The Shack
I sat there motionless. I just stared at her. She was motionless too. Her pupils were so big. She was losing so much blood. My brain seemed to stop working. I hated this form that belonged to me. I hated being a monster. I knew that if she was in fatal conditions she wouldn't be able to shift back.
My body shook, my body shook so bad I could of swore the Earth underneath of me was shaking. My body was under so much pressure, under so much stress. I was under a lot of pressure and stress.
The teardrop fell off my face like silent bullets falling from the clouds. With every moment I wasted crying I might've just shot bullets into her head. The mystical wave of green light that had caused this had transferred my soul back to my human skin. I scooped Alyssa up and rubbed her fur on my face.
"Please, just speak to me..." I wailed quietly, "ALYSSA TALK TO ME!" whilst screaming I placed her back on the cold, sparkling ground. I pound my fists into the ground, my eyes still foggy with tears widened with shock. The ground was splattered with blood. I looked at my hands and they were caked with the red substance.
I scooped Alyssa up and ran as fast as I could. I wasn't brave enough to take her to my parents or even hers at that matter. I ran down the old path Alyssa and I believed to be a small village. We agreed never to go down there because if our true identities were shown we would be screwed over. Probably turned in to some laboratory of genetic research.
The only way I could get someone to help me would be if I introduced Alyssa as my cat. A pet. The only downside is if Alyssa gets too excited or emotional she'd turn back, and she'd be nude. Oh shit. I forgot.
I stopped running for a second. Blood dripping through my fingers from Alyssa's throat. I was naked, in the nude. I swore a million cuss words. quickly skimming the area I found that the village was just ahead. There was a small shack a little to the left of me. It was out of the way but it was worth it if I could get clothing from it.
I began to sprint again. My heart rate quickened but I was able to run for long periods of time. It was a bonus but it still reminded me that I was different. That I was a mutated human that had no self-control. My Cross Country skills showed that I had no self-control. I couldn't keep myself from stopping in the middle of the race to look at a squirrel or listen to the deep breathing of others. Instead, I would jog beside the stragglers and cheer them on. I was never a competitive person, but yet I pushed myself during practices, it was never worth it.
I sat Alyssa on the ground near the wooden, rickety staircase that lead to the shack. I carefully raced up the stairs. The steps groaned with each step I took. I tried bursting in through the door but it was locked. This retard lives in the middle of the woods, why would you lock the door?
I was so overwhelmed. I raised my leg to kick the door in but before I could do so a strange voice reached to me.
"Don't you fucking dare touch that door." It was a female voice, you could tell by the way her voice was a higher pitch. I felt like I could turn a page in her voice and read her like a book. The way this girl spoke, she had a calming nature but I could feel a badass vibe.
"Why shouldn't I?" My voice was full of determination. I tried not to let my fear take hold of me or the embarrassment of being bare with just skin being presented like an art canvas.
"Because I know who you are, Rose. And if I stand to be correct, Alyssa's almost dead. So you had to start knocking on people's doors, but before you could do that you need clothes, so before you could do that you needed a place away from the village." I could feel her gaze, it was malicious and perilous.
"How do you know me, how do you know anything?" My voice quaked as I spoke, basic research of me couldn't have given her this conclusion. Not even an expert could get that information.
"You're my stand-in, Rose. My replacement." Her words escaped her mouth with a chilling slither, and as it reached my ears the hair on my body rose and danced in the chilling wind that brought the crimson colored leaves with it.
"I don't understand..." I whispered. Sure the dripping blood on my hands or the blood draining from Alyssa's body didn't help the situation. The scary part was that she knew my name. It gave me an uneasy feeling.
"GODDAMNIT! THIS HAPPENED TO ME TOO, ROSE! WHY DO YOU THINK ALYSSA WAS SO SCARED OF YOU AT FIRST? I HAD TO WATCH THROUGH SECURITY CAMERAS! I HAD TO WATCH YOU THROUGH THE CAGE I WAS FORCED IN!" I quickly turned around to see a girl around my age, she was definitely older than me. She wore a silver silken dress with a heart that had a cross through it near her left shoulder. Right around where your real heart would be. Only the heart on her dress was much smaller. Her dress didn't go down very far. It reached about mid-thigh. Although there was white mesh tied around her waist. The mesh reached her ankles but it was cut into sections. She didn't have any jewelry, nor did she have any shoes but what attracted me the most were her purple eyes. They had this weird fog that radiated from her eye-socket. This fog matched the color of her eyes almost perfectly. Only her whole eye was purple. She didn't have pupils. Just purple.
"I don't understand anything that you said, but right now Alyssa is in critical danger, she could potentially die, so if you take her in and help her I will try to understand what you tell me and I will do anything to pay you back."
This girl, this girl was a scourge. A real pain. I had no clue what she meant when she said that I was her replacement. Or even when she said that she had been watching us. I was on edge. I had no clue, no clue at all. But for now I would just have to follow her and if Alyssa didn't make it, I would kill this pesty girl first then myself. If I couldn't get what I want on Earth I'll get it in Hell. One way or another I'm still going to get what I want.
I could feel my bones beginning to shift and grind against each other. I was provoking myself to turn into my wolf skin by disrupting my thinking process by adding this virus to my brain. We weren't even on a first name basis and I hated her from the bottom of my modified heart.
