Chapter Four

"Wait, what do you mean" I clipped tightly to her, as much as I was enjoying reminiscing and walking down memory lane it was getting late and I was tired.

Tired of secrets more than anything and the woman sitting across from me had the answers that I wanted, not needed. I watched her look up at me still with a small smile, gone was the cheeky smile she had with her previous statement.

She met my tired and impatient eyes "I meant what I said and soon all will be revealed, but for now its late".

She even had the nerve to pat my leg like we were done when how could anyone be done with so many questions still unanswered. I opened my mouth to disagree when she shushed me and got up stretching her tired muscles.

"I am going to give you those answers just like I said I was but enough is enough".

She started walking towards the door and pointed towards the stairs, indicating she wanted me to get up and go to my room. I rolled my eyes to the heavens. What am I five I heard myself ask her.

She turned around and gave me a stern look "You are going upstairs and get a good night's rest. You are going to need your sleep and we will take this back up first thing in the morning".

"Aggie please don't do this to me, I know we are both tired, but how am I supposed to sleep knowing that you are keeping things from me. Things that could be life changing" I pleaded with her.

She gave me a sympathetic look but shook her head "Ethan, this is for your own good, you need rest, your body needs rest and your mind needs to rest!! If you really trust me please go try to sleep you are going to need it".

I looked at her dumbfounded "Since you put it like that it makes me what to run upstairs and eat a bottle of Tylenol PM" I scoffed sarcastically.

I knew I was being unreasonable but since my life was being turned upside down and she wanted me to sleep.

"Ethan now your acting like a child, I simply think it's best for both of us to get some much-needed sleep before I go into more details", she sighed out loud and I could see the exhaustion roll off her.

I felt like an asshat for what I had said and what I was thinking. "Your right and I am sorry", I ducked my head and started for the stairs hanging my head low.

I felt her arms go around me, "Come here love" she said in a motherly voice.

"I know this is a lot for you to take in, but I mean it when I say you are going to thank me later for making you go to bed" she said into my ear.

She patted me on my arms and lead me to the stairs, "now go and don't make me come tuck you in with your bottle of Tylenol PM' she said playfully causing me to roll my eyes dramatically.

At that moment, I felt an overwhelming wave of trust for her and I could feel myself craving my pillow. I patted her head lovingly and smiled at her as I made my way up the stairs. As soon as I walked into my room my eyes connected with my bed letting out a huge yawn and I realized how exhausted I was. As bad as a shower would have relaxed me further I knew it could wait until the morning. I slid into my sheets and laid my head back on my fluffy down pillows and pulled my hands to prop up my head as I focused on the ceiling.

The memories of everything that had happened the last four days came flashing back in a rush leaving am uneasy feeling in the depths of my stomach. I knew from the little I had learned today and what I would gain tomorrow my life was going to be forever changed and honestly, I could not even begin to guess if that was going to be a good or bad change. From what I could gather is that there was a lot that had been hidden from me by my family and for what reason I was going to find out.

Thinking of my family I reached for my cell phone to find it almost dead. Of course, it would be needing a charge when I needed to talk to my uncle or even my father. With 10 percent left I checked my missed calls seeing that there were several from my uncle and Alex and a couple from Rori asking if I was okay. I fired off a text to my uncle, telling him that we needed to have a serious talk and powered it off. Apparently, everyone could wait until tomorrow. I yawned largely again and plugged my phone in to charge and turned out the lights. To my surprise, Tylenol PM was not needed because before I could yawn again I slipped into a deep sleep.

I awoke to light streaming through the gap in the curtains that I had forgotten to close completely last night in my haste to go to sleep. I stretched underneath my covers using my fore arms to cover my sensitive eyes since they screamed at me in protest. I rubbed them in attempt to help ease their discomfort and felt the throb in my temples return. I am sure that the inability to turn my brain off and stop the instant and tired replay of the last five days was not helping ease the tension that was flowing through my body right this moment. I groaned in irritation of the fact that my body was hyper sensitive this morning. I ran my fingers to either side of my head and rubbed my temples deeply willing the pain to go away. Even a good night sleep could not erase this or the differences I felt in my body. I lowered my aching eyes down and noticed that my body was quite a bit more muscular than I was prior to arriving in Scotland.

I had always taken pride in keeping myself in shape and in the gym. Having a toned muscular body was something I made a priority but even though I had not worked out in a week I could tell that my muscles were more defined and my body leaner. My senses were also still functioning at a more than normal heightened state and that had not seemed to change overnight either. Add all of that to the list of peculiar things that had happened to me in less than 24 hours as well as the frustration of not knowing why and I completely understood why my body was groaning in protest. I pushed myself up in the bed and threw back the covers and swung my legs over to the side of the bed. With another light stretch I stood up and walked faster than normal to the window and pushed the curtains closed. Noticing that every movement I made felt as if I was moving at an accelerated pace caused me to groan out loud and mentally add it to the growing list.

Maybe a shower and more answers would help me sort this out. I found myself in the bathroom with the light on as I thought about it, I must be really preoccupied if I can't even remember my short walk to the bathroom that adjoins my bedroom. I gently shook my head and shut the door and stepped further in turning to face my body towards the vanity that housed one sink and a full-length mirror. I caught myself before I gasped out loud and braced myself on the marble vanity top with both my hands and took a deep breath before I glanced back up in amazement at the man gawking back at me.

