Shapeshifters Tale

Chapter 8

I felt like I was going to pass out Nathan and his brother was on there way here and I told the wrong twin about my secret and now the real Nathan is going to find out as well, I think it's over between us given our last meet and greet it didn't go so well. Oh, how F up could this get? When my mother called up to me yelling Interrupting the peace that this house once had.

"Honey, Nathan and his twin brother are here to see you" I let out a big sigh putting on my make-up well there's no better time than now I guess.

"let them upstairs mother," I ordered. My mom let the boys upstairs to my room while I waited on my bed impatiently. When they finally got up to my room. Nathan or his brother I didn't know which was which anymore or who I was dating came in and kissed me on the cheek. I guess nothing had changed between us. Maybe his brother didn't tell him exactly everything that happened between us yesterday I thought.
"So my brother told me something that I didn't quite understand." He said pausing half way through.
"You can turn into cats?" He asked blankly.  I let out a sigh just my luck. I guess I couldn't avoid this dreaded conversation.
"Yes, but not just cats, but I can shift into anything really. Sometimes people. But it's only happened once" I added quickly before one of them could assume anything. "So what happened why did you play the twin switch on me?" I asked childishly trying to change the subject from my freaky flaws. Nathan's brother laughed at my comment and tried to explain.

"Well, my brother Nathan had a game and are mom wanted Nathan to be there so We made a switch. Nathan told me some facts about you for the dinner and told me what to if I got frustrated---" I cut him off there.

"Um,  don't you mean if Nathan got frustrated and you failed by the way Nathan doesn't get all hot headed on me," I said waiting for him to apologize. They both laughed In response while I guess Nathan, hit his brother.

"yeah, I'm sorry about that sometimes I overreact, " he said quickly while rubbing his arm from the little pain from his hit. I was just about to accept his apology. When my stomach turned I leaned over in pain.
"Are you ok?" The real Nathan answered sitting beside me putting his arm around me. I pushed him away "no... I'm ok. Just... don't" I said weakly. His brother Josh backed away weirded out by my habits.

"are you on your period?" he asked dumbfoundedly. What really, after all, that's happened you think I'm on my period I thought when my thoughts were interrupted by the shifting that was occurring  I started to shake my inside felt like they were beginning to flip inside out I grunted in pain when my belly flip-flopped.

"That was the dumbest question you ever asked Josh" Nathan took the words right out oh my mouth. I couldn't respond or laugh because of how my insides felt. "Please not now" I whispered. "Are you changing?" his brother asked me. 

"No" I answered when everything suddenly stopped and my inside settled back down to normal.

"it was a false change" Nathan added and kissed my forehead. Hold on what the hell did he just say false change? You had to actually be a shifter to know that term which freaked me out even more and how he acted was so calmly about the news like he'd been around a shifter before?

"How did you know?" I moved to the end of my bed looking at him In shock waiting impatiently for his reply. 

"I didn't. I'd guessed" he answered quickly I stared at him for a long time still unsure about his answer then I moved back to my original spot beside him.

"Oh, okay" I took his word on it even though my instincts told me to be cautious. But he'd probably tell me his true reason when he was ready I thought to myself I scooted under Nathan he hugged me "Well school is tomorrow we'd better get going" he said looking at his watch and then kissing me goodbye letting him taste my cherry lipstick. I guess were still dating? I thought as I pulled away from his warm embrace and allowed him to leave from my bedroom. When I was sure that he had left my house I laid back on my cozy soft blue sheets and allowed my head to sink into its soft pillows and amazingly drifted off to sleep.
