A new world
Pain...
Pain was the first thing I felt once I awoke. I need to get a better bed. I try to reach for my pillow only to find out I could not move. Weird...
Open your eyes
Thanks brain. I open my eyes to feel a surge of pain shoot through me as they adjust. Mostly darkness but their was a feint light in the distance. Ok...I'm not in my room...or house. I could feel my heart starting to speed up.
Stay calm
Y-your right brain...again.
Of course I am
...
Ok what is restraining me? I look to my left...vines? Black and spiky vines. I look to my other side to see the same. Ok don't panic. I try to move my legs only to feel spikes... I try and fight against the restrains only to fail.
Didn't your...our mum tell you to ask nicely?
Really? Ask the vines nicely...sure. Well I am talking to my brain so why not?
I try to speak only to hear a squeak. Shoot! I need a drink. "V-vines can you please let me go?" I wait a few seconds to see that they weren't moving. Ha beat that brain! I w-
My chant is cut off as the vines slowly move away from me and deeper into the cave.
Told you
...
Uh...you there?
Body.exe is having problems.
Really?
Restart?
Yes...
"WHAT HAPPENED!"
You crashed
Oh thanks... Guess I should find out where I am. Wait how do I crash? Never mind. I just need to add it to my new list of 'WTF'. I slowly stand up to hear my bones clicking. I slowly make my way towards the light.
Once I arrived I see I was in a cave...Ok? I take a look at my surroundings only to have my heart drop. I'm not on Earth. How do I know? Well Earth is not this colourful. Unless this is the future or past. I know for sure something different. Ahead I could see a waterfall. I felt like I could drink it all.
I just manage to make it there as I drop onto the grass. I use one arm to pull me closer. Heh look at that figure in the water...Wait...I raise my left arm to which the figure copies. Uh...
It's you
I hate to say it but the figure was my reflection. Expect I was different. My black hair was longer and more spiky, my carnivorous teeth were more pointy but what was most noticeable was my eyes. Instead of brown they were red and slit.
Cool
Hmm...I agree brain. I check over myself to find anything else. Nothing. My body was the same and so were my clothes.
This is like a story were the main character notices he/she is different then they get attacked or see a monster.
Growl
Oh come on! I quickly turn to see a wolf...only this was no normal wolf. It's made of wood! I slowly crawl away while it approaches. "Stop!" It came closer while I back into a tree. Crap... The wolf came closer while it licked it's wooden fangs. "Stop or I..." I raise my hand "Or I set you on fire!"
As soon as those words left my mouth the special wolf caught on fire. "W-what?" The wolf howled in pain and ran in circle. Even when this wolf tried to killed me I couldn't let it burn to death. That's too much. I walk over to the howling wolf and kick it into the water. Why didn't it jump in there? I look in to see the wolf sinking. It can't swim can it? I let out a sigh as I take off my shirt. Once that done I jump in after it. Damn my kind mother.
As soon as I'm in reach I grab the panicking wolf and swim up. Of course it had to still panic causing it to crawl and bit at me. Can this wooden wolf even breath underwater?
I could feel my lungs about to give out.
Don't fail me now. With the last of my strength I trust myself up and out of the water. I drag the wolf behind and dump ourselves onto the grass. Tiredness catches up and I can feel myself falling to it's spell. I could hear someone coming closer to me. Please be it someone. No it turn out to be the wolf...baring it's fangs at me...DAMN IT!
Man I had a crazy dream. I slowly open my eyes while ignoring the pain to see I'm in a cave. Damn it! I could hear something coming closer to me. I slowly sift my head to the left to see it's night and...oh come on! A wooden wolf approaching me. It stops a few inches away from my face. "Come to finish the job with me awake?"
The wolf lets out a chuckle. Ok so it understands me. Once it's done laughing it lick me on my nose. Wait what? It then moves away from my face and curls next to me. Uh... The sound of more foot steps snaps me out of my daze and I see 4 more wooden wolves enter the cave. I got ready for an argument or fight but to my surprise they curled up around me.
Seems you got accepted into the pack
Uh...cool?
Cool?
Well who wouldn't want to be in a wolf pack?
Good point
Plus they can help me figure out where I am because last time I check there were no wooden wolves.
