Howls of the moon 🌑 Echoes Roars of the sun 🌕

Chapter 3: Wolf

Tiye awoke panting heavily as if she lacked oxygen. She gripped her chest as if to beg her beating heart to slow down. She rolled over to her side and tried to sit herself up a bit, she could tell that she was sweating a lot as the damp sheets clung onto her. Suddenly there was a loud "thud" within the darkness, making Tiye's body stiffen in alert mode. In the still quietness another "Thud" was heard, making her jump.

"Who's there?!" Tiye shouted defensively.

The moon shone behind her through the window casting her shadow forward. The light seemed to wall off the darkness as if to protect her from whatever was within the room with her.

The deafness of the room made Tiye nervous, so much so, that she suddenly could hear the low chimes of the bell on her wrist loudly.

The bell chimes continued like Tiye's heartbeat, slow and long. Her eyes pierced into the darkness, waiting for a signal that could mean life or death. Suddenly twelve white eyes appeared and large heavy feet could be heard walking towards her. When whatever the thing was, stepped into the moonlight, the room door knocked loudly.

Tiye shot up out of bed, her mind still racing away. It was only when the room door was knocked on again, that she realized she had been dreaming.

"Room service!" A feminine voice spoke from the other side. "I'm here to return your clothes?"

"Ah! One minute!" Shouted Tiye as she quickly readjusted herself before opening the door. On the other side was an older woman with white hair and a gentle smile. She handed the clothes to Tiye, bowed her head and was about to quickly return to work. "Wait! Do you have a newspaper I can read?"

The old lady smiled softly at Tiye. "Of course, dear." She then went to her cart and grabbed a rolled up newspaper from the stack. "Here you go. Enjoy your day now." She spoke as she left.

Tiye closed the door with her things in hand. She first sat the newspaper down and inspected her clothes. They really outdid themselves and made a lovely cape of the red bed sheet. They even threw in a white blouse and black pants to wear with it.

As Tiye got dressed, she walked over to her worn out black boots and put them on. She then grabbed the newspaper off the dresser and began reading it on the bed.

Her eyes nearly left her. It was the same day but the date stated that she technically has been dead for eleven years now. Which means that she's actually seventeen and has two days left before her heat.

The last time something like that happened to tiye was when she just turned two years old.... And was decapitated. But it took no less than a year for her recovery when it happened. So why did she take longer?

"Unless the water held my body down preventing me from reaching the surface of the water, thus I was in a constant state of recovery..." Tiye thought out loud.

"Ugh!!! Even my thinking process has changed! Still...my 18th birthday is in two days... sigh, and I still don't know anything yet."

Tiye decided to not think about herself for a bit and decided to look for any information about her current situation. She found articles about a new city with ancient history buried underground. Apparently the discovery was so big that many cultures from around the world came to try and decipher it.

"Well that will at least be worth taking note of. Hopefully I can find a clue about me there, I guess..." Tiye muttered. Suddenly her eyes glimpse of a huge crisis article.

{Yesterday, the beast community was infiltrated by a human who was pronounced dead at the scene... Although the body has yet to be found, the Lycan king has put out a search warrant for a month just in case. If you see anything suspicious please report to your local police.
