THE WEREWOLF CHRONICLES: NIGHT CREATURE

Gruff was a boy in the wolf’s den. The only human stayed in the forest. He was grown up by a wolf mother, with wolf habits. He was about twelve years old. Although he was a human, but he couldn’t speak like a human. He couldn’t act like people. Wolfs had changed his fate. Hi lift like a wolf’s life.

His life was worse after a cub bit his thumb. It changed him to be a monster every full moon. When the full moon came, his muscles grew bigger. The skeleton in his arms, legs and all the part of body changed to be like a wolf, not a human again. He had become a monster. Gruff became a werewolf. Sometimes he was a human but sometimes he was more frightened than a wolf. He was like a night creature, a kind of evil. If he made a kill in the three nights of the full moon, he should have all the powers of a full blooded werewolf and remained a monster forever. He could change into human form at any time, but he must become a wolf when the moon was full.

However, Gruff still had human character in his heart, so nobody was killed by him when he was a monster. On the other hand, Gruff didn’t want to be a monster forever. He just went far away from the other creature, when he was a monster to detain his monster’s desire. That was to kill other.

Oooh, it’s so terrible story. I can’t believe that a human can be a wolf. I know it just a fiction story, but the book has brought me to the other world that forced me to imagine how terrible the werewolf is. Besides that, I also pride with the author, because of the authors’ creativity. They could make a full imagination story for the reader, where we can’t find it in the real life.
