Warning: there are a lot of POV changes in this chapter, look out
It's been a week now, the night my brother took a chunk out of my shoulder I spent the night in the hospital. My mom and dad we're there with me, by time we got home Colt had already gone. He most likely left out of guilt, after what he had done to me. I knew he didn't mean it, after I fell to the floor I looked into his eyes, they were not human. He called an ambulance after I saw the reality hit him and he came back to his senses, I was not mad at him.
That night though I felt very itchy, I pulled back my bedspread to see that I was growing fur, it had to be a nightmare but the fear of what was happening made me pass out. When I woke I stretched my front legs in front of me and yawned, I jumped from my bed and walked into the kitchen. I don't know why, but this all seemed normal to me, but when I reached the kitchen my mom seemed startled to see me.
I looked over into glass sliding door that led to our back patio, I could see my reflection in the glass, I was a Rockruff. That is why everything seemed so much bigger, as reality of what was happening sunk in I couldn't bear it, I ran from the house I spent my entire life living in. I escaped through the small door that was installed for the family Eevee. I wandered the city for what seemed like hours until I found a nice shady spot and fell asleep. That is where I have been staying for the week, food was not hard to come by, people that passed by were more than willing to give me some food, and there was a nearby pond where I could get water, so I stayed there, even if I had to live like that for the rest of my life.
I dropped the Lycanroc that off that I found in the woods at the nearest Pokemon center. I then decided to walk through the city, I was able to pick up a pair of pants to cover my legs, since I had a hoodie and my face was still on the human side I was able to blend in. The hardest part was looking normal while hunched over, but I most likely just looked like a depressed teen. I kept my hands in the pocket on the front of my hoodie to hide my claw-like nails and keep from hanging my arms from my body. I could think more rationally now rather than following pure instinct, until I caught a familiar scent. With my new posture and Pokemon body parts I could run much faster than I could as a human, I tracked down the scent until it led me to a small Rockruff sleeping under a tree.
I didn't know why I could recognise the smell of this Rockruff but it was familiar, and comforting, but anytime I tried to remember where I knew the scent from I just got a fuzzy memory and a headache, why was it so difficult to remember anything from before I woke up in that room. This headache was awful, it made me mad, I started to give in to the anger. My eyes started to glow red and I started a low growl in my throat. The hatred boiled over and I lashed out at the tree leaving three claw marks where I hit it. I began to calm down as I saw that I was getting stares from most of the people around, I looked down to see that the Rockruff was waking up due to the noise I caused.
As the small pokemon's eyes fluttered open it started up at me with the most innocent look. Then it jumped in surprise, it's actions confused me as I had not ever seen a Pokemon act in such a way.
I woke up to the strange sound of growling and scratching, when I stared up I saw a face that I knew all too well. I jumped from my feet, "Colt… Is that you" I tried to ask, but all that came out was a mix of barks and yelps. "No, I do not know who you think I am, but my name is Moon" the guy replied. That is when I remembered that Colt told me he was going by the name Moon now, but why did he not recognise his own name. "It's me… Kayla… please tell me you remember me" I plead, "I'm sorry, but I don't know anyone by the name of Kayla, everything from my past is a blur." He looked away, looking rather disappointed and confused. This brought tears to my eyes, "I'm your sister, how can you not remember me" I clawed at his leg until I wore myself out and fell to the ground exhausted. Moon reached down and picked me up, I then fell asleep in his arms. It was nice to be held by my older brother once again.
I carried the Eevee away, she claimed to be my sister, and I believed her, after all I was part Lycanroc. I nuzzled her soft fur and the memories flowed back to me as my claws turned back into normal fingernails and some of my fur receded back into my body. I bit my sister for after I had returned home, I stayed at my house that night since no one was there and left the following morning. I must have infected her, the pokedex mentioned something about midnight Lycanroc being like werewolfs but I did not think something like this could happen… that is when I remembered someone else who I had bit recently. I ruched back to the Pokemon center that I had left the Midday form Lycanroc at after I found it injured in the woods. But when I returned to its hospital room it was not a Pokemon laying in the bed, but a human.
