Bad Blood

The Little Pup

I brace myself, but for what I do not know. The doctor takes a deep breath and says,"Your first take over will be the next moon." I scream so loud and so high pitched I'm sure I broke something. The doctor continues,"The next moon your parents will be out of town for a meeting the council wants to hold. Since you haven't had your first take over there will be no need for you to come because, as you may know, only when you have had 12 moon take overs is when you can go to the council meetings." I ask the doctor,"What is this meeting about?" My mom answers,"Just some old legend about an upcoming blood moon. It doesn't concern you sweetheart." I nod and the doctor gives pills to my parents. He explains that those will help me keep my cool when I'm about to loose it and it can also keep my pain down! The doctor leaves and my parents give me a heartwarming embrace. They call Bane and inform him of what is going on. He, and his wife Lilly, are overjoyed! I run up to my room and look at the moon calendar. There is just a week before I turn into a full Bad Blood! I jump around! Sadly that means I won't be able to attend next week's sleepover. I will have to tell them I am sick. I am called down to dinner, which is a very good steak, and then I do my homework. At the dinner table I ask,"So what is the whole legend about?" My father dives into the story,"Well. It's about how we have been in hiding for thousands of years! The exact number of years I don't know. But on this specific year there will be a blood moon that will select 2 Bad Bloods to become our rulers. Both of them are supposed to be very young and somewhat new to the whole take over process. Also both are the same kind. So we are going to discuss about Bad Bloods in the area that are new! We are going on a guess to say that they have had their 12 moon take overs. Haha yes it will be an exciting time for us!" I ask with food in my mouth,"What are these 2 supposed to accomplish?" My mother finishes my dad's story,"They are supposed to create a Royal Family of some sort and both of them get the moon's help! Depends on if the 2 are tamed Bad Bloods or wild Bad Bloods. If they are wild I would expect them to try and kill humanity and flame earth for our own. If they are tame I think they would try to keep us at peace with the humans." I nod. Tomorrow night is Friday, a week from that I will be with an elderly couple, like usual when my parents leave town for a meeting, and I'm guessing they will help me take over. I have never been to their house before so it will be fun. I call them Grandma and Grandpa, since mine died fighting of a pack of wild Bad Bloods before I was born, they have excepted me as their granddaughter. The coolest part is that we are the same type! Both families are wolf families! We have looked into it and we aren't actually related family wise but it's still rare you would run into your same kind. But my parents are the same kind so I guess it's not insanely rare. It's a struggle for me to fall asleep tonight. This must be what it's like to sleep on the night before your wedding! I roll around at least 20 times before I find a comfortable position. The moment I relax my body reminds me that I need to use the restroom. Once I come back I try to find another comfortable position. I don't quite remember how it happens but I fell asleep. I awake with the sun and the moment my eyes open I am up and kicking! I dress myself as usual and prepare for tonight's sleepover. My parents usually don't try to get involved in our games. I set out 3 movies I think everyone will enjoy and I begin to set out some snacks. I move out living room couch to the wall so that everyone can put their sleeping bag on the floor. I already set mine in the perfect spot so that way I don't have to later. My mom walks out with the car keys in her hand. She says,"Is it really our turn again?" I smile and nod my head. She hugs me and together we walk to the car. Usually I slide on some headphones but today I decide to crank up the car radio. Luck was on my side today because my favorite song was the second song we heard! I slide a pill into my mouth as I get out of the car. My mom waves me goodbye and then drives off to work. I feel like I can run a mile! I can see and hear everything! And I can smell.... something incredible. Something smells so insanely amazing I can't help but melt. All humans have a unique smell, but we can still tell apart humans from Bad Bloods. This smell isn't human. It's either some really good Bad Blood, which is unlikely, or an angel on earth! As a approach my locker the smell gets stronger. There is something human in it. Maybe this human has very good perfume or cologne. When I get to my locker I figure out the smell. Annie smells like the same as usual. She wears a perfume from her favorite store that is the scent of the beach. She also smells like cinnamon rolls. Leon smells the same as usual as well. Like the trash he is he put on to much cologne, no doubt to catch the attention of some poor soul. With my new nose these scents are much more vibrant and I can now smell the difference between humans and Bad Bloods. Not only that I can smell much better. So why does Jullian smell insanely different? It's a good smell... I never want to leave it.
