Chapter 3 ll

Chapter 3 ll

Luna woke with a beam of sunlight hitting her eyes. Groaning she stiffly got off of her bed. The night had been nothing less than torture. She had gone through at least ten more transformations after the appearance of her tail and wings.

She now had sleek black fur covering her entire body with blue splashes in it that traveled up to her wings, where the wings connected with her back now had the same blue as her body and tail.

Her hands had become claws that were sharp enough to cut through a steak without even trying. Her feet had changed to so that she was standing on her toes, like the back paw of a wolf, making her hunch over a bit.

Her bones had even rearranged themselves as well. Besides her legs that now made her stand at 6'2, her ribs had changed into a narrower ribcage so that her lungs could expand more and she could run faster. It also unknowingly given her breasts a larger appearance, much to her embarrassment. But what had changed most about her was her face.

Her hair was still long, but know more course, and black with the same dark blue splashes as the rest of her body, but her mouth and nose had been transformed into a long muzzle. Her teeth were now fangs meant for ripping and tearing flesh and bone and her ears had traveled up her head to the top of her skull, just like a wolves as well. The only thing about her face that had stayed the same were here deep midnight eyes, but now they shown like an animal's that was caught in the high beams of a car. She found that these new additions to her body did have their advantages though.

With her nose she could smell anything and everything around the house. It was actually quite interesting except for the fact that she could smell her brothers disgustingly, sweaty gym socks.

With her ears she could here her family shuffling in the other rooms of the house and had also discovered that she could use echolocation. Though she didn't know how often she would use it now that her eyesight was so clear and sharp even in the dark.

Luna sighed again for what must have been the hundredth time in at least 12 hours. Glancing at her clock she found that it was only 7:30 in the morning. Knowing she could not go back to bed, she walked over to her dresser and began to pull a dark blue shirt and pants only to remember her wings and tail issue. Then she had an idea.

Taking the clothes, she walked over to her nightstand and grabbed her scissors. Cutting off the back of the shirt from her collar and back of the shoulders in a dip until about 2 inches was left, she threw the scraps aside and went to her sewing case at the far end of her room, next to the window and pulled out a needle, thread and 4, black buttons. Cutting the remainder of the back in half, she sewed on the buttons, and put on the shirt, buttoning up the back. Unfortunately because of her resent growth spurt, it showed off her midriff that know possessed muscles that had not been there before. Since she could do nothing more to the shirt, she went to the pants problem, but nothing came to mind.

Suddenly remembering something she went back to her dresser she pulled out a long black skirt that she had forgotten about because she never wore them. Grabbing the scissors again she cut the sides of the skirt where the seams were, splitting the skirt to show her legs up to her middle thigh. Then she split the back of the skirt where her tail could move freely without being hindered. Pulling on the skirt that went down just below her knees she decided she would go down to get breakfast.

Walking over to the door Luna reached for the door handle but couldn't turn it. Frowning she tried again with the same results. Getting frustrated, she threw her whole body against the door and heard chains snapping and wood splintering as she was sent sprawling threw the now demolished door and landing heavily on the ground. Groaning she sat up and heard her family come running.

As her family saw what she had done they were stunned.

"How did she do that?"

"Those chains were ½ an inch thick and made of iron! And look at the door! Do you know how much it's going to cost to get that fixed?"

"What is she wearing? That top does not match that skirt."

Luna just stared at her parents and brother, hatred deep inside her eyes, but it's not like anyone noticed this. A deep growl came from within her chest and she watched as the others shrank back at the sound and immediately stopped. Getting up, she stood over her family and said in a low voice.

"Would you all tell me why my bedroom door was chained shut with ½ inch chains made out of iron?" After hearing her voice her eyes widened in surprise. Her voice now sounded low and deep, with a faint growl, but a few octave pitches higher than her normal voice. Her parents must have also been shocked by her new voice, because their own eyes widened.

Clearing his voice, her father stepped forward and tried to look her straight in the face, which he was failing to do miserably.

"Luna," he said, voice cracking, "Your mother and I feel that it's best if you went to go visit your grandmother for a while. Out of town. Until the doctors can-."

"Wait." Luna interrupted. "So what you're saying is that you're going to dump me on grandma until the doctors can 'cure' me?

"Honey, it's only-."

"I can't believe this." Luna screamed. "You selfish jerks! Don't I even get a say in this?"

"No you don't" Jason said smugly, but took a few steps back when Luna rounded on him.

