Chapter 4 - Merry Christmas Everyone! Here is a shorter than normal chapter to tie you up until I have more time. You guys know how the holidays are.

Still not mine, I just play with the characters. Not Beta'd, all mistakes are mine.

It's quiet. I don't hear anything, my body doesn't hurt either but something is different. I wiggle my toes, that feels the same. I open my eyes, but I couldn't focus on one thing. I blinked a few times, finally, I could see. But what I'm seeing makes no sense. I stare at it, trying to figure out where I am. This is not my bed.

My ceiling is not black with gold molding. I sat up, too quick, it seemed that my body is moving faster than I can catch up. I looked around and the room is just simply beautiful. Black walls, with gold crown molding. I'm sitting on a huge poster bed on what I'm guessing are Egyptian sheets. I want to lay back down and enjoy them but something still feels different.

I move to stand up, a little slower this time and see a long mirror by a closed door. I moved to it and look at myself. I don't see too many changes. My hair seems longer, my boobs bigger, my eyes are the same chocolate and it seems I got an ass now. I giggled at myself and turn some more, but in doing so I finally feel and see what is different.

On my back, there are two protrusions where my shoulder blades are located. I wiggle one shoulder and it moves with it. I lift up the back of my shirt to get a better look, I pulled it up all the way and what I saw shocked me. There is a pair of claws,? No, maybe horns? I'm not sure. They also seemed to be connected by a tribal tattoo of some kind that travels all the way down the middle of my back, past my pants. I pulled them down and it ended at my tailbone. I touched it and it feels different like my tailbone is not down growing.

I sigh and put my shirt back down and pants back up. I don't see my shoes anywhere and I want to find this Jasper guy. As soon as I thought his name, there is a knock on the door. I looked at it, not sure if I should open it. I didn't know who was on the other side. I must have taken too long because the door opens a smidge.

"Hey there Darlin', it's Jasper, may I come in?" I took a deep breath and nodded.

"Yeah come in," I said. I stayed where I was standing. I wasn't sure what I wanted or needed to do.

"How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Weird." he snorts and almost giggles.

"Ok Darlin, that is expected. I bet you have some questions, but before we get to Q&A, let's get you cleaned up." He took my arm and led me to one of the closed doors. He opens it and turns on a dim light. The ensuite glows in a soft light, very soothing. He turns the taps on and hands me the softest towel I've ever touched.

"Ok sweet girl, take a hot shower. I'll bring you some of your clothes to change into. Then we'll talk." I nodded and he walked out closing the door behind him. I undressed and stepped into the hot water. It felt divine.

I walked out of the shower to see him sitting on the lounge sofa in the room. He sat up and extended his hand towards me.

"I know things are confusing, and you feel different but is to be expected. I also have some information for you regarding Sam and your father. What would you like to know first?"

I thought about it and really, right now my body needs attention more than Sam. That bastard can wait, I won't give him any more of my time.

"Tell me about me and what is next please, and what are these things growing on my back?"

Hope everyone has a great time today. Merry Christmas to those that celebrate. I will have another shorty next Sunday.
