Saint Tail: A Werewolf's Heart

3. The Next Murders

Seira was in her room watching the news. "And now we have the latest news from the murders that looked like a wolf-like creature. Police suspected foul play, but as more bodies poured up, they will check to see if anyone has seen the creature." The female news annoncer said. Seira quickly turned off the T.V. She sighed. The Sister came in the room and sat by Seira.

"Hey, Seira." She says, hugging Seira. Seira accepted the hug. "You know you're adopted, right?" She asked gently. Seira slightly moved.

"Yes. I knew. I don't look like you but my friends seem to think so." Seira said.

"Except your best friend." The Sister says, ruffling Seira's hair. Seira looked wide-eyed.

"Mom!" Seira cried. "Do you know what it is like to have someone protecting you? Truthfully, I remember the first time we met." Seira told the Sister. The Sister sighed gently and moved Seira to her lap. The Sister put her hands on her shoulders to balance Seira.

"Seira. It's Meimi. I think that bite is causing her to transform and kill all those people. She doesn't know it, but the full moon is affecting her a lot more." The Sister explained to Seira. Seira started to shiver. Not from the cold but from fear. I knew it. That's why she's easily angry all the time now. Seira thought.

"Now, Seira, don't look like that. Meimi is your best friend and I expect you to tell her." The Sister tells Seira. Seira shooked her head back and forth. No, no, No! She might lose controll! Seira thought.

"I can't. She might kill me." Seira told the Sister. The Sister gasped and tightened her grip on Seira's shoulders. Seira whimpered in pain. The Sister relexed her grasp on Seira's shoulders.

"She won't hurt you. She can't hurt you. You mean too much to her." The Sister explained to Seira. Seira gasped.

"That much." Seira says, shocked. The Sister nodded her head.

"Meimi want to give you something so when she does transforms, she won't attack you." The Sister explained to Seira. Seira nodded her head in understanding. The Sister sighed in relief.

"Okay. When does she wants to give it to me?" Seira asked. The Sister let an "uh-oh" slip from her mouth. "Mom! The play is about 2 weeks away!" Seira panicked.

"She can and will figured it out by maybe 1 week. Give her time. She might make or buy a necklace." The Sister tells Seira. Seira nodded her head.

Meimi was trying to keep from transforming, but she did anyway. She growled and hunted some more people. When she got back home, Eimi had a herbal bath going again. "Sorry, Mom." Meimi says. Eimi shook her head.

"Don't be. You were bitten by a werewolf." Eimi tells Meimi. Meimi sighed.

"Mom, can you help me with finding something for Seira?" Meimi asked.

"You mean, a necklace of some sort?" Eimi asked.

"Yes. I really don't want to attack her on the night of the play." Meimi says, thinking about her best friend's happy facade, which she and her parents knew that Seira was faking. Eimi agreed to help Meimi and Meimi slept that night, without transforming, but she did get some wolf like features.

This is it! The next chapter will be about the full moon.
