Wolfbat

A new beggining

"I have to do this soon, if I don't then I will never be ready in time!" Emily complained. "You will have plenty of time to do it in the morning, your ceremony starts at 4'o'clock for Christ's sake, all you have to do is paint a stupid wall. It will be beautiful no matter what," replied Emily's mum. "Anyway, you have not even chosen what you want to be anyway."
"Yes I have, I told you already, it's not my fault you won't let me be a wolf, just because you became a stupid panda."
"Emily! Enough with the attitude, it doesn't suit you my dear."
"I wouldn't have to have an attitude if you let me be a wolf."
"I said enough! Do you hear me, now go to your room."
Emily storms off to her room and starts crying, "I miss you so much dad, I think mum still hasn't recovered yet, I don't think she ever will."
A few minutes later Emily's mum walks in, "I'm sorry darling, I know I have been a bit hard on you lately but, are you sure you want to be a wolf, I mean, you still have a day to decide."
"I'm sure mum, it's all I have wanted for years now."
"If that's what you want then let's go prepare for your ceremony."

After an hour, Emily and her mum have successfully painted a intricate design of a golden wolf covered with well crafted butterflies and bees.

In the morning Emily woke up with a pounding headache and was ready to die. However, she knew today was her day and she needed to go through with it, she threw on a violet coloured lace shirt that dips at the back and a pair of dark grey jeans, to top off the look she wore some black sandals made from leather and tied her hair into a bun. Usually she would let her handmaiden apply her makeup however, she could personally do a much better and faster job. she placed a foundation on that was a bit darker than her skin stone and some nice blusher to make her cheeks look healthy. She placed some brown eyeliner on and some violet, shimmery eyeshadow and some long mascara.
Finally she picked up the necklace her dad gave her before he died and placed it around her neck, she always loved this necklace. It had a silver chain and the whole way around there were tiny red pieces of glass hanging down.

She linked arms with her mum and they head towards there newly painted ceremony room. Lots of people had gathered from everywhere to watch Emily transform, however, if she attempted to early than she would have stunted her animals growth and it would be deemed useless, and if she attempted to late then her animal would never stop growing.

She released locks with her mum and walked up to the alter, she looked around and saw a huge variety of animals, she saw monkeys and bats, she saw cattle, sheep and elephants, all creatures big and small. The only on she had eyes for was the wolf. She took a few more steps and her heart was racing. She was sweating profusely and could hear her heart beating. The man said "What animal would you like to select?"
Emily looked up at him and noticed his unusually pale skin and light brown hair, he had a few wrinkles around his nose and she assumed he was around the age of 45. She muttered "A wolf,"
"Speak up young child, or else I will send you on your way with nothing but, well. Nothing!" She replied loudly "A wolf!"
He said "Much better, now give me your hand." Emily hesitantly placed her hand in his and ignored the crowds cheering and 'woos'. She took a deep breath and started singing the old Latin song with the man "Humeke, ga carbara! Humeke, ga carbara!" She must have sung this for what seemed like hours because it was quite dark by the time she had finished. She looked around and saw a huge lightning strike near the wolf, the wolf turned into something else, just for a second. She wondered what she had done, why she had chosen to go through he ceremony."
In that moment she felt an excruciating pain slowly creeping up her leg and slowly edging it's way to her head, she collapsed. When the pain reaches her head, she saw nothing.
