I was in my fourth hour class waiting, not paying attention. I was more interested in my drawings. I was sketching a panther. I black panther. I don't know why or how, but I have always been interested in cats. I don't mean house cats, I mean like Jaguars. Panthers, Lion and Tigers. I always had a fascination since I was little. Though I don't own any cats, but I do have a bunch of cat posters in my room. In not a nerd or anything I am probably the hottest guy at school. The bell rang thankfully.
It was lunch time, and thank god by that. The bad side if this was that the dance was coming up. All the girls looked at me hoping that I would say yes. It was always the same question? Even if I turn them down they would come back the next week and tell me the same question again. Uh. Don't get me wrong the girls in my school are hot, but the problem is I'm not into girls. I'm gay, though I haven't told anyone yet. Well not true I told my friend Angela, but that's about it. I had gone out with a lot of girls before I realize I wasn't straight. Yeah, that was a big shock to me.
Flashback:
I went into the boy's locker room after P.E. We have showers thought most of the guys choose not to take a shower and smell like sweat and dirt all day. I was one of the few that took a shower that day. I never really looked at a guy or even thought of being with a guy. I took off my clothes and turn the shower head on. After a few seconds the shower next to me turned on, I look to see who it was.
It was Mark, I didn't know why but I move my eyes slowly over his body. Tracing every line of muscle that sculpted his chest. I went lower to over his abs that just looked delicious. Then my eyes landed on his cock. What can I tell you, it was big. Then he turned around like he knew I wanted to see the rest of his body and bend over, I almost moan when I saw that perfect ass.
I then notice I had a problem going down there. So I turned the shower off and walk as quickly back to my locker putting my boxers and pants back on. I didn't care that school was not over yet I went to my car in the parking lot and drove home. I was panicking all the way home.
What the hell is wrong with me. I can't like guys that was just I don't know I'm not gay. Though he did look delicious, his chest and stomach…God. No. I like girl I always have, there boobs, the curvy body, and then it hit me. I was getting turned off by that. My hard cock was going down. Shit. Why does my life have to suck.
End of Flashback
Back to the present
I was in line to get lunch Angela was going off how Eric had not asked her to the dance yet. I like Angela, but sometimes she can get annoying. I was about to grab a pudding when Jessica stood in front of me.
"So Mike", here we go "do you want to go to the dance with me?"
"Jessica…"didn't get to finish
"Before you say no I'm having a party after the dance and my parents will be out "she traced my jaw with her finger. "You could stay over and we can…" yeah I knew what she was implying. Just the thought if Jessica and I was making my stomach to hurt.
"Look Jessica, that's all cool, but I'm not going to the dance with you. Period, don't ask again" I said grabbing my pudding and pulling Angela towards our table. Bella was already there with Edward. When I first met Bella I was still thinking I was straight and tried to go out with her. Now that I think about it Bella is and average looking girl, with really pale skin. Edward on the other hand I would pounce on him if Bella ever broke up with him. I could just kiss those lips all day.
"Mike what do you think I should do" I was not paying attention to her, but I guess she was still talking about Eric.
"Don't worry I'll make sure he goes out with you" I smiled down at her. Angela was like baby sister. I always was there for her after a break up or something that was bugging her. I also kick whoever's ass that made fun of her.
"Mike don't go kicking his ass if he say no o.k.?" she said. I just rolled my eyes and hit me beside the head.
"Yeah Mike, remember Mark" Bella said. Mark was an ass wipe that needed a good ass kicking. He was cheating on Angela with Alexis. I beat the son of bitch to a pulp.
"I can control myself Bella"
"Well we all know how you have a blind spot when it comes to Angela" Edward said pulling Bella closer to him.
"Yeah you do Mike" Angela told me. Fine they don't want me to be there for her. Alright.
"Fine, next time some guy breaks up with you or you need help, I'm going to turn the other way" I said crossing my arms over my chest and leaning back on my chair.
"Stop pouting Mike" Bella said
"I am not pouting"
"Did you guys remember when I told you my friend Jacob is transferring here to Forks High School"
"Yeah how can we not. You're talking about him every second of everyday" I said rolling my eyes. Bella has talked about Jacob like he is some kind of god.
"He starts next week, be nice to him" Bella warned glaring at us.
We all burst out laughing, even Edward who she elbowed. Bella was a lot of things, but not scary and you couldn't take her seriously. I was about to say something back when the bell rang.
"Let's go Angela" I said standing up and grabbing my tray.
"You go ahead I'm going to ask Eric to the dance" I raised my eyebrow.
"You sure about that"
"What did you say you were going to do"
"Alright, I'm going"
"Bye Mike, Happy early birthday"
"Later, Bella."
"Bye, Mike. Oh and have a great birthday" she said waving bye to me like crazy
"Later Edward" he just nodded and stood up
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Well not really Jessica was still nagging me about going to the dance with her. Thankfully Angela saved me after class. We walked to my car. I didn't have the nest car, but it got me from point A to B. Angela had a car, but she crashed into a light post. Her parents haven't giving her car back. Now I'm stuck driving her home and every other place she can think off.
