I couldn't even comprehend what he had just said to me so I did the one thing that came naturally to me: I laughed. He couldn't possibly be serious. Adam, a loving, charming boy, a murderer?
"You're joking me, right?"
"I wish I was B, but I'm really not."
"Adam, this isn't funny. If your pulling a prank on me you better stop it right now. I don't think its humoring at all."
"Belle, please listen to me. It was an accident; I didn't mean to do it. I couldn't help it."
"God Adam, what do you mean you couldn't help it? What the hell do you mean?"
"I'm not like you Belle. I'm not... entirely human."
As he finished his sentence he fell to the ground in what looked like agonizing pain. He held his chest, gripping at his heart. I fell to the ground with him grabbing at his arm to try and help in any way I possibly could.
"Adam, Adam! What's going on? Should I call for help?" I screamed.
"No Belle, don't."
As he held up his head, his episode now over, I could only describe what I saw as what I imagined being face to face with a werewolf was like. I stumbled backwards and tried to stand up but I was so full of fear and confusion it seemed near impossible.
"Belle, please don't be scared; I could never hurt you." he pleaded.
I could not fathom what was unfolding in front of my eyes. I did the only thing I could think of; I turned to run. Adam grabbed at my arm trying to hold me back but accidentally tearing threw my flesh with his now prominent claws. I yelped in agony and released myself from his grasp. I darted out of that alley as fast as my feet could carry me, leaving Adam behind in the dust.
