Chapter Five: Shifting.
The wolves growled at me, I fell on my knees from the thing inside me. No breathing could tame it in this time, it want out and it want to get out now.
I screamed, then screamed and screamed some more. It hurt everything I felt like my bones are breaking all over my body.
In my haze I heard someone says "get the alpha" and another scream "he need help". I totally agree, I do need help and I need it now, another scream of agony, of pure pain, nothing I ever endured hurt this much.
I was on the verge of fainting, I felt weak, and then the pain stopped, everything stopped. I couldn't hear a thing, I was finally in peace no pain, no hurt. I'm dying, I don't mind let me go in peace i had no one to care or even give a damn about me.
I made peace with my end, with my death, I was ready to go. Until a voice broke the spell, the pain was back everywhere, it's worst then before now. My back feel like it's breaking one by one, it hurt too much and I scream.
"Listen to my voice" the voice says, it was full of dominance and demanding to be obliged.
"You're okay, let the wolf out I'm here for you" the same voice said again, I didn't know what wolf he's talking about but whatever's inside me knew and went crazy.
I screamed my pain again this time it felt like my skin was on fire. The voice appeared to have hands too, I felt someone touching me. Over and over again the touch was calming the burn and I liked it.
"Shh you're okay don't fight it. Deep breath, you're safe nothing bad will happen I promise" the voice said and I believed him.
Trying to take deep breath like he said I felt the thing inside win, I let it go this time. Few more screams of agony and it's done, I opened my eyes to see that I'm close to the ground way too close.
I looked down but I don't see my feet I saw paws, I have paws and everything smell. I look at the voice owner to see a guy with black hair and matching black eyes. He look at me with a kind smile and pet my head with one of his giants hands.
"You scared me there little guy" he says and I look up at him with confusion.
"We almost lost you" he says still petting me "aren't you a pretty puppy. You'll make everyone fight over your pretty eyes" he get close to me kissing the top of my head.
In my head I liked this guy, he made me feel safe. I tried to stand up but kept falling over and over again.
The next time I fell on the floor I felt my eyes tear up, it hurt really hurt and I had no idea what to do. I wanted to stand up but couldn't help to control my fragile limbs. They felt shaky and weak, I looked up at the guy who saw me struggle.
"Take it easy puppy," he says and helps me stand up, with his strong hands around me I managed to stand on all four. Now that I'm fully standing I see that I'm the size of a small wolf, much smaller than the guys I saw earlier.
"Can you try and walk for me" the guy says still holding me up.
I try to use my hands and legs, keyword try since I had four paws now. It took me a few trials to manage to walk forwards, once I did I looked at the big guy and he let me go and I take my first steps on my own.
"Good job puppy" he praises me and it feels so good that my tail wiggle. My tail, look like I have to get used to having a tail now.
"Let's go explore yeah," he says and I bark liking the idea. He smiles and walks away from me, I bark again and he smiles telling me he's gonna shift too.
I wait a few minutes and instead of the guy now stands a large black wolf. This one scares me and I try to walk away but a voice inside my head that sounds like the guy stops me.
"Relax pup it's just me," the voice says and I look around searching for the owner but saw no body but the wolf.
"It's my puppy I'll explain later. Come on let's go"
The black wolf started walking toward the forest and I follow behind slowly still unsteady on my paws. He slowed down to match my pace and helped me the few times I fell.
I was actually having fun with him, I really liked this type of hiking. Few wolves joined us later and I panicked and went to hide behind the black wolf, every one of them was much larger than me.
"What's wrong pup," the black wolf asks and I try to talk back to tell him the others scare me.
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't make words form so I just imagined the one who's scaring me really hard and tried to send it to him.
"This won't hurt you don't worry" he tell, so he did understand me.
The other wolves leave us alone afterward and it's just me and the black wolf again. I felt my eyes getting heavy and heavier with every second, I was ready to fall asleep on the spot.
The black wolf held me from my neck like a little puppy, I tried squirming and fighting but it was useless.
"Shh go to sleep," the voice said and I couldn't help but obey.
