"Mmmmm. This food is really good." Ryoko comments.

"It is good." Phillip agrees.

I can't focus on them. I destroyed those trees. I destroyed the ground. What could I do to my friends? I could kill them with one rake of my hand. I can't let that happen. Should I stay away from them? I look at my hands and I see them changing.

My eyes widen. Fur was growing. My fingernails were growing. They were growing sharper. I look at my hands and they shake. What am I becoming?? 

"Yuliy, are you alright?" Professor asks.

"I'm fine." I lie.

No. I'm not fine. I'm terrified. I'm afraid of what I might become. I'm afraid of what I'm turning into. What is happening to me? It terrifies the heck out of me. I'm scared. I'm so so scared. I've never been more scared.

"You've been acting weird all day." Phillip says.

"I'm fine." I say again.

I chug down the soup. I just wish everyone would stop worrying about me. I don't want to tell them, or they will be afraid. I don't want to burden them with this because I don't understand it. Am I turning into a wolf? Am I turning into a monster? What am I turning into? I've been asking myself that for a while now. I turn. It's getting late.

"I need to get some rest." I say. 

I stand up.

"Alright, good night, Yuliy." Professor says.

I would say it back, but I'm pissed at him. I walk to my room. Down the hallways. I turn and I see my shadow. It's a wolf. I ignore it. I open the door to my room and I jump.

"What the Hell are you doing in here?" I growl.

"Hello, Yuliy Sirius." Master Yevgraf smiles.
