The porch swing creaked as Autumn swung back and forth, staring up at the silver crescent of the waning moon. The black velvet dome of the sky was a deep purplish black, and millions of stars winked down at her. She felt tiny and alone.

The back door swung open and Clover stuck her head out.

“Autumn, mom and dad are on the phone. They want to talk to you.”

Of course they did.

Autumn’s stomach twisted into an angry knot. She felt something dark and dangerous rumbling inside her, just under the surface of her skin. She’d never felt this way before. Something was wrong with her. Something was changing.

She leaped to her feet. “I’m about to go for a run.”

“What? Now? It’s dark out!” Clover protested.

“I won’t go far. I’ll stay on the property,” Autumn said, quickly shedding her clothes and leaving them in a pile by the steps. She heard Clover saying “Sorry, she still doesn’t want to talk to you. She’ll come around.”

Oh, if only you knew, Autumn thought as she sank down to all fours and leaped off the porch. If only I could tell someone. Her burden was like a heavy stone weighing down on her heart. She’d meant to do the right thing. She really, really had. Instead she’d made everything a million times worse.

She shot off into the darkness, her vision shrunk down to blacks and grays but her scent keen and sharp. The dark, angry beast that lurked inside her fought with her coyote, fought for control, but she didn’t recognize this beast, and she sensed that it was dangerous. She forced it back down and ran for the trees. She’d run and run and run, bathing in the sensations and the sounds and smells of the forest until she’d burned everything else from her troubled mind.
