Blood rushed through my veins as my heart quickened in the heat of the chase. My feet pounded along the hot pavement as I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. I turned a corner and sped past a block of shops.
“Stop you little freak!” ordered the man that I had just robbed. I chuckled dryly, if only he knew. I set my sight on the upcoming forest. I didn’t want to steal but as of recently it has become a way of life for me. Suddenly a woman came around a corner, directly in my path. Before I could change my direction I crashed into her and fell to the ground. As soon as I attempted to stand and run, I was lifted up by the back of my shirt and turned to look into the eyes of my victim. I barely registered the woman stand and dust herself of before promptly trotting of in the direction in which she came.
“You should know I’ve already called the police you little punk” sneered the man. I wasn’t afraid. I didn’t want to go with the police and I wasn’t about to. I smirked, staring deeper into the eyes of my captor.
“What’s so funny?” laughed the man “you’ve just been caught”. At this point in time we had gathered a crowd.
“You can let me go now” I laughed, the man looked at me disbelievingly “well? I’m waiting”. He made no move to release me so I took matters into my own hands. My eyes glowed yellow and long red-tinted fangs emerged from my previously rounded teeth. The man dropped me and backed away in horror. I smirked once again and dropped his wallet before him and turned around. Cameras flashed and the people murmured as I passed through the crowd. I heard a feminine scream as I continued the transformation. To me, when I was chosen I became a more advanced species, able to do what scientists consider impossible. To them, I became a monster, a messenger of Lucifer and was out-casted by the people who I considered friends. The transformation had completed and I had become one of the infinite amount of animals that shared my existence. I became a Lion.
