Sharp Claws And Sharp Words: An X-Men Fanfiction

Chapter Thirteen: Who said that dogs were man's best friend?!

Mira's P.O.V

I ran away from Sarah and found myself lost in the middle of the woods. And to make things more better, It may be one o'clock in the morning...

I didn't mean that in a sarcastic way. I love being in the woods in the middle of the night! (or really early in the morning)

I explore the new territory I have set foot on. I saw many predators at this time of night. I always found it fascinating how each animal has a similar or different way of catching the prey.

Speaking of prey...

*growl*

I'm so freakin' hungry....

I was so jealous of the predators around me, catching food in an easier wat than I did. But then again, they had a method to their capture while I'm here with two forms that will scare the prey away...

I look around and in an instant, then I saw an owl with a big fat mouse.

I could steal the prey from it... If I kill the bird in the process and eat it, I might not have a good time with that since I don't know what they taste like. Besides, I'm pretty sure it's not fat. It's just fluffy.

I lunge at the bird. I kill it with my large claws. then I steal the uneaten mouse.

Hold on, this isn't a mouse! This is a kitten!

An orange tabby kitten was in my hands, mewling with hunger and pain. Being the soft woman that I am, I decide to keep it. Even though I don't even have a shelter and food for myself! But let's just say that what if you find an abandoned baby in the woods. What would you do if that happened? Well, I already know that most people would do the opposite or at least put it in a place where it would be safe for now...

I held the baby animal in my hands and try to calm it down. The kitten stopped mewling. It slowly opened it's eyes to look at me. Then it curled back into a ball quickly, now wailing.

Jeez, why is it scared of me?

Oh wait, I haven't transformed in my human form yet.

I start to transform back and now I am not only human now. I am also naked.

I forgot that everytime I transform, the monster is really bigger than I am, so It rips all of my clothes off. At least the fur clothes the monster.

The kitten looks at me again and then started to calm down. Now I need to find some shelter or some food at least.

I spot two little furry rodents huddled inside a hole in a tree, being exposed to all animals who wish to eat it. Like me.

I inspect further to make sure that they wern't kittens. I was relieved that they were not kittens. They were squirrels.

I silently climb up the tree and snatched the two of the them and slit their throats with my nail. Even though I am a human, my nails can inflict damage like and kind of claw.

I climb down an grab the kitten that was waiting for me. Man I wish that the monster was not the only transformation I can go through. Because I could look like a kind if normal to the humans. Sure, I'll still be mistreated to humans, but at least I would look normal...

Then suddenly, I felt this immense pain all over my body. Why am I transforming?! I didn't want to transform into the monster!

After the pain of transformation had passed, I opened my eyes to see that I felt a little...small.

I try to look at my body, but all I could find or see for that matter, was my fur, my tail, an my four legs.

Wait, four legs?!

Does that mean that i'm a fox?!

I literally just jumped in joy. This is just awesome! Thank you, Jesus!

I turn my attention to the confused but happy kitten. It went over to me and started to rub on my leg and mewled like it was hungry.

Good thing I caught two squirrels.

I carry the two squirrels in my mouth with the young feline was following right beside me.

I wish that I could find a good shelter for the night though... Because that would be awesome.

After many miles of walking, the both of us decide to stop.

Even though we have no shelter, we have food. I guess that's all we need.

We both sit down and get settled in. Since we were both used to raw meat, I think this should be fine. I skin both of the squirrels and gave the kitten one of them. It seemed to enjoy it. Me on the other hand...

I kind of forgotten how to light a fire...
FFFFUUUUUUU-

I have to admit, being in this form is quite comfotable. I curled up after my meal was finished. When I was this close to falling asleep, I felt a small body curl up next to mine. Awww, forget dogs! Cats are now my version of man's best friend. But what should I call you? Hmm... I might need to think of one later.
