Hello this isn't my first story on here I just deleted the others because they were old and they sucked. Whether or not I'll continue to upload this story on here i'll think about tonight and tomorrow. Anyway this is a Psych story with my OC Lexi Ghostar as a four year old instead of sixteen year old. Of course I don't own the characters except for Lexi.
I walked around the nice looking neighborhood I was in. I'm a dog girl who looks more like a terrier mix, maybe a Pit Bull mix, in my dog side. Since I'm only four I'm currently just a puppy.
Since I can't really control when I'm a human or a dog, I have a black hoodie on with the hood up.
Anyway, sniffing the air, I followed it to a apartment. My instincts were telling me a nice man lived there so maybe he would give me a home?
Walking up to the front door, I started scratching at it. After some time I heard him coming up to the door. Opening it, he looked down and saw me standing there.
"Where'd you come from?" He asked after a second.
"I don't know." I replied.
"Where's your parents?" He asked crouching down to my level.
"I don't have any." I replied again.
"Nobody can take care of you?" I shook my head.
"Alright." He sighed. "You can stay the night, I suppose. Then I'll take you to CPS tomorrow."
I tilted my head at "CPS."
"It's Child Protective Services." He said when he saw my confusion.
"Oh." I said quietly in a tired voice.
"Well, come on." He said standing straight up and letting me inside.
Once he shut the door and locked it again, he told me to follow him to the kitchen. Which I did. Once there, he picked me up so I was sitting at the island. He then walked around it so he was standing across from me.
"What's your name?" The man asked. "You can take that hood off now."
"Lexi." I replied and then shook my head. "I like it on."
"Alright well, Lexi, I'm Carlton Lassiter. I might just take you to my work which is the Santa Barbara police department first since I get there pretty early." Carlton replied. "How old are you?"
"Four." I said.
"And you have no family whatsoever?"
I shook my head.
"Hm. Alright, well I'll make sure you get a good home." He said.
It was then that I felt something. His badge that proves he works at the police department is on the counter but that wasn't it… I feel he is hiding something, I mean, who wouldn't want a cute kid/puppy like me?
Oh… right… I'm a freak, a loser, lost cause, nightmare and disaster waiting to happen if I'm not careful...
"Why…can't you keep me?" I finally asked after a few awkward seconds.
"Yah know, I always wanted kids and my now divorced wife never got to know that. Actually It's one of the reasons we split up." that must be what I felt he was hiding… "Besides I can't take care of a kid anyway with my work schedule."
"Can't you…work something out?" I tilted my head.
"Why do you want to stay with me so badly?" Carlton asked.
"I don't know…I just feel safe with you." I replied in an even more tired voice which Carlton recognized quickly.
…But then again, it wasn't rocket science to see when a little kid was tired or not anyway.
"Alright, well, how about we continue this conversation in the morning? You sound pretty tired and for your age, it's passed your bedtime."
"Okay, Mr. Lassie." I replied with a yawn.
I noticed when I said, "Lassie" he gave me a small glare and then shook it off.
"Well, come here." He said walking towards me and then picking me up.
He then carried me over to the couch and laid me down. He then picked a blanket up and put it on me.
"Night, Lexi." Lassiter said as he walked towards the steps.
"Night, Mr. Lassie." I replied.
Giving me a small glare again he turned the lights off and went upstairs to his bedroom and went to sleep… only to have a rude awakening by me, of course.
- In the middle of the night -
I woke up for some reason in the middle of the night. So after going to the bathroom I was about to go back to the couch when I was suddenly pulled over to the window.
Looking out it, I saw there was a full moon. That's why I was pulled over to the window.
Unable to control myself, I started to howl. Just like the dog that I half am. After a few minutes I went to sleep again. I was surprised that Carlton never came downstairs.
- The Morning at 6:00 AM -
I woke up the next morning to hear birds chirping. I looked around to see if Carlton was awake. When I didn't see him, I got up and went to go look out the window again.
Immediately, I saw squirrels running around. Unable to hold my dog side in, I grew dog ears, one being pointed the other flopped over, a dog nose, my skin got slightly tanner, and my tail and paws came out too. On top of that my eyes turned gold. My paws, ears, and tail are the same color as my hair which is fairly dark brown with a lighter shade then it.
Carlton, of course woke up to me barking and scratching at the window. He walked downstairs wondering why the barking sounded close.
He gasped when he saw me.
"L-Lexi?" He stuttered.
Getting my attention I turned around and walked over to him, on all fours. With a small whine, I returned back to looking like a normal human.
"What the hell?!" Carlton snapped.
The result of that was getting another whine from me.
"I-I'm sorry. You weren't suppose to find out this way, I just can't control myself sometimes." I replied. "I saw squirrels and my dog side just took over which woke you up."
"What the hell are you?! And if you were barking at squirrels…I guess I'm okay with you barking just now." Lassiter replied as I sat down.
"I don't know, to be honest. I'm some type of dog. i can even turn into a full normal dog if I wanted to." I replied. "I just woke up one day being a stray. I had no family or home at all. Once I was I think 8 weeks I was left alone."
"Do you have any siblings?" Carlton asked.
"Not that I remember." I said.
"Hm. Stay here while I go get ready and then I'll get you breakfast. What do you eat anyway?" Carlton asked.
"I'm okay with human and dog food." I said.
He just nodded and walked back upstairs. I walked over, still on all fours, over to the couch and curled up on it.
Once Carlton came back down I followed him over to the kitchen back on two feet. He picked me up and put me in the chair again.
"What do you want?" He asked.
"That banana is good and milk." I replied pointing to a basket of fruit.
Carlton handed me the banana and then grabbed a glass and poured milk into it as he started making coffee for himself.
"So…" He started trying to make conversation. "You were just born like that with no way of knowing how you are…I guess a dog hybrid?"
"I have no idea why I'm like this. I know I'm way to little to be on my own but I don't think anybody would want me when they find out." I replied.
"I'm sure they'll get over it." Carlton said turning back to his coffee while I just shrugged at him even though he didn't see it.
"When are we going to the police department?" I asked after a moment.
"Soon." Lassiter replied. "Yah know, I heard a dog howling last night was-"
"Yes that was me." I cut him off. "I woke up in the middle of the night, saw the full moon and howled against my will."
Again he just nodded.
Him nodding made me worry that he thinks of me as a lost cause nightmare. But then again why wouldn't he? Once I was finished with the banana I just laid my head down while he threw the peal away.
Again idk if I will continue this on here or not.
