Dear, Isaac Lahey

Chapter Fourteen:

Finding Her Own Anchor

Full moon's coming way too fast. I only have two days to find my anchor. Not really, I just want to find my anchor to control my damn werewolf-self. I'm doing nothing right now and I know what to do.

I walked through the woods, all I could hear was silence. I started to run further, till I convinced myself, the distance was too far. I started to think the most annoying things in my life that happened, but nothing happened. I shook my head and tried again. I thought of something annoying that hasn't happened yet, then my vision became red, my gums hurt and I felt my fangs coming out, my nails grew longer and pointy.

I couldn't control myself, I feel like killing something, or even someone. I started to think of Erica, she could be my anchor. Nothing happened, I just ended up to the thought of her being killed and I ended up killing an innocent bird. I felt angrier, then I accidentally thought of...

"Hi, what's your name?" A boy with piercing blue eyes came up to me.

"Hey, I'm Ellie and you?" I asked for his.

"Isaac." He gave me a smile and he shot him a small one. "How old are you?" He tried making a conversation.

"13, how about you?"

"Same."

"Ellie, you're 15 now, I don't think your mom will mind if I ask you out." He held both of my hands. I looked up at him and sighed.

"Okay, fine. I'll be your girlfriend." He grinned from ear to ear and I smiled happily.

"I love you, Ellie." I couldn't help, but let out a smile.

"I love you more, Isaac." He pouted and I looked like him, like he was a crazy person.

"I thought, I love you most." We laughed in unison.

"You do."

I felt myself calm down. I looked down at my nails, but they were still long and pointy. I couldn't believe it, I found my anchor. I smiled at myself and God only knows how creepy I might've looked. I started to unshift and I still couldn't help, but smile. I can now control myself, even on a full moon. I'm the happiest person right now.

But how can I say that... Isaac's my anchor? They'll probably ask me about it, but I could keep it a secret, right? Right. I walked back home, it was kind of a long walk, considering I ran too far. It was dark and unsafe, so I fastened my walking pace.

I hopefully got home safe. I collapsed on my bed and started to sleep happily.

One of my best nights...
