One Day, I Woke Up A Werewolf

Chapter 22

Hailey's POV

My eyes, still golden through the mirror, I close them and open them again and they were still golden.

I step away from the mirror, hoping the distance will fix things but nothing.

I feel a stabbing pain on my chest, making me fall to the ground, scratching at my chest. Nothing helps

so I crawl to my bed and climb on it, throwing myself on it and laying on my back wishing the pain away

but it only grew from my chest to my limbs. It was as if someone was stretching my bones and pulling

away, then starting again. I couldn't find my voice to scream, my mouth wide open and dry but nothing

coming out as I lay on my bed in pain.

'Just relax. I know it hurts but allow your body to go through this.' The voice in my head says to me and

I start to panic.

I forget how to breath, having to forcibly breath through my mouth as I talk to myself, saying breath in

my head over and over again.

Just as I start to breath normally, my leg twists itself before being stretched again. Trying to scream

again but nothing comes out of my dry parched mouth. Every second, a bone breaks only to repair

itself and to break again. The feeling of wanting to die now began to grow, trying to forget how to breath

but my body fighting against me.. how can I go on? Breaking bones one after the other, I want this to

stop and if I die then so be it because this is beyond excruciating. My jaw begins to ache and I feel like

my teeth are about to fall out.

I don't even know what's going on with my body, there is no scientific explanation to make sense of all

of this and how am I still alive with all this pain?

A white noise plays around my room and then it stops.

Everything stops. The pain disappears and I feel my heart beat a little slower as I catch my breath.

I run my tongue over my teeth to make sure everything was still intact and it was. I quickly stand up to

look in the mirror, only to look back at my normal self.

I shake my head in disbelief, grabbing my phone to call my new dad only to realize it was almost 4 in

the morning.

This would mean, I've been in pain for hours and hours, unable to scream for help as the rest of the

students sleep peacefully unaware of what was going on in my room, with me.

I dial his number nonetheless, hoping to get him to take me to a doctor. I must have every bone and

muscle checked out. A dentist too.

"Hello?" He answers groggily.

"Theo. I don't know what happened but a minute ago, my bones were breaking and my jaw felt like it

was about to break. I have never felt that kind of pain before and it lasted for hours." I ramble on. Theo

silent on the other end.

"I'm on my way." Is all he says to me before hanging up.

I decide to change out of my sweaty damp clothes and in to a fresh pair of leggings, a sports bra and

my oversized cardigan. My body felt fine, no after pain or muscle pain. It was as if nothing happened

and I imagined it all.

Did I? Did I fall asleep and have a nightmare so believable that I actually think is true? No. This

happened and I I awake through it all. The pain was too real I convince myself as I button up my

cardigan and grab my phone.

I walk out of my dorm room to try meet Theo outside the building and as soon as I walk out the door,

his car pulls up. Running to it, I open the door and jump right in.

"A doctor has to make sense of all of this. The one minute my eyes took a golden color and the next

my bones were breaking. Please don't say I'm crazy, I'm not. I swear this happened and I need a doctor

to explain what is happening because I can't make sense of it, I can't make sense of anything right

now." I say, tears streaming down my face.

A sense of relief flooded my body when I got in to Theo's car. Maybe just being around a parent,

stranger or not brought some sort of comfort to me. Some normalcy.

"It's okay. We will get to the bottom of this." Theo says to me before driving away. I look up at the

building as we drive away and a pair of ice blue eyes looking back at me through a window. I

immediately look away, having seen enough.

I watch the car pull away from the school, the clean school grounds so inviting as the grass glistens in

the night, the statue of an ancient Mr Gellar shining through as one of the street lights hang over him.

I think of Jaxon and what transpired before the crazy. I broke up with him because he hugged Azuri.

What did he do to me that made me trust him less? It can't be that because he's a bully he's a cheat.

No.

Maybe it's because he wanted us to be secret that put us here but I agreed to it in fear of Azuri's

actions. I look at Theo, seeing him focus on his driving as we drive through the fog. He was a man of

few words so making up conversation was pointless as it would die down as quickly as it started.

So, we drive in silence, through the misty darkness that was this weird town. Theo looked to be so

deep in thought now, even though he was focused on the road..

