The Lost Mate

The Worst Possible Birthday Suprise...

"Stormy!!!"

I looked away from the drawing in my hand and towards the direction of the voice. My moms voice rung out again calling me in for supper. I gave one last look to my small drawing and start to pack my things away.

I sent my small haven one last longing look before I started back towards home.

I couldn't believe I was 18 today. It seemed just yesterday that I was starting kindergarten with my mom crying over me not wanting to let me go. Graduation was in a few short months then I was off to college.

College....it seemed do surreal. I wasn't gonna be coming home to my parents smiling face and hearing them ask me how my day was. All of this was going through my mind as I walked in through the back door of my home.

"Hey guys, I'm here," I hollared at them as I tossed my drawing book onto a near table.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGEL!!!" both my parent yelled as I came into the kitchen.

I smiled and came closer to look at the delicious piece of choclatety goodness my mother created. Before anything could be said my finger darted out and slid along the side of the cake. I popped it into my mouth savoring the amazingness that is named chocolate.

"Storm!!! Quit that! You haven't even had supper yet!," my mom scolded me as she took the cake from my view and set it on the counter. My dad just laughed and pulled me into one of his famous bear hugs. I wrapped my arms around his torso and buried my nose into his chest.

"Thank you dad," I whispered to him and let go.

"Your welcome honey, now let's go shut down. I'm starving," I laughed and flowed them into the kitchen.

After dinner we all went into the living room and sat on the couches. My mom leaned forward and set a small box on my knee. I gently picked it up and slid the ribbon and bow off. As I opened it I saw the light sparkle as it hit the most precious heart shaped locket. I looked back at my mother and father with tears in my eyes.

"I love it! Thank you so much!" I jumped up and gave the both a hug. When everything was said and done I told them good night and walked upstair to my room. Tomorrow was Monday and I had school.

I started to pick out a pair of shorts and an oversized shirt for bed when a wave of dizeness came over me. My hand grasped my dresser as I stumbled back. A wave of heat broke out over my body and sweat beaded on forehead. What's going on? I asked myself.

All of a sudden my body shuddered as it was wracked with pain. I fell to my knees as a scream tore through the room. My entire body was shaking from an invisible force. My blood boiling in my veins. I faintly heard my door slam open but was soon focused back on myself as I felt bones cracking and shifting in my body. Pain filled cries filled the room and my both tore itself apart.

When the pain finally stopped and the heat subsided I fell to the floor. I opened my eyes but quickly shut them again from the blurred images that swam through my brain. I heard my parents calling my name asking if I was ok.

I tried opening my eyes again and let them adjust. slowly I lifted my head and made eye contact with my mom. She had a scared look ok her face and went to touch me but her hand fell short. I went to stand up but found that I no longer had the strength. when I looked down at my body it wasn't what I had expected. Instead of my arms and legs I saw a body covered in dark fur. 4 legs protruded the mass of fur and twitched when I tried to move my "arm".

What the hell is going on? I asked myself. I looked up to my parents and tried to voice my question bit all that came out was a high pitched whimper. I instantly shut my mouth and looked towards my full length mirror.

The reflection that stared back at me were wide green eyes that I was used to. My eyes, but that was the only thing similar. the image of a giant blackish red wolf looked back to me. I stood up on shaky legs and approached the mirror. The wolf followed my movement until I came to a stop a foot away from the wall. This can't be happening. Nothing makes sense.

I looked to my parents and finally heard what my dad has been saying this entire time.

"Now calm down sweetie. You dont need to freak out we can help you." he told me in a soothing voice. Why was he talking to me like I was some crazy person with a gun??? I was a freaking wolf for crying out loud! This shouldn't even be possible!

Again I heard my dad talking to me. " Now I need you to picture yourself as human Stormy. just slowly imagine every detail you can." I did as commanded and slowly felt my body shift again. Pain shot through me but no where near as the amount from before. When I opened my eyes again my mother rushed forward and covered my nude body with my quilt.

With a shaking voice I looked between them, "what am I?"
