"Prism!"

OMG it's Cory! Stay calm, play it cool. Just say hi...

"Salut, Cory! Comment allez-vous?"

Not in French ya' dumbass!

I panicked okay? You think of something!

Dumbass.

I really need to stop arguing with myself....

"Je vais bien merci d'avoir demandé" Cory replied casually.

Holy shit....

Sweet mother Teresa on THE HOOD OF A FUCKING MERCEDES BENZ!! HE SPEAKS MY LANGUAGE!!! 😧😧😧😧😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😳😳😳😳

Wait...if he knows French then that means....

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IF HE REALLY DID READ MY JOURNAL?!!! OH MY GODS, OH MY GODS, OH GREAT ODIN'S GHOST, HOLY SHIT!!!!!

"Prism? Are you okay?"

"Hm? O-oh yeah! I'm fine,"

LIES. ALL LLIIIIIIIEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!

"You look like you're about to pass out,"

OH GEE I WONDER WHY?!!!

INNER WOLF SHUT UP!!

CAN YOU LIKE GIVE ME A DIFFERENT NAME?! I'M STARTING TO HATE BEING CALLED THAT.

WELL IT'S NOT LIKE-

We're sorry. The number you are currently trying to call is unavailable, please try again NEVER.

Oh, right. I forgot to dial BITCH first!

Listen you lil shit! The only reason why you're not dead or crazy yet, is because of me! Otherwise you'd be just as worthless as any common human on the street!

Oh, so I'm just a tool for you?! Is that it?!

No! I'm just an embodiment of your soul. Which makes it safe to say that at least my dad never SLEPT WITH A DOG!!

OKAY YOU WANNA GO?!!

FUCKING BRING IT! I CAN TAKE YOU WITH MY EYES CLOSED!!

"GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrr......"

Cory stared at Prism who was looking at her reflection in the window. She was growling like the true wolf she was, but why?

"Prism! Snap out of it! I can tell you're arguing with inner wolf,"

I blinked multiple times and then yelped when I unintentionally pulled one of my ears.

"H-how can you tell? Only other spirits and myself can see her,"

"You made it pretty obvious when you kept spacing out,"

I facepalmed.

Of course, he can tell! He's Cory! What thing can he NOT do?!

"I'm sorry. She was being...complicated?"

Dumbass...

Oh, quiet you!

"You need me for something?" I asked as I put on my files.

Files. Fake smiles.

"I just thought I should let you know that Koushiro stole your journal yesterday. I got it back from him and returned it,"

That son of a-

Quiet.

"Thank you for telling me. I had a feeling he did even though I smelled your scent on it. However, since I'm so nice I slipped something a little special in his lunch and it should kick in 5....4.....3......2.....1....."

"Koushiro! Get back here!"

"I'M A BALLLLEEEEERRRRRRRRRRIIIIIINNNNNNAAAAAA!!!!!~"

Koushiro came down the hallway spinning in a perfect pirouette with a captive Fang in his arms.

"TO THE SUGAR PLUM CASTLE WE GO MY PRINCE!!~"

"No homo! NO HOMO! NO TO THE FREAKING HOMO SOMEONE HELP ME!!"

Lily, Jonathan, Julia, and some of the others ran after him. Skylar stopped to ask me the question I've been expecting.

"What were in those cookies?"

"You'd be surprised what a mixture of Catnip and Devil's Breath can do. The effect will wear off by tomorrow. Though...he'll be in a zombie like trance when the Devil's Breath kicks in,"

"What did he do?"

"Cory caught him stealing my journal, don't worry though. In this state Koushiro will be basically harmless. I guess he's all yours to do whatever you want with till tomorrow,"

"I don't know whether to be impressed or angry with you, but seeing him in a tutu is pretty hilarious. He....won't remember any of this will he?"

I shook my head "no, the Devil's Breath will make sure of that. When it wears off its victims don't remember anything from the last 24 hours so, you're good. Have fun!"

