The gray moon
Tammy's POV
I listened to the hot tea ooze into Mrs Manchester's mug. This was the third time she was having a cup of lemon ginger tea. Something was bothering her..she was so worried. This emotion played all over her aged face.
"Here's your tea,ma'am," I carefully handed her the cuppa.
"Oh,thank you,Tammy,dear," she absent mindedly took the cup from me. I returned to the kitchen before someone scampered down the stairs quickly.
"Granny,today's a gray moon. Hunter is going to change soon,we gotta go...." Estacita paused suddenly when she met my gaze as I walked out of the kitchen with a wipe cloth in my hand. "We gotta go give him some tea!" She chimed in nervously
"I'll go,ma'am," I suggested
"No!!"both of them hollered at me then withdrew swiftly regulating their aura. What is up with these two?
"It's okay. I'll retire now," I said to break the defending silence and their rigid attitude. I walk past the both of them heading for the stairs
"Dyou think she noticed?" I heard Estacita whisperer to her grandmother who strictly shused her.
Was there something they were keeping a secret from us? Obviously Tammy...any family that decided to stay too far away from civilization no doubt have a secret they are hiding. I ignored all that ruckuss and continued up the stairs. A crushing sound suddenly comes from the floor above me. I pause and listen keenly and it comes again this time with twice the force. I gasped at the realization that it was from Hunter's room. He had completely avoided me ever since he said he didn't want to hurt me. I still don't know what he meant by that but I tried to let it go. I looked back behind me to see if Estacita and her Grandmother were coming before I prolonged my trek to the most isolated floor of all. Hunter's floor. He went solo here,privacy issues I guess. The rattling and breaking became more clear as I came close to his door. I took many hesitant breathes before contorting the door knob and pushing myself into his room.
"Mr Stark?" I called out slowly into the darkness that engulfed his room taking quiet, careful steps further into the room. There were many broken things sprawled across the floor. Hunter stood at his table..where things happened between us,you know... Urgh! Not now Tammy!! I mentally smacked myself. Hunter's hands stayed glued onto the edges of the table. I cringed with a pinch of fright when he raised his eyes at me. They glowed...glowed a red flare that glinted into the night.
"Sir...are-are you okay?" My voice came out in a small shaky tone
"Get...out!" He sneered, walking further away from me
"But..sir,you don't look so well...
"I said..Get out of my room,Tammy!!" He clamoured this time and I flinched but I didn't leave,i couldn't. What was happening to him? Was this what Estacita was talking about? But she said he was about to change.... Change? Into what? I Eddied my eyes around looking for the light switch. The room was naturally lit by the full moon that shone straight in. I shift my attention back to Hunter worriedly when I hear him groan with pain. He suddenly ripped his shirt off his body and falling to the ground on all fours.
"Mr Stark...are you....
"Stay away from me,Tammy!" he snarled
"Hunter...." I whispered coming close only to be pounced at by a huge dark animal. I screamed landing to the ground with the peculiar being,trapped between it's strong fore limbs. In a snap, he was gone...out of the window. I sit up,wide eyed...this couldn't be happening right now. Hunter had turned into an animal right Infront of my eyes. I quickly crawled towards the open window and caught a glimpse of his black fur gallop deeper into the woods. Flashes of what I had just seen lurked in the aspect around me. He was a wolf....no no no I'm just imagining things,aren't I?
My hand came in contact with Hunter's torn shirt that lay wasted on the cold floor. It was his and I saw him rip it off like it was a piece of paper.
"Hunter!!" Estacita plunged into the room and stood Stuck,wide eyed as I met her gaze. "Oh hell!" She cursed
