ROSE

I looked away from window as the full moon hid behind clouds, the cool breeze hit my face and I shivered. I love full moon nights, It gives me an unknown energy, so it's kind of a hobby to stare at full moon while sitting on bed through window. I always had hard time adjusting to new places,I miss those old days when we used to live in Canada, New York is not a percent similar.

Dad love to keep his secrets. Being a fifteen years old never let you get involved in most of the family matters, my father has always been busy since day one, he's a silent man and loves to keep himself busy in business stuff, as for my mother she's a doctor so she mostly have less time to spent with us. Being one and only sister of four brothers is not easy at all.

My eldest brother Nicholas, splitting image of my dad except for his blue eyes, seven years older than me and my twin.

On second number Jackson, six years older than me, and opposite in nature from all four of us, on third me and Alexander, and then our little brother Maximus, who's two years younger than me and Alexander.

My life sometimes gets easier or sometimes it gets irritating, having four brothers always trying to pull your legs and cheering you up, irritates me the most. I Wished I had an elder sister to pull their ears out of their heads. They are always fighting each other like bulls, especially Nick and Jack. I'm in 9th grade, probably which is about to end in two to three months after my final examinations.

I'll be sixteen in upcoming days, and as usual we will have a huge birthday party for me and Alex. We both don't like these parties but our parents love to give parties.

I was deep inside my thoughts when I heard footsteps reaching my room, I faked sleep while hiding in my blanket.

"Rose, I know you're awake" mom said while entering my room.

"How... mom how do you always know?" I asked in embarrassment.

"Finish it before I come back" she warned while giving me a glass of milk.

As she closed the door I sighed with relief, I hate drinking milk, regardless my mom makes me drink it thrice a week. I drank it, and tried my best to avoid puking on my bed, still there was much left to gulp down,I put glass back on the side table, clock showed 10 p.m., I yawned and switched off the lamp.

2 HOUR LATER...

A loud scream woke me up, I laid on my bed, maybe it was a bad dream as everything was silent, few minutes passed by, another scream tore through the silent and I jolted in my bed and ran downstairs, I checked everywhere but failed to find anything, maybe it was coming from outside or I misheard.

I checked everyone's room, the doors were closed. I slowly moved the curtain of the window beside the door and checked outside, maybe someone was injured and was in need of help, but hopeless no one was there. Only the dark forest far from our society and full moon which was now in the middle of the sky shining as the clouds moved.

I closed the curtain, and another scream came from inside the house. I slowly walked towards stairs and it was coming from basement. Suspicion hit me hard because me, Alex and Max weren't allowed to go without permission. As I was busy in deciding, another scream tore apart the silence. I opened the door without thinking and went downstairs in basement and closed the door behind me.

I kept going down till I came across a metal door. I opened it after struggling. I cursed internally for coming down here, I closed the door and went inside while touching the wall.

Suddenly my head hit the wall and I cursed again and change my direction after few steps I found another door at the end, thanks moonlight I found a switch of bulb hanging in the middle of roof. The screaming started once all over again. Without thinking for a second I opened the door, and the bloody blub turned off.

I walked until I saw the moon light coming from the tiny window and besides it was a cell with shinny door was made up of shiny metal bars, maybe silver. As I was trying hard to look inside the door the lights turned on and I screamed in horror, Nick was inside the cell lying on floor holding himself in fetus position.

"Nick, are you okay?" I whispered.

"What are you doing here, you shouldn't be here, leave now" he warned while his voice cracked in pain.

"No I won't, why are you here and locked up?" I asked and opened the door immediately without hearing his answer.

"No... don't open it, you don't understand go back and close the door" he said while coughing and trying to get up from the floor.

He stood up after struggling and warned to close the door once again, all of the sudden his left arm cracked and he yelped in pain and fall down on floor and I nearly lost my senses. I ran backwards to call my parents, his bones kept breaking.

"Mom... Dad... Nick needs help" I shouted with all my energy.

When no one answered, I remembered that I had shut the door, so no one will be able to find out I'm down here, I'm such an idiot I hide myself in the corner and waited for him to stop screaming. As I didn't heard screaming for few minutes, I went inside to check up on my brother.

I looked around but couldn't find him, bulb was still off. Suddenly someone pushed me hard from backside on the floor, my head hit hard and vision became blur, I screamed at the top of my lungs and shut my eyes in terror. I felt something heavy on my body.

I opened my eyes after few seconds and screamed, it was a abnormally large wolf standing over me with sliva dripping through his horrific canniness, it's eyes were glowing red, I tried pushing it off again and again and continue to scream.

It growled viciously while showing his bare canniness and my vision blurred as a sharp pain rose in my head...
