From a distant I recall
The howling of an animal
Shadows moving in rhythem wich the trees
The night has never seen the grey of day
My hands caressed by moonlight
My eyes close to the melody of night

Close your eyes - close your mind
and dancing in the moonlight
Close your eyes - close your mind
and dancing in the moonlight-Crematory, Moonlight

"Ouch bloody hell Mari you stepped on my toe," I moaned as I hopped around on one foot. "Well it's dark," she said defensively smoothing down her hair.

Being the drama queens we all were we had all worn some form of black to 'blend and still be sexy' according to Michael. I wore a tight black top that clung to my small figure and dark jeans. My hair was pulled back into a bun with whisps that fell into my eyes; I brushed one of these away annoyingly and glared at Marissa.

Marissa(Or Mari) wore a dark black halter top and black leather pants(never misses a chance to show off her ass, that one) her hair was pulled into a tight ponytail with a few curled strands that fell just short of her chin, she in turn glared at Jade who had just joined us.

Jade had on a tight fitting black spaghetti strap top and light black capris that stopped just short of her ankles. Her hair was pulled back and secured with a clip(black O' course) except for a single strand that she always kept down, she glanced down at Michael.

Michael was wearing a black tube top(I mean of all the nights….) and long black pants. Her hair was in two French braids(which had been done by me thank you very much) with two strands that fell into her eyes, she glared at a tree.

"Stop fooling around!" Jade hissed attempting to take a step only to trip over a large tree root and fall over, "Damn nature," she muttered angrily.

I rolled my eyes and stepped over Jade's body and into the cluster of tree's beckoning the other girls to follow; we walked for what had to be at least 10 minutes before Marissa stopped us. "My feet hurt," she grumbled massaging her ankle, "Why don't we just go back?"

"Well maybe you shouldn't have worn platforms," Jade said through gritted teeth.

Marissa opened her mouth to retort but a loud howl cut her off, "What was that?" Michael gasped clinging to me.

"I dunno…probably a bird or something," I said attempting to appear cool and unconcerned.

"Hey maybe it was that tree over there," Marrisa giggled attempting a joke while pointing to a tree that was thrashing around violently.

The howl came again, though this time it seemed louder, "Lets get out of here," Jade whimpered. "I'm scared Tasha- lets just go."

"Come on," I said sternly, "There's nothing to be afraid of, that noise we heard was probably an owl or a- what's wrong with your guys you look like you've just seen a ghost?"

"W-w…" Marissa stammered backing away slowly, "W-w…"

"Don't. Turn. Around." Jade said quietly "Don't move…"

"What?" I asked nervously, "Guy's this isn't funny, this is-" I heard a soft growl from behind me and, against my will, turned my head just enough to see a large grey animal, yellow fangs stuck out of it's mouth and it's familiar looking honey eyes were fixed on me.

"WOLF!" I screamed taking off running, I darted through tree's and bushes, the others forgotten, getting away was all that was on my mind.

"TASHA!" I heard a voice scream, rolling onto the ground to avoid the snarling animal I turned my head to see Michael waving frantically at me from the violent tree which for some reason no longer seemed to be thrashing.

I leaped to my feet turning sharply to the side, doing so feeling my ankle crack painfully. I ran with all the speed I had towards the tree finally jumping and knocking both Marissa and myself into a tunnel in the tree.

We tumbled down a dark and narrow passage landing in a tangle of limbs at the bottom to be greeted by a very shaken looking Michael, "Where's Jade?" She asked fearfully looking around for the brunette.

I shook my head sadly, "I don't know Michael…I don't know."
