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

serious?! You really did not just do that. I can't believe you!"
"Well believe it. Babe." He licked my muzzle and shifted back. I got off of him and shifter, too.
"Let's get this over with."
"Wait, my victory kiss?"
"Oh. Sorry." He walked over to me and kissed me.
"Oh yeah! HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA." I said in a little kid's voice.
"Yeah, yeah." He walked into the hallway and started running.
"I LIKE PRETTY UNICORNS!!! I LIKE PRETTY UNICORNS!!!" Over and over again. All of the guys came out, and looked at him as if he were a clown on crack riding a shoe. One even yelled "Trever's gone LOCO!" I laughed to find that it was Onyx who had said it. I looked at him, and he gave me a thumbs up. I smiled at him and nodded. I wasn't paying attention, so i tripped over one boy's foot. I caught myself with a full on handspring.
"Oops, sorry. And your moves are wicked. " He said.
"It's okay. I'll get you later. Micheal." He was only 15, so i'll go easy on him.
I heard another boy say "Alright, Mike." I turned torwards them both and gave a crazy grin.
"Oh, you wanna lesson, too. Huh Jace? I'll take on the both of you. 6:30." And Jace is also 15, so they'll be easy to go through. When i turned back to leave, i heard Jace squel because Micheal punched him. "See man, you got an earliar date for us to get our ass kicked!"
"Yep, he sure did!" I called over my shoulder.
Chapter 4: Due Dates

It was 6:30 p.m, and i was outside of the house with Jace and Micheal. I looked into each of their eyes and saw bravery with a hint of terror. (Jace had bright blue eyes, and Micheal had bright teal eyes.) I changed from my shirt to an all black tank-top, my pants into black shorts, and my shoes to black 'Jordans'.

"So Micheal, want to trip me?" I asked him.
"No. It was an accident." He said it as if he were about to pee on himself.
"Well, since it was, i'll go easy on you. And Jace, you want to be Mr. Goofball, huh?"
"Yup. It's what i do. I make things funnier. But in this case, worse."
"Okay, shift. And are we doing tag-team? Or am i takeing out the both of you?"
"Uh. Jace?" Micheal turned and said to Jace.
"We'll double team you. It may work." Jace said with a hint of doubt. I shifted, and Jace followed my actions. Then Micheal mimiced Jace.
"Let's get this over with." i sent out to them. Jace (a brownish-black wolf) lunged at my right paw. I jumped out of the way, and bit down on his ruff. I shook him, and then let go. Tossing him a good 7 yards. Next was Micheal (an all black wolf). We squared each other off, and then he tackled me. He was surprisingly strong, so i had to buck and wiggle to get out from under him. I bit down on his exposed chest. He howled and then bit my ear. I growled, and hit him in the side of the head with my muzzle. I heard a cracking sound and snapped my jaws to make sure they were okay. And Micheal was swooned, so it caused him to stumble off of me. I leaped up, just to get rammed by Jace. His speed was amazing! I had to take a second to let what just occured to sink into my brain. He launched directly at my throat, just to get bit on his belly. He made the mistake of jumpping to high, and his belly was visible. He yelped and fell limp to the ground. Micheal charged me, and hit me in the ribs. Hard. I skidded on the ground, and stalked him.
"You're strong, kiddo." I sent out to him.
"Thanks." He sent back. I heard Jace starting towards me, so i abruptedly turned around, and leaped up. He was trying to sucker bite me! But he rammed directly into Micheal. I shifted back and said "Come on. I'll tell you about your do's, and don'ts." They shifted, and either one took up a space beside me.
"So, Jace. Your speed is spectacular. You're also great at recovering very fast. But, you need to watch where you are going. You hit Micheal hard. It's okay though, he needed it."
"Thanks, Lani." Said Jace.
"And Micheal, your strength. It is excelent. Your stalking and squaring off skills, outragously good. But, you need to watch all sides of you. The same with you Jace."
"I know. Trever tells me the same thing. Thanks though." We walked into the house, and i found Trever and Leo arm wrestling. All of the guys watching them. 'Wow, kids on the inside, monsters on the out side' I thought.
"Hey guys." I said.
"Hey, Lani." They all said, except Trever. He said " Hey, Babe."
I walked up to my room, and found one of the guys on my bed.
"Uh, Blake? Why are you in my room?" Blake is the same age as me, but twice as big.
"I gotta tell you something, but you gotta keep it a secrect. Okay?"
"Yeah, what is it?" I asked and sat down next to him.
"You know that you're the second female, right?"
"Yup, what 'bout it?"
"Trever killed the first."
"Why?"
"She tried to take over the pack and turn them so that they would kill Trever. He didn't want to kill her, but she was crazy. Her eyes were red also, but blazed with hatred and rage. I just wanted to tell you this 'cause i wanted you to know that none of us think you're like her. And that we will never betray you. 'Kay?"
"Yeah... cool and, uh, thanks. And i'm nothing like her. What was her name?"
"Keket."
"Oh.My.God. You guys are idiots! Her name means 'Goddess of Darkness' in Egyptian!"
"Yeah, we figured that out after the fact. Well, i'm leaving. But thanks."
"No prob. See ya. And if you need anything else, just call, or howl."
"Will do" He said as he left. As he left, i began to change into my night clothes, consisting of lose black and pink pants, and a tee-shirt that says "My Cupcake!" But as i pick up my shirt, Trever walks in. "Hey,uh, i have... Woah. Didn't see anything!" He announced.
"Yeah, yeah. Come in." I put on my shirt and sat on the rug.
"Well, i have the money that was in your bank account. You pretty much don't need a job, i guess. Anyways, you have 17,859 dollars exactly. Here." He hands me an envelope, I open it and find a stack of hundred dollar bills, a fifty, and 9 dollar bills.
"Thanks. I can buy food, clothes, and games for you guys. We're all going to the mall tomorrow."
"Yeah, about that. See, people will recognize you. So you can't."
"No, they won't. I dyed my hair black, i'm more thicker than i used to be, and i'm way taller."
"Lani, i hate to break it to ya, but you've only grown 3 feet. Not that tall." He says with a sly grin.
"Shut up! You are mean." I say as i smack him playfully on the arm.
"Oh, i know you didn't just hit me." He says as he tackles me to the floor. We roll around a bit, and then end up chasing each outher around the house. The guys started making bets on whether he would catch me, or i'd lose him. And the ones who bet on him catching me lost sadly. I lost him on the way back up to my room. I hid on the outside of my window ledge.
"I can smell you Lani." Called Trever.
"You're creepy," I called back in the same voice he used.
"Gotcha!" He screamed as he poked his head out my window. It scared me, so i ended up jummping and losing my footing on the ledge. I almost fall 45 feet to the cold concrete, but Trever catches my hand. As he starts to pull me up, i feel something penetrate my back. I roared with pain as Trever pulled me up. He lied me on my stomach and pulled out what felt like a knife. As i began to heal, i sat up and looked at what Trever had in his hand. It was an arrow!

