Full Moon Rising

Tyler's hand shook as he stood out in the growing dark.

He had forgotten.

Tonight. Was. the. night.

He thought he might have... had he taken the potion that the Montgomery's gave him. He might have - but he couldn't remember; he couldn't concentrate on anything else.

His hand shook, and heart leaped with excited as he sniffed the air.

The moon was coming.

Laura was taking a walk in a place she didn't know. Earlier that day, she had gotten into a agruement with her parents, about Dylan. Dylan had owled her a week back, asking if he could move in with her. I am tired of them, He had wrote. Treating me as if I was five.

They said she couldn't even take care of a cat, she was that irresponsible, she recalled. Did her own parents doubt her so much?

Her eyes could just make out a quivering figure, with brown hair and a figure that was recognizable. She saw it was Tyler, and tried to recall was phase the moon was tonight. Full moon is tomorrow, She thought. So she thought it was safe to walk up to him.

"You alright, Ty?" She asked.

Ty's eyes widened slightly at footsteps, his hands balling into fists even as the creature within began to jump with excitment.

When he heard the voice, a familiar voice.

"Never better," he drawled turning to grin at the girl, his eyes bright and wild as the animal came closer to the surface. "Just enjoying the night; its such a beautiful night ain't it. With the stars... and the moon."

Tyler does not have that wild grin. At least, not naturally. Right away, she knew that she remembered the wrong night as the Full Moon.

"Y-yes, it.. it is," Laura stammered, slowly stepping away. "Shouldn't you be in a area, where you won't escape? So nobody will get bitten, or eaten?" Laura asked, forgetting for a moment that she was talking to the animal side of Tyler.

Tyler's eyes danced.

"Oh but where's the fun in that? Hmm?" his glanced at the sky again. "I wouldn't be able to run, and I do so like to run, and jump."

His blood was racing through him, the moon was getting closer. So much closer. He jumped with excitment, so much excitment...

But there was control in there too.

He thought perhaps that meant he had taken his wolfbane's potion that day - he was still in control.

Its just the wolf was closer, dying to run wild.

"Care for a moonlight dance," he winked and grinned wildly, "I promise I ain't gunna bite."

"But the danger is too much, Tyler, if you didn't take wolfsbane" She whispered, fully knowing Ty could hear her. "Did you take Wolfsbane? Please tell me you did."

She detected Control in his eyes, which greatly relieved her. Gathering up her courage, she walked closer to him.

"I will, before you turn into a wolf." She whispered. After the first time she talked to him, she left with respect for this boy, and days later she realized she wanted to see him again.

Ty's face erupted in a wide grin, eyes wild with excitment, but there was enough... enough control in there, in the slowly ambering eyes. Ty was still there.

He took her hand more gently than his present behaviour would have lead on to believe he would, and he pulle her close, placing his other hand on her waist, and slowly spinning them about the spot.

"I promise," he said after a moment, his voice low and normal - his usual self slipping through despite all signs of log, "I ain't gunna hurt yeah. Does that answer yer question?" If he hadn't taken the wolfsbaine, he wouldn't be making that promise. He wouldn't be thinking at all.

Laura felt reassured that Tyler was there. And that he took Wolfsbane. Laura after all didn't feel being a Werewolf...

Placing her arms around his neck, she lets Tyler spin her around, wondering how Tyler could be this charming, when he soon was going to become a wolf. "I know now," She whispered. "I just never exactly been around a Werewolf on the Full moon," She teased, now in a normal tone.

Dancing with Tyler, with a nonexistent tune, she wondered if it was possible to have this moment frozen forever.

"I trust you."

Ty tilted his head back and let out a laugh, letting go of her waist to spin her in a full circle before pulling him back.

"I ain't alway this charmin'" he whispered his eyes dancing again, the wolf was back, and playing. "I ain't gunna be to pretty in a bit. But he likes ta play, when I let 'em, he likes ta play a lot."

He smiled, Ty not the beast within, although he was so close to the surface, the moon so close to threatening them that the two were almost one and the same now.

But Ty was still in control. He had to still be in control - or Laura shouldn't trust him at all.

"Yer Beautiful, yeah know that?"

