Chapter 11
Waiting to get better stinks. I can't remember when I've ever been this week before. Mom and Ella were so kind to me. They made me soup and kept me company when they could. It was nice, but I was still going out of my mind with worry over the flock.
Mom told me to just get some rest, but every time I close my eyes I had dreams about demon snakes and dancing Erasers. The dreams about the dancing Erasers wouldn't have been that bad if it wasn't for the fact that the annoying music stuck in my head long after the dream ended. Trust me; there are only so many times you can listen to "It's A Small World" before going crazy.
Jeb came by once or twice to see how I was doing. I asked him about the flock, but he said he hadn't heard anything.
The moment I could get out of bed without assistance, I waited till everyone was gone then dragged myself out of bed. I took a few steps before leaning against a wall to recover my breath.
In the few minutes that it took me to make it to the front door, I was covered in sweat and trembling with exhaustion. I sank down to the porch grinning with triumph and relief. The warmth of the sun and the peace lured me to sleep. I tried to resist by forcing my eyes open.
I woke up with a start. I was mildly surprised to find that I was exactly where I fell asleep. I also felt a lot better. A quick search reveled that I was alone. Since I had no clue where the library was, I decided to play with my morphing ability. I was a little worried that I had dreamed the whole thing up.
Eyes closed, deep breaths, I searched my mind for an animal to morph into. The white wolf came to mind instantly. I had already morphed into it once, I think, so I decided to try again. I began to focus. The semi-familiar feeling of itchy skin invaded my body. I felt myself begin to change.
A sudden bark jolted me out of my transformation. A long string of curses flew out of my mouth. When the cursing ended so did most of my newly found energy. I decided to go back to bed before Mom came home and yelled at me for being out of bed.
With a groan I forced myself to my feet. A flash of white caught my attention. My head whipped around. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. Waving back and forth as thought it had a life of its own was a silky white tail.
Sorry about the short chapter, but I don't have that much time. Half of this was written during math class while I pretended to do this hard math sheet WITHOUT A CALCULATOR!! Every tried to Tri/Pre-Cal problems without a Calculator? I'll update day after tomorrow. I take turns writing chapters for my two stories. I do not recommend doing this.
