We started walking further into the bush to see if we could find anything ourselves. I try to focus on my surroundings but all I can hear is the fire. My mate looks deep in concentration as he looks around.
"What do you hear something?" Luna questions when she notices his concentration.
He shakes his head no before saying "just the fire".
I tune out the conversation between the siblings and try again to listen and take in my surroundings completely letting the smells and the sounds take over my senses. I crouch down and dig my hands into the dirt to try and connect myself with the forest in hopes of triggering a vision. But unfortunately nothing all I can feel and hear is the fire and smoke which starts to become overwhelming as memories of the hale fire takeover and I rip my hands from the ground and take a deep breath. When suddenly a howl rips through the air and beside I can block my ears, my eyes roll into the back of my head. And that's the last thing I remember before I find myself by myself in a completely different location then what I was in a second ago. I don't have much time to think about it as Luna and my mate show up him immediately coming to my side, and another girl and guy that I don't recognise.
"Luna?" The random guy asks while looking at luna.
"Everett?" She asks him while looking confused
"We'll I feel left out so might as well introduce myself here, I'm Aurora nice to meet you" I say with a grin on my face
My mate looks down at me with a smile as he whispers in my ear, "nice to formally meet you Aurora, I'm Harlan" before kissing my neck and looking back at the situation that's happening infront of us.
I only catch the end of what Everett said as I start to pay attention again "Harlan and luna"
"What are you doing out here?" My mate Harlan asks the two new people, Everett and No Name.
"What are you doing out here?" No Name fired back
Suddenly everyone's eyes start glowing gold but mine don't which makes me laugh.
"Hah you guys are such a bunch of glow sticks, I could never" I say about a second before I feel my eyes glow. "we'll that was short lived" I mumble.
As I look at there eyes more carefully I notice that they are different from mine "What in the lizard" I whisper, "hold up why do your guys eyes look like that" I ask as everyone looks at my questionably as my eyes are no longer glowing.
"What do you mean?" Luna asks confused
"I mean your eyes are different to mine" I say as I flash my eyes which look like a galaxy mixture of gold and red.
"Your eyes are glowing" Everett says while looking at me and everyone else.
"No shit Sherlock we have already discovered that keep up." I say looking at him with a smirk on my face.
"This never happens to us" Harlan claimed looking slightly unnerved, and tense. I run circles on his back to try and ease his nerves which he appreciates as he looks down at me to smile and kiss the crown of my head.
"What never happens?" Everett asked as the glow in his eyes dimmed.
"Any of this" Harlan says as the glow in his eyes also dim as I looked at him and whisper "nu uh your eyes glowed at the club when I flashed mine, both yours and Lunas did." Harlan looks at me confused as Luna turns to face me as she heard me whispering "did I not mention that, hold on didn't you feel it when yours flashed?" Both sibling shake there heads looking even more confused.
"Ok so if it's never happened before why is it happening now?" I ask looking at everyone, mostly the siblings.
"What, what's happening" No Name asks, her nerves and confusion and rolling of her in waves to the point that it actually makes me feel nauseous.
"Luna stop" Harlan quickly said as he notices that Luna's about to speak up.
"Tell us" Everett pleads looking just as nervous and confused as his friend, but just when I'm about to focus on his emotions I realise that the emotions I though were from No Name are actually coming from him.
"We don't even know them"Harlan warns as he notices she going to say something regardless of what he's saying.
Luna looks back at them as she thinks about how she's going to word it before Everett interrupts her train of thought.
"Why is this happening?" Everett pushes needing answers to whatever is going on.
"Because we're all here, all together, under the moon" luna hints as she looks at them both.
Everyone looks up at the moon as it peaks out from behind the clouds. While everyone is admiring it, I'm glaring at it and everything it's put me through, if it wasn't for my mothers training I wouldn't be in as much control as I am right now.
"Something bit you" luna asks as she looks at No Name even though her statement was aimed at both her and Everett. No Name looks at luna with fear and disbelief as it crashes into me making me take a step back into Harlan. He looks at me to make sure I'm ok before looking back at the group.
"Don't say it" No Name warns as the look of fear and disbelief grows.
"Your like us now" luna claims calmly
"Don't" No Name continues as she looks around like she's looking for an easy escape.
"Just like us" luna continues as if she was never interrupted.
No Name and Everett look at each other, as Everett has just put the pieces together as a look of recognition flashes across his features.
"Werewolves" Everett says looking at No Name and then looks at everyone as we follow his actions and look between each other.
Everett starts walking towards No Name as he notices she staring to panic. "Blake" he says as he approaches her.
"So that's her name" I whisper with relief finally being able to put a name to a face.
Blake takes a step back as Everett gets closer to her. "Blake" Everett tried again but she's too deep in her own panic to stop backing up. "Blake wait" Everett tried again but it's no use I can already feel it she's gonna make a run for it.
"I gotta go" she quickly says before turning around and making a run for it into the forest. Everett looks at us before he's gone chasing after her.
"Blake" we can hear him call out as he starts to get further away.
"Shit" I hear Harlan whisper as he realises we're gonna need to chase after them.
Everyone runs after them as the assume I'm running to but I just casually stroll after them following there scent.
"There is no way I'm running if nothing is chasing after me, no ma'am, no way" I say to myself as I follow there scent.
