I got in my apartment. I hadn't noticed how messy the place was. I guess I was in such a hurry this morning. Not that I wasn't right now. I took my high heels and my dress off. I wouldn't need them in the park. I caught my hair up in a ponytail and wore my black shorts and a white blouse. My running shoes were right next to the door. I put them on and left my apartment. Nobody would pay much attention to a woman who had gone in the park for jogging.

It was almost nine o'clock and I still hadn't arrived at the clearing. I kept running though, since I didn't want to cross paths with someone from the neighborhood. It was more than enough that the park seemed quite crowded this evening. Thankfully, no one was going that deep inside it, for some inexplicable reason.

It took me five more minutes to arrive at the clearing. I stared at the sky. The dark side of the moon would bring back in the surface the other half of me. I started taking my clothes and shoes off. An instant later, the familiar sensation of moon dust that was falling from the sky took over my body. In the darkest of nights, those little sparkles were the only source of light. That was when I started transforming. Four strong legs, white fur, blue eyes and a huge horn right above them. For lack of a better term, I had turned into a unicorn. Yet again.
