HALCYON

Hal shook his head furiously. He couldn't accept it. If he were a werewolf, wouldn't his mother have told him? Told him anything? This had to be a dream. He watched claws push out where his fingernails normally are. He groaned, struggling to keep himself human. "This is a dream, this is a dream." A tail began forming at the base of his spine, stretching the skin in the area, causing Hal to lurch forward. He growled now, foam pooling from his mouth as his snout extended. "Wake up!" He screamed, echoing through the empty parking lot where he and Ash stood. And then, there was blackness again.

A six foot something creature limped towards Ash, with feral eyes. He cocked his head, teeth still bared. "Help me?" His voice was not Hal's, it was a mixture of beast and sickly human. The visible eye was a bright yellow, focusing in on Ash. He let out what sounded like a bellowing laugh before lunging towards the girl. He couldn't control it. It was either fear, or a desperate hunger that led him to chase her. He needed to bite down on something, anything!
