Grace was cursed.

I never once imagined saying those words, let alone, thinking them. She’d already decided to spend her life as a wolf. We had run away. We had given her a perfect last day. She couldn’t be cursed. She was going to beat it. But it was too late. Now, she didn’t have an option.

We had put so much hope into Grace turning into a wolf to live out her life uncursed that we never imagined the horrible reality of Elder would take Grace. She was way too sweet and kind to be turned into a rabid monster with no control and an insatiable hunger. It was the complete opposite of her in real life. It just wasn’t fair. The curse alone was bad enough, but this wasn’t something Grace should have ever had to deal with.

While Sera reassured me that the curse took time, and it would be days before Grace turned back into an uncontrollable monster, it didn’t matter. There was no cure. There was nothing I could do for her.

Grace fainted from the shock right after we all realized the truth. We took her unconscious state as a sign we needed to head back, and Sera and I managed to make a cot to carry her. It took us the rest of the day and into the night to make it to my place. Thankfully, Grace had been out the entire time.

The tree people of Elder had spent many seasons afraid of the wolves and the curse. While the wolf people always had the ability to shift into wolves, they had previously had control over when they shifted to their animal form. The curse, on the other hand, made them unable to control the monster they became.

None of the wolves wanted to be cursed, even wolves like my best friend Nikkan, who was currently not speaking to me. He preferred his wolf form, but he never wanted to be cursed. They wanted to be part of Elder like everyone else. To most of them, their wolf was just another side of them, like hair color. It wasn’t a bad thing until you got the curse that took away your control. No one wanted to lose control when they could easily kill any human they came across.

My mother had told us that wolves that shifted before being cursed could live out their lives as wolves. Grace was prepared to give up any hope of living her life as a human to do just that. She was ready, but it was too late. She was now infected with the same thing that had turned countless wolves into monsters of the night. Actually, they were the reason the people of Elder fled to the trees to live in the first place. Now, Elder would be divided again. The tree people in their treetop homes and the wolves roaming the ground below, trying to eat anything they could find.

I honestly don’t know what I would have done without Sera.
