whimpered, thinking how if there are no humans allowed, then werewolves were forced to bite themselves.
The moon was starting to come into the star filled sky. I could feel myself transforming, and I did it quietly, trying to ignore the pain. I closed my eyes tightly, waiting for the wolf to take over.
SERENA'S POV
I muttered and tried to keep walking straight. Remus was there too. I looked at my necklace, and looked at the little moon figurine. It was full tonight, and was a dark yellow. Suddenly I let out a strangled choke.
My bones were growing larger, and I was howling with pain. Tears poured out of my eyes. I looked at Remus, who was tightly closing his eyes. Did he feel the pain like I did?
I looked down and gasped. I was growing claws, and my shoes were tearing apart. I glanced at my hands and stared. I turned them downwards and stared at the growing fur and claws.
I never knew the meaning of pain, until tonight. I was thinking about deer now. Fresh, scrumpshish deer. Rabbits too. So tender and juicy. I was thinking like a wolf now. The wolf has become me. I was the wolf.
A deep, inhuman growl came from the bottom of my throat. I padded on 4 paws, waiting for humans to come. And destroy the humans. Another werewolf ran alongside me. I stopped, and glanced at him. Suddenly I sprang at him, wanting desperately to tear something apart.
He sprang also, and we became entangled in a wolf to wolf fight. His claw deeply scratched my back. I howled with pain, and struck back, hitting his shoulder.
Then something got our attention. A small rabbit was twitching his nose in front of us. Immediately, the fighting stopped. We looked at the rabbit hungrily, our drool dripping down our muzzles.
In a second the rabbit was mutilated. I don't recall what happened next, for even my conscience was gone now.
((-sob- POOR RABBIT!!!:( ))
I woke up next morning, lying on the hard ground. My hair was all messed up, and there was something all over my face. I touched it cautiously, and screamed. Looking down at my hands, I see caked blood all over. Then I see the copse of the rabbit, and it all dawned to me. I screamed louder, waking up Remus, who was lying a few yards away from me.
"I CAN'T BELIVE I KILLED AND ATE A RABBIT!!!" I sobbed loudly, for the innocent rabbit, for what I've become. I bawled. Remus crawled weakly over to me.
"I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry." He repeated over and over again.
I buried my wet face into his shirt, which was all ripped and holey. I cried for almost an hour, until I couldn't cry anymore.
I looked up, directly into his eyes. He was sad. I could see and sense it. Remus's face was all scratched up, and I gently touched a wound on his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry." I said sadly.
He gently touched the scratch on my back. I winced from his touch. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."
I started crying again. We were sitting on the ground, looking raggedy. I whimpered, remembering the past night.
"It was pain I have never felt before. I felt like I was about to die." I touched his cheek. "You had to go through it every month since you were 6. How do you do it?"
"The first few times were awful. After that, I knew the pain was coming so it didn't hurt as much, and I tried to ignore the pain." He answered softly.
"At least I got to do it with a friend." I tried to smile, but it came out as a grimace.
((that shall be all folks. Sorry about the delay. I had bundles of homework. –sighs- come to mention it, I still do. The next chapter will be up in about a week. Maybe less. Depends.))
