Summer
Midday, light showers

Dad woke up in the middle of the night to snack…  Good thing I didn't decide to wait an extra day before making that M&M run!  Unfortunately, I just realized now that I forgot to grab a couple extra pens while I was at it…and some more paper.  I didn't think I'd really get into this whole writing thing, but it's turned out to be kind of addicting.  Even more so when I know dad would be pissed if he ever found out!

Well, I better get some sleep.  I'm guaranteed a couple of days alone now that dad's had his fill again, but I need to be rested if I'm going to be spending all my nights running around out in the world.  I sure hope it's a lot more interesting than these mines…  Oh, who am I kidding?  Of course it'll be more interesting!


Summer
Early morning, foggy

There are no words to describe how absolutely awesome last night was!  I wish I could stay out both day and night…even though I know that's impossible.  Buy hey, you can't stop a ghoul from dreaming, right?

Anyways, I discovered this really pretty little pond in the forest.  Well, okay, so it was more of a swamp.  Still, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the way the water reflected the moon and stars…oh, it was just…perfect and peaceful and beautiful.  It was like stepping into this fantasy world.  I thought I'd found my own little paradise, away from these mines and more importantly, away from dad.

So there I was, just sitting on this rock throwing little pebbles into the water and watching the ripples distort the moon's reflection when all of a sound I hear this loud snap!  Well, it was probably faint, but I have amazing hearing thanks to my overly large ears (y'know, so I can hear my prey before they hear me…).  I turned around swiftly and grabbed whatever it was behind me and threw it over my head into the pond.  It wasn't a human, or dad (phew!).

It was something else.  Something different, but I didn't know what.  So I asked.  And it replied, "I'm a troll."  A troll?  "What's a troll?" I asked.  And the…troll said "Um, me?"  Oh, such a helpful answer, right?  So then I'm like, "And who are you?"  The troll paused before answering, "I'm…Ravly—er, Ravus."

By then the sun was starting to rise, so I had to leave.  Still, it turns out wendigos aren't the only non-humans lurking in the woods!  I'm going back tomorrow and hopefully Ravus will show up again.  I have so many questions!


Summer
Morning, overcast

Damn, he never showed up last night!  I sure hope I didn't scare him off…  It's not like I tried to rip out his vocal cords or heart and then begin to chow down while he was still alive like dad would've…  I'm going to try again tonight.  Keeping my fingers crossed!


Summer
Morning, sunny

Ravus was nowhere to be seen last night, either.  I'm going to cope by eating away my sadness with M&Ms…


Summer
Early morning, bit chilly

I'm about to give up hope.  Just my luck, the first time I see another non-human after my transformation, I scare them away without even trying.  I thought maybe after all these years alone (because no, skeletons don't count)…well, maybe I deserved a friend.  Or at least someone I could talk to.  But apparently that's not the case.  So I suppose…I suppose I'm on my own.  Again.


Summer
Morning, mild winds

Okay, so maybe I was totally wrong!  I debated forever last night about whether or not I should have tried once more…but I finally decided I just couldn't give up, so I went back once more…  I guess waiting was the key, because sure enough, Ravus was there!!!  I must've given him quite a scare, just jumping out of the trees like I did, waving my hands and shouting his name so loudly, because he ended up losing his balance and falling into the water again when he was turning around.  Oops…

So I apologized again and again as I helped pull him out.  But I forgot how strong my grip was, so I kind of flung him out of the water…and into a tree.  So then I had to apologize again, and I thought for sure he'd run off.  But he didn't.  Actually, he kind of started to laugh.  "What are you?" he asked.  Oh, great.  The last thing I wanted to say was that I was a wendigo, so I said, "How about you just call me Wendy."  He smiled, and for the first time in a long time I felt…warm.

We spent the rest of the night talking, and if Ravus hadn't mentioned that the sun was starting to come up I wouldn't even have realized!  It turns out that trolls can't go out in the sun, either…but rather than burn, they actually turn to stone.  Can you believe that?!  I sure can't, but it's nice to know that I'm not the only monster who's stuck living in darkness.


Summer
Morning, heavy showers

Ravus and I have hung out together these past couple nights, and I don't think I've ever been happier…except, well, maybe when I was still human.  But I've definitely never been happier since I was transformed.

