Ch 3: The Change: Liam's Chapter

Liam sighed as she threw herself down on her bed with her brother's present. She opened it and
gasped. A beautiful garnet pendant set in gold hung from a thin gold chain. She lifted it to the
light and laughed in joy at the beautiful shards of red that shone from it. 'Conner bought this at a
craft fair???' She thought amazed. She put it on and studied it in the mirror, "I can't wait to
show it to the girls tomorrow!" she said to herself. She would have to write a special thank you
letter along with her normal one she decided. Quickly changing into her pjs and laying down in
bed she fell asleep, clutching her gift and dreaming of a happier place then this.

'Yes!' He knew 'Now is the time! Now is the time to catch her in my web!'

In the darkness Liam's necklace began to glow, pulsing an unearthly light. The light grew and
engulfed her until it was blinding and then suddenly it winked out and was gone, leaving nothing
but an empty bed.

Liam's eyes snapped open and she looked around. She was surrounded by grey and darkness.

"The Fight of a Demon."

Her head snapped towards the sound but she saw no one "What?" she started

"The Speed of a Horse"

She spun around, she thought the voice had come from behind her, "Who's there?!" she shouted
and still nothing.

"The Strength of an Ogre."

This time she thought the voice had come from her left "Who are you?!" she shouted and no
answer came.

"And the Form..."

"I don't understand!"

"Of a Wolf."

There seemed to be a final-ness to those words. Liam felt something inside of her began change.
It felt as if her insides were shifting, her bones breaking and regrowing in different positions.
She clutched her stomach and felt her knees collapse and leave her on the floor as they too broke
and regrew. She threw her head back and screamed, she could not bear the pain. The scream
turned into howl and then finally stopped. Where Liam had once stood was large black wolf,
eyes like amber. 'What's happened to me?' Liam thought desperately 'What have you done?'
she asked the voice.
This time it answered "When the One Ring is destroyed and the Ring Bearer is brought whole
and well home again then and only then will the spell be lifted."
'And until then?' she thought desperately
"When neither sun nor moon touches the Earth, then may you take human form."
'Neither sun nor moon! But that's impossible! And who is this Ring Bearer?' In answer she saw
an image in her mind of a man. She got the impression of how small he was and of the burden he
carried and then.. nothing. She blacked out and lay on the hard cold ground.

A wolf slept alone in the forests of Middle-Earth, the only sign of it's once upon a time humanity
the garnet and gold that hung on a thin chain around it's neck.
