Apocalyptic Moon

Chapter 1

My name is Alize Maldonado and I am close to death. I can feel my heart pumping and can see my intestines spilling out of my ribs as I lay on the cold hard cement with dozens of civilians watching and blood everywhere. (6 months earlier)... I was just a 15 year old boy in 10th grade trying to pass classes like anyone else with common sense and usually hanged out with my two best friends Jesus Cordova,Julian Zaragoza. On October 14'th I was just sitting next to Jesus waiting for my crush to come in to the lunch room. I also started to talk about my feelings for her and when she comes in I would ask her to the halloween dance, and wouldn't you know it she comes in. I approach her and ask,"Hey Stefany." she replies, "Hi Alize, how are you?" I also reply," Great! But I would like to ask you a question." "What is it?" she asks me as she starts to blush and get closer."Would you go to the Halloween dance with me? You know as my date?" I said this in a firm tone to make sure she gets the point as she finally says,"Oh... that's it? And yes I would really want to be your date to Halloween dance." I am just about to roar in happiness until I seen her looking into my eyes in a way that makes me skip a heartbeat. After lunch ended I said goodbye to her and went to my daily classes like usual. After a couple weeks the dance was ready, and it was the night of the dance also. I wait for her to come to the school football field and start talking to myself," It's 7:21 where could she be? I don't know... wait do I hear something?!" I look around to see where the ferocious sounds are coming from and see something I thought I would never see in my life. My heart is pounding in fear as I watch the white werewolf walk up to me on his long hind legs growling with foam in his mouth. I start to slowly back up and as the beast follows I realize he doesn't see the torn part of the fence. I run towards the fence with all the speed I can conquer up as I hear the beast running behind me catching up with ease. I'm just about to make it and quickly say to myself, "Don't give up now... I make it but the beast scratches my back as I slide through. I hear him roaring in anger as I run away in fear with a torn shirt, I make it to the front of the school and see Stefany waiting for me I look at my phone and see it is 7:47 and see that my black vest is still on the steps where i first waited for her. I started to be stealthful because I did not want her to freak out with my blood splattered over my back, so I grabbed my vest and put it on than she seen me, " Well it's nice to know that I won't have to dance alone tonight." She tells me as I walk up. And then my friends see us outside in their halloween costumes, They all say, "Wow Alize that is awesome blood on your shirt! So what are you suppose to be a zombie?"Even though I was scared out of my mind from what had just happened I still felt enough energy to at least play along with them and say that I got the fake blood and cheap shirt from Walmart.And as the night progressed I dance with Stefany. We went in and sat down at a table for an hour and talked until I heard a slow dance song come on. Stefany and I danced through the night while I was still in pain but I enjoyed every minute with her. After the dance was over I walked her home and went to my house to find that everything was getting dizzy and I was scared of what was happening. I rush to my room but my body gives up and falls on my bed and goes to sleep. I wake up at 12pm for some odd reason as i feel more energized than I ever had before. I remember what have happened last night and rush to the mirror! I check my back for scars and see 4 claw marks a inch thick in my back. I guess that I will have ugly scars there for the rest of my life, but I just got dressed and went about my day. As the weeks passed I noticed my muscles getting bigger and see that I became a bit more hairy than usual, also that my scratches healed like nothing has happened to me! By the 3rd week I am more built than most men in the city which I am roughly half their age! Another dance was coming in about two days so I had another opportunity to ask to the dance, so during lunch I find her and walk up with ease and smooth confidence. "Hi Stefany, I would love to take you to the thanksgiving dance, so I was wondering if you would like to go?" She fiddles around in her seat and smile than looks me in the eyes and with the most gentle voice, "Sorry Alize i'm already going with Julian." As I hear the news my face expressions darken and my smile fades away. I say, "sorry for asking." and leave her alone with her friends. I feel sad the last days before the dance and before I leave to it with Jesus so he didn't feel alone I listen to the news saying that the full moon tonight is gonna look as beautiful as always and be a calm night. By the time we get there I see Stefany holding Julian's hands and talking to him. I quickly check the time and see that it is 7pm, than i enjoy the last 25 minutes before I started to feel really hot. I tell Jesus that I have to go outside and get some cold fresh air, but he also says that he had a family emergency and had to leave. So then I leave through the schools back exit doors and tread into the football field where I seen the beast at least a month ago. I check my phone and see that it is 7:29 and then start to burn up a bit so I take my vest off until the time hit 7:30! As soon as the hand hit the time I feel like someone is boiling my blood in the sun and if my bones were constantly breaking! I scream at the top of  my lungs in pain confused at what is happening to me and start tearing off my clothes and oddly it is really easy. I fall on my knees and watch as my hands grow longer and my flesh start turning grey with black fur growing everywhere. I see my nails shatter as new sharp black ones grow out of my fingertips and the same with my toes! I feel my bones moving and morphing as my heels grow at least a foot longer, than I feel my face break and shatter! I am roaring in pain, than hear my voice gets demonic like and hear growling within every scream. Than I feel as my new snout starts to grow longer and feel all my teeth grow longer and sharper, i also blink and instantly my eyes change from a dark brown iris into green glowing eyes that give my vision better than any human or animal! I feel my ears grow pointy and see that i can no longer feel pain and feel like i'm losing consciousness and feel like I am losing myself. I think about what has happened and why it happened until...until... HUNGER!!!!
