I hide behind a giant oak tree with my back pressed into the rough wood and try to silence my breathing. I reach up and gently touch my shoulder. My fingers come away bloody. I here footsteps as the boy who was once my best friend runs after me. I hear another of his bullets slam into a tree next to mine. I take a deep breath to calm myself. I must remain perfectly calm. I concentrate on focusing my magic. I must attempt the shift, or I know I will die. "Karien, where are you?" Cries the boy. I feel a pain in my chest and see my flesh start to glow gold. I have begun to change. I feel myself fall to the ground, I feel fur grow on my flesh, and claws replace my fingernails. I am a wolf.
