Crescent Moon : Part 6

It’s been 3 month and I have gotten huge as a house. Why couldn’t things go back to the way they were before all this? I missed my mom, dad and Chris. There had been no word from any of them, but just like my parents said Drake and I had went to Texas to wait on them. I had started to get bigger because of this baby even the pains were getting worst.

Doctors couldn’t help and I was sure I was going to have a girl from the way the baby would be still for a minute then the next second start kicking for hours. Drake had found a job working at a warehouse and even singing on the weekend nights at a restaurant. I feel bad he taken on so much of the burden and I can’t even help.

“Hey baby I am home! How is our son?” Drake shouts as he comes into the door. I smile and giving him a huge. “Our son is being a pain in the ass.” I say bitterly. “Well that’s how he was conceived remember,” Drake smile giving me a kiss. I hit him but with all that muscle that he got I know he didn’t feel a thing.

“I know you get bored sitting around here waiting for news of what’s going on or planning your wedding but tonight is our night. We are going to have a nice dinner, a walk, and I’m going to sing to like on our first date.” Drake says smiling which he always did. I could never understand what made him smile so much or basically all the time. It was a little disturbing. “Am I smiling too much again baby? I just can’t help it. I finally got everything I always wanted a family, a home, and soon a son!”

I just gave up and kissed his cheek. There was a pounding on the door and Drake ran to go answer it. I walked behind him and saw Chris my best friend in the world. “Chris I missed you so much…” I stopped walking toward him when I saw him. He was badly beaten, cut, and missing a hand. Tears began to fill my eyes as I looked at my once only friend basically dying in front of me.

“Listen Zack, Drake, Elizabeth has taken over Grim Academy and your horrible slut mother Zack. Let’s say that bitch got what was owed. She is coming for you!” With those last words Chris’s body went limp and lifeless and collapsed on the floor. I started screaming my head off until Drake came over and wrapped his arms around me.

“I can’t believe it. My mom she’s dead and I didn’t even get to say bye, Chris too!” I continued shouting. “Why! Why Drake?” I felt like I was dying and there was no medicine to stop it, no promise of a happy ending, and no hope left.

“Calm down Zack. It’s ok we can handled this.”Drake swooned in my ear. “Why didn’t I see this coming? Why didn’t I get a sign? Its what the point of having this power if all it does is take away.” “It’s my fault. I got so caught up living my dream that I forget it was up to me to help you with your training but right now not the time. We got to get back to the Wolf Temple before Elizabeth gets there.”

I wrap my arms around Drake as he picks me up and was off in a second. The pains the baby causes bring me to my limit and I pass out. The next thing I know is we are at the Wolf Temple or what’s left of it. Drake puts me down and starts looking around. A scent of pine and vanilla pass my nose and Drake looks back at me in shock and rage.

I turn around and see Tiger in all the prime animal glory. There is a tiny group of what I can tell are sliverfang wolves behind her. “Well well what do I have here? Elizabeth has been looking for you two for a while now. I know she will be glad that I killed you.” With that Tiger whips out her swords and beheads me but a white lights forms a wall between her and me.

Drake gets in front of me and pushes me back. I can see the wall take the form of a woman with soft features almost like my mothers. The lady turns around and I see it is my mom well her ghost spirit whatever you call it. I then hear my dad call my name. I look back and see him sprinting up to us.

“Tiger don’t ever put my family in danger or I will be forced to kill you?” Drake whispers dangerously between his clinched teeth. “How about you and me right here Drake?” Tiger giggles. Drake lurches at her and grabs both her wrist. She kisses his lips and begins to smile. Drake’s eyes start to turn an evil black. I clinch my shoulders in fear of him. He turns and looks at me and I flinch knowing he is about to attack me like last time. I look back into his face and see hurt then anger and then he turns back to Tiger. He tightens his grasp on her wrist and I hear a bone tingling crack.

Drake starts to transform into a werewolf as all the other wolves with Tiger all begin to bow and shake in fear of Drake. I whisper “Drake no!” In that instant, Drake bites down on Tiger’s throat and begin tearing it to pieces. Tears start to roll down my face as I see the man I love who always smiled turn into a cold killer. He likes her lifeless body drop and he spits a bloody chewed piece of flesh on it. He turns to me and his expression is blank then anger. He shows me his animal teeth and I begin crying and screaming no. Drake charges at me ready to attack when my dad comes up and kicks him in the face.

“Daddy no! Stop! Please” I shout grabbing his shoulder. I walk toward Drake with my hand stretched toward him. “Drake please come back to your senses.” Drake growls and runs toward me. He stops in front of me and stands on his hind legs towering over me. He shows me his fangs and brings his mouth down to my neck.

My dad brings his sword to Drake’s neck but it’s unnecessary because he back to his human with his hand on my shoulder and arms around my back. “Zack promise you won’t ever look at me like that again. I didn’t mean to scare you.” He whispers trying to hold back the subs but he breaks down crying and I wrap my arms around him. My dad puts his sword away and the other werewolves start retreating back to the shadows of the trees.

Drake stops crying and we huddle by the fire my dad made before night fell. “Well it’s good to see you guys but after today I think you two needs to rest. You went and got soft on me.”