Skylar ran off leaving me with Cory. "Where did you get that stuff anyway?" Cory asked. "I got Catnip from the pet store and the flowers from some dude on the street. I just happened to know its effects and what it's used for, most humans use it for medical reasons while those on the street use it to take advantage of women,"

(A/N: That's an actual fact. Devil's Breath isn't really dangerous, it just depends on what it's used for. Doctors use it to treat motion sickness and nausea as well as before surgeries to reduce saliva. In South America-especially Colombia, it's just used to literally take advantage of women. It's a powerful drug in its own way, but like the old saying: Great power comes with great responsibility. When I had surgery the doctors used some of it on me and I literally don't remember anything after they put that mask on me. Everything just went black and I was like: ooohhhhh!!! Magic xD)

"How did you know about the effects?"

I sighed and began to walk away. "I've experienced the effects of it when I was 14,"

**************

I can't believe he asked that. At least I was vague about it though, I don't really want to tell him what exactly happened. I really don't remember, but Ivy knows since she saved me from him.

That and also mom doesn't use over the counter medicine. She uses natural herbs.

Let's see...what to write about while Koushiro is tripping off my little "Foxnip"...I still can't believe I pulled that off 😆

I even put some special shrooms in his breakfast for tomorrow. Oh, it's going to be GLORIOUS!! 😆

Now...I guess I should write about the Moon Cave and....maybe that thing that happened with mom and the bears we ran into. Who knows! I'll just wing it here. I have a lot of memories with my family.

I'm telling you though, my mom is such a badass. I love my daddy and all, but Mema is best parent :D

And yes, I'm referring them as that since I'm starting to miss them.

"Hey, Prizzy! Your mum and Aquarius are here!" I heard daddy call out as I finished dressing. Miia poked her head out of the tent and squawked as the motorcycle drove into the camp.

Yeah. My Mema owns a freaking motorcycle. Again. Badass mom of the century.

"Hi, Aquarius!" I waved. Yeah, I was still a bit mad at mom, but I couldn't stay mad at Aquarius. She's too nice for this world.

Aquarius got off the motorcycle and smiled as I ran into her arms. "Hello, Prism. Did you sleep well?"

"I guess. There was this strange voice I heard...something about me being the Child of the Moon or something,"

I heard collective gasps from my parents and Ojīchan. Aquarius decided to ease the tension by bringing me the greatest thing in existence.

Bacon.

"Oh, look at what I've got!"

"Bacon!!"

I swear if bacon was a god I'd worship it. After that was out of the way, we began our travel to the moon cave with Ojīchan leading the way.

"Oh, you're wearing the dress I bought you,"

"I thought I should wear it for such a nice day," Mom replied as she moved closer to dad.

I swear to Fenrir himself. My parents are drunk off each other...the longer dad is from home the stronger their love gets when he returns. Which led to my little siblings being born....🙄😖😝

"It looks good on you,"

"Because, I'm fabulous!" Mom flipped her hair as dad wrapped his arm around her waist.

"I swear if you two start making out again, I'm painting all the weapons in the house pink," I said as I walked ahead of them. "Now don't do that!! I hate pink!!" My parents yelled in unison. I looked around the forest trail, taking in the lovely scenery and then I saw a.....

"Squirrel."

Okay, I had to mention that because, why do people not understand why dogs chase squirrels?!

I mean their tails are so bushy and twitchy...they have this innocent, unaware look in their eyes...and they make this annoying chitter chatter sound that drives you crazy and.....ggrrrrrrrrr must.chase.squirrel.

"SQUIRREL, SQUIRREL, SQUIRREL!!" I happily chased after it in a crazed stupor. "Don't go to far Prizzy!" I heard dad's voice yell out as I disappeared into the bushes.

I nearly caught the fluffy little critter until it ran up a tree. Since, I was still in a daze I ran headfirst into it.

How did I not have a concussion then is beyond me. -_-'

"Awww! I wanted the Squirrelly-poo!"

Yeah, I was a weird kid in an adorable way. XD

Then I heard a rustle behind me. Instead of being a childish idiot I sniffed the air to make sure it was a squirrel before I stupidly decided to pounce on it.

