First Night

So as I'm sure is common knowledge around here now, I am a werewolf. Every once in a while (not really that often) my first night gets brought up. I'll tell you what it was terrifying. I decided to share the story here (I'm pretty sure the pack wont mind, am not technically breaking the rules). I guess that's all I really have to say...enjoy :D



First Night:

Jordan hated going outside alone at night. Living in the middle of nowhere meant there could be all sorts of wild animals out there. She dragged the bag of trash behind the house and placed it in the garbage can. She was just about to turn around when she heard something growl from the bushes. "Oh crap..." she whispered as she peered into the shrubbery. A pair of large green eyes looked back at her. She turned to run when she felt a sharp pain in her calf. She fell to the ground with a small cry and looked back at her attacker. The thing was gone. She sat up and looked at her bite mark. it hadn't bitten really deep, just enough to draw blood. She limped inside and cleaned it with rubbing alcohol.

She didn't sleep well that night. She kept tossing and turning and her leg burned like crazy. She sat up in bed and stared out the window at the moon. She had always thought the moon was pretty but had never been quite as captivated by it as she was tonight. "Full moons are so...pretty." she thought and as she stared at it she was able to ignore the pain in her leg.

When morning came she was glad for it being the first day of summer break. She really did not feel like going anywhere that day. In fact she felt tired all day. 'probably because I didn't sleep last night.' she thought absently. Her leg looked much better that day, almost like it never happened at all. "Well that's good anyway." She mumbled as she was inspecting it. She didn't think about it for the rest of the day.

She spent her first day of summer out at the lake where her family had a camp site every year. It was very peaceful watching the sun go down while she dipped her toes in the cool water. When dusk finally faded in to night she looked around for the full moon. She spotted it rising just off the horizon and sighed, "how lovely." she smiled.

Suddenly her ear started to itch. She reached up to scratch it and what she felt wasn't right. Her normally very small rounded ear was now large and pointy. "What!" She gasped in surprise but her occupation with her ear soon faded as she looked at her hands. Her fingers felt painful as they seemed to shrink, she could feel the bones snapping into place as the skin on her fingertips toughened and her hand grew thick soft fur the same shiny brownish red color of her own hair. "No!" She cried in surprise as she tried to brush the fur off of her paws. She stood up to rush into the wood where she couldn't be seen only to fall over again. Her feet had slipped out of there shoes and she looked in horror to see that they had lengthened and slimmed into paws as well. the fur crept up her body quickly and she scooted into the woods just off the path. "Make it stop!" she cried out in pain and fear. As the fur started growing along her back a pain hit her at the base of her spine and her body forced her onto all fours. Her panic grew as she felt her spine elongating she looked back to see a tail had sprouted from the base of her spine. It had even ripped a large hole in the seat of her favorite shorts. "What's...heppenin-" she tried to speak but her jaw had changed shape. Her face was elongating and her teeth were spreading apart and growing sharper. She pawed at her new muzzle trying to will it to change back. 'This can't be happening.' she thought, 'It's not real, its not!' a final sharp pain ripped through her body, it felt as though it was tearing her in two from nose to tail. claws burst from her paws, her tail pulled itself out to it's full length, and her face fully shifted from girl to wolf within the split second of that tear and the pain of it forced a howl from her mouth. After that the transformation was complete.
'No!' she panicked, 'This isn't right, I'm not a wolf, I'm a girl! A normal human girl!' She wanted to yell it out loud at her body but found that growling and small yips were the only sounds she could make.
She ran off the woods ready to start her new life as a wolf, She was completely unaware that once the sun was up she would be back to herself, a normal human girl. That first night was truly the worst night of her life.

Well I mean we all know you're a lovely werewolf so I'm sure sharing stories is fine. That aside, this is pretty awesome and I'd love to hear more about your experiences as a wolf on earth and how the whole werewolf society works

Oh really? Well I have been doing werewolfy stuff since the summer before my junior year in high school so I'm sure theres plenty of stories i could tell.

Oh my gosh! I have to share the story of the SeaPanda then! OH MY GOOD GOLLY GOSH!

Nickolas

Jordan woke the next morning in her home with a splitting headache. At first she was confused as to why she had been sleeping in the bathtub. She looked down and realized she was completely naked and covered in blood. Last nights memories hit her like a boot to the head and she sat up to quickly. She winced as her stomach lurched and hugged her knees to her chest. She remembered the transformation very clearly but after that only flashes. There was lots of running through corn fields and something about a deer. "Well at least it's not human blood." She said, that fact only slightly comforted her. She knew next time it could be human blood. "Next time!" She panicked as she realized there was going to be a next time and there was probably nothing she could do about it. A knock came on the bathroom door.
"Jordan quit hogging the bathroom I want to take a shower!" Her sister Paige yelled from the other side of the door. Jordan panicked again, she couldn't let anyone see her covered in blood like this.
She quickly ran the shower water and whipped the curtain closed. "Sorry, you'll have to wait 'til I'm done!" she called over the sound of the water.
"Wow what a jerk..." Paige mumbled as she was heard walking away.
Jordan sighed in relief, "That was to close." she muttered and she began trying to wash the dried blood off of her skin.

