Chosen Novel

Everything suddenly became completely blurry as ribs cracked. I felt a sharp pain immediately engulf my chest, causing me to cough and splutter, a stream of blood quickly fell out of my lips and down my chin. I think my bone had pierced my lung somehow. My breath was getting more and more difficult to catch.

I knelt there attempting to even out my breathing when my neck cracked I screamed and shouted shaking my head hoping the pain would stop if I asked it, but it was cruelly unrelenting.

My knees tried to bend and snap into place but the way I was sat caused them to get stuck half shifted. I fell to my back as a cry of complete and utter anguish left me.

The night was still... eerily so... in fact the only sound I could genuinely hear was the noise coming from my mouth, signalling the distress of my own affliction.

It genuinely felt like hours before another shriek left me, my foot and ankle the first joint to have been affected, began morphing into an actual paw, only this time it stuck like that. The other leg began to do the same and my shouts became louder, more terror filled almost. I was about to yell to let the world hear my torture however my back snapped, and with it I let out a inaudible gasp, blood once again began to pour out of my mouth, and by the look of the blood currently cascading down my chin, I was close to giving in. I coughed and much like last time, blood came pouring out of my mouth, My breathing became laboured and I felt my head go all fuzzy from the lack of oxygen I was getting.

Before I had time to heave another breath, course thick, almost black Fur began to shoot out of my body and it felt like a thousand needles puncturing my skin at once. Instead of shouting, I bellowed, my voice vibrating through the open air and back to my ears, and the only

thought in my head was Tm going to

die in agony.'

I couldn't breathe, I couldn't cry and I couldn't move. The suffocating realisation that I was actually dying in the palace garden of all places became too munch on top of the torturous affliction.

I let yet another shout slip as I felt

my ears move towards the top of

my head and watched as my nose elongated. Net out a really

its way

animalistic howl of pain, which really freaked me out because it was something that I was never expecting. Lastly a tail forced out of my back. It felt like was being stabbed with a machete right in my lower back, and I once again I howled at the pure agony of it all.

Once I was fully in wolf form, I fell onto my side, I heaved up and down my breathing laboured and my chest felt heavy and sore. The pain still full force coursing through my body.

I breathed in and out, then I felt my

rib click into place, almost as if it had magically healed. I gasped and let in a deep breath, finally after

hours and hours, I was able to let the

air fully enter my lungs.

I panted with my eyes tight shut to get my breath back. I was tired and all I wanted to do was to sleep, but I knew I couldn't.

No! What had just happened to me was pure undeserved torture! Lady Lorellia would pay for what she has done to me, in the past and now.

I wouldn't rest, until I've slaughtered that woman.
