A Monster

Melody

The middle-aged man touched my forehead to feel my temperature. However, he jumped backwards as my body convulsed.

"What is wrong with her?" Gio's worry-filled voice made me sad. I tried to speak but my tongue felt like it's been jammed and glued to my mouth.

I couldn't speak, but I could hear everything loud and clear.

I looked down at my chest, thinking the loud thumping was from my heart, but it wasn't. There were numerous heartbeats and murmurs. Everyone spoke at once and I could hear it all.

What I found strange was how loud I could hear their heartbeats.

What is going on with me?

My body moved on its own twisting and turning in strange directions.

I screamed as my body suddenly twisted, making me bend. I looked at my hand and gasped as my nails were extremely long and strange looking.

"Help her!" Gio screamed.

Everyone else stood and stared at me. They looked surprised and couldn't even come close.

This doesn't look good. What is happening to me?
