I gently unwrap the heap of blankets to find a small, blue-eyed, blonde-furred puppy. A cocker spaniel to be exact. I give it a sad smile. "Come on it's okay. I'm here and you are safe, that's all that matters." I pick the dog up and set her in my lap. "Come on morph back. I wanna talk to you." The young pup closes it's eyes. A small aura of light surrounds it's body. The face slowly shifts and shapes itself to look more human like. The body soon follows as the front paws gain hands and stretch out. The tail recedes and the ears turn into wavy, human hair. In my lap now sits a small seven-year-old with powers normal humans only dream about having. The truth is, she's not the only one.