She wasn't sure how to act normal that day so she spent most of the time alone up in her room. When the sun started to go down she ran downstairs and outside. "Hey Jo, wanna play hide and seek outside tonight?" Jordan stopped, knowing she didn't have much time. She looked down into the hopeful eyes of her little brother, Alex.
"Sorry buddy, not tonight. You better stay inside its supposed to be chilly." She tried.
"Then why are you going outside?" He asked smartly. Jordan winced, of all the people in the world no one was more precious to her than Alex, she couldn't let him be outside where ha could get hurt.
"Please Alex, just promise me you'll stay inside tonight, I'll play hide and seek with you tomorrow." She patted her brother on the head.
He looked at her suspiciously, "Fine." he gave in. She could hear the disappointment in his voice. "I'm going to go play Halo." He walked into the living room and Jordan sighed in relief.
"I'm sorry Alex," she whispered, "No full moon tomorrow though, I think that's how this works..." She rushed outside and ran into the barn. It seemed as safe a place as any. She sat in the corner and watched the sky get darker, waiting for the transformation to start.

The barn had always been a little creepy to her. Her family didn't really have much use for it so her neighbors held their farming equipment inside. The hayloft was home to at least seven vultures but Jordan had never minded those, she actually liked them. She had even once decided that she was going to adopt them as pets. She watched the sky grow darker and listened to the vultures moving around above her. Suddenly, she heard something different. It was like the sound of a small chain clanking around like it was shaken. Out of the shadows of the dark barn a great black wolf slowly moved away from the shadows. Jordan was to afraid to move.
"I am here to make you an offer." He spoke as plainly as a person and Jordan stepped back in surprise.
"How are you doing that?" She asked, remembering that the night before she had lost her ability to speak like a human.
The black wolf gave her a stern look and didn't respond for a moment. "You don't remember much about last night do you?" He almost sounded like he was mocking her.
"I remember enough." She said boldly, she felt like she was trying to prove something to this wolf.
"I am only making this offer once." Stated the wolf, "you will listen carefully because I will ot repeat myself. If you want to keep control of your mind, be able to change at will and lessen the pain of the change then you will follow me and I will take you to the pack."
She thought about her family, barely a hundred yards away safe inside their house. She thought about Alex and she knew she had to be able to keep control, she had to keep him safe. "I'll go with you." She told the black wolf.

At about that moment the sun finally sank below the horizon and night shrouded the sky in her dark blanket. Jordan felt the too familiar itch of fur sprouting along her body. She whimpered in pain as the transformation snapped bones into place. "Stop making such a fuss." The black wolf snarled. Jordan tried to remain silent and managed to let out only a yip when the final rip rushed through her again. The pain left her immobilized for a few moments and her body shuddered violently. The black wolf looked over her form, "I've seen worse." he said flatly, "The coat isn't a very appealing color but I suppose we don't really choose do we." He glanced at his own sleek black coat, "I guess some of us are just born lucky.' he said pridefully. "You should come with me now." He told he and he left the barn for the moonlit field outside.

Beyond the field was a forest that Jordan had never really explored before even though it was so close to her house. She followed the talking wolf deeper into the forest until she came across a large pack of wolves, about twenty or so wolves were grouped together. "They're preparing for the hunt tonight." explained the black wolf, "but first we must welcome our new sister." He glanced at Jordan who was busy trying to ask questions and only making wolf sounds. She really wanted to ask how the black wolf was able to use human speech but it came out in a series of little growling noises.

The entire pack fell into a hush and all sat and watched a large white wolf enter into the clearing. He was magnificent looking. His coat gleaming like silver in the moonlight, his sleek body moved gracefully through the pack and he seemed to look through each one of the wolves when he glanced at them. "Brothers and sisters, it appears as though a new little pup has decided to become a member of our family." He spoke with amazing authority and Jordan was instantly in awe.
The black wolf pressed his paw against Jordan's back "You're supposed to step forward." He muttered through gritted teeth.
Jordan wondered what it was she had gotten herself as she stepped forward. she was to busy looking up at the majestic white wolf to see what happened but she felt a tight cinching on her left wrist as a band clasped itself around her. "This is a symbol of your loyalty to our pack. With it comes greater control of your new power and a great responsibility. You must remain with the pack and follow our rules in order to keep that band. Fail those obligations and the band shall be forcibly removed from you, along with your ability to remain human."
Jordan didn't like the sound of that but beyond choosing to follow the black wolf she hadn't really had much say in the matter as she couldn't talk.
"Brothers and sisters of the night, let us welcome our newest pup." Declared the white wolf. The pack threw back their heads and howled in unison. The white wolf leaned in close to Jordan's ear and whispered, "If you have any questions your pack brother Nickolas will guide you."
"Nickolas?" asked Jordan and she jumped at her sudden ability to speak, she wondered what was in the band that made this possible.
"Nickolas is the wolf that brought you here tonight. He is your creator." explained the white wolf.
Jordan cringed as she looked over at the prideful and unsympathetic wolf who had led her there. She wondered what the white wolf meant by creator as she reluctantly took her place beside him. She planned to have a lot of questions for Nickolas.

Wow. I am impressed with your ability to re-tell events ^.^
I always did wonder how it exactly came about. I want to hear more if you feel like telling
