I was a shape-shifter.
A damn shape-shifter.
I stood up, and walked around the cave, still cautious of my surroundings.
´Seriously, what did that mischievous human do?´
First of all, I am a shape-shifter.
Second, I need to know what the human did in order for me to ´transform´ or turn into.
Third, Kati is probably looking for me by now and I need her!
I then realized something and flashed back to when she told me about how she became a shape-shifter...
"Anyway, for your information, if your nails suddenly grew and healed, a special injection might have encountered your body at a very young age, and it might of erased your past memory...ever thought of that.. Carina?"
So, did that mean I got an injection when I was born?
Why did they inject me, did my parents know about this?
So many questions, yet in a messed up situation like this.
I heard her steps of high heels, appearing from the light from the torches across the wall.
"I want to pay her back...I really do."
Sierra...
"Oh, where has my manners gone?... I ripped your nails off and injected you to turn into a were-wolf, except it felt like nothing to you because you were asleep with a special needle....
your nails looked disgusting anyways.."
The nails. No way.
I glanced and started feeling pain faster and faster by the second.
"AGHH MY NAILS!!!"
I felt blood pouring out and didn´t even bother to take a peek at the rotted, broken nails which was covered in blood and just laid down on the ground.
I felt a tiny tug from my arm before, which caused me to feel it.
The needle Sierra put on me made me feel numb for a while, but it didn´t last for long...
Panic.
Pain.
ugh, such a horrible sight.
The most ugliest image of my fingers, I will never get that off my head.
I felt like screaming at her again... I still I always had to say: "Why?!"
She caused everything to happen.
If only I didn´t wake up so early...
If only I didn´t decide to have a jog...
If only I didn´t accept Kati´s phone call...
If only I didn´t encounter the ´fox lady´ and didn´t break my nails...
If only Kati hadn´t shown me the deep underground hole...
If only I didn´t exis-
´Carina, stop. Negativity won´t save you or help you in the situation you are currently in.´
I took a deep breath and just accepted the fact I´m still alive, after all I´ve been through, even especially my whole life.
