Chapter 14

I was sitting on the porch waiting for Mom to get back. It's been three long days since my semi-morph and I still haven't managed to get rid of them yet. The only upside of this was I finally sent an email to Fang saying that I was safe and at Mom's. I didn't write about my new power. That I would have to explain in person. I sent it yesterday and still no flock. I was starting to wonder if they even got my e-mail.

Oh no, what if some scientist had them or someone else had tried to sell them? Pictures of the flock hurt and worse began to flood me brain. I quickly calmed down on them but I'd seen enough to have me shaking. I wanted to fly to them so badly it hurt. But I didn't know where to fly to. I grounded my teeth in frustration.

A fly buzzed near me and I swatted it with my tail. I stated a little when the hairs brushed against my arm. I was starting to get use to having a tail, but every now and then I completely freaked myself out again.

A low mechanical buzz reached my wolf ears. I bolted up and dashed into the house. A few minutes later, my normal ears heard the buzz. Flyboys had been making the rounds regularly every few hours for the past few days. Thanks to my wolf ears I had a good head start of them.

I waited till I couldn't hear them with any of my ears, before I warily crept back outside. The sheer boredom had me nearly foaming at the mouth. Sure, there was t.v. I could watch or books to read, but it wasn't the same without the flock. What I needed was a distraction.

I wonder of morphing into a wolf then back to a bird kid would make my neat but unwanted additions go away. I settled comfortly on the porch and began to concentrate. A warm itchy feeling rushed over my body. Within moments I was settled into my white wolf form.

My wolf form was almost becoming to feel natural, especially when I shifted to give myself wings and normal eyes. I decided to call this form my winged wolf self. I carefully stretched.

The woods around Mom's house looked so cool and inviting and the porch where I was laying was so hot. I made a split second decision and bounded into the forest. The cool shade was an instant relief.

I was really beginning to enjoy the calm when I heard screaming.
