Strange

"Crackrr..."

A sound of a closing door could be heard in the middle of the night as Kimberly sneaked into her former home through the back door of the secret route. From the sound of the door, one could tell she tried her best not to let it make out any sound but due to the erst of the door, it still did.

She walked fully into the house, scanning her eyes around. It was still the same as it was the last time she came.

After her visit to Lucas's, she came back to the house, looking for something else this time.

She turned heading towards the direction of her mother's former room. The door of the room was slightly open as it was the last time too.

Walking into the room, she paused her steps immediately her eyes landed on the bed. The bed which was arranged the other day was mess up. She strode to the bed and her brows furrowed when her eyes caught something shiny on the bed.

Picking it up, she took a closer look on it. It looked like a woman's jewelry, specifically a part of a necklace that fell from someone. She wanted to drop it back on the bed but she...

"This..."

Kimberly muttered, her furrowed brows deepened.

"Looks familiar..."

She thought as she looked around the bedroom to find another one but she found none.

"I've seen this somewhere.... " she thought inwardly. Kimberly shook her head, she tried to remember but she couldn't.

She heaved a rough sigh and put the jewelry in her pants back pocket. She turned, walking towards the corner of the room where the statue was.

Immediately she got to the statue, she tilt the sheep's head to the left side and the wall cracked opened revealing the door of secret passage to the underground coven. She placed her right hand on the palm sized round button on the wall by the right. Like she did before, she turned it four times and it opened. Pushing the button in and the door in front of her opened revealing a wooden step going into the depth of the underground coven-stead.

Walking in, she brought out her phone from her pants left pocket to serve as the light.

However...

She looked around the coven and nothing seemed out of place from the other day she came.

The black cloak was hanged at its place and the candles were still the same. Slowly,she went to the alter.

On getting to the alter, she walked to the back of it and bent opening the inner back of the alter. Her eyes caught the familiar wood she was looking for and she stretched her hand, grabbing it.

It was a red wood of about two palms size. Strange words and symbols could be seen carved with a golden ink on every part of it, including the rites of the Dark North Clan's coven. And at the back of it was the symbol of the Dark North Clan's coven boldly carved on it.

She wrapped it up with a small black satin, she brought with her. Hiding it into her hoodie, she stood walking out of the underground coven-stead immediately.

Without wasting much time, she walked in to the room. Taking a last glance at the bed, she finally walked of the house the same way she came.

"Anyone else wants to challenge me?" Ethan's voice echoed in the forest as he asked with a proud smile.

"Yes.."Alex said, coming foward.

"Alpha..." Ethan and the other supernaturals made a bow. But with a raised brows, Ethan looked at Alex.

"I said I will, Are you scared I might defeat you?" Alex asked, pluckily. He knew Ethan was not scared of him, since everyone already knows who the winner would be at the end of the day.

"Alright then..." Ethan said and immediately changed to his wolf form. They were having a race in the woods.

They were back in New Orleans which is North Moon, Alex's Clan. The clan consists of many supernaturals but it is mostly dominated by werewolves and sirens. Witches and elf's were also there but they were few. And other supernaturals aside from the former, were insignificant.

However...

Alex didn't need to change for the race, since it's obvious that he could surpass Ethan even in his human form.

The audience excitedly watched as they got ready for the race. To them, it was rare to see their Alpha, but seeing him join in the activities of the clan was another thing. And they couldn't help but be in suspense.

"Ready...!"

Ethan mind linked Alex who smirked in return. Immediately, they took off deeper into the forest.

Ethan's wolf black fur blended with the night as it ran swiftly deeper into the forest. Alex on the other hand, was moving like a flash with the breeze blowing his dark brown hair backwards. His face glowing from the impact of the moon.

The breeze caressing his face made him close his eyes, slowly his mind drifted to his arrogant sheep and he subconsciously slowed down.

He is missing her already... He thought.

Due to the distraction, Ethan who was far behind him began closing the gap between them. But all of a sudden....

"Arrgggh...."

Alex groaned painfully, he almost tripped but fortunately there was a tree near him. His emerald eyes snapped open immediately and his orbs slowly began changing to yellow.

Pain.... pain is the only thing that runs through Alex right this minute. An excruciating pain engulfed him entirely as his bones made cracky sounds of being twisted to the opposite sides.

Alex didn't need a soothsayer to tell him what the pain was about. This pain was already familiar to his body.

Ethan who heard him groan, halted on his tracks and changed to his human form swiftly. He wanted to run to him but paused as his head snapped upwards and his eyes caught the moon.

"The moon..." Ethan muttered.

He took a few steps back, since he knew the implications of stepping any closer to him. The beast form of Alex would devour him if he steps any closer and the best option was to stay farther away from him.

To other supernaturals including Ethan, all they could see was a bright full moon. But Ethan knew it was something different and dreadful to his Alpha.

On the other hand, Alex knew it was none other than the blood moon. The moon that sealed the curse which Selene laid on him thousands of years ago.

The moon was full, but instead of the white color of a moon. It was bloody red and a black mist seemed to surround it.

The moon appears twice every year and the pain takes a whole day to disappear, but unfortunately it does not have any particular day or time to appear. It either appears a few days after the previous one or months apart but not the same day.

"That witch.." Alex snarled with heavy breaths and slowly he took steady steps.

"Stay away from the forest..." Alex mind link to Ethan who obliged and started running back to the clan. And like a flash, Alex took off towards Gotham's Cave which was at the deepest part of the forest.

However...

Getting to the cave....

"Arrgghhh..."Alex groaned in excruciating pain, he was slowly loosing his sanity.

Running into the cave, he ran to the deepest part of the cave. His hands were already full of furs and his fingers were already furry and had a long sharp black claws. His eyes were no longer emerald but they now had a deep shade of yellow and red veins could be seen on them. Two golden horns could be seen making their way out of his head as his face changed to that of a beast.

"Tssktt..."

"Tssktt..."

Sounds of clothes ripping apart echoed in the cave as Alex transformed into a ten feet beast. No single clothing was left on his body as his clothes were all ripped apart beyond recognition.

He groaned and groaned in pains, he tried his best not to lose his sanity but the pains never ceased and he was already losing it bit by bit.

However...

Before Alex could groan again, he lost his entire sanity and...

"Hoooohhh..."

He howled deeply and took off immediately running out of the cave and into the forest.
