Don't Unleash the Beast

Was that supposed to happen?

All Jasper could hear was her own voice in her head, and the pounding of her heart.

All she could see was blackness, and her own form., which seemed to be glowing.

Where am I?

And then, the darkness was shot through with tiny bloodred lights. At the same time, her ears started to ring, making loud noises like microphone feedback.

And she was snapped back into reality. "JASPER!" someone yelled.

Footsteps.

A tan face surrounded by dark blue hair was looking down at her.

Down?

Jasper then was aware of the school's linoleum floor underneath her.

"Jasper, are you alright?"

"Lapis, I'm fine." rumbled Jasper, standing up and brushing herself off.

Lapis still looked nervous, but entwined her hand with Jasper's anyway.

She didn't seem to notice the long claws that had started to form on Jasper's fingers.

…

It was only a few hours later until Jasper noticed them. What the-uh oh... She knew what that meant. Full moon already?

Lapis was the only one to notice how antsy Jasper was being.

And she was the only one who knew why.

Please, no one can make her angry today...no one.

Jasper was a werewolf, one of the last. Her transformation started early in the day before the full moon, and she was 100% guaranteed to accidentally lash out at anyone who annoyed her.

Lapis knew, and she was there to make sure that no one was bitten, scratched, or disemboweled.

Although, as usual, it was probably going to happen anyway.

"Jasper," she asked, noticing how Jasper was hiding her hands,"do you need to go home?"

Jasper narrowed her eyes at Lapis. "I'm FINE, Lapis, calm down."

…

Jasper felt the layer of sweat that had showed up on her upper lip and brought the sleeve of her jacket to her mouth to wipe it off. It was little things like these that usually initiated the teasing comments of unsuspecting students. Even though Lapis was there to cool things down if they heated up, Jasper still was worried. She had lost control once that day already...she didn't want to again.

A drop of sweat made its way down the side of her face. She buried her face in her hands and let out an inhuman whimper.

Lapis placed a small hand on her shoulder and smiled sadly at her. "Does it hurt?"

Jasper nodded.

Lapis turned around to face the other way, but not before Jasper thought she saw a small tear running down her girlfriend's face.

…

When the last bell rang, it was almost heaven to both Jasper and Lapis.

They ran out of the school into the cool afternoon air. Jasper's eyes had started to change from their regular brown color to a beautiful amber-gold. Lapis immediately saw Jasper starting to bend over to walk on all fours, and she scolded her,"NOT YET, Jasper, wait until you're home!"

Jasper whimpered again, but stood up, shakily walking on two feet.

"I'm sorry, Jasper, we just don't want anyone to see you..."

Jasper felt the shadow consume her heart again, and felt her blood run cold. She turned on Lapis, eyes wild. Lapis gasped. "SEE ME FOR WHO I AM!?" she yelled, clenching her fists.

"Jasper-jasper, calm down..." Lapis said, digging in her jacket pocket for something, while continuing to back away.

And then water sprayed Jasper's face from the squirt bottle aimed at her, and the darkness dissipated again. She smiled sheepishly at Lapis with glowing white fangs. "Sorry."

Lapis nodded, putting the squirt bottle back in her pocket. "I know."

…

As usual, Jasper's parents had left the house. They always did before the full moon. They had no idea on how to handle their daughter.

Jasper was laying on her bed, staring straight at the ceiling. The pain hadn't fully started yet, there were only small twinges every now and then.

Lapis was there as well, squirt bottle on the table next to her. The windows were locked, blinds down, curtains pulled. The door was locked as well. Jasper couldn't see it, but she knew there was a tranquilizer gun somewhere.

And then, at 7:00 sharp, the pain started.

Lapis knew it had, by Jasper's hyperventilating and occasional whimpers. She pulled the tranquilizer gun from her pocket and laid it on the table next to her as well, as she watched her girlfriend start to change. She knew Jasper would be in more pain than usual. The full changes didn't start till late usually, and she was always done at 12:00 midnight. That was a well-known fact.

So why did she start early this time?

Fur started slowly growing on Jasper's face, arms, hands, and legs.

…

It was 10:00 PM, and Jasper had stopped changing.

She was a wolf. A beautiful one at that, with golden eyes with kohl black centers and reddish-orange fur, her face accented with white. She was as muscular as she was when she was a human.

Lapis was concerned. This had never happened before. She had known Jasper since she had been bitten by Lapis' father while they were in New York City for New Year's.

Heck, this hadn't even happened with her parents before, and maybe even ever.

But Jasper hadn't tried to attack her yet...that was new. In fact, she had jumped off her bed, landing heavily on the floor, and padded over to Lapis, nuzzling into her hand.

Lapis stared down at Jasper, whose gold eyes were fixated on her. The blue-haired girl chuckled, petting Jasper softly. She pressed a kiss to the wolf's brownish-orange nose, and Jasper started licking her face like a domesticated dog. That was definitely new.

Lapis smiled. She started to scratch Jasper's stomach, and Jasper didn't whine.

Then she whispered in the wolf's ear,"Bite me."

Jasper immediately stopped. She looked into Lapis' eyes questioningly, searching for an explanation. Then her eyes narrowed. "Why?" she growled.

Lapis frowned. "I-I want to be like you."

Jasper shook her head hard.

"Yes, I do. Jasper, it doesn't feel fair to me that you're going through all this pain, and I'm not."

"We all only get what we deserve, Lapis."

"BITE ME, Jasper. Please." Lapis pleaded. "We can get Peridot to help us...she knows!"

Jasper sighed. She opened her mouth around Lapis' arm, and hesitantly clamped it shut.

…

Two howling wolves were at the Brook's residence that night. One orange, one greyish-blue.

They were curled up together on the orange one's bed.

The orange one was there because it was her home, and she couldn't be allowed to run free.

The grey-blue one was there only because of love.

IDK what the heck just happened, but I just wrote my longest chapter ever.

Again, if you have requests, I'll be happy to write them!