Throwing her hands up as she twirled, she felt like she was in a Ball, with a Pretty Ball gown on, dancing with the Prince dressed in his best suit. That he had walked up to her while she was all alone, with his perfect smile. That he had rescued her from herself, and gave her new hope.

"I don't care about the outside, because I know the person inside is handsome, and perfect because of who he is," Laura whispered in his ear, her hair falling in her face.

Laughing slightly, she asked, "Isn't that what all guys say to a girl?"

Ty shook his head sadly, a smile on his face. His hand in hers was starting to shake. He didn't need to look behind him to know the moon was closer to the horizan than before. He may have managed to relax much more into his change now, stop fighting what must happen, but there were still signs.

"But yeah ain't seen what hidden inside yet," he whispered slightly, his eyes having slipped completely amber now, no hint of blue left as the wolf got closer to the surface, melding himself with Ty more and more. "But don'tch'yeah worry - he's commin'. He always comes - ain't gunna miss a chance to see the world."

"Yes," he whispered softly, leaning forward to whisper in her ear. It couldn't have been more than a mintue since he first noticed it, but his hand was begining to shake even more. He was quickly starting to unravel. He'd need to back away from her soon, or risk too much. But he couldn't, not yet. He just needed... "But not all of 'em mean it."

Laura noticed his hands shaking, and puts her hands on each side of his face. "Ty... don't fight it. You can't stop it, so relax. You won't hurt me, I promise," She whispered, trying to be as calm as possible. "I'm sure he will not hurt me, after all, I am that amazing right?" Laura tried to add a bit of humor to this, so it will distract Tyler.

"And do you mean it?" Laura whispered back, her hands stroking his cheeks. "I mean it when you are handsome. I mean it when you are perfect. Tyler, no matter what you turn into every month, you are still handsome, perfect, and I will always be here."

She wondered if her growing feelings for this man, would only increase till she couldn't hold it in anymore

Ty laughed slightly, managing to relax into her touch just a bit, "Even if he wanted to, I ain't gunna let him. He's on a tight leash."

He laughed a little at his own joke, his hand, free of holding her clenched into a fist, doing the opposite of what she asked, just for the moment. He knew that she was right, fighting it, like he had done the first time just made the transformat all the more...

But he had to, fight it for just, just another moment. He couldn't change, not yet - not before he had the opportunity to do this.

Taking a deep breath he willed his hands to relax and slowly pulled them so he mirrored her hold - placing them on either side of her face.

"Course I mean it Sug," he whispered leaning closer and closer with every word. "I ain't into sayin' thangs I ain't meanin'."

Then he closed the gap completely and places his lips on top of hers.

"Sshh.. relax..." She whispered, still stroking his cheek.

As he got closer and closer, her breathing increased. Was he.... she hoped so. Laura was chanting inside her head, Do it! Do it! Because Laura will never be able to summon enough courage to do it herself.

The chanting vanished when he did do it. Almost on Instinct, she responded, trying to put everything she felt into the kiss, the kiss right before he changed.

Finally pulling back, she quickly placed a kiss on his lips before stepping back.

"Relax."

Tyler sighed softly against her lips, pulling her close to him. Lordy he just wanted to stay like that forever, but he didn't protest when she pulled away. He knew it was safest for her to do so - even if he didn't want to.

Even as she stepped back he took his own step back, lengthening the distance. He didn't want to risk, anything.

"Yeah, yeah might wanna... close yer eyes or sumptin'. I ain't thinkin' this is gunna be too pretty to watch."

The shaking moved to his arms and his legs. A cool wind swept across them and he felt the glow of the moon crept past the clouds and onto his skin. He managed to give Laura one last little grin before the convulsing to a point where he couldn't stand.

After many times of doing this, Ty had gotten better at managing the pain. It was still inhuman, but again, Ty wasn't human.

And he was now built to handle it.

Letting only one cry escape, the last one that he always made as the fur erupted through his skin, and as always it cut off into a long howl.

Then the wolf that was Ty stood there, tilting his head, looking up at Laura.

She tried to close her eyes, but her eyes wouldn't listen to her. Watching the whole process, it killed her. She hated watching him be in pain, and that one cry tore her.

