Dream Upon a Rose

Dream part nine

"Um, your welcome."

Derek's cheeks turned red. "That is what everyone says...I know that isn't why you came back Derek."  Hazel projected her voice so Derek could hear her clearly. "I had a dream about you...I had met my true love and his face turned into yours.  It was evil-like."  She finished.

Derek red-faced face turned heated and stormy.  "You think I came for another reason?"  he challenged, his arms gesturing a threat. 

"Yes."

Derek tapped his foot and let his bad temper get the better of him.  He scowled and narrowed his eyes.  A beastly look returned to his green eyes.  He shook his head furiously and the look vanished.  Hazel was puzzled.  Couldn't he control the way he looks at people?  "Derek, is everything okay?" 

"...just don't get to close."  he warned.

"Why?"

"Hazel, the reason I left is because I have an evil inside me.  And it's something I cannot control."

Hazel's eyes were filled with worry.  "Wha- what to you mean?" 

"Stand back."  he alerted.

Hazel took a few steps back and watched carefully.  Derek flexed his muscles and screamed a piercing yell.  His eyes turned a black color and his skin turned grey.  The expression on his face made Hazel wonder if he was dying or was in terrible pain.  Derek shouted to the sky as loud as he could as hair grew all over him.  A long snout appeared to take the place of his nose and a tail where his tail-bone was.  Then, he was a monster.  Not a were-wolf, not a hulk, not any animal.  Just a monster.  His black eyes were fiery.  His long, hairy body slithered like a snake when he walked on his four legs and his snout sniffed like a rat would.  But you could still see his face hidden in all the hair.

Hazel's face was horrified, shocked and disgusted.  Derek snarled, his blade of teeth showing.  Hazel knew she wouldn't get hurt though, because of her power.
