IF WE CLASH

Chapter25#: Not Camille Anymore.

They cheered. And then I stood.

Where did that come from.

They all gasped and backed away.
My hand went to my face.

"Where did that One from?" I aske in a whisper
"Go look in the mirror." Gordy said
"What? Why? Have I changed? I am old?" I aske fearful
"Please master, don't ask. For my words could not explain your transformation." Gordy said

Step by step I closeted my fears. Was I old? Had I grown? Would I still be youthful? Has my looks turned into ashes? And have been made a monster?

Closer I almost met the mirror.

But then, I came into view of myself. And my skin. It glowed. My lips were red. My eyes were green. My skin was glowing. I-- my dress had been expanded. My hair... My hair is So much longer. It's touches the ground when i walk.

"So... Come out... So live... Rejoice. For I have changed." I whispered touching my skin.

I didn't look like Camille anymore.

But I know I'm her.

My skin was a pale but a tan color. Maybe it was the glow.
I touched my cheek.
I screamed a scream.
And I,dropped to my knees. I panicked. I wanted to scream more. But instead Luke held me from behind. And he wiped away my tears. I was frightened . I was just fearful. I wasn't sure, what I was experiencing. Gordy said 'transformation' . So that is all I'm facing right now. I feel so strong, but I don't--Don't look like me anymore.

I look like a Snow White but different. Hairs longer. I have a glow. My lips are red but I'm not wearing makeup. I look so young and my eyes they're green.

"Gordy- what's wrong with me?" I asked

"All Tati masters change when bonded in marriage." Narco said walking on two panda feet holding a tiny Cain big enough for her panda paw.
"So I'm .... Upgraded?" I asked
"Yes. I like Call it final adulthood." She said

I looked around at everyone. They all huddled around looking bug eyed at me.
Luke helped me up and held me around the waist. I closed my eyes and put my face in his chest.
He rubbed my shoulder.
Something pulled at the bottom of my dress. I opened my eyes and looked down. Little Levi.

"Camille. Camille. Are you okay?" He aske his cute voice bringing a smile on my face.

I turned and got down on my knees, my dress all over the clean floor. And looked him in the eyes.

"I've honestly never been better." I said smiling
"Wow." He said and smiled showing hi tiny fangs." Your eyes sparkle when you smile." He said pointing.
"Do they?" I asked him
"Uhhuh!" He said excited

I picked him up. And held him.

"To early for babies." Jasper said." I haven't even had any yet." He said

Everyone laughed.

"For your information dearest bother, I'll have you know I hadn't even thought of a baby until now. And now that you have mentioned it,.... I do want a son." I said and smiled at Levi.
"Well at least wait four years." Austin said walking out of the Nursery.
"How do you feel Bother?" I asked him
"Uh.... Who are you?" He asked
"Camille." I said
"Um.. I think I know my twenty year old sister when I see her." Austin said
"I'll have you know-" I said and stopped myself
"Austin it's her. She transformed into her adulthood form." Jasper said
"Why?" Austin asked confused
"All Tati masters do when finally married." Narco said to him
"Married!? Your married Cam?" Austin said running over to ms
"Yes." I said
"Since when?!" He asked
"Um like fifteen minutes ago." I said
"No way."he said" where's your ring?" He asked
"Right here." I said and showed him
"Jeez! I missed it!" He said
"Oh your alright." I said and slapped his shoulder
"Well congratulations." He said
"We still haft to have the ceremony." I said and winked at him.
"I'm best man." Jasper said
"Then I guess I'm flower girl." Austin said
"Gordy picks who is who." I said" and frankly I think Levi should be flower girl. He is little enough." I said
"Eww! Yuck! I'm not a girl!" Levi said
"I stand corrected . You can be the Flower boy." I said standing in correction
He nodded satisfied.

How different I felt. How different I looked. My hair was so long so much blacker. My skin practically glowed.
Everyone still looked at me in silence as I looked at my self. I touched my Rosey cheek to test if it was fake.
Definitely, real.

I started coughing.

Cough!
Cough!

Luke came to help me. Standing confused like. Not knowing what to do. I held my hand up to let him know I was fine but the coughs kept coming.

Cough!
Cough!

Luke bring me some water and I took a drink. Drinking it all.
I cleared my throat.

"Better?" Luke asked
"Yes-" I said stopping short

My voice.. It's changed too.
I didn't know wether to cry or cheer.
Would my mother remember me?
Could I pull off a lie so easily to deceive her? I know she's believe me when I saw her. When I spoke to her. When I touched her. When she touched me.

"You okay?" Levi asked looked up at me with his tiny finer in his mouth. 
"Yes.. I suppose." I said my voice was a lot more sweeter now and much softer.

He smiled.

"Everyone we need to..." I paused forgetting my words over other thoughts..
"Prepare for the wedding?" Austin asked.
"No." I said

My mind seemed to work faster .

"Huh?" Austin asked confused
"The battle. We can't have a wedding and stress over loose dangerous vampires. Think if we had the wedding before and all a sudden your child come up missing...." I said looking at Levi

I heard people gasp.

"Right away."  Gordy said determined
"Gordy, no ones to makes a move unless I know. And let me in on the meetings. Im in this too." I said
"Master.... Yes ma'am." Gordy said

I turned with my mind busy and started slowly up the stairs looking down.

A wedding and a fight... Danger yet glory.
Strategy is what I need.

All the while I kept thinking I'm not Camille anymore. But I am . Im just.... Grown up...  Or rather transformed.
