Monday: December 24, 2007
Who: All werewolves and guests at the barrier
When: Before sunset, and onward
Where: Werewolf barrier, Northeastern forest
What: Full moon and a forest full of werewolves

The falling snow gave a false sense of peace for there was nothing peaceful about the full moon, at least not for those who were its prisoner month after month. The silver orb in the sky, hundreds of thousands of miles away, was the catalyst for the violent change in the lycanthropes. No, the peaceful atmosphere upon the land would only last until the sun sank below the horizon. Then the night would be overcome by the howls from each and every lycanthrope.

The lycanthropes traveled to the enclosure before sunset, most of them dressed in old, worn-out clothing that would get destroyed during their transformation. From afar their trek was reminiscent of a death march, slow, reluctant footfalls through the snow until they reached their destination. Christmas Eve did little to alleviate the foreboding aura that descended like the unending snow.

Tonight, the snow would bleed. Deep crimson seeping through the pristine crystals until it reached the frozen earth. There would be few areas free from the bloodshed, and the carnage. It was the reason the enclosure was needed. It confined the werewolves, and their murderous rage to an area free of humans and praeternaturals. It kept the citizens safe to enjoy their winter holiday while the wolves raced through the trees and underbrush after their prey.

Zach and Adrienne

Zach knew what the full moon meant for tonight. While there was a part of it that was potentially scary, it wasn’t as frightening an aspect for him as it was for other people. Werewolves were transforming all over the grounds somewhere on the other side of the barrier, but he also knew that somewhere out there was Adrienne going through the same thing. They had been practicing for months to try and get her to recognize him in werewolf form, which had been working. Each time he saw her lately, she recognized him, the fearful animal features became soft, almost akin to a puppy’s face, and she looked more like a friendly companion than a beast on the prowl.

He walked her out here earlier, watched as she made her way behind the barrier and waved to him one last time with a smile, and waited until she disappeared from sight. He always waited until she disappeared before he headed back home for a little bit. Zach might as well have his own supper while Adrienne was out hunting hers for the night. It would have taken maybe two hours or three before he saw here again, anyway. Adrienne needed to hunt before she could communicate with him; when the beast came out, it was hungry.

After he finished eating, he paid a short visit to his parents’ home and stayed there for a little bit. Then, he was on his way back to the barrier around the northeast forest. Faithfully as before, Zach sat down on a particularly lush piece of ground once he felt for the invisible barrier and his fingers grazed it. He wanted the closest spot he could get near the boundary. Picking up his light whistle, he blew a soundless call out into the night — a call only a werewolf would hear, and one Adrienne would recognize.

Zach and Adrienne

Several hours had passed since Adrienne last saw Zach at the barrier. The memory was foggy within the mind of the beast, and there were times when the wolf struggled to make sense of the figures it saw in its mind. It was something like a dream, only the wolf knew that it was real. The people in the dream were real, and that the boy was someone that it cared for.

The wolf cared for and remembered the boy, and it was the trigger that brought Adrienne forward to exert some control. It was becoming easier with every full moon due to the efforts that she and Zach had made. He was her pillar of strength in all of this, and she would have been a mindless killer without his love and support.

The high pitched squeal of the whistle pierced through the night sky. Other lycanthropes would hear the sound, but only Adrienne would respond to it. It was Zach's signal to her that he was waiting by the barrier. She, and the wolf, were trained to its sound, and she ran rapidly through the trees until she reached the edge of the forest.

Adrienne was barely recognizable in her werewolf form, but Zach was used to seeing her when she was a two-legged beast. She lingered around the tree line for a few minutes, eying the area around Zach before she made her way toward him. She ran forth, but not like an animal on the attack. It was excitement, and happiness, and the usually savage wolf even wagged its tail during the approach.

She was running at near full speed on all fours until the barrier stopped her. She had forgotten about the invisible shield in all of her excitement. Instead of letting out a yelp of pain Adrienne shook her head, and growled deeply in the back of her throat. The lycan stood on her hind legs, and chuffed at the barrier in a challenging manner. The werewolf was easily angered, but the moment its eyes met with Zach's she became calm, and docile.

Adrienne sniffed at the barrier, and reached out with one claw to test the distance. Her eyes had returned to being blue, and green, and they showed every emotion she was feeling. The werewolf leaned forward to lick the barrier, sad that that was as close as she was allowed to get. She looked at Zach sadly, and tried to let him know that she was sorry before she let out a lonely howl.
