Chapter 7
"Are you serious?" Squall asks. I nod. "Yeah. I mean, with the exception of that harmonixer part, each of these guys describe us perfectly. David is the most protective of the group, John is a Prophet, like Aerith said, Dwayne is the hardest working, I hold the group together and Nick, well, it described him when he was younger."
Aerith seems to contemplate my explanation. "You know, she's got a very good point. She could be right. But that other part about the Soul being a harmonixer, Sam, are you sure you don't have any special powers or gifts?"
"Yeah. I don't have the powers of a harmonixer." Yuffie raises her hand and interjects. "What the heck is a harmonixer?" Squall and I groan at the look on Aerith's face. They grow louder as she launches into know-it-all mode
"A harmonixer is a person with the ability to transform into the form of a demon by fusing with its soul, which resides within the soul of its host. When the person transforms, the instincts of the demon can take hold of the host. Most often the host can control the instincts and use them to his/her advantage. Only on rare occasions does the host lose control."
"Thank you Aerith." Squall says, annoyed. "Alright, so now we know what that is we know that Sam might possibly be one."
I nearly scream in frustration. "I am not a harmonixer! I've never been able to transform into a demon." "Maybe so," Aerith replies, "But what about your display earlier? You were surrounded by a magical aura."
"And your eyes were green and catlike!" Yuffie shouts. I squirm uncomfortably. Okay, they have a good point. There is something not normal about me. But why haven't I been able to transform into a demon or some other creature?
Though before I could protest I notice that Cid had gone into one of the bedrooms. "Where's he going?" I ask Squall, who shrugs. He comes out with an old shoebox covered in dust. He sets the box on the table and steps away. Yuffie pokes the box and blows the dust off of the box, which causes the rest of us to cough.
"Cid-cough-what is in that box?" Aerith asks. "Well," He replies, "it was given to me when I was about 10 years old by some creepy old guy back in Hollow Bastion. He told me that I was to give it to someone who would need it to find something within herself. I had no idea what he meant nor did I care. I jus' wanted to be a kid and do my own thing. But somehow, after all these years it always stuck in my head. Now I think ya need whatever is in this box Sam."
I look at him in shock, then at the box. I shakily reach out and pull the box toward me and open it. Inside are two metal armbands that look as if they would cover my entire forearm. Imbedded in the metal where the metal would meet my elbows was a round, clear jewel. I take them out of the box and examine them. Nothing unusual about them. I look up at the others. Cid is just staring at me expectantly. I guess he never saw what these were. Yuffie looks like she is about to explode with anticipation. Aerith looks as if she knows something, unfortunately the glare Squall is giving her is keeping her silent.
Well, what's the worse that could happen? I strap on the armbands, silently thinking that this is going to end badly. They fit pretty well on my arms, like they were made for me. I examine them thoroughly, but I do not see anything special about them. Wait a minute, what's with the gems? The gems are turning color. "What's going on?"
The gems finally turn an emerald green color and begin to pulse violently. I stand and back away from the others. I knew this was a bad idea. I scream as the armbands burn my arms, as if they were fusing to them. The green light spreads from the gems and covers my entire body. "Cid? Aerith? What's happening to me!"
Suddenly a blinding pain assaults my entire body. It tears at every fiber of my being. I scream louder and drop to my knees. I claw at the bands, trying to tear them off. Then my body begins to contort and twist painfully. My nails grow and sharpen to claws; my muscles bulge; my skin hardens and short, blackish, grayish fur appears; my canines lengthen and the rest of my teeth become sharper; my forehead nearly splits open as two horns appear and curl around the sides of my head and end just under my ears like a ram's and a feral instinct takes over my body as the pain and the light ebbs away. When it is gone I rise to my feet slowly and glance around the room. The others are staring at me in shock. I turn to a mirror near the bathroom and walk toward it. Oh my god, I look like some sort of cat creature! Even my eyes are catlike!
I look back down at the armbands and the gems are now pulsing green. Oh no. The gems become an aqua blue color and the color spreads across my body. Pain racks my body again but it is lesser than before. The claws and fangs disappear but my teeth remain sharp; my skin becomes smooth and slippery and webbing grows between my fingers and my toes; the horns vanish and the cat eyes disappear. When the pain is gone I take a deep breath of air. Or I try and I figure out that I can't breathe! I can't draw in air! I grab the sides of my neck and I feel gills under my fingers. I gasp for air and sink to my knees as the lack of oxygen starts to blacken my vision.
Just as I nearly black out I breathe a huge gulp of air and a new pain wracks my body. My skin becomes shrunken, gray and dead looking, like a corpse; the claws and the fangs come back and the webbing disappears. I stand when I finish transforming and look in the mirror. I can't decide whether I look like a corpse, a vampire, or both. The gems are pulsating an evil purple this time.
Then they become a fiery orange and I begin to transform again, hopefully for the last time. My muscles bulge again and my skin hardens but this time becomes a bronze color. My body temperature rises and my body feels as if it's on fire. I scream again, this time louder than I have the other times. I drop to my knees in relief when the pain is gone.
I shakily drag myself to my feet as I then glow a cloudy white color. Though as I turn back to normal I don't feel any pain. I sway back and forth on my feet and fall into Squall's arms as he catches me and guides me to a chair. He sets me down gently and takes a seat next to me. I breathe deeply for a bit before speaking. "Well, I guess I'm a harmonixer."
Sorry, still revising. I'll have the others up again ASAP with some new ones. Again, sorry!
