บททั้งหมดของ The Midnight Moon Howls My Name: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

It’s a seven-hour drive to the cabin. I’m almost there but the trip is definitely starting to drag. I used to love long drives; especially with Carly. I miss the times we would spontaneously ditch work to go on an adventure. We would make a special playlist and stock up on all our favourite snacks. Sometimes we would drive for hours with no destination and solve all the problems of the world. My heart sinks with sadness as I realize it will probably never happen again.I turn up my music in an attempt to forget about how she destroyed our friendship.I look out my window the forest here is so dense you cannot see very far in. I haven’t seen a car since I turned off the highway and that was miles ago. I live in the city and most days there is bumper to bumper traffic.The air here feels lighter. I take in a deep breathe and before I can release it a red wolf darts out of nowhere running in front of my car. I slam on my breaks, swerve and close my eyes expecting the hit the wolf dead

A few days have passed and I’m eating breakfast at the table. Go the first time in a long time I’m not sad. Liam and I agreed to stay at the cabin together, we never did got ahold of the owner of the cabin for answers.Staying with Liam has been easy, he’s very quiet and keeps to himself most of the time. He spends a lot of the day in the forest and I spend a lot of time watching movies.I wonder what he’s doing out there.I hear his bedroom door open and his foot steps down the hall.“What are you doing today?” He chirps.“Same as every other day I’ve been here, nothing” I joke.“Come on, let’s get some fresh air” he suggests “you haven’t left this cabin in days. It’s not healthy and you’re going to start to smell.”I laughed. Im a bit worried about the wolf I thought I saw, but there’s been no sign of it.I get dressed and meet him outside.“This way, it leads to a cliff with a nice view” he begins walking.I follow him and we walk side by side through the mature trees.“I have bee

“Those wolves, I think they wanted something from us. Do you think they needed our help?” I asked. One of them did lead me to that weird place. “Come on don’t worry about them, they will be fine.” He said pulling me forward. How does he know that? It doesn’t really matter because after what I just saw I don’t want to be out here in the dark longer than I already have been, so I let him lead the way hoping he knows where we are going. I hear a roar in the distance, that’s so loud the trees around us shake. “What was that?” I asked my voice trembling. “Don’t worry, it’s nothing that can hurt you. Probably just a bear.” he reassured me, but he also picked up the pace. The moon is now covered by clouds and I can’t see two feet infront of us. Im starting to wonder if we are even safe in that small cabin?Within minutes I see the light coming through the windows. The cabin was this close by, how did I get so turned around?“I feel like I walked a lot farther than this” I said

I’m running as fast as I can, I turn to look behind me and see a creature with spikes all over its head grab the red wolf, rip her head off and swallow the body without chewing. The creature sees me and comes barrelling towards me. What is that thing? I am too scared to scream. I jerk awake- a dream. Despite that awful dream and the lumpy couch, I feel well rested. I peek into Liam’s room and he is still fast asleep, now I wont have to explain why I wasn’t in bed with him. Walking past my bedroom reminds me of last night. What the hell happened? Bzzz. I hear my phone vibrating in the corner. I walk through the minefield of wood shards to see who it is. It’s Carly, what does she want? Can’t she take a hint. The text says “I really need to talk to you, please call me, I’m sorry.”She’s only sorry she got caught. “You’re up early” Liam startles me. I drop my phone.“Shit” I bend over to pick it up and the screen is cracked. “Sorry” he runs his fingers through his hair.

“Tell me what is going on” I demanded once we are inside, “why did I hear that wolf talking in my mind?”“You should probably sit down first” he told me pulling out a chair for me. He was probably right, I was feeling a bit woozy from being hit over the head. “You’re going to think I am crazy” he said.Between the glowing hands and talking wolf, I already thought I had gone completely mad. “Just tell me already, what the fuck is going on? Do you know what that thing was in the cave?” I cried. “That creature is a demon from the underworld and I am a werewolf” he started. I laughed “that’s not possible.”None of this was possible. Underworld, like hell?“Willow, I need you to be open minded” he said, “I need you to believe in things you were told didn’t exist your whole life.”I stare at him in disbelief “prove it.”“I’ll do whatever you need” He changes form into the beautiful white wolf I saw in the cave and then back into a human. I rub my eyes. I can’t believe what I
