Chapter 4: First shift

It was midnight when I felt my bones cracking. I stumbled down the hallway, tumbled down the stairs, made it to the front door when I grunted at the pain. I was alone again like always. No one to help my trough the pain.

I went outside and collapsed onto the grass to see a full moon. I finally screamed out in pain as more of my bones started to crack. I screamed out, "What is happening to me!? What kind of torture is this!?" Lights turned on in the house and footsteps sounding meaning that people heard me. I was crying now.

"Chianne! Just breathe!" Someone called out and I did what they told me. Then the pain was gone to hear a bunch of people gasp out if surprise. All I thought was, "What are they gasping at? Do I have something on my face?"

"Chianne?" My adopted father, John, asked as he came up to me and started petting me.... Wait! What!? He's petting me!? Am I a pet or something!? Then I looked down at the ground to see paws instead of hands. I was shocked. What am I? Was my parents also this way? Was what kept going through my head. I some how sat down and stared at John.

"Think of yourself as a human again." John said before backing up some.

So I did what he said and though of myself as myself again. My bones started to crack again and I just gritted my teeth until I felt a warm breaze. I stayed still passed out from all the pain.

(Johns POV)

I was close to falling asleep when I heard someone scream out from outside, "What is happening to me!? What kind of torture is this!?" I turned on my light and ran down stairs to get to Chianne.

She was close to shifting to her wolf at such a young age. I saw-more heard-people come out of the house to help. Then she was down shifting, she was shaking slightly.

"Chianne?" I called out her name as I went to her and started petting her. Her wolf is a beautiful, a midnight black wolf. So rare to see anymore. "Think of yourself as a human again." She closed her eyes and gritted her teeth before she turned back to human. She was too still on the ground meaning that she blacked out.

I gently picked her up ad carried her back to her room before mind linking the pack doctor. He came up and checked her out. "She is weak. She will probably be out for some time. Let her rest and check up on her."

(Chianne's POV)

"Hello Chianne." Someone said. I spun around to see a women in a flowing white dress.

"Who are you?" I asked in confusion.

"I am the moon goddess. I can to you to let you know that you are the last pure wolf."

"Wait, so I am actually a wolf? What can't I wake up?"

"Yes you are actually a wolf. You can't wake up because you blacked out from the sudden shift. My dear I know you have lots of questions and they will be answered."

"What happened to my actual parents?" When I asked that another women appeared holding hands with a man.

"Hi daughter." The women said as the man said, "Hello Chianne."

"Mom? Dad?" I asked. "What happened? What was I in a orphanage?"

"We were the last of a pack called Dark Moon. When you were born a war was going on. I ran with two protectors with you in my arms. I placed you in a orphanage hopping you would be taken care of there. I ran back to help with the war but was killed in the border of the territor. Your father was also killed to protect you and the pack. Everyone died that day besides you." Then they disappeared.
