Guardians Of The Moon, October Sky [distant reading .txt] 📗

was very pretty with her shoulder length brown hair and her honey colored eyes.
“Hey Kayla.” I said laughing. “How are you today?”
“I’m great!” She said shouting at me. Kayla always seemed to be in a good mood. There are a few werewolves that go to school here since most thought that since they had this wonderful gift they didn’t need to go to school.
“Um we better get to our next class or we’ll be late.” Ulric said.
“OMG Ulric I didn’t see you there.” She hugged him then came back and hugged me again.
“See you at the mating grounds.” Then she ran off down the hall.
“She is always hyper.” Ulric said shaking his head. We both walked off to out next class which was Ancient Mythology. I’ve always been in love with mythology. Ulric only took the class since it was an easy A.
We both got to class and sat down. Ulric again sat right next to me. I’m beginning to think the teachers have a funny sense of humor. I felt someone tap my shoulder and turned around to see Macey standing there.
“What do you want?” I said turning back in my seat.
“Oh nothing really. Only one thing.” She said and I could hear the smile in her voice. Macey was fairly pretty with her red hair and green eyes. She always got the guys human or werewolf.
“And what is that one thing?” I asked already knowing the answer. She leaned down and whispered into my ear.
“I want Ulric.” Then she turned on her heel and went to take her seat in front of Ulric. Why did I let her get under my skin? I mean she’s 19 but I turn 18 in a week so she’s not that much older than me. Ok she’s prettier and smarter and let’s face it she has more experience than I ever will but I will not give up on Ulric.
The rest of the day was a blur and by the end of it I was dying to get out into the woods. Tonight was the orange moon and it always felt magical to run under it. I saw Gabriel’s truck and ran to it.
“You’re here early.” I said climbing into the passenger seat.
“Yeah tonight’s the orange moon remember? So we're going up into the mountains.” He smiled at me his chocolate eyes filled with nothing but joy. Gabriel and me almost looked the same except he had his chocolate eyes and he has darker skin then I did.
“Where’s Ulric?” He asked looking past me.
“I don’t know I saw Macey pull him off to the side after class.” I said calmly. Gabriel just looked at me.
“What?” I glared.
“Nothing I just thought you would be pissed that she’s moving in on your man.” He said quietly.
“My man? Gabriel he’s not mine I don’t even think he likes me.”
“Luna I’m just trying to help.” He sighed.
“Well don’t I can take care of myself.” I leaned back into my seat just as Ulric climbed into the car.
“Sorry I’m late.” He said and closed the door.
“Well we better hurry so we can get to the mountains before nightfall.” Gabriel drove off and went straight for the mountains. It was about 7 by time we reached the mountains peeks.
“Alright everyone out and let’s roll!” Gabriel yelled jumping out of the car. I couldn’t help but smile when I saw him morph into an all white wolf. There are not many pure white wolves out there. Gabriel, Ralph and I are the only ones so far.
I jumped out of the truck and morphed. It felt great especially under the rising orange moon. I felt my paws on the earth and I extended my claws feeling the dirt under them. I heard Ulric howl and then everyone else joined in. I was the last to howl but it felt so great.
Everyone took off in different directions but Ulric followed me. We ran side by side at first then it turned into a race. By the time we reached our tree, as we call it, we were out of breath. We morphed into our human forms.
“That was great!” Ulric yelled at me.
I sighed and climbed into the tree. Ulric plopped down on the ground beneath me.
“Why not come up?” I asked.
“Eh I don’t like heights as much as you do.” He called up. I climbed back down and sat next to him. We both looked up at the moon.
“It’s pretty isn’t it?” I asked without looking at him. I heard him move a little as if he was uncomfortable.
“Luna…I talked to Macey earlier.” He said and I clenched my teeth.
“I don’t want to hear it.” I said trying to sound calm, which didn’t work out so well.
“Please listen to me.” I didn’t say anything. “Lulu?” I turned and looked at him. Lulu was my nickname he had given me when we were kids. He hadn’t called me that in so long.
“What?” He asked looking me over.
“You called me Lulu.” I said barely above a whisper.
“Yeah so?” I swear he can be so stupid sometimes.
“You haven’t called me Lulu in a very long time.” I replied and stood up. I miss the old times we used to share. The days when who got hurt and when it was time to go in was the only thing on our minds.
“Ulric can I ask you something?” I didn’t turn around as I asked the questions I had been dying to ask.
“Would you ever mate with me? I mean god that’s a stupid thing to say. I mean would you ever like…date me?” I can’t believe I asked that.
