I just didn't want to believe it.
I called my Aunt Maureen after the second night, figuring that, having woken up in the middle of the woods with no clothes and a substantial amount of blood on me, the situation merited some investigation. After getting through all the niceties and small talk, I discovered that I wasn't the only new werewolf in the family. It didn't take us long to figure out exactly how I got infected. It looked like little cousin Jordy and I had a lot more in common now. At least now neither one of us was in this alone.
Aunt Maureen gave me a few pointers on learning to cope with my new condition, but I wasn't really content to stop there. I wanted to do some research, wanted to find out as much as I could about all these changes I was going through. It was like supernatural puberty. A crummy analogy, but fairly accurate. Just as miserable, just as painful, and just as confusing.
Three nights a month. Three nights a month, I would have to find some way to restrain myself, keep myself locked up so I couldn't get out and do any unnecessary damage. Not that there was any necessary damage to be had. I just... I didn't want to hurt anyone, and it made me sick to know that I already had. That wasn't spaghetti sauce I'd found on my hands and chest that morning, I knew that much.
I was falling asleep in English class again. Three long nights in a row... I was tired. Exhausted, even. Luckily, Ms. Branch is used to me sleeping through her lectures.
Hopefully my nodding off won't raise any questions.

Bloody slayer and her damn scoobies had their knickers in a twist. Found out Anya and I made with the shagging, they didn’t like that much. Of course they wouldn’t everything had to be their way even those they hurt. Don’t see why they give a damn, slayer doesn’t want me and Xander left the girl at the alter. Talk ‘bout happily ever after. Xander was a stupid gint for letting that one slip away, let’s just say the girl knows how to dance, in more then one way.
Best I be staying away from the likes of them, don’t need anymore of those comments or stares. Off on my own once again, well, more with the bottle then ever. The bottle was always there for ya when you needed it. Never would give up on ya. Exactly what I was doing right now, drinking down at the local pub.
I made my way up to the bar and sat down. “The usual” I muttered to the bar tender. Been spending most of my nights here recently. Just then I caught a familiar scent, turning my head to the side I saw Anya. Didn’t realize it was her when I took the seat. “Fancy meeting you here.” I said with a smirk placed upon my face. “Guessing your not having a fun and dandy time with the scoobies anymore?” I cocked my head to the side.
The girl was amazing. She could drink a whole ton load just like me, and she knew the powers of being a big bad for so long then going all soft for that thing they call love. Her and I were in the same boat. None of the others could understand where we came from. Not that I wanted them to understand. Never cared for them much anyways, if it wasn’t for that bleeding chip I would’ve killed them all myself long ago. Damn chip and slayer made me go all soft. Not anymore, things are ‘bout to change.