It was most definitely not a squirrel.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

"Prism?!"

"BEAR, BEAR, BEAR, BEAR, WHY IS YOGI SO MEAN??!!!!" I screamed as I ran back to my parents and hid behind my dad who pulled out his gun. Two bears burst out the bushes roaring ferociously.

"Aquarius, Prizzy. Stay close to Alpha-"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Awwww look at how 'ferocious' and 'terrifying' that are! I'm really shaking in my boots-pfft! Who am I kidding? I watched too many adventure shows with Bear Grylls-I can't take them seriously! I'm sorry-AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Aquarius, dad, and me sweatdropped at mom who was laughing hysterically at the bears.

"Fauna! Love, could you snap out of it?! Prism almost became their little picnic basket,"

Mom stopped laughing, but she was still at least giggling as she wiped away some stray tears. "You're right. I'm sorry dear, but just look at them!"

"Fauna..." Dad began. "Okay! Okay! All joking aside...just stay with the kids, I got this,"

"That's what you said last time when we went shopping on Black Friday..." Dad muttered under his breath.

Don't ask what happened. Just don't get between mom and her extreme couponing skillz.

That poor lady though....she never stood a chance at getting that purse....

"Prism, watch Mema as she shows you how to piss off an opponent,"

This lady...I swear... -3-

"If you ever find yourself face to face with an enemy, regardless of what it is..."

Mom dodges the bears' claws with a backflip. "Try to do as many backflips as possible. Eventually, they'll become too impressed with your sick moves to want to attack you..."

One bear attacks mom from the side, but she jumped up onto the other one's head and jump kicked off of it. "And if available to you it helps to have a strong victory laugh at the ready....HAHAHA!! Yeah, can't touch this can you motherfuckers?!"

"Prizzy, don't ever do this. Your mum is....special,"

"Aren't I special too, Daddy?" I asked innocently making my dad laugh nervously. "Not that kind of special, Prizzy,"

"Like I always say: Survival is something anyone can do as long as you remain cccccaaaaaaaaaalllllll....."

Mom trailed off as she noticed a piece of her dress fall onto the ground. Everything went quiet as mom's eyes closed and her fists clenched to the point that her hands started to bleed. Then her eyes opened, but they weren't that gentle blue we all knew and loved.

"*sigh* They fucked up now," Dad sighed as he buried his face into his hand.

"you...you MOTHERFUCKERS!!!" Mom went into a blind rage as she viciously attacked the bear with multiple punches. She was punching them so hard her Ōkami powers activated that when she punched one of the bears it lit a few trees on fire.

Bears vs. Bear MomGrylls xD

She turned towards the other one, with her Ōkami markings glowing brightly on her face.

"WHAT?! YOU WANT SOME TOO?!!!"

Dad merely shot the bear with a deadpanned look.

Seriously, he looked like he was done with mom's crap xD

"Daddy!"

"Don't worry Prizzy, it was just a tranquilizer dart. I wouldn't kill it knowing that would make you upset,"

Mom laughed nervously as she looked at the bear she knocked out. "Anyone up for some Bear Jerky?"

"We'll stick to beef," everyone replied in unison with a sweatdrop. "Seriously, dear...how the hell did you take it out in one hit when it took, Inari knows how many punches from me?"

"Also, 1/8 of the forest," Alpha added with a dry laugh. "Hey! Bears are supposed to prevent forest fires! It's not my fault that they can't do their damn job right!" Mom replied.

"First of all: I had a Tranquilizer gun. Secondly, when designing my weapons I made sure they could cut any beast down as swiftly as possible. If only it wasn't a permanent reminder of the lives that were ruined....and the many more that were lost..."

Now I know where I got the emo thing from. Déjà vu to the max! XD

"Yeah and that's why I stopped wearing skirts after one of my Succubus friends got drunk at my bachelorette party," mom added. Dad didn't think much of it until he took a double take at what she said.

"Wait. WHAT?!"

"Nothing, dear. I just don't get how my friend outdid my own husband..."

MOM WHAT DID YOU TWO DO?!!