“Luna…I don’t know what to say.” I heard him stand up. I couldn’t dare look at him.
“Yes Luna I would.” I turned to look at him. That’s when he took the chance and kissed me.
I couldn’t believe it, he kissed me he actually kissed me. I was lost in his arms when we heard the howl.
It wasn’t the normal friendly howl. It sounded scared really scared. Ulric and I broke apart. That’s when we saw Leo run out from the woods. He quickly changed into human form.
“Luna. Ulric. We have to get out of here.” He fell down to the ground out cold.
“Luna you go find Ralph and the others I’ll stay with Leo.” I nodded and quickly changed into wolf. I ran into the woods as fast as I could.
“Ah looks like you came to me. Thank you for saving me the trouble.” I darted off to the side just as a sword was swung at me. Really? A sword who uses those anymore?
The man, I think, swung the sword again and I didn’t get out of the way in time and it cut my right eye. It was a deep gash and the blood flowed freely from it. The only real bad thing is when we are cut really badly it is hard for us to keep our wolf form.
I slowly started to morph into my human form. Damn it this is bad.
“Well I didn’t know you where this young.” The man stepped towards me as I slumped to the ground.
“Pretty white hair. Dazzling purple eyes. Your quite the catch.” I couldn’t do anything. Me, one of the strongest and fastest out of our pack, was defenseless against this human.
“Sleep tight…Luna.” He laughed a weird creepy laugh and stepped into the shadows. I fell to the ground and everything faded to black.

Chapter 3
I heard the voices of the others calling out to me.
I could feel the arms around me. I could feel the pain from my right eye.
“Luna…” Ah it hurt. I felt someone stitching up my eye. Since we’re werewolves we tend to not go to hospitals considering we heal pretty fast.
“Luna if you can hear me say something.” I tried. I opened my mouth but all that came out was a low moan.
“Well that’s a start.” It was Ralph I could hear him do that grunting sound he did when he was in a bad situation.
“What about her eye?” That was either Maxine or Emily.
“She’ll be blind and she’ll also have a nice little scar but other than that she’s fine.” I heard everyone sigh.
“What attacked her though that’s the real question.” Everyone was quiet.
“H…hum…man...” I said very slowly.
“Human?” I tried to nod but it hurt too badly so I just moaned.
“She said that a human did this.”
“Is that even possible?”
“I don’t know but she needs to sleep. Ulric take her to your room.” I felt arms go around me and I moaned again as I was picked up. I was then laid down on my bed then covered up.
“Luna I’m so sorry.” I heard him say then I heard the door close.
“I shouldn’t have let you go out there alone. I’m so stupid.” He kept on ranting and I just listened. After awhile he crawled into bed next to me.
“I’m so sorry.” I poked his side as best as I could.
“Do…don’t b…be sorry.” I managed to say. “It’s…not your…fault.” It hurt to speak and I guess Ulric realized.
“Don’t talk.” He told me and hugged me. I fell asleep in his warm arms.
The next morning went by fast. It was a normal Saturday morning. I was up and doing my normal things. I avoided all mirrors if at all possible because I had already seen the scar that ran from the right side of my forehead down to the left side of my jaw. Not to mention I had lost the sight in my right eye. Yeah my pretty purple eye was now a misty blue.
I will find whoever did this and I will make them pay. Everyone else is acting like nothing happened but I was pissed. I mean I could’ve died and what was with that man? How did he know my name? All these questions were running through my mind.
“Lunar.” I jumped and spilled my cup of orange juice.
“Damn it.” I said quickly trying to pick up the broken glass.
“Watch your mouth young lady.” It was Emily.
“Sorry Em.” I said wiping up the juice.
“Get your jacket we’re going to the mall.” I stood straight up and looked at her.
“Are you crazy? I’m not going out there with this scar on my face.” She just laughed.
“It suits you Lunar. It means you’re strong. Now get your jacket and let’s go.” She smiled that evil smile of hers and walked off. I sighed and grabbed my jacket. I walked out the front door into the cold October wind. My white hair whipping behind me as I climbed into Emily’s car.
“Now Lunar the reason I’m taking you to the mall is because you deserve it. Plus you need new clothes.” She said looking at my All Time Low shirt and skinny jeans.
“What’s wrong with my clothes?” She didn’t reply instead she just turned on the radio.
It took us 20 minutes to get to the mall. She just had to choose the biggest mall in all of Wyoming. Really is she trying to show me off? She found a parking space near the entrance. We both climbed out and started towards the building.
“What store do you want to hit first?” Emily asked looking at me.
“Hot Topic.” She laughed.
