The Lunar Saga: Crescent Moon (Book 1)

Chapter 1: Running towards The Light

Chapter 1

Running towards the light   

I woke up from another nightmare. The same dream as before, very hazy to remember. My body shrived the snow off, as I begin to slowly rise.
"Looks like the snow storm has cleared up".
I stood still for the sun warmth. Perhaps it’s a habit or the monster within me that I suddenly grew rapidly to my surroundings. I sniffed for the area for any sign of danger or food, my ears straighten themselves for any sound of movement. My left ear twitched but came back to its rightful place. "Seemed safe."
All I can think was hunger. I haven’t eaten for 3 nights only because I escaped. My past..is something that should not be said. Anger only cause pain and suffering. I ran day and night, unknown to my whereabouts. Here, if I were human, I wouldn’t be alive from the snow storm. “What’s more disheartening, death or being a monster?”

Leah's POV:

            I looked at Seth confused.

“Do you smell that, Seth?”

“Smell what?” Seth said.
 Seth and I both stopped goofing around in our wolf’s formed. The smell of air became intense. I couldn't see nor hear anything yet the atmosphere grew different. I began to growl for this unfamiliar scent I knew.  Seth looked worried and knew what I was thinking. Whoever this foreigener is, better see what he is getting himself into. We both howled, informing Jacob, Sam and the others. It was coming fast and I didn’t like it. I wanted to chase this outsider away as I growled.
“Who does this wolf think he is? Running into our land as if there is no boundary”.
 I snapped my teeth in anger.
“Not even the Cullens are allowed”.  
Jacob and Sam howled instantly from our warning, while they informed others up ahead. Seth knew what I was thinking yet he insisted of meeting up with Jake. He feared whoever this new comer is, would not be friendly. Come to think of it, I wouldn’t want Seth to get hurt either if he chased after me.

Kris's POV:

            I decided to run freely through the snowy forest, forgetting about my horrible past. My freedom was lonesome without my brother’s and sister’s by my side. Growing sorrow, I shake this feeling off and began to run. Breathing heavily, not caring where I’ll end up next, whimpering was the only sound I made. I did not know I can make such sweet sorrow music.

Leah's POV:

            I saw Jake and Sam’s pack from a distance up the hill as I grew closer I heard the sound of a wolf crying, the same wolf.

“Do you think his hurt?” Seth said.

“I don’t know and I don’t care.”
 But I was wrong..the wolf whimpered through the forest, made me wonder.

“Did Jake & Sam hear the wolf pain?”

 I looked at Jake first, but he seemed eager to know who this wolf was. I decided to pick up my speed; I needed to know who this wolf is as well.

Kris's POV:

            Picking up the scent of 10 unfamiliar animals heading my way, I began to pick up my pace a bit further.
“Are they chasing after me? Let me head left, perhaps I’m just in their way of hunting. Wait a minute? It could possibly mean that I’m the food? What should I do? Where should I go? I don’t know this forest”. I sign in frustration.  
“Maybe I can out smart these dumb animals, I am still part human after all.”

  While laughing I bounced all over the forest, scratching my shoulders against the tree log.

“Yeah! That should hold them off!”
