Red Moon Curse - Brynnaiza Young (good books for high schoolers .txt) 📗

"Bryn!" I called out. "Help me! Somebody, please help me!" I'm lost. I'm scared. I'm hurt. All i wanted to do was go out to meet my boyfriend, Onyx. I hardly ever walk this far. But it was a clear, blue night. The full moon was out, and i could feel its beauty and warmth. Next thing i know, my friend Bryn is gone, and i'm lying on the cold, hard ground with burning wounds. I can feel the flies and bugs already feeding on my flesh. Am i awake? I do not know. Will i survive? I doubt it. No one is here exept me. And whatever attacked me is still lurking in the near woods. The beast had peircing grey eyes, terribly long fangs, and a menacing growl. If you asked me to try and guess this creature, it would most likely be a wolf. But why would it attack me? I have no clue. All i can do is think about whether i will live to see the sun. And physically, all i can do is scream out for help so i try, and try, and try some more.

"Help! I'm bleeding, and i've been severely attacked!" I hear mumbling in the far distance. Though i can not make out what they are saying, i hear one faint word, attack. I instantly think oh no, this can't be happening again. I try to inch along the ground on my stomach, but fail to as my cuts scream with agonizing pain. I scream out again "Help! I'm dying!" Again, i hear the voices. Am i going crazy? No, i am not. I soon begin to hear footsteps coming towards me. I feel relieved, yet terrified.

"Can you hear me, Lani?"
"Yes, who are you?" I reply to the mystery man's voice.
"I am a friend, and once I have you in protection, I will tell you everything."
"P-p-pl..." I stammer, but lose conciousness.

When i finally wake up, i see that i am in a house. A huge house, and it's not my own. I start to wonder how i got here until the door creaked open. I became extremly scared. A man's head poked through and asked me was i okay.

"Y-y- yes. Who are you?"
"I am Trever. I was the one who helped you last night."
"You were the one who found me when i got attacked?"
"Yes. My brother Kyle was also helping you."
"You said you were going to tell me everything that had happened. Right? Oh, and thank you. You can come in, if you'de like."
"Yes, i said that. And i will explain as soon as you get some clothes on." I looked under the covers to find that i was completely naked.
"OhMyGod. Did you take my clothes? What the hell did you do to me?!"
"No. Not at all. We fixed your wounds. Now please get dressed." I got on a pair of Levi shorts, a red tiger shirt, and a pair of red Nikes.

"Okay, i'm dressed," I informed Trever. I rolled my eyes in my mind. Informing a guy i don't even know felt strange.
 "Okay. Great." He came in and i was completely mesmerized. He was well built, about 23, at least 6'0, and his eyes. They were a beautiful grey. The same grey that the beast that had attacked me had. I don't know why i had the urge to attack him, but i did. I had to control myself, so i clamped down on the inside of my cheek. Hard.

I started out with a waterfall of questions. "So, um, why am i here? And what the hell attacked me? Oh, and how do you know my name?"
"You see, Lani, what attacked you was not an animal. I mean it was, but it wasn't. It was, um, how do i put this without you thinking i'm crazy? Okay, i know. Follow me."
"'Kay." Again, i rolled my eyes.     I followed Trever down 3 flights of marble stairs. As we went down, i saw multiple paintings of wolves, moons, and brightly colored eyes. I thought Wow, this guy has got some issues. When we reached the bottom of the stair case, i saw 2 rooms filled with guys, ages 13 to probably 26. I thought again Issues...BIG time.
 "Kyle! Where are you?" Trever called out. I remebered him telling me about his brother, Kyle.
"Here, Trev. What's up?" Asked a guy who i guessed was Kyle. He and Trever looked exactly alike. He was probably 19 or so, probably 6'0, well built like Trever, and his eyes. They were also grey. But not as deep and bright as Trever's.
"Remeber Lani?" Asked Trever
"Yes." Kyle said in a sad and shocked sort of way.
I waved shyly and said "Hiya."
He waved back and said "Hey."
"Lani, Kyle attacked you last night." Trever told me.
"W-w-what? I don't know what the hell you think i am, but i am not dumb. And what attacked me was a wolf, not a human."
"No, it is true, Lani. I attacked you because i thought of you as a threat." Kyle informed me.
I turned to leave, but Trever grabbed me. I don't know what had happened, but i started to see my hands form into paws. Trever let go of me, and it stopped. I had no choice but to think that this was all just a nightmare, and i was never getting out.

