"Me? You do not know who I am? Asked the boy in a calm and soothing voice, smiling gently.
"I apologise, I do not know who you are" said Luna feeling encouraged by the gentle smile.
"Why I am Mike. What about you" he smiled.
"I am Luna, Are you the Mike who was chased?" asked Luna curious.
"Chased? Why would I be chased?" replied Mike laughing.
"So you're not a werewolf," asked Luna wide-eyed.
"Oh goodness. I don't know about the chasing part. But I am a werewolf" said Mike.
By that time, Mike understood something unusual.
"You're kidding, right?" laughed Luna.
"No, of course not. I'm Mike" cried Mike laughing savagely.
"Dad Joke!" pointed out Luna laughing as well.
"Anyway, what are you doing out alone in the woods, Luna?" asked Mike.
"I came here to pick some berries, but I guess I'm far from home, said Luna, "Do you have a flashlight by any chance?"
"Nah, but you can spend the night at my place." Asked Mike.
"I am not sure, is it safe?" asked Luna.
"I guess," said Mike.
Mike showed Luna his 'House'.
It was a very big tree house with a kitchen counter, a bed, a mirror and more!
"Make yourself at home" said Mike in a welcoming way, "I'll not be home tonight, I, well, need to go for a night walk but whatever you do, do not step outside the treehouse until I say so."
"Okay Mike," Luna said with her fingers crossed at the back.
At Midnight, Mike went out and Luna was 'sleeping'.
As soon as he left, Luna jumped out to see if Mike was lying or not because, of course, she couldn't trust a stranger immediately. It was all part of her 'plan'.
Luna went outside and hid behind a bush watching as Mike transformed into a werewolf!

'Of course, she wanted to see a werewolf, it was her most awaited dream,
To meet and see a real werewolf!
And that had come true once she saw Mike, with eyes so keen!'
~
She saw Mike howl.
But deep inside, she felt sick.
She had the urge to come out and howl.
She had an instinct to just come out of the bushes and howl.
She knew Mike would be upset to see her go against her word and never talk to her again.
So, she ran until she reached the tree house with the help of the moonlight shining the way.
She drank some water and sat on the floor, confused, without realising she fell asleep on the floor.
She was exhausted and scared if she would be able to make it at home or if she would stay here forever! Which was a childish thing to think of.
That night, she had a horrible nightmare of wolves chasing her.
She was sure terrified.
The next day, she found herself in bed, in her home, with her mother worried, sitting at the edge of the bed.
