Eye Of The Cat

Chapter 8

"Thanks again," I thanked him again, as he parked in fort of the hospital.

"No problem," he said with a smile. I opened the door and stepped out onto the pavement. I waited for him to drive away before stepping into the hospital, and walked up to the front desk. A lady with brown hair and blue eyes with glasses, is sitting behind the desk typing away at her keyboard. She stoped and looked up at me.

"Can I help you?" She asked in a anoyed tone.

"I want to see Clara Read, can you tell me the number of her room?" I asked ignoring her tone.

"Only family is aloud to visit," she said. "Are you family?"

"No but I'm her best friend," I said. She shook her head.

"If your are not family you cannot visit," she repeated. I clenched my hands, getting mad.

"What room is she in?" I asked clenching my teeth.

"You are not allowed to go in," she said.

"Tell me!" I growled. She flinched and her eyes filled with fear. She nodded quickly and typed on the keyboard. She looked back up at me.

"Room 208 A," she said and pointed in the direction it is in. Instead of saying thanks I just walked down a hall way in the direction she pointed. There are doors on each side of the wall with numbers on them. I found the door with the number 208 A on it. I took a deep breath and opened the door and stepped in. It looks like a normal hospital room. Then I spotted Cindy lying in the bed with tubs attached to her. She looks like she is sleeping, but I know she's not. I walked slowly to her and sat down on the seat beside her. The heart line thing is beeping normally. I looked at her.

"Why did you have to crash the car and go into a comma?" I murmured to myself, not expecting a answer. Then all of a sudden the on the heat beat thing the line showing her heart line went dead flat and there is a long beep. I jumped up in panic and leaned over her.

"Someone help!" I yelled in panic. I put my hands on her shoulders, then all of a sudden it felt like electricity went through me to my hands. Then the electricity whent into Cindy. She flinched and the heart line whent back to normal. I jumped back in surprise. I looked at my hands and slowly walked backwards. Nurses rushed in, not even seeing me. I turned around and ran out. I walked quickly out of the hospital.

"What the heck just happened?" I growled in frustration and confusion. Maby I should go to school to get my mind off everything, I might as well. I got out my phone and texted my mom that I'm going to school, she will probably be happy that I am.

I started walking down the road, passing stores and cars. Because it's such a small town thay I live in I practically walk everywhere, I do like to drive my Impala though. I guess I have to walk everywhere now because the Impala is wreaked.

Twenty minutes later I arived at school. I whent into the office and signed in. I was just walked out of the office when the bell rang for the next class. I jumped in surprise and ran to my locker to get my albergra book, I have albergra now. I quickly walked to the class just as it was starting.

"Here you are, Selene, sit down quickly," the albergra teacher, Ms. B said sharply. I stoped myself form growing, just. I walked through the ails, students looked at me with curios and confused looks. I glared at them and they looked away. I walked to the back of the class and sat down at one of the empty desks. She started the lesson and I instantly got board.

I started shifting in my seat, tapping my fingers against the desk, making a big noise like a kid with ADHD. Some students glared at me and I snarled at them. I can't even consentrate my energy levels are so high. I looked out the windows at the forest, that just made it worse. I need to run, get out of here plane and symple. I clenched my hands. Ms. B's voice is drowned out and I can't focus. I clenched the wooden sides of the desk, hard.

Then the wood underneath my hands broke and shattered. I got up quickly and stepped back. Everyone is staring at me in shock, I can't blame them. I need to go. Ms. B said something but I didn't bother to pay attention. I ran out of the class room and down the hall. I ran at full speed and my head ache slowly started to fade. I ran out of the school and into the forest. I continued running, dodging trees and jumping logs. The sweat smell of the forest hit my nose.

I ran for I think a hour when I acually started to sweat. I stoped beside a small pond. The crickets chearped. I paced, panting. I growled in frustration. Running didn't even put a dent in my energy. What the hell is wrong with me?

I heard myself let out a inhumane scream and I fell to the ground on my knees. My spine curved forward unaturally, I breathed hard and fast. I clawed at the ground and let out another scream. I can't take the pain that is running through me.

I heard bones cracking and my bones rubbing up against each other as my body shifted unaturally. I felt my head grow longer and heavyer. Dark hair grew from my skin.

It felt like hours opon hours passed before the ingratiating pain stoped and I blacked out...

I opened my eyes, all of the pain is gone, I got up. For the first time I'm calm, relaxed. All of the stress, gone. I got up. I fell different, my center of gravity seems to be closer to the ground. I fell increadably strong and my nose picked up smells I have never smelled before. My ears picked up every tiny noise in the forest.

I looked around my vision is longer and narrower. It's like I'm looking at a wide screen tv instead of a full screen.

I looked down at my feet expecting there to be feet but instead there are black paws. What happened to me? I thought. I started walking forward, expecting it to be hard to walk on four feet. But it's like it is the most easiest thing in the world.

I walked up to the water of the pond and looked at my reflection. Instead of my reflection there is a long and narrow black wild cat's head with a white four pointed star, aparently my head. I turned my big head around to look at my body. My body is looks like that of a black panther exept it has the structure of a leopard. My fur has a blur tint to it.

My long black tail swished back and fourth. I'm a panther, or at least I think I am.
