chapter 11

      This is bad! This is soooo bad! Too many people!

      Her wolf fought to take over and she was left dragging it back from the doorway of her mind and locking it up in a cell. Should I give my secret away? If I leave, people will follow me. If I refuse, People will probably bombard me with questions anyway.

     Antariel was desperately trying to convince everyone that she was a werewolf but they wouldn't give in. They pushed her aside and focused the commotion on Skolris. This is terrible. Just utterly terrible! Well, I might as well give them what they want...

     By now, the animal was outraged at being held back. It kicked and snarled in her mind. This will have to be quick.

     "You want me to give you answers?" She snarled. Everyone wore an excited face which annoyed her further.

     Skolris pictured a winged bengal tiger in her mind, when she turned into it, she was huge. With a deafening roar, she flapped her large wings and shot into the clouds, where nobody could see her. Skolris gave herself the power to stand on clouds and that, she did.

     Down below, the talking of people could almost be heard from in the sky. What did I just do? Im such an idiot!  I just gave away my secret! I can't return! People will attack me or something! Or they'll kill me, or maybe both. Im so dead!

    Skolris shrank herself into a smaller tiger and made herself a solid white. I can't go to school now. People will go crazy. She covered herself with her wings and buried herself into the soft wet mist.

     Im so foolish, well I guess what's done is done. I shouldn't beat myself up for what I did wrong. I should notice what I have done right. Well, i saved a little girl, killed a bunch of images from winning a battle, and uhh I have been doing decent in battle practice, i guess. Hmm, the images... it's the weekend tomorrow so maybe me and Antariel can investigate. Ooh yah! And, if i can give myself powers, then maybe I can give myself the power to give somebody else a power! Oh god, I'm just confusing myself.

     Time passed by quickly and Skolris had stayed on her cloud throughout the day. She was nervous for showing herself. By now, the world probably knew she was a shapeshifter. Good thing nobody knew where she lived, well, except for Antariel.

     She had watched down below and had noticed many people stopping at the place where she had shifted into the tiger, halfway between her house and the bus stop.

     Night was approaching quickly and instead if appearing from the clouds to her house, Skolris would just fly into the forest. She thought of a falcon and shifted into the bird of prey. She then flapped her brown wings and dove deep into the oak forest. She landed with a thump on the grassy ground and made sure nobody was near before shifting into a dark black wolf.

     She tried to look as much as a werewolf as possible as she sprinted out if the forest and towards her house. Night bit away ate her heels as she ran and so did the chance of someone noticing her.

     When Skolris arrived at her home, she turned into a human and opened the door. Her mother was dusting the dark wood shelves that their flat screen sat on.

     "Mom! I did it! Everyone knows now... everyone knows my secret!" She announced and half growled. Her mother gave her a sidelong glance. "Well, you know this would happen someday." She said. "Besides, I have a celebrity living in my house now." Her mother said to cheer her up."well, I do suppose there's that." Skolris smiled half heartedly.

     "Well, I know you didn't go to school today but I understand why. I saw it on YouTube." Her mother said with no emotion whatsoever.

     "Heheh.... heh......." Skolris muttered and plopped down on one of the black leather couches. She turned on the tv and the first thing that showed up was the 7:00 News. "BREAKING NEWS: The shapeshifter mystery SOLVED. Skolris, the shapeshifter, was spotted by a police officer at seven o'clock in the morning. Thus video is proof that the shapeshifter is real."

     Skolris sighed, there is nothing she can do now. At least nobody knows what her human form looks like-oh yah, classmates. Arrgh!

     ----next day----

"Hey mom? Can I go hang out at the beach?" Skolris asked. "Sure sweetie! Don't draw attention to yourself, ok?" Her mother called back from another room.

     Skolris opened her wooden door and stepped into the weak morning sun. It was 8:00 am in the morning and not many people would be at the beach. She shifted into a small ferret when nobody was looking and scurried out towards the beach.

     On her way there, Skolris noticed a very very strange smell in the air. It smelled like smoke and gun powder. The smell was near to!

     For some odd reason, she decided to follow the smell. It seemed to be coming from the forest. The forest in 10 miles from here! How in the world can I smell it?

     She ran as fast as her tiny ferret legs could go, which was pretty fast by the way. She passed vampires and fire wielders who looked at the cute little ferret running past.

     The forest appeared in no time and she continued to track the smell. It was deep within the old oaks and was also approaching her town. She shifted into a squirrel and climbed up one of the fat trunks. She was high among the branches and Skolris started jumping from branch to branch while tracking down the scent.

     Time flew by as she got closer and closer. The air seemed to crackle with tension. The scent was less then a mile away now and she could easily see what it was, and it shocked her.

     Two people of the water type, along with two fire images, were carrying a large black box. She noticed it at once.

     They were carrying a bomb.