As I pulled my car into the drive way I notice that both my parents cars where there. That was weird, they usually don't get home till seven. I climbed out and headed towards the door. I could hear my parents arguing, which was weird my parents never fight. I opened the door and walked into the now quiet living room. My mom was sitting on the sofa while my dad was standing up awkwardly. Mom was called Maria Newton, she had blonde hair and green eyes, and light skin like mine. She looked more like she was twenty not forty. My dad was the completely opposite he was dark skin, brown eyes and black hair. He also seemed like he was twenty than forty. Sometimes people thought I was his little brother. My dad was named Michelangelo Newton. He took my mom's last name for a weird reason. I was named after him. Though my mom just calls me Mike and my dad Michael.
"Mike could you sit please" my mom said looking at my father. More like glaring at him, my father glaring right back, Alright. I went to sit on the other sofa opposite of my dad and my mom. Who looked like they were going to kill each other.
"Mike have you had any hot flashes or have grown any hair" my mom said. Was she trying to talk about puberty with me?
"Mom I know what puberty is and trust me I'm fine. We don't need to discuss this" I said standing up.
"Sit Mike" my father snapped. I sat back down, not even arguing. My father never really screamed or yelled at me. So when he told me to sit I did.
"Now answer the question Mike" my father said, calmly.
"Yes I have had hot flashes, but that might be from watching too much TV or being dehydrated. I have chest hair, could I go now" this was getting weird.
"Mike has you vision change, hearing, smell or taste" This was getting more than weird.
"Why do you want…?"
"Mike just answer the question" my mom snapped.
"Yes. I am able to see clearly now, without my contacts. I am able to hear people that across the room talking. I can smell thing that I couldn't' before, I also food that I used to like taste like crap to me now. Why do you want to know this?" my father looked at my mom and nodded
"Mike you might believe this or think were crazy, but where not human, well not entirely" my mom said looking dead in the eyes, which made me feel uncomfortable.
"What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean were not entirely human?" I said kind of sounding pissed.
"Were not entirely human Mike were…Bastets" my father said
"First of all what the hell is a Bastets. Second I think you guys are all crazy" Mike said standing up
"Bastets or were cats as most people know us as. We are similar to werewolves the difference is that we change into felines. Our families came from Europe, and settled here. My family came from Spain while your mother side came from Poland. We are a race that is scarce. There are not many left of us, for some reason or another. Unlike werewolves we can change back and forth between our feline form and human form or somewhere in between. We don't need the full moon to change. We can control ourselves when we do change instead of running around and killing everything. We also can walk on all fours or stand up straight like a human. We also don't age, at least if we keep shifting. I know that this is all much to digest, so do you have any questions" my father ended. What the hell? Do I have any questions, hell I do. Just dumping all this bull shit on me.
"Yes I do, first question, how can I believe any of this? Second, if you are a were cat then how come I never seen you in your feline form? Third why are you telling me this now?"
"Mike to answer your first question" my mom said standing up and in a split second she was in front of me. Well I thought she was, in her place was a snow lynx. I took a step back and she came closer. I'm going to lie I was scared. Yeah it might be a cat, but a big cat, with sharp teeth and nails like daggers. I was pushed all the way up against the wall, the lynx stopped and looked at me.
"Is that my mom?" I asked my father
"Yes that is. Your mother can change in to a lynx and…" and right on mark the lynx transformed into a normal house cat. "…house cat and to answer your second question, you have seen your mom in her feline form" he pointed a finger at the cat. Then as I look closer it was that strange cat that came to my window every night. It would sleep with me and in the night it wouldn't be there I the morning. The cat crawled um my leg and up my shirt onto my shoulder. It lay there licking my face.
"Maria stop that "my father said. She did and jumped down and went to my father.
"As to answer your third question, you are coming of age. You will start to feel yourself change. Your body will change physically and as your mom said before your senses will enhance. We can't tell you what you can transform into. It is different for all of us"
"So your telling me that I am becoming a big cat" I said
"Yes, well not a cat specifically, but you got it right"
"Could you give me a moment" I said sliding down onto the floor. God this was going to take a getting used to. It's not every day that you get told that you're a cat. So I was going to change into a cat. So my parents lie to me all these years. I had so many questions and thing I wanted to say.
"Mike the changes takes place the day of your birthday" So what does that…oh. My birthday is tomorrow. Fuck.
"How long those it take"
"A day at the most, the first few hours are going to be very painful and uncomfortable. Your bones will grow, you body will change. Your senses are going to become more sensitive and alert. You're going to have heads for a while till you get used to all the noise.
After that you will be able to change into whatever form you can. You might be thinking how and I'm going to change. Well a picture of a feline will come to your head. Just thinking and concentrating is going to cause you to change into your feline form. Once you do it enough you will be able to change easily as breathing"
"Could I go to my room and sleep on this" I asked
"Yes, we will be with you once you start going thru your change. Hopefully its quick, have a goodnight sleep. I'll see you tomorrow" my father said. My mom ran up to me and nudges me on my legged and purred.
I walked up to my room slowly, thinking of what just happen.
A/N : I know some of you might be going like what the hell. You can go online and find more about were cats and Bastets. Hopefully you enjoyed it. I wrote this more for my friends that anything. She told me to write a story about Mike and Jacob. I was going to write a quick story, but this came out. I like it.
