I groaned and sat up, I thought I felt something move on my head but brushed it off. I was in a big king size bed, with purple sheets. I rubbed my eyes and yawned but jumped when a voice sounded "Daniel" I turned and smiled at seeing clockwork himself. "Clockwork" I shouted. He smiled slightly "I'm sorry I couldn't save them " He said softly. I shook my head "I knew you weren't aloud to even though you wanted to, I do have a question, how long was I out and who was that Lady named Lyla and what did she do to me?" I asked tilting my head. Clockwork smirked " That's three questions but I will answer them, you were unconscious for about two weeks, seeing as your body underwent a lot of stress and She helped to cure you of your sadness and the other well, go take a look" he said and gestured to the mirror on the wall. I scrunched my eyebrows and stood up and walked to the full length mirror. I approached and gasped. Oh My god...
I was in ghost form, and my white hair was now a shaggy shoulder length and hung in front of one of my eyes, I could put it in a ponytail. The snow white, now had dark green highlights running through it, On my head was two white wolf ears with dark green tips, I had a long wolf tail, that was white with a dark green tip. My eyes stayed their neon green but I now had slight fangs. I also had a new outfit, that I really liked. I wore a long sleeve white shirt with my Dp symbol over my heart in black, a black cloak hooked with an emerald, black jeans with white stitching, dark green fingerless gloves, and dark green combat boots.
I looked to clockwork with wide eyes and my newly acquired wolf ears twitched. I looked to the mirror and changed to my human form and gasped again. My hair was now shaggy and shoulder length and hung in one of my eyes, the raven colored hair now had a kind of baby and navy blue combination of highlights, I had two black wolf ears with blue tips, my wolf fangs, and a bushy tail that was black with a blue tip.
I smiled and tilted my head I chuckled at the irony "Well I am not normal now, not that I ever was" I said with a real smile. "Clockwork you said she took away my sadness is that why I feel so great right now?" I asked sitting on the bed. He nodded "Yes it is, and one more thing" He said and I titled my head my ears falling flat. Wow that's weird "What?" I asked "You can turn into a wolf in both forms" he said I gasped and got really excited this is kinda cool! "Really how?" I asked. My face reddened as I felt my new tail wag. "Think about being a wolf" he said and smiled. "There are clothes in the closet come down when you ready and bring your bags I have the perfect place for you to live" he said and left. I frowned a bit 'that was fast'.
I shook my head and turned to the mirror and thought really hard about being a wolf, fluffy body, four legs, a snout. I felt my body shift and smiled inwardly when I looked in the mirror. My body was pitch black, with my chest and underbelly a blue color, the tip of my ears and tail where blue, and my arctic blue eyes stayed the same. I then remembered that I was in human wolf from or..erh.. You know what I mean. So I changed into ghost wolf form, you know what I mean! I let the rings of light slide over my body and felt my heart change to my core.
I inwardly smiled again. I now was a wolf with snow white fur, and a dark green chest and underbelly, with the tip of my ears and tail dark green and my eyes stayed glowing green and my overall body had a glowing white aura radiating it. I shook my head and looked around, okay so...how do I go human? Maybe..I do the opposite of becoming wolf and think of being a human. I closed my eyes and thought about it, two legs and two arms, torso, tall hairless.
I opened my eyes and stood up a smile on my face I was human again! I may sound crazy but I really am grateful to the Lyla person. I look really different now, and though I miss my family and friends, I don't feel like a heartbroken 15 year old orphan anymore. I walked to the dresser and pulled it open smiling at the outfit in there. I turned human and took off my old and beaten up clothes. I slipped on the long sleeve black shirt, a pair of gray jeans and combat boots, There was a hole for my tail in the jeans and when I picked up the cool gray beanie that caught my eye it had holes for my ears. I then laced up the boots And grabbed my bag. I looked in the mirror one last time and smiled I really did look like a different person even without the tail and ears. Just a normal scrawny yet strong 15 year old, with ghost and wolf powers..ok...so maybe not that..normal.
I walked down stairs and clockwork turned to face me his time mirrors going black. "Daniel, you will be going to live in a small town called Springville, you will be under the alias Daniel Time, and will be going to Lizzie Borden high" Clockwork said and handed me a large envelope. I opened it and gasped. It had a fake birth certificate, a code for a bank account, the keys to a house, and All the files I would need for high school. "So what about my back story, and what about my new appearance?" I asked looking up. Clockwork smirked and gave me a necklace, it was a silver locket with ~CW~ engraved on it. I slipped it on and my tail,my fangs, and my ears vanished as did the pre-made holes for them, and not that I'd say it out loud I'm glad my hair stayed longer and with the blue highlights. It was really cool. "As for your question, Your backstory is you are an only child, whose mother died in childbirth, your father is the owner for a few businesses across the country, so he is always on business, but when he is really needed I will take on a human appearance and fill in, your reason for moving to this small town, is because you father wanted a change" He explained and made me a portal.
"This leads straight to the front lawn, where there is a minivan full of boxes and everything you need that you will unpack top appear normal." He explained. I couldn't help it and leapt forward hugging clockwork tight. He stiffened but returned it "Thanks for giving me a second chance" I whispered. I heard him chuckled and pat my head before I pulled away." Anytime Daniel, you are my charge after all" he said and gently shoved me in the portal. I came out the other end and smiled, This was my second chance.
