Dark? Eh, maybe normal? Well, normal for me, I guess. I’ve had some serious emotional ups and downs throughout my life, and maybe being a bloodthirsty monster is the culmination of it all? If the Moon hadn’t forced me into this eternity, I probably would have gotten there with my own devices. In my former, human life, I had friends, enemies, lovers, and wannabe lovers thrill me, love me, leave me, beat me, and kill me. Once or twice I beat back, but not nearly enough in my opinion.
When I’d lived, loved, died, and reappeared, I thought my cycle of endless highs and lows was over. After all, after death, what else can you do? That’s where the Moon stepped in and offered me “life” eternal. Riiiiiiiight. An eternal servitude, maybe. Complete with eternal hunger, bloodthirst, and self-hatred because of all the innocents I kill. Under compulsion, sure, but I still kill them. Why I can’t unleash this animal ferocity onto the real objects of my anger, I have no idea. Another fate the Moon forced on me without my knowledge.
What I can’t understand, though, is why I allow it to have so much power over me? She shows me love and affection and I grin like a maniac and follow Her around like a puppy dog. She shows aloofness and insensitivity, and suddenly I’m thrown to the bottom of the bottomless dungeon of my mind, wondering what to do to save myself from this endless manipulation. The worst part of it is that I love the control, or thought I did, that I feel when She summons me to her side. I stop whatever I’m doing, whether that be feasting on a new victim, finally getting the elusive sleep that I so desperately need, or just wandering through the woods and enjoying the sunshine. Afterwards, I feel happy, satisfied, and excited. Then She pushes me away, tells me to fend for myself (like that’s ever been a problem…I’m a wolf!), and ignores me for weeks on end. Then I hate myself for falling for it. Again.
What’s a new wolf to do?
