Blood Moon (girlxgirl)

0.- Prologue

TW: blood, death, swearing.

The blood moon was high up in the sky. The stars glinted around the pitch-black blanket that covered the sky.

It was a beautiful night.

Had it not been for the gathering on the earth below, deep in the forest.

Torches were lighting up a dark circle. Men and women stood in between the torches and watched what was happening in the middle.

A man stood above two figures, a male and a female, both tied to each of their own wooden poles.

"Esther and Anders Månelys. You are sentenced to die by beheading after you are suspected of making a deal with the vampires, our enemies. Do you oppose this claim?" the man asked as he stood in front of the two.

"We never did such a thing!" the woman shouted as she struggled against her restraints.

"Then how do you explain your daughter?!" he shouted as one of the men behind him threw a girl to the ground.

She was beaten and the light of the torches around the open space illuminated her face, showing how her face was covered in blood and bruises. She was a peculiar girl. Her eyes seemed glazed over - looking like the full moon - almost as if she was blind, but she could see just as well as anyone else.

"Mamma!" the girl shouted as she tried to run to them but was stopped by a strong man holding her back. She couldn't have been more than 13. "Pappa!"

"Honey, bli," the man said.

The girl relaxed a little but still struggled against the man holding her.

"You will be judged tonight, as the blood moon is at its highest, and the gods have cast their judgment. You will be beheaded for having struck a bargain with the demons of hell. You will be killed, then we will move to your daughter."

"No, please!" Esther shouted. "Kill us but leave her alone, she has nothing to do with this!"

"She has everything to do with this!" a woman shouted, stepping out from the shadows. She had dark skin, black, dreadlocked hair, and she was wearing a bundle of black wool and black animal skin. "Have you seen your child!?" She roughly grabbed the girl's chin and brought her to look at everyone.

The girl's glazed eyes looked around, wide in fear and filled to the brim with tears.

"Does this look like a normal werewolf to you!?" she shouted. "She has been cursed by demons and witches!" She threw her to the side, causing the girl to fall and lay on her side.

"Do it!" the man growled loudly and another man came out from the dark. He was pale, big, tall, and had blonde hair. He was wearing the same as all the others. He was carrying a big axe and he walked with heavy steps towards the two bound adults. Once the man was in front of the two he lifted his axe high in the air.

There was a few seconds of intense silence, where the only thing the girl laying on the ground could hear was her own ragged breath and her heartbeat beating in her chest, threatening to break out. Her eyes spilled over with tears as she looked at her parents. They were putting on brave faces for her, reassuring her that everything was going to be ok. As they always did.

The man from before brought his axe down with a ferocious warrior scream.

And then it was done.

"NOOOO!" the girl on the ground cried as her parent's heads bounced off on the grassy ground. She began sobbing uncontrollably as the man with the axe walked over to her, his bloody axe dragging behind him.

"And now, it's your turn," he said in a low, threatening voice.

The man with the axe walked over to her while another man held her up.

Her head was down and she could feel the cold metal of the axe against her neck as the man aimed.

New tears formed in her eyes. She didn't want to die. She didn't understand what she did wrong.

A piercing pain suddenly struck her body. She forced her face down, not wanting anyone to see her scrunched-up face.

The cold metal pressed against her neck again.

A new pain ripped through her body and she groaned.

"Is there something you would like to say?" the man from before said in a mocking tone.

"Din jævel," she said with full confidence - one she didn't know she had - through clenched teeth while looking up at him. She could feel her skin rip and her bones crack in her body. Her teeth moved around and grew in her mouth, her ears grew big and pointy and her skin got covered in fur.

The people stared in horror as the girl transformed before their eyes. It wasn't unusual to see a fellow werewolf transform, but it was an unusual thing for such a young pup to transform, during a blood moon nonetheless, and seemingly against her will.

The man holding her let go, the other one with the axe dropped it, and the last one just stared while slowly backing away.

The girl on the ground writhed in pain, and an occasional animalistic whimper or groan escaped her throat.

She slowly transformed before their eyes, a big, fluffy, brown wolf taking her place.

Everyone looked in shock at the wolf laying on the ground, panting heavily and with her eyes closed. Had she not been breathing they might have thought she was dead.

The wolf slowly opened its eyes. They were glowing red.

"Kill it!" someone shouted.

What followed was pure chaos.

Fire.

Screams.

Blood.

The girl kept turning back to human then wolf, then human then wolf.

It looked painful, and it was. The girl had tears streaming down her face every time she was in her human form, and the wolf kept whimpering and growling if it wasn't running around and killing.

Then... it all stopped. The pain, the screams, the chaos. Stopped.

The girl opened her eyes and looked around, she looked confused. She winced as she moved her neck and touched it. As she looked at her fingers, she was horrified at the sight of blood and skin.

She stood up and began walking until she saw the bodies of her parents, she didn't dare go near them. Instead, she ran. She ran and ran, far away; she never wanted to be back. She looked up at the red moon, and then back at the burning forest and at the bodies that lay there.

She hated the moon, she hated the fire, she hated the blood, the vampires, the werewolves, the gods, the magic, death. She hated everything!
