Hello to all. Here is the next chapter. Enjoy, I do not own anything.

Chapter 8: One Month Later

One Month Later

I lay in my bed, defeated. I was still a beast. I must have seen around twenty doctors in three weeks. They all said the exactly same thing 'It's impossible.' I remember what happened when Dad and I visited the last doctor.

*Flashback* A Week Ago

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do." Dr. Rockson said. It was around eleven o'clock at night. Dad arranged an appointment at night so that no one could see me. I was wearing a black jacket, black pants, black gloves, and black shoes, in order to make sure no one saw me during the ride. To be honest, this doctor was probably the kindest out of all of the others. Most of them would looked down at their notes in order to not to see me. I'm pretty sure that of them even murmured 'monster' under his breath.

"There has to be something" Dad said, still trying to find a way.

"I'm afraid there isn't." The doctor said, taking off his glasses.

"If this is about money, that wouldn't be a problem."

"It's not that. -"

"If it's about risk then, I can assure you that Victoria and I will do anything so that she wouldn't go though life looking like this." My dad said.

What? My dad was basically saying that we risk anything, including me dying.

"I understand that, but it's just that it can't be done. Every test I've done seem to show the skin remains the same. It's like the skin can not be changed. However, everything inside seems to be normal. I never have seen anything like this before." The doctor said.

The rest of the appointment was basically the doctor trying to calm down my dad and telling me to not let this ruin me. I had one thought to that advice.

Too late.

For the time it took to get home, Dad and I didn't talk to each other. He would sometimes look over to me with a face that was supp said 'it's going to be ok.' However, I could tell from his eyes that this was total lie. When we finally got home, Dad had to leave for work.

A couple minutes after I got in to the house, I understand what the doctor meant by my skin couldn't be changed. I grabbed some scissors and my razor and started to shave my left arm until it was smooth. However, when I got back to my room, my arm was completely hairy again. I quickly grabbed the scissors and began to shave again, but this time I cut myself. I gave a small cry in pain. I looked the blood that was coming from my arm, and then looked away. When I looked back at my arm, the scar and the blood was gone. Maybe Mark made sure that whatever I did to myself, it couldn't be change.

I then grabbed my cell phone and texted my friends. It was a little hard to do since my beast hands and claws would press different buttons. I told my friends that I have been sick for the past few weeks and that I was going to boarding school in the fall. I was about to text Johnny to break up with him, but then he calls me.

"Baby, are you actually going to boarding school?"

"Yes" I said, sounding normal. Then it hit, Johnny was the cure to this entire mess.

"That's too bad. I missed you at school."

"Me too. I couldn't stop thinking about you." I lied.

"I love you so much baby."

"I love you too."

"Is cool that I come today to see you?"

"Sure." This is great. Everything is going to be ok.

After the call, I took a shower and got dressed. I also started to wonder if the spell wouldn't be broken since I didn't love him as much. No, this is going to work. It has to. I don't know what else to do if it doesn't.

About twenty minutes later, I heard a doorbell and Daniel answering it. It's kind of weird with Daniel actually. When he did finally saw me, he looked a little shock, but then acted like himself.

After that, I heard a knock at my door. "Come in" I said, trying to sound like the old me.

"Hey, baby. Why is it so dark in here?" Johnny said. For obvious reasons, I turned off the lights and closed the curtains before he came.

"I had a headache, so I turned off the lights to help it. Beside, I think it so much more romantic this way." I lied again.

"Sure, baby" he said, before following my voice and sitting on my bed.

"So, shall we get down to it?"

"Yes." Right after he said that, we began to kiss. I had a feeling in my stomach that made me feel that I was becoming myself again. However, after two seconds, that feeling was gone. Just after this feeling left me, Johnny pulled back.

"Victoria, baby" he said.

"Yes?" I said, hoping that the words that were going to come out of his mouth were 'I love you.' However, he didn't say them.

"I think we should break up."

"What?" I screamed, almost giving away my beast self.

"Let's face it, Victoria. It's the end of the year. You're going to bordering school. It would never work out."

"So, you just came over here, so you could get a kiss from me and announce that we were breaking up?" I said, in a very angry voice.

"Yeah. Anyway, it was nice seeing you again." He said, getting up and was about to leave. "Oh, and shave your mustache, it's feeling a little furry." Then he left.

After he was gone, I turned on the light to find that I was still a beast. I can't believe I fell of it. All this time, he was pretending. He never loved me. He must have thought that I was an easy target to do it with him. I should have seen this coming. I never loved him, so I shouldn't have been surprised that he didn't love me back.

*Flashback Over*

I closed on my eyes, remembering these memories again and again. I shed one or two tears from the pain of them. Before I knew it, I fell asleep. I woke up when I heard my door opening. It was Dad.

"Victoria, pack your things. We're moving."

So that was chapter eight. I hope everyone like it. If anyone wants to know, I plan to introduce the female version of Will in chapter ten. I also plan on have the male beauty in chapter thirteen. I still need ideas for who I should cast for the trailer, especially for Daniel. I would like some more ideas for Mark. For some reason, when I think about the female version of Will, I think of Anne Hathaway. Bye.