I stood tall in front of the mirror and gazed at myself clad only in tight boxer briefs for a moment. Slowly looking up and down I took time to take in my features that were sharper and more defined. A light stubble had formed showing I had not shaved in a couple of days, my eyes were bright but as I watched them intently I could see them swirl with silver, which was odd, my eyes had always been ice blue. I noticed my black hair was shaggy and growing at an alarming rate, gone was my spiky gelled hair and now it fell across my forehead with the back almost touching my shoulders. A couple of more days and it would go up in a manbun if not cut soon I scoffed humorously to myself.

I glanced farther down stopping first at my shoulders and chest, taking in the sun kissed color of my skin that was firmly drawn over my bulging pectoral muscles. I peered at my arms gaping at my overly large bicep muscles that were swollen and strained against my skin as if I had just come from working out. I roughly ran my right hand over my left arm feeling the hardness of each plane of muscle as it connected to the next. After fully examining my arms and chest with my hands and eyes I traced down my chest towards by stomach finding that I no longer had a six pack but it had been replaced by eight hard and defined abdominal muscles that narrowed down to a trim waist light sprinkled lightly with black hair that led down to sleek and lean hips. I ran my hands carelessly over my abs and felt a small smile grace my lips. I enjoyed the gym immensely but no matter how hard I worked or modified my diet I was never able to achieve the perfection that stared back at me in the mirror.

As mesmerizing as it was I realized that even if this was a good change it still was something that I did not understand causing me once again to sink into a state of confusion. I ran my hand over my face and groaned, what was happening to me, this was just not a normal occurrence and no answers up to this point had come close to explaining a body transformation like this. I took another long look at my newly improved body and slid my briefs off inhaling sharply at what lay hidden underneath them. I had always fairly well endowed and not one woman had ever complained but the change in size was even alarming to me. I stared in disbelief at my large thick muscular member that even at rest left me slightly distressed at what it would be like once it was in a hardened state. It quite literally was one of the largest I had ever seen. I had been in my fair share of locker rooms being a sports fanatic and participant and mine was in the top five largest that I had ever seen, maybe even the top two. I would be lying if I was not a bit impressed at this point and of course it was every man's dream to be big but hell I did not want to scare the women away in fear especially when my new friend could quite literally be its own person.

I shook my head as I thought about all of it and realized that I needed to quit wasting time and get downstairs and talk to Aggie especially about my overnight transformation. With a sigh of puzzlement and frustration I turned to the walk-in shower and turned the tap on and let a mixture of warm and cold flow out of the huge shower nozzle and stepped in. Immediately I could feel the tension leave my body as the almost too hot water beat on my tight muscles, instantly relaxing them. My thoughts urgently fell to about what today would hold and felt myself fill with tension once again. I sighed and grabbed my body wash and lathered my body up the entire time letting my thoughts drift from one event to another from yesterday. As appealing as it was to check out other aspects of my new-found size I pushed it away washing all the suds off me and quickly lathered up my hair and washed it clean.

I stayed under the spray of water for a minute trying to run through the mental list of questions I needed to ask Aggie when I felt a tugging deep in my soul. The tugging was persistent and while it was not an uncomfortable it gave me a feeling of urgency. I hastily shut the water off, grabbed the towel off the towel rack located on the rack right outside the shower door and swiftly dried my body off. Wrapping the towel around my waist I took care of the rest of my hygiene necessities paying extra care to my longer than normal hair. I ran the towel through it until it was lightly dried and shook it out until it framed my face with a wind-blown look. I gave myself one more cursory glance and swiftly opened the bathroom door to walk out into my bedroom when my sensitive ears picked up the faintest of a conversation.

I tilted my head towards the hallway in an attempt to uncover any trace of who was talking. I could make out two female voices which I recognized as one to be Aggie. I felt the tugging deep in my chest and found that I was at my closet before I could even realize that I was there and yanked the door open, grabbing a pair of blue jeans, royal blue t-shirt and a black hoodie and threw them on my bed. I grabbed a pair of boxer briefs from my dresser and slipped into them and then yanked on my other clothing. In my haste to get out the door to try to find the voices I had heard I almost walked out without any shoes on. I stopped briefly picking out a pair of socks, placing them on my feet and sliding them into a pair of black hiking boots. Once completely dressed I eased out of my room, which I found the hallway eerily silent and quietly followed the sound of the voices. Once I made it to the top of the stairs I stopped and listened to the voices and felt myself become lost in the beautiful tone of the other female. Her lovely sing song voice was music to my ears and if I was not in a dire quest for answers I would have begged to listen to her talk all day long. That soul deep tug was back and it seemed to have a strong pull that had me craving to go directly towards the voice.

I also felt a new sensation that felt like a hunger that was growing deep in the pits of my stomach. It left me with a feeling that caused me to believe that food would never satisfy me and I did not know if it was from the need to find the answer to this tugging in my chest or something else. No matter what I had to continue towards those voices, which I found was more my body taking control and drawing me closer to that voice I could not seem to get enough of. I stilled myself against the wall at the top of the stairs and trained my ears toward where I heard the voices come from. As I listened in to what they were saying it dawned on me that they were discussing me and the things that I heard them say made my blood run cold.
