New Age

Chapter 6-Panic

 Taking off my torn-up shoes, I burst through the doors of the gym. This was bad really, really, bad. I had just changed, almost completely mind you, in front of almost the entire school. This wasn't an ordinary quarter change this was what I call a "Half- Change". This is where when I transform my hands, feet, and ears are altered and I get a tail too. ANYONE SEE AN ISSUE HERE?! Oh but something good that comes out of this all of my senses get enhanced, but I do blackout somewhat whenever I initially transform like this. Also, I have this weird animal-like instinct in my head that is extremely loud whenever I half- transform. While running through the halls of the school my animal instinct is just repeating the same word over and over: HIDE. So my new goal is exactly that: hide where no one can see you. While running my thoughts are getting louder and louder in my head, which in turn makes me more stressed out, INTURN making my time in this form longer. I realize I can hide in the dorms because only 2 people can get in there: Scarlet and myself. I kept running, trampling some kids who looked extremely confused when they saw me. I kept on running from floor to floor until I finally got to the dorms.

I slammed my key into the door and almost forgot to close it on the way in. I booked it to my room and hid under the bed. I grabbed a flashlight that was under there and started examining myself. Oh by the way werewolves' fur depends on the color of their hair, brown hair brown fur. Since my hair is naturally blue, don't question, my fur is blue in turn. I started looking at my arms seeing how far the blue went up to my arm. The fur was up to my elbow on both arms and my feet, or paws I guess, had fur going up to the knee caps. I felt the 2 fluffy ears on both sides of my head, normal floof level, the tail was the same as well with its usual white tip. I sighed and just accepted that I might be here for a while. After I made sure everything was ok I got onto the actual bed and started to cry. I don't know how long I cried but I do know I needed it.

By the end of my cry session, I realize maybe I shouldn't have done that. I thought that because, well, the fur on my arms and legs had crept up my body a bit more than before. That's not good but as long as I don't panic more I'll be fine, right? I'm sitting on the bed, thinking thoughts, when I think I hear footsteps coming towards the door. I shrug it off, thinking it's just people coming back from the gym, but it only sounds like one person. I keep listening and it sounds like they're running, and it also sounds like they're getting closer! Few more seconds go by and the footsteps are definitely coming towards here! I start panicking wondering what to do and where to go and the next thing I know the footsteps stopped directly in front of my bedroom door. I sat in horror as the door handle jiggled. I heard a familiar voice curse on the other side of the door, I couldn't make out the voice if you were curious. After that I heard them walk a few steps away, I relaxed a bit, until I heard something pound against the door. Footsteps, pounding footsteps pounding, I started to tense up as the door looked like it was going to come right off the hinges. After the 5th pound, the door came crashing on the floor and I was mortified at who I saw.
