Chapter One

Surprises

 

I can't say many things about what was happening. I was holding onto my cup so hard, I was surprised it didn't burst.

 

“Anya, say something!” My mom said happily.

 

I slammed my cup down so hard, juice went everywhere.

 

“You're Getting Married?!?!” I yelled as I stood up. “How could you? You barely know this guy and your ready to give this guy your heart?!?” I winced on the last word.

 

“Anya, Honey, don't be mad about this.” My step-dad-to be said. “This is a new experience for you.” He said. H reached for my moms hand and she happily took it.

 

“How can I be happy about this? My mom is all I have and you over here are going to take it?!” I yelled over my shoulder as I was walking for the door. “Besides, you're not fit to be the next Watcher, Carl!” I yelled again. As soon as I was out of the room, I started running down the hall.

 

My name is Anya Watch. I am one of the Moon watchers. My Mom's mom was a Moon watcher, and it goes on for generations. I remember when my mom told me what I am. She said “Anya, you are like grandma.” I knew from then what I was.

 

As I was saying, a Moon Watcher is someone that keeps track of the Moon Cycles. For every Moon Cycle, there is a watcher. My Cycle is the Full Moon. I also have gifts. Usually, a watcher only has one gift. I have three. Well…Right now I only have one. There is also a certain way you can tell if someone is a Watcher. They have the Cycle smack dab in the middle of their forehead. If it is a New moon, they just have a star. I used to be teased about it.

 

I touched the marking on my forehead. It started stinging. This was one of my gifts. If something bad was happening in a mile radius, I would know. I closed my eyes and saw him.

 

“Oh great.” I groaned. I turned around in the hall and started running. When I reached his room, I started laughing. There was my professor, green, standing over a fire. His hair was blown back, and also purple.

 

“Is everything alright here?” I asked. He looked up.

 

“Oh yeah, everything is fine. Just the usual. My skins turning colors and my eyebrows are burnt off. Now if you don't, I Would LIKE TO BE MYSLF AGAIN!” He yelled.

He turned around and if people couldn't hear me now in this little town, they could now. He didn't flinch, didn't move.

”Oh pray tell, what is it this time.” He asked annoyed.

 

I covered my mouth and tears were streaming down my face from laughing so much.

“Y-You H-Have A TAIL!” I said.

 

The professor looked at me, and then he shook his head.

 

“Anya, don't be sil- AHHH!!” He put the tail in front of his face. His eyes widened. He looked at me hopefully.

 

“Anya, be a dear and HELP ME OUT!” He yelled.

 

“All right! All right! But only if I get to pet it!” I said.
