I was running, fast, very fast, I looked down to see the ground passing so swiftly. The weirdest part was that I didn't see feet, I saw paws. My heart was beating faster and faster ever leap I took. Then I woke up with a jerk and gasped. The air was chilly and had a deep fog from the lake. The girl was still asleep napping right beside were my head was. It seemed to be really early. I got up unzipped the tent door and went outside. The reek of the blood almost made me gag, then all the memories of the night before relapsed in my head. I heard a moan from the tent and I figured the girl was just waking up. I went over to the truck that was still sitting by the water and grabbed the skillet and cooked up some eggs over the fire. I cant believe it was still going. The girl walked out right as I started to make some bacon and plopped on a chair. It was dead silent for at least 3 minutes until I asked her a question.
"So... Who are you?"
"Caroline, I don't remember my full name, last time I heard it was when I saw my family last."
"Hey, you have a voice." I said and made her smile. Her smile was as beautiful as she was.
"I guess I was a little quite last night..."
"You were scared to death I mean you slaughtered most of my friends."
"About that, why aren't you mad about that?"
"My mind wont let me be mad, I feel like I should but I just cant, it feels like its against my nature."
"Well that's never happened to me. It seems everyone that I meet thinks I'm a monster, besides my friend Lareta and her boyfriend Arran."
"Well make that one person more because I just cant stop thinking about you." I said slyly to try and charm her. Her cheeks went rose red and she covered her face with her hair. I pulled it back as I said, "No stop, your face is beautiful don't cover it." She blushed even more and I smiled. I couldn't get over the fact how she seemed to be the most beautiful person on earth to me. We sat in silence until I asked more. "So, that animal that you shaped from, what is it, it seemed like a fox but it had two tails, kinda like a story my mom told me when I was little about a fox with nine tails, I think it was called a Kitsune. Although it acted very differently."
"Well that's similar to what i am, only I'm not old enough for all nine tails. See I am also different because I am bigger than most other kistunes. We like to categorize our selves in species and classes. The species are Wolf, Kitsune, Eagle, and Phoenix. They all have unique things with them. Then there's classes, Class A-C, c as in being lowest, class c is the most common, mostly found as Were wolfs I very viscous animals, these are hardest to control and are controlled by the sun moon and both in rare cases. Class B on the other hand is just in between. Sometimes you'll see an animal attack on the news or something, those are caused by class b's. They are hard to control and sometimes break loose. They also are easier to communicate with. Finally there is class A, the highest ranked class there is, they consist of the alphas and pure breeds. Sometimes very rarely all the animals combine to one person and he becomes the alpha of all the shifters. It hasn't happened in a while but it should be happening soon."
"Hows does one become this creature called a 'shifter'?"
"You some how share DNA with someone who once was or is a shifter."
"So since this scratch I will become a shifter," I pointed toward the bandage wrapped around my stomach.
"Yes," she answered.
"Wonder what Ill be."
