39.Find Out Now!

Dr. Jason was already there, changing the bandages. “James, I'm glad you're here. Can you tell King to calm down? I can't re-wrap his legs with his wiggling,” he asked as he tried again.

“Sure,” I replied in English before I roared, “Calm down, my friend. Dr. Jason needs to wrap your legs; so they can heal.”

“How can you talk to me?” King hissed.

“Can I change?” I asked as I glanced at Dr. Jason.

“No!” Dr. Jason ordered.

“He won't let you put the bandages on until he knows why I can talk to him,” I snapped.

“Sorry James, but no. You can tell him,” Dr. Jason declared sternly.

“Remember the lion that was with you earlier,” I mewed and King nodded. “Well, I am him.”

“Show me,” King commanded.

“I need to change!” I shouted at Dr. Jason.

“No!” Dr. Jason declared and I got furious, making myself change. “Oh great!”

“See,” I hissed to King. “Now be calm and let my friend help you.”

“Alright,” King growled as he held still and Dr. Jason finally finished wrapping King's legs.

“James, come into the house please,” Dr. Jason commanded and I followed him. I sat patiently on the floor as he yelled at me, “James, I told you no!”

I walked over the rock in the room and etched, 'I didn't mean to, I got mad.'

“Well, can you change out of it?” he asked curious and I wished to be human, but nothing happened; so I shook my head. “Too bad.”

I etched on the rock, 'How much time until I will be a lion forever?' I was starting to regret wanting to stay a lion. I couldn't speak to anyone and I had to scratch on rock to get anything told.

“I don't know, but don't worry about it,” he answered as he stared at the rock.

'Find out now!' I scratched as I hissed.

“Fine. JOHN!” he yelled and his twin rushed into the room.

“Yes?” John asked as he glanced at me.

“When will our lion friend be stuck as a pussy cat?” Dr. Jason asked as he shook his head towards me.

“Soon, but if I have to guess. I would say a month or two, but if he keeps changing; then it could be a week,” John answered as I hanged my head ashamed. How could I let it come to a week? Anna was right I was just wasting my time to spend with everyone, while I could.

“I think our friend should sleep outside tonight,” Dr. Jason suggested.

“Yes, but hold on. I'll be right back,” John agreed before he went to receive a collar and a leash. I backed away, growling. “James, it is a regular collar. I promise,” he laughed and I came closer, allowing him to put it on me. He attached the leash to it and walked me like a stupid canine to the barn. He put me in the stall farthest from King; then he locked the stall and left. I curled up in the grass and fell asleep.
