The Bite

Chapter 9: The Blooming Moon

I feel bad for not posting for the past month or two, so I'm updating as many stories as I can.

Afternoon [12:29 pm]
Sunday

I was panicking, pacing around my bedroom with harsh strides. "That's 3 days away Meo!" I exclaimed. "You didn't think to tell me this, oh I don't know, before I got myself grounded!"

'I must've forgotten, that's my bad.' He chuckled sheepishly. "How could you forget!" I shouted. 'Keep it down. I'm in your head remember.' He shushed. I stopped my pacing and took a deep breath. "Alright. Firstly, never tell a woman to calm down." I grit out, earning a slight gulp in return.

'And secondly, how the hell am I supposed to calm down? What will I even turn into!? A wolf. Or a lycan?!' I asked, the thought of shifting into some kind of monstrous hybrid flashes through my head.

'Ok, please stop thinking of that atrocity. We share the same mind when we're in this state.' He said. 'And most first time shifters, or at least born wolves and lycans, take 2 or 3 days to complete a shift.'

'Lycans have been known to take longer, which makes sense as their bodies are bigger and stronger than your average pack wolf.' Meo said.

'Why a pack wolf?' I asked. 'Wolves and lycans alike are stronger in packs.' He replied.

'Like, stronger in numbers?'

'No. It makes them stronger and faster. More powerful.' He said. 'We're getting off track here!' He suddenly shouted. 'Right, the shifting. Do you know what I'll turn into or not?' I said.

'Well, which presented themself first?' He asked. Thinking back on it, they first showed themselves when Meo was in trouble. Dato spoke first and then it was Akila.

'Dato I guess.' I replied. 'Then that's who you'll shift into first.' He said, 'Is Dato your wolf or you lycan?' He asked.

'He's my wolf.' I said.

He just hummed. 'You're going to have a long full moon.' He said. 'And why do you say that..?' I asked anxiously, somewhat afraid of his answer. 'Well, you're technically going to go through, two transformations...' he spoke slowly.

My eyes widened, the thought alone sent multiple shivers down my spine. 'Excuse me..?' I muttered.

'Just get out of the house by Tuesday.' He said.

'How the hell am I supposed to do that?! I'm grounded remember!' I exclaimed. 'Damn, I forgot about that. Don't worry, I'll figure something out.' He said before the connection is severed.

Morning [6:17 am]
Monday

I woke up a bit sweaty, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. My hearing was a bit louder as well. I could hear the dog next door, barking its heart out. This wouldn't have been a problem if it didn't feel like it was doing so directly into my fucking eardrum.

I slowly made my way out of my bed and trudged over to my bathroom. From there, I stripped and switched on the water. I washed away at any grime or sweat before walking back out and drying myself off.
