Becoming The Luna

Christina POV

“The man threatened to cut off my penis if I didn’t allow him to kill my wife,” A man standing on a stage with a bunch of adults and teenagers listening to him takes a deep breath before continuing his life story.

“-but jokes on him, my wife didn’t die that night, she came back to life after she was shot in the head. It was a miracle!” He screams and all the people clap and scream with joy in their hearts.

Humans tend towards believing the worst shit. How can anyone blabber about how their partner died and came back to life and others believe?

“What the hell is going on in there?” I turn around and my brown eyes clash with blue ones that squint as they notice me staring. Elsa.

“Probably a bunch of weirdos trying to convince each other that their lives are more interesting than others,” I said while we walked past the tell-all hallroom.

I paused and looked at her again.

“What are you doing here anyway?” I ask knowing she’s meant to be in her chemistry class right now.

She places her hands on her slim waist and tilts her heart-shaped face sideways causing her blonde hair to sway. I have always been jealous of her pale skin. I unfortunately have tanned skin that makes me look like a Latino.

“Where are you heading to?” she asks, completely ignoring my question. “Elsa, you can’t answer a question with a question.” I roll my eyes.

“Fine, I got bored and saw you passing our class through the window. I came out to see what you were doing.” She says while playing with her hair.

“I forgot my school bag at home,” I say knowing she’s about to start judging me as always, but what are friends for?

She starts to laugh and I roll my eyes again.

“Don’t even ask, I honestly don’t know how I forgot it. I’m going back home to get it.” I continue walking and she catches up to me.

“I’m coming with you, no one will even notice I’m gone.” She winks and I smile.

My place isn’t that far from our school. My dad insisted on finding a high school that was near him, he’s so overprotective over me. My mom on the other hand could care less as long as I go to school.

We reached there in no time and I knocked on the door expecting one of my parents to open the door. It was very early and I hadn’t even attended my first class when I noticed my school bag was missing. They both don’t leave for work till after I’ve had my second class so I’m sure they’ll both still be inside.

“Hey, Christina...are you sure they're inside?” Elsa asks because I’ve been knocking for a while without saying a word.

“I don’t understand.. they are usually up and awake by this time.” I sigh.

“Have you ever tried turning the doorknob?” She asks like I’m the dumbest person on earth. “They always lock the door, trust me, it’s not going to be open.”

I know how strict my dad is about locking the house. My hand disagrees with me because I don’t even notice when it grabs the handle and pulls it down till I see the door creak open.

“See, there we go. That wasn’t so hard now was it?” She emphasizes her statement by shaking her head and throwing out her hands.

Usually, I would be amused by her but right now I had a bad feeling that something was wrong. My parents would never leave the door open and they sure as hell would never have opened the door even if they were awake.

I ignored the feeling and decided not to say anything because I didn’t want to make Elsa panic. I pushed the door open and the moment I stepped in I instantly regretted it. Everything in the living room is a mess. The TV is upside down on the floor, the couches have shifted from their original spot and they all have scratches on them like some kind of animal was tearing them. The house is a simple duplex but right now I wish it was the size of a hut because it would be so much easier to locate my parents.

I heard a gasp and that’s when I remembered that Elsa was still here with me. I looked in her direction and saw that she was staring at the stairs.

“What the fuck.” She says and places a hand on her chest.

I took a deep breath and looked at the staircase, what I saw had me paralyzed on the spot. There is blood dripping on every single staircase.

I finally heard a noise coming from my dad's room and I don’t even know how I got the courage to move but I managed to regain my strength.

“Elsa, I need you to call 911 and run back to your house.” I held her shoulders as I spoke with a shaky voice.

“No.. no- I can’t just-”

“This is not the time Elsa!” I yell. “Get the fuck out and call the cops, tell them to get an ambulance down here now!”

She nods and runs away and all the strength I thought I had just a second ago vanishes and I find myself holding the wall as I sidestep the mess on the floor.

I walked all the way upstairs ignoring the blood because I would vomit if I stared at it. Once I reached the top, I followed the trail of blood which led straight to my dad's room.

On my way there I saw about four dead men on the floor. They're all covered in black clothing and they all have masks on. I gulp.

I finally reached my dad's room but the door was closed so I used my leg to kick it open slowly. The first thing I saw was two men in black choking my father. They all couldn’t see me because they were facing my dad and their bodies were blocking my father's view. I didn’t react but looking down, I saw my mother's limp body oozing out blood. The blood is scattered everywhere around her body.

This time I couldn’t hold it in. I screamed so loud that I probably broke all of my vocals as my voice slowly died. I looked back at my dad and saw that they had all noticed my presence due to my scream. The two men in black looked at me instead of focusing on my dad which gave him an opening that he used to bang their heads together and he did it so hard that I heard their skulls clash.

I expected the two men to fall and bleed out but they seemed to be fine even with the blood coming out of their heads. I thought this would be the most unreal thing I’d see today but nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to see.

My dad's entire body starts to shake and elongate, it happens so fast that once I finish blinking, I don’t see three men in the room anymore, it’s only two and one huge gigantic Wolf. Dog? I don’t know what the hell that is but the only correct description would be a werewolf.

The werewolf who I believe to be my dad jumps on the two men and kills them using his teeth just as they are about to start becoming hairy and transform. Those two men weren’t humans either? What the fuck.
