Shifters - Animal

Thank you so much to whoever voted on a couple of the chapters! I'm sorry but I can't find your name at the moment but if I do I'll add it here!

Knock! knock!

I knocked on the door. I heard rushed footsteps and then a worried-looking Mike opened it and gave a sigh of relief.

"Where have you been?!" He asked, "Are you okay?"

"I went to the woods as I said! Yes, I'm fine." I reassured him

"I thought you were only going for a quick walk! You were gone for hours!" he exclaimed

"Who gave you that idea? I love the woods so I went exploring for a bit." I explained

"You're meant to be ill!" Claire shouted, "I told you he was faking it, Mike!"

"Uh, I wasn't faking it and I don't have the energy to argue with you right now so I'm going to bed," I told her.

I went upstairs and threw on some pyjamas and flopped onto my bed sighing and immediately falling asleep.

<<<<< >>>>>

Running, I was running, again. But it wasn't the same dream as before. I knew I was in wolf form as I was running too fast and too agile to be in human form.

"Run, Jay, run!" I heard a woman voice scream. "You're going to be okay, just run and don't st-" she was cut off when she started screaming. I don't know who she was but I listened to her and ran for my life, literally. I felt a part of me start to hurt, but ignored it and carried on running. Now I was in my normal dream. I kept running knowing I was going to end up by the lake and get tackled by the all-black wolf. I stopped to look in the lake again, it seemed I couldn't stop doing that. 'Wait! I'm tiny. I'm normally much larger.' I looked upon my small form knowing it was me but a smaller version. I then remembered my situation and ran. Once again I was knocked over and saw the midnight wolf towering over me...

I woke up with laboured breaths. What on earth was that?! Why does it keep getting longer?! I glanced at the clock and it was already 6:20 am so I decided to start getting ready for the dreaded school. 

<<<<< >>>>>

I sat down in my first lesson of the day; RS. Ugh, I hate this lesson it's so boring and the tests are way too hard! I sighed getting ready to be bored for the next hour of my life. An hour later the bell rang and I sighed again, picked up my bag and headed towards maths. Next was double maths! I love double maths I get to use my brain and I get to listen to Jake and Emma make fun of each other the whole time. Yes, I'm a nerd so what! After maths, was computer science and we coded for the whole lesson it was very fun. Last I had games and I played badminton with the closest person I have to a friend, Kayden, he's cool.

It was a tiring day so as soon as I got home I went to bed, not before grabbing a snack though, food is one of the best things ever. Part of me went to bed because I was tired, the other half wanted to find out the rest about my dreams.

<<<<< >>>>>

I woke up breathing heavily once again, sadly my dream hadn't developed any more than last time. I sighed and went downstairs knowing that dinner would have been ready a little bit ago. I took my leftovers back to my room and started to research wolves because I was bored and wanted to know more about my other 'form'.

"Jay, you took your time" Claire helpfully pointed out

"Sorry," I apologised sarcastically

"Your attitude is going to get you in trouble soon. You should learn to be nice to people,"

"Come on now Claire, he doesn't need a lecture over every little thing he does slightly wrong, " Mike popped into the conversation

"Whatever!" Claire replied "it's not like it's going to help anyway, he's always going to be annoying, and rude,"

"Bye again then," I said leaving, I'm not about to hear her talk s*** about me again, it does not help at all. Why does she have to work here?! Why does she hate me so much? What did I do to her?!

I went back to my room with the leftovers and ate whilst listening to music. After quite a while it was time for bed, even though I wasn't tired so I got ready and fell asleep.

<<<<< >>>>>

RIIIIING RIIIIING

Yes, another day over! Ugh, why did I have to have double English?!? At least it's done for another two weeks.

"Hi!" I heard someone shout but carried on walking, they weren't talking to me obviously. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around, "You forgot this!"

"Um, thanks," I said shyly, they noticed me, what?!? No-one notices me

"No problem, have a good day!" well they were very happy. Couldn't relate.

I carried on walking through the corridors and out into the chilly winter air, preparing myself for the walk to come.

Oh f*** my grade came back today. I quickly opened my phone and went on the school app. I was relieved to see that I got grades that I was happy with.

<Tracker Grades>

Computer Science - B2

English - C1                       ah could have done better with that one

Maths - A*2

RS - B3

Biology - A*1                    YESSSSSSSSS

Chemistry - A*3

Physics - A*1                    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I carried on walking very chuffed with my science grades as they and maths are my favourite subjects. Yay! Now I don't have to worry about what Mike and Claire will think!

I got home and Mike congratulated me on my science and maths grades. Claire just stared at me clearly not happy that I got good grades.

I ran upstairs to do 'teenage things' as Mike calls it.

<<<<< >>>>>

"Run, Jay, run!" I heard a woman's voice scream. "You're going to be okay, just run and don't st-" she was cut off when she started screaming. I then heard another voice, one I hadn't heard before. "Son, run listen to you mother, don't worry about us we'll be fine as long as you are. RUN!" he shouted. 'Dad? that was my dad and my mum?! What happened to them' was all I could think for the rest of the dream. I ran into the clearing once again and saw that I was again a small version of myself. 'Is this a flashback? A memory? Is this what happened to my parents?'
