Chapter 12: Night of the full moon (1)

"Oh good Idea. Are you going to do that too? Where do you want to be in 5 years Loki?" "Well the wedding and the baby thing is ok. So I got two boxes down. As for the other two I will figure it out. Don't worry. Hey Akela? What do you think I'm good at?"

"Well I have tell you something. Remember that day when I was sick and I ended up having to go home before I knew what my sickness was?" "Yeah what about it?" "Well I heard everything you said. I just couldn't understand. I couldn't wake up but I heard your voice. So you were the one that really taught me about the stars and talked human to me so I could learn in every night when I was asleep didn't you." "Uh yeah." He scratched in face in embarrassment. "Hehe its ok there is nothing to get embarrassed about thank you. Thanks to you I can cope with the human world better than most can when they turn right?" "Yes. I snuck out of the den and went to a human library. I talked tried to talk to a human man but he couldn't understand so he taught me to read and talk. When I could talk I told him what I was planning on doing." "Oh I see well then. What if I told you, you would be a good teacher. Would you be able to teach others?" "Well you know what that is a good idea. But it won't be teaching out here. I would be teaching those who turn human at the den and once they graduate they can go to the human world." "That's great. That would be a good long term goal. And good to start. Just draw a picure of human kids and you teaching them." "Yeah good idea. I would say starting to instead of long term." "That's a good idea." We both brought our stuff so we can draw what we talked about. Well that's 3 things though. We need 1 more." I said. "Oh I know. I don't know it this counts as a 4th thing but I want to learn more about outer space. I like art that has to do with the sky since I learned about the constellations, stars, and Zodiac. I want to learn more about outer space. So I want to do art to show people my passion." "You know Akela you are really good at this stuff. I knew once you relaxed a bit you could figure this out." "Well what do you want to learn more about?" "You mean other than learning more about you? Hahaha" "Haha Hey you have your whole life for that." "Haha. I know. Well what do I want to learn more about? Well I guess I want to learn more about people. What they think why they think it and why they do the things they do." "Well I guess that is a good idea for becoming a teacher. So go ahead and put that in the last box." So we both drew in out boxes and were finally done. "You know it was really cool to feel the baby kick in Aunties belly. I can't wait to have one of my own someday and Auntie can feel my baby kick too even uncle. Hehe." "What about me?" "Oh you will have all day to feel it we will be living together already married. After work you would come home and snuggle with me when I am pregnant or not pregnant. Then we would talk about how are days went." "Hmm. Sounds like a dream." "Hehe yeah it sure does." They we kissed each other on the lips for a few minutes then stopped before it got any more serious.

It was getting close to sunset so Loki and I laid down snuggling on our blanket and waited for sunset. Not long after the sky was turning pretty colors. I sat up got my stuff out and started sketching the pretty sky with clouds mixed in. I also drew us on our blanket watching it. But I drew us as shadows. Then I was in the middle of sketching what it looked like when we first got here Loki said, "What are you doing now?" "Oh I'm sketching the place of what it looked like when we first came. I'm almost done. There. Done." "Can I see?" "Sure." "Oh you drew us at are picnic. Hey does my face really look like that?" "Hehe yeah it did. You are so cute." "I look like a little boy in love." "Hehe maybe you are." Then I kissed his cheek." "Oh and I have one more picture its of the sunset." I turned the page back to show him. "Wow that's pretty good." "I know right?" Then it was getting time to head back.

"Can we wait to see the stars when they come out. Please?" "I guess so. We will be a little late but it shouldn't be too bad." "Yay. Thanks you're the best Loki." "I know." Then he kissed me on the cheek and we laid down and watched the stars for an hour then we had to go home. "OK lets go." Said Loki. "Hmm. OK." "You ok? Are you tired?" "Yeah a little bit. I'll be fine though." "OK if you say so."

We finally got home and it looked like dinner was already on the table. "We're home uncle." I said. "Oh you guys are finally home. I was getting worried." "Its all good uncle we are here now."

We sat at the table and I said, "In a couple of days is the full moon." "Yeah that's right. You will have to skip school those two days." Said Uncle. "I'll call them on Monday and let them know on wensday and Thursday you will have to miss school." "Ok sounds good." I finished my dinner then headed off to bed. I was too tired to do anything else. Everyone looked worried because she normally takes a bath or shower before even brushes her teeth. "I'm curious about something. Let me call the doctor." Leo left the table and went to his room.

