“Hey, let's look something up!” Charles said to me. I had nothing better to do. I nodded and walked over to my desktop. "Look up something spooky, like... magic... and, I don't know, werewolf?" I typed in “werewolf spell” into the search bar. It was a few hours before halloween night and since we weren't trick or treating, so we were board. The browser loaded, and a list of youtube videos came up. I scrolled until I found a non-video result. I clicked on it, something called “spellmatrix.com”. There was a PDF file called WerePspellinstructions.pdf, Along with a long winded description of the “spell.” I right clicked on the pdf file, and selected open.
“What dose the “P” in “WereP” stand for?” I asked out loud.
“Dunno Njeri.” Charles replied. I know, Njeri is a weird name. It gets weirder. My middle name is Ujk. So my middle and first name is “Njeri-Ujk”. It means… I’m not sure what it means actually. We should look that up.
I clicked on the PDF, and it opened up. It was a picture of some sort of ancient tattered scroll, but I could read the text on it.
“It says… you have to read this ‘incantation’ on the day before a full moon, tonight’s a full moon!” Charles said, an evil grin on his face.
“Fiiiiine… I’ll cast the stupid spell.” I groaned, So, I began to read the spell. “Magicae. Facientque mihi paululum equus! Facientque mihi paululum equus! Facientque mihi paululum equus! FACIENTQUE MIHI PAULULUM EQUUS!!!” I read, in a mock spooky sorcerer voice. I wiggled my fingers at Charles for “affect.” The light flickered as I finished the chant. Charles looked around, worry briefly crossing his face. I began to laugh.
“It’s just a flickering light man!” I said between laughs.
“Why do I feel like we screwed up?” Charles asked.
Me and Charles walked through the woods behind our houses, as a shortcut to some Halloween party on “the other side.”
Sure it was the other side of the woods, but just saying “other side” made it sound more creepy.
“Better get a move on, or the crusaders will turn up.” Charles said. The Crusaders were three local kids who were SUPER into “My Little Pony,” even naming their club after… after… I don’t know, it was something in the show. I’m not sure, but I think one of them even goes by one of the character’s name! I looked up at the sky, the clouds parting to reveal a full moon.
“Hey Charles, when do you think I’m gonna turn?” I asked evilly.
“Any minute now.” He replied laughing. Then, the cramping started.
“Gah! My stomach!” I cried. Charles walked over to me.
“Hey man, you OK?” He asked. Suddenly, I felt hot. REALLY, hot. I wasn’t sure, but I thought I could feel something coming out of my mouth.
“Wha? Wha do a faa so waa?” I asked, it coming out way different than what I was wanting.
“Dude put your tongue back in… no homo.” Charles said.
“Oh yu…” Wait, my tongue was out? I bit down a bit, and my tongue was indeed out of my mouth. I tried pulling it back in. But… it wouldn’t go… And nobody better say “that’s what she said!”
“Dude! Your tongue's orange!” Charles shouted, stumbling backwards. “AND YOUR HAIR’S RED!!!” I quickly reached up and grabbed some of my hair, and pulled it out far enough to see it. It was red. A tingly good feeling crossed over my face.
“WHAT THE HAY!?!” I screamed, covering my mouth. I had meant to say “hell,” but it came out hay!
“Your eyes!” Charles started backing away. Then it hit me.
“I’m a werewolf!” I realised. “Oh my god that spell worked!” Charles looked at me.
“A werewolf, with red hair.”
“Ok, then I’m a were something. Wait… how am I talking?” I asked. Charles looked at me.
“You have a muzzle!” I moved my hands to my face, only to feel a fuzzy muzzle. Charles opened his mouth again, but this time I knew what he was gonna say.
“Yes, fur, I know.”
"It's... Blue." He stated flatly. "Dose... Does it hurt?" He asked. "Not really," I shook my head. "It just feels weird... kinda good." Speaking of feeling weird, I felt it in my hand. I raised it up and looked at it (expecting a claw) only to see a stub.
This surprised a small scream out of me.
"Isn't that... A hoof?" Charles asked.
"Why yes, I believe it is." I responded. Ok, we sounded way more calm than we actually we were quivering with fear. A tingling, and an audible crack from my spine sent me to all fours. "GAH!" That's when my pants fell off, revealing a pony's but... With a full moon tattoo. "Don't." I shushed Charles. He was going to make some joke about it, and I am NOT having that. More tingling filled my new horse body. I moaned as the world started to spin.
"Hey! What's happening?" I asked.
"Dude, you're shrinking!" Charles said. Then, everything stopped. "Nigey?" Charles asked.
"I think... I'm gonna be sick..." And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it happened.
The crusaders showed up.
