Chapter 2: Chapter 2 A Startling Discovery
Chapter 2- A Startling Discovery
My whole underside was cold, so very cold. I was slowly regaining consciousness, and I tried to move as little as possible. It hurt just to breathe, my everything was throbbing. I eventually got used to the pain, and tried to open my eyes to see what was happening, or where I was.
I was met with nothingness. When my eyes got used to the light and stopped throbbing, I could make out several holes in a gray wall that were probably supposed to let in light and air, but the world outside was just as dark as the one I was in.
I lay there for a while, collecting my thoughts. What happened to me? Where could I be? Why does God hate me? All these questions and more passed through my head when it all rushed back to me.
I went to put my hand to my head when I felt something strange. My brow was unnaturally hairy. And there was some strange… thing on my forehead. I went to put my hand down, when I saw something that completely turned my head around.
My hand had been turned into a paw! I could barely make it out, but there was definitely a change of fingers. I played around a bit, and discovered my claws. They were surprisingly sharp.
But enough about that, I thought, what the hell happened to me? That doctor! That injection! The pain! So, what's the damage? I tried to position myself in this cramped metal space so I could see myself. After several failed attempts, I gave up. Then, a dim light burst through the holes in my….thing. I officially decided to call it a cage. I was an animal in a cage, how perfect!
The part of my cage with the holes slid upwards, and light flooded in. I was temporarily blinded, but then I heard voices.
"Subject E-209, John Sauter. The cancer was completely decimated." Well that's good news, I thought. "The transformation was successful, and is complete. Vital signs are regular, and subject should be waking soon." Transformation? So it is all their fault!
"Good, good. Move him to holding pen 304 then. When he awakens and eats his fill, move him to the observation room. I'll be waiting."
"Yes sir, Mister Slater Sir!" said the first voice militarily, closing the cage.
I could feel the cage being pulled forward and drop suddenly. I let out a small whelping noise as I was now vertical. Then I was carried a small distance to what I guess was the "holding pen" I had heard about. I was horizontal again as the cage was jerked forward once more. Then the front part of my cage slid open and I was forced out by the back part.
The holding pen was small, but bigger than the cage, and had a water bowl beside a dish of kibble. I slowly crawled to the water so I could use it as a mirror to see what these people had done to me.
I was startled to see that my brown hair had been replaced by lavender fur, which was strangely in a similar fashion as my old hair was, with a piece of it falling over my left eye.
My deep, blue eyes had gotten somewhat bigger, and way deeper than I remembered. There was some sort of red Jewel on my forehead, which explained the bump. And my ears were so massive! And pointy! I turned around, and sure enough, there was the long Y-shaped tail that marked me as an Espeon. The psychic-type Eevee evolution. If I was stuck as a pokemon, I'm glad it was one with possible fangirls. There was a possibility of an upside here.
My brain was worried about my appearance, but my stomach wasn't. I was almost forced over into the kibble bowl, but my mouth wouldn't work because of the shock I was experiencing. A pokemon, really? A pokemon! A mother-fricken pokemon!
I decided that, whatever happened next, I would need strength, so I took a bite of Kibble. My eyes widened when I found that the pokemon-chow was super delicious! I finished the bowl in ten seconds flat! But eating it all may not have been the best idea, because even though I did not know it, I had a very angry cell-mate with me who was just as hungry.