"Hello Doctor?" "Yes? Who is this?" "Oh sorry its Leo. Akela's uncle." "Oh how is it?" "Akela is tired. She was so tired that she didn't do her nightly routine is that normal?" "Well its not normal. Well neither is turning into a wolf or werewolf either. Don't worry. Just keep a watch on her. If she starts acting any stranger than that give me a call ok?" "Yes doctor thanks." "Yep see you in a few days." "Yes sir." Then Leo hung up. He went back to the table. "Well the doctor said it wasn't normal but to keep an eye on her. If she does anything stranger let him know." Then Loki remembered her sleepwalking. "I don't know if this counts uncle, but remember when we slept in this morning? There was an incident. Akela ended up sleep walking into the woods. I followed her back home she laid down where she usually slept in the den then she got up and started scratching on the wall. I picked her up and laid her down. After calling her name for awhile she woke up. This happened in the middle of the night." "Ah I see. Makes since on why she tired. Did she say what her dream was about?" Then Loki told him about her dream the way she did. "Hmm. Maybe that is why she was so tired. That dream could be a premonition or just a dream. Just in case it is a premonition you both have to be careful ok?" "Yes uncle. I'm heading to bed too. I'll check on Akela first." Leo took his stuff to the sink and washed his dishes. Then he went to check on Akela.

He opened Akela's door and she was sound asleep. He went over to feel her forehead. "Well no fever but her face looks flushed." Said Loki. He kissed her forehead and cheek. "I love you." He said. Then he left to his room.

They weekend passed by quicker than they had hoped. It was not Monday and they were off to school again. "Hey Loki. Guess what?" "Hmm." "I might get to meet Kiba's big brother. Isn't that cool?" "Yeah and you best be sure I be there. If you go I do too. Let him know that ok?" "Yes Loki I will." Then we got inside and headed to the class room.

"Hmm. I don't see Kiba here today. I wonder if he is late." "Ok class its time to start." Then the teacher started teaching and right in the middle of it Kiba came. He gave the teacher a note for why he was late. "Ok go sit in your seat next to Akela." "Yes Maam. Sorry I'm late guys." "Its all good." We whispered. Then we all looked ahead and listened.

Classes went by and it was lunch time. We were sitting at our table and I said, "Hey Kiba. So did you talk to your brother?" "Oh yeah. I did. I also told him you would bring someone along with you." "Oh good so I don't have to tell you. So what did he say?" "Oh that. He is willing to meet. Just not at the house. Its crazy there right now. Once things settle down you can visit there. So he wanted to meet at the park near the school." "Ok sounds good. What time and when?" "Oh the weekend. My brother works." "Oh ok. May I ask what he does?" "Sorry even I don't know. Apparently he says its top secret." "Oh well that's ok. As long as I get to meet him. So Saturday then right?" "Yeah." "Ok then I can go to my parent's house on Sunday then. Oh you know the teacher with the first name Frostine?" "Yeah why? We are in all classes with you remember?" "Yeah well. She is my moms twin sister. My moms name is Luna." "Oh I thought I saw a resemblance between you two." "Yep that's my aunt. My father died when I was a baby but my stepdad and my mom raised me. Although she didn't tell me that back then so I didn't know. I thought she was some lady that raised me. I found out when I was 8." "Oh well that's a shocker huh?" "Yeah it sure was." So we finished eating and the classes went by fast and it was time to go home.

"You coming over today Kiba?" "Yeah for a little bit. I have to get home a little earlier than before. I'll check your work and have you do a few problems then I gotta go." "Oh no worries." Said Loki. So we finally got to the door and I was feeling a little light headed.