"Shut UP Jason or else I can try out some of my new appendages on you!" Luna screamed, barring her fangs and bringing up her claws.

"Luna that is enough," her father said, voice wavering and cracking from fear as he watched his daughter. "And no you don't. The arrangements have already been made and we're taking you out to her tomorrow. Start packing." And her father and brother left. Luna looked at her mother who only shook her head and followed her husband and son down the stairs.

Luna just stood there for a few moments before she turned around and went into her room to start packing. It's not like she didn't like visiting her grandmother, quite the opposite. Her grandma was the only one in the entire world t that understood her, the only one that really cared.

After collecting all the things that she would need, she set down her black suitcase at the base of her bed and pulled out some books on bats and wolves, which was her entire library. Turning into a mix of your favorite animals did have its advantages and Luna wanted to learn everything she could about her new body.


Luna watched as her parents drove away. Jason was making funny faces at her threw the back window. Sighing she walked up the stairs to her grandmothers house. Her grandma owned about 10 acres of property on the outskirts of town. It was heavily wooded and her grandma lived out here in a small cottage, that was built by her great-grandfather. The property was very valuable and no matter how hard her father tried to sway her grandmother, she refused to sell it.

'Your father left me this land and you can take the property once I'm on my way to see him again.'

Smiling to herself she stepped up to door and knocked lightly on the wood. After what she had done to her own door, she had been extra careful of how much strength she put into her actions.

Suddenly the door opened and an old woman stood in the frame. She was about 65 and her hair was just starting to gray, kept back in a bun on top of her head. She had kind blue eyes on a face covered in wrinkles and a smile on her old lips. She wore a pair of jeans and a plaid shirt, with worn boots on her feet. Even though she stood tall and straight she only came up to Luna's chest. This was something she loved about her grandmother. No matter how old she was, she always stood firm and proud and when she said something, it got done, no questions asked.

"Well Luna, how are you? My, have you gotten taller or have I shrunk?" grandma asked with a twinkle in her eyes. Luna couldn't help but laugh. Another thing she loved about this woman was her sense of humor.

"Come on in little girl, you're letting out the warm." Smiling again Luna walked into the house. A fire was burning in the hearth on the opposite side of the door and 2 doors led off to the left as a staircase was on the right. Her grandmother walked through the closest door and Luna followed her into the kitchen.

Luna and her grandmother were sitting at the kitchen table with a lantern in the center and a huge plate of cookies beside it. Luna grabbed another cookie as she finished telling her grandma why she was there and what had happened to her. As she expected, her grandma didn't judge her for it and seemed to barely notice the difference at all. Luna couldn't help but wish everyone thought like her grandmother did.

"You can stay here as long as you want honey." Her grandmother said interrupting her thoughts. Smiling, Luna took a nibble of her cookie.

"Don't eat a lot of the cookies little wolf, we're about to have some of my famous home cooking." Said her grandmother as she walked over to the stove and pulled out plate of steaks. As soon as Luna set eyes on the meat her mouth began to water.

Bear meat, she could smell it. It was her favorite type of food out there and her grandma knew that very well. She was the one who had turned her onto the stuff. As soon as she was given the meat, she took it in her claws and began to rip it to shreds with her teeth, only stopping when she realized what she was doing. Her grandmother only laughed.

"Well I knew you liked my cooking but not that much." She grabbed her own meat and began to tear into just as Luna had done a few moments before. Looking up to see Luna staring at her she smiled. "You go ahead and eat however you like. This way is actually much easier to eat." She said turning back to her meat. Luna only smiled and began to tear at her meat again and take another one off of the plate.


Luna sat outside under a tree looking up at the clouds passing by. She had been with her grandmother for about three weeks and had only heard from her parents once. She found that she didn't have to wear shoes anymore because her 'paws' were hard and calloused as if she had been walking on them her entire life. She even learned how to fly. She smiled as she remembered how she had accomplished that feat.

FLASHBACK

Luna stood at the top of a very large tree and looked down at her grandmother.

"Do you think this is actually going to work?" she called down to her.

"No," came her answer. " But you gotta take the chance. Besides, what's the use of those pretty little wings if you can't flap em?" she had a point there. Taking a deep breath, Luna ran down the branch and jumped.

