Story with an Unknown Title Chapter 6, a pokémon fanfic

Disclaimer:This disclaimer is going to be a little different. I just heard this song when I was writing this and I thought it fit so I used it. The song is 'Animal I have Become' by the Three Days Grace, an amazing song that I fell in love with after I heard it. It is amazing. Anyhow, I OBVIOUSLY DON'T OWN IT!!!

Chapter 6: Animal I Have Become

I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

Kane stared at the beautiful sleeping woman in front of him. He'd never admit it out loud but there was just something about her…..ew, that was a disgusting thought and a very Pack like thing to think. He never thought of such obscenities before. What was happening to him? First it was all those times of random and destructive violence that he wanted to commit and now….well, he was glad that Susan did not know what he was thinking right now. He watched as his fingers grew longer into claws and back to regular sized again. Back and fourth….the beast in him was hungry for blood. But he wasn't going to let it out. He would have to get away from Susan. Yet…he couldn't do that. He had to stay with her as the mission he gave his word to do depended on it. At least, that was his reasoning. Although a side of him wanted to stay for another reason… But anyways, why oh why was this happening? All he wanted was to be a normal human. At least, he believed himself to be human. He hoped Susan would too. Although…

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)

He layed down to go to sleep. On bad days such as this, he wondered if it was worthwhile to go on living. At least death would be peaceful. No one would miss him, that's for sure. The Pack would probably party with the passing of the 'filthy half-breed'. It was likely Susan would feel a little sorry but not like the way he wanted her to. Why did it matter anyway? He was a monster. Everyone told him so. He even knew he believed it in the truthful indifferent part of him. Why not live up to everyone's expectations and be a monster? It would at least be true to his darker nature.

I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times i've lied
(So many times i've lied)
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare

I can't control myself

There was still unfulfilled rage inside him. The Pack, Ari, Jeb, the Master, they all had to suffer. They were the ones who held him back, who hurt him, kept him trapped, who made his life a living nightmare! He couldn't wait until he could lay his hands on them….his hands turned into talons and now his teeth became fangs. He let out a wild howl and started ripping at the supply bag. At last….he was free! He let out a joyful howl but stopped when he saw Susan staring at him.

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

"Stop, stop it! What are you doing? What's wrong with you?" Susan walked over and slapped him. Kane growled, a low menacing sound. They both froze when they heard it. Kane started shaking.

"I….I'm sorry. I….don't know what came over me. Please forgive me. Please Susan? Sometimes I get urges to hurt but I assure you I would never hurt you. Please believe me." Susan stared.

"Fine. Since you're begging. But I most certainly didn't like that growl. It sounded like….like…" Kane bounded over and held her as she started sobbing. He couldn't help but enjoy the feel of her touch and hope they could do this more often.

"Shh, its okay. They are far behind us. You have no more to fear from them. But believe it or not, you helped me realize something." Susan stared at him.

"Wh…What?" she said, still racking with silent sobs.

Kane spoke so softly she would later think it was her imagination. "That I am human…that I'm human."

Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this hell

(This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal)

Kane smiled as he went to sleep that night, even with Susan looking at him oddly. He now knew what he was and it was human. He was most certainly not a monster. Maybe one day he could tame his other side, but for now, he was fine with being human.
