Shifter Academy: Book One Of The Shifter Academy Series

Felines

Her feline forms^^^
I woke up to Sydney's face on my stomach and Natalia feet in my face and then there Beth sleeping on the other side of the bed with no one disturbing her but she was snoring very loudly.

I slipped out of the 2 harpies talons and cleaned up the mess from last night, I also filled up the food and water dishes. My kittens were following me around not wanting me to be alone. I quietly crept downstairs and started making breakfast for them. Frank came in not even 10 minutes later I'm guessing to start breakfast but I stopped him "it's the weekend Frank, go tell your mate I'm giving you 2 the day off. Go on a date or something" i say shooing him of, he thanks me repeatedly and then walks back to the servants quarters with a bit of a hop in his step. I finish breakfast just as they're starting to wake up and come downstairs.

The rest of the day we joke around and play bored games it's at least 10 P.M when I finally get them all to leave including Zack who was incredibly reluctant. When I shut the door I hear "And I thought they'd never leave" and you guessed it Belladonnas back.

"Your in for a world of pain but the gifts are extremely powerful to have so its worth it. For some reason my husband has taken a liking to you so he got me to give you a giant gift which is more like a bunch of little gifts if you count the big picture" she says.

"We'll give you the Panther first" she says evilly and then she touches my arm and steps back. I feel a bunch of bones start snapping and reforming but the pain is so immense I don't even recognize what the sounds are, I go to scream but no sounds come out. " ah ah ah ahh wouldn't want anyone to storm in now would we!" She says with a cackle at the end.

She poofs up a mirror when the pain slowly stops, I look at the mirror and in my place is a big Panther.She walks up to me and touches my forehead again, the pain starts all over again but on a higher level.

"Now the Snow Leopard" I hear her say quietly. The pain is so extreme i start crying but, I think this pain is messing with my power of the elements because next thing I know is I'm surrounded by a ring out fire. It soothes the pain done to a bearable level, she frowns at me "aww your no fun but don't worry I won't let it burn your floors" she says while snapping her fingers that gives off a small spark of green.

When the pains stop I can see that I'm now a snow leopard and I can also see that whatever force held the goddess's back from before is now holding my kittens back. I can hear 2 worried small worried voices one is male and the other female, I think it's Coal and Naveh. 'Oh I hope she's okay' says the female one, 'she'll be okay, she'll be okay' the male one chants. I'm almost positive it's Naveh and Coal.

I feel a touch on the forehead again but even with the fire this pain is worse. "Time for something a little extra, a regular Leopard" I hear her say. I feel my bones breaking but I don't even care, I just want the pain to be over. It stops again but I don't even bother looking because I know what I'll see.

"Well okay don't even look to see what that pain was worth. Ok next one Tiger" the pain isn't as bad this time but I suspect that's because people have shifted into this before, it soon stops again and then I feel another tap because I think she realizes I'm too exhausted to even lift my head. I hear a third voice before the pain starts again it's male, I believe it's Charlie 'she's got to be okay' it ends with a whine.

The pain starts yet again this ones the worst so far. "Now we have the white tiger. Sweetie listen to this, natural shifters who don't get the help of that pain reducing paste, feel this when they shift as well so don't think I'm giving you this pain all because of fun. Yes, some of it is for my enjoyment but most of it is the pain from a natural shift" when the pain stops I hear no new voices, I hope they are my kittens and I'm not going crazy.

I get a bit of a smack on the head this time but I think that's mostly because I was gonna pass out on her. "This one will be easier it's only a Cougar" and she's right it's not as bad as the last one but it still feels like I'm getting a 1000 cuts instead of liquid fire in my veins. I hear what I believe is Aria's voice 'stupid barrier get out of the way I need to save her' I smile a bit at her thinking she can stop this pain.

I get yet another tap to the head but this time it's to the nose. "Now we need some dominant female. Here's the Lioness" the pains not absolutely intolerable but it's worse than before when I got a normal shifter animal but, I suspect it's to my energy being drained so much that the flames are getting smaller by the minute. I hear yet another voice but this one is a fierce sounding female Nila's I think 'she's going to be alright, she has to be alright'.

I soon get a tap but between the eyes this time. "Come on this is the final one, big cat I mean. The Cheetah!" She says. The pain starts again it's worse than the last one but I think the flames have gone out so that makes sense. When it finally dies down I hear her close to my face "I will be back in 2 hours for the Water Creatures next, so get some rest you'll need it." And with that I hear what I hope is the last of my kittens voices Isla 'finally that weird barrier thing is down and now we can help her' that's all I hear before I feel six little bodies pressed against me before I pass out. 'They all had emerald necklaces on, I wonder why?'
