Crescent Moon : Part 1

*** The continuation of FULL MOON: INTRO

I was kneeling on the cold damp dirty floor with Drake in my arms. I was crying over his dead lifeless body, as the dark figure with red hair blowing in the wind like fire dancing in the night was laughing. she turned around, and the look on her face of pure hatred and disgust sent a evil chill down my spine. She appeared right in front of me, started choking me as she lifted me to my feet. My strength began to drain, so when the woman had drained it all she hugged my body close and whispered "Since your lover is dead I will be taking your heart" as she spoke those icy words, her hand struck through my heart and ripped it out.

I woke up screaming with tears rolling down my cheek. I looked around and noticed the bed was floating. As I calmed myself down, the bed began to slowly drift back to the ground. Remembering what happened last night I ran down stairs to the living, yet when I got there I was in shock, the big hole in the wall where the monster got sent flying out was gone. It looked as nothing happened last night, so could it all had been a dream. I walked into the kitchen and there was my parents, yet they both had stern expression not their usual cheery everything is alright expressions.

"Whats wrong." I whispered, knowing something was wrong.
"Nothing dear we" my mom started but my dad quickly interrupted "What happened last night!"
"Well I went on a date with Drake and came home and there was this big scary monster!" I cried, knowing my parents wouldn't believe me.
"We know Drake told us! But how did you scary him off?" My mom asked puzzled.
"Well it charged at me and wrapped it arms around me, but I felt a burning spark flow thru my body and it focused in my hands. I put my hands on the beast and all of a sudden he got blasted away from me thru the wall." I spoke quickly rushing all the words out.

Neither my parents said anything instead they just looked at each other. I was nervous; did my parents think I was crazy or something. Were they planning on putting me away, or were they stunned to hear such a story.

"Well I guess its time we told you the truth." My dad spoke, and as he did my mom turned her glaze down towards the table.
"I will tell him the story John." My mom spoke.
I prepared to listen.

Well it all started when me and my sister Elizabeth went to a school for witches to learn how to control our powers." She started.

"Witches, powers? Huh." I sat there shocked at what I was hearing, yet I could not believe my mom was a witch.

"Let me tell the story first then we will explain. Like I said we went to a school to control our powers called "Grim Academy". Your aunt Elizabeth was special she had the gift of the phoenix in her. A special power only few choosen ones have. We were the most powerful witches in the academy, but there were another section of the school for guardians. Guardians were trained there to help protect all magical creatures, and the best of the best stayed there to train, plus protect and help the strongest witches on their missions or to help investigate. Elizabeth and I had been there for 4 years, and now we were the strongest witches in the school. I had met your dad at a school dance, and we started dating. Not soon after there were reports of witches and guardians who have gone missing. Speculation that it was Elizabeth turned out to be true. She had started dating Vince a powerful demon and right-hand man of the Devil himself. Your dad and I were choosen to lead and protect the powerful wizard Grand Older to they hide out, so he could seal Elizabeth powers."

As she stopped to take a pause, it was an amazing story, yet scary I can't believe they been hiding all of this stuff from me, why I wondered. I was about to ask when she continued her story.

"So we planned a suprise attack, but when we meet her in the central chamber she was different, evil and nasty. She had gotten corrupted it by Vince's love and influence. She didnt use the phoenix power instead she drew all her power from darkness. The Grand Older tried to seal the phoenix, but he could not the only hope was to remove the phoenix and give it to me. He did and with his last strength sent your dad and I back to the academy. After the battle I found out I was pregnant with you. Your dad and I decided to run and hide in a normal environment, so Elizabeth couldn't find us except she went into a deep sleep. Now Elizabeth is back and creating an army alliance with the silver fang wolf tribe and others; she looking for her powers." Mom had finished her story.

"It was thought that maybe the phoenix power was given to you but you showed no signs. So we believed maybe the wizard managed to seal it after all. But I am afraid not. Son you have the phoenix power, and Elizabeth is after you." My dad quickly summarized.

I got up and spoke, "Your saying I am a witch, Mom is a witch, Dad is a guardian, and I have the a powerful magic in me called the phoenix. Plus my evil aunt wants to kill me for her power back!" I screamed and collapsed right where I stood.

I woke up around 6:30 on the couch. Mom and Dad just walked in from the kitchen quickly asking, "Are you ok?"
"I am fine, it was just a lot to take in. But last night I had a dream about Elizabeth. She had killed Drake and his lifeless body was in my arms. Then she came over and choked me while taking back her power!" I cried with tears rolling down my face.
"Oh sweetie are you worried about Drake?"My mom asked.

"Well I don't want him to get hurt because of me, like last night." I spoke softly.
"Thats enough pity party. Drake is a guardian I personal trainned him, in fact you two were suppose to be engaged, but we weren't sure you were a witch yet. Isn't that funny." My dad spoke with such honor.
"Me and Drake supose to be engaged.WHAT!" With that I fainted again. This time I woke up sooner it was only 7. I got up and saw a note on the kitchen table which read: Zack tonight is trainning. We went out to get some supplies for tonight be carful until we get home.- Dad.

I was happy; I finally had time to finally adjust to all I had found out. I went into my room, when all of a sudden my cell phone started virbating; it was a text message from Drake telling me to get dress and he be here in an hour to pick me up so we could talk. I ran to my closet to pick out an outfit. I wasn't excited to see him, I just had somethings I needed to know from him. I decided to shower first then pick out my clothes. I took a nice long warm shower rubbing every part of my body. I got out the shower, and brushed my teeth. From there I head back to the closet, and decided to wear black boots, my black skinny jeans, white tank top, with my black coat and scarf.

I headed down stairs as someone knocked on the door. It was Drake, wearing his black jeans, black long sleeve shirt which was tight showing off his muscled arms and abs, and a jacket, with his black high top Converse.
"Hey sexy." He spoke with a grin.
"Your not looking bad yourself big boy." I spoke and felt his abs.

We headed to his shiny silver car. We got in and he turned on the heat as he drove to an unknown distance. We pulled up to a nice dark quiet place. It was silent except for the sound of crickets and other wild life.

"Isn't it nice out here!" He howled into the night.
"Drake this isn't a social call I need to know the truth. The whole truth." I spoke with sternness.

"Well the truth is we were suspose to be engaged, and I knew since we were in the 7th grade. But my dad told me they weren't sure you were a witch, and if you weren't we couldn't be engaged. Thats why I stayed away from you, but I always kept a close eye out for you." He said with such sincerity.
"Why couldn't we be engaged if I wasn't a witch." I said with confusion.
"Because I am a werewolf, and I can only marry my own kind. Except I am also a guardian, your guardian, and guardians can marry their own kind or a witch, which they guard." He spoke.
"Oh I get it now. But what did you mean that monster attacking was your fault?" I asked.

"Well I went to the Werewolf Temple where all werewolf clans leaders stay and consult with each other for werewolf unity and peace. I was there to talk to my grandfather my clan's leader about our engagement. I told him that you werent a witch and had no powers, so engagement off. But the Silver Fang clan's leader was easesdropping and over heard, so he sent the attack on you. Basically my fault; I am sorry." He spoke with such anger.
"Why would he send an attack on me?" I asked still confused.
"Because he working with Elizabeth! Werewolves dont have a specific side in good or evil. Each clan pick which side they want to choose and no other clan can say anything against their decision." He answered.

Now that I had all my answers I was satified. When all of a sudden me and Drake spotted two figures looking like the one we encoutered yesterday...
