Cursed Luisa AU-pt.2

2 Weeks from the Full Moon

after a week of living through sleepless nights and brain fog you'd think Luisa would look like a zombie and act like one as well, but as long as she wasn't hungry she felt and looked good, yeah maybe she was really hairy and it didn't go away, and maybe her canines were unusually sharp, and maybe she craved raw meat all the time, and maybe she woke up with blood on her mouth and little animal bodies around her, but that didn't mean anything.

by talking to her on a good day you wouldn't be able to tell anything was wrong with her, but she was worried, so, so worried, she was scared that she would do something terrible and wouldn't be able to stop herself, that her family or the town would find out about her and drive her away, that she had already done something terrible and didn't even know about it yet.

she had retreated to her room and stayed there almost all day now, only leaving for food and if she felt well enough to do chores, like right now, she leaned down to gingerly wrap her hands around a load of lumber, ever since that first night she had found it hard to control her strength despite traning for years and having a subconsious awareness of exactly how much strength to use, it was always too much now, she crushed whatever she was holding if she wasn't paying attention to it and got scolded for many broken plates and cups, she felt like a child all over again, trying desparately to control herself, why was she suddenly so much stronger? or was everything else just super fragile? she assumed it was the first one.

she was moving the lumber when a group of people came into town, they looked to be of varying ages and soon abuela came to greet them, they explained they were a group of nomads and asked to stay here until the new moon, which was two weeks away, and alma allowed as long as they didn't cause trouble, and they promised not to.

they were soon surrounded by questioners, people wondering about outside life and other stuff, but the crowd soon dispersed and left them to talk to eachother, then Mirabel led them to a inn they could stay at for a few days and when Luisa walked by again she saw one of the young men in the group chatting with Mira, and a young woman with Isa, but her eyes were drawn to what looked like the eldest of their group, he looked around the same age abuela and his eyes were on her, not just on her, more like scanning her, taking in every detail and trying to draw an answer to his own problem, his eyes were a piercing icy blue and Luisa found herself unable to move for a moment before snapping out of it and walking away from the creepy guy, the intensity of the stare sent shivers down her spine and left her a little freaked out, but she soon forgot about it as the sun set.

Luisa watched it go down over the hills and a sense of urgency filled her, she needed to get deep into the forset, the townspeople had caught some glimpses of her during the night and deemed her 'the werewolf', they sent groups of them into the forest at night to try and hunt her and she had a few close calls, but managed to slip away every time. despite being able to take them easily the scrap of humanity and conscious thought in her saved her from attacking them more than once.

Amicus sat in the room of the inn while his pack sat around him in a circle, they talked but he was trying to concentrate and they were starting to get on his nerves

"shut up! all of you! i'm trying to think" he shouted, they all stopped talking as he assumed a look of concentratioin again, then one of them spoke up

"what are we even going to do until the next full moon, did you find our new member yet?"

"of course I found them, but we won't engage just yet, we'll just cause some mischief first, then we'll induct them into the group and teach them about our ways, make sure nobody knows your true identity, and if you're bored you can do as Edith or Oliver-" he gestured to the two that were talking to Luisas siblings before "-you can play with your food before eating it"