This carp of a girl lead me through the wooden shack. It was really something spectacular. The ceilings were all natural wood, the floors were all stones, like a bunch of pebbles you would skip on the water cemented together. That was her flooring throughout her whole shack. As we walked through her living area a huge chandelier made of deer antlers hung from rusted chains. Finally, she led us to her room. She had a giant metal chest. It had books and some board games stacked upon it. She carefully but Alyssa's head over her shoulder and swiped all the items onto the floor causing pieces from board games to fly and books to crash. It was a catastrophe.
Alyssa was gingerly placed on the metal box as if she were a glass masterpiece. Her body was limp and lifeless. Although the girl didn't seem too worried about it.
"Before I scare you a bunch of times I should at least tell you my name." She chuckled quietly, almost silent, "The name is Desiree. I am another Genetically Modified human, and we are the same animal, if you want, go over and raid my closet. Being naked isn't fun." The new wolf girl named Desiree snickered as if she understood exactly how I was feeling. Did she know? I wondered but knew I probably would never ask. I walked over to her closet. It was a wooden sliding door. Her clothes were neatly tied to a wooden bar with ivy. I started to get the feeling that most of her house was makeshift.
I chose a pearly white dress, the sides were cut out showing my skin. The sleeves were cut out to where you could see my shoulders but my arms were covered. The length wasn't a factor I liked. The back of the dress was approximately around the back of my knee. the front of the dress, however, was a different story. It only went about eight inches down from the start of my hip bone. It was just enough, It didn't show any nudity but it wasn't the greatest. The back of the dress had a ruffled appearance at the edges. The neckline was dangerous too. The middle was cut all the way to my belly button. The more you got to my breast the wider the opening got. The only thing holding the top part together were these black ribbons. I tied them loose so I could breathe, but tight enough to where nothing was being exposed.
I walked over to Desiree who was breathing heavily and wincing, she had both her hands over Alyssa's wound. She would occasionally place one hand over to an organ that needed to function to live. Her hands were glowing with the same purple fog that had come from her eyes. Alyssa looked better, so much better. The blood was still there but she was breathing. I extended my arm towards Alyssa's head. I stroked the top of her head. I was smiling like an idiot. Happy tears began to flood my eyes. They silently fell down my pale face.
Desiree fell to the floor screaming. Her eyes were blood red and looked like they were going to burst out of her eye socket. The veins in her body were highly visible through her skin. She was as stiff as a board. She suddenly stopped screaming and put her hands over her eyes.
"You really messed her up." Desiree spoke out of breath, "It hurt so much.." Her body was now shaking from being so strained.
"W-w-what do you mean?" My voice was almost as shaky as her body. I really had no clue what was going on or how to help the situation.
"Let's help Alyssa and then I'll explain it to the both of you." She hoisted herself up by using the metal chest that Alyssa was now sitting on in human skin. Desiree's legs were still extremely shaky but she was able to keep herself standing without having to hold onto anything.
"Why do I need your useless help?" Alyssa spat at Desiree kicking her down to the floor, "You cause nothing but trouble!" Alyssa was now kicking Desiree multiple times.
I lunged forward and grabbed Alyssa by her long flowy hair. She quit kicking Desiree but threw a punch at me.
"What the hell, Rose?"
"I just saved your life you ungrateful little twit!" Desiree spat on the ground before I could say anything.
"How do you figure?"
"You're the one that did it to me," Desiree spoke in a voice of exasperation, she was full of fury. It was like a tiny sun was glowing inside of her.
"You're the one that attacked me!" Alyssa and Desiree were yelling at each other completely oblivious that I was still in the room so I walked over to the closet and decided to pick out a dress for Alyssa since dresses were the only thing Desiree owned.
I picked out, yet another scandalous dress. It was a light blue lace dress that had lace shoulder straps and covered just enough like the dress that I was wearing. The dress has a beautiful train that drug on the ground. The sides of the dress were cut out just like how my dress was. You would be able to see the skin through the dress but the dress had a built-in bra and nude shorts so that nothing would be seen. The dress did however cut down pretty far, but not far enough to where you would see her belly button. Although her belly button would still be exposed due to the fact that you can see skin between each empty space of the lace.
I walked over and shoved the dress in Alyssa's arms, "Just shut up for once, Alyssa, you look like a fool, put this on," I handed her the lacey dress, "Obviously you guys have some sort of weird backstory, but I want to hear it when we're going to act like friends towards each other, we're all the same here." I had no clue what I was saying, but I hoped it made sense.
"Rose has a point," Desiree claimed. She was no longer shaking and could get up with ease. She wiped the blood off the metal container with a blanket that was on the shelf nearest to her. She began stacking the board games and books.
"I guess..." Alyssa's voice trailed off as she zipped up the dress.
"I say we go out to the couch and I can explain how I healed you and how I even ended back here," Desiree grabbed Alyssa's and my hand. Alyssa flinched and gave me a dirty look but I squeezed Desiree's hand and smiled at Alyssa behind Desiree's back. Desiree was too busy dragging us she didn't notice Alyssa and I.
"It's so good to be back!" Desiree screeched. As I was being dragged I noticed something on Desiree's skin. A tattoo. It wasn't of an animal or a sacred symbol. Instead, it held horrifying secrets. The tattoo read #1GMES.
