Nevermore, Piece 1
She peered through a small hole in the den she awoke in to see if she knew where she was. Nothing but trees, dead leaves, and your occasional animal passing through could be seen. The sunlight streamed in, making it difficult to see without being blinded. What was she doing in that hole? Everything in her mind was blank and she couldn’t remember anything after looking at the beauty of the full moon the previous night. Nothing like this ever happened before. She placed her hand on her forehead and felt something unexpected. She removed her hand and looked at her fingertips.

“Wha… Why am I bleeding?” She took a few minutes to think and sat in the dry leaves. Maybe that’s why she can’t remember anything- she was knocked out by something. But, what was she doing in that den and why couldn’t she get out easily? Her expression changed from confusion to realization. “I’ve been kidnapped. Maybe if I yell loud enough someone will hear and come save me.” That she did. Unfortunately for her, her screams could not be heard and she came close to losing her voice. All thoughts of hope were gone; she leaned against the side of the den and shrank into her imagination as tears streamed down her face.

Her thoughts were racing like mad trying to remember what happened the previous night. The possibilities were endless: drugged, kidnapped, knocked out and left for dead. Who knows? All she knew was that she wanted out of that hole yesterday. Of course, minutes became hours and hours… Well, actually, the time passed pretty quickly considering how she fell asleep after about ten minutes of daydreaming.
Outside of Cayla's little den, there was some strange commotion going on. A brunette girl in a long black cloak was running as fast as unhumanly possible, dodging miniscule obsticles that you would find in your typical forrest. Running closely behind were some even stranger characters baring their fangs.. It was almost like some kind of high-speed chase, with the two odd things as the cops.

She turned around and continued running-- only backwards. "You know, boys, if you keep your mouths open like that you're bound to be eating some fairly large bugs." She cast a spell causing a shadow to push a bee hive in front of them and turned back around. In a split-second, as soon as she saw a huge fallen tree smothered in moss and leaves she smiled and leaped over it- falling into the den. Sadly, her usual grip that keeps her from losing her balance after landing disappeared and she collided with sleepy-head Cayla. She abruptly woke up.

"WATCH IT!! What do you think you're doing???"

"Shut it!" The brunette snapped quietly. She cautiously peeked through the den's entrance to see if they were still following. She heard leaves and twigs crunching, but saw nothing.

"Excuse me?? Who are you to tell a complete stranger to 'Shut it'??" Cayla was really getting aggrivated from the day's events. She huffed and pushed her reverse-bobbed hair out of her face and brushed the leaves and dirt off her shirt. "It's bad enough to say it like that, but to someone you don't know-- That's just insulting!"

The brunette heard the men move abrubtly and grabbed Cayla by the shoulders enough to hurt her. "Look, if you don't at least quiet down, we're BOTH dead. GOT IT?" She shook her a little.

"Yeah... What's going on?"

"I'll tell you when they're gone..." She listened as closely as possible and heard them walk away. "Finally, I can breathe without smelling their stench." She faked a sneeze and started to climb out of the den.

Cayla grabbed the brunette's cloak and refused to let go. "HEY! Where do you think you're going?? You can't just leave me here! Plus, you said you would explain what just happened! Who are you? Where'd you come from?"

She sighed deeply shaking her head. What have I gotten myself into? "Fine. Here, place a foot on my hands and I'll lift you up." She linked her fingers and held her hands down at stepping-height. Cayla looked at her uneasily. "C'mon- I don't bite."

"How will you get out?"

"Oh, don't worry about that. I can take care of myself." She grinned as though she had some sort of secret.

"Alright.." She cautiously placed one foot firmly in her hands and almost instantly found herself soaring out of the hole and flat on her butt on the surface. "Ouchi... Who has that kind of strength??" She wobbily stood up and looked around trying to gather her bearings but still had no clue as to where she was. Suddenly, she saw a black blur jumping out of the den, high into the air where it lingered for about two seconds, and land. She stood completely befuddled. "WOW! How'd you do THAT???" Her facial expression immediately changed from confusion to excitement. "That was so cool! I've never seen anything like that before! You must've been the best in your Phys Ed class... Wow.. I can't find anything else to say but 'Wow'!"

"Alright, alright! I get the picture. I jump cool. Okay." She shook her head again and muttered something to herself in what sounded like gibberish. "Alright, how about I answer those questions of yours. I'll start with the grill about me: My name is Luna Ravenclau- please just say Luna and NO nicknames. I hate the things people come up with for me. I come from the forrest east of here- the Forrest of Bache, where humans are not permitted..."

"Wait- so how do you live there??"

"I was just getting to that.. The thing of it is, I'm not fully human- only during the day and any night that is deprived of a full moon's glow. You see, I'm a lycan."

"A WHAT? What the heck is that??"

"A werewolf."

Yeah, I know I said I was going to make a special site for it and all that, but I'm having some editing-problems and what-not and I wanted to be nice and actually keep my promise of letting you guys get to read my stuff instead of me talking about it and then not doing anything because I'm too lazy. ^^; Still with me? Awesome.

So, what do YOU think is going to happen next?? (Sorry, but I HAVE to ask xD)
