I awoke to nothing but pure silence. The boys left me alone, seeing how I was tired, and not totally feeling too well. I yawned as I stretched, then opened my eyes in confusion. I ended up seeing everything perfectly, but there was one problem, I couldn't see in color. Absolutely everything was grey, white and black. The darkness of the room made everything darker, and the light through the window was brighter than ever. I squinted in confusion, looking around the room. I didn't know what was going on at this point, but I knew that I would eventually get sick. "Why do I not see colors?" I thought to myself as I whimpered. I was starting to act like a dog now, which was strange. "Was this what Reiji was talking about by might getting worse?" I thought to myself as I viewed the wall next to me. I looked at the door, as a knock came from the other side. "Kitten, you up?" Kou asked from the other side of the door, his voice a little muffled by it. I sat up in bed as I spoke. "Yep" I said as I sat on the end of my bed. Kou walked in as he smiled at me. "How you feeling?" he said as he looked at me. I rubbed my eyes as I answered. "Good." I huffed as he made himself comfortable next to me. He huffed as he folded his hands, and leaned to rest his arms on his knees. Instantly, he smelt like cooked ham. The smell was faint, but it was strong enough that I could identify it. It was defiantly ham, a nice smoked, honey ham, with pineapples cooked at the top. The scent was drifting off him, towards my direction, making me a little hungry. I licked my lips as my stomach growled loudly."Kou, you smell good" I said as I turned towards him. He looked at me bug eyed in confusion. His eyes grew not really scared, but worried on what will happen next. "I what?" he asked, confused. He didn't understand either what I said, or why I said it. I didn't realize I said it myself until he said something about the comment. He scooted away from me, as he faced me more. I stared at him as the scent filled my nose more, making me hungry.I pushed him on the bed, as I sniffed more, smelling ham again. He struggled trying to get me off him, trying to push me off, but it didn't work. I ended up grabbing his wrists and pinned him down to the bed, as I continued. he couldn't lift up, even though he tried so hard to.
His eyes bulged out of his head in shock. "Lilly, what are you doing?" he asked, a little bit of fear ran through his voice. I looked at him in shock as I backed off him. His eyes were huge and his mouth hung wide open. He was shocked about what happened, and what I was going to do next. He backed away as he continued to stair at me. "Sorry, did I get too personal?" I asked, not knowing myself what just happened. Kou didn't answer, just looked at me in confusion. "You" he said, in shock. He was looking like he just seen a bear or something. Afraid, and not ready to be killed by the thing. "You, just sniffed me" he said, still in shock. I squinted in confusion. "No I didn't" I said, thinking it was one of his pranks. I got up as I stretched, and growled instead of moaning. I looked at Kou as he continued to stare. "What?" I asked now getting aggravated. "Nothing" he said as he got up, and walked out of the room.
I yawned as I got ready for the day and headed down to breakfast. I got to the kitchen, as I heard the four of them talking about something. "She what?" Yuma asked, as the room went silent again. I didn't walk in, I just sat down on the floor and listened to the boys conversation. Kou cleared his voice. "Yeah, she got up and started smelling me, just like a dog" Kou explained. A chair move from in the room. I sat on the floor against the wall as I listened. I pulled my knees against my chest as I rested my head down on it. Both Kou and Yuma were bickering back and forth by the situation. Finally a chair moved as someone stood up. "Boys, all we know that she's sick, and getting worse" Ruki's voice spoke up with. He cleared his throat, as he sat back down at the table. "Now, is that everything we know? I'm supposed to update Reiji on it" Ruki said, as a pen clicked and started scribbling. I put it together that he was making notes on the conversation.
The room was silent again. I took this moment to take in everything that the boys had said. About the way Kou explained what happened this morning and their reaction on it. I sat there as I thought to myself. "It's true, I am turning to a wolf" I thought. I focused back on the conversation as I heard movement and a chair squeak. "Well, what about the dream she had?" Yuma spoke up with. I lifted my head up as I shifted my attention towards the conversation. Ruki cleared his throat. "What dream?" he said, as it sounded like he was getting into the conversation more. Yuma huffed before speaking. "She had this dream, I think it was two nights ago. She was getting worse with acting like a animal and then told us to kill her. I guess it ended with her dying in the end or something worse" Yuma explained. I sat there and thought about the dream again. I didn't want to kill anyone, especially my brothers. I huffed as I got up and walked far enough for them to not hear, then I ran to my room.
Once I got to my room, I ran in and slammed the door shut. I pressed my back up against the door as I slid down it, until I sat on the floor. I placed my head back as it started to hurt again. The pounding was getting stronger as I sat. I closed my eyes, as I growled in pain, thinking about the conversation that the boys were talking about. I looked at my hand as I moved it up then down. When it came back down, claws appeared out of my fingertips. They were long enough that when I made a fist, then ends touched my wrist. My eyes widened as I looked at the long daggers at the ends of my fingers. They were white to the point where they were clear, with red starting to grow up them, staining them permanently. I thought about what was happening since I woke up. "First, my smell get's stronger, then this?" I said to myself through tears. I licked my lips as I put my claws back in my fingers, as it hit me. I'm slowly gaining the abilities of a wolf. I took the knowledge to think about it. My eyes widened when something came to me. "My nightmare's coming true" I said to myself as a tear flown down my cheek. "Next thing, I'll kill everyone" I said as I got up and went to my desk.
I took out a pen and peace of paper and wrote a little note to the boys. Once I was done, I put the paper, folded it and put it on the nightstand in my room. Finally I snuck out of my room, heading down the stares. I got to the entrance of the door, when I opened it, and their conversation stopped. "Where you going Lilly?" Kou asked, as he leaned back in his chair. I turned around as I put a fake smile on my face. "I'm just going for a walk, I don't know when I'll be back" I said as I opened up the door. "Ok, be safe" Kou said as they went back to their conversation. I nodded then closed the door, heading out for my walk.
