Chapter Three: Strangers Like Me

The first time Paisley fully shifted she was alone, at least physically. She had no one to hold her hand through the painful process. No one to help her, no one to support her. She thought she was dying at first. The process was so unbelievably agonizing she didn't know how she ever survived it.

But through the middle of her first phase a voice spoke out to her. "Stay still, the pain will ease soon."

Finally, after what felt like years but was only minutes, the pain stopped. Paisley felt different. It was not a bad different, just unusual and unaccustomed.

"The phasing is complete." The voice whispered.

Looking down Paisley noticed that she no longer stood on human limbs like she used to. She had paws. And fur. And a tail.

"Oh my God. I have a fucking tail." She whined. Instead of hearing her normal voice out loud in English, a loud whine echoed through the trees. "What happened to me?" She began to whimper.

"You survived your first shift," The voice answered. "Now lets run."

She thought she was going crazy at first then the voice became clearer. It started to guide her through the forest. It gave her hints and tips on survival, but most of all it comforted her.

"Turn left."

"Don't eat those, they don't have much meat."

"Stay calm and follow the sent."

The advice continued through the whole night until it was time for her to shift back and return to Danny. She had completely forgotten about him until the voice reminded her. It was like a conscious.

"Relax your muscles and envision yourself back in your human figure."

"What about you?" Paisley asked out loud but once again an inhuman sound resonated. She didn't understand at the time that the voice could hear her thoughts. The voice was apart of her.

"Don't worry, I'll always be with you. Our souls will forever be connected. You'll hear from me soon. Now phase back and check on little Danny."

Paisley relaxed her wolf form and pictured her human self. She imagined herself in her room, starring at the full figure mirror nailed to the wall. After imagining her long chocolate brown hair and unnaturally golden eyes she was back to her normal figure. Only this time she was naked.

"What the fuck just happened to me?!" She shouted.

Paisley was alone in the forest. No one could hear her rants except for the sparrows and the squirrels.

"Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God." Her rants were endless. Through her mindless thinking she unknowingly managed to walk back towards her house. The sun was beginning to rise and she began to panic.

"How the hell am I supposed to walk in the house butt naked?" She asked herself.

Paisley made it back to the tree line and searched for anything to cover her self with. It was around 5:00 A.M. and people would start waking up to go to work soon, her heart quickened.
