First Transformation

I tossed an turned uncontrollably all night, my body was drenched in cold sweat, my body felt on fire and it felt like my skin was ripping itself apart, as if my body was going through metamorphosis but ten times more painful. I continued on sleeping never awaking from my deep disturbed slumber, my finger nails began to grow two inches longer than normal, my teeth grew shorter but sharper, my chest grew two sizes bigger, my stomach was athletically toned, legs were two inches longer and my eyes were now a jade green color with a tint of red. It was like I was having an outer body experience, at first I was scared but after the pain subsided I began to see the pain was worth the sacrifice, though I tried to wake myself up which ended, tragically to no avail. I still thought that if this was a possibility I would take it, damn the price.

"What if I told that what you were seeing is what your life is going be and no matter what you do to keep your normal life, it will be pointless, your life will never be the same. I mean how could it be right, half human hybrid, who's family was curse over one thousand years ago to fight other cursed as a sport for the God's that your family and like other's like you have cursed their blood line forever. What would you do than?" an elderly male's voice choed to me from the dark recesses of this particular dream state.

"First, what was in that weed that I blazed up, for me to be seeing and hearing the crazy shit. If this wasn't a drug induced dream or some kind of dream based off of the last movie I saw before passing out, than what you're saying has to be from my subconscious trying to make me aware of something that my body isn't aware of. Secondly and finally, I could be losing my fuckin mind." I responded skeptically but a part of me took note to the situation just in case if it isn't bullshit.

"Honestly, I'm relieved to hear you respond in this manner because I would be worried for you mentally and psychologically, if you would've responded the opposite way." the elderly man's voice echoed and so did his elderly chuckle.

"All joke's a side though what you have seen will happen to you. When? Probably the next 24 hours and what will happen after that? Well, let's just keep mystery and suspense thrill ride keep on going. Until next time Sarah." with that I was awoken to my alarm clock blaring alive, I slapped it off, the clock read 4:30 a.m, I rolled out of bed and I made my way into the washroom an I did my morning routine. I started the shower because after morning class I would have to go to work immediately afterward at the 'Family Antiques'. I worked their since freshman year of high school and now I am a freshman in college, on my way to be a writer. As I was getting dressed, I noticed that my eyes were jade green now, my skin became fairer as if I gotten more attractive, my chest felt heavier and my muscles were definitive and lean.

"Probably the next 24 hours..." the elderly man's echoed in the back of my head. I put on a sports bra because none of my bras fit, I put on a pair of black loose fitted pajama bottom a black tank top with a zipper hoodie and before I left the house I pulled out my shoe box of treats. I pulled out my rolling papers, my bong, my cigarettes and my lighter, I played a song from my phone to my stereo which was connected to my bluetooth, I put on, 'Shame by Stabbing Westward'. I started to break grind up my weed, I pulled my bowl piece for my bong and a rolling paper. I packed up the bowl piece and I immediately began rolling a joint but I was interrupted by my cellphone ringing. It was a close friend of mine Raven McEnroe, we had been friends since freshman year of high school, when some bullies were kicking her ass I stepped, the altercation resulted in me being suspended at first until Raven an other eye witnesses pleaded their an on their first encounters with the same gang of women that jumped Raven. My suspension was lifted shortly their after, but not before Raven and I became the best of friends almost like sisters.

I hit the green button to answer the phone.

"Hey I'm downstairs, can you buzz me in?" Raven spoke with a tomboyish voice for a woman, Raven was 5'9 averagely built but still had an rare beauty about her.

"Yep, give me one sec." I immediately responded as I finished rolling the joint. I hung up the phone and moved by a small grey box by the door that had three buttons, I hit the middle one an buzzed up Raven. I unlocked the door and shortly after Raven came into the apartment. It was a basic one bedroom apartment, nothing to fancy about it, except for the hidden room in my closet. It's where I go to grow my big marijuana plant that I named Blueberry Raspberry OG. It had shades of blue with hits of purple and red, Raven an I set up the room so nobody could smell it, the power was coming from a solar panels on the roof by the deck where we go to barbecue or relax.

"Trying out the first batch I see. How much did we get from the first batch?" Raven looked at me with excitement in her eyes.

"One pound and this is yours." I responded as I handed her a duffel bag with two quarter pounds. Raven face lit up like a kid seeing Christmas for the first time ever.

"Fucking sweet." Raven responded and immediately hugged me, almost virtually smashing the joint in my hand but my quick reflexes allowed me to not let that happen.

I lit up the joint, I inhaled deeply and immediately my body began to burn, my beat knocked me off of my feet, my finger nails grew longer blood began to drip from my finger tips, I could hear my bones began to crack, my jaw started to change as well along with my teeth, I writhed in agony from the Transformation but the pain was short lived, I regained my composure and tried to move back to my seat. I looked at Raven, she stared at me with the joint hanging out her mouth, she looked shocked, empathetic and I could sense her heart rate racing, she was excited not scared.

Raven realized the joint was still in her mouth and she immediately flicked it away, thinking that the weed caused my Transformation.

"I love you man, you know that but I don't want to be a hybrid, nothing wrong with being one, it's just not for me." she had a goofy facial expression on her face when she flicked the joint away, but I could tell the weed had her baked already.

"Its genetic not contagious, you dumb dumb. So yes you can smoke the weed, you fuck nut. Jesus, did you really think it was the weed? You know what dont answer that." I looked at her for a few and she had this look of a goofy hesitation expression in her body language alone with her facial expression. I sat down, Raven found the joint she flicked and to her astonishment it was still, much to her delight. I took a hit from the bong, I sat there as I thought about everything that had happened, the dream and now not only did the dream come true but I can transform into a snake hybrid. 'That's just fucking perfect!' I screamed in my head as I exhaled the smoke from my lungs. I sat there, every few moments taking a hit from the bong, I kept running back to one fact and that was, 'I had to pay a visit to my mother.' I got up and I eyed myself in a mirror not to far from where I was, 'I hated to admit but if I was a male or female I would fuck the shit out of me.' I bounced light as I made my way back to Raven.

"Are you ok Sarah?" she looked at me with a questionable look on her face. She sat there hitting the join waiting for my response.

"Everything is better than ok for now, but later the gate's of hell will be open." as I spoke the air in the room got a slight chill, I chuckled lightly in my head.

"Dont tell me?" a look of dread came over Ravens face. The joint started to move frantically because Raven began to shake all over.

"Yep I'm going to my mother's house." lightning flashed outside, I looked outside, the sun was gone and dark clouds circled all around city and suburbs it looked like, but no rain had fallen, yet.
