Author's Note: Thanks to all of my readers, friends, and watchers. You guys are awesome! Since my last story was so sad, I've decided to post a more upbeat one today. This story will be told in first-person POV since I really enjoyed writing in that style with my last story. Hope you all enjoy!
How I Became a Wolf
I am James II, emperor of Jerk Island, and until this afternoon I was a human. It all started when I got a phone call from an old friend. Her name is Georgia Faron, princess of Faron Island and until this afternoon she was also a human. We were great friends in our teens and early twenties, but then we lost touch. She's a rather adventurous woman and never liked to stay in one place for too long. She's very attractive, but I never had the chance to tell her that until today.
"Hello James. Long time no see", she said
"Hello Georgia, how have you been", I said
"Oh you know, traveling the world, writing novels, you know, the usual. I'm in JIC on my way to Fox Hollow, want to hang out", she asked
"Sure. What would you like to do", I asked
"Definitely some lunch because I'm starving. After that, I want to visit a witch. I heard they're pretty popular in your town", she said
"Witches are scam artists. Magic isn't real", I replied
"You sure; I'm rather curious about them", she said
"Well, I think you'd be wasting your time if you went to see one of them", I said
"I don't care if magic is real or not, I just want to be able to say that I saw a Jerk Island witch", she said
"Well, alright. Where shall we meet", I asked
"How about Flexco's in the camera department at noon", she said
"Alright", I said
I met her at Flexco's a half-hour later. She was wearing an "I love Jerk Island" t-shirt and jean shorts with a straw hat. The back of her lovely brown hair blew in the wind created by the air conditioner. I was going to ask her if she truly loved Jerk Island or if she was being sarcastic, but I decided against doing that.
"Where do you wanna eat", I asked
"There's a restaurant in the store", Georgia said
"Are you sure you don't want to go to somewhere fancier", I asked
"I'm fine with places that aren't fancy, in fact I prefer them", Georgia said
So we went down to the restaurant at Flexco's and had a nice meal. We reminisced about the past, talked about our lives, the usual stuff friends talk about when they haven't seen each other in a while. Then she asked me something personal.
"So, are you seeing anyone", she asked
"Nope", I replied
"Me neither", she said. Then she looked into my eyes and at that moment I got hopeful. Maybe she wants me? I certainly wanted her.
"You're handsome, you know that", she asked with a flirting tone in her voice.
"Well, you're really attractive. Did you know that", I responded in a similar tone of voice.
She then held my hand and we walked out of the restaurant together. Afterwards, we went looking for a witch. We walked past this shady looking Laundromat and next door to it a sign read: "Potions galore".
"Let's go in there", she said
"You sure", I said
"Yeah, come on", she said
So we walked in and we were greeted by the most hideous witch I've ever seen. She wore a tattered brown dress and smelled like she hadn't bathed in days. She looked annoyed too and her hair was like a rat's nest.
"What do you want", she said in a voice that implied that we were wasting her time
"So...do you cast spells and stuff", she asked
"No dummy, I sell potions", she said
Georgia looked insulted, but she calmly replied with, "which one do you recommend?"
The witch got out a white potion from under the counter and said, "Drink this." Georgia did so and nothing happened...yet. The witch then turned to me and handed me a bottle of white potion too.
"Drink this, your majesty", she said in a snarky tone.
I did so, thinking nothing would happen and for about a couple minutes nothing did. Then I began to feel quite strange. My body convulsed and I could feel something changing inside of me. Then I saw white fur growing on my body and my nose and mouth turned into a muzzle. I felt a tail growing out of me too. A few minutes later and the transformation was complete. The witch held up a mirror and I saw that I had been turned into a white, anthropomorphic wolf. I looked over at Georgia and saw that she was transforming into a white anthropomorphic fox. When her transformation completed, the witch cackled at us and said, "got you suckers" and ran off. I started chasing after her, but then I felt Georgia grab me.
"Don't bother. I kind of like my new look", Georgia said
"Well, I don't like mine", I replied
"I think you're a handsome wolf", she said
I then looked at her and thought she looked absolutely gorgeous.
"You're a pretty fox", I replied
She then pulled me in and kissed me.