Ha! Probably asking himself how he got himself in to this mess. A crazy daughter who said she had

broken bones and a broken jaw but seeming just fine.

Theo looks at me curiously before looking away and turning on the radio. The way his eyes scanned

over me, his eyes told me something. I get this idea that he knew what I was thinking, making me kind

of believe that I am going crazy.

I look away, trying to look out the window to see something else, think of something else and a pair of

golden eyes reflect on the window, snapping me out of my thoughts as I close my eyes and pray the

golden color away.

I open my eyes and they were still there. I close my eyes again, this time a little longer but when I open

my eyes, they were still golden.

Although, what I didn't think about at first is that I could see clearly in the dark. I could see past the

foggy night as we drive and I could see further than I could before.

In the night, I could see color as if someone switched on the light but I knew it was dark, too dark to be

able to tell that a car we just drove past was navy blue.

Too dark to be able to see that we had driven past civilization and were now driving past a forest with

very tall trees with no street lights. Was Theo sending me away to crazy camp? Did he think I've lost it?

Could I actually blame him?

No.

I'd think I was crazy too if I didn't experience this myself.

It was confirmed, to him, I had lost it. How do you explain you had broken bones if your bones aren't

broken at all? Oh bugger.

The car comes to a halt and I look through the window, past my own reflection and the golden eyes to

see a wooden mansion in the woods. I turn to face Theo, to explain why we were in the middle of

nowhere and he gets thr hint.

"This is my house. We will stay here until sunrise until we can see a doctor later." He says to me and I

shake my head no, with my eyes closed.

"We can go to the ER! I am not going through this again. I need to see a doctor!" I shout out.

Theo ignores me and steps out of the car. He walks around and opens my door, stepping aside so I

could get out of the car. When he sees me still seated and buckled in, he reaches in and unbuckles my

seatbelt and carries me out.

He throws my ass on the cold wet grass before closing the door and turning to face me. His demeanor

changes and I feel some sort of power radiating off of him as he walks towards me, stopping at my feet.

His eyes change to a golden color, the very same one I looked in to through the mirror. Golden, my

golden color and then he somewhat roars at me. I'm taken aback for a second, wondering what was Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

happening and then it starts again.

The pain erupts in my body, all over my body this time as I feel all my bones break at the same time. I

find my voice this time, releasing a scream to match the pain I was feeling.

Theo walks around me, never taking his eyes off me.

My bones begin to stretch again, pulling at each other and the pain taking it's toll on me, as I start to

see black dots around me.

"Allow me." The voice in my head says to me and I feel as if I have been pushed to the back seat but I

could still see as if I'm in the front.

I can feel that I'm not in control anymore. That the voice in my head is actually real and it has taken

over my body. Trying to digest what was happening, the pain dissipating the more I lose control, I see

Theo starting to undress himself.

I can't move as I'm not in control anymore and all I can do is watch as my biological father stands

before me, stark naked. I can't even close my eyes but in less than 10 seconds, what was once my

father, where my father was standing, stood a tall all powerful black wolf.

The black wolf, that held so much power, keeping me rooted in place walked around me, checking for

injuries and how I knew that, I don't know.

Once satisfied he steps aside and I start to move towards the car. Excited that I will be running away

from this animal. Hoping Theo left his keys in the ignition, I come face to face with another black wolf.

There was no reflection of me, just a big black wolf but when the other black wolf stands beside us, I

see how small this one is.

Wait, where am I? What am I? Hold on!

'He is the alpha, our father. He is bigger than you because he holds the power but you will soon be just

as powerful if not more soon.' The voice goes again.

'I'm sorry for freaking you out. My name is Adira and I am your wolf. What you see in front of you is us,

you and me in animal form.' Adira explains but I'm really not listening as I look at my own reflection.

Adira gets the message and I feel my bones break again, but this lasts only a few seconds and I find

myself on my knees. Looking back up to see what happened, I see my eyes, my normal eyes looking

back at me and I let out a sigh of relief.

I look to the other black wolf and it changes back to Theo. I watched the hairs disappear in to the skin

and Theo reappearing where a wolf once was.

"What the?" I say before blacking out completely and hearing Theo say, "I got you." Before I'm

completely engulfed in to the darkness.
