new dawn chapter 3
Authors note: hi! I'm saying if you bother to read this, thanks. Means a lot to me. Also, my chapters may be short, but I plan to do a lot of them.
So hold onto your butts, and read on! ;)
Wolfie out!
I watched as the battle began, remembering the characters from when I was 10. As I watched I wondered why I had the flashback. Didn't explain WHY I was a cat (maybe) , but I actually liked it. It felt... Nice. Comfortable, fast, and strong.
Robin took on gizmo, waving his metal staff at him, trying to get a hit in past his technology.
Raven was fighting jinx, a magic vs. magic fight. Raven was battering her with objects coated in black magic.
Starfire was against Billy numerous, wiping out his clones rapidly with green eye ray things.
Beast boy was charging at mammoth, in the form of a green bull. Cyborg from behind aimed a cannon, shooting the giant with a blue electric ball.
Instead of really stupid, like on the TV show, it was kinda exciting and entertaining.
Ish
Soon the battle ended, and police came to pick them up, and drove off.
The titans left and went into the T-car, and drove off, to either Ice cream or the tower.
I hated to admit it, but I was out of ideas. I didn't want to ask for help as a cat, but I needed help. I knew twenty bucks could a short bit, but I couldn't go to the store in my state.
Retreating to the back of the alley, I located a clean box, dry under a tarp and nicely sized.
I scanned my surrounding, and focused on a worn out blanket, lying in the shadows. Gripping it in my mouth, I dragged it over to the box, and placed it inside. the box layed on its side, and the blanket provided a bed.
"first home." I said, feeling accomplished. To my own surprise, I let out a deep, satisfied purr. First purr. stepping out of the box, I found an area big enough to pace in. I started thinking about the flashback, and very soon I noticed something. "Boy, Am I stupid." They memory told her she could have a superpower! I felt somewhat giddy. that explains a lot. I thought. Then a problem came into mind. How do you shapeshift? I decided to think of an animal, and think myself as it.
I took a dog as my first try. My eyes closed, I tried to concentrate. I had an image of a dog in my mind, cute and fluffy, with brown fur. Ears hanging off of its furry head. I kept the image in my mind, and opened my two eyes. I felt taller, and happily I turned my head back. As I thought, There was a brown furry body, and at the end, there was a little tail, wagging. "AWESOME!" I exclaimed, and the words actually came out as human words. My happiness resulted in a bark, or yip.
This was getting better by the minute.

It was later in the day, nearing sunset. I had mastered a few forms, and how to change between a dog, cat, bird (which resulted in a blue jay) , and a monkey. (I got bored at one point, and wanted thumbs.) It was tiring, but easier than it was a few hours ago. Then I realized I was hungry.
Usually I was always wanting to eat. Once mom called me a bottomless pit. Then I suddenly remembered that I was never to see mother again. To my surprise, I didn't miss her. at all.
Shaking the thought put of my mind, I turned to the new problem: how to be human.
Bit of a problem.
Just a bit.
turning into the monkey form (it has fingers), I sifted through the satchel. It held way to much that could fit in that size, yet on the outside it seemed to hold only very little. It was awesome. Pulling out something I had found earlier, it was a picture of myself on the last picture day.
Concentrating once more, I imagined myself as... well, myself. As a human though. Feeling the sign it was working, A slight tingle went through my body. Opening my eyes again, I was at a normal height, and I had hands. Looking over myself, I thought I actually looked good cartoony-like.
Brushing off my clothes, I made sure I looked presentable, and with my satchel around my neck, I looked for the nearest grocery store. It wasn't to hard to find, and it felt good to be walking on two legs. Though I must admit I liked four.
Reaching the store, a sign was labeled 'food bear'. "Cheesy." I mumbled, walking into the building to get some things to help me start my new life, namely food. Grabbing a basket, I looked at the signs hanging over the separate aisles. Finding one I was looking for, I disappeared into it.
I stepped out of the store, two bags clutched in my hands. I bought some Canned food that wouldn't kill me if not heated, a few small bottles of pop, a little milk, and a large bag of Cheetos, which was a relief to know, since I love them to death. While I was inside, I saw the titans leader, Robin. Shopping for food, which I suspect the rest of the team was too lazy to do. Later, back as a cat and in my new 'home', I couldn't stop thinking on what to do. I knew I should go and talk to the teen titans, but I didn't want to so fast. I was worried if they would decline.
Eventually I fell asleep, releasing small purrs occasionally.
/time skip/
I awoke to bird's tweeting.
Blinking open my eyes, I yawned and stretched my black furry body. Before I fell asleep, I made a mental to-do list. One of the main goals on there was to find a animal to be a fighting form. I wanted to do a big cat, such as a lion or tiger, but my mind wandered to the flashback. I had wanted to also be able to transform into mythical creatures. so my imagination took over, and I picked a dragon. Ability to breathe fire, and fly. So again, like I had done to my other forms, I put an image of the dragon I wanted in my head, and concentrated.
When I opened my eyes again, I quickly looked at myself. I was the size of a medium dog (smaller), and had black scales with a very dark blue underbelly. "That worked!" I cheered to myself. to test, I flapped my new wings, and took to the air. I didn't leave the alley, for the citizens wouldn't like a real dragon flying everywhere. So I went back to a cat, and looked outside my home alleyway.
Then I heard voices. turning my head, I looked in the back of the alley. There were three figures, one normal sized, one absolutely humongous, and one a midget. I recognized them as Jinx, Mammoth, and Gizmo. Sneaking forward, I heard the end of their 'secret' conversation: " Go after them, in surprise. leave a note for only one to come. start with Beast boy. Today in 2 hours. this alley." Then they left out of the alley. My mind was racing. Should I stop them?! I rapidly thought. two hours... deciding finally, I let instincts take over. My body changed into the falcon-like bird who granted me my new life. white feather, four strong wings, my sharp eyes followed the three villains. "soon." I whispered to myself, and took to the skies, the mid-day sun warming my pure white feathers. "sooner than I thought."
