Metamorphosis

- a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Change; we all go through changes whether good or bad. Change is a need for everything, life requires change. 

The sun has gone to rest, the moon takes his place as the darkness begins to circles me. The forest looks different at night the once slightly eerie feeling in the day alters into a chilling terrifying atmosphere. The moon shines like a beacon and guides her through the night.

Damp leafs, barks and sticks bruise my pads of paws. Water drips down her fur making her shiver. She has no control over what she is doing, it was like she was watching herself through a screen.  This is what she is inside, a monster.  In other words a freak, beast or a creature of the night. Dark brown fur, glowing white-yellowish eyes with sharp fangs. This is the change she goes through and this change is something she loathes.

This is the part of herself that she hates and tries to hide. Shifting was never volunteered but instead from intense emotions such as anger. Around the full moon, she would become more agitated and easily angry which causes her to shift. Shifting is such a painful process and her head throbs at remembering the pain she faces. This is why she separates herself from others and is an introvert. Her kind heart makes her afraid that she will hurt somebody. She knew that her being distant is killing her boyfriend inside.

She never understood why he was still with her; she wasn't giving coochie and only less than half of her heart. He always knew that she was hiding something from him but he never thought it was cheating. He also knew that for them to progress any further with their relationship, --- needed to find out what the secret is no matter how good or bad it is. 

Three weeks into their relationship Algee knew that (Y/N) was the woman who he wanted to spend the rest of his life with and have a family with. At the time, he might of. Algee loves (Y/N) with all his heart and he could only hope that one day she will love him just as much back.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Algee's knows that this is an invasion of privacy but he knows that (Y/N) will never tell him this. It's been a year, Algee can't see (Y/N) ever telling him. So he is deciding on trying to find out on his own or at least a clue to what she might be hiding so he can better understand her. This explains why he is the forest with a torch looking for her. 

Algee saw her running into the forest so he can hope he can find her before morning. Every whisper of sound in the dark and damp forest makes him flinch. Soon he walks into a clearing in the heart of the forest. The moonlight streams through the gaps in the trees and makes light hit the water droplets on the grass that make it sparkle. 

The furious growling of a wolf scares the wits out of Algee and he turns around to see almost black fur with glowing light yellow coloured eyes glaring at me. Algee somehow feels a familiarity with the wolf. The wolf's eyes to him look a bit human. The wolf begins to prowl towards him as if an attack was the first on her mind.

Algee tries to remember what they say when your being attacked by a dog. 'Dogs and wolves are very similar right?', Algee thinks, 'I don't think it would respond to human language but I will try.'

"Stop, I won't hurt you," Algee says with a deep voice. "I also don't have anything to hurt you with so..."

The wolfs eyes flicker to (e/c) he is so familiar too. Algee has always found myths and legends interesting but always knew they were not true. Seeing (e/c) disappears all doubt and remind him of (Y/N) behaviour. She is always quiet and shy which means she isn't the person to reach out to the other so Algee would have to reach out to her.  A couple days during the month she would just completely shut him off, Algee just assumes that it was her monthly cycle but not this type of cycle. 

Yeah, he is just jumping the boot but his gut is telling him that its true. The wolf's eyes stop flickering colour but one slight move of hand changes it back to the glowing yellow. Before Algee could react, the wolf pounces on him and bites his arm. 

The pain of the bite doesn't register because of the shock. The wolf starts making a sound which sounds like whimpering. To Algee, it was too late to go back so he just pets the wolf hoping that it will let go his arm.

The wolf lets go of his arm and blood slowly gushes out of his arm. He holds his arm applying pressure to stop the bleeding. It isn't a deep wound which he thanks God for. The wolf sits staring at him with (e/c) and begins to shrink in size. Before he could comprehend it the wolf changes into the love of his life; (Y/N).

In the dark, he can see tears falling from her eyes and she just pulls him into a hug as (Y/N) cries into his shoulder. Algee thinks, 'She bites me but she is the one crying.'

Algee knew that what he found today will surprise him but he knew he would never stop loving her. Her good and bad sides are what makes her; (Y/N) and it is what he fell in love with.

In the night, the moon takes his place as the darkness follows. The forest looks different at night the once slightly eerie feeling in the day alters into a chilling terrifying atmosphere.

...

But this time the moonlight shines on the embracing couple in the clearing at the heart of the forest.

I wanted a sweeter ending but I came up with this and I'm sticking to it.
