'No Celly, I won't be able to shift until you reach 18. If we tried to force the first shift now, we might die from the pain.' 'Let's definitely not do that!' I thought. 'Are you looking forward to shifting?' I asked. 'Yes and no. I want a physical form. Once we shift everything will change for both of us. Let's be quiet and enjoy the run.'

I was on my way to my last period, history, when Thentos came walking towards me. It was really getting on my nerves, that he was everywhere at anytime. On the other hand it was kind of nice, knowing that I was not alone for once in my life. I waited for him and when he reatched me I started walking again. “How was class?” “I actually enjoyed it. It was really interesting. Did you know Shifter can shift into anything out every animal group for the first month or so until you find your other?”

If everything in the world wasn’t such a mess, it would’ve felt like we’d all gathered for something like Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. The channel Valerian had tuned to was playing a commercial at the moment. As soon as Lyanna and I walked in, Mateo and Orion stood up and offered us their spots on the couch. We had barely gotten comfortable when the theme music for the nightly news blasted through the speakers. A middle-aged female reporter appeared on screen and greeted the viewers. “Good evening. I’m Rochelle Carmichael, and this is World News Today. We begin tonight with a report on the widespread support the shifter community has received in recent days. Celebrities like Reese Lloyd

I whispered back to Chase. "Shift change and newbies is what it boils down too. We need to get more training in. Shift change is taking 20 minutes and it should only take 3-5 minutes. I don't like the kids who are on this patrol right here. They play around too much." Damion explained

Life has gotten much busier for me and as of now, and I can only do updates 2 days a wk. so look out for new episodes on Weds and Sats. This change will go into effect this wk. I truly hope you are enjoying the story. I know it's a slower pace but the build-up is important to the story. not everything will be included from the past but there will be flashbacks as Kat gets older. Please leave me comments or gems to keep me going. I am enjoying writing this novel and hope that you'll continue to join me on this wild ride. It's the first time I'll be including dark themes and traumatic experiences in any of my wor

Matter was solid and liquid simultaneously. "Keep reality stable!" I commanded through the network to hybrid network managers across all seven Earths. "Billions of consciousnesses are about to experience reality shift. We need to keep them sane!" Species began intermixing. Humans from Earth-Prime met humans from Earth-Sanctus who had divine powers. Shapeshifters from Earth-Bestia encountered shapeshifters from Earth-Prime who were limited to one form. AI from Earth-Machina tried to comprehend organic consciousness from Earth-Verdant.

Though it is like winning the lotto and so sporadic, it is not even seen as a possibility. The current Amory Cruz, from Mexico, will not be at one specific location for the First Shift ceremony but will oversee hundreds of ceremonies from the shifter capital building in Washington, DC. With multiple ceremonies happening in multiple places at the same time, a live stream is the only way he can oversee them all. He will be the last face all first shifters see as a human, and the first we see as a shifter because Arcas personally delivers our animals to us for the first shift.

The years of balancing our survival had trained her to look for the exit dynamic immediately. "We have three thousand dollars in the reserve account, Lyra," she said, her voice dropping into a hard, focused register. "We can pack the boxes tonight. We take the early morning bus to Milwaukee. Or Gary. Somewhere out of the state jurisdiction." "No," I said, looking over at Leo and Maya, who were currently building a small red tower in the corner, entirely oblivious to the storm raging five feet away. "We can't keep running forever, Kat. Moving them across state lines with no medical records, no job, no stability... it’ll kill them. They need their routine. They need the clinic."

It was as if a part of me was fading, dissolving bit by bit. Still, avoiding shifting wasn’t an option. If I refused to change, both my mind and body would continue to break down, deteriorating faster than before. Lilith had warned me long ago, before she lost herself completely, that shifting was one of the few defenses against the cruel effects of the bond. It was a way to hold onto the pieces of myself that mattered, to stave off the slow unraveling. Despite my hatred for it, shifting remained the fragile thread keeping me from falling apart entirely.

And there, in the midst of the ruined circle, and with the ash of the broken symbols whirling about his feet, stood Fenric with his hands not trembling with fatigue, but with the shock of what he had just wrought. The Shift was not in pieces, but there was something altered in its framework. He could sense it as a crack down in a mirror, subliminal but keen, a disjunction that would increase over time.
