"How is that possible!?" The words echoed throughout the whole cave, Dani shrugged, "Ummm...well-"
"I'll tell you," I said quietly and everyone looked at me in surprise, "You deserve to know what I've done," I closed my eyes and the memories raced in my mind, I began to explain.
-One Year Ago-
"Haha! Look at the animal!" My own laughter rang in my ears along with the laughter of the three other boys.
A deer-half breed was face down on the ground with scratches all over her body and blood matting her hair. She was trying to crawl away, her arms desperately dragging her body.
I grabbed another rock and threw it at her, or rather "it" to me. The rock hit her shoulder hard and she cried out in pain and stopped moving to hold her shoulder.
Half-breeds, to me they were scum, unfit to even exist, and I made sure they knew it. Half-animal? Just the word sounded disgusting. A human crossed with an animal? Repulsive.
The boys next to me, they weren't friends, just some people who happened to agree with me. Dad and Mom? They didn't care, they never cared. I was sick of them, my dads angry, drunken shouts and my moms crying. They were too absorbed with their own lives to care about their own child.
And so I was there, with a halfer twisting pathetically in the dirt.
"Get lost freak. I'm sure there's an empty cage in a pet shop somewhere for you to occupy." I turned and walked away, the three boys (I didn't even remember their names) snickering beside me and a ugly smirk on my face.
A whisper came from behind me, so quiet that I could barely hear it, "I...curse you."
I turned around, "Oh, you have something to say mongrel?"
She just stared at me coldly with her two brown eyes, in a way that made me shiver, "I curse you that you may know the pain that my kind have endured, may you feel the suffering felt with every tear that has been shed. In the light of all animals, may your true form show and never disapear again from your soul. I curse you..."
The words made the hairs on the back of my neck raise but I didn't show it. I walked over to her and grabbed her by her hair and lifted her head so that we were face to face. "Let me tell you something. You're nothing, you were a mistake of nature. So get off your high horse and go live your barbaric life in the wild." The steely look in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with a hopeless, despairing one. I got up and kicked her in the stomach, her breath whooshed out of her. I turned away and kept on walking, "...I curse...you..." she muttered over and over.
Two weeks passed and I already forgot the deer-girl, the three boys and I were wandering around. One of them had just got away with stealing his fathers gun and was brandishing it like a prize. They were discussing amongst themselves how they'd use it. I didn't care, they just choose to follow me, they were nothing to me.
It was a cloudy night, the moon had not shown itself at all. I looked up and a strong wind blew and the moon was revealed, full and shinning. As soon as it's pale light shown on me I felt as if I was encased in ice, as if I had been chilled right down to my heart. I felt my skin changing and getting bigger. My hair turned silver as if it had absorbed the moonlight and it sprouted all over me. I opened my mouth but it wasn't a mouth anymore, it was jaws with gleaming, sharp teeth. I tried to speak but all that came out was the roar of a beast.
I was a bear half-breed, I was what I despised. The words of the deer girl echoed in my head, "...may you know the pain my kind have endured..." I didn't know what to think, I was shocked, I felt like icy water was running in my veins instead of blood. I heard a movement behind me and I turned around, it was the three boys, now cowering in fear.
"Y-you animal, y-you disgusting f-freak," one of them stuttered, the boy with the gun raised it and pointed it at me. The shot was fired. I had become what I despised. "I curse you..."