Back on track to the Moon Cave, I found out that it was in the Pyrenees mountains. The mountain range that bordered France and Spain in a beautiful display of natural beauty.

"Ah, I love a good mountain climb," Dad smiled as we neared ever closer to our destination. "Why is that daddy?" I asked curiously, I've never really climbed a mountain before.

"Well, I find it relaxing and more of a self accomplishing feat to have climbed a massive mountain with your own strength. When you get to the top you feel like you can do anything and you just want to make a statement of that to the world..."

Dad glanced at mom with a devious smirk. "Daddy, what are you doing?" I giggled. Dad raised a finger to his lips before sneaking up behind mom and carrying her in his arms bridal style.

"WOAH! What are you doing?!"

Dad ran to the edge of the mountain trail and lifted mom high in the air.

"I LOVE MY WIFE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

My dad is such a dork!! 😆

"Connor Lunaire, if you don't put me down right now I swear I'll-mmph!"

I remember rolling my eyes when dad silenced mom with a kiss. They were such a beautiful couple despite their family backgrounds. Both were feared, both were afraid of hurting one another, but having faith in each other is what kept them together for so long.

He didn't care what she was or what she did in the past. She didn't care if he was killer or a human. They didn't care about any of that, they knew that beyond such a persona was the person they fell in love with.

I'm sorry, I just love my parents so much. They're proof that the impossible is possible. That love really does conquers all, as long as you give it a chance.

Even when we found out about how dad died.....mom...she kept going. She was able move on with her life which was no easy task for Werewolves. Everyone at the pack offered their condolences and apologies, but she put on smile and brushed them off.

Even dad's family came by to check on her. Which I don't blame them, at the time mom was three months pregnant with the quadruplets and they found it sad for a pregnant woman to be on her own taking care of what....

Hold on. Got to do the math...

Aquarius+Me+Quadruplets (4)= six

Six kids! She was on her own for five years taking care of six kids!

That's definitely not easy. I was devastated, but I had to learn to take care of myself for mom's sake. Same with Aquarius, we were both forced to grow up early just to help out mom in any way we could.

At first, she was pissed as hell about it because she wanted us to enjoy our childhood. Yet, me and Aquarius refused to sit back and let her handle things on her own. She may have fooled everyone that she was fine, but she wasn't. She was just as broken as we were.

(Prism: age 11/ Fauna: six months pregnant.   October 31st)

"Girls, look. I know you're worried about me and I'm grateful for all the hard work you've been doing, but I'm telling you...I'm fine."

I shook my head stubbornly. At that time, since dad past away I've stopped talking. Everyone had tried to get me to speak, but I never uttered a word or made a sound. They all assumed I'd gone mute, it made sense since I was so close with my dad.

Aquarius even tried. She left me alone thinking I would find my own reason to speak, but then became desperate when I stopped singing.

Seriously, what is with her and my singing voice? Does it give her some kind of sick pleasure or something? Although....for some reason she's always had these really bad scars on her left arm. Whenever I sung to her they gradually healed to the point that you barely notice them.

She even seemed stronger than last time when she was controlling her water magic....

I wonder if it had something to do with the power of the Moon Wolves. The moon does control the tides and is associated with water. Maybe I cured her of something?

I dunno...Aquarius is a mystery I still don't understand. She did tell me she had past reincarnations of herself. She remembered why she hated Demons, apparently she was a "complete bitch" before she died and was reborn to where my dad found her in Canada.

She said she did things she wasn't proud of. She was afraid that she would repeat them with me, but she didn't. That's why she was always secluded from everyone, she was afraid of repeating the past. When I started singing she said that I lifted a heavy weight that's been on her shoulder for gods know how long. She grew to love me like we were actual family and promised to protect me.

Just like my parents -_-'

I believed her about what she said about her past. If anything, she freaking deserved it even though she didn't mention about who the Demon was that beat her ass. Whatever happened, it really did made her good. Otherwise, she wouldn't have lifted a finger to try to help Lucius(TRIGGERED) for my sake.