When the process ended, she felt that it was safe for her. Stepping forward, slowly, Laura smiled. "I love your wolf self, Ty," She whispered, amazed. "Your not just handsome in the inside, but on the outside. I see you Tyler, I don't see the beast. I see you, your perfect."

Finally bringing herself to touch him, she slowly rubbed the top of his head.

Ty blinked up at the girl; the part of his mind that was still Ty, not completely bind with the wolf, the part that still managed to keep him all in control was find it amusing to see her from this angle, to see her so high up.

He froze for a moment as she came closer. He was use to himself in this form, but he'd never... he'd never really been around people, except for Karma. He usually hid in his home, or the montgomety's.

Still after a second he leaned his head up into her touch, letting out a little yip, the only kind of talking he could make in this form.

She smiled when she saw the familiar look in the Wolf's eyes, no, Tyler's eyes. This was Tyler... just changed.

Freezing for a second, when Ty frozed. Then she continued rubbing his head, and jumped a little bit at his Yip.

"Show me what you can do Ty," Laura told him, sitting down. "I'm interested, it's not like I have seen another Werewolf on Full Moon before."

Ty let out another little yip, this time out of amusement at the look on her face. He bucked his head against hers before going to gallop off, running in circles. He always had so much more energy like this.

He needed to burn it off. Besides... He'd never really, shown anyone what he could do. He wasn't even sure he knew what he could do.

Laughing, she tried to look at him as he ran in circles, but Ty was too fast. "Wow," Lay breathed, amazed.

Softly singing, Laura has always felt a connection to music, she sang The Day I fall by One more girl. "He’s got me down here tied to the tracks, But love will release me all in good time, Don’t know when but I know this much, The sun won’t go down the day I fall in love." Laura softly sang, as she stood up.

"Is there anything else?" She asked. "Or you haven't discovered the rest?"

Ty skidded to a halt at her words, the dirt kicking up below him, his tail wagging with a certain pride, and the way he held his head...

You could see that the animal was proud of himself.

He let out a bark when she started to sing, his ears tilting upwards towards the sound. It was pretty... soothing... He wished he actually had words to be able to tell her so. Instead all he could do was paddle over and nudge her hand, letting out a little bark again.

Tilting his head, he looked around him and then up at the moon. THe beautiful moon. He tilted his head back and let out a howl.

Laughing at his posture, Laura shook her head. "Such a proud nature... but I wouldn't have it any other way, you know."

Startled slightly at his bark, Laura wondered briefly if that meant he either liked her singing, or he didn't. Thinking that he liked it after Tyler nudged her hand, Laura started singing another song. "Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight/ Just a touch of the fire burning so bright/ No I don't want to mess this thing up/ I don't want to push too far," Laura sang, smiling. It was Just a kiss, by Lady Antebellum.

"Like the moon, huh?" Laura whispered, knowing perfectly well that she heard him. Running her fingers through his fur, Laura thought that she would have never expected that she was perfectly at ease with a Werewolf.

But here she was.

Ty's tongue lolled out as he wiggled his tail a little more and galloped closer to the girl.

He let out another little bark as she switched her song, nudging her again, trying to tell her to keep going, without the aid of words before he curled his large black form beside her.

He blinked his eyes up at her, his face innocent, and sparkling, as he did so. Sure he liked the moon...

but not as much as her.

It was a shame he didn't have the words to say that.

Encouarged by his bbehavior,she started singing don't ever let it end by Nickelback. It was a song she had recently discovered by the group and have been in love with. "I had never thought that I will be out on a full moon with a wolf. You have certainly gave me a new experiance," Laura told Tyler laughing. Kissing the top of his head, the blond layed her head on his shoulder.

Laura wondered how this will continue. It wasn't like a squib and a werewolf started having a relationship... well, this was a boyfriend and girlfriend sort of relationship right? She hoped so.

Wagging his tail slightly, Ty snapped his jaw in something that was close to a yawn. He felt jittery, like he still wanted to move, to run and yet....

He liked where he was. It was very... comforting.

He curled his large body closer to hers as she laid on him, and let out a slight howl again.

He was rather content.
