Chapter 1


Author POV


A woman dashes through the woods, cradling her precious daughter tightly in her arms. Her husband has just made the ultimate sacrifice, enabling their escape. In the distance, she hears the shouts of pursuers drawing nearer by the moment.

Man 1: "Where is she?" A male voice was heard in the distance acom

Man 2: "Find her!"

Spotting a large rock with a small bush nearby, the woman gently places her sleeping child under its cover, praying she remains undisturbed.

Woman: "I'm sorry, my dear, but you must stay quiet and stay alive, alright?"

Thankfully, the baby continues to slumber peacefully. Removing her necklace, the woman places it atop the child, then wraps her jacket around a boulder, disguising its absence.

Woman: "Take care, sweetheart. Mommy and Daddy will always love you. Be good." (She plants a soft kiss on her)

Man 1: "There she is!"

Man 2: "Get her!"

Fleeing as fast as her legs can carry her, the woman leads the pursuers away from her daughter until she reaches a cliff, her escape route cut off.

Man 1: "Nowhere to run now. Hand her over!"

Woman: "Never!"

As the men close in, the woman retreats, but a misstep sends her tumbling over the edge.

Man 2: "Damn it! The boss won't be pleased if the baby's dead."

Man 1: "Let's go check."

-- One hour later --

An elderly woman navigates the forest with ease, searching for something or someone. Despite the darkness, she knows every inch of the woods. She heads straight to where the baby lies abandoned.

Elderly Woman: "There you are, poor thing." (She scoops up the baby)

Elderly Woman: "You've been as quiet as a mouse, just like your mother said. Good girl."

Elderly Woman: "You're safe for now. You have a destiny to fulfill; you can't die."

With the baby in her arms, the woman heads toward a dilapidated cottage nestled in the heart of the woods..

Y/n's Pov

Nanna: "Y/n, come here. It's time we had a talk. You're old enough to understand."

Y/n: "Yes, Nanna?"

Nanna: "You know you're special, don't you? Your hair turns white with every full moon. Do you know why?"

Y/n: "No, I don't."

Nanna: "Because you're a child of the moon. Your parents died protecting you. You were born to defeat a great evil."

Y/n: "Why me?"

Nanna: "Only you have the power to defeat it. Wait, I have something for you."

She retrieves a medallion from a small cabinet and hands it to me.

Nanna: "Here, this is yours." (She passes it to me)

Opening it, I see a picture of a man, a woman, and a baby.

Y/n: "Are these my parents?"

Nanna: "Yes, Y/n."

Y/n: "Why am I so special?"

Nanna: "Because there can only be one child of the moon in each generation."

Y/n: "But aren't the children of the moon supposed to be werewolves?"

Nanna: "Yes, some are. But you're different. You were born under a full moon, and the moon bestowed upon you a fraction of its power."

Y/n: "But I don't have any powers, except for my hair changing color."

Nanna: "Don't worry; they'll manifest in due time."

Nanna: "One more thing. I'm growing old, and I won't be around forever. Someday, a young man with powers like mine will offer you his help. Take it!"

Y/n: "How do you know all this? Did you have a vision?"

Nanna: "Yes, Y/n. Now, let's make dinner."

--- Five years later ---

Nanna's POV

Nanna: "Y/n? I need some flowers from near the waterfall. Can you fetch them for me?"

Y/n: "What! That's a half-hour walk! Do I have to?"

Nanna: "My legs aren't as spry as they once were."

Y/n: "Fine, Nanna." (She grabs her basket and coat)

Nanna: "Take your time, dear."

Nanna: "Goodbye, Y/n." (I whisper to myself)

I watch Y/n depart. I've lured her away because I've had another vision. Men are on their way; they know Y/n is alive. They could arrive any moment now.

Sitting on my swing chair, I wait for their arrival. Suddenly, I hear footsteps and the door crashes to the ground.

Man: "Where is she?"

Nanna: "Who?"

Man: "You know who. The Moonchild."

Nanna: "I'm alone here, spending my final days."

Man: "If you won't talk, I'll kill you now."

Nanna: "I fear not death."

Man: "Take her." (He signals for others to take me away)

Two men drag me out of the forest and toss me into a car.

Man: "We'll see if you talk after a bit of torture."

Y/n's POV

Returning from gathering flowers, I find the door on the ground and drop my basket, spilling flowers everywhere. I enter the house cautiously, calling for Nanna.

Y/n: "Nanna! Where are you?"

I search every nook and cranny, realizing she couldn't have gone far unless...

Y/n: "She warned me years ago. Did they find out I'm here?"

Y/n: "I can't stay here; what if they return? But where can I go?"

Lost in the forest, tears welling in her eyes, I collapse onto a rock and weep. After a few minutes, someone approaches. I look up to see...

Yoongi: "Hello, Y/n." (He extends his hand)

A handsome young man stands before me, smiling warmly.

Y/n's mind: "Wait!..." (Her eyes widen)

--Flashback--

Nanna: "One more thing. I'm getting old, and I won't be around forever. Someday, a handsome man with powers like mine will offer you his help. Take it!"

-- End Flashback--

Y/n's mind: "Is he the man Nanna spoke of?"

Y/n: "How do you know my name?"

Yoongi: "I saw you in my mind. That's how I knew you'd be here. I have chronovision."

Y/n: "What's that?"

Yoongi: "I can glimpse seconds or minutes into the future or past."

Y/n: "Just like Nanna?"

Yoongi:"Yes. So, are you coming with me? My name's Yoongi."

Slowly, I take his hand, and he helps me to my feet.

Yoongi: "Don't worry; you're safe with us." (He begins to walk, and I follow)

Y/n: "Us?"

Yoongi: "We're a group of seven. People call us 'The Power of Seven.' Each of us has unique abilities. We're here to protect you."

Y/n: "What about Nanna? I can't leave her alone."

Yoongi: "I'm sorry, Y/n. I fear it may be too late for her."

At his words, I stop, and Yoongi turns to see tears streaming down my face. He offers me a tissue.

Yoongi: "I know it's hard, but you must be strong." (He embraces me suddenly)

I nod, and he takes my hand.

Yoongi: "Come; they're expecting us. The sooner you're off their radar, the better."

Walking just beyond the forest, we find a black car waiting. Yoongi opens the door, gesturing for me to enter. Inside, another man sits at the wheel.

Jungkook: "Hello. You must be Y/n."

Y/n: "Hello. Yes, that's me. Nice to meet you."

He smiles and starts the car, then touches his temple and speaks silently. His voice resonates within my mind.

Jungkook: "Guys, we have her. Heading back now."

Yoongi sits beside me, closing the door.

Yoongi: "Y/n, this is Jungkook, another member of The Power of Seven. He has telepathic abilities."

Y/n: "Ah, that explains why I could hear him in my head."

Yoongi: "Wait, you heard him too?"

Y/n: "Yes, loud and clear."

Yoongi: "That's unusual. Normally, only we can hear it. You must truly be exceptional." (He smiles)

After a thirty-minute drive, we arrive at their house, concealed within the woods.

Jungkook: "Welcome to our home. You're safe here. There's a hidden shield around the house, so no one knows it exists."

Yoongi: "Let's go in. It's not safe out here for you."
