Next morning a minute before the moon disappears

When you wake up in a massive amount of pain. Your whole body feels like it has been used as a punching bag. Which is to be honest not far away from the truth. Your muscles burn like you ran a marathon and you feel bruises in places you don't even know you had. You push yourself up, taking a few deep breaths, and look around. It's dark and you're in some kind of forest. You remember the fight and the monster that tried to kill you. You look behind you you almost cry in fear. There is the wolf-like creature. It lays under the big rock that was pulled down the hillside.

For a moment you had hoped this was just some kind of nightmare, but there it is. You see that the monster is not only stuck but also sleeping. Not **** like you have been, but comfortably sleeping. The rock seems to only have caused it to get stuck and not squeeze it to ****. It has much fewer wounds than you. You are full of scratches, whipping marks from the branches, bruises and your nose is bloody. The creature has only one visible wound. The place where you hit it with your belt buckle seems like it has been burned.

Despite this, there is nothing you haven't seen before. Head and feet look like the ones of a wolf. The upper body, legs, and arms are large and muscular. Everything is covered in fur. You have never seen such an animal in reals life. Only heard of them in fairy tales and fantasy books. It's a werewolf. But this can't be right. Werewolves are not real.

You crawl away from the werewolf but soon you have to lay down again. Your body still hurts too much. Then you try to figure out what all this means. You still have no clue where Jenny is and then you've stumbled across a fucking mythical creature. You don't know if this is connected but you can hardly believe in a coincidence. If werewolves exist there have to be more of them. And there must be some way to talk to them. But how? The one in front of you tried to kill you.

When you look at the sky you see the last stars fade. The night is over now. You lift your head a little and to your surprise, you see the werewolf change. The skull bones shift and shrink. The fur falls out in clumps and reveals slightly tanned, smooth skin. The whole stature becomes smaller and more feminine. The claws on the paws also recede. Finally, the hair on the head changes from the wolfish gray-black to normal human hair color. In less than a minute there is no monster but a normal human body. A female one to be precise.

For a moment you don't trust your own eyes. You know this body really well. It's Jenny. Your girlfriend is the werewolf. And she has no clothes. They likely don't change with the rest and were destroyed when she turned into the werewolf. But how is this happening? You are a couple with a murderous creature who tried to kill you with it's bare hands a few hours ago. You are stunned in shock.

Jenny wakes up immediately and looks around confused, despite her being naked you see nothing different about her. There is no sign that she was a monster a few seconds ago. Even the wound from the silver belt buckler is gone. When she realizes where she is she looks at you and screams in panic.

“Oh god, what have I done?” Jenny cries in panic and kneels over your body with tears in the eyes, “what have I done? I killed my boyfriend.”

“I … I'm not dead,” you say quickly, even speaking is painful.

“Max, you are alive,” Jenny and embraces you stormy which is very painful considering your bruises, “sorry, sorry. My god, you are alive. How are you? Where does it hurt? Did I bite you? Please if I bit you, you are in great danger.”

“You tried, but I avoided it,” you answer and sit up laboriously, “I could keep you on distance with my belt.”

Jenny sobs in fear, guilt, and joy at the same time. She embraces you as tightly as if she would never let go. Luckily, you seem to have gotten a bit more used to the pain and it isn't so strong anymore.
