Transformation

(Lizzy)

I sat there in my chair, my body was trembling, and my hands were shaking. I could barely hold my pen, to talk of writing down what our lecturer was scrambling on the whiteboard. My eyes were blurry, and I was certain they had turned red. I kept my head down for fear of other kids seeing me sweating despite the AC being on.

I wasn't hearing anything despite sitting on the second roll. My legs were shaking violently even when I squeezed them together. I wanted to cry and break down, but I concentrated on something I knew could help me. 

“Hey, Liz…do you have the notes,” I heard Jimmy from my left whisper closely. I shook my head in denial when I heard faint voices of Mr. Pete asking a question about whatever he was teaching. I had no control over my brain. It felt like it shut down, but I closed my eyes praying the bell rung and the class ended as soon as possible.

“In biology… we've learned how the human body works…each body part work in unison with the other…so no part of your body is inferior because they all play a vital role” I made out what Mr. Pete was explaining, and I would have understood everything if I didn't know what was happening to my body. 

“Sir, what about animals,”

“Yes sir, we heard people can turn into wolves at night,” said one of the popular bad boys from the back seat, and they all laughed mockingly. 

“We are not talking about that jack… I'm sure you do know…such things are just…myths,” Mr. Pete answered like he always did.

“Nah, we heard…” another boy chimed in and murmurs rose in the room, creating noises I didn't like.

I felt rage, I felt some bad energy radiating inside of me as I tightened my hand to the point where the pen in my hand snapped in half so violently that it hit the kid next to me, shocking the entire classroom. 

“Ahh…it hurts…help me…help me, I'm bleeding!” The screaming of the girl next to me jerked me back to reality as I shifted my eyes towards where she was, and I was shocked. Stunned when I saw her lying in a pool of blood. The entire class had gone into an uproar. They surrounded the girl, hiding her neck which was bleeding like hell. Blood was oozing out like some water fountain.

“Ms Elizabeth, what's all this!” Mr. Pete's deep, high-pitched voice came from the front as he pushed himself to the back. I was shaking as I lowered my head. All the kids were staring at me. I felt fear as I hid the half piece of the pen, which snapped in half and ended up buried in the girl's neck.

“She did it!”

“Call the police!”

“She hurt her!”

All sorts of voices kept on yelling, screaming, and shouting and all of them were directed at me. I grew wary, and more alert, as I gripped the edge of the table to secure my balance. I already reached my peak of destruction, I was about to explode; hence leaving was the best option before I ended up ripping each one of them into shreds.

“Ms Elizabeth kindly…go to my office now…” Mr. Pete flashed me a death glare, which I knew too well.

“I… I…. Didn't…it wasn't me… I swear I don't know what…please I'm innocent” I pleaded in a shaky voice as I shook my head retreating, unfortunately, the bully kid standing behind me pushed me forward and I stumbled forward.

Mr. Pete grabbed me before I could fall, and I moved away from him. Every word they said was embedded in my brain. My corrupt brain, that all I could think of was killing someone. Of ripping someone's body into shreds.

“How can you sit next to her…what if she hurt you, huh… Elizabeth, move back…she was having fits and ended up hurting herself” Mr. Pete surprisingly said and like a realization, I instantly looked up at him but soon averted my eyes knowing I didn't do it.

Time passed by, and the class ended just like that. The kid died due to a broken glass piece from the pen. How weird was that even for a human it sounded so strange.

People didn't die from something so useless, and I knew what happened

“Damn it…” I said as soon as I entered the girl's bathroom and splashed water on my face to cool off. 

“That was a close call…damn it Lizzy” I muttered as I rushed to the door and locked it. There was no one in the restroom because every student was having lunch. It was between 12 pm and 1 pm and during this time, all students didn't visit the restroom, rather they went to the dining hall to eat their lunch; hence I had time to escape and run as far away from there as possible.

It was a human school, I was not a human and certainly not a saint. I had blood on my hands, all because I was a werewolf. The creature of the night and what humans called ugly furry monsters. 

I quickly dug into my purse to call my mom. I knew she was at work, but I needed her help. Whenever I get this vicious and thirsty for blood. The night didn't end before I killed innocent people. I was done with this monster inside of me when I dialed my mom's number. It wasn't going through.

“Damn it, mom…pick up,” I said as tears lingered in my eyes. This was all messed up. I required her to come to pick me up and fix the mess I was in. I could see my hands changing. My eyes were already a deep yellow with a bunch of silver.

I couldn't stay in school for long because if I did, I was sure to get exposed.

“Mom please” I begged as I tried again, but it was unreachable. I was running out of time and Immediately my eyes changed to full-blood moon red then the entire school would face the greatest destruction and massacre of their lives and that happened all because of those vicious wolves who used me as their night hunt animal. 

I was at their disposal to use for these fun killings and the stupid drug they injected me with every night they took me out for their kills was getting out of control.

My wolf had reached its full limit of the deadly drug, which caused me to be aggressive. And for the past few days I was nothing but a vicious beast who killed for satisfaction. I was on the verge of exposing our secret.

“Open up!” While looking at myself in the mirror, I heard banging on the door and several girls were yelling to open the door. I quickly turned to the door and sweat dripped down my face because now I was about to change fully and the beast inside me was about to let loose and unleash its bitterness on everyone.
