I start to stir in my resting place. I didn't know my nap became an all night, half the morning event. I'm okay with it, I needed the rest. Today, I have 2 days before my Birthday. I might as well drag my butt out of bed and get ready for the day. I walk over to my my closet and I change my clothes. I put on a oversized Black sweater, pair it with black yoga pants and my athletics. I grab my brush from on top on my bed and brush out the tangles. I'm not trying to hard to impress the pack with my look, instead I'd rather them like my personality. I put my brushed hair in a pony. I wall to my bedroom door and open it. To my surprise, Paige and Jackson are standing waiting for me. "I thought I gave you 2 days rest Jackson?" Dahlia stated. Jackson, is just staring at me. Paige hasn't made a sound. What the hell is wrong with them? "Dahlia, are you okay?" Jackson asks. "I feel fine, what's wrong?" Dahla stated. "Luna, let me escort you to a mirror" Paige said delicately. I roll my eyes in protest, what the hell has gotten into them. I walk with Paige and she takes me into my room in front of my floor mirror. "What the hell?!" I yell. "Jackson call for her parents" Paige announces. I can't believe what I just saw in the mirror, as of I wasn't a freak already, this just tops the cake. I hear commotion coming down the corridors and hallway "Where's Dahlia, is she okay?!" My mom is frantic. She runs into my room with my dad in tow and they just stop and stare at me. "Whhhhat happened Dahlia?" My dad asked. At this point I'm sobbing, this was unexpected. "I don't know, I went to sleep and when I woke up, my guards had informed me I looked like this" Dahlia said witha stream of tears. "Should we call Lockhart?" My mom asks hesitantly. "Well, he would know what to do" My dad states. "Is that okay with you honey?" my mom asks. I nod my head yes. "Whats happening to me?" Dahlia asks. "We're not sure honey, the doctor may have a solution" my mom stated. My parents and guards are just staring at me. What a pitiful state I'm in. "Raven Star, what's going on?" Dahlai asks her wolf. "Luna, it seems your body is having trouble suppressing the power within you" My wolf replied. "Wait for the doctor, I know he can find a tonic to help relive this" My wolf finished. My room is quiet why we sit and wait for Lockhart to show up. I know I've been angry with him but I know he's the best chance I have right now. I hear them running towards my room. How many nurses did he bring? Lockhart breaks the threshold of my bedroom door first. "What the hell?!" He exclaimed. You hear horrifying gasps from his band of nurse. "Oh my god what happened to the Luna?" one nurse manages to choke out. "Lockhart, I don't know what happened, I went to rest yesterday evening, and I woke up this morning like this" Dahlia stated. "My wolf says, my power is over powering my control and body" Dahlia said defeated. Lockhart is standing there with a look of horror and concern. I can't blame him. I look like a creature from nightmares. Sometime while I was sleeping my body wasn't strong enough the power within me. My power is trying to escape. When I looked into the mirror I couldn't recognize myself. My body seems like it is stuck in a state of transformation. I have pointed wolf ears stickingnout of the side of my head, my finger nails replaced with claws, there's still some dangling flesh around them. I have a tail and my face is the worst. It's distorted between human and animal. I have huge K-9's that have grown out of my mouth. I'm not quite human, and I'm not quite animal. On top of my disfigurement, an aura of red and black follow behind me. "Can you help me Lockhart?" Dahlia asks once more. "I can't meet the pack like this!" Dahlia pleads. My parents and guards stand their horrified. I didn't even realize the four of them are sobbing. Do I look that hideous? Lockhart is standing their with his over zealous thinking face, trying to find a solution. "Luna! I just remembered that the Ravenwood pack has a special tonic that was made by a famous witch in the 18th century, I have to go get it from the archives but I think it can help!" Lockhart says with hope. "Mom, dad, if it doesn't work, please don't take me to meet the pack, I look like a monster!" Dahlia cried. "It's okay baby, we will figure this out" My mom says with sniffles. For everyone's sake I hope so. I can barely stand to look at me, how could I expect anyone else to suffer through my appearance. Lockhart came back with a book in hand. It looked very old and fragile. Is finger is pointing to a passage and he starts to read "Today, I encountered my Alpha, partially turned. He never triggered the curse and is due in 4 days to shift on his 18th birthday. We experimented relentlessly to see if there was something to give him to supress his powers further. I came to the discovery that a tonic of, Wolfsbane, Sage, a pinch of silver shards, and the blood of a relative, helped him turn back to normal. I hope this written passage can help future royal Ravenwood's and help their lineage thrive. Dated 1780, Sirius." Lockhart read. "That's not very detailed" my father said frustrated. "Is there a recipe for exact amounts?" my mother asked concerned. "Wolfsbane and silver are highly toxic to Wolves, we can't give that to her!" Jackson demanded. "Our duty is to ensure our Lunas health and safety" Paige stated. "Will everyone shut up!" Dahila said with a growl that vibrated the floors. Everyone immediately stopped an focused their attention back in Dahlia. "Lockhart, I trust you, please try, I give you my full consent" Dahlia said clearly in pain. "As you wish Luna" Lockhart stated. Give me a little bit of time and I will have it ready. Lockhart rushes out of my room and his nurses follow.
***Lockhart's trying to make the tonic to help Dahlia.***
"Nurse go grab the ingredients from the herb storage" Lockhart yells. All the nurses are scrambling to get what's needed. "Now let's see, where is the recipe?!" Lockhart expressed. He flips through a few pages of the old Grimoire. "Ah here it is!" Lockhart excitedly yelled. "Wolf transformation supression" "Beware, any amount over the stated recipe can kill a wolf, even one of royal bloodline" Lockhart gulped. "It's a good thing a warning was placed on it, no pressure!" Lockhart thought. Lockhart continues to read, what can be Dahlia's only hope. "Grind 1 shaved OZ of silver, combined it with 1 pound of fresh Sage. Grind until liquefied. Mix in 5 drops of Wolfsbane. The last part of the recipe for 1 drop of fresh blood from a relative. Mix the blood in right before its ready to drink" Lockhart read. Lockharts follows the directions carefully. This is for his beloved Luna, I will do anything for her. "Finally! it's ready!" Lockhart expressed
