In a time where science and superstition ruled. It was a time where a high crime couldn't be stopped and the citizens of Metrolopolis needed a hero.
A boy, age fourteen, named Brandon was about to do what his parents didn't want him to. He was gonna go to fight crime but what other people didn't know, that Brandon's family knew, was that Brandon was a shape shifter. He could shape shift into a wolf, a bear, and a gorilla.
That night, Brandon snuck out wearing nothing but some shorts, and he runs off towards the city, and stays in the shadows. He transforms into a wolf and speeds towards the bank because that's where the crime was occurring. By the time that he got there, the robbers were in the side alley trying to make a break for it.
Still in his wolf form he says, "Alright. Time to drop the money and jewels, and turn yourselves over to the police!"
They turned around to look and saw nothing but Brandon in his wolf form and they laughed and one of them said, "And who's gonna stop us? A little wolf like you?"
Brandon jus shrugged and replied, "It's your funeral!" He stood on his back legs and transformed into his gorilla form straight from his wolf form. The transformation struck terror into their hearts. One moment they were looking into the face of a gorilla and the next thing they knew they were on their backs looking up at the cops and being hauled off to jail.
After the police carried off the thieves, Brandon hurried home only to have his parents waiting for him when he got there. "Where'd you go this time?" his mother asked.
"Why? So you can ground me again?" he retorted
"Don't strike that tone with your mother, Brandon!" his father said. "Now answer the question."
"You know this is dangerous for us!" his mother stressed. "Especially for you seeing how you have your metamorphosis ability."
"I'm sorry but I refuse to be on lock down like a caged animal just because you're scared and a worrywart!"
Next day, Brandon goes to school and his friend, Jason, comes up to him and says, "B! Did you hear about what happened at the jewelry store downtown?"
"What's up J!" replied Brandon. "Na, what happened?"
"A few guys got caught and they were rambling on about some weird wolf that changed into a gorilla."
"Na! I didn't hear about it."
All of a sudden a beautiful girl steps in front of them. Brand asks, "Yo J! Who is she?"
"Oh her! Her name Ashley. She is in my next period class!"
Ashley hears Jason say her name and turns around. "Hey Jason. You say my name?"
"Ya but I was just telling my friend Brandon here who you were." He replied
"O ok!" she says checking Brandon out.
When she leaves, Jason's jaw drops and he whispers to Brandon, "Dude! Was she checking you out?"
All Brandon could do was just nod and then heads to class. After class, Brandon runs into Ashley in the hall and Ashley drops her books. Brandon helps pick up her books and Ashley says, "Thanks. You're Jason's friend, right?"
"Ya. Brandon."
"Brandon ok. Well Brandon, there's a party at my house tonight if you wanna come" she says handing him a piece of paper with her address on it.
"Iight thanks. I'll be there!" he replied with a smile.
After Ashley leaves, Jason comes over and asks, "B! What just happened?"
"Party invite dawg!"
After school, Brandon heads home and gets ready. He gets a ride from his dad. When they get there his dad says, "I'm lifting your shape shifting restriction for your way home but not for the duration of the party, ok?"
"Ok. Thanks dad." He says as he gets out of the car.
Ashley greets him and says, "I hope it wasn't too hard to find the house."
"Na. I found it alright." He replied.
They went inside and the party was just getting started. Ashley didn't spend anytime with any other guy except for Brandon. During the party Ashley asked, "You having a good time Brandon?"
"Ya the party's awesome!" he replied.
The party ended at 2:30 in the morning. When Brandon was about to walk out Ashley said, "Brandon hold up!" Brandon stopped and turned back towards Ashley and she gave him a kiss. "I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Ya. Where do you wanna meet?"
"How about right here?" she replied
He turned and left and he stepped into the night. As she watched him, she asked, "Brandon! You got a ride home?"
"No! I'm just going to run home!"
"I can give you a ride."
"It's alright." As he said that he took off his shirt and took off at a speed that shocked Ashley. When he was sure nobody was looking he turned into his wolf form, and ran home, and walked through the front door in his human form and fully dressed.
