The city was weird. Quiet- and she hated to admit it, but she missed the noise and the cars, and the lights. Cleo had been thankful at first for the escape, but old habits died hard and the itch to sketch a blackness into her mind for a few hours was too much sometimes. She’d found out early on alcohol and party favors of her old life had little to no effect on her now. Blood though, did the trick. But So-Young had a few rules about leaving a bloody trail of bodies where they stayed.

In exchange for the flowers and a look from the woman behind the counter as if she knew just where Cleo had plucked them from, she picked an almond croissant out of the display case next to the cashier. Mumbling a thank you, the vampire made her exit, tucking away the pastry in her bag for her maker. Traffic funneled through the only door in the bakery as someone nearly walked into her. “Hey-- watch it-” a grumble left her lips.

Running seemed to be the wisest choice that day, she couldn’t work when she didn’t feel well and keeping herself active could possibly get her far away from her ghosts. It had been twenty-four hours of a constant nightmare after the solar eclipse began. Damien had abandoned her, left her to die in the middle of a fight, making her assume that it was her last task, something she should go through for her pack, for her alpha. Later, Petra had the knowledge that it was far from that, he just didn’t care that much about an injured wolf. It was the last time she had seen her previous alpha before she joined Lexine and later found her second home in the Mensah pack. However, there he was again. Haunting her vision, making unable to have a proper night of sleep, of going through her daily activities without considering the possibility that she was going mad. 

I’m the man that helped oyu become the powerful wolf you are. So, what? You’re going to ignore me now? Are you afraid of listening to my commands again?

His voice echoed inside of her mind and in her surroundings. If she could hate him, Petra would. Perhaps the frustration and annoyance of being left behind due to one battle that she had failed and got injured could be seen as hate. She didn’t know, she hadn’t dealt with feelings before; and now, that he was everywhere she went, Petra just wanted to get rid of that image, to let go of Damien. But she also felt tempted to listen to what he had to say. It had been like that for twenty-one years. It was the kind of bad habit that was hard to quit.

The whispers had reached her ears during the week before the solar eclipse. She wasn't able to gather all the information about the gossips, but from what she heard it was about how the last time it had happened, it was followed by terrible consequences in the midst of war. Petra wasn’t one to believe in tales, especially those she hadn’t been there to actually see it happening. But from the moment the sun started to disappear and Moon Island was painted in a darker color, she knew that nothing good could come out of that. Unlike any other day, she was even more wary, trying her best to keep herself attentive about anything that would happen in her surroundings, knowing that while the previous full moon everything had been easier than expected, anything could happen during this solar eclipse.

Even if she wasn’t the kind of werewolf that would keep herself chained at the top of the Crescent Ridge at Squantum Point Cliffs, Petra ended up there. It was still the afternoon, and yet she could barely see the view she so adored. If it wasn’t for her phone and the moonlight, she’d be swallowed by the darkness that the sky offered in an unlike time of the day. “Everything is going to be okay.” She was enchanting while by herself, ignoring that voice inside of herself that sounded a lot like her previous alpha. Is it going to be okay?
