[ Bro had warned them not to stay out after dark on a full moon. From the time he was two to the time he was sixteen he knew the rule, and yet the older he got, the more stupid and superstitious it seemed.
And so he'd gone out.
Not even to do anything important, just to do it, maybe to get some snacks and see a friend. He was out past curfew and it had seemed like such a good idea. Such a cool idea and the image of it in his mind had been perfect. Casually skateboarding down the street, leisurely enjoying the nightlight.
And then he'd gone past the park.
And then it had grabbed him. By the arm, swinging him around hard enough to rip it from it's socket and break it on impact. It had attacked him, grabbing at him with claws and teeth - and disarmed and outmanned, Dirk could only run.
The door to the apartment slams open at 3 in the morning. Bro is out - maybe clubbing, maybe on the roof, maybe hiding who even fucking knows - and Dirk is bleeding heavily enough to leave puddles where he walks. He fumbles for the lightswitch of their shared bedroom, grabbing for the first aid kit. ]
