Goddess Bound

A walk in the park

I yawn and stretch my limbs the fog in my mind heavy as I arch my back a bit trying to ease the dull aching. I blink a few times clearing my vision. I think to my self tiredly as I glance at my best friend Maria, still sleeping peacefully on the couch. " Ah we must have fallen asleep before we could finish the movie." I get up collecting my things. I look at her clock hanging on the wall next to her flat screen tv 4:00pm it reads. I think to myself once more.
" Better get going, I want to go for a walk near the park anyway."  I walk to the door making a mental note to text her later since I didn't feel like waking her up to tell her i'm leaving. I walk out of her apartment shutting the door quietly as not to wake her. I gingerly stride down the hall and down the stairs to the exit of the building. I walk outside my feet crunching the leaves on the pavement. The wind is cold as I heave in and icey breath. " hmm it's not as cold as yesterday was." I make a mental note to myself as I make my way to the park walking in the direction of Hyena's coffee shop but making a left turn at the street before the shop. I walk to the entrance of the park I hear music as I walk in the dead grass toward a canopy and bench nearby listening to the music. " oh no... Their singing about the moon goddess, that's just great. I can tell by looking at the four of these people in this band that they must be humans their features aren't a dominant or sharp looking as a wolfs." I mentally cringe at the words of the song no doubt they will offend the were wolves they must be out of their minds.

Lyrics of song:

Dear God of the moon we call to you

in sorrow come  for us in our time of
need.

The world is filled with hatred and greed.

The world fades into grey oh what part do we play in this twisted game.

Is this all a charade in this world of grey.

Every one fades away.

Every one fades as the world keeps going.

Will we be the ones stuck never knowing

what happens after death.

When we take our last breath.

The world fades to grey and every one fades away.

Dear God of the moon don't leave us soon
We praise to you in sorrow let us all see tommorow.

End of song lyrics.

The singer's voice spouts out a lovely melody her voice is quite calming despite the song being kind of stupid. Before she can continue a were wolf decides to disrupt the song entirely. The were wolf is an elderly wolf his short white hair blowing in the wind. And his peiricing red eyes fixed on the lead singer as he angrily yells at her his face fixed in a nasty scowl.
" How dare you sing about the moon goddess in such a degrading way!" He all but shreiks at her his voice is annoying as all hell.
The singer snarkly replies to him in a defensive manner.
" why, is it degrading because i'm a human huh... Is that why you stupid vamp brained wolf." She yells at him back her face turning slight flushed from anger.
He replies to her with wit.
" vamp brained are you trying to say my mate is stupid! Or is that just your way of trying to insult me. Since your race is so smart you'd know vampires and were wolf are not enemy's anymore in fact some were's like myself are mated to vampires idiot!"
Her anger builds a can see shes gonna say something really funny it's probably is going to get her killed. She replies in a mocking and belittling way. " Dont make me break out the dog whistle you stupid mutt" She says with an evil smirk. Oh fuck she did not just say that to a were wolf. I try to block my oncoming laugh by putting my hand over my mouth. Thankfully not a sound escaped my lips although the laughter wanted to jump out of my throat. The man looks even angrier than before his wolfs sharp teeth showing through it looks like he's going to shift. Thankfully a were wolf warrior/ Police officer managed to break up the argument rather quickly reminding the old where wolf he had to go tend to his mate.
I can hear the officer consoling him.
" lets not cause a scene it wouldn't be good for your image Gamma Eric. Besides your pregnant mate has been worried sick about you, don't you think it's time to go home It's getting rather late It's already 6:00pm anyway i'm sure she would like you to cook her dinner or something."
Eric nods in agreement with the officer still looking pissed of course. Another near by officer speaks to the singer in an annoyed tone. " come with me your being detained for blatant disrespect of a high ranking wolf." She scowls at him her mouth opening to say something but she decides against it. The officer quickly detains her cuffing her on stage with the other band Member's just standing there unsure of what to do with themselves watching her be put in the police car. Quickly the red and black police car drives away from the scene with ease.

The remaining band member's start packing up there things whispering among themselves in cant hear what they are saying so I turn my attention else where. Them shuffling and putting things away can still be heard but rather faintly. Finally I released the laughter i had been holding in the entire time. I laughed until I was wheezing trying to catch my breath. I managed to compose myself once more thinking to myself as devilish smirk plays at my lips " serves that asshole right though oh god that was too funny. This was defiantly the highlight of my day so far."
I busy myself with looking at the evergreen trees that littered the park in various places. The dead grass crunching as a few people walk past me. I look at my phone checking the time.

The clock reads 5:30pm I decided to go walk the Blood river's trail. It's a river not to far from here that has trails you can go walking on. Not many visit the trails this time of day anyway it would be better for me to go now rather than earlier in the day. I grab my things and start walking the direction if the river walk. The leaves crunching against my boots as I notice the sky is dimming from the sun starting to go down. I hum a sad song as I walk watching the clouds that have mixed colors of orange and pink and white. The sky being a beautiful tint of blue. Before I knew it is had arrived at the river walk. I set my eyes on the river, the waves of water crashed past the rocks to the right making it seems at though it was daring me to walk across the rocks on the river. I scoff to myself thinking
" as if I would actually make it across the river when the water levels too high." I smile to myself think of how fun it would be to play in the river if it was warmer outside and I stayed in an area I wouldnt get swept away in. I then decided to walk to trail along the river. My feet trudged along as I watched the trees in the distance sway in the wind slightly like they where talking to each other. My eyes meet the sky again watching as it darkens even more into a dark blue. Finally I find a stopping point. I find a quarts rock bit enough to sit on near some trees. I sit on the rock now resting my legs as I look up to the sky once more instead of seeing the sun the moon now takes it's place shining down on me.

No one ever said life would be a walk in the park I guess. I smile to myself and whisper out loud.
" if you are real, I want to know is that legend true and if it is do we stand a chance at all?" I say to the sky with sadness and anger inside me brewing like boiling water on a stove.
" do you even love me at all or any human being? Are we going to be like this forever! Will you ever help us. besides the generation of the people who betrayed you is over all of them are dead. so why do we have to pay the price for their mistake!"

After the words had left my mouth i suddenly felt exhausted. I tried to stand up to leave but instead when I had darkness consumed me.
