   It has been a long time since I've written in this journal, but I have no where else to let this out: I don't know how much longer I can hide my secret. It's getting harder and harder to control this wolf and hide this thing - this beast - from my parents and my best friends. I cannot let them know what kind of monster I am! I did some digging around online, but the only thing I ever find is that an article from that damned day. I don't want to remember what happened to me, but its all I'm ever reminded of.

"By day, a person like any other. They are loved by few, hated by more, and irrelevant to the rest. Wanted for their agility and strength, their skill and determination. They are well liked for their courage and self-respect. They are judged for their behaviors and looks. However, this did not stop the sun from loving these people - as they loved the sun in return.

By night, however, these people turn into a murderous beast. Sharp fangs and claws of a vicious animal, taking on the appearance of a large wolf. Gaining unhuman-like strength and speed, being able to hear a twig snap from miles away. These beasts are hunted by many and worshipped by few. A creature from the Gates of Hell. The descendants of the Guardian of the Underworld. A shapeshifter, a monster, a fiend, a killer. The moon and stars loved these monsters, but they couldn't love them in return because they were not themselves in those dark hours. This was these people's curse, sin, and nightmare - for they were being punished by Fate. Why? These cursed souls may never learn why."


   This sounds like something that should be the plot to a movie, but it's just a piece of writing that I found while doing my research. I found a few links leading to a Nao Class called "Lycanthropes", but each time I clicked the link it would lead me to a 404 ERR page. I'm hoping I'll learn what I am next year when I'm a Junior. For now, I have to keep my secret hidden. No one must know, I can't imagine what would happen if people found out that I'm some kind of monster.
