Once upon a Full Moon

Chapter 1- Mornings Suck.

"Quinny!!! You have to get up! Do you want to miss your first day of Grade 11?" I moaned and rolled over in my bed. It was 6:25am. My bus came at 7:05am. And I still had to shower and get dressed and do my hair and things. I opened my eyes and squinted at the bright lights of the morning. Since I'm a werewolf, bright lights can hurt my eyes if I wasn't expecting them.

And shit, I wasn't expecting to wake up under the sun. I drag myself out of my bed and look around my room. My room is a soft grey, a calming colour my mom said when she painted it and I got home from Arksveiw Elementary School. My mom had been trying to do everything as peacefully and calmly as possible. Especially now, since my power came out. At first my mom and dad were worried that I would grow up to have a feral temper... Ha! Were they ever right!

Life is very different now that we're rouges... Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that. So yeah, we're rouges. Alpha Syhelo kicked my parents out of the pack because when I was born-me having one red eye an all,- was supposed to be given up to the Alpha family immediately to be taken care of. And never see my family again. And lots of other, uh, fun stuff....

Just in case I grew up to have an unharness-able temper and could have other problems. Ha, I guess it was kinda good to kick us out for that reason! I for one, am a die-hard rebel and rule breaker. I'm 5"6, I have milk white skin that would laugh at the thought of tanning, Short, jagged light brown hair with a black dip-dye, and of course, one sea blue eye and one deep red eye.

But enough about me. Whatever. I have a best friend, she's also a werewolf. Her name's Heaven, she has medium length light blond hair, mischievous hazel eyes and tan skin. She's 5"5, and although she's not a die-hard rebel like yours truly, she's a troublemaker and a wicked party girl.

6:50am. I jump in the shower and wash faster than I thought I could. I hop out and check my dripping hair. Dip-dye is all good, I just dyed it 3 days ago so I didn't want it dripping at all. I brush my teeth and walk out after putting in my ivory spike plugs and my white sparkly anchor belly-button ring. Pawing through my clothes I see the perfect outfit. A light blue tight v-neck t-shirt with a grey bandeau, a black puffy little-higher-than-mid-thigh mini-skirt, black and white stripped tights. I walk over to my makeup mirror and put on some cat-eye eyeliner, a little mascara, and some black lipstick. I leave my pin-straight jagged hair down and walk down stairs to grab my pre-packed bags.

Shit, it's was 7:02am. I jump into my camo converse (yeah I know, but I'm obsessed with camouflage) I pat my hip checking that I have my phone. I hear the squeal of tires and peek out the window. Bus.

I throw the door open. "Bye Mom and Dad! Love you!! So what I said I love you to my Mom and Dad? I might be a rebel but my parents are the only good thing I have in my life other than Heaven.

"Bye sweetheart." My mom says and emerges from the living room where she and my dad had been leisurely sipping their vanilla frappes and watching the morning news. "Tell Heaven I said hi and have a great day Quinny. No big problems today, Kay Hun?" I smirk. "Really Quinn, I mean it. Your dad has to go out west tomorrow evening to make new allies and I'm going up to Texas to visit your Aunt Denaia and Uncle Theorn.

"Well, bye Mom." I hold back the tears that are pricking at the corners of my eyesI love you." I choke out. I love my mom and dad so much. They are the only adults that actually care about me and even though I'm completely rebellious,

I love them. Yes, I have a soft side, okay? Just deal with it.

But... I wonder how the fist day is going to be?
