The Shapeshifter

Chapter 1

  I was sniffing the cold forest air picking up the scent.  I started running toward it. I was running so fast I could hardly see what was in front of me. I tripped on a twig and tumbled down a hill. When I finished tumbling and getting back on my feet, I lost the scent.

  I shifted into a hawk and flew back home. It had been a long day, so I shifted into a human and went to bed. The smell of breakfast woke me up. I went downstairs to find a plate of food at the table. It smelled delicious.

I looked up from the table and saw my boyfriend, Sean. He must've used my spare key to get in. Hmm. "Hey, Winter! You slept in pretty late. I decided to make you breakfast." Sean said. "Did you sleep good?" he asked. "Yes I did! Thank you for the breakfast! I'm starving." I said.

  We sat down and ate breakfast together. After that, Sean had to head to work. I decided to go find out what that scent was. I shifted into a hawk to fly over to the forest and when I landed I shifted into a wolf again. It took a while to find it, but I picked up the scent again.

  I followed it and what I found from it is not what I expected. It was just a family of raccoons. I went back to my house and watched TV for a little bit. Finding the scent took a while so I decided to go get some lunch. By the time I finished, Sean was heading home, so I texted him and asked if he wanted to watch a movie at his house. He said he was fine with that. I shifted into a crow and carried the movie with me to his house.

  He had to stop at the store so he was going to be a few mins late. I used his spare key to get in. I made some popcorn and got everything ready. Sean came home as I was setting up the movie, so we grabbed the popcorn and sat down. During the movie, I guess I fell asleep. While I was asleep, i must have accidentally shifted into a dog. He can do it too, he just doesn't it as often.

  When I woke up, Sean was scratching me on my head. It felt good, so I didn't move. I laid there silently and watched the rest of the movie.  After it was over Sean "woke me up" so that I could go home. I had to stop by the store really quick and then went home.

  I couldn't go to sleep, so I stayed up and watched a little more TV. I finally fell asleep at like 3 in the morning. I got woken up by my phone. I picked it up and it was a text from Sean.

My bby: I'm gonna be stuck at work all day. Sorry. Love you.

I replied: Ok. Love you, too. Have fun. :)

Today's gonna be a long day...
