Chasing My Dreams

Chealsea's Point of View:

Everything hurts, why does everything hurt? What happened last night? My whole body is shaking and I'm sweating through my clothes. I can't move, am I having a seizure? This can't be a seizure, maybe a stroke? If I were at the hospital and they wanted a pain scale 1-10 this is easily 690! Oh my god, are my bones breaking? WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME!!!!

The only thing I can focus on is that my sister should be home any time now and she will help me, she will get me to the hospital. There is clearly something wrong. There is light at the end of this tunnel, I just keep telling myself help is on the way.

What happens next is incredibly quick and extremely painful. I hear it first, break - its loud. My spine cracking in half. Then the pain - oh my god the pain. I am not sure how but I still can move my legs, or at least, I think I am moving my legs. That's when the pain all comes to an extreme high and then all at once - BLACK. All I see is black, no noise, no feeling...just BLACK.

I see them, my parents - they are here. I must be dead, I have to be dead - nothing makes sense. They are smiling at me... as I stride by. Why am I walking away from them. No, I'm running. I'm running really fast - what is this? Why can't I slow down, why am I not breathing?

I feel free. I feel like this is normal. I must be dead.

My eyes open for real this time not in some dream state. When I open my eye I see the sun peaking through the trees. I am soaking wet, I place my hands to my sides and feel the damp ground/grass from the dew this morning. I then realize I am laying on the ground outside. I look down, I am stark naked. In the woods, with no one - I don't even know where I am or how I got here. I here a crinkle in the leaves and immediately become hyper aware of my surroundings - almost like I can hear whoever is just beyond these trees breathing - that's over 20 feet away. What is happening to me? Why am I here?

The person is coming closer, I realize I am exposed and need to hide myself. I am fumbling and pushing myself back and come up against a tree when I see the person expose themselves from the trees. I've met him before, its Sven.

"I've been waiting for this to happen for the last 6 days," Sven says as he approaches me with some clothes. I gladly take them dress myself and reappear in front of him. "What on earth do you mean waiting for this, what happened, what is happening to me - none of this makes any sense, I'm scared," I finally get out in a near yell.

Sven approaches me, places a hand on my shoulder. "Chelsea Aragon, you my dear are the Luna of not 1 but 2 packs. They need you, Chelsea you are a werewolf," he says with pride.

My emotions are out of control...I'm a werewolf? How? What does that even mean, how?

"Chelsea, I realize this must all sound crazy - but your parents sent me. I am a warlock. I've been following your family around since your parents split from their packs years ago - I've been doing my best to make sure you all remain safe," he explains.

Sven sees the apprehension on my face and reassures me he will explain everything.

So, I'm a werewolf?
