Guys! Pretend it's yesterday, I was meant to update yesterday! Whoops! Only because yesterday was a real full moon and I feel crap for not doing it yesterday! I hope you like the ending!

I tiptoed up to the cupboard in the kitchen, trying to find where the medicines were hidden. I was short, so I let my hand wander until I found something familar. I took it out a grinned. It was handmade by my grandma, the remedy. It was just for me and the others who have the same disease.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror. It was quite a hideous sight. I might look awesome in my wolf form or when I'm human. But, when I see what I actually am, between transformations, it makes me feel weak. Black veins crept throughout my whole body and I was sore in my legs. My eyes went from normal wolf sight in human form to wolf sight completely every 5 seconds, giving me a headache. In the movies, they made transformations so easy.

Why is it in real life it hurt so much? I scowled at the image before me before taking my medicine, watching my wolf's silver hair turning back to blond. My eyes turning back and the veins hiding. I was lucky that last the sleepover didn't go wrong. Natsu had forced Gajeel to sleep, showing me 'asleep'.

I grabbed my bag before walking out the front door. It was cold outside and I could hear my medicine in a secret pocket in my bag. I was at the school gates when Erza had run up to me with a worried face. "Are you okay? I heard from Gajeel you weren't well!" She said as she grabbed onto my shoulders, checking me.

I nodded dramatically, scared.

"It must have been him just seeing things, he was looking at the screen in the dark so closely," I lied to her. It could have been the truth if I wasn't a werewolf. If I wasn't, it might have not happened at all.

"Oh..." She suddenly got really awkward. I understand how she felt. Because of how she was so high in academic reputation, she doesn't really have any 'friends'. She was someone everyone could talk to however no one got too close to her.

"You want to sit with Levy and me at lunch, I think you need time with people, and maybe friends?" I asked her. It was a long shot, her face had turned to a thinking face. What had made me ask that to her? What had I done? What if I got shut down? Well, that wasn't a problem when she gave me a thumbs up before dashing off.


"You came to school? Are you okay?" Natsu pestered me. We were in science, trying to learn chemistry with our new teacher. She was great. Unfortunately, with my luck, I had got stuck in a table with him.

"I come to school every time, is there something different that I shouldn't go for?" I asked him. He grinned after I asked him the question.

"You could have used that as an excuse not to go to school!"

"Yeah, sorry miss, I was in the middle of transforming because of my disease, oh, by the way, I'm a werewolf!" I whispered to him. He seemed a little offended, but, it was sarcasm. It was kinda meant to hit him where it hurts.

"Idiot, just lie to the teacher," He flicked my forehead. The teacher glared at us and I quickly looked back down to my green book, rubbing my head to ease the pain.

"Why would I do that? Anyways, if you haven't noticed, I'm those 'rare' people who like school," I hit his shoulder, noting down the instructions for ionic bonding.

"Fiesty!"

I ignored him. Why would anyone just blurt that out in the middle of nothing? I even think he meant it on purpose. He wouldn't have just done.

"Wai--Do yo uhave a place to transform?" I asked him, worried.

"I got foster parents, they don't know what I am. So, no," He managed out.


"Lucy, who did you bring home?" I heard my mum yell. She was in a happy mood, that had meant she had finished a call with dad. She walked to the entrance to see me with Natsu, taking off our shoes and heavy coats.

"This is Natsu, remember? The werewolf?" I tried to remind her.

"Oh, yes! The boy you were talking about!" She said. That was a bog mistake on my behalf for telling her that. I looked at Natsu, who was smirking.

"Really? Luce talks about me? What does she say?"

"Luce?"

Both of them ignored me.

"Just the other day, she was saying how much of a swe--"

"Enough! Can you not see the time! We came home late on purpose!" I said, pointing at the clock. On days like these, mum lets me stay out late. Just to let me get fresh air just before getting caged in. It was five minutes left.

"Oh, yes!" Mum clapped before leading us down to out basement. It had bowls on the floor and meat ready for us to devour. There were mats made out of something natural for us to sleep in. And it stank of the woods. Natsu leant against the wall as Mum quickly began unlocking the door. Her face was already turning. Mum had blue veins, I get mine from dad, who had black. Her amber eyes filling up the whites.

She went on her knees and I looked at Natsu. He had already transformed. He was quick, I didn't even see him transform yet. I guess there was always next time. I blinked a few times, my pain coming back as the medicine wore off. Only I got the pain when transforming because of my disease. I could feel myself getting smaller.

Being in this form was me being free. My silver fur was dim in the torch lights on the brick wall and I looked at Natsu again. Looking at him, he had light brown fur. I walked over to him, feeling the stone cold floor underneath my paw. Remember how I said I was free? That meant I wasn't able to contain my train of thought.

I can see everything that was happening before me, but my instincts would take control. The real me would take control. My nose nuzzled against his and I could see his eyes closing at it. I could hear my mum eating from her bowl. I walked over closer to Natsu. His eyes were fully black, and it was like the night that I loved.

I moved my nose to where his neck would have been and he seemed to have done the same to me. We jolted back as we heard my mum howl. Something about 'not getting it on when she's around'

Natsu howled.

'I'll do it when I want to, ma'am'
