Isa crouched down, arms resting on his legs, keeping himself up by resting on his feet. I saw his wolfish tail wagging side to side, and his elfish ears perked up. The moon was a wonderful thing to us, we lived off it. It made us strong, more powerful. Though we knew Master was stronger, we understood that he could catch us, and if he did he would kill us. We had no hope of escaping.

I felt my newly met tail wag like Isa's, "What are we supposed to be doing out here anyway? What did Master say?"

"Did you pay attention at all?" Isa questioned.

I shook my head, "I was paying more attention to the bloody knife in his hand."

My friend peered out into the forest, ears up, listening for everything and nothing. "Master told us to gather knowledge."

I blinked and put my hands on my hips, looking at him. "Yeah, 'cause that really helps, Isa."

"Sorry. He said we need to be looking for anything abnormal about each other's actions or appearance."

"We grew TAILS! We've never been out in the full moon, never experienced the full effect of the transformation! How do we know what happens is the experiment or the transformation to full form?"

"I'm not sure... I don't know much about werewolves, which is sad considering I am one."

Actually I wasn't that shocked that Isa didn't know anything. Heck, I was surprised he could read and write, when I first met him he spoke in basic sentences always talking in the third person. Since Master forbid us learning, Isa taught himself, then taught me how to write and read. We're actually really good, compared to... well... nothing else.

Isa was strange compared to me. He has long, shiny, blue hair and glowing yellow eyes. While I have blonde hair and blue eyes. Isa has those odd elf ears, even though he's a werewolf. He's such a strange creature.

"It's okay, Isa, I don't know much either."

He nods and suddenly whips his head towards the forest. "Did you just hear something?"

I nodded slightly, "I think... there it was again!" A scraping noise coming from the tree line.

Isa tilted his head to get better access of the noise. The wolf-like heightened senses that came with the transformation washed over him, taking control. "I think it was a deer or something..."

"Undead deer?"

"Mmmm..." Isa nearly purred. He moved forward, on all fours. It was weird. I think that's something Master would find interesting.

He sniffed at the air, tail going straight behind him, hair getting wild, eyes glowing a dangerous yellow. Isa darted forward, I ran after him, myself still on two legs. I turned in time to see Isa jump on a huge undead deer.

He landed on it's back, making the creature buck its hind legs. Isa dug his claws... errr... fingernails into the thing's back, making it cry out in pain. He grinned ferally and bit down on the beast's neck, its eyes widening making it kick its legs out farther and faster. Isa held on tight to the deer's back, causing it to bleed fiercely.

The beast's front legs gave out, leaving the back two supporting its whole weight plus Isa's. My friend bit down on the thing's neck, piercing a large vein with his fangs.

He jumped off the deer, licking blood covered lips. I watched a creepy grin run across his features as the deer fell to the ground and his smile faded. He looked up at me, horrified.

"What did I just do?" Isa yelped, bringing bloody claws up to look at.

This experiment is doing some weird stuff to us... I just can't WAIT 'till the next thing we experience.

"I can't believe I did that..." Isa muttered lowly, wiping bloodied fingers on his pant legs. "I've become no better than our Master..."

I shook him roughly by the shoulders, "Don't you say that! Don't even think it!"

His eyes flashed that dangerous yellow again and he looked into my eyes, "I attacked and killed a living creature! How can I not think about it?" He pulled out of my grasp and wiped his hand across his mouth, bringing it back, bloody. "I- I'm a monster..."

"You aren't. It's the wolf part of you, taking control of your mind. I know you didn't mean to do it, Isa."

He nodded curtly and looked away, towards the house, "Should we head back to Master?"

"Yeah, I think he may want to know what happened..."

Isa turned to me again, confused, "But, you said it was the wolf..."

"Yeah, I know, but I want to know why it didn't happen to me."

He turned to look at the house, looking away from the dead deer before him. My friend started walking to our 'home' through the dead weeds and grass. I ran after him, quickly catching up.

We quickly made it to the front door and it swung in, Master standing before us. He yanked us inside, me by my collar, and Isa by his hair. My friend yelped out in pain, the wolf part of him was ready to attack while the slave part of him won and made him obey the Master.

Our Owner looked from me to Isa and back again, "Well, what did you find out?"

Isa turned to me, as did Master. I swallowed hard, "W-well, I noticed that Isa had changed more so than a normal werewolf... and he..."

Master growled, "He what?"

"He killed a deer in the woods, sir."

Our Master scowled, turning to fix his glare on Isa. He dug his fist into the bloodied blue hair, near his head, pulling back. "You killed a deer? On MY land?"

Isa let out a yelp. I automatically felt awful for saying anything. My friend was going to get hurt... it is all my fault. Tears of pain and worry ran down his cheeks as Master yanks his head back, his stepped back, watching the scene from a corner of the room. My friend cried out, "I- I'm sorry, Master! I did not mean to! Could not control myself!"

Master pulled back on his hair, making his neck crane back painfully. His mouth hung open, fangs shining red with blood. Owner brought his fingers to the fangs, wiping blood from them onto two digits. "What is this, slave?" Master held the two blood covered fingers

"It is blood, Master..." He was shaking, I could see it from where I was, "It is the deer's blood."

"Very good." Master's voice was scarily calm. "Now, what is the deer's blood doing in your mouth?" He lifted one of Isa's hands for a moment, before dropping it back to his side, "And on your claws?"

"I- I- I... My instincts took over, Sir, I could not control... acted as a wolf would have..."

"Oh and how was that?" Master sent him an evil smile.

"Tooth and claw, my Master, going for large veins."

"I see, now, Isa... Do you think you should be punished for this? This killing on my land?" The hand removed itself from Isa's hair, Owner stepped back, letting Isa relax. My friend regained his posture and looked at the floor. Not saying a word.

Master raised a hand and smacked him in the back of the head, "Answer me!"

My friend yelped, "I do not know, Master!"

Master snorted, "You don't know?"

"N-no, sir! Isa does not know! It is up to Master!"

I nearly cried... he was so scared and I couldn't help him, I looked from Isa to our Master. Isa was shaking with fear, tears dripping down his cheeks as Master glared at him.

"Killing a deer on my property, that is quite the offence, my pet. It betrays my trust." Master cupped my friend's jaw in his hand. "Do you think you should be punished?"

"Y-yes, Master..." Isa cried, clenching his eyes shut, "Isa killed! I deserve it!"

"That you do, my slave." He moved the hand to my friend's hair again, pulling back, bringing a loud yelp.

"Please, do not harm... Master, I beg! Please..." I saw fresh tears drip down his cheeks.

Master hissed, "You do NOT order your Master, I am more powerful than you, I order you."

"Yes! Yes! Master is far more powerful than me, Master is strong, Master is so much more intelligent than Isa!"

"Am I, my pet?"

"Y-yes! Yes!"

Master took his hand from Isa's blue locks and elbowed him in the gut. My friend fell to his hands and knees, bringing a hand to clutch his stomach. His hair fell around his face as he hung his head downwards.

Our owner walked between where I stood, frozen with fear, and where Isa was felled. "We have a guest coming... you must behave, or there WILL be consequences."
