Chapter 1
CPOV
Mom always said if people ever came to talk to Dad asking if I was a shapeshifter to run and she would find someone to help me. Dad was human and did not know that she came from a shapeshifter family. I knew I could change into animals my faveret form was a small white kitten with bright blue eyes, as well as a solid white wolf. I love those two forms, now I could be a full grown cat but were is the fun in that? I meen cats lose most of their playfulness once they are full grown some keep it but not even they are as playfull as a kitten and I like playing. I love to run in the woods, animals know I am not normal but they come up to me anyway. I can sort of talk with them as well.
I have heard that a family near by has a werewolf staying with them. I know that if he caught wind of my scent the wolf in him will go crazy. As there are no female werewolves, they hunt for female shapeshifters like my self. I never did think that the day would come that I would have to flee my home though. I never thought the day would come that what my mother told me to watch out for would happen. She warned me that my Aunt, her sister, worked with the men and knew what I was and wanted to find a way to make it to were I can no longer phase forms. She wants me to be human and hates that my Dad is human like her and my mother, at least she does not know that mother told me all of this. But since I hate to hang with her for I know she hates what I am, she no longer tries to control me like she did when my mother first died.
The men came three days ago and I have been running since. I know were the werewolf is and he even caught a small sighting of me in the form of a bird, one of my faverets a humming bird. I got out of there fast I know I need the help of him and his family but I am to scared to ask for it. As I arived in town I changed in to my kitten form. Knowing that the odds are more in my faver to get food in this form than any of the others. Just act cute and they will give you everything you can eat. I was so caught up in my thoughts that I did not notice the animal control guy until he had me in a net.
That is how I, Chloe Saunders, female shapeshifter ended up in the pet store, waiting to be sold to some family that would feed me nasty cat food and never let me out of the house. Can my life get any worse?
DPOV
Dad is out of his mind! Letting Tori get a pet! I am a werewolf everything is going to hate me! I am pacing in my room thinking of everything and any thing that she could get. A dog will go crazy and attack me, same for a cat, but I think I would prefer the dog, for cats do not fight fair. Simion is fussing saying since she can get a pet then he gets to pick were we are moving at the end of the week. I am just glad that we are finaly leaving Texas. I just hope that they find that girl soon. A young girl, well not to young she is only a year younger than Simion, Tori, and me, is missing and has not been seen in three days. I did the math if they do not find her by tomorrow she is dead or ran away with a boyfriend.
Dad tried to get Tori to wait until we moved to get the pet but she wants it today. So hear we are loading in the car to go to the pet store and I fear she will get the worse kind of pet there with me being a werewolf. God, do not let her get a bunny or it will die in a few hours from fright from my scent.
"Dad, why does Simion get to chose where we are moving? I was hoping to pick were we move," Tori said with a whine.
"Because Tori, you are getting a pet today. So, he gets to pick where we move now I will have last say for I have to keep us safe but if were he wants to move is safe, then that is where we are going," Dad said.
"But he will pick some place boring and I would like to go some place fun," Tori whined again, trying to get her way.
"Oh, come on I will pick someplace fun as well as far away from EG as possible," Simion said. EG, the Edison Group, a group of crazy supernaturals that messed with our genetic make-up. Now that we have escaped and they relize that they can no longer use us for what they wanted they want to kill us.
"Shut up, all you want is to pick so that I have to put up with having no chance of making friends!" Tori yelled in the car.
I look at Dad and he looks at me for help. "Don't look at me to help with this," I tell him as I turn on my ipod. "Set The World On Fire" by the Black Veil Brides started playing and I pay no mind to Simion and Tori until we reach the pet store, we have to arive when "Animal I have Become" by Three Days Grace starts playing. I turn off my ipod and open the van door and Tori and Simion all most fall out since they where not paying any attention to what I was doing.
"Derek!" they both yell at me for opeing the door.
"I want out and you two where fighting," I said as I got out and waited next to the door.
"Tori go find your pet but remember to keep it away from Derek for it may not like him," Dad told Tori. The only thing she could get is a snake or some other animal that has to be kept in a cage and under a heat lamp.
"Yeah, I know that is why I want him in there to help if the animal does not attack it is what I get," Tori said.
"I am not going in there," I all but growled at her.
"She has a point Derek it will need to be comfertable near you," Dad said.
"Fine," I said as I went in the store. At once the birds went crazy, the cats hissed, the dogs barked and growled and in all this I hear a small meaw of a kitten and look at it. A small white kitten with big blue eyes staired back at me I was next to its cage and yet it was not attacking me? This cat is not normal.
"I want this kitten," Tori said.
"No, no cats," I say.
"But look at her she likes you! I have looked at all of the other animals and they are crazy she is not so we will take her!" Tori said.
"Go and get some food while I pay for the kitten," Dad said.
"Fine," I said as I left the store.