The feeling of falling was incredible but the ground was coming up fast and Luna began to panic. Opening her wings, the air was caught and she instinctually began to beat her wings. She felt herself rise higher and higher into the air and looking down she saw the world getting smaller and smaller. Grinning she spread her arms and felt the wind under her wings as she rose up from the world. True it wouldn't be for long and she would have to come down some time but right now she was happy to just let the wind and her wings carry her away from the world and all of its problems.

END FLASHBACK

Luna was jarred from her memories when a large boom shook the air and earth.

"WHAT THE HELL!!" she screamed. All around her she could hear the animals all wailing and running away from the source of the boom, but then she heard something else. It sounded like voices. Startled she dropped to all fours as another boom shook the ground. Still on all fours she ran towards the source of these sounds with her wings pressed flatly to her back and her tail straight out behind her. As she got closer to the noises, she heard the voices grow louder.

"Surrender now Optimus Prime!"

"Never Megatron!"

'Megatron, Optimus Prime? What the hell is going on?' she asked herself. She soon got her answer as she entered a clearing only to be greeted with the sight of giant, fighting robots.

"What the hell!" she screamed as a helicopter flew overhead, only to transform into another robot a moment later.

"Give us the minicon Prime." Yelled a robot with horns on its head and was colored black, silver, green and purple, with two purple, triangular heads on its shoulders.

"Never!" screamed back another robot that was red, blue, and bits of gold and a facemask on and a red, boxlike head on its chest.

"Then suffer the consequences!" yelled the purple robot. Luna then heard other yelling, they sounded like children. Curiosity got the better of her again as she walked towards the sound. She knew that up ahead was a giant cliff, she had used it for flight practice enough times, so she knew pretty much where to go. There she watched from the bushes as she saw 4 no 5 kids, trying to pull something out of a rock on the side of the cliff. They all wore a yellow jump suit with the same symbol as the red, blue, and gold robot.

"Hey guys I think I got it." Said a blond haired boy with blue eyes.

"No wait, let me see." Said a shorthaired brunet girl. As she started to pull on whatever was stuck in the rock a missile blew up on the side of the cliff, sending all five to the ground, but what ever had been in the rock had come loose making the girl fall off the cliff.

"Alexis!" the boys screamed as the girl fell. Without even giving it another thought, Luna raced out of the bushes and past the boys and jumped after the other girl, who was screaming her head off as she fell.

She felt her wings pressed tightly against her body and the wind flowing over her body as she reached out towards the girl and caught her. Beating her wings as hard as she could, she rose higher and higher until they had reached the edge of the cliff where she lightly dropped the girl before landing a little ways away. All of the boys ran to help the girl up before looking back at her. The girl was still freaking out as she screamed.

"What the hell is that thing!?" this made Luna flinch at those words. She took a step back, and then another as she saw a yellow and red robot come up behind the kids.

"Hey are you guys okay? Whoa, what kind of creature is that?" it asked pointing at her. This made her flinch again.

'Thing, creature. Is that all that they see?' she asked herself as she felt tears prick at the back of her eyes.

"Hey, why's it flinching like that?" it asked again. Finally getting the courage to speak she asked quietly.

"Do you only see the thing, or do you see me?" She asked sadly. This made the others jump back in surprise and fear. Afraid that they may attack her, she was about to fly away when the same helicopter robot grabbed her.

"Hey what's this? A squishy who's in the wrong place at the wrong time?" it asked. Fear and instincts started to kick in as Luna began to struggle. From all around robots were starting to show up and it was making her even more skittish than she was at the moment. After getting her wings free, she wrapped themselves around her, thinking of the old saying of,

'If I can't see them, they can't see me.' Knowing fully well that they could still see her.

"Know surrender know Autobots or the fleshling gets it." Said the purple robot.

"Leave the creature alone Megatron, it has nothing to do with this." Said the red and blue robot making Luna flinch for a third time. Why couldn't they just figure out that she was a human being and could understand every single word they were saying? Suddenly the robots with the red symbol opened fire causing Luna to scream and bring up her wings again.

"DECEPTICONS RETREAT" screamed the purple robot.

.

"Hey boss, can I keep it?" asked the helicopter bot.

"Cyclonus… fine" yelled the purple robot again before he disappeared out of existence. Just before the same thing happened to Luna and the robot holding her she freed one of her arms and reached out towards the other robots, a silent plea for help that she knew would never come, and her eyes scanned over the robots and humans and thought to herself.

'Why wont anyone ever just reach out to help me?' before she disappeared from the face of the Earth.
