The Shift

I hear a bone break out of place, pain replacing my hearing. “WYATT!” I yell out, pain rippling throughout me. I hear Cobalt whimper, realizing my shift isn’t going to be easy. I hear a few more bones crack out of place, pain—I can’t barely even breathe, it hurts.

               “You have to breathe Remi. You’re different than other wolves, we’re different. I’ll only hurt this bad this once, I promise.” Mia taking some of the pain from me.

               I’m crying at the relief, as I feel my body drop to the ground. Fur sprouting on my arms and legs, my vision getting stronger, more focused and I’m able to see better in the dark, it looks like daytime still. My face changing to a snout, elongating teeth and when I look down, I see paws.
