My Boyfriend's Curse - Chapter Three

This one time thing turned into a daily thing. We started going for walks right after we ate. I guess I really forgot about the lock. It would cross my mind sometimes but I didn't see it too much for the next month. 

Time came around for another full moon. Every so often I would feel an urge to leave the house on a full moon. It would happen once every three or four months. I never saw the harm in it before. I didn't understand how in my dog form I could get hurt on my own. 

I was running down through the woods. Just running. I fed my urge to be free and my urge to run. The wind rushing past me felt like little pin pricks attaching my skin with little kisses. I loves the wind. 

I heard the howling of the local werewolves. I could hear Nolan's howl separate from every other werewolf. I started running toward him. I know why I did it in my head but coming out to the opening I forgot and thought I should run but realized I'd never seen Nolan change. 

He saw me and called my name just as all the bones in the body broke at once. Tatiana bounded forward and was painfully a werewolf. Everyone else was already changed and running away from the clearing. Everyone except Nolan who was fighting the change.

Tatiana had been teaching them all to embrace the change so the pain was at a minimum. Nolan was fighting it. I tried to yell at Nolan to just change but there was that chance that he wasn't listening to our connection when he was in that much pain. Tatiana was running around Nolan probably coaching him through the change. Nolan, Stephan, and Tatiana were the first changed out of our group but Nolan had spent his whole life fighting it he experiences a lot of the pain. 

Nolan completed the change and he looked at me. His yellow eyes glowing with fear and anger. Fear disappeared and I realized what was happening. Nolan lost control. I heard that happened every so often where a werewolf has no control. It was like being possessed. 

Nolan, was this huge brown wolf the size of a bear, charged for me and my feet still won't work. In my head I could hear Tatiana telling me to run but my legs buckled and Nolan flew over me. He was then growling at the many werewolves behind me that I hadn't realized. 

I was wrong. Nolan wasn't trying to hurt me. He was protecting me. I started running to the side as far as I could. 

This man stood there and looked at me. I stopped because I was trying to think of why a man would be out here on a full moon. He would be changing if he were a werewolf. 
He bent down on his knees and summoned me like he would summon a dog. I slowly came to him and let him pet my head.

"Nessa," I looked up to him. He knew me.
"Nessa you are going to help me with something." He poked my furry neck wish something thin and sharp. I felt a stinging liquid spread into my veins.
"I have the cure to the poison I just gave you. I just want my locket back. I miss Jazmine. So bring her back to me in a week or you'll die."

Jasmine? The man disappeared. I looked around even though all the poison was slowly spreading through me. The pain wasn't horrible. I remember my mother putting this cream on this scrape I got that hurt worse than this. Except this was all over my body. I laid down in the dirt and I fell asleep. 

I woke up in my bed. Tatiana was watching me.
"What were you thinking when you were out there last night?" She demanded of me. "You could have been hurt?"
I started pushing myself up but my insides hurt. I pushed my self up. This was worse than last night but I could stand it. Tatiana followed me out to the living room where everyone was sitting around. Nolan was actually pacing. 
He looked to me. 

I looked to Jazmine. "This is your fault!" I hissed. 
"Huh?" She looked up to me. 
Edmund stood up. "Nessa what's going on?"
"Ask her!"
Jazmine stroke up ready to defend herself. "I have no idea what your Talking about!"  Nolan came and put his arm around me. He made me look at him.
"Nessa what's going on?"
"I'm dying." I whispered.
