    The moon is full tonight... I can see the hordes of werewolves in the distance. I recognize one in particular. Alastor Croft, the wealthy young heir to the Croft family fortune, the same one, whose brother mysteriously disappeared on the day Alastor was struck with a terrible sickness...

    Their family's history has been one of tragedy. The first Croft, Lord Fenrir, built the family manor upon an old cultist ritual ground, despite the warnings of occult activity. Since then, the family has witnessed woe upon woe. The young heir's parents had been killed by a thug in Gallows Alley, leaving two young children the estate, and the family fortune. However, A terrible fever struck the younger, Alastor, and it infected his brother, killing the latter in the process. Not much is known of Alastor's condition, but one can hear howling on a full moon in the Croft Manor...

    At least, that is what the city of Carvina believes, far above all else, I know what has happened to Alastor... I have seen the symptoms beforehand, I knew how to cure it, and in turn, I commited the unforgivable sin; I sold my humanity. All for Alastor! He! who fell victim to the curse of Fenrir... He who exhibited signs of the curse since I found him in an alley, he, whom I gave my soul for in order to exact my revenge upon his attacker, cursed to walk the path of the nosferatu.... My brother, who is forever cursed to walk in the moonlight, a mindless beast of rage and bloodlust... I swear, I will avenge you. I will erase my name from existence if it would mean freeing you from this curse...

    As I rose from the lifeless body of my latest victim, a middle aged businessman by the looks of it, I saw him... Beyond the rage filled eyes, I saw something, sadness? Could it be that inside that layer of fur and hate, Alastor still retained his humanity somehow? I stood to meet his gaze... "Brother! if you still share my ancestors blood, come hither!"

    In order to receive your prize, you must enter your in-game name at the bottom of your story.

    [Thanks to Mrsberry for a great idea! ]

    You are going to end the story. Write an appropriate ending. Anything you like, just end it.

    As I watched Alastor charge towards me, I decided to go for broke, and smacked him on the nose, like I would any dog, granted, this was my brother, but he was still a dog. I must show dominance. The look on his face was priceless. I then told him "sit boy", and he sat. I had to chuckle, because he looked harmless when he was obedient.
    Nowadays he is the family pet. I have vampire bride, with two children. The children love their uncle Alastor, and even more so when he plays fetch with them... One night, I asked my brother, "would you still try to break this curse?" "No", he replied. "Sometimes you have to know when to quit. Life is good enough for me, I have no responsibility, everything is taken care of for me, and it seems I am popular around the goth girls these days..."



    150 words, something like this peeps

    Oh, and let me make it clear that ambassadors can write their own stories, but again, we're NOT entering.

    Does it have to be EXACTLY 150 words? Can we exceed the limit by say 10 or so words?

    150. I wrote that paragraph with 150 words, you can do the same. Shorten words and don't let your sentences run on. Make it straightforward, and you should be fine. There is a word-count tool here

    Ohhhh Kay... here I go.

    As I see him now, it seems our memories are all lost in our demonic forms. We stand before each other, calm but burning eyes. The moon sets the stage for the battle for our lives. As hunger dictates him, he stares at my empty gaze. The confidence of how I could destroy him in many ways...

    I say not much... but I do apologize. "My brother, I love you. But now you must die..."

    The ground below trembles with his heavy tread. My vision rumbles as I look to see, my brother with passion to relentlessly kill me. Our shadows pass, and for that slight moment we were together again. The full moon applauds us with its silver glow. It applauds for my tears. For my dear Alastor is dead. A trail of blood leads to his lifeless form. Human again, surprisingly, with my blade protruding from his heart...


    Forgot to put my name

    Is the word hell allowed? Is that appropriate? I use it one time, and I know some people are offended by it.

    It should be appropriate if used in the right context.
