RED (Dianakko)

13

For the first week Ixtec begun teaching her how to fight first, saying how its important to learn how to fight and defend yourself, specially for a demon, so she complied, first having problems with her technique, but she soon got a hang of things, but figuring out her so called powers was a different story, she did as many test, she even trained with Bo of all people, but she was more focused on controlling her unknown powers than trying to get back at the woman who did this to her in the first place, even though she really wanted to punch her in the face.

"This isn't working, how many more of these test do I have to figure this shit out," Akko groaned to herself, walking away from the training area and into the forest, taking deep breathes as she looked around her surrounding area, watching a squirrel climb the tree, as she continued her walk, instantly feeling at peace after the whole chaos her life has become. It didn't take long before she grew tired and decided to rest against a tree, playing with a couple twigs in silence, which was unusual for someone who lived a life with so much noise, but she was actually ok with that.
A snap caught her attention, as she looked up to see a gray wolf step into view, tilting its head, as it slowly made its way towards her, so Akko tried to stay still and not startle the creature as it studied her, finally coming face to face with her.
"Hey buddy, aren't cute," she said softly, slowing rasing her hand out to the wolf so it can get familiar with her scent.
The wolf cautiously sniffed her hand before nuzzling it, giving a couple of licks before sitting down, its tail wagging in excitement, which made Akko giggle, as she grabbed a hold of a sturdy stick, chucking it to see if the wolf would play fetch, but it just looked her, not even bothering with the stick that was thrown.
"Well that didn't work, hmm how about we go for a run, I could let off some steam," Akko said, getting up from the ground, stretching her stiff limbs, before taking off, the wolf surprisingly following her as they ran deeper into the forest, not noticing how her body started glow softly, as world view became sharper, and before long she was running on all fours, which made her skid to a stop, looking down at her furry paws, whining in surprise, realizing how she transformed into an animal, just like she used to do at Luna Nova, but this time without a wand.
The wolf nudged her shoulder, gaining her attention, urging her to follow the wolf, and after the shock wore off, she followed the other animal, as the wolf led her back to the house, giving her a soft nudge before leaving her.
Akko looked around in a panic, not sure how she can turn back, seeing how this is a lot different than magic, seeing how she was still able to talk when she did her favorite spell, but all she can is whine and growl, which is super frustrating; she eventually trotted to the back door, prodding at it in hopes someone will hear her, but no one came out, which caused her to growl in frustration, so she did the only rational thing in her opinion, and rammed into the door, causing to swing forcefully open.
She jogged inside, sniffing around in hopes of finding a familiar scent, but she smelled no one, which meant she was alone to figure this out on her own or at least try to figure it out. She ran up the stairs, glad that her room was slightly ajar, and that she didn't have to break down her own door just to get in.
So she started her descent into transforming back, but as much as she tried to think about what she looked like or how she tried to talk, in hopes it'll be the same metamorphosis spell but without the talking, but this lasted for hours, feeling herself lose hope and slowly she jumped onto her bed, deciding to take a nap and try again when she wasn't so exhausted.

Akko jumped up gasping, the freezing good water that was thrown at her soaking through her clothes, looking at Ixtec in shock.
"Good morning, it's time to begin training," he grumbled, already in his workout gear.
"Uh, right...wait a minute, I'M BACK TO NORMAL!!" Akko exclaimed, jumping up, inspecting herself.
"What do you mean 'back to normal'' " he questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Oh well yesterday, I kinda transformed into a wolf, but its a lot different than what I'm more used to, it just happened, but I didn't know how to turn back," Akko rushed out, no longer bothered by how her clothes stuck to her skin.
"Wonderful! Get dressed, we're going to figure this out, and hopefully soon see what other powers you have," he grinned excitedly, walking out the door, leaving the girl to get ready.

"Well you make a cute puppy," Bo chuckled, leering down at the whining pup.
"Dear, leave the girl alone, I'm pretty sure stress is not helping her go back to her human form," Ixtec said, grabbing a bottle of water.
"How about we stop training for now, specially seeing how we can't train her in this state," he said, gesturing to Akko who was now trying to catch her own tail.
"Right, well come on Akko, let's get you to your room, seeing how you can't even reach the door knob," Bo sighed, grabbing the excited puppy in her arms.
All Akko can do is bark, trying to speak, but no actual words came out as she was carried off towards the rooms.
"Look I know you don't like me because of what I've done to you, but I promise to help you figure this out, I'm the one of gave you this new life, and so I should take full responsibility," Bo rambled out, hoping to try to build a connection between them, seeing how this time the girl can't stop her from speaking this time.
"And maybe one day, you'll see me as your mother," she whispered, making the pup squirm uncontrollably in her arms.
She set the girl down, bidding her farewells before closing the door, leaving Akko alone, as the girl made herself comfortable on the bed, whimpering to herself as she thinks about everyone she left behind, all the cool new spells shes missing, and becoming better at riding a broom, but instead she's here, alone, and trying to figure out this new life of hers, Akko simply doesn't know anymore, she feels so empty and scared, something she never thought she'll feel, seeing how she's been and seen some crazy stuff, but this was clearly a whole new experience she wasn't ready for, and probably will never be ready for.
She got up from the bed, jumping on the window ledge, staring out into the night that had no moon, and no stars, only darkness.
