What Happened Last Night?

Ethan's POV

The morning was sunny and beautiful. Last night's dew were still on top of the grass and leaves, making them look like sparkling diamond beads.

After washing up myself at the stream, I went back to my yard - a small area infront of my tiny hut where I planted some of the wild flowers.

At least, something that represents that I'm not entirely a wild untamed beast!

Morning dew was still on them - the flowers. I breathed in the fresh pure wild scent of the newly bloomed buds which filled the entire morning wind.

After a while,I went inside my house to feed Mr. Fatso and also to have my usual typical breakfast.

"Intruder! Intruder!"

Mr. Fatso started to bicker when I went inside. No idea why.

"Stop making noises Fatso!"

I pecked his beak.

"Intruder!"

He didn't stop but starting to make a rattling sound and I couldn't help but covering his cage with a dark black veil.

"Hah! There you go!"

Silence at last!

I calmly ate my breakfast while looking around. Yeah,last night was a rough one. I couldn’t remember what I did after the transformation. Right that moment,I just saw some mud stains which were dried by that time allover the whole place. There was a tiny staircase at the middle of the room which went straight up to the attic. I saw mud marks and scratching on the staircase handles too.

"Hah,did I take a mud bathe last night?"

I chuckled to myself.

The problem is that - I can't actually remember about the time of my transformation - what I do,where I go or whom I hurt or kill - no memory at all. Everytime, I wake up at different places and find myself in a situation the next morning. There were a very little periods of time when I found myself inside of my hut -luckily, last night was one of them.

Last time, I found myself submerged into the lake water. Previously,at a tree top!

One time,it was just a close shot that I didn’t die! I found myself at the top of the mountain, half dead almost. When I finally gained consciousness, my head was spinning to see my body hanging halfway from the mountain ridge. I froze with fear but tried to move little by little. It took me around 2 days to find my house inside of the woods that time.

Yes,you can say, apart from the transformation time,I'm actually like a normal human being with no extra wolfish supernatural power... That's the main difference from an actual werewolf to a half-breed. Pure-breed werewolves can transform themselves whenever they want, wherever they want and it depends on their willpower. They also posses inhuman mighty powers and their agility in movement is incredible. I lack all of those pure-breed wolfish character as my mother was a mere human being. Human blood running through my veins is the reason why I'm lacking in this possessions.

It would be perfect if things were just like what mom said. Living like an actual human doesn’t seem like an odd idea. But,,,I just can't do that - Whether I want or not, each and every full moon night is a curse for me. It reminds me that,I'm cursed to have wolf blood inside of my vein that always tries to come out every full moon night, making it hard for me to accept who I am. As if, the wolf inside of me tries to come out of the human boundary of my body, and gains full strength at that time of the night. Though I try so hard,I can't control it at any cost!

What if my mom was wrong?

What if I won't be able to control it my entire life?

Will I become like an actual werewolf like my father was when the day comes or will I be able to fight back the wolf inside of me to decide how I want to lead my life - as a human or as a werewolf? Will I be able to gain all the wolf-power then like a pure-breed?

"This choice is yours."

I was so startled that I suddenly jumped out of fear as I could clearly hear a strange voice talking inside of my head.

Was I dreaming? Or did I actually hear it? Who could it be? There's no way anyone could talk to me sitting inside of my head, right? Was I becoming crazy?

I uncovered Mr. Fatso's cage. I didn’t want to be alone at that time - I wanted company to assure me that nothing was wrong inside of me...

"Intruder!"

There he went again!

"Stop it!"

I threw back the veil over the cage.

"There's no point!" I covered my face and sat on the ground.

Probably, my life would always be like that - cursed!

It would be easier if I were a pure-breed wolf,not someone as half-breed as me!

"Hello,,,anybody here?"

I was pondering over the thoughts when I heard a vague female voice coming out from the attic.

I was so surprised and looked up the staircase. It was dark at the other end but I was sure somebody was up there.

"Hello,anybody?"

I heard the shaky voice once again. That time, it sounded more muffled and weak.

Who could it be? And how could it be even possible?

I stood up and slow by slow,went near the staircase.

Should I have something on me to protect myself? I looked around but saw nothing particular. Hence I took a bundle of rope in case anything happened....

I took slow but strong steps,all of my nerves vigilant,and reached at the top of the staircase.

It took a little while to cope with the darkness of the place as there was only a tiny sunroof there, right now which was closed. Only some little rays of sunlight coming out from here and there, making the attic even more cryptic.

I twitched my eyes for a few times to see more clearly.

"What an useless wolf I am!"

I said to myself.

Though I should be alert and alarmed at that time,I felt a sudden bit of anger for not being able to see in the dark like the pure-breed wolves!

My eyes searching through the dark when I saw someone lying at the corner. At first, it felt like something piling up there. When I went a little bit closer, I saw the unconscious body of someone lying at my attic!

"Oh,hell no!"

I quickly moved and held the person. My eyes were completely adapted to the darkness at that time and I could clearly see a figure of a fainted girl lying on my grasp,covering with blood allover her body!
