Chapter Sixteen ★ Spellbound

​

Carnival music with laughter filled my ears as the dark ick slipped away. Old pine tickled my sinuses and I sneezed. My nose still itched. The air traveled down my long snout and I shook my head with each sneeze.

That’s odd. Hmm, the world around me is still in shades of grey. Bars of silver and iron were in front held in place with spell worn pine wood. It was a rectangular box that didn’t allow for much standing room.

I tried to get up but stopped when my shoulders brushed against the top while on my hands and knees. Looking down at my hands it dawned on me that they are paws… not hands. I glanced back at my behind to see a bushy tail wag back.

Letting out a groan a small howl escaped my lips. I wasn’t human anymore. Above in the night sky the moon hung low. Her power over me was weakening but still my body remained in its wolf form.

Curling my tail around myself I laid down and watched the area around the cage. Darkness continued to lick away at the dim paper lanterns that hung along the pathways. The park had no one in it but a keening laughter could still be heard wafting in the wind.

It sent waves of chills up my spine. Shutting my eyes the longing of home settled into my stomach. I wish this was all a dream. That I’ll wake up back home in my bed with Pete quietly building legos on his side of the room.

Another laugh ripped through the early morning air. I threw my paws over my head and whimpered. I just want to go home. Dad and Aunt LeAnne where are you?
