Chapter 2: disguised
The cloaked female handed her an amulet. "This is a magical charm to help restrain your powers. Use it well. Goodbye and good luck. I know I have given you a heavy burden to carry, but I know you can handle it. The powers are easy enough to use for good or bad, but is you acceptance in the world that you must worry about."
That was the last thing she said before she was gone. Sam flew home that night, finding the abilities of a bird to be quite useful. "I wonder how to use this amulet thingy… At least it isn't too big and chunky to wear under my clothes at school", she thought.
When Sam woke up the next morning, the first thought to pop into her head was "Humph. I'm surprised I got any sleep at all with that weird dream." The though stuck to her head repeating itself until she looked in her mirror. "It was just a dream. "It was just a dream. Just a dre...!?" Everything except her eyes and ears were normal. Her once beautiful violet coloured eyes now held specs of green and gold when she moved them and her ears… "Oh my gosh!!!" was all she could say, though her mind was buzzing with things like "Pointed? Am I an elf? How am I ever going to hide this from Danny and Tucker!?" True enough, her ears were no longer their regular curved shell, but were now about twice as large with a pointy end.
Suddenly, she got and idea in her head and concentrated on the first animal that popped into her mind. Sure enough, after a few seconds, a large black cat sat in front of the mirror. "Cool!" she thought. Changing back into a human, she skipped down the hall, grabbed her knapsack and raced out of the door. Instead of putting her knapsack on properly, she tied the arm straps around her stomach and changed into a large black dog and ran the rest of the way to school. (All of her forms are black because black is the colour of her hair)
All day, she was paranoid about whether or not her hair was covering her ears or not.
"What? Did you get another piercing or something?" was all Danny said about her odd behavior.
Later, when he was back at home, he decided to go talk to Jazz about his ghost powers, though he was fairly sure she already knew about it. His sisters room, oddly enough was empty and when he asked his parent where she was, they just shrugged and turned back to the testing of the newest Fenton ghost translator.
"Danny, could you say something? We want to see if all of the translators have the same side effect." Said his mother.
"Boo."
"I am a ghost. Fear me." Said the machine in a squawky metallic voice.
"Well, I guess I'd better be off. I have to ask Jazz something." He said and skipped away from his parent's disappointed faces.
"Well, I guess I'd better be off. I have to ask Jazz something. Fear me." Came the reply from the little machine.
