Special | Colby Brock

Courtney's POV

Colby yells in pain while yanking his hand back.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" He yells as he holds his cut hand against his chest.

I drop the knife and walk over to him slowly.

"It's the only way I can show you. Can I see your hand? Please?" I ask quietly

He slowly holds his hand out and I grab it with both of my hands. I close my eyes and feel a familiar warmth spread throughout my palms.

I hear a gasp but keep my eyes shut until the warmth leaves my hands. I open my eyes and see him looking at his now healed hand in awe.

He slowly looks up at me.

"How?" Is all he asks.

"I don't know. I just can I guess." I reply shyly while looking at the floor.

"So what else can you shapeshift into?" He asks curiously.

"Anything you can dream of." I say while smiling slightly. I pulled out my phone to check the time.

12:38 A.M.

"Crap! I gotta go. I should have been home a half hour ago!" I exclaim as I run towards the window and slide it open. I sit on the ledge and jump out, changing into a hawk on the way down. I land on my clothes and close my talons on them then take of towards my house. I turn my head and see Colby watching me out the window.

*******************************************

I land in the bushes behind my house and change back, quickly slipping my clothes back on. I walk around to the front of my house and walk in the door.

"You were supposed to be home forty five minutes ago..." my mom says as she looks up from her book.

"I know. On my way home, some guy tried to jump me in the alley but I got lucky when Colby walked by. He attacked the guy and brought me to his house to make sure I was ok and we started talking and lost track of time." I explain quickly.

"Well I'm just happy your home safe. Now get to bed." My mom replies.

"Night. Love you. See you in the morning!" I shout as I run downstairs to my room.

"Love you too." My mom says as she gets out of the chair.

*PING*

Who would be texting me at this time?

I pull out my phone and see an unknown number on the screen.

Did you make it home safe?

-Who is this?

It's Colby...

-How did you get my number?

From Anna

-Oh ok. I made it home just fine by the way

Ok good

-Why do you care anyways?

I do have a heart, believe it or not

-That's surprising

Ouch😕

I laugh at his reply as I plug my phone into the wall and turn on my alarm for school tomorrow.

-Kidding! Lol

You're brutal Curt

-Call me that one more time and I will come back to your house and make sure you will never have children

😂😂I'll take my chances

-Well imma go to bed now. Night loser

Night Curtis

I roll my eyes and turn off my light from the comfort of my bed. I then close my eyes and fall asleep.
