It was a dark and stormy night... the moon was full, as it shone brightly, up in the sky, pushing it's way through the crying clouds.

Thunder Clapped, as the moon grew brighter and brighter, until all the clouds were completely gone...

     The last drops of water fell from the sky, and then it was silent. Absolutely silent...

     All was still, except for a young blue skinned troll who was sleeping in her bed. Though not peacefully...

She rolled around, moaning and groaning, as the moon hovered above the treetops, shining in through her window.

     With growls of pain and fear, the young troll clawed involuntarily at the air with her fingers, still sleeping soundly in her bed.

Suddenly, she rolled onto her back, her eyes opening wide within an instant.

Her eyes; big and blue; staired up at the ceiling, as she lay motionless, as if under some sort of spell...

Slowly, her head began to turn towards the window, looking out into the dark of night.

     Her eyes glistened in the moonlight shining in through the glass. Then... as if being hypnotized... she sat up, slowly swinging her feet over the edge of the bed, not once taking her eyes off of the moon...

     Finally, she stood, her bare feet sinking into the shag carpet, as she shuffled over to the window, her long, golden hair swaying with each step she took.

She stood absolutely still, not even blinking as she stared into the light of the full moon...

     With a slight gulp of fear, the young troll raised her hands up in front of her face, as she watched her fingernails slowly transform into claws. Sharp, deadly claws...

     The girl seemed worried, as hair sprouted out of her body, her teeth growing long and pointy.

She hunched over in pain, placing her hands on her head as she tried to fight against the change, until she finally looked up, howling at the moon.

—————

     A truck drove slowly down the street, it's driver whistling to the tune blaring out of his radio, as he tapped his hands along with the beat.

'She wears short skirts... I wear T-shirts... she's Cheer Captain, and I'm on the bleachers. Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find that what you're looking for has been here the whole time!'

     He heard the howl piercing through the cool nighttime air, but didn't know what it was.

Confused, he looked out his window, as he drove past a lone house in the middle of a cotton field. It was the first house he had seen for miles.

He watched the house, as he drove past, and then shrugged, going back to listening to his Taylor Swift.

     'Claclang,' a sound suddenly rang out from the front of the man's truck.

The old troll stopped whistling, as the truck began to rattle, and shake, smoke suddenly spitting out from the engine, as the truck slowed to a stop.

"Aw, man," he sighed, opening up his door to head out into the dark of night.

     After stepping out of his truck, he walked to the hood, popping it open with ease, immediately beginning to cough as smoke flooded out of the engine, and into his lungs.

He waved his hand back and forth, trying to shoo away the smoke, as he searched for the problem.

     "Ah. Here it is," he smirked, bending down into his truck, as he fiddled with the engine. "There. Good as new," he said, clapping his hands together to get the soot off.

     Once he was finished, he hopped back into his truck, closing the door, and starting it back up.

He put the truck into gear, stepping onto the gas pedal to continue on his way, but almost immediately slammed back on the breaks, when a giant wolf-like creature jumped onto his hood.

     "AHHHHH!" he screamed, as the wolf stood on it's two back feet, howling up at the moon.

It looked at the man, it's eyes glowing in the darkness, and then jumped down, racing into the woods beyond...
