I couldn't think straight. I needed to breath. Breath everything is alright. You'll be alright. I chanted in my head. I couldn't move, they were surrounding me, pushing me, and calling me names.
"Freak, get the Freak!" I wanted to change. I couldn't, I dashed past them towards the forest. Once I was sure I am not being followed I changed form and switched directions and go to my cave, my haven.
I was abandoned for being an abomination. No one would want a girl that changed into a tiger.
Those who would want to would do tests and experiment on me like a lab rat.
School is mandatory and a torment for me. School isn't safe. Even if they don't know I can shift they know I am different.
Seeing ghosts doesn't help the matter either. I have been able to see them as long as I can remember. Ghosts harm you, invade your dreams and make them nightmares. I must control my temper. If I don't things start to break.
I truly am a monster. I shouldn't exist.
Men can't be trusted they hurt you. Women can't be trusted they betray you. Feelings are useless they only cause more pain.
Stop thinking like that it will all work out in the end. I shift back and begin walking to my neighborhood. As I continue the streets become more disgusting and dark. I basically run to my door and slam the door shut. I look around and see the familiar ratty mattress on the floor by the window a pile of books next to it. The only light flicked and the kitchen needed repair. The bathroom only held the necessities. I really need to consider finding another apartment. I go into the kitchen and reach for tea in the pantry and heat up water. At least tea will help with the hunger. After I finish the tea I lay down on my mattress and as the sun disappears from the view of my window I fall asleep.