Whoever it was that kicked her ass...thank you! I wouldn't have met Aquarius if you hadn't brutally murdered her! 😄

Gods. That's messed up! That sounded so fucked up 😆

Anyway back to mom. This was one of the saddest moments I experienced with mom.

"Mrs. Lunaire, we can't stand seeing you like this. Everyone is worried, Prism is worried, I'm worried! Mr. Lunaire's death affected us all, but that doesn't mean you have to deal with the pain on your own!"

I nodded my head in agreement. Aquarius knew exactly what I was thinking, this was something we all had to overcome as a family.

"I'm not dealing with the pain, Aquarius. I'm accepting it,"

My eyes widened. "H-how? After, everything that's happened...don't you want to get revenge on the monster that killed YOUR husband? Prism and your unborn children's father?! How can you accept that?!" Aquarius yelled out, on the verge of tears herself.

"Getting revenge isn't going to bring Connor back. Just because, someone took the love of my life away doesn't mean I have to take away they're loved ones! Revenge isn't the answer to everything, having the strength to move on and accepting what life gives you...that's what truly matters. Am I upset? Yes! Do I hate the person who took him away? Damn straight I do!"

"THEN WHY BOTHER TRYING TO ACCEPT IT?!" I finally yelled out startling mom and Aquarius.

"We were...we were supposed to be a family...he promised he'd be home for my birthday...h-he promised, he promised me..." I was literally speaking through my tears. Everything I had endured finally crashed down on me, I was suffering to the point I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think straight.

I didn't understand.

I didn't WANT to understand.

************************

As I was writing I realized that I was crying. There were tear stains on the pages where my tears fell.

I was crying.

I haven't done that in a while. Yeah, I cried over Jeri, but I didn't cry THIS hard...it felt like that suffocating feeling I experienced when I was younger.

My heart...it won't stop hurting...

I can't....breathe...

I want to forgive and forget...but I can't...

I'm....scared...

"Daddy..."

***********************

I miss you...why didn't you stay home? Were you so angry at Zia that you thought things would be better by trying to exterminate every Demon on the planet?

This is all my fault! If only I was stronger then everyone wouldn't feel the need to protect me. Then you would still be alive...and so would Aquarius...and Ojīchan.

I hate myself.

They weren't murdered.

I was the one that killed them.

Why do I even bother wasting everyone's time with me if I can't do anything?

"Prism,"

"I want you to listen to what I'm about to tell you..."

"It's hard to kill and it's even harder to forgive that person for taking a life away. People come and go in this world, life moves on for all of us, pain is like a double edged sword. It can hurt you and it can hurt someone else, to master it you have to learn from it. No one can change the past, but you can change your future. Starting with forgiveness..."

"But, Mema..."

"Sweetie, your father isn't coming back. No matter how many tears you shed, no matter how many lives you take in revenge, that's not going to change what already has been done. You and I both know your father wasn't going to be here forever and he himself knew it and he accepted it. Yes, I'm heartbroken that he'll never get to see you graduate, get married, and have your own kids. However, he'll always be with us, he'll always be with you...his 'little sheila' Prizzy,"

"Mema!"

I ran into my mother's arms and cried. I even felt her own tears as we hugged, mom really was different from other Werewolves. She was independent, loyal, kind, and strong.

I'm proud to call her my Mema.

"Dry those tears, Prism. I wanted to hear your voice again, but not like this. So, please...for my sake and for those who love you...smile. Come back to us as the carefree, energetic pup we all know and love. Especially, for your father who loved you oh so much,"

"I love you Mema, I love you so much! Please! Please, don't leave me too!"

"I love you too. I'm not going anywhere, not until you've lived your life and your siblings are happy. That goes for you too...Aquarius,"

"Mrs. Lunaire..."

"No...that's 'Mother' to you. You're my pup as well,"

We stayed in at that embrace for so long. Yet, that was the time where things started to get worse.

I didn't finish explaining about the Moon Cave, but there's something I need to write in case something happens to me. A clue to stopping Zia if she ever returns, a clue that might explain who and what I am.

