Hey guys, just so you know I changed my username from kisstheheart to evil_cat.

Chapter 6:

The moon smiling down at me

You know that moment in your life when you get this feeling in your tummy that someone is lying, well that's what I'm feeling right now except he's not lying I can see it clear in his eyes.

Shock overtook my body and gained control, I was frozen in place, I completely forgot about my terrible head ache that was hammering in my head, I forgot about my reason for being here I even forgot about my existence.

I stared blankly at the man laying in front me, what's his name again...oh yeah, Archer Creek.

Anxiety was written all over his face and I turned on my back suddenly everything smacked me right back in the face.

My head ache unfortunately started banging against my skull again, the nausea was disgusting, my senses returned to normal and I remembered what just happened so I started to laugh.

"What are you laughing about?" Seriousness was clear in his voice and when he didn't start laughing with me I stopped.

"You're lying, werewolves don't exist, Archer and besides I know this is just some silly prank your pulling on me" I know what I said and yet I still didn't seem convinced that he was lying, I just know he was telling the truth but I didn't want to accept it, it's too early I'm only sixteen for goodness sakes!

"I speak the truth, Lexi" his voice was calm and sweet, convincing me even more that he wasn't hiding the truth. I shook my head no.

"No, no you're lying!" By now tears freely flowed down my cheek, he placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder and a guilty look was plastered on his perfect face.

"No, don't you dare give me that look Archer Creek!" I ordered and he nodded removing his hand from my shoulder, as soon as the comforting warmth disappeared it was quickly taken over by chills.

"Am I really a werewolf?" I sobbed and he nodded.

"Yes, you are, tonight is the night when you shift for the first time" he told me and I sat up bringing my knees to my chest and let the tears fall freely.

He scooted closer to me and wrapped his arms around my pathetic trembling body. I dropped my head on his shoulder and cried.

It's just so much to take in, like one moment I'm all human in the flesh thinking that all these stories my mother would read me about werewolves were just stories but turns out they're not and that pinches my heart to know that she kept such a dark secret like that away from me, her own daughter.

Wait.

Do my parents even know about werewolves? Or are they still oblivious to the dangerous and very real outside world?

"Do my parents know about werewolves?" I looked at him and he smirked and nodded.

"You're entire family are wolves, mine too which means I'm also a werewolf but I'll explain all of that later, just focus on the moon for now, okay?" He kissed my forehead and I nodded then looked at the beautiful moon.

"Will it hurt?" I asked staring at its natural beauty and he sighed before responding.

"It always hurts, the first time but for the ones afterwards it feels totally natural and pain free"

My eyes zoomed in on it and I felt weak and tired, my muscles started to hurt and suddenly the pain went away, I heard a crack and my back curled upwards but I didn't feel anything, no sharp pain that rushed threw my body.
