Seleno Chapter 2: Changing Perspective
'Tick tock tick tock tick tock' The clock continued its countdown... I was sitting in biology staring at said clock, as the time before the end of school dwindled. Tick tock tick tock. Man, Why does it feel like the ticking sound is drilling into my head... Ticktockticktock! I cursed under my breath. This day wasn't the greatest in the world...all day I had had a headache, all day I had been plagued by random itches, all day the sounds of the world seemed to be amplified! What the hell was happening to me... finally after what could be deemed an eternity the end of day announcements came on. I successfully made it to the bus problem free, were I found Jake waiting for me...
"Hey! You should come over" he said as we boarded the bus. "You know I--" I started but was interrupted. "Come on, you never come over to my house!" he complained. "But--" as I said this I was once again interrupted. "Please!" he begged... at this point I was certain he wouldn't give in without a fight... "fine..." I sighed, and he smiled. We sat in silence for the rest of the bus ride and when we got off my sister headed one way while me and Jake went the other. Jake's house always reminded me of a tropical beach with its sky blue walls and pale floors. "How was school?" said a familiar warm voice as we entered. "Fine mom!" Jake said as she came into view. Jake's Mom was one of the nicest people I knew. Her personality almost seamlessly matched her appearance, She had red-brown hair and light blue eyes... "oh hello Mike, Its been a long time" she said kindly to me. "hello..." I replied. "We're going upstairs." Jake announced. "okay...If your hungry let me know..." she replied as we walked to Jake's room. It like the rest of the house had pale wood floors but its paint was a darker shade of blue. Every available surface was covered with books of various sizes the only thing that was different was that on the desk in the corner of the room was a medium sized TV that appeared to have been put there rather hastily and the new Wii U. Jake was an avid reader and read at any possible time. We played the Wii U for a while, and Jake's Mom was kind enough to bring us some chocolate chip cookies. We sat there eating when suddenly I felt worse, my stomach was obviously not agreeing with the cookies. "I...I think I'm going to go..." I told Jake "okay" he said. As I walked out the door I heard Jake's mom say good bye. As I headed home I felt hot and itchy. I scratched myself as best as I could. When I got to my house I headed upstairs. Once I was alone in my bedroom I took off my shirt to try to find the cause of the itching and was shocked by what I found. Since when did I have so much chest hair? But then my shock worsened. My "chest hair" was growing... spreading. Then I felt it, a weird sensation in my stomach that felt as if my insides were moving. The tingling sensation spread to my feet and I was stupid enough to look down... why was I so stupid... anyways I uttered the traditional "AH!" that goes with good shock. My legs were...changing! As I watched my sockless feet were lengthening and my toes shifted into what looked like paws, my body naturally readjusted its self so that it was standing upright on my now digitigrade-like legs. I slowly realized what was happening... I was becoming a werewolf...but that had to be impossible. Werewolves don't exist...do they? I watched as the black fur covered my new feet and as my hands began to change as well. My fingernails were replaced by sharp claws and I was slightly surprised that what was happening to me didn't hurt, like it showed in the movies. The palm of my hands, as well as the tips of my fingers became leathery just as the fur spread to my hands. The odd thing was That I wasn't scared, more amazed at how fluidly the fur crept across my skin, but not scared. Suddenly a sharp sting coursed through my spine. It felt like someone had tazered me. I then felt the weirdest sensation yet. I felt as my spine started elongating and quickly pulled my pants in such a way, that my newly forming tail hung out over the pants waist. It felt... awkward having a tail... I could feel it like any other part of my body. The fur began to slowly spread up my neck and as it reached my chin, my nose and mouth pushed out forming a muzzle, my teeth changing into sharp canine fangs. My ears started moving up my head becoming pointed and lupine, as the fur finished its growth. Then and only then did the most drastic change occur, my mind was flooded by the enhanced senses and instincts and I suddenly felt exhausted. I looked into the mirror nearby and found a werewolf covered in black fur with golden yellow eyes staring back. As I took in this change my tail started wagging. "AH!" My sister yelled, I darted to the door and ran to her bedroom. When I got there I found a female werewolf covered in sandy brown fur standing there wearing my sister's clothing. She took one look at me and quickly grabbed the baseball bat that leaned against her bed. Great... "Ow," was all I said as the bat collided with my head. "hey its me! Mike!" I stated, my voice slightly more rough, I shouldn't have been able to talk and yet there I was talking. "Mike?" The she-wolf said. "What's happened to you...us?" she asked. "I-I don't know" I replied. It was then that I heard it... In the distance a door was opening... Our front door! I quickly closed the entrance into Celine's room as A voice called out... "Mike, Celine! I'm home!" said our mother loudly. she walked up the stairs slowly "Guys, I'm home" soon she was right outside the door that hid us. "oh shit!" I whispered as we watched the door handle start to turn..
