It all started in school. Yep. In school! This whole mess started with a freaking assignment! Like what? That just doesn't happen! Okay, I should probably introduce myself. The names Shiadow. Shiadow Kelly. And now I should probably start from the beginning. The beginning of I waited for the teacher to call my name. I think there were only about three of us left to present.
The end.
___________________________________________________________________________ "Ms. Kelly." Mrs. Gael started. "It is your turn to present now." She then stated.
Oh god, here we go... I thought as I slowly walked to the front of the classroom.
"Uhh, hi. For my chosen legend, I chose Skin-Walkers..."
"...So to sum it up. A Skin-Walker: In some Native American legends, a skin-walker is a person with the natural ability to turn into any animal he or she desires. To be able to transform, legend sometimes requires that the skin-walker wears a pelt of the animal. In most cases, this pelt is not used in modern times because it is an obvious sign of them being skin-walkers.
Similar lore can be found in cultures throughout the world and is often referred to as shapeshifting by anthropologists." I paused for a minute and everyone started to clap, assuming I was finished. I held up a hand to silence them. "Not quite finished yet..." I said. They all looked at me intently. "Everyone refers to them as legends, but what if they aren't? What if they are walking around today...Among us?" I then had completely finished. They all clapped again, but looked more confused than they did before. I sat down and waited for the next name to be called, but then... "Next is Mr. Mc... *RING* " And that's the bell! Everyone practically ran out of the room. I waited for my best friend Carson.
"Hey Carr!" I said happily. "Your presentation went really well." I told her.
"Really? I was like, soooo nervous!" She said, dragging out pretty much all of the vowels in the sentence. "Yours was amazing by the way. Oh, one thing though, what you said about them being real was just for a dramatic finish right. You don't actually believe it do you?" She questioned.
"No! Of course not." I scoffed. But even then I doubted what I was saying. Maybe they were real... I shook the thought away, and jogged to catch up with Carson, who had walked ahead while I was deep in thought. "Hey Carr! Wait up!" She turned around and laughed. "Hurry up slowpoke!" She giggled.
"Calm down, I'm coming!"
