Melanie- The Full Moon (ON HOLD)

What, is going on?- Chapter 3

I tried to stand. But my legs are too weak. And I crumble back onto the ground. My body feels weird.

I'm warm all over but its comforting. My eyes can see everything. I can smell and hear from miles away. I think its safe to say I feel great! All though it is somewhat nerve wrecking. But yet these weird improvements feel so right.

I lift my head and take a look around. Im still about half way down this mans house. I stand to stand up again. But this time I have no problem. My legs feel way stronger than usual. Usually my legs are weak as hell. With me being a little under weight I've always been the smallest in the family and at school. Even though im acually pretty tall, standing at 5'4. They still pick on me.

And Kevin always happens to be close by and becomes knight in shining armor. I've always hated that. But then somehow I don't mind. It's like something or someone understands why he's doing what's he doing. So I don't say anything. But I dont know what's so worng with me. I mean, yeah, I'm the only one, besides my twin brother, with full long wavy jet black hair and dark emerald green eyes. Oh, I forgot to mention Kevin and I are twins. Yup. We are.

Uncle Daren tells me the reason he acts so wierd is because he's worried about me because of the accident. Even though that was eight years ago. Whatever.

I start to walk slowly to the side of the house where I heard Ruby whimper. As I'm about to turn the corner of the house. Something caught my eye refecting in the window. I stop in my tracks. Did I really just see what I think I saw? Afraid to look back. I slowly move my head back to the window.

Oh. My. Gosh.

Am I dreaming? What? This can't be me. I cock my head to one side to the other studying what appers to be my reflection. I squeez my eyes shut and shake my head, still hoping this is all a dream. I open my eyes again only to be smacked in the face my reality. I exhale heavily, taking a few steps back away from the window. What im seeing is a big, no huge, wolf? It copies every move I make. Am I that wolf? It's fur is jet black, just like mine. And its eyes are a dark emerald green. Just. Like. Mine. I'm so taken aback. I can't even think straight.

Damnit Kevin. Why didn't you tell me about this? I start to get really angry at the thought that he'd hid this from me. Then I hear another whimper. I see Ruby and two other wolves. One is white as snow. And the other looks just like me, with jet black fur, which is standing by Ruby's side. As if he's protecting her. The white wolf isn't as big as the black one. The black one probably is as big as I am. The white one is a little bigger than Ruby though. She's pretty small. The one that looks like me and Ruby have there backs facing me so I don't think they've notice my presence yet. The white one is trying to get to Ruby and is throwing it's paws at her but the black wolf would get in his way from getting to her.

My anger has turned into uncontrollable rage. I catch a smell of something that smells so familiar, but I can't make out why or what it was. As the white wolf try's to snap at Ruby again my legs start to move on there own accord. I feel my eyes change color as my anger turns into rage. I jump over Ruby and the wolf that looks just like me and land right in front of the small white wolf. I stare him down as I let out a low growl telling him to leave. He stands there staring at me with both fear and confusion in his eyes. I'm way bigger than he is so I make sure he knows that I'm not messing around and that he's and easy kill for me. I've never killed before and I don't really want to start, but if someone I care about that is in danger, I'll do anything to keep them safe. I keep eye contact and growl again louder and lower than earlier this time and show my teeth as I take a small step forward. He cowars and turns around, jumps over the fence and runs off into the woods. I watch him as he runs off until he's out of sight.

I turn around, forgetting about the other wolf that looks like me, not sensing he's causing any harm and walk over to Ruby.

I nuzzle my head into her neck lightly releasing an affectionate high-pitch whimper, asking her if she's okay. She nuzzles me back and growls lightly telling me that she's fine. I search her for any wounds and find a few deep cuts and bite marks bleeding on her hind legs and side. I growl in hatred at the wounds that the white wolf had caused. Maybe I should have killed him. They better heal quickly and not add to any more of the scares on her as there already is from where we found her. As if reading my mind she lies down and starts to lick her wounds.

"Melanie?"

I snapped my head to the direction I heard my name being called from, distracting me from watching Ruby tend to her wounds. It came from the other wolf that looks like me. He slowly walking towards me, studying me.

That familar sent filled my nose again. It was stronger this time. And suddenly I rememeber why the sent is so familiar. Don't ask me how I knew I just did.

"Kevin."