"Woah that was close. Thanks Loki and Kiba." "You feeling ok Akela?" said Loki. "Just a little light headed I'll be fine." We went inside and said "Auntie, Uncle were home." "Oh welcome home how was school." "(Sigh) School was normal. I get to meet Kiba's big brother on Saturday at the park. Don't worry Loki is there. Even if he wasn't I'm almost 17 I can take care of myself." "haha that's a good one Akela. When have you ever been able to do that?" Said Loki. "One of these days I will show you I can. Just name something and I will do it on my own." I play pouted. "Haha. Right." Said Loki. "Ok guys remember I have to leave in a little bit." Said Kiba. "Oh your leaving so soon?" said Leo. "Yeah things are Hectic at home. So I have to leave soon." "Well I hope everything works out then." "Thanks Leo. OK Akela lets see your work. Loki get yours out too." "Yes sir." Said Loki.

I gave him my work first. He looked it over. "Very good. OK well you don't need me to tutor you anymore unless you get a new type of math. Good job Akela." "Thanks Kiba. You're a good Tutor." "Thanks. Ok Loki lets see." He looked over Loki's work and said. "You forgot to do this then you have got it down." "Oh ok thanks Kiba." "Well you two don't need me to tutor anymore. Let me know if you have other subjects you need help on ok?" "Yes thanks for all your help Kiba." "No problem. Oh how are you on your art homework?" "Oh we finished it. So when the teacher asks the ones who got it finished to go up I will go up. I hope you are there." "Yeah me too." Then he left for home. We both stayed at the table and did our other work as well.

After I was done working my head was feeling lightheaded again. "Akela. Hey Akela! Uncle catch her!" He caught her in the nick of time. "What happened to her?" said Leo. "I don't know. When we got to the door she was like this too. Maybe she overworked herself." Said Loki. "Well it wouldn't' be the first time." Said Leo.

A few days went past and those other days she was able to go back to school. Looks like she just needed to rest. Now it was the day we have to head to the hospital. "Hey Loki? Do we really have to do this?" "Yes you want to make sure your cured right?" "Yes I do." "OK then. I'm sure mom and auntie and spirit are already there." "Yeah. What if I'm not cured and I run off like last time. This time I might actually hurt someone." "Woah calm down its ok. Even if your not cured we will figure something out ok? After this we might not have to wait even if your not cured." "How do you know?" "I have my sources don't worry about it. Plus me and Spirit are fast runners." "Ok thanks Loki."

"Hello doctor. Do we have to make any preparations for tomorrow night?" said Loki. "No just a free night tonight to rest and tomorrow she will be chained up again. We made chains only a purebred cyclops can break. Even though they aren't real I'm sure they can still. It means its strong enough a wolf or werewolf can't break it. If you can you are one strong werewolf." Said the doc. "Ok Akela. Why don't you get changed in this gown and get some rest ok?" "Yes doc. I need all the rest I can get." So she left and Loki told the doc about her light headed spells and sleep walking. "I see. Your uncle is right it could be a premonition but it could also be a dream. You really should be careful." "Thanks doc." "Well you all need rest. Why don't you 4 go to the rooms I gave you before and get some." "Thanks we will take you on the offer." So they headed to the rooms to rest as well.

The next night was the night of the full moon. They had Akela dress in something comfortable that she owned before they chained her up. "Sorry I know this is uncomfortable but it has to be done." Said the doc. "I understand thank you. I just hope this works." "We all do." Said Loki.

An hour before the moon was about to come out someone barged in the hospital. "Where is she?! Where is Akela?" "Excuse me sir. But who are you?" "I'm a friend. I she ok? I already know about her situation. That is why I am here." "Ok sir just wait a moment." Said the nurse. She ran and got the doctor.

The doctor came out and said. "Can I help you?" "Yes my name is Xerxes. My stupid brother Kiba here told me just now that he was the one that attacked her. That you probably gave her the antidote right?" "Yes I did. We are testing it tonight to see if it will work." "That stupid antitode won't work. Is it the kind they used back since the last one changed?" "Yes it is." "It won't work. She will change again. With they way she is no matter how strong the chains are she will break them. There is a way to save her though. We would have to take her home with me." "Can you make it home before the moon comes up?" "I'm going to have to try. If not I have other ways." "Ok stay here I'll be right back." The doc went to explain the situation to the others. They all agreed.

"Ok I will let her go with you on one condition. Spirit and Loki go with her." "Fine no one else then ok?" "That's fine. Mom. Tell uncle what is going on ok?" "Yes honey I will be careful and listen to what he says ok?" "Yes mom I will." The we rushed off.
