Chapter 5: Full Moon

Remus's POV

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Stood in the room, breathing heavily as the moon rose higher, knowing in just a few moments I would no longer be me.

The wolf inside me stirred feeling, like me, the moon nearing its peak. Once free, I knew the wolf would attack everything around it before beginning to attack itself, desperate for blood.

There's something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear
Is never ending, controlling

The moon rose, and with it my control sunk, slowly, the wolf began its attack on my mind and body from within.

My body jerked, landing on the floor with a thump as I twitched in pain, my back arching. My body screaming at the unnatural shapes it was being forced into, trying to keep the wolf inside.

I can't seem to find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence)
(I'm convinced that there's)
(Just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before so insecure

I hoped with all my heart the room was sound proof, because as the moon finally reached its peak, I lost all control and a high pitched scream escaped my mouth.

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a full body mirror on the wall, briefly I wished it wouldn't be there, for I'd had glass in my cuts before and knew it would hurt when the wolf slammed into it thinking its reflection was an actual wolf.

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled
Itself upon me distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem

With a sick fascination, I watched my body twist into shapes unimaginable as another animalistic sound tore its way from my throat.

My bones shrunk and stretched, shifting, my organs felt like they would explode as a fiery pain began; I knew they were changing shape to that of a wolf, even my heart hurt as it too changed.

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence)
(I'm convinced that there's)
(Just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before so insecure

Finally the painful transformation reached my mind, I could no longer think or feel. The wolf let out a painful scream that sounded more like a howl as its body jerked.

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Finally, the change was complete, the wolf had completely taken over. It gave another howl, shaking itself to get rid of any of the remaining pain.

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

Growling, the wolf saw the mirror and with a snarl at the other wolf that dared enter his new territory, he leaped and crashed into the glass.

Realizing there was nothing there; the wolf began to attack everything, trying to find the human he could smell, to reach the blood it craved.

When nothing gave him what he craved, he began to bite and scratch himself. Once the wolfs teeth pierced his own skin and he tasted the blood, it sent him into a frenzy, scratching and biting with more determination, desperate for every drop.

There's something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Consuming
(Confusing what is real)
This lack of self control I fear
Is never ending, controlling
(Confusing what is real)

As the night drew to an end and the wolf was whimpering at the pain he had caused himself, the moon began to sink and the painful transformation began again.

The howls changed to screams and finally silence.

With my mind back, I began to cry, the pain and blood loss sending me into shock before slumping unconscious in a pool of my own blood.

A/N: For anyone who wants to know, the song was Crawling by Linkin Park. :)
