Blood Moon

25 : Phases of the Moon

°°Previously°°

Telling something to Jarred that I couldn't comprehend.

He wrapped his shirt around me saying something.

Not being able to consentrate through the pain and the dizziness.

I allowed myself to succumb to the darkness and let it surround me.

°°°°°°°°

I woke up to the sound of beeping and the shuffling of feet in the distance. I opened my eyes but shut them dude to the bright light. A feeling of dej'a'vou washed over me.

This time I opened them slowly allowing my eyes to adjust. Once they fully adjusted, I looked and saw that the bright light was coming from a bed lamp and the beeping was coming from an alarm clock.

Looking around the room I saw that I was in my old bedroom the one from before the pack house. The one that burnt in the fire.

Confusion set in as I looked around, everything looked as I remembered.
Sitting up I rubbed my forehead wondering what was going on. The Blaring sound continued but I paid no mind to it.

Footsteps came out my door and I saw the door open to find my mom.

"Claire hurry up we need to get you to school! Honestly, what time did you go to bed last night? Your breakfast is getting cold so finish up and get downstairs", she left mubbling someone about teenagers these days.

In a daze I walked and put on a white dress walking down the stairs. This has to be some sort of dream or illusion even, what ever it was i had no idea wether to love it or hate it.

As I walked down the familiar stairs that had photographs lining the walls I walked to the kitchen.

There she was, my mom was pouring coffee into a mug while my dad was eating his pancakes reading the newspaper.

"Honestly, these humans have nothing else but fight with each other", he said shaking his head, "I mean you could swear they were half animal".

"I know hun, I still don't know why you even attempt to read this", taking the newspaper out of his hands and folding it up, much to my dad's distate.

He growled playfully trying to grab it from her, she giggled and got herself out of his grasp.

Smiling he continued with his pancakes not before saying, "Well if it lands on my doorstep every other morning what do expect me to do leave it there unopened or better yet throw it away? That would be a waste for someone's day, somewhere."

Shaking her head my mom laughed taking a seat. As she did she looked up and saw me.

"Claire, honey why are you standing there honey? Come and eat your breakfast before its cold", she looked at my dad and how he was shuveling his food down, "Or before your father eats it all" we laughed lightly while I took a seat.

With a mouthful of food he mubbled "What? I'm a hungry alpha!"

Which only made us laugh even more.

I sat down and looked at my plate, I slowly began to eat my food savouring each and every bite. Noone in the whole wide world could cook like my mom, and when she died I tried but it was never the same.

Shaking my head I looked up to find both my parents looking at me with worry.

"Honey?", my mom said gently "Are you alright?"

"For now yes I'm better than alright", I said with a smile.

But what I ment to say was for now I'm great until I wake up from this  wonderful dream and your gone again.

My dad eventually got up leaning over to kiss my mom and ruffled my hair.

"And I shall see you two beautiful ladies when I get back", he said as he slung his work satchel over his shoulder, walking out the shouting an '''I love you's ''' .

My mom then looked to me smiling playfully. I couldn't help but feel saddened by that fact. Her smile could have brightened up any day and now that I started to think about it ever since she died those bright days became duller.

"Are sure you are good honey? You look a little under the weather, is it because of your science test today? I am sure you are going to do well I mean you studied so hard", she said all while brushing a few strands from my face.

Leaning into her touch, I breathed in deeply.

"No, I am okay I just want to tell you how much I love you and when your gone ill miss you so much."

"Aww, honey its just going to school ill be here when you get back. And ill tell you what we can stop by at that ice cream parlour you've been raving about? How does that sound?"

Nodding I got up and grabbed my school case and walked to the front door. I paused, turned around and engulfed her in a huge hug surprising her. As I broke away I turned and said, "Ill see you after school mom!"

I walked down the stairs and walking down the porch steps on my way to school.

The world started to spin the further i walked way from my house but shrugging it off I kept on walking.
