TRANSCENDENTAL. (The remake!)

Blue moon.

"Blue moon, you saw me standing alone, without a care-"
Anthony groaned as he sat up, looking down to his legs to see that there was gashes all over them.
Blood all over his pants as he tries to remember what happened.
He turned his head as he saw a radio playing, it kept playing the same song over and over again, causing Anthony to groan.
"blue moon, now that I am no longer alone..."
He looks over to see Lena, coughing a bit as she rubbed the back of her head.
"Lena-!"
"Anthony! You're okay! I thought you were done for!!"
"what happened..?"
Anthony says, coughing a bit as he tried to touch his face.
He gasped a bit as pain struck his nose, then he felt it.
There was a HUGE gash, opening his nose, as blood dripped from it.

"you don't remember..?"

Lena and Anthony burst through the door to the cabin, they took their guns out as they turned their flashlight on.
Scoping out the place, they didn't find the creature they were looking for.
The heard the crunching of leaves running around the house as they turn their bodies around to the noises, trying to keep a steady aim to kill the monster.

He busted the window open as he jumps in, grabbing Lena by the throat and throwing her across the room, which caused Anthony to start shooting his gun.
The werewolf speed walks to Anthony as he kept his eyes wide, stepping back as she shot over and over again.. This wasn't their normal werewolf, this one looked like the ones in movies.
The fur.
Teeth.
Ears.
Tail.
The whole deal.

Anthony shot again, but nothing.. He had no more ammo, and he didn't shoot it's heart.
He let's out a growl of frustration as he grabs his pocket knife and starts stabbing the wolf over and over again, yelling in the process as blood covered his body.
The wolf growls, grabbing Anthony in a tight hold as he grabs lena as well, then he walks out to the forest, deep in the woods hoping that they would be long gone or dead.
He tossed Lena aside as Anthony punched the wolf, spitting in his face, the werewolf looked to ant and then slammed him into the ground, walking away as Anthony passed out.
From what he could remember, the man's items were all over the place.
A radio, a table, chairs, a broken TV.
The radio was switched to a song as it broke, playing the song in repeat.

"blue moon, you saw me standing alone. Without a-"

"I remember."
Anthony groans as he gets up, helping Lena stand a bit as they limp over, getting to the cabin, checking to see if anyone's in there.
No one was there.
They limped to their car as they get in, but Lena expected Anthony to drive, and he didn't, he reached back to find something, grabbing a first aid kid and some alcohol, flipping something down as a mirror showed up.
"What are you doing?"
"I don't have money to pay for this getting stitched up, so I do it myself. Let me know if you got some too."

Lena hums as Anthony took out a needle and thread, stitching his nose up as he winched, his face getting scrunched up as he inhales sharply.
He finishes with it as Lena pokes him, showing Ant the gash on her arm as he washes the needle, getting closer to her as he looks up at Lena.
"Are you okay with this?"
"yes. Just hurry up before I change my mind."
Anthony nodded, stitching her up as she let out a yell, grabbing Anthonys shirt tight.
Anthony put his hand out as she held it, tightly, not letting go.
"Almost done.."
Anthony half whispered, finishing up as he grabs a bandage, patching it over the stitches so nothing gets through it or on it.

"How do you even get used to that."
"I don't know, me and dad used to get hurt a lot, so after a while, I just had to get used to it."
Ant shrugs as he starts the car, going to the motel they had as they walked in.
"That's a pain in the ass, we literally had him in our tracks!"
"It's okay, ant, we'll get him."
"I know.. You're right."
Anthony sighs, sitting down as they hear a knock.
Anthony takes his gun out as Lena sits up, Anthony goes to the door, opening it as his gun was behind his back, he was met with a man he didn't know, he raised his eyebrow as he kept the door cracked open, not fully open, then the man bursts through the door as he closed it.
"Listen.. I know what you are."
The man says as Anthony had his gun up to him already.

"Who the hell are you?!"
Anthony says as Lena grabs her gun, getting behind Anthony as she exhales slowly.
"I'm.. I'm the werewolf you decided to mangle up."
"Prove it."
The man lowers his hands slowly as he grabs the collar of his shirt, pulling it down as Anthony looks in, seeing the scars all over his chest.. The ones he made with nothing more than his pocket knife.
"Well.. You're killing people, you're not getting redemption."
Anthony says, lifting his gun as the man puts his hands up in defense again.

"No no no, I'm not here to be forgiven.. Not by words.."
Anthony raised his eyebrow as he looks to the man, the horrible realization hit him hardly in the gut as his eyes widened and his face went pale, he lowered his gun slowly as Lena looked to him.
"What's wrong..?"
"Lena.."
"Anthony, tell me."
"He wants us to kill him, because he's killed people and he can't control it.. He wants us to kill him willingly, unlike many other monsters."
Anthony gulped a bit as he looked to the man.
"No.. Rephrase. He's not a monster, he's a good man, for realizing his wrongs."

Anthony took the man out to the woods where the cabin was, walking out as Lena stayed in the car, playing with her hair to keep her distracted from it.
The man started crying as he sniffed.
"What's your name?"
"Murphy.. Murphy white.."
"I'm Anthony.."
"Thank you, Anthony.."
"No problem.. You're a good man.. Now just turn around Murphy.. Look at the ground, count the grass or flowers."
"1..2..3..4..5...6....7-"
BANG!!
Anthony jumped a bit as blood splatted on his face, then he put his gun away, speed walking away as he goes in the car, slamming the door as he sighs, looking away.
"DAMMIT!"
Anthony slammed on the wheel as he yelled out, then Lena jumped.
"What? You got him.."
"I know I know... It's just.. He seemed like a good man, and I just.. It hurts to do that.."

Anthony looked down as he started the car, driving away as the streetlights shone through the car windows, Anthony looking up at the sky every now and then, admiring the stars to calm him down as Lena slowly started to go to sleep, leaning her head down.
Anthony reached to the back when he hit a red light, grabbing a blanket and his jacket so she could use it for a pillow.
He reached a field as he sighed, leaving the car as he layed on the hood, looking to the sky smiling a bit.
"At the end of the day, I can still see the stars."

"At least they stayed."
