growing and I was
slowly losing control of it. “No doctors,” I did my best to speak
calmly as I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. “They wouldn’t
help, they would treat me like some, I don’t know, freak show or
something.” My breath relaxed and I began to feel my pulse slow
back down.
     
    “ Okay,” she said in barely more
than a whisper. Her body relaxed as she stared at the floor and I
couldn’t blame her for not looking at me. After that I didn’t want
to ether.
     
    “ So what do you think is going
on?” she asked me quietly. There was a long pause, a silence
between us before she looked up and met my eyes. I smiled. How
could I not? She was so sweet, so caring. She smiled back at me in
a way to let me know that everything was alright.
     
    “ I’ve thought about a lot of
things.” I sighed. “At first I thought I was crazy and then the
night Jenna left me-” the pain in my voice was more than obvious. I
still missed her. It would be a while until that pain went away I
was sure.
     
    “ You never did tell me what
happened,” she spoke quietly as she twisted her fingers together
nervously. “But I remember it was the first time I saw you cry, the
first time I saw you scared.”
     
    “ We got into a fight that much you
know. I got angry and I felt like I needed to leave.” I sighed as I
sat back down and leaned forward on my knees. “I guess I kind of
knew that if I didn’t something bad would happen.” I looked over at
her, my heart pounding in my chest as I thought carefully about
what I was going to say.
     
    “ I left the apartment and went for
a walk,” I continued, stopping every so often to read her face. “I
got a few blocks away and all I remember was being in so much pain
I couldn’t stand.” She shot me a confused glance as I looked over
at her. “My stomach,” I explained. “It was like it was on fire. So
I ducked into an alley and hid behind a dumpster.”
     
    “ That bad?”
     
    “ Yeah,” I smirked. “It didn’t take
long before the rest of my body felt like it was on fire and the
next thing I know I’m screaming and I can’t stop.” I chuckled
slightly, I didn’t know why. Maybe it was the relief of finally
being able to tell someone, to make it real in a way.
     
    “ I tried to be as quiet as I
could, let everything just happen, you know,” I continued. “I felt
my body change. I remember closing my eyes because I didn’t want to
see what was happening and after that it all gets kind of hazy but
I do remember blacking out not long after.” I paused and took a
breath as I looked at Cordillia her face was white, her expression
blank. I didn’t want to but I knew I had to continue, “This is
where it gets crazy.” I sighed. “When the pain stopped and I opened
my eyes, I wasn’t...” I stopped and searched for the right word to
use. “I wasn’t human anymore, I was...” I shook my head. I didn’t
know what to say.
     
    “ What?” she asked defensively. She
didn’t believe me, it was written on her face and to be honest I
hadn’t expected her to.
     
    “ I don’t know.” I searched myself
for what to say, what would make it right but I came up empty with
an exasperated sigh. “I could show you,” I offered. She looked up
at me, her eyebrow raised as she shrugged.
     
    “ Really?” she mocked.
     
    “ I know you don’t believe
me.”
     
    “ That is the understatement of the
century.” She chuckled lightly. “Okay then, show me.” I stood from
the chair and reluctantly and walked to the foot of the bed, the
only open space that my tiny room had to offer. I didn’t know how
to do this, if it was even a good idea but I had to do something.
She watched on as I took off my shirt and tossed it onto the bed,
looking away from her as she stared up at me, her lips twisted in a
mocking grin.
     
    “ Promise me you won’t
run.”
     
    “ Sure.” She chuckled as I readied
myself. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath,
