Chapter 1: Changes
His name is Richard, Richard Canis that is. And for the last year he learned that his dad is the superhero Shifter with the power of shape shifting. Which he uses to turn into any creature on earth depending on what the situation calls for. Now that he knows is it all makes scene to him. Since Richard was five he had a power similar to his father, just not to such extent. Richard Canis has the power of shape shifting, but unlike Shifter he can change into only two things.
The first thing Richard can be is a normal gray wolf. And second (which is the strange part to him) is a werewolf. He found out because one night he was watching monster movies with his friends and he got the idea to scare them by walking in as a wolf. So he started to change normally as he learned to but next thing he knew he was standing upright and taller then he should as a wolf,putting that out of my mind at the time i realized something was wrong when i stomped in as a fully formed werewolf. Needless to say my "friends" the never spoke to me ever again after that.
But they spoke to their other friends about it and for that reason I have well a loner in the social department and that has worked greatly for me. I know have the time and privacy to practice my "gift".Eventually I manage to change without thinking too much about it. Also I decided that those two forms are all i will need. Then one day i couldn't take it anymore so i went to both my parents and showed them that i could change into a wolf. Their reaction was not as i expected. Instead of being shock or scared like those kids did that were acting as they knew that i could do that already. My dad was overjoyed.
"Yes, i knew it" he said "I was hoping you would take after me"
This was weird to him but intrigiuing.
"What do you mean after you?" he asked his dad.
"Well son you have watched the news right? Seeing all those superheros battling villains and such."
"Yeah, but what does this have to do with anything? Are you saying these are superpowers and if they are. Where did i get them from."
Then his father broke down and told him the truth.
"Son i am the superhero Shifter and now you have my powers."
"Not exactlydad i can only turn into two things."
Surprised his dad asked. "So what other living animal can you become?"
"Well its not really a living animal"
Richard stepped back away from his and and slowly changed into a werewolf. He's father again surprised him by congratulating him on a unique form and told him that next year Richard would go to the superhero high school: "Sky High."
