Blood and Flowers Chapter 1

Crystal looked up at the sun from where she was walking on the sidewalk. It's going to be another full moon tonight, thought Crystal. Crystal was so anxious about it she bumped right into someone. Crystal fell to the ground. Her books scattered. She was about to growl at the person who bumped into her when she was looking straight into a boy with golden eyes. He had black hair and a red headband to keep his bangs from his eyes. He was wearing a white Chinese uniform with yellow on the edges. He was holding his hand out to help Crystal up. Crystal swatted his hand away as she gathered her books up.

"Nice books you have there," said the boy. He was pointing to a book that said The Mysteries About Werewolves.

Crystal didn't answer and collected her books and walked around him. She didn't like that boy one bit. She really hated his little nosey bussnuess into her books.

School passed by quickly. Crystal didn't fall asleep at all in class, like many of the other students. Crystal found out that the boy she bumped into earlier was named Rei and he was almost in all of the same classes with her.

Crystal waited until the full moon was up. She could feel her hands starting to grow claws and her hands changing to paws. Crystal couldn't stand on two legs anymore. She pushed herself forward and her feet turned into back paws and legs. She grew a tail. She also grew a muzzle. Teeth as sharp as butchers knifes grew from her mouth. Her sky blue eyes were the only didn't change. She soon grew white fur all around her body.

She opened the window with her muzzle. She then jumped out. It was a long jump from her window to the ground, but she landed. Crystal ran through the streets. She looked at a little boy that was wondering off somewhere. Crystal licked her teeth. Dinner is about to be served thought Crystal. She ran straight to the boy. The boy was about to scream when Crystal passed him and went straight for a bird. It was going to hurt the boy. Crystal went for the throat of the bird and killed it. Crystal took the bird in her mouth and went to the boy. She laid the kill at the boy's feet. The boy was a little afraid at first, but started to pet the white wolf on the head. Crystal liked this. She licked the boy's hand in thanks. Crystal then ran off.

Crystal was walking down the street. She looked for something to eat. She found a garbage can. She made it tumble to the side. She found a steak that someone hardly chewed. She chewed that up straight away. She looked around. She could smell a human approaching. Then, Rei came over to the white wolf.

"Hello there," said Rei.

Crystal growled a bit until he petted her on the head. Crystal was shocked at first, but soon got used to his soft touch.

"You must be hungry, little fella," said Rei.

Crystal licked his hand in yes. Rei took out a hamburger that was from McDonald's. It wasn't eaten yet. Rei put it on the ground, in front of Crystal. Crystal sniffed it, making sure it wasn't poisoned. She then bit into half of it. She pushed the rest with her nose back to Rei. She wanted him to eat the rest. Rei shook his head but his stomach grumbled, not agreeing with him. Crystal almost looked like she was smiling. She sniffed the air again. She could tell another human was close by. She growled low. Rei looked at her, confused.

"Ok young man, hand me all the money you got and I'll leave," said a robber.

Rei turned around and was knocked out by a rock that the robber had. Crystal growled at the robber. She attacked him, digging her teeth into his flesh. The robber screamed and tried shaking Crystal off his arm. But he couldn't. Crystal held on. Then, Crystal let go and the robber went away. Crystal went to Rei. She tried licking his face to wake him up, but she couldn't. Crystal sank her teeth into his clothing and dragged him to her house. The sun was rising. Crystal started to change form. Crystal growled low. She climbed up the tree that was next to her house. She carried Rei into her window and put him on her bed. Her transformation back to a human was complete. Crystal grabbed some clothes and headed to the bathroom. She didn't want to be caught.

Rei slowly opened his eyes to find that he wasn't in his room. But the room looked like it belonged to a boy. A boy that was obsessed with werewolves. Werewolf posters were all over the place and there were pictures all around the room. Werewolf books were in the bookshelves. Rei touched his head and saw he was bleeding.

"Lay down," said a sweet and calm voice.

Crystal went to Rei. She wrapped his head in bandages.

"You need to lye down," said the girl.

Rei lay down and soon closed his eyes. He was in a peaceful dream, thinking about that girl.
