• I am Markus, a freak who no one likes. My life has been hard ever since I found out I was a Werewolf. My only friends are Michelle and Nikki. They’re probably the best friends anyone could ever have. I’m sixteen, so is Nikki, and Michelle is fourteen. Together, we are indestructible!

    Chapter 1


    We were all chatting about the costume party. “Whatcha gonna be for the party?” asked Michelle. (She’s always curious about everything.) “ A vampiress with a black veil. What about you?” since Michelle is a joker, she replied, “ Oh, I’m gonna be a black cat; meeeeeoooow, claws!” She said, swiping her hand. “Oh, and you, Markus?” I stuttered, puzzled at her unexpected question. ”Uhhhhh…. I guess I’ll just have to be me?” I sounded stupid saying something so dumb… dude, I honestly think I should never have said that… or maybe I’m wrong….

    Chapter 2

    As the costume party at Wolffang High finally arrived, more pressure pounded against me. ”Uhhh, I don’t think I can do this….” It was a waste of breath, because as soon as I said those words, Nikki grabbed me by the arm and yanked me toward the gym. “Whoa! Easy on the arm…oww!” “Would you stop it? You’re making a scene!” I replied, “and you sound just like my mother!” She let go of my arm and, my arm throbbing, yelled, “gonna get some punch! Be right back!” I winced in pain as my arm still tried to recover. As I grabbed a glass of punch, an immense pulse pumped through my veins. I swear I could hear blood pounding in my ears. I dropped the glass, which shattered into a million pieces. Darkness crept upon me, swallowing me whole… I’m breathless, silently screaming in agony….

    Chapter 3

    When I reopened my eyes, I felt… different. Immortal. I could hear screaming and the thud of a thousand footsteps. I looked down at my hands…claws! Horrified, I rushed over to Nikki, who wouldn’t run. ”M-Markus? Is that really you?” I replied, ”What do you think? Let’s bust outta this dump…”I broke off when Nikki interrupted, “Wait… what about Michelle? We can’t just leave her!” “Oh, she’s probably fine, now let’s get outta here!”

    Chapter 4


    Before she could say anything else, I rushed to grab Michelle. As soon as I had both of them with me, I ran as fast as I could. Along the way, I stopped as a ghoulish-looking girl stepped out of the shadows. She looked about nine years of age.” You have come.” “Uh, sorry, but we’re trying to escape.” The ghastly appearance of the girl had startled me, for she had silver hair, large amber eyes, pale white skin, and a ragged silken dress. She was bare-footed and smelled of autumn leaves. Who is she? As if she had read my thoughts, she said, “My name is Midnight."