Last night I asked Ravus what he used to do at night before meeting me…  I was curious to know if he was as lonely as I was.  Turns out that he usually does "homework" or "studies," and that he ever came to sit in the swamp and read during his summer vacation.  He mentioned school.  Well, I haven't been a wendigo so long that I'd forgotten what school is…but I was surprised to hear that monsters went to school.

He laughed when I mentioned that and said "Of course we go to school!  Education is what makes monsters most dangerous.  Knowledge is a much greater weapon than fangs or super-strength.  Or four inch nails," he added with a laugh, looking at my hands.

By now I realize that Ravus is such a nerd, but in an adorable way.  He likes pointing out constellations, or different types of algae in the swamp.  He just gets so excited.  Which makes sense, I guess, considering that he said most trolls are really stupid and can only like, groan.  I'm so happy Ravus is a smart troll, or he wouldn't be nearly as good a friend!


Summer
Afternoon, sunny

Did I really call Ravus my friend?  It's so weird, spending so much time alone and then suddenly having someone…a friend.  Not that I'm complaining!  It's nice, knowing that we can tell each other anything.  It's nice knowing he's someone I can trust.

You know what, diary?  I think I might just be able to trust him enough to share my M&Ms.


Fall
Morning, overcast

Ravus wasn't there last night, but he did leave a note.  School's started again, but seeing as he can't go outside during the day he has night classes…and that means that he won't be able to hang out anymore!

I was so sad…until I noticed he'd left a second sheet of paper with a map…a map to a place called Monster High.  Seriously, there's a school for monsters?!  In the bottom corner of the page with the map he'd written "Hope to see you lurking the halls soon!  Maybe we could be study buddies?"

Oh, Ravus is just too sweet!  And you know what else?  I couldn't care less what dad thinks (even though I never cared to begin with)…so, I guess I'm going back to high school, diary!  I'm so excited!

And maybe…maybe my life as a monster isn't going to be as horrible as I first thought.
Just like I promised, here's part 2!!! :squee:

And let me just say: OOOOOH, the plot thickens! I just couldn't not introduce Ravus. One, he's my favorite manster, and two, he's absolutely essential to Wendy. Because without him, she'd have never gotten to Monster High. But she's on her way now!

Ravus is important for one other BIG reason. After Wendy was turned by her father, she has been completely isolated and alone, with no friends or even companions. Ravus is the first person - er, monster - she meets, and more importantly, befriends. And honestly, I just think Wendy and Ravus are so adorable together like, a bajillion times over. :meow:

So right now, I need to address one thing: Tamon Calvary (~BagheeraCalvary's werewolf teacher MHOC [link]) who is Wendy's secret boyfriend...at least, he is once she gets to school.

I'm still trying to decide who Wendy will end up with...OH GOD, THE LOVE TRIANGLE ENSUES! ^^; Erm, yes, it does. Wendy hates her father, and enjoys doing anything that would have the most consequences were he to find out. Although he's very much indifferent about Wendy, she's still "his" daughter...but like property...and NOT in a sexual way, either! Basically, he doesn't like her wandering too far away. Her mom was the prey that *almost* got away, but he views Wendy as an extension of her mother...and he'll be damned if he lets her get away (mind, his plan's a bit flawed once you realize he spends most of his life sleeping and ignoring her existence... :XD:). But basically, once Wendy gets accustomed to school and being around others, she comes out of her shell and becomes kind of a "daredevil," willing to try out anything that would piss of her dad. And what could possibly piss him off more than giving herself away (figurative idea of ownership) to another monster, particularly one that's an adult, etc?

Exactly: NOTHING would piss him off more.

But then Ravus is still in the picture, trying to figure out his feelings for Wendy and Ghoulia (but that's completely unreciprocated, of course, becaue I'm not going to fuck with the canon and have Ghoulia leave Slo-Moe)... And once he does, well...what's a manster supposed to do when the girl he loves is dating a teacher?! And yes, Tamon and Wendy's relationship is very hush-hush...but of course Wendy's going to tell Ravus - who she knows she can trust - about it!

Okay, I think I've rambled enough...and now my brain hurts. :XD: Hope you like learning more about Wendy (and Ravus this time!). Part 3 is coming, but I've still got to write it.
