Once I stopped screaming, I ran into town, getting panicked looks from civilians. One screamed, two fainted, and one woman called out in terror.
I managed to find my way to a fountain in a park. I managed to wash off some of the blood on me. As I washed myself off the water in the fountain went from a clear blue to a deep, crimson red. Many questions and thoughts ran through my head: what happened last night? What is this place? Is this my blood? Why can'tI remember anything about last night?
As these thoughts ran through my head, a girl, about 16 in Frankenstein boots, long black dress, and a plaid skirt, with long hair in pig tails was speaking with a boy about the same age, but wearing a long sleeved hoodie with a patchwork design, a head band that said "Soul Eater", red eyes, and teeth that were at a point, like a shark mouth.
"It's weird that we found a Kishin Egg so close to the city. There was no one in sight and huge paw prints, too.," said the girl "Who cares? Finders keepers. That's just one more Kishin Egg in the bank, and one more to my goal of the honor of Death Scythe," the boy said with his hands behind his head. Then the girl turned to me and noticed me getting blood off my clothes. Her eyes widened in surprise as she may have put two and two together. They both came to me.
"Excuse me." Said the girl, "Do you know where you were last night?" "Maka?" Said the boy, referring to the girl, "what are you doing?" "Quiet, Soul. This man needs to explain himself" Maka said to the boy, Soul.
I said, "I... I can't remember. One minute in front of the city, then I was about to be mugged. Next thing I know, it's morning and I'm covered in blood"
Soul sniffed me. No, not me. He was sniffing the blood on me. "Still fresh, maybe a few hours old. What ever happened to you, you did something bad." He then held his left arm out and it began to glow. A split second later it was a curved blade with red as the bevel (the part where the metal is thinned out). I realized his arm turned into a Scythe blade. And it was pointed at my throat.
Maka grabbed his other arm, "easy, Soul." She looked at me with a glare. "If you know what's good for you, you'll come with us." I quickly nod and go with them to a huge complex with spikes, giant lit candles, and three huge floating orbs. "What is this place?" I asked.
They ignored me and lead me inside, past numerous hallways, rooms, and boards. We kept going until we got to a series of archways similar in design to gates in Japan, but with a guillotine blade at the top. We then head into a spacious rooms with strange crosses in the ground everywhere. Besides that the only thing in the room was a pedestal with a black chair and a mirror behind it. The chair was about ten feet tall, all black with lots of spikes over it.
"Lord Death, we have someone who committed a crime of killing a man" said Maka. Then the chair turned around and it wasn't a chair, it was a figure with a white mask. Two giant hands popped out and made the peace sign.
"What's up?," said the figure in a high pitched voice that almost made me laugh. "Oh my. You seem to have brought a guest. I should have put out snacks," He said.
"Lord Death, please. He clearly killed someone." Said Maka. "Oh fine. Let me take a look," Death said as he looked at me with blank eyes. He seemed to have been looking beneath my exterior and into my soul.
"Ah, I see. You did not kill anyone. However, you did at the same time." Death said, confusing all of us.
"Let me explain. You yourself did not murder anyone last night, yet you altered your form and killed that man. I'll show you." Death said as he turned to his mirror as an image came through.

It seemed to have been a recording of sorts of last night. I was at the entrance of the city when the man came behind me with that sword.
I learned that I did not black out, but I lost consciousness and transformed into something.... inhuman. Once I blacked out, I grew an abundance of black and red fur, my face elongated and my teeth grew sharp. The man backed away, his eyes full of fear and confusion as I continue to turn. From the base of my spine grew six long tails, each about six feet long and seemed to move on their own, my hands and feet grew sharp claws and turned into paws, my clothes turned into the fur I mentioned earlier.

I watched on in horror I began to howl like a wolf mixed with a monster. The man started to run away, but this... Beast jumped on him so fast that you would missed it if you blinked, and that is no exaggeration. We all stared on in terror as the monster had the man to the ground, trying to fight back by swinging his sword on the monster's fur, which quickly shattered, leaving the monster without a scratch. Then it started to devour him. I could see in perfect detail as I saw the monster bite his arm off, tendons ripping apart as it tore off the man's arm and ate it. Then it moved onto his internal organs, clawing open his abdominal region and dug into his guts, the man screaming in pain and fear until he bled out and died.
But the monster kept going until nothing was left except a large pool of blood and a glowing red orb, which I assumed was a Kishin Egg. Then the monster slept at the entrance to the city until morning.
The scariest part was that that monster..... was me.
