I woke up on the one day that determined my future. The one day that I realized life is short and you have to live it. The one day, I actually realized I have to start a family and grow up.
I sat in a chair infront of a mirror, my hands in fist making my knuckles white, my hot breath hanging soft dew on the mirror while I leaned closely. I stared at myself, looking over my features, the new me. I swallow, this is THE day. I stand up pushing my hands at my sides. I stood there with only my bra and panties on, I was getting dressed and doing everything I needed for only three hours later.
The ceremonies dress laid on the closed toilet top. I pick up the black silky fabric and slip it on, it had a cut out in the back that went halfway down my back in a deep 'U' shape. The dress had a short train and was slightly higher in the front brushing my ankles. There was nothing wrong with the dress, it was almost perfect, the slight raise in the front, the laid way it fit on her bringing out the shape of her body, the cut in the back, even to the ruffles on the side.
Appealing. Just appealing in my eyes.
My curled hair fell over and past my shoulders. My lips were paid painted red and eye liner was thick on my eyes. I never have seen myself like this, all dressed up. I can't remember the last time I actually put on a dress.
The door of the small cabin rattled and my uncles voice shouted. "Jess, it's time, come on, we have to walk to the well." Ah, the well, a secret well actually. I would cut my hand with a knife used for generations and cut my forearm, and let three drops of blood into the well. The well is placed under the full moon for this day of every year. I don't know much about the ceremony, other then that and we have to kill a large animal. But its not a normal animal, it only come out on days like this and humans can't see them as they are, but as a moose.
I exit the small bathroom and slipped on the black and colorful tribal ankle bracelets. I needed to go barefoot, it was a rule. I step out of the door and the moon was out and it was completely dark. My feet touched the fresh yet cold grass. My toes curl as I walk with my uncle who said nothing, but gave me a long glance when he first saw me.
"Are you excited?" He finally asks when we are less then a third of a mile from the well.
"Not truly. Yes I like the idea of where this will take me, but not where it will come with." I say truthfully, he nods then stops. I look ahead and see a fire, there it was. The ceremony of the future. My future.
I nod at him and began walking once again, quicker this time with a look of power etched on my face. Everyone looked up as I stood infront of them, some smiles, some completely star struck. I try to smile back but it's all slurred.
The introduction, is like water against my ears and I can't hear correctly, I hear only my breaths and the pounding of my heart. I look around, but it makes no since and I see people cheer and clap, but I can't remember why. So many faces stared at me while clapping, the red glow of the fire tinted their faces and made their eyes glow. Shadows seeped everywhere, like lost souls ready to grab me. I look at my Uncle, he turned smiling and handed me the cleaned family knife. I take the heavy metal in my hands, the metal swirled enchantingly around the leather grip. It laid in my hands as I stared at it.
"Go on." A slurred voice said and I turn the knife over in my hands, I then picked it up turning the inside of my forearm out. I placed the knife's point to the middle gently then looked up to see nodding and smiling. I swallowed, hearing that more then anything.
I pressed the knife, piercing my skin and dragging it downwards to about an inch. The searing pain made me stop and pull the knife away and the blood bubbled to my skin. The knife and taken away and I turn to the well holding my arm over and watching the drops go into the water tinting it a little.
I turn around slightly more aware now. I feel blood drip down my arm but I ignore it. Everyone stands up and I am handed the knife again, it has more of my blood then I thought. How deep did I cut?
"Now, Jess will let you lick some of the blood off of her knife, symbolizing that we are together, rough and thin. We are family, my blood runs in your blood to." Uncles voice says majestically. I look at the first person infront of me, he smiled and bowed his head muttering "Thank you." I raised the knife to him and he licked a decent amount off, leaving the rest for the others. I felt like throwing up the whole time, but I kept my place.
As soon as it was finished I gave the knife back to my Uncle. "Jess will now turn into her wolf form and will go after the hunt." He says and I do so, the pain in my mouth and getting slightly shorter. I look up at the pack members and they're bowing infront of me, then I feel a jolt, something inside of me, like it was saying that I have accomplished something and I need it for this one thing. Then I black out, everything is cold for a second, then I face a hideous animal, that almost scared the crap out of me.
The beast had three heads, a tail, wings and fangs. It was twice the size as me, but it oozed danger. It spotted me and hissed. I approached it snapping at its neck and clinging to it until it threw me off. I landed on my side. I tried to get to my feet but it knocked me down and a sharp pain slices my side. I managed to get my claws around its thought, clawing dangerously until I had it on its side. I panted limping away trying to spare me some time.
I thought it died until it flew and knocked me over biting my muzzle, wanting to suck the air out of my lungs, the kiss of death. I started to see dark spots when I heard a voice. "You, can, will do it. Come on Jess." Said the voice, I struggled opening my mouth wide enough to hear a crunch in one of the things jaws. It went limp for a second, that head disappeared. I knew I could have it now. I know I did. I bit the two of its slim snake like necks in my mouth, my teeth shredding it as I twisted. More cracks. I let go, watching the life leave it's eyes.
Yes. I thought. Yes.
Then I went black again, except this time I woke up in human form laying on the floor of the earth in the middle of my pack members. I breathed hard opening my eyes and sitting up. I was fine, in fact it had all been a test hallucination.
"She did it." Whispers went around in shock. I couldn't help but smile. I did it. I stood up as everyone else did. "Jess, your, the new pack leader." My uncle said taking my hand and smiling.
It was a happy moment, but what happened as we were walking through the woods to go and celebrate at an abandoned building we kept up, it turned sides.
