Chapter 1
'Where am I?' Was the first thought that came to mind when I woke up. I tried to move but my body refused to move, I couldn't even move my head. Everything was just numb. I was stuck laying on my back, staring up at the stars. The stars seemed to have a calming affect on me and soon I felt myself drifting off into a slumber. 'I guess I can sleep for a little bit?' Was the last thing I thought before I closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes for the second time the sun was up but it was slowly starting to go down. I could feel my body this time, it was very sore. I tried to see if I could move but the only response I got was my fingers and toes twitching a little bit. I continued to lay there waiting until I could move again. Eventually the soreness in my body left and I could move my limbs but by that time it was already dark. The first thing I did was roll over so I could prop myself up with my hands. I was about to stand up when I suddenly got a splitting headache. It felt like someone shoved a hot poker into my brain. I grabbed my forehead with my expecting to feel my flesh but I only felt what I think is bone. I froze. I slowly brought my hand away from my face to get a good look at it. I felt my heart stop when instead of looking at my hand, I was looking at a large, black fur covered hand with inche long white claws at the end of each finger. I started shaking and my breathing started to become faster. I was hyperventilating.
I got up and ran. I kept tripping and stumbling but I didn't care I just kept running. Eventually I tripped over a small rock and tumbled forward. I stopped in front of a river. I slowly got on my knees and looked into the water to see my reflection. Gone was my tan skin, and dark brown borderline black hair and eyes. In its place was a large wolf-like head covering black fur, white bone like mask with violet pattern like lines running down it, and violet eyes with black sclera. I brought my hands up to my mouth filled with large sharp teeth and bit down, hoping it was just a dream. I let out a pained yelp/whimper when pain flared through my hand and blood started to run down my hand into my mouth. When I felt the coppery fluid in my mouth I spit it out and dunked my head into the water. I kept my head under the water until I ran out of breath. I lept away from the river and landed in a crouched position. I slowly stood up and looked down to examine myself. I looked like a bipedal wolf-like creature covered in black fur. I had five bone like protrusions coming out of my arms and a large bone spike coming out of my elbow. I reached back to feel my back only to feel two bone spikes coming out of my shoulder blades and about 5 more bone-like spikes going down my spine starting from my mid back to my tailbone where a large black tail extended out about 2 feet in length. I couldn't help but feel like I had seen this before. I let out a frustrated sigh before looking up at the night sky.
I froze for the second time that day.
The moon was shattered.
I started shaking again.
My heart speed up.
My breathing pick up.
Then everything clicked into place.
I passed out with one final thought, 'What happened, why the hell am I on remanent, and why am I a god damn Beowolf?!'
I woke laying on my back for the third time but instead of waking up naturally I woke up when I felt something wet fall on my face. I scrunched up my face and rolled over only to get hit with another drop, I was about to ignore it until they started to come down faster. That was when I realized it was raining. I opened my eyes and stared up at the moon again. Looks like I was only asleep for a couple of hours. I tried to let out a sigh but it came out as a quiet growl. 'That's right, I'm a Beowolf now.' I tried to say something but everytime I tried to say something it only came out as growls, barks, and howls. I gave out a frustrated growl and sat down with my back against a tree. I held my hand up to my chin and sat in a classic thinking pose. 'If I'm a Beowolf then that means I have no soul right? If so then why am I thinking clearly and not hunting people down like a predator? Unless I have a soul inturn an aura and semblance. But that's physically impossible. Grimm are soulless monsters with black fur, white bone armor, and red eyes. Wait my eyes are violet as well as the lines on my mask. Does that mean I have aura or does that just mean I'm different from other Grimm. Do I have to eat people, or do I have to eat wildlife, maybe I have to eat other Gri-' My train of thought was interrupted when my instincts screamed at me to move.
I jumped to the side as another Beowolf lunged at the spot where I was sitting before. It was roughly the same size as me maybe a few inches shorter but that made it a little faster. I backed up and held my arms up to defend myself but it felt awkward. I didn't have time to complain because the Beowolf already lunged at me again. I was right with my earlier statement, it is faster than me, I didn't have time to move out of the way only cover my face from getting bitten. The Beowolf bit down on my right arm and pain flared through my limb. I let out a pained yelp as the Beowolf started to flail it's head around with my arm still in its mouth, causing more damage. Eventually it swung me around with all of its strength and threw over its shoulder. I hit the ground painfully and skid on my back. I was about to get up when the Beowolf clamped down on my left leg. I let out another pained yelp, except this one was louder. I threw me over its shoulder again and I slammed into a tree. I slid down the tree and landed in a pained heap on the ground. I tried to move but I was in too much pain to move. I couldn't feel my right arm or my left leg, but I bet they were both bleeding out, staining the forest floor crimson.
At this point I gave up. I couldn't move, I was hungry, I was scared, I was still tired, and even if I could move I doubt I could win this fight. I let out a ragged breath and slumped against the tree that I was thrown in. I slowly looked up into the eyes of my soon to be killer. Is this what prey feels like before the predator eats them. I have never felt so weak in my life before. Helpless. Weak. Scared. These were the thoughts that went thru my mind when I slowly closed my eyes. The Beowolf slowly walked over to me, almost as if it was taunting me. It paused right in front of me and slowly brought its head towards my throat. In that moment I felt something deep within me stir.
No
I am not going to die here. The feeling inside of me started to grow, almost like a maelstrom of raw power and energy was surging through me. My body stopped hurting, my right arm and left leg stopped hurting. I felt the power gather inside of me growing with every passing moment, then it started to gather in my right arm. The Beowolfs teeth were inches away from tearing my throat out, when I snapped my eyes open and launched a thunderous right hook at the Beowolfs head using all of my strength. I felt the Beowolfs skull shatter, my knuckles crack, and the Beowolfs neck snapping from the hit before getting thrown away from the force of the hit. I looked down at my arm to see all of my previous wounds had healed and my arm was surrounded by a violet glow, I felt my knuckles healing from the hit as well. The Beowolf gave out one last pained gurgle before falling silent as it died.
I fell to my knees when a sudden wave of drowsiness hit after the violet glow went away. 'Was that my aura?' I asked myself as I looked down at my black furred clawed hand. I was about to get up when my stomach growled and realised I was twice as hungry as I was before. I clutched my stomach when I suddenly smelt something. It was food. I got up, closed my eyes, and followed the scent. I stopped in front of something and opened my eyes. It was the Beowolfs corpse, I thought the bodies of Grimm dissolved after death. I would have questioned it further but my stomach growled again. My mouth started to water as I slowly looked down at the corpse. I didn't want to eat it but my body wasn't listening to me. I slowly knelt down next to the corpse and inched my way towards its hide. It took one last sniff before I lost all self restraint. I lurched forward and clamped my jaws down on its hide.
