The Beginning

I woke up breathing heavily, sweating profusly, claw marks on my sheets, its happening again the third time this week,  I look through the window straight at the moon, I feel its call the call of the wild, the call of the wolf pack. I feel the change happening its wrong I can't control it, I throw away my sheets and move to the bathroom, I look at the mirror I can now see the change happening, I break for the window, leap out the window and land as a wolf, not any normal wolf but one that's double the size, I put my head up and let out a howl then ran into the woods.

CHAPTER ONE

call of the wild

I woke up groggily, my head was throbbing my teeth ached and it taseted of.... was that blood?, I don't know what has been happening to me this previous month, my mouth is always aching, I've been having weird dreams.....maybe?, no I shake the thought out of my head, I throw my covers off and kinda shamble to the bathroom. I rinsed my mouth of the blood with some warm water, carefully brushed my teeth because of the pain then took a shower which calmed down my nerves, after a few minutes I got out feeling like a new man. I walked back to my room and threw on a grey teeshirt black jeans and black hightops. I pick up my iPhone then headed downstairs, when I got there I met my mother with my 12 year old brother Jake.

"hey mom".I say, I walk over and give her a peck on the head, she was small in stature but she made up for that in her looks, she had green eyes blonde hair and fair skin, she has this cheerful nature and can calm anyone down with just a smile. she smelled like a mixture of different herbs and spices, one was cinnamon....wait, since when did my smelling get this good?. I walked away from her and to my brother who was playing with his Nintendo Wii.

"sup geek". I say and ruffle his hair

"stop calling me that...".he protests he then paused the game and looked at me.

"...I am not a geek". truth was he kinda was, despite having jet black hair, blue eyes and the general good looks which came with being a carter man he was addicted to video games, his favourite mythological games.

"sure you're not". I say then ruffle his hair again, when I think he's had enough I turn back to my mum.

"I just got my liscence, can I please drive the second car to school".I plead

she smiles and takes a sip of her herbal tea

"sure honey, I'll just hitch a ride with your father".she answered.

"but....".i hear my dads voice say, he comes downstairs still knotting his tie. unlike my mum my dad is huge, I and my brother inherited our black hair and blue eyes from him, also his chiseled facial features and his smile which we all started to call the carter charm.

".....you have to be dropping off your brother too". he finished, my mom nodded then went to help my dad knot his tie.

"fine".I said

"ready to go bud".I say.

" lemme just finish this level".he says eyes still glued to the screen, I walked over to him and hoisted him to my shoulder

"that wasn't a question bud".I say then get the keys and as I walk out I catch a glimpse of my mother smiling and my dad shaking his head.

its a beautiful day in the quiet little city of barnsfed, Jake was still pounding my back when Britney walked over in a black death to barbie tank top, black jeans and white vans . Britney has been my neighbour and best friend for like ever, we watched each other grow up, her from an annoying little girl with a fear of thunder to this beautiful part time model with curly blonde hair, blue eyes and fair skin with a sweet innocent smile but a killer body to contrast, and me from a little boy who liked playing with worms to charming defender on the football team, she's a cheerleader and enjoys teasing her friends when not being overprotective. we've been everything, friends enemies and even lovers but it just made us closer.
