There was a light drizzle outside as I hurried my way down the hill of my little home to my small chicken coop to check on my little chicken family. The sky was dark gray and I can tell a heavy storm will be coming soon. It was only me who lived in my home on the outskirts of my town. I wanted privacy and have always preferred it. I had no family nor do I have friends. I was alone and I didn't mind it at all. My little family was my little chicken family that consisted of a cock, a hen, and five of their little chicks.

When I arrived the mother hen had her chicks snuggled under her as they sit close to their home away from the drizzling rain.

"Oh no. Why don't you bring your little chicks inside the coop? It is going to rain pretty heavy soon, mama hen." I murmured softly as I approached the mother hen. When she saw me she glanced at me curiously but didn't move. I crouched down and ran my hand on her back.

"You love to look at the rain too, don't you?" I asked. "It's soothing. You and I might love the rain and the thunderstorms but our little baby chicks will be scared to death. We should get you inside."

I picked her up and her chicks began chirping as they followed her and I into the coop. The father was already in the coop sleeping. When I placed her inside she called out to her little babies and when she saw them all near her she lowered herself enough for them to burrow under her body to keep warm. I smiled down at them.

"There we go." I said. I heard distant rumbling in the sky and turned slightly to look out. It was going to rain really soon. I walked out of the coop and closed the fence to keep them inside for the night and to keep out any animals trying to get inside.

I heard noises behind me and I turned around to see nothing. I frowned as I hook the lock into place and continued walking and again I heard a noise again that had me turning to see what it was. When I found nothing, I made my way back up the hill to my small home. When I got inside, I made sure to lock the door in place and glanced briefly back outside to see if I see anything again before turning away.

I walked over to my small comfy sofa where I pulled up my blanket and picked up my book I was reading earlier. The TV playing was distantly in the background as I read my book. I do this because when I read it was too quiet. My home was always quiet and to have something playing keeps it lively and I found solace in it.

I read for a bit until I heard a faint knock on my door. My body was on full alert. I don't normally get visitors and the only ones I get were my neighbor who lived five minutes away from here. She was an elderly woman. I peeked outside the small curtain and saw nothing. I was about to turn again but I heard the knock. I turned back to look and saw nothing. What the hell is going on and who was playing a prank on me? What if it wasn't someone who was playing? My heart was constricted and I found it was harder to breathe.

"Go away. I am not accepting visitors at this hours and if you don't leave I am going to call the cops. I also have a gun." I shouted loudly.

It was quiet for a moment before the knock grew louder and more furious. I backed up quickly, afraid the door was going to fall down at any moment. I moved to grab the nearest weapon which was a broom. I raised it in the air to protect myself as I slowly backed into my kitchen where my gun was at.

"I'm calling the cops right now!" I shouted. The knocking stopped. I breathe a sigh of relief and that's when I heard the sound of glass breaking. Fear ran through my body. Someone broke into my home. I moved to go grab my gun out of the drawer. I went quickly to my bedroom and closed the door. Immediately, I ran to my phone to dial for the police. I pointed the gun towards the door as I waited. I heard heavy footsteps. If I am hearing correctly, it was only one person but he was a man. I can tell because how heavy his footsteps are.

My doorknob to my bedroom began to jiggle. I heard breathing from the other side. I swallowed hard as I glanced at my phone to dial the police. One hand on my phone and one on my gun as I pointed it at the door but it all happened so quickly. The door fell to the ground and a man with red eyes stared at me. I screamed and fired a shot at his chest. His shoulder flew back slightly at the contact but he didn't go down. I shot again. He gave me a slow grin as he slowly walked towards me. I scrambled to get away from him.

"Stay away!" I shouted and fired another shot and when he got closer my finger on the trigger was tapping like crazy until I had no bullets left. The guy was still standing. I looked at him in horror.

"What are you?" I asked horrified. He can't be human. He should be lying down on the ground dead but he was standing in front of me unaffected.

"You will find out soon enough." He whispered before coming after me. I screamed and then something flashed in front of me. The man with red eyes fell to the ground with another man on top of him. I stared in horror as two men I have no clue stood in front of me.

"Get out!" The new man ordered. His voice sending tingles down my spine. I found myself entrapped. I looked at him, captivated. "I said get out!"

The red eye man threw a punch at the man who just ordered me before I saw something I wouldn't have believed if I didn't see it with my own eyes. The red eye man turned into a wolf, a very large one. The man who saved me also turned into a wolf and now they were biting at each other. The shock hit me hard and soon I found the world spinning around me and my eyes fluttering close.

When I awoke, I was still laying in my bedroom floor. Everything came rushing back and I struggled to sit up as I looked around desperately hoping it was all a dream but the dead wolf on the ground told me it wasn't a dream. I saw the man who saved me completely naked on the floor unconscious. I slowly crawled my way towards him and poked his shoulders. When he didn't move I moved him so he fell onto his back.

What I saw took my breath away. He was the most handsome man I have ever laid eyes on. His dark auburn hair falling in curls around his head and his face I am not going to even sugar coat it. He looked dangerous but dangerously sexy. I moved closer to him that my nose almost touched his as I examined his face. When his eyes fluttered open I let out a squeal and fell back on my butt. He pushed himself up so he was leaning against my bed. He clutched at his neck and that was when I saw claw marks on his neck to his chest. He watched me warily.

"A-are you okay?" I whispered.

He smirked, "I'll be fine."

"H-how aren't you dead? The claw mark looks deep." I said quietly.

"I think you already know the answer to that." He replied still watching me as if he wanted a read on me.

"You turned into a wolf." He didn't say anything to my affirmation. He simply just looked at me while I took in the information. He was a wolf. This happened only in books. Werewolves aren't real. I slapped my forehead and then my face. He arched an eyebrow as he watched me.

"What are you doing?" He asked finally curiosity won him over.

"I'm trying to wake up." I replied.

"You aren't dreaming, little moon." He whispered. I shook my head and then stood up.

"Are tooth fairies real?" I asked seriously.

He laughed at that comment but I wasn't joking. If werewolves are real then other mythical creatures must be.

"I have not seem one yet but I am going to say yes if I am real, what makes tooth fairies not real?" He replied back and I nodded.

"Are you going to kill me?" I asked and his face darkened tremendously as if what I said irritated him beyond what I realized.

"No." He growled out angrily and I jumped a little. His facial reaction softened a little. "I would never hurt you, little moon.

"My name is Diedre." I said as I looked at him.

"I know." He whispered.

"How?" I asked.

"You will know one day, little moon."

I was having an inner battle inside of me. He was a stranger but he had also saved my life and in return he got injured. He said he wouldn't hurt me and he proved it by saving me. I bit my lips as I figured out what to do. His golden green eyes dropped to my lips.

"I will help patch you up." I said quietly and moved to go find him a pair of shorts that I have that were big enough to fit him and then I moved to find my first aid kit. When I returned he was sitting on my bed. I walked over and handed him the shorts to which he put on. I then sat down next to him as I showed him the kit. I opened it and began cleaning the wound. 

"I'm surprised you aren't freaking out." He said after a while.

"Yes, well, I did faint. A part of me wants to run the other way but another part tells me you will not hurt me. I feel safe." I replied back and his eyes remained on me as he studied me like a fascinating artwork or puzzle.
