12 The transformation

Richard was right. That was the first level of pain. Right now, I am experiencing the most painful time in my 16 year life. I wanted to scream to ease my suffer, but thanks to Richard, my mouth was sealed shut.

I felt the muscles degenerating and being eaten by an unknown source. My mind was becoming smaller and smaller. I felt my memory going away.

Who am l? Where am I? What am I? Who immobilized me? And... What is the meaning of immobilized?

I looked at my body and saw that it was becoming blue, and filled with scales. I felt something burning at my forehead, though I couldn't know what was it.

I slept for at least a week. Finally, the torment stopped, because I couldn't feel anything. I have became a beast, and the only thought I had in my head was one word: 'Destroy!'

The freezing charm no loger had any effect on me. I shot myself up and summoned a violent gust of wind and swept it through the room. Apparently, the room didn't want to exist anymore, so it let me destroy it with ease.

I ran out of the destroyed room and growled at everything in my way and destroyed them. The time was night.

A man appeared from the darkness of the night with a serious expression on his face. I felt that he was familiar, but couldn't think who was he. I didn't care. I run towards him and attacked. He evaded my attack and threw me to the ground, crushing me. I felt my bones were reduced to dust, but in an instant, everything healed. I recharged at the man and threw my fist at him amd he did the same. Our fists collided, an explosion happened that crumbled everything. Blood flowed from the man's mouth.

He attacked with more force and ferocity. My body was bathed with my own blood. I was completely overwhelmed and overpowered, but that didn't stop me from attacking. You can't blame me, I wasn't even thinking.

As my anger rose, two scaled wings emerged from my back. It took me some time to realize that I was transforming into a dragon.

I had a large snake core, scaled face, blue scales and skin, and two huge wings. I exhaled, and white fog came out of my nostrils, then everything around us became iced.

The man in front of me turned to a big black bird. The bird cried and sent a beautiful cry. But this beautiful cry had turned me dizzy, and I fainted.

I woke up in the hospital wing. Tulip was sitting next to me reading a book. For the first time in days, the pain disappeared. My mind became clearer and I could feel my soul. I looked at my hands, they had returned to their normal white color, though more paler.

"On your left", I said to her.

She turned her head towards me and hugged me so hard that I couldn't breathe. It was the first time we ever touched ; her hug was so gentle that I hugged her back. Then she sensed the awkward moment and punched me in the face.

"Ow", I complained, though I didn't feel any pain, she was the one that felt it.

"YOU BLOOD HEADED FOOL!", she screamed at me, "YOU HAVE SLEPT FOR TWO ENTIRE WEEKS!"

"I what?"

She caught her breath and said calmly, "Yes, you have slept for two weeks. Every night you woke up like a crazy and started to destroy everything. Richard had to beat you up every time you woke up".

"Oh no. No no no. This isn't acceptable", I said in a crazy tone. Then I calmed myself and said, "I guess you now have something to joke about for a lifetime".

She laughed. Over the year, we have became too close to each other.

"Um... There is something that Richard forbade me from telling you", she said hesitantly, "but I am going to say it no matter".

"What is it?"

"Every night you would transform into a blue scaled dragon. When you breathed, ice came out instead of fire".

"WHAT?"

"Yeah, and Richard had to turn into phoenix in order to calm you".

Oh great. That is the only thing I needed.

"Have you checked your changes?"

"What changes?"

"Look", she handed me a rectangular mirror.

Oh my God. My body had became muscular. My hair had turned into complete white color, and my eyes transformed to blue.

It appeared as if someone had photoshoped me. My body was always average, not too muscular but not too skinny. And my eyes and hair, they were always black-brown.

"It bothers me to say this, but...", she said while teasing me, "You are handsome"

Wow. Tulip had never said something positive about me. I thought this was one of her mocking jokes, but she sounded serious.

Without any warning, the burning sensation returned to my forehead. And I passed out yet again.
