The Hybrid's Sons

Chapter Five

I love fall, it's my favorite time of the year. I wish all year, it was like fall, but then the world would be repetitive. Everything is always the same. Currently, I think that is also what my life is like. Everyday is the same, wake up, choke down breakfast, either got to school or hide in my room, barely touch my dinner, and then hide in my room again. I feel as if I've lost the close connection I had with my family, a connection I'm not sure I will ever be able to get back again in this lifetime.

I realize I have once again drawn a picture of Finn and I. It's a picture of us sitting beneath tree, with leaves falling from the branches. The faces are still gone, but the way our limbs are tangled togetger, would indicate that we love eachother, enough to be like this in the open. I can almost imagine it now, the feeling of his slightly larger muscles against my leaner body.

"Fitz, I wanna come in! Let me in!" My happy thoughts are cut of once again by the voice of the devil.

"Leave me alone Laney, go bother someone else, I'm not in the mood today." I growl through the door as I stomp around the room getting ready for the one thing every teenager dreads Monday morning.

School.

"Pwease let me in! I'll tell Daddy if you don't." I roll my eyes before walking to my door. I pound on it once, smirking when I hear Laney scream from being frightened, before running away yelling 'Daddy'.

I roll my eyes again and go back to get ready for my day, now that my peace has been broken, I don't think I'll be able to retrieve it today, maybe tomorrow I can think and dream about a future where I'm happy with Finn.

"Fitz, what's this I'm hearing about you being rude to your sister!? How many times do I have to tell you she is younger then you and that you have to be nicer to her. She just wants to hang out with her older brother who she adores and looks up to." Daddy said as he barges through my door and into my room.

I hold back the feeling to shift as it almost consumes me. I don't like the idea of anyone barging into my room, everyone knows that, but Daddy seems to have forgotten with the fact that he is angry.

"She loves you, Fitz, and I realize you are going through a tough time right now, but that doesn't mean you can be a d*ck to everyone else." Daddy huffs a final time before walking away.

I shake my head to hopefully get the hair sprouting on my face to go away, but it only grows longer.

The next few minutes are painful. It's not normal to try and hold yourself back while shifting. It's suppose to be a natural thing, and the fact that I have spent so much time and energy holding it back, is harmful to me, and Zambian.

Finally I let my body submit to Zambian, and I'm suddenly on four feet.

Zambian paces back and forth in my room, his nails clicking and clicking for every step he takes. I can hear his thoughts, he wants to run out of this room and attack all who have ever done me wrong. He wants me to stand up for myself. He wants Finn ans Mavian. He growls about how they are his and that it isn't right that he is with a different girl every other night. How he should have saved himself for us.

I try and calm him down, but nothing works, and he slowly wins. He leads us out of the room amd down the stairs. He sniffs out ths scents and smells everyone in the kitchen, where everyone usually is at breakfast time.

He slithered down the stairs as if he is a panther and not a lion, his thick mane hitting the walls as we walk down the stairs and into the kitchen.

Dad is the first one to see me, and he shoots out of his seat before giving Laney to Papa and they both run out of the room.

"Fitz, calm down. You need to take control of Zambian and let yourself shift back. You don't want to hurt anyone, please!" Dad begs as I slowly walk closer to him, Daddy, Papi, and Finn. I snarl quietly at him before sitring down at me haunches. I fight against Zambian with all I have.

I stare them all down for what seems like hours, but can only be close to a few minutes before I feel myself beginning to shift. While the hair receeds from my body, so does my conscious as I fall back into the floor and everything turns black.
