Chapter 5
The Bewilderment
I woke from my blackout and stretched my paws- my paws! What happened to my paws?! W-What are these? I stood up, but I was taller then I usually- my hind paws! I'm standing on my hind paws? Why am I wearing these things that those animals wear? Am I an animal now? I still have fur, but...what happened to me? I looked around, and I noticed that Falcon, Krystal, and Wolf were looking at themselves with question.
"Oh…hi F-Fox…" Falcon stuttered. Falcon was now blue and he had red feathers around his eyes. His luxurious wings were now more like the animal's forepaws. Krystal still had her attractive blue fur. Wolf was an amazing sight to me, now that he was transformed. He was startlingly strong, and his white mane was sleek down his head. His sapphire eyes were lost with thought and were like the waves of the ocean, so dazzling. Wolf's claws were as sharp as thorns, and his expression was so audacious…
"So, this isn't as bad as I thought it was…well, I'm just going to have to deal with it. Come on, we're going to make a new pack." Wolf stated as he started walking. He seemed to be used to this odd way of walking, because I felt like dropping to my paws- or whatever these are- and starting off with Wolf. But I would be with him for a long time, so he would probably laugh at me or something. So I started following him and Falcon and Krystal stuck with me.
"Hold on a second!" I whirled around to see the animal. She came dashing up to me. "Your testing result was inaccurate, I'm very sorry. You would have been something else, but…" Her voice trailed off. "It's fine, I guess." I replied. "Since you have been transformed into something much like a human-" "What's a human?" I interrupted. "It's what I am." She answered. "Anyway, since you have been transformed into something human-like, you're body parts are different. These are your hands," She pointed to her forepaws. "And arms, legs, and feet. You still have your tail, which is quite odd...but now I think you'll do fine." She finished. "Well, thanks for the help. Maybe I'll see you again sometime." I said with a smile. She dipped her head in farewell and walked back into the den. "What was that all about?" Falcon asked as he stumbled towards me. "Oh, I met her when I was transformed. She's very kind." I replied. "Uh, okay." Falcon muttered. Krystal came from behind me and grabbed my arm.
"Wow, you've really changed after the mutation..." She sighed. I rolled my eyes and started following Wolf again. Falcon was about to explode with laughter, but he held it in and walked beside me. Wolf stopped and saw a huge flying thing a few foxtails away from us, so he raced up to it. "C'mon, let's go into the ship." He motioned for us to go into the "ship", so I went along with his plan. "Er, are you sure we should do this?" Falcon asked timidly. "Yeah, we'll be fine." I answered. "We'll always be fine if you're around…" Krystal whispered to me. I ignored her comment and stepped onto the first stair of the ship.
