Envisions of Hallewell

The First Change

    I call aunt Odessa right away, sealing my room from any prying ears or eyes. She answered on the fourth chime.

    "Merry meet young niece. Is everything all right? You look frazzled, my dear. Talk to me." She says as her image appears above the ball. Her dark cape tied along her neck, her hair in a ponytail on her right shoulder.

    "Merry meet Auntie. No, I am not all right. I am being pestered by your son's unending infatuation and I do not share his feelings. He kinda creeps me out Auntie. I don't know what to do." I reply softly, sitting rigidly on my chair in front of my ball.

    The look on my aunt's face was blank. I could tell she was trying to figure out what to say. I bit my bottom lip, waiting for her to say something that will help me. Cookie flew to me and landed on my shoulder. I pet her soft feathers lightly, trying to calm myself. She rubs her head against mine, her way of comforting me.

    Aunt Odessa notices a tear slide down my cheek as does Cookie. Cookie wipes it away with her wing, cooing. Odessa clears her throat then says "My sweet beautiful niece, I am sorry about Trent. My son does not listen very well, but I will try to get him to listen to reason. Cheer up now my sweet niece, everything will be fine."

    We hang up and I just sit there, letting my thoughts run through my head. Cookie still on my shoulder, nudges me with her head, wanting a rub. My hand rests on her soft feathers, lightly petting as she coos like a baby. I wave my other hand at her and she turns into a little old woman, sitting on the edge of my bed. Her dark black hair had some silver streaks showing her wisdom. Her wide black eyes wrinkled with time but kind. I drape a big old blanket over her shoulders as she was nude. She has native american blood in her, old magic and dark skin. She smiled as she reached her hands over the edges to cover herself up more before standing.

    "Thank you young one. These old bones needed a stretch. It has been a long while since I was in human. At least now I can hold you like you need to. Come now young one, let me try to ease the pain in your heart." She opens her arms wide as I collapse in her arms and have a long sob. My tears stain the blanket where her shoulder is. Her long old fingers weave through my hair, soothing me.

    After the tears stopped and I could breathe easier, Cookie places her hands on my cheeks, wiping the rest of the tears away. "Now young one, tell me why you are so upset. Tell old Cookie." Her wise old voice is so soothing and trust worthy. My words just spill out.

"Well, the fact that Trent is wanting me to be his is only tip of the mountain. There is still the fact that I am a half breed and still not exactly certain how I came to be exactly. I am not supposed to exist it seems in this realm from all I have learned from school. Who is my father, and what does he look like? Why isn't he here to help raise me? Doesn't he want me? Mother, I know loves me but she is hardly here with Zander and me. What will happen if Zander learnd about my other half and is afraid of me? I'm scared." My eyes fill up with tears again as I tell Cookie all this.

    Her all knowing black eyes just looked into mine, listening to my words and comforting me. SugarCube flies and lands on my head, her little body warm. I wave my hand toward her and she changes into a human child next to me on the bed. She blinks her wide doe like light purple eyes. Her short light brown hair glowing lightly in my dimly lit room. I let her use my jacket to cover herself. She smiled brightly as only an innocent child can. She starts to jump up and down on my bed, happily having longer legs. I smile as she finally sits down next to me and curls up next to me.

    "Hi hi hi hi hi!!!!!! Thank you miss Bella! I like being able to hug you like this. I like being your pet and friend. You are the bestest owner and friend ever!!!! I love you miss." SugarCubes little voice says as she kisses my cheek. I hug her little body closely to me. I smile as I look at my two closest friends, feeling a little better.

I vaguly remember my aunt telling me only certain witches have this power to grant human form willingly to animals. Aunt Odessa, my mother, and a few others possess this ability. Only my mother, aunt Odessa, and Minni know I possess this gift. I was told to not share with others, for some may see this wonderful gift as a threat to the way all supernaturals live. I can understand the fear. I was 5 when mother saw I had the gift when I first changed Cookie to human.

    After having a heart to heart with Cookie and SugarCube, they both give me little aid with my homework. SugarCube just wanted to color, which I didn't mind, while Cookie helped me with her wisdom with the spell. After I got halfway, I yawned and took a long stretch. It was rather late and I do have school in the morning. I put all my papers into my Lisa Frank backpack so I won't forget anything in the morning. I changed both pets/friends back into their animal form and walk into my bathroom.

    To my left were two sinks beneath a large mirrior, I had a toilet behind a little wall, a large clawfoot tub and a shower with many shower heads. A very big bathroom all for me and if I choose to have a sleepover, which has been a very long time. I turn the hot water on in the tub and grab my bubble bath to take a long soak to relax. My mother helped me make my bubble bath soap. The bubbles give off the aroma of being near a lake, fresh clean water, with trees and flowers nearby. It is easily one of my favorite smells. I play my Ipod on my speaker before I undress and step into the tub, fully submerging my body up to my neck. This massive tub lets everything go underwater and it is magnificent. The heat plus the soap help relax my muscles as I close my eyes.

    My ipod was playing my 90's playlist, mainly Backstreet Boys, Nsync, 98 Degrees, Britney Spears, Green Day, Eminem, R.E.M, Blink 182, Goo Goo Dolls and a few others. Backstreet Boys is my favorite band and I have no shame. After soaking in the tub for almost 90 minutes, I wash my long silver hair with some shampoo my aunt made special for me. It smells of moroccan, argan and camellia oil. It does wonders for my hair, in smell and shine.

After I got out of the tub, I wrap a towel around myself and blow dry my hair. I comb out my hair as it dries with my dryer. My long silver hair is all shiny and clean. I turn the dryer off and let the rest of my hair naturally dry as I braid it. I dry off my body slowly as I walk to my closet.

    Just as I am about to drop my towel, I feel an eerie chill down my spine. Instead of dropping my towel, I tighten it around me as I close my eyes and listen. The hair on the back of my neck stands up. I can feel my eyes changing color as my fangs grow. My hair grew longer as it turns dark blue, my breasts growing a few cup sizes bigger as well as my ass. I open my eyes and all I see is red. I look for Cookie, wanting to ask her what was going on. I see her on her little perch, her black eyes following my movements closely.

    "There was a spell on you, young one, to hide this side of you until you could learn to control it and not hurt anyone. Your mother knew you would change because of your father's blood. Only Minni, Sampson, your mother and us pets know. Everyone here is safe if you should turn and the thirst tries to take over you, even that horrible person Trent is protected. First, you need to calm down and concentrate on your breathing. Second, you will need fresh blood. Third, you need to call your mother and tell her you had your first change." My wise Cookie tells me as she still studies me.

    I focus on her soothing voice and calming words. I close my eyes as I breathe to calm down. As I feel my aura changing into a calm blue, my breasts and ass shrink back to normal size. I open my eyes and look in the mirrior. I jump with joy as I see my normal sized boobs and ass, along with no fangs. I pick up the towel that was by my feet and walk over to my closet, hanging it on the door. I grab my pokemon pj shorts and tank top and crawl into my lovely soft bed. SugarCube flies and lays above my head, kissing my forehead. I give her a light pat on the head as I snuggle deeper into my bed. I have a rough night sleeping.
