Stretching, Pressing, Twisting, Turning.
My mind races as the moon's beams raise my heart beat to incredible levels, too fast for a human, too slow for an animal.
Biting, Gnawing, Chewing, Tearing.
My skin aches in a familiar way, ripping, growing, uncomfortably numb.
Spinning, Searching, Finding, Guessing.
My eyes close, wincing in pain I open my jaws, drool dripping from the corners. Rip, tear, grow.
Gaping, Seeing, Feeling, Fearing.
Long, sharp, white. My mouth closes, hiding the evidence.
Grasping, Pulling, Lifting, Ripping.
Fur tickles my warm, wet nose, to familiar to care, too much to hide.
Searing, Burning, Loathing, Suffering.
Sharp nails tear-rip-at my eyes Pain, fear, burn. They open, yellow to the world. Black and white, red.
Starting, Stopping, Hurting, Mocking.
My legs itch in anticipation, breath slowing. I pant. Red, they are. My jaw stretches. So close. So far.
Reaching, Griping, Breaking, Needing.
My veins grip. Moonlight shines. Blood. Respect, power, anger. Blood. Between my claws. Friendly warm, inviting.
Falling, Clawing, Scratching, Jarring.
My body falls, spasms of pain shooting up my spine, between my shoulder blades. They stand. Their blood welcoming, pleasant, exciting still.
I scream.
Waking, Throwing, Taking, Paining.
I fly up from my pillow, my hair falling over my sweating face.
I push it away.
Eyes open.
"Moony?" Sirius raises a sleepy head to look at me.
Soothing, Comforting, Holding, Releasing.
"Fine." I hear myself murmur. Soft, and gentle. Free.
"Another nightmare?" Smile, Happy, I'm relaxing.
I release my worries for his arms.
Reassuring, Confusing, Scaring, Shaking.
"Yea, Just the full moon again." Casual, sleepy, I purr and answer.
"Oh." Brief confusion slides across his features. Beautiful, unsure with me. "Is that all?" Worried, scared, afraid, unnerved, he rests his eyes.
Dreaming, Sleeping, Stepping, Creeping.
Breath pounding against my neck. Hot air against my face, I lay. Comfortable, Puzzled, pillows surrounding my head. I let a second glace fall toward him.
Imagining, I sleep.
