the seven moons [series 1 book 1]

Chapter one [how it began]

     They ran in the dark night, the red furred wolf Raina was carrying a small baby. The baby had long brown hair with red and grey ears. Her eyes were a pretty dark blue and the other wolf running  was Shadow, he was rushing across the plains with very few trees around. He had dark grey fur, with light grey markings. His ears were all light grey. He had grey stripes and his right ear was ripped off. These wolfs were Monica's parents of course, Monica was the baby that Raina was carrying. Raina transformed into her werewolf form Shadow as well. They stopped at a cave, Raina hugged her baby and kissed her forehead. Shadow kissed his baby as a tear left his eye. Her parents set her down in a patch off grass in the cave. They sprinted of till they were no more seen as a great flash of light bursts over the horizon.

     Suddenly, a crack can be heard a few steps away. The sound of someone stepping on a few twigs was present. As the mysterious figure backs away, there is only a shadow that is seen.  As the mysterious shadow stepped forward, it looked like a bird, it had a beak and wings and also a mane of feathers. He had brown feathers, they were a pretty bright brown his hair could be mistaken as feathers, they blended right in. He was only wearing some blue shorts, he had huge claws on his feet and hands.

    "H-hey there" he whispered, his voice was very crackly and some what high pitched. He glanced around the cave to make sure they were alone. He grabbed a stick and lit the stick by a single breath of his beak.

     "I'm Cody, try to remember me in the future, okay?" he whispered, and then he made a gesture with his hand to the small child. A large beam of light shined on her. Then the light slowly faded. 

     "Goodbye Monica" he flew off into the moon.

     As Monica got older, she stayed in that cave and lived in it. She hid from the people that wanted her and her powers. She often took form as a wolf to hide. Monica was done with hiding she formed as a werewolf and used her magic to change, never going back to her old self. She died her hair white and grew out her ears to make them look longer. She looked completely different, she dashed out of the dark, old cave.

     Its really happening shes leaving the cave, she has not seen the sun in ages. This is great, shes leaving today, the warmth of the suns rays beating down on her skin. She just cant wait to bathe in the beautiful light of the sun; just the way her parents held her on a warm sunny day. She can learn how to fight on her own, catch her own pray, but the odd thing was she always had meals in the morning when she woke up. She doesn't know how but she thinks its a guardian angel. She can finally see it, the exit, the light of the sun 

     "I can almost touch it..." she said in a sweet way. Her warm voice filled the tunnel with a tiny echo. Before she knew it, she was outside, the warm sun felt just the way she imagined.  She put a hand up, it was so bright. She shut her eyes tight, it was really bright. She blinked a couple of times as she got used to it. Monica glanced around looking at the beautiful atmosphere, its so much prettier than a boring cave. Then she looked at the water. The water was moving, Monica scampered down the bright, green, grassy hill until she reached a beach. She tapped her foot on the sand once, until she took one step on the sand.  Her bare feet were hot, but the sand was soft. It was just like her fur, just like a wolf groomed. It was like standing on top of water. Monica laughed, she had a long hard laugh. Until she found her self laying in the sand. The sand was so warm, it was like laying on a warm heated bed that she wished she had the whole time.

     Monica arose and brushed her self off.

     "Having fun there?" a mysterious voice chuckled from behind her. She jumped in surprise 

     "Hello Monica" the man grinned. 

     "Who- who are you" Monica gasped quickly. 

     "No-no not at all, I'm the one who has been giving you food this whole time every morning!" 

     "My guardian angel?" she looked at him in surprise. The bird like man chuckled 

     "I don't know about an angel, but guardian i guess?... I have been watching you for 21 years Monica, ever since your parents died" he sighed. "Don't be sad Monica, i want to teach you everything i know, not about birds since i am one, but about wolfs. Speaking of birds I believe you have wings." Cody acknowledged. 

     "I-I do?" Monica blurted 

     "Lets not get to that just yet, first things first. What do you want to know?" 

     "Um, okay... why is the water moving?" she asked 

     "Of course wolfs believe the the spirits of the seven moons move the water, but I honestly think its the wind or currents." Cody looked at the water stupidly.

     "Oh..." Monica said puzzled. 

     "How about we meet other people? That's a good start." Cody suggested. Monica nodded in agreement. "Alright-y then, lets go!" Cody ended