The prophecy that one of the Old Ones told me. One of the original Moon Wolves that were told in tales. She called me the Child of the Moon, much like that other voice did.

I still don't get it. I mean Luna's name makes more sense than 'Prism' 😒

Oh, well. Let me get this off my chest before someone notices my angsty mood.

Upon the day the dark one returns, a child blessed of the Moon shall bring forth an era of sorrow and the rise of nature.

It shall begin on the day that what is green turns red, a broken heart shall usher forth an age of inhumanity and a time of strife.

Once fire burns blue, the young one will mark the beginning of a rebellion.

It shall be then, when the moon turns bright, a refusal shall cause an eternal night and the birth of the false god.

*****************

I released the breath that I had apparently been holding. I rubbed my throat as it now felt sore.

Maybe I should ask Julia for that tea she made, it was really good.

The tears were dried up from my little flashback. They stained like I thought they would, but the words were still legible. The area around where I had wrote about the prophecy was miraculously untouched.

It's funny how I was able to write it out.

Especially in the Old Norse language....

*knock knock!*

I quickly wiped away any stray tears and placed my journal under my pillow. "Come in!"

Shit! That really strained my throat...

Skylar appeared in the doorway. "Is this a bad time?"

"No. I just have a sore throat, I'll be fine after a cup of tea and a tub of vanilla ice cream. How can I help you?"

Yes, helping out my friends is the closest thing I can do to get stronger. I'll help in any way I can...

"Do have anymore of that stuff you gave to Shiro?"

Except for that.

"No, why?"

"Nikki,"

Ohhhhh now, I understand. Love rival.

"I have a breakfast muffin I baked with 'special shrooms' I got from a Witch. I don't know what they do, but I'm sure it will be absolutely GLORIOUS,"

"Thank you! Umm...don't tell anyone about this..."

"I'm willing to take the fall. I'm not scared of a Vamp, just do what you have to do okay?"

"Thanks, Prism,"

"SKYSHIRO IS LIFE!"

I heard Skylar laugh before she closed the door. Luna then came in with a questioning look.

"Fido, are you handing out drugs?"

"They're not drugs. Magical ingredients I bought from a Witch and a Wizard, therefore they're potions I cooked with regular food,"

"Are you sure you're not part Witch or something?"

"I don't even know who I am anymore," I sighed as I leaned back on the bed.

Then I remembered something important. "Can you see if Julia can make me some tea again? My throat feels like I just gargled liquid silver,"

"Sure, I got to ask her something anyway. I just came to check on you,"

"Thanks, Luna. I'm sorry, for being so much work..."

"So much work?! Fido, you're our friend and friends stick together,"

A smile grew on my lips as I stared at the ceiling. "Thanks again, Luna... I really needed that,"

(A/N: almost 5,000 words! I was halfway there, but I started crying when I was writing the aftermath of Connor's death. That was based off my family after my dad died last year in November. It really tore us apart as my mom stayed strong for us, but struggled with her health. Like how Prism explained how her dad's death changed her was literally me. I was mute for an entire year, before I was able to talk again. I was really attached to my dad and I blamed myself for what happened. What Fauna said is what my mom told me although I changed a bit of it.

"It's hard to kill and it's even harder to forgive yourself when you take a life. We cannot always point fingers for a tragedy like that, we are all meant to die. Even though someone you love isn't here anymore, doesn't mean they're gone forever. They did what they wanted to do in this life and now they're at peace where they don't have to suffer anymore."

Also that prophecy....I can't believe that my poem could've been useful for such a thing. I wrote that back in third grade!

High five little me

Little me: I AM BATMAN!!

Gods, I was weird kid...

Anywho, I hope you enjoyed this new bit of Prism's life. Starting next week things are gonna get darker...and the timeline will be caught up to chapter 18 and 19 of The Irregular At Summertown High on January 1st. However, since Prism is captured and her journal is in the possession of the gang I'm going to  leave our heroes some hints. Prism isn't all precious and full of life, at least...not anymore now that Zia has her.

Welp, goodnight/morning everybody!

That's all folks!)
