The next day, Jeanette no longer felt sick, but felt as if she had been born again. Her eyesight had increased, but not enough to free her of her glasses, her body strength was double what it was before, and her flesh was stronger. She had fully transformed in a Remagorah, and would transform that night, which she was not looking forward to. She knew Simon was going to help her, but there's no way he could teach her how to control herself during the transformation in one day, but she trusted Simon and knew she was safe with him.
Miss Miller, along with Brittany and Eleanor were stunned by the changes in Jeanette. She was usually the quiet, shy, and setback one of their group, but now, she was totally different. Jeanette craved different things than before, mostly meat, which she rarely ever ate. She could lift things ten times her body weight, run faster than ever, and smell something from miles away, which was most of the time an animal or any source of meat, due to Remagorah's being cannibals.
Brittany and Eleanor were scared for their sister, and worried about her being a cannibalistic animal. They were afraid she might be tempted to attack them one night, when they were asleep. Jeanette swore to them that that would never happen, because Simon was going to teach her how to control herself. Brittany and Eleanor were still sceptical, and feared Jeanette would still attack them, due to her Remagorah instincts influencing her.
Miss Miller was clueless to what was going on, because Brittany and Eleanor decided to keep the transformation secret. Jeanette was glad they did, otherwise Miss Miller would've retaliated, and done some something reckless, something that would get them all killed. It hurt them to keep Jeanette's new life hidden from Miss Miller, but it was for the best. Jeanette's new life would be hard to get used to, but they had no choice but to deal with it. What's done is done, and there's no going back.
Jeanette felt like she was in a Twilight film, because of the situation she was in. Simon was her Edward Cullen, she loved him, when she met him he was a supernatural creature, she was changed into the same thing he is by him, and the relationship between Remagorahs was strictly forbidden. All that was missing was a Jacob, a baby, and marriage. She wasn't looking forward to a baby or marriage anytime soon, due to her still being only sixteen years old. The age Simon would turn the next day, and the day the order of Remagorahs will be changed.
Jeanette looked over at the kitchen clock, and noticed it was nearing noon. Simon was probably waiting for her, so she prepared herself. "Miss Miller, I'm going to hang out with Simon today," said Jeanette.
"I don't know if that's the wisest idea, dear. You just got better, and I don't want you getting sick again," replied Miss Miller.
"I feel fine. Better than fine."
Miss Miller hesitated for a moment, thinking if she should let Jeanette go. "Alright. Be back by sunset."
"I will," Jeanette lied. She knew very well that she would transform by the time she could get home before sunset.
Miss Miller smiled, as Jeanette exited the house. Outside, Jeanette saw Simon standing at the end of the walkway to the front door, with his arms crossed. Jeanette walked slowly toward Simon, nervous and scared. "Hi, Simon."
"Hello, Jeanette. Are you ready for your training?"
"I'm ready."
"Good. To avoid my father, we have to train in the forest, and hopefully, Alvin and Theodore don't find us."
"Fine. I just want to get as much training as possible done, before the transformation."
"Then we need to hurry. Follow me."
"Okay."
Using her new speed, Jeanette rushed with Simon to the forest, where she would start her training for the first time.
The forest was dark and creepy, due to the thick trees blocking out the sun. Simon stopped at a spot that looked like it had been used before as a training ground, and whoever was there before, had gone through hard training. Simon looked at Jeanette, noticing her curiosity.
"This is where my brothers' and I learned how to control ourselves thirteen years ago."
"How bad was the training? The area looks like it's been hit by a tornado."
"That is from learning while we were transformed; sometimes the outcome of the training would be a disaster, resulting in what you see."
Jeanette observed the area, seeing the torn cloth on the ground, chipmunk fur, and large gaps in the ground. She also saw trees with chains on them, which was probably used to restrain whoever was training and scratch marks in the trees. It seemed like what you would see in a horror film, which scared Jeanette. Would she have to be chained to a tree, just to learn how to keep herself under control when she's transformed? She gulped just thinking about it.
Simon grabbed her paw. "I know it seems scary, but newborns usually don't remember their first transformation; after they return to normal they wake up thinking it was just a dream."
