Roar

Chapter five

   Its been a whole week since the blurry visions and strange dreams and blue lights and shits.

  The doc recommended that I be homeschooled for a month. Until my hair goes back to its original color. 

  Yep, my hair has unexpectedly changed color from platinum blonde to smokey brown. 

Last Wednesday, I woke up and like usual went downstairs for breakfast. Ma was washing dishes and yelled like crazy and yelled so hard she even dropped the bowl she was holding.

  I was rushed to the hospital and Pa, Joseph and Missy met us there. 

The doc had no explanation for this. He insisted on examining me. But Ma firmly said no. She said that Joseph's hair color changed from blonde to brown too, but Joseph said he had no recollection of that ever happening.

So we went home and Ma insisted on shaving my hair off. But the problem was that it wasn't just my head. My eyebrows too.

So until the month was over and half of September I have to wear a beanie.

  Now back to this day. Its currently 5:00 p.m and we're waiting for Pa to come home.

Everyone at school has been texting me, calling me, skyping me, DMing me, but I ain't gonna answer. Its not that I don't want to; its that I can't. Ma said I can't so I'm not gonna do it.

  Max has been coming over after school mainly to tell me the latest gossip and bring me my homework. But he leaves as fast as he comes.

  Also, I've been eating a lot, according to Ma. Eating non stop. Especially fish, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, any berries.

   Not my fault.

   It was late at night. Or should I say early morning. 2:00 a.m to be exact.

  The Mathers' household was as quiet as a graveyard. Everybody was asleep. Peacefully. All but except one.

  Marshall.

  He was tossing and turning. His pajamas were ripping apart. The sheets in which he was gripping on, were shreded. He was extremely sweating.

  It was stage one of his transformation.

   He screamed in agony and Mr and Mrs. Mathers came in rushing. They tried to wake their son, but they couldn't.

   And poor Marshall was screaming as his body burned.

  The Mathers were very worried so the Josh carried his son into his SUV and left for the hospital.

  It was 5:00 a.m and the Mathers' were in the waiting room. Their son had been taken into a bunch of studies and the doctors finally concluded he was in some sort of coma. He was conscious, but couldn't wake up.

  Mrs. Mathers cried, but there was nothing she could do but wait.

  Mr. Mathers took the rest of the week off and also called the high school saying Missy couldn't go either and informing the school about Marshall.

  Joseph canceled his flight back to Ohio in order to remain with his family.

  It was an extremely hard day for the Mathers, knowing that the youngest family member, the baby of the family, was in coma
