Lyric's P.O.V.

It's still morning, I'd say around 10:00. I have been waiting for six long years alone in this tower. I wanted out. Out of this place that has kept me prisoner, out of the place where I have been stranded since I was a child, out of this place that I couldn't escape from. I've tried so many times to get out, but the witch sealed the doors using a spell that will disappear tonight, after I find out who I really am. I feel desperate now, hoping that her promise of freedom was true, that her promise of a life outside of this palace was true, that her promise of love was true.

I sat on my bed and waited, after a while, I went to the window. I couldn't stop my mind from wandering.

All of a sudden, I felt pain shoot through my body. I cried out in agony as I crumbled and landed on the ground. The pain lasted for only minutes but it felt like hours. My legs started to crack and turn at odd angles, my arms followed suit. My back then arched and I felt tingling all over my body.

When the pain finally subsided, I tried to stand. I realized that I was shorter now and that I had to crawl, unable to stand on my back legs for some reason. I crawled to the full length mirror by my bed and was scared out of my mind. What I saw staring back at myself was not human, it was an animal. A wolf.