"Is the transformation painful?"
"The only part that hurts, is when your teeth grow longer. No other part of the transformation is painful, and don't worry. After a few transformations, you'll get used to the pain."
Jeanette smiled, but was still a bit afraid of transforming, even though it was going to happen no matter what she did. "Let's get started. What do I need to do?"
Simon released his grasp. "You need to learn how to remain focused on controlling your actions when transformed."
"How do I do that?"
"First, when you start to change, keep your breathing in sync, and keep your muscles relaxed; don't tense up or lose control. Fear is your worst enemy, because it causes your body to react differently, so have no fear. We will focus on those topics for now, and will teach you how to control yourself during the transformation, which is the difficult part, due to your instincts attempting to interfere with your focus. Do you understand?"
"Yes. I'm ready to try."
"Alright. Keep your breathing in sync, and don't change it. One slip-up, and you will lose control; concentrate."
"Okay." Jeanette did as Simon instructed and inhaled, and exhaled, keeping it in sync with her body. The longer she continued, she started to feel like she was in full control; even Simon was impressed. It had taken him multiple tries to get his breathing under control when he was still training. Jeanette was in full control of keeping her breathing in sync, which is surprising for a newborn to manage on the first try.
"Great work, Jeanette. Now, stop concentrating, and continue to keep your breathing in sync."
"Okay, Simon."
Jeanette stopped concentrating, and looked at Simon, still in full control.
"Unbelievable. Jeanette you are doing an advanced technique that not even I, have mastered."
"I am?"
Jeanette kept her breathing in sync, despite Simon testing her to see if complimenting her would cause her to slip. It was unbelievable what Jeanette was doing. It was as if she was already an expert at this, but she had never done anything like this before. Simon was speechless, and his mind was blown. Could she be a natural at this? How else is it possible?
"Are your muscles relaxed, Jeanette?"
"Yes. I'm not tensing my muscles."
Simon had seen enough. "You are ready for the advanced tactics."
"Great." Her breathing was still in sync.
"You need to learn how to control your instincts, which is very difficult to do. Our kind's craving for blood is massive, and if not controlled can end in a massacre, and exposure of our existence."
"I understand. How can I learn to control my instincts if I'm not transformed?"
"You'll find out tonight, when your instincts are at the highest level, and I will protect you from hunters and their tricky traps designed for newborns. I just hope Alvin and Theodore don't see you."
"They'll find out some time, Simon, and I'm not afraid of your brothers', if they do anything."
"You don't know what they're capable of, Jeanette. Alvin is ruthless and will kill anything, while Theodore is a "lurer." Theodore pulls in his prey, like a fish on a hook, and attacks his prey once it's in sight. Alvin will kill any number of things in one attack, from animals to humans."
"You're referring to my sisters', aren't you?"
"Exactly."
"If Alvin or Theodore come near my family, they will wish they didn't."
"I hope you are right, because sunset is nearing."
"I can feel it."
Jeanette felt the sudden jolt in her bloodstream, and could feel a sensation taking over. She refused to let it control her, so she kept her breathing in sync, and relaxed her muscles. It had begun; her first transformation.
Her teeth grew more jagged, which did hurt her, but it didn't phase her concentration. The purple in her eyes was now red as blood, and her nails on her fingers and feet had grown sharp as a knife. Her sense of smell was stronger than ever before, and the instincts Simon said were hard to control, started to control her. She refused to let her instincts take over, so she took control, and for the first time ever, a newborn Remagorah had full control.
Simon had transformed as well, and he looked at her with his blood-red eyes.
"Jeanette, are you in control?"
Simon was speaking to her through her mind, which must be how Remagorahs' communicate with each other.
"Complete control, Simon."
"Good. I don't know how you did it, but you managed to control yourself, first try."
"I don't know either."
"Well, now that you are transformed, it's time to hunt. However, you must offer one of your meals to the Master, as a sign of loyalty."
"I will. Let's go."
"Follow me, and don't wonder off."
Jeanette followed Simon deep into the forest, ready to experience her first hunt as Remagorah.
