Chapter 6

Moonlight

The first week of school passed by quickly. Caleb was glad to find that he had all of his classes with Ryoku and Akmed. His classes included; Arithmacy, History, Herbology, Transfiguration, Defense against the Dark Arts, Potions, Muggles Studies, and Astronomy. He escpeicially enjoyed Defense against the Dark Arts and History with their wonderful teacher Ms. Granger. Ms. Granger had apparently been a student at Hogwarts just a few years back and she had been close friends with the famous Harry Potter the one who defeated The Great Lord Voldemort himself.

"Teacup into turtle, no! Wait, I can do it, no what oh! Bloody hell!" Ryoku was mumbling to her self, transfiguration was her hardest class, plus McGonagall didn't seem to like her very much. Her teacup which was supposed to be a turtle looked more like a cup with little green legs. McGonagall had assigned seats so Ryoku got stuck sitting next to Kathryn Janson, an annoying Hufflepuff girl who kept clicking her tongue and cracking her knuckles. Ryoku shivered as she turned to see McGonagall watching her tediously.

"Ryoku Leonne, I am disappointed with you, you aren't even working with Miss Janson, and I see you paid no attention to my specific instructions to point at the teacup and say 'Tortaleum Sofranes" but, oh no, you do whatever you please, I would like to see that teacup in the form of a turtle next class Miss Leonne!" McGonagall lectured.

"Sorry, Professor but I..." Ryoku was cut off.

"Talk to me later!"

"But!"

"No buts about it, class you are dismissed!"

"I can't believe the nerve of that woman! Thinking I was, not paying attention! I can't believe it!" Ryoku fumed as her Akmed and Caleb exited class together.

"Well, you really weren't paying attention; you were too busy, fiddling with your pen to even hear what McGonagall was saying!" Akmed pointed out

"Yeah but, at least my cup had legs! Yours and Caleb's didn't even have legs!"

"It had a tail!" Caleb laughed, even though it was true, Ryoku had gotten her teacup to look a little more turtley-ish.

"Hey wait a minute!" Ryoku exclaimed. "If my cup looked more like a turtle than yours than how come McGonagall yelled at me and not you two?"

Akmed turned to her "Maybe she just doesn't like you? I mean I know Snape hates me."

"Snape hates everybody..." Caleb smiled.

The days passed quickly and soon Caleb found that it was only one day away from the full moon. He grew agitated and his body ached all over, near the full moon he tended to growl and snarl at people involuntarily. He crossed his fingers and hoped that Akmed and Ryoku wouldn't notice anything.

On the morning of the full moon, Caleb had his plan all figured out. He woke up with a growing feeling of anxiousness in his stomach, he felt weak and achy, and he had a hard time getting up. Akmed had asked him what was wrong and Caleb had simply answered...

"I feel sick; I think I'm going to skip school today."

Akmed nodded, and got up to take a cool shower and get dressed.

Caleb whimpered.

Night was on its way, and Caleb, made his way downstairs clutching his stomach, to Madame Promphrey's Office. She gave him a sad smile and led him to the base of the Whomping Willow.

"Good luck!" She whispered as she poked the root at the base of the thrashing tree with a stick.

He turned and entered the Whomping Willow.

The feeling of nausea overwhelmed him as he stumbled into the shrieking shack, the place his father had transformed over 70 times in his whole seven years. Sweat rolled down his body and he trembled. He watched from the window as the moon appeared from behind the clouds.

His body began shaking violently and he fell to his knees on the ground, he could feel his bones crunching, twisting, changing, his spine lengthening to form a tail, he watched as his pale hands became white paws. His face lengthened into a snout and his teeth painfully took the shape of canines, his ears moved to the top of his head and fur sprouted form his body. A last excruciating howl echoed throughout the shack.

He had become a wolf. A white wolf.

His mind raced his wolfish thoughts fighting with his human ones.

"Must leave....must find away out, I have to....leave.....need to find......"

Kar had been in the Forbidden Forest when he heard the terrifying howl. Of course, he wasn't scared or anything, what chance did an animal have against a vampire? Apparently not much of a chance at all he thought, as he stared at the dead and bloody rabbit in his hands. He smiled his white fangs glistening, this was the time he enjoyed the most, the time of being alone and being able to hunt.

To be myself he thought.

I don't have to pretend to be human here.

His thoughts were interrupted by another pitiful howl.

Kar's curiosity once again got the better of him.

He wandered towards the noise, and found himself facing a cryptic-looking shack. He desperately wanted to find out what was behind the rotting doors of the shack, but something inside him told him it wasn't safe. Or whatever was in there wasn't safe.

He was about to leave when once again a howl was heard, this time he knew he needed to find out what was in the mysterious place. He easily broke the doorknob and entered, his keen eyes picking up every movement. He came to a hall way and heard growling, a door further down was shaking terribly. His faltered for a moment then moved on creeping towards the door. His pale hand touched the knob and the noise stopped.

"GET OUT! Someone...is here I will kill them, they will find out... I can't let...I can't let.... them see me!" Caleb frantically spun around the room trying to find a place to hide, while his wolfish mind was hungry and wanted to find out what was on the other side of the door.

Kar stopped then turned the knob, he opened it to find the form of a large white wolf.

"A....a werewolf...." he stammered, he knew by the scent of its blood, but it was too late too wonder why a werewolf was here because the things came at him at full-force, snarling and growling, like a rabid dog. He ducked in time to miss the blow of the big animal, he watched as it slammed in to the wall, shaking with fury, the thing turned and jumped on top of him. Kar hissed and kept the wolf's jaws away from him, but he couldn't avoid the wolf's claws tearing at his chest. Kar managed to push the animal off of him, and he backed away, his robes teared and his chest bleeding. But the wolf wasn't finished with him, it charged, again but with less strength. Maybe if I can just wear it out until it collapses.... he thought. But he knew even he couldn't last that long, but if he were to run it would follow him and probably bite someone else. No, I have to keep it within the shack. He avoided the jaws of th wolf once again, ducking and dodging, praying it would tire soon.

"Kill, him rip him apart..... bite him..... shred him..... he came he here... he must die...."

"I know him.....he is.....he is the boy from the train... the one who....he saved Ryoku...."

"Doesn't matter... kill him....he needs to die..... then my hunger will be satisfied."

Caleb was tiring and so was Kar, they were both panting, stumbling across the floor. Finally Caleb fainted, as Kar watched the tired wolf slump to the ground he too, found himself weakening; he closed his eyes and crumpled to the floor.

Moonlight still shining through the windows.

Silverwolves: The end, hmmm I wonder what will happen to Kar and Caleb when they wake up? Hmmmm uh...... if your thinking something bad then no, they are not going to start making out or anything this isn't a yaoi fic so yeah......muhuhahahaha. Bye!
