Chapter Six

Hide-And-Go-Seek

Timothy sat on his new bed, in his new room, in his new home and sighed.

"This is too weird," he muttered. "What have I done to deserve this?" he asked the ceiling. "I've never hurt anyone, or told lies, why did this have to happen to me?" The ceiling didn't answer so Timothy just finished putting his clothes away in his new dressers.

The cloven hooves and horns had gone away around dinnertime, so when Timothy went outside his room to explore he could put on his new slippers so his feet wouldn't get cold.

"That professor guy said I might not be finished mutating," Timothy mumbled to himself as he walked down the hall and turned to go down the stairs. "What did he mean by that? That this is going to get even weirder? Arg," he stopped near the bottom of the steps when he heard voices.

"Just what I need," he grumbled, "to get in trouble on my first day and be sent back into the world to be shunned. Just great!"

The voices never got closer, in fact they seemed to be moving away from Timothy.

"I guess that was lucky," he muttered as he continued his way back down the steps. A quiet *bamf* startled Timothy, causing the horns to sprout from his forehead again.

"Does that happen every time I'm scared?" Timothy grumbled as he turned around.

Kurt was sitting on the end of the banister, his face unmoving and stern.

"Whats the matter with you?" Timothy asked.

"Shh!" Kurt hissed, his lips barely moving. "Ve're playing hide-and-go- seek. Jennifer is it."

"Can I play?" Timothy asked, excited at the thought of being included in the midnight game.

Kurt nodded ever so slightly and Timothy ran off to find a hiding spot. He stopped in a doorway and turned back to peek at Kurt.
