~Chapter One~

The air smells sweet. I can hear Luna's soft footsteps in front of me. The snapping of twigs makes me feel so peaceful and relaxed. This forest has been my true home for as long as I can remember. It's many giant oaks are no stranger to me and I look at each of them as
a family member. The ground beneath me is soft and moist after the shower we had earlier that day. Today was a perfect day to shape shift with the loving breeze. Luna comes to a stop in the femilura clearing. She turns to me with a smile declaring it to be the time. I nod looking up at the inky black sky as the moon appears behind some watercolour clouds. I feel my muscles tense and my face slowly begins to change shape. Luna isn't long in following my lead. Dark silver fur starts to sprout throughout our bodies. We hunch over as the fur rips off all remains of our human clothing. I feel my much beloved fluffy tail break through my pants and I watch as I see my hands become dog like paws.

When the transformation is over my sister and I tilt back our heads to our redeemer the moon before we set about sniffing the area for any sign of prey close by. It isn't long before I scent a helpless venicent near by. I glance over at Luna giving her a curt nod. She understands my instruction and stalks off in front of me waiting behind a crude, dying oak. I stay hidden behind another tree, listening intently as the venicent grows nearer.

As the venicent walks past Luna's oak she emerges slightly unknow to the creature. My lips curl back revealing my purely white teeth. As a human my teeth are my favourite features and has a awesome result on the ladies. As I step into veiw the venicen stares at me like a cat stuck in headlights...ugh I hate cats. It's turns back to flee only stopping dead as it sees my sister also showing the same wolfish rage. We begin to close in on the venicent, pushing it in to a tree which was withered and old. The venicent's black eyes are wide, knowing it's fate. I don't need to inform Luna of what to do next. We have hunted so many times before. In on leap I bite the venicent's jugler vein. The venicent kicks wildly until I use my teeth to rip out the animals throat. I turn to my sister and nodded. She then bites ripping out its heart with bloodthirsty lust and pleasure.