"How was the party?" his dad asked
"It was fun dad." Brandon replied
"The next day Brandon went back to Ashley's house. He got there around eleven. He knocked on the door and her father answered the door. Brandon just smiled and said, "Hello, sir. Is Ashley home?"
Without a smile he replied, "Come on in, son. I'll call her down." Brandon came in when Ashley's dad gestured him in and just stood there waiting for Ashley.
"So what's your name son?" Ashley's dad asked
"Brandon, sir."
"Well Brandon, you keep my daughter safe and happy, got it?"
"Yes, sir. I will, sir." He replied
At that moment, Ashley comes down the stairs and says in a low tone, "Hi Brandon."
Brandon whirls around and becomes absolutely speechless. He manages, when Ashley is right in front of him, to say, "HHi! Ashley…Wow! You look amazing!"
She laughs, "You don't look bad yourself. You ready to go?"
"Ya let's go."
"Bye daddy." Ashley said to her dad
When they were out of the house, Ashley asked, "How'd you get here?"
"Walked!"
Ashley laughed, "You're crazy but I like that."
"How'd you get home last night?" Ashley asked staring at Brandon. "Because it seems like you're not human."
Brandon's face didn't look too happy. "There's a part of me that my parents don't want me to show!" he replied
"Why?" Ashley asked wondering
"Because it scares people really easily."
"What are you? Some kind of shape shifter or something?"
"Yea. Exactly that."
"No way! Really?" she squeaked excitedly
"Ya." Brandon said shocked
"What can you turn into?"
"A wolf, bear, and a gorilla."
"So that's how you got home so fast!"
He jus nodded
"Turn into your wolf form please!" Ashley begged
"Alright but you have to swear not to tell anybody!"
"Can I tell my friends or family?"
"Nope not even them."
"So it can be our little secret?"
"Ya. Jason and my family are the only other people that know."
"Cool and I swear that I won't tell a single soul!"
"Ok." Brandon said satisfied. He took off his shirt and handed it to Ashley and asked, "Hold onto it for me?"
She nodded and took the shirt. Brandon transformed right in front of her and she just gazed at him. When he was done, she said in a whisper, "Magnificent!" Brand just rolled his wolf eyes, went round her, and under her legs so that she was sitting on his back.
He asked with his wolf voice, "Where now beautiful?"
"Wait! Wait? You can talk?" she asked
"Ya."
"Go down two blocks, make a left and go four houses on your left."
"Ok." Brand says then he takes off with Ashley clutching tightly.
When they got there, she got off and her hair was all windblown. "What now?" he asked her still in his wolf form.
"Gorilla form and we gonna climb into that room." Ashley said pointing to a window on the second floor and third from the right.
Brandon just transformed into his gorilla form and when he was done and about to climb, Ashley jumped on his back. Ashley opened the window when they got there and they climbed through the window. "This is my best friend Nikki's house. Just hide in the closet and I'll call you!"
Brandon just looked at her and she catches on and says, "Don't worry! I won't tell your secret." Brandon just transforms back into his human form and hides in the closet. A couple minutes later, Nikki comes into the room and says, "Ashley! How'd you get in my room?"
"I climbed and your window was open as well."
"You can't climb, Ashley!" Nikki said skeptically
"Who said I was alone?"
"Where is he Ashley?"
"Brandon can you come out please?" Ashley called and Brandon stepped out of the closet.
He looked at Ashley and asked, "Ashley, can I have my shirt back please?"
Nikki just realized that he wasn't wearing a shirt and asked stunned, "Ashley, who is this person?"
"His name's Brandon. He goes to school with us." She replied as she handed Brandon his shirt and he put it on.
"Where to now Ashley?" he asked lying on the bed
"I don't know just yet." She answered gesturing if she could lie down on top of him and he nodded. She layed down on top of him and he wraps his hand round her gently.
After awhile, Ashley got a little restless and her phone rings. She answers it and says, "Ya…He's here with me…Alright bye!"
"What's up?" Brandon asked
"Police wanna talk to us down at the station now."
