Black Moon (Currently Editing)

My eyes burn.

My body feels as though ice cackled through every vein.
My hair begins to darken and grow in thick curls.
A pain like frosted razors slices throughout my throat. I choke out a scream. I dig my teeth into my bottom lip, refusing to scream again. Hot, liquid flows front my lip onto my chin, dripping onto the floor's surface in front of me. Tears lace down my cheeks and cool the hot blood dripping onto my chin.

I force my eyes to open. Through thick lashes I stare up at the moon as it is slowly wrapped in a velvet of black.

"How?" I choke out through a scream.

The ice settles into a pit in my stomach, leaving me to feel as though I was stabbed a thousand times over. Pain rips down my back and shoulders into my hands. Through blurry vision I watch as my nails begin to grow into strong feline like points. I scream out again through ragged breaths as my mouth begins to bleed. I let out a sharp gasp of air as I feel razor like canines scrape the inside of my mouth.

A low whine escapes my lips as I try to stand. The pain is worsening. I carelessly try to walk away, desperately trying to find light in this night of darkness.

Then I fall. Everything translates into a colder and darker sleep than that I have ever known.

My eyes slowly begin to open after what feels like decades.

I am a stranger to my own body.