"What the hell?! Why was there an arrow in my back?"
"They're here." He says to me in a low voice.
"Who's here?"
"The hunters. They found us." I got up and shifted into my wolf. I ran down to the living room, and howled. But this particular howl meant either kill, victory, or danger. In this case, danger, and a little bit of distress. All of the guys ran down. Some already shifted. When the guys in human form saw me, they instantly shifted.
"The hunters are here. Be alert, watch each others' backs, and be safe. Trever will instruct you."
"Okay. Midnight wolves, stations. Dusk, ultimate. Day, stations."
"What are the names for?" I asked as all of them began to retreat.
"Midnight means the black wolves. They're the strongest ones, like Micheal. The Dusk ones are the brownish-black ones. They're the fastest, like Jace. And the Day ones are the tan wolves. They have very accute hearing, and can pick up an ant's heartbeat from a mile away, like Leo. It doesn't apply to alpha's because we are at the top of every ability. So don't worry."
"'Kay, now can we rip apart some hunters?!" I screamed with anticipation.
"Yeah. Let's go."

Chapter 5: Friends or Foes

When all of the guys came back, we ran out to the front of the house. Trever and i tested the air, to our surprise there were 13 hunters in the trees, 5 on top of the house, and 19 surrounding us. We were outnumbered by 6. But we have strength in packs, so we should be fine. I hope. I smelled the air again, and found a recognizable scent. Bryn's! She's one of them?

I thought. I decided to call out her name. "BRYN?!"
"Shut up!" Trever said in a harsh whisper.
"No, my friend is here."
"Your friend is a hunter! Now hush, please." I walked off of the porch. And wouldn't you know it, a spray of arrows came from every direction. I caught about 10, but got hit 3 times. Once in my thigh, and twice in my shoulder. I growled, and shifted. But not into the animal, but into the 'Beast'

. The 'Beast'

is basically larger, faster, and deadliar than the animal. And i can't get hit as easily.
