WEREMPIRE?

GAIL POV

"Terra."

*Cricket Sounds*

"Uhm. . . did I miss something?, Terra shouldn't there be-" I am halfway through my question when a tingling sensation erupts all over my body, the light sizzle that felt like a light electric shock travels through my channels awakening my body. A second later, I feel my ears stretch , followed by my teeth which now feel a bit elongated. I quickly lift my hands up before my eyes and fully concentrate on them, watching as my fingers stretch and develop white long nails.

"Oh my Goddass Terra! What kind of witchcraft is this?! This is cool yet at the same time nerving. How are we able to do this? This is creepy and weird but strangely feels so good.Were we always like this? like. . .Is it part of my DNA ? were you ever going to tell me that we can actually do something this. . .this. . .uhm. . .creepy?" I ask Terra while I continue to carefully examine my hands that are now covered by light white hairs that seem to shimmer every time I turn them in a twisting motion, observing my now bleached palm that looks paler than a vampires.

"YOU WOULD HAVE EVENTUALLY DISCOVERED EVERYTHING YOURSELF. I ONLY ALLOWED YOU TO TAP INTO SOME OF YOUR HIDDEN TALENTS BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO SURVIVE. I NEEDED YOUR PHYSICAL, OUR PHYSICAL BODY TO SURVIVE. THE ATTACK YOU SUFFERED WOULD HAVE HONESTLY LEFT YOU AS A CRIPPLE OR IF THAT BOY HADN'T FOUND US. . . YOUR PHYSICAL FORM WOULD HAVE NOT SURVIVED ." Terra replies, his tone filled with remorse. He shouldn't blame himself for not being able to help me at the time. Even I didn't see it coming. I would have shifted and ran if they didn't corner me, but Liam will definitely pay for this. He thought he was going to leave me buried forever but he didn't know that instead he saw a seed of aconitum, the next time he even tries to get close to me, his mother will be signing a death certificate the next day.

"Well this is much more than anything I have ever imagined.If there is more then I hope to be prepared when that day comes." I say to Terra while walking towards the bathroom in order to take a full view of the new creature I have become. Closing my eyes, I walk with my hands outstretched in front of me , using them as a guide to my bathroom. I want to have a solo special reveal. After my slightly hairy hands with their elongated nails have safely brought my feet to the soft tiles of my en-suite bathroom, I turn to face the other way where I know the mirror is not located and count to three before I face my form..this is exciting!.

"3,2,1-"

"Ahhhhh…. Ahhhhh….Ahhhhh!. Terra what is this!? I thought I would look cute but what is this ? What am I ? What the hell did I become?!" I say while taking a closer look at my distorted image.

"WELL. I THINK YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL ." Terra responds monotonously .

"Terra, if I shifted and anyone saw me looking like this they might think I am a hairy vampire who got stuck while trying to change into a fucking bat! Only except I would be also mistaken for an old vampire who is trying to commit suicide by starving themself of blood!. My face is paler than white paper and why the hell am I glowing? And Did my hair just get slightly lighter too? I don't look anything like a wolf. I don't even think my werewolf form will turn out this weird. I am a hairy human with long wolf ears and weird vampire like pointy teeth who just happens to have a glowing gold ring around their blue eyes. This is crazy, I hope we don't try to do this again with anyone present. I would be put on a stake or grilled alive if anyone from the council saw me like thi-"

"FIRST OF ALL WE ARE A BEAUTIFUL CREATION.SECONDLY THE GLOW WILL EVENTUALLY FADE. SLIGHTLY. THIRDLY YOU ARE NOT A VAMPIRE BUT WE COME FROM A PEOPLE WHO MIGHT HAVE AT SOME POINT DRANK BLOOD OF THEIR OWN OFFSPRING OR SIBLINGS TO GAIN POWER . BUT THAT IS A STORY FOR ANOTHER DAY, NOW YOU NEED TO FOCUS ON PROPERLY HEALING. " Terra responds monotonously cutting my outburst and sounding nonchalant as if he didn't just drop a bomb on me.

"Did you just say your ancestors were demons?" I ask Terra after regaining my composure that recently seems to just shatter every time he opens his mouth, leaving me with more questions and maybe just a tiny bit of fear. No one can muster the courage to face a side of themselves that could send most wolves crazy, well except for the Alphas's son, I heard he is the type to invite himself to a demon's party.

"NOW YOU ARE JUST EXAGGERATING " He says and I can feel him roll his eyes, instead of talking I wait for him to go on.

"THEY WERE NOT DEMONS. THEY WERE STUPID. THE RITUALS NEVER WORKED AND YOUR FATHER . NO WAIT. . . . I SEE WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO. I WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING UNTIL THE TIME IS RIGHT. THEN YOU WILL BELIEVE ME AND I WONT HAVE TO WAIT FOR YEARS FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND.DON'T TRY TO MAKE ME SAY IT, LEST YOU WANT ME TO NEVER TALK TO YOU AGAIN. " Terra says in a scolding tone that seeks no argument.

"Well. At least they were not Demons" I say while poking at the sharp teeth that replaced my normally onyx ones.I will not push him further, whats the worst that can happen anyway? Being anything but what I currently am sounds better than any deal I could not get out there.

"Since you have decided to become a guardian of the secrets , would you rather like to then tell me how I use this new creation of yours? " I ask sarcastically.

"OH, JUST DO EVERYTHING LIKE YOU NORMALLY WOULD. IN THIS FORM THE ONLY THINGS YOU BORROW ARE SOME OF MY PHYSICAL PARTS AND SOME OF MY ENERGY. AS YOU CAN TELL, THE HEADACHE IS ALREADY GONE. " Terra says, making me realise indeed that the raging headache I had earlier had gone silent and my vision was clear . Clearer than normal, I seem to have obtained A grade sight if I might say. Whatever that would mean .

I follow Terra's words and head back into my room, picking up my pen to see if I can write with long nails just to test how my fingers work. I struggle to hold the pen but eventually decide to strangle it between my hand , holding it like I probably did the first time I learnt how to write. I unfortunately cannot jot anything except a weird doodle of whatever my hand thought my head had instructed.I guess no writing in this form then.I wonder how some women with those long nails do it though, this seems like a rather troublesome task.

After giving up on using the pen , I do normal stretches just to make sure I can indeed move like normal. I flap my arms like a bird and stand on one leg to check my balance and so far everything is working just fine.I am still the same height if not slightly taller, I can't tell if I gained any extra meat on my skin as I am wearing some loose sweatpants and an oversized long sleeve black shirt that still don't look filled , meaning I could still be the same. I feel the same, so I guess that didn't change. I am thinking since for this task I only need hands to do the work then that is why my hands and arms changed and my face only changed as a sign to show that I am not fully myself. Maybe I could try more things later to see how this body works but for now I need to get the kitchen cleaned.

I will need as much money as I can get if I want to move from here, even with secretly tutoring having a bit more from my supposed parents will help me reach my goal faster so I need that allowance. I am sure my father won't hold the money from me but if mother tells him a lie about what I did then he will have to listen to his dear mate. As I walk to the kitchen, I feel my body has gotten a lot lighter and my steps feel as if I am not even touching the ground, one more light step and I am already in the kitchen. I have a lot of questions to ask, including what my father has to do with any of these new changes I am facing, but I trust Terra will eventually tell me everything as time goes and I learn how to use and or even access our new skills but even in this peculiar moment I can't help but think...I am fucking cool . . .

I am a wonder!.
