Hi everyone! Nothing to put, so, for fun, I'm gonna put a disclaimer!! Whoohoo!!

Disclaimer: …Do I have to spell this out for you? Do I?

………………………

What am I?

When I awoke, Tiz, Third and Thor were peering at me, murmuring things in a low voice. I caught snatches of their conversation in my slumber.

"What happened to her?" Tiz's voice slipped through my dreams.

"I don't know. One minute she was normal, the next…" Third.

Thor's voice broke through Third's. "Isn't she like us?" Silence.

"Well, seeing as she looks like us, I assume she is." Third's voice was strained.

"Assume?" Thor again.

"Yes."

I let out a soft groan. My head hurt. Thor stared at me. "Do you feel… normal?" he asked tentatively. I glared at him. "Do you think I feel normal with a blooming headache?" I demanded. The headache lessened slightly when I said that.

Thor swallowed and looked away. Third sat down on the bed next to me. "Zia, I want to ask you something, which you must answer truthfully."

"Whatever. Shoot."

"Bang."

"Seriously." I rolled my eyes, then wished I hadn't. Rolling my eyes only brought back the headache.

"Okay. Zia, do you remember anything – anything at all – after you fainted?" Third's eyes peered into mine.

"I fainted?" I asked blankly. Slowly, memories from the day before came back into my mind.

"Yes, you fainted. Do you remember anything?" Third pressed.

"This is stupid. She's not gonna remember anything if she didn't even remember that she fainted," Thor muttered.

Tiz whacked him playfully. "Be quiet!"

"I do remember the conversation you were having…" I said slowly. "When Thor asked if I was like you."

"Anything else?"

I shut my eyes, concentrating, but my headache blocked me from the rest of my memories. "Nothing."

Third and Tiz exchanged a look. "Why do you want to know?" I asked Third. He looked helplessly at Tiz. Tiz sighed. "Well, because, after you fainted, according to Third, you changed."

Panic washed over me. "How?" I asked shakily.

Third took over. "You're face changed completely. You looked almost like… like…"

"Like who?" I asked.

"What actually," Tiz said. She then shook her head. "We can't tell you now. But you'll know one day."

…………………………..

At bedtime that day, I couldn't sleep. And when I did, dreams haunted me. One particular nightmare had the words, "You are neither human nor animal. You are a monster."

The next morning, my head was hurting more than ever. My body ached, and I could barely move. After taking my temperature and putting sleeping pills next to me, Tiz went off to make soup, obviously in hope that I would take the pills and rest. But I didn't. The nightmare waited for me. But eventually, I did fall asleep.

The same nightmares rose again, but, this time, I had the most beautiful sense of peace. Something was next to me, in white, and she was whispering to me, You are here for a reason. Protect my son. Please.

I slept well for the next few days. Then, I was better. I knew what I had to do now. Protect Thor.
