EJ's POV
"Dark!" I say for probably the thousandth time today. 'I gotta find her, she might be hurt, and it's obvious pale face ain't gonna help so it's only gonna be me searching, 'hopefully she isn't that far'. I'm running deeper into the forest, around trees, under branches, and over the fallen logs and roots sticking out.
I've been doing this for several hours and have tripped over roots a few times, but it doesn't bother me. All I can think about is Dark, until I find her I don't care what happens to me, she's my main priority.
I then began trying to block out my own thoughts as I gaze around the forest, trying to spot something or hear a sound, but all I hear are the birds chirping. There's no running or any other disturbances, other than my own two feet running along the dry soil. 'I should probably rest... What are you thinking you gotta find Dark!'. I then shout out 'Dark' one last time, before deciding that's just a waste if breathe and deciding to stop screaming out.
I continued this for a few more hours, just listening and looking intently into the forest, but I eventually noticed the darker lighting and know automatically the sun is setting. Once I notice this I sit down like I was planning to do when the sun set and rested for a few minutes to catch my breathe. 'Remember no sleeping until later, I gotta search more.' I think as my breathing began to calm.
Once my breath was completely normal I got up to continue my search for Dark. It was almost pitch black, but I can see fairly well in the dark, since I can make of almost all the figures, shapes anyway, so I had no trouble maneuvering like I would in bright daylight.
I continued my walk until I felt something wet seep through my shoes as I walked. I grew confused knowing it hadn't rained and looked down to see a dark crimson liquid covering the ground near me. I then look around and see an old couple who seemed to be in running suit, which were now torn up and bloody. 'What the hell happened here?' I think looking around. 'Rake maybe?' I think noticing how a lot of the marks seem to be similar to claw marks. 'I gotta find Dark before something worse does' I think treading onward.

Dark's POV
   I was leaning against a tree, as I have been for about an hour. Just watching the moon, waiting for it to get high and big enough to cause my change, waiting for it to become full.
After a few minutes of staring straight up, I felt it begin, my change. My skin tickled all around, and a slight pain in my fingers. I then look down and see pitch black fur beginning to grow and claws in my hands, then my body began to become what I had thought, my wolf form, but worse. I'm bigger, angrier, hungrier, fiercer, and well all around more terrifying.
   That's when it hit me all the rage and hunger that controls my body on full moons, what always controls it with none of my consent. I then began running, and searching for my meal. I continued my search for hours, my hunger only worsening. I need food, meat, prey, and blood lots of it.
That's when I heard it, faint footsteps on the forest floor. I smirked as best as I could in my form and slowed down, heading toward the steps. After a few minutes, I was extremely close. Maybe a quarter mile which in this form I can run in no time.
   That's when I realized there wasn't just one but two humans. I began stalking closer to the sounds until I was a few feat away, hiding behind a bush.
   They were an old couple probably 90's in grey running suits. I knew this would be a easy hunt but I won't just drop it cause it's easy, I need blood, now. That's when I bared my teeth and growled a bit to hopefully scare them but they just ignore it thinking it was their imagination, so I jump out of the bush. I go straight for the guy, who tries to kick me but I quickly bite his leg causing him to cry and fall over and the girl to scream from sadness and fright. I then clawed the man a lot, and went after the girl who was only a few feet away. I jumped on her back and dug my claws in and pulled them down her back, causing huge cuts down her back and for another shriek to break into the air. I then bit her neck and clawed a bit more until she was unloving and dead. I then looked over to see the man was dead, probably from bloodloss.    After that moment my senses returned along with my urge for blood, once again and I left the couple there as I began my hunt once again.
