Chapter one: The shifting

Marcel's POV

The morning light and rays of sunshine shone through my window waking me up on my final day living in the house I grew up in. For a moment I felt at peace, I felt like the world was in perfect harmony.

Reality came rushing back and a sigh escaped my dry mouth. I took a sip of water to quench my thirst and stood up out of bed to start the long day ahead of me and my family .We've been cast out of the city because of me, my mother lost her childhood home because of me. She will never admit it but I know I caused her and my sister a lot of pain by just existing, by just being me. Here is a quick run-down of what happened, March 20th my 16th birthday, the day I shifted for the first time.

"Welcome one and all to Marcellus Gino Bronco's first shifting ceremony!" the ruler of the 49th Quadrant hollered over the microphone in the middle of the stage in the city's center meet up point.

My heart began to race and my hands were really sweaty. "Everything will go smoothly" I kept repeating to myself. I was so nervous for my first shift, everyone always told me it's not so bad and that It's only uncomfortable for the first few minutes of the shift

The leader called me on stage and presented me with the ceremonial gown. I went behind the stage and changed into the itchy 100 year old gown just to come outside and have my mother beam at me like a mother would seeing her daughter in a prom dress right before the date picked her up, stupid gown, I call it a gown because the thing has nothing to cover the shoulders, its tight around the waist and goes all the way down to the floor in fabric.

How they keep this thing in such mint condition with every shift happening in this gown is beyond me

The moon shined on to the pedestal and I kneeled before the leader before the ceremony started "Repeat after me, Sacrum volte minorjun lacuna mordent maklaru porchailanectum espiritus" I repeated the phrase three times and my body started aching, my bones started shifting and breaking on their own accord, I screamed in pain and my mom started rushing to my side with my sister on her tail, but the leader kept her away from me not wanting me to hurt them during the shift.

My body relaxed after a minute or two and when I eventually opened my eyes I saw two greyish white paws , but before I could admire them my body started aching again, my bones shifting again and people gasping and murmuring among themselves

My body grew smaller in size and when I opened my eyes again instead of my human hands or the white paws I saw just a moment ago, I saw brownish red, almost ginger fur coated paws. I remember thinking to myself "what the fuck is going on!"

But before I could finish that thought my third and hopefully final shift happened and I shifted into my human form, not as painful nor was it uncomfortable in any way, Thank god

An almost magical aura coursed through me the second I could breathe again and I floated up into the air like a superhero of some sorts. A burst of energy shot out of my floating form into the sky around me in color that I can only describe as being the same as the northern lights. It felt almost surreal when the lights have run their course and the night sky resumed its original state filled with stars I floated back down

When my feet softly placed themselves back onto the stage floor I fell to my knees and looked at my mom, smiled the brightest smile and started tearing up with pure ecstasy....that feeling didn't last long as I looked up to the leader from my crouching position and the pure look of disgust on his face sent shivers through me and turned around and saw the looks people were giving me. "I will give this abomination until his next birthday to leave this city and never return or he will be executed. His mother and sister are more than welcome to stay but if they choose to leave with the monster they will be exempt from coming back ever again."

The leader's voice broke through the murmurs and stares and they all bowed and scrambled to leave the city square.

So that was how my first shifting went, super exciting right. So it's been a few months and I turn 17 in a few weeks. We found a place in the 92nd Quadrant that doesn't know my other forms of shifting they only know about my warlock powers

The most exciting thing about moving is to be able to shift again even tho I have to do it secretly, I wasn't allowed to shift here, they thought if I shifted I'd kill and hunt people for fun because that's what my nature was to them even though there were countless other wolves and foxes in this city.

I took the last of the packed up boxes and brought them down the stairs to the empty living room and took one last glance at the empty house and sighed a heavy dread filled sigh, my mom was busy packing the car and my sister now 14 years old who has grown quite a lot from the 13 year old from the ceremony, was packing her last boxes into the truck

I packed my last boxes as well and looked at my mom and asked her "are you sure?" she smiled at me and grabbed my shoulders and said with the biggest smile I ever saw "what type of mother would I be if I left my son just so that I can stay in a home that truly no longer welcomed me." I smiled back and hugged her

My sister came running to us and gave us both a hug. We stayed like that for a minute and looked at the house one last time before shutting the truck and getting in the car.

I put in my earphones and blasted music while my mom started the car and started the 10 hour journey to the place where we can finally be happy.

Happy for the most part I guess.
