Black Panther

I need it...

 After the concert the guys insisted we go to a bar. I only agreed to go since I could carry them all back. I only drink when I'm with my old best friend Scarlett, so I basically shot them disapproving looks the whole time. When they were finished, none of them would move, so I placed Andy and Ashley on each of my shoulders, held C.C. and Jake upside down by their ankles and since Jinxx could still walk, I escorted him to the bus, taking a route near a wall, should he feel unsteady.

 Inside the bus, I placed each of the guys on the floor, and told them all to do what they wanted and to remember to take some water before sleeping, because I would 't care if they had a hangover. Saying this, I got changed, and fell asleep on my sofa, listening to the guys' dance party. I briefly remember something like a pillow being placed underneath my head, but I dismissed it and went back to sleep.

 I woke up in the morning, shaking and grouchy, but after I looked up at Andy, fast asleep, I felt softened. 'Andy... Why is my head on Andy's lap... THAT WAS NEVER A PILLOW!!!! That idiot! I could have seriously hurt him.' I checked what I could see, but there were no marks and he was still breathing, so I assumed I didn't flail. 'Strange, I always kick out in my sleep. Why is Andy not hurt?' I sat up, rubbing the sleep out my eyes.

 The second I sat up, I flopped back down. I was shaking and had a migraine, I couldn't think straight, and Andy's breathing was too loud and annoying. I googled my symptoms online and it came up with drug deprivation. Remembering my shifting was like I drug, I knew it meant I had to change, but I couldn't risk it with the guys around. What if they saw? What could I say to get me out of it?

 Suddenly, I couldn't feel anything, and my limbs felt like they weighed tons. This had happened before. Three times to be precise. I knew a new transformation was coming. Trying to summon up all my strength, I pulled myself off Andy, using the sofa and walls to steady myself. I headed in the general direction of the door, I knew it was coming, and I knew I would scream, I just couldn't let them see it happen. I had to jump across from the sofa to the door without anything to steady myself. I knew I didn't have another option, but the second I let go of the sofa, I collapsed on to my hands and knees.

 I felt the burning, slowly grow up my toes, to my feet, my legs and my chest, the pain was excruciating. In a matter of seconds, my body felt like it was on fire. I couldn't help but scream as my bones started to snap, shifting and reforming on the correct locations for the new creature I was to turn into. At my scream, Andy woke up and rushed to my side.

"Jo what's going... On..?" He said, watching what I felt was my skin tearing open to reveal a new layer of fur as the rest of the band ran in, eyes full of concern. 'I bet it's for Andy.' I thought through the pain. 'Why would they *gasp* ever be concerned, *cough* about me...' I thought. I felt the breaks in my bones, the feet, the knees, the arms, all the way to my face. I couldn't help but scream as spasms of pain wracked my body.

 Gasping for air, I closed my eyes, as my view became covered by those familiar black clouds, that always took away the pain...