"Lani, look at me." Trever told me. I turned towards him, and looked up at him. He's like 6'0 and i'm only 5'8, so i literally had crane my neck to look up.
"What! I want to go home. Now!"
"You can't go home. I have to tell you about what you are. Please Lani, Listen to me." He pleaded.
"Fine," I scolded as I crossed my arms defiantly.
"Okay, Kyle. Show her what you did."
"Trever. Please don't make me shift."
"Do it. Now!" Trever growled. But it wasn't a sound that I would place in category human. It was deep and animalistic.
      "Fine!" Kyle yelled in aggrivation. As i started to back away, i saw Kyle start to grow larger. His hands turned into giant paws, his nails turning into claws. And his face; It enlongated into a muzzle. The fangs grew up and down, coming from underneath his snout. The last part of the transformation was his tail. It was shaggy and at least 5 feet in length. I yipped in horror at the pitch black beast standing before me. And, the sight of his eyes in his black form. So bright and out-standingly scary.
"No! Kyle you idiot! Not that one! The animal. Ugh, god, you are so dumb."
I screamed so loud all of the men in the 2 rooms came running out.
"What happened?" One of them asked.
"What the hell is a female doing here?" Another scoffed.
"She's HOT!" Said a kid about 14. I blushed, even though i'm 20. Trever turned toward the kid and said "Jake, talk to her like that again, and i will shred you like you're paper in a garbage disposel. Get it?"
"Yes, Trever. I'm sorry." Said the kid, Jake.
"Okay all of you. Go back into your little worlds. She's fine." As they all retreated, i turned and ran out of the house. I ran, and ran, and ran. I heard up coming footsteps behind me and quickened my pace.
"Lani! Come back! You need us! I need you!" I heard Trever scream after me. I almost tripped and fell. But i caught myself. Thank you gymnastics, I mentally praised.
"No! You're crazy!" As i ran, i got tackled. Hard.
"Ahhh! Get. Off. Of. Me!" I yelled. As i looked up, i saw a silver-ish colored wolf. I began to feel all weird and crazed again. My hands starting to look like black paws. It wouldn't stop this time. I began to see more of myself change. It kept on going until i literally saw myself in the eyes of a wolf.
"Lani. Can you hear me?" A voice asked me.
"Where are you? Who are you? What am i!" I thought wildly.
"It's me, Trever. I'm right here. And you're a lycan. And cool! You're black."
"A what?"
"A werewolf, Lani. A werewolf."
"No, i'm not. Get the freak off of me!" When Trever leaped off of me, i tackled him. I soon noticed that they were not lying. I really had become a werewolf. But i did not want to believe it.
"What the hell kind of spell did you put on me? Why am i an animal? A beast?!" I shreeked.
"You're not a beast, Lani. You're one of us. And it's a curse that is transfored through another lycan's bite on the full moon."
"But, why me? I didn't do anything."
"I know. But it was Kyle. He was only 17 when i changed him, so he's still a kid inside. And i just turned him a century ago, so he's still learning. But when he attacked you, it was a good thing because since you've become the first female lycan in over 6 decades, you're an alpha. Like me." He licked the underside of my jaw, and i leaped up from him. I sent out a thought to Trever " Why'd you lick me? From what i know from animal communication, that's a way of saying... I like you."
"Yeah, i guess so." As Trever shifted back, i looked up at him with confusion. He must have read my mind because he said " Think of the most happiest thing that's ever happened to you. Oh, think of wearing clothes, too. You can't think of wearing something that you don't own." He winked at me then turned around. In case i forgot. I thought about Onyx, and a pair of black denim jeans, a red scull shirt, and a pair of black high top boots. And it worked! I changed just by thinking of it! Wow, this was going to be great.

"'Kay. I'm done." Trever turned around and went wide-eyed.
"Woah. Hot much?" I blushed and he laughed.
"I have a boyfriend, and a family. What am i going to do?"
"Nothing, you can't go back anymore. You're features have changed, and you're life. And Onyx, he knows already. And he understands."
"My features? What do you mean? And what does Onxy know? How do you know Onxy?"
"Lani, you know how my eyes are very bright? Well, it's because i'm a werewolf. You've become, uh, thicker. You're not fat at all, just more muscely and bulky. It's hot if you ask me. And Onxy is a also a lycan."
" Hey! And eww, you mean to tell me i'm like all buff? Any way what color are mine? And he is? Where is he?"
"Um, don't freak out, but they're red. And he's in his room."
"Red!! No, no, no, no, No! Red?! Why?! I really am a monster." I cried. Trever came over and wrapped his arms around me. "Shhh, no you're not. You're an alpha, and i think it's hot. You want me to change it?"
I looked up at him. He smiled, and i laughed. His teeth were perfectly white. Including his 5 inch canines.
"Please? And why are your teeth so long? How do you keep them hiden?"
"Um, they only grow after i've changed from a wolf. In about 2 minutes, they'll be back to normal. As will yours."
"Huh?" I touched my teeth, and felt fangs. They were longer then Trever's!
"Oh. Why are they longer than yours? And... sharper?"
"Your the
