Chosen By The Moon (Dylan) novel Chapter 407

I was already tired from the ache in my ankle, but nothing prepared me for the actual agony that was about to set in. An ear shattering scream that left my lips, and the sound of a large snap echoed through the gardens, as my right ankle suddenly and unexpectedly snapped out of place, leaving my foot to face entirely the wrong way. It was grotesque and the pain that rippled through caused me to convulse.

My trembling hands flew to the joint in order to soothe it, after what felt like someone had grabbed hold of it and snapped it like a branch. My breathing quickened, and my scream slowly became a disgruntled shout as I attempted to get used to the new sensations flowing through my body.

I was panicking.

My jaw began to ache and throb as I felt my teeth elongate slightly, also causing a trickle of blood to enter my mouth, before the teeth subtracted back into my gums.

"Argh!" I let out a scream as my left knee snapped and began bending the other way and, I let out a cry of agony when said knee once again snapped back to normal.

I received a total of 3 minutes respite, when A rather loud crack sounded through the air as my shoulder snapped out of place. Instantly my arm bent backwards, and remained that way, pointing behind me in an unnatural, uncomfortable position.

I screamed in agony again, nothing, absolutely nothing, not even the bite itself felt this painful. My limb just as quickly snapped back into place, immediately my body flopped to the floor, once again, and my breathing became heavy. This was not good.

I was scared, I was really scared and I just wanted someone to tell me everything would be ok. I just want to be hugged, and held sincerely, I'm ashamed to admit that I wished for death to consume me, simply to end my misery. I haven't cried for a long long time. My depression had simply eaten away at me and drained all my energy so that I had none left to portray my emotions, but as I sat there in the gardens of my prison, all alone and vulnerable... I wanted to cry.
