Heaven

5) Shift

P.O.V Katherine
I stood up, deciding it was time to do it. I took the knife and positioned it in front of my heart.
So this is it, knowing that I am soon to be reunited with my family, I should be excited but my gut disagreed the second time today. Something in my head told me that I shouldn't be doing this, that my life shouldn't end like this.

I closed my eyes anyways and tried to remember how much I wanted this, how much I needed to be with my family.

And with that thought, I took a swing with both of my hands around the knife, ready to end this hell that I called my life but suddenly I heard the loudest growl that I have ever heard. It was so loud that it made the ground shake a bit.

A big majestic wolf that was as big as myself, jumped out of the bushes that were in front of me and snarled its big teeth at ....my knife ? Shouldn't it be attacki......

Suddenly a wave of strong pain in my brain started out of nowhere and I let go of the knife in my hand and put both of them on my head and closed my eyes, where warm tears wanted to escape so badly. I wanted to scream but I couldn't even move my mouth.

I remembered how I got angry so fast and how I wanted to just run away and let the anger out. It was the same now but just for different reasons. Now it was like something in my brain wanted to go out because I felt all these emotions at once like happiness, neediness, sadness, excitement and so many more. Something wanted to escape my body. I wanted to escape my body, I thought, which was so crazy to think considering that I AM my body.

I fell to the ground with my knees forward and my hands on the green gras. I opened my eyes and let the tears run down my face. I saw, through my blurry vision, the wolf slowly approaching me and I couldn't move away because I was in so much pain.

It closed the distance between us more and more, until its snout was so close to my now sweaty face, that I felt it breathing out the warm air. And suddenly it rubbed its snout on the side of my pain expressed face. As if it's trying to comfort me.

As I felt its touch, I immediately got warmer to the point where it wasn't bearable anymore. It almost felt like I was burning from the inside and I fell completely to the ground.

I heard the wolf whimper but my loud scream cut it very fast. And the reason why I was in so much more agony and pain than before was because a bone of mine broke with a loud crack.

I couldn't really feel which bone it was as I was a bit busy with dealing with the pain I was literally being consumed of. But it didn't really matter as after the first bone was broken it didn't stop there. I screamed again as another bone broke and shortly after that another one and it continued till every single bone in my body was broken.

During this painful torture, I opened my eyes for a few seconds, because I had them closed all the time I just wanted to know if the wolf was still there and in the corner of my eyes I saw that the wolf was indeed still there and sat near me with its, what looked like, worried eyes never leaving my transforming body.

At least it felt like transforming. I couldn't know that as I closed my eyes the entire time.

After what felt like hours of pain it stopped. Just like that. I opened my eyes and gasped, well planned to, but it never came out. Instead, an animalistic snarl replaced it.

What in actual heavens is happening ?