I awake to the a weird smell. What is that? I slowly open my eyes to see a dead fish on my lap and a smiling wolf looking at me. "Uhh...thanks but I can't eat that." I point to the fish. "I mean I can but I need to cook it." The wolf tilt it's head in confusion. "Never mind. Thank you." I slowly get up and stretch. I need to find a better place to sleep. I pat the wolf to which it seemed to enjoy. At least he/she brought me something to eat. "Umm do we have any sticks?" The wolf ran off and came back a few seconds later with a pile of sticks. "Thanks..." I begin to set up the sticks so that I have a pile of stick and one to use as a fork.
Ah crap! I need fire!
What about yesterday?
Come again?
I'm pretty sure you set that wolf on fire.
Don't be silly.
Well your not on Earth...or in the right timeline so why not?
Uh...
Checkmate!
But how will I cast/summon fire?
Uh imagine it?
Sure why not.
I stare at the pile of sticks and think of fire. After a while nothing happens. This is stupid.
No keep at it.
Why.
Something off about us
Ok...
I keep at it. After a while I notice a small fire starting to form on the pile. "WOW!" I wish I hadn't done that because the small fire erupted into a huge one causing me to jump back. The wolf came running up to me whimpering. "It's ok." I starch the wolf behind the ear and watch the fire. Seems legit. I slowly go closer only for the wolf to hold me back. "It's ok." I understand it was afraid since wood and fire don't mix. I mange to convince the wolf and go back to the fire.
The wolf rested beside me while I continue the ear scratch. I could tell he/she was enjoying it as, if I am hearing this correct was purring.
Ok brain.
Hm?
WHAT WAS THAT?
Dunno but something is different about us.
Will it kill me?
Uh...no.
Cool.
Cool?
Powers and a new world. Why not?
I...uh...
So we have powers.
Yes.
I stare at the wolf while an idea comes into my mind. Can we shape shift?
Dunno. Why?
Well either this is a different timeline on Earth or we are not on Earth. So being able to blend in as I may be the only human here will be useful.
Good point.
And I know where to start. I raise my right arm much to the wolf dislike and focus on my arm. After a while nothing happened. Damn it!
Focus!
Why?
Just do it!
Ok.
Amazing.
What?
Your insides are changing.
WHAT?
Focus!
Right.
It was my turn to be blown away as I watched my arm slowly turn to wood. Uh...
Quick stop!
Why?
Now!
Ok! However my arm was still wooden. Explain brain.
It seemed you can shape shift but not fully as you all most put too much pressure on your body.
Aw so I can only turn an arm?
*Slap*
Ow. D-did you just slap me?
Yes.
How?
Never mind. The reason I did was because your not seeing the bigger picture. You need to practice in order to get better.
Cool.
Imagen it like Goku.
Aw but's that's work.
So readers our main character spent most of the night trying to turn into a Timberwolf. Each try getting him closer to his goal. Making his curiosity spark as to what else he can do.
Hey who are you and what are you doing here?
Whoops! Gotta go!
*Poke*
That poking has be happening for a hour. "Fine I'm up!" I slowly open my eyes to see the pack staring at me. Somehow over the night I have been able to tell them apart. I look at the wolf at the end. "You told them didn't you?" It nods. "Fine let's try it out."
Brain?
Yes?
We good?
It seems so
I close my eyes and focus on the wooden wolf.
Uh...brain?
Hm?
Why can't I feel my hands?
Open your eyes.
I open my eyes to see each wolf had their jaw open. I wanted to say what but instead was a growl. W-wait when were they eyes level?
Look at yourself stupid!
Thanks...Hey!
I look down to see my idea was correct. I have indeed turn into a wooden wolf and man did it feel weird. I couldn't feel blood flowing through me yet I feel a heart. I wonder if that wooden?
Anyway let's have a test run.
I take one step forward and...fall onto the floor. I could hear the wolves chucking at me. Got to get use to walking on all fours. I felt myself being picked up and notice it was the wolves. Guess they are training me.
And so a short montage happened of our hero/villain. Of learning to be a Timberwolf. From walking, jogging, running and fighting. He lost at the fighting part.
You again!
Gotta go!
I stood in the clearing with the pack behind me. Ok let's do this. I started with a jog which turn into a full sprint and man did it feel good! I felt at one with the forest and knew where to run. The wind zooming by me. I wonder what it's like to fly?
One step at a time.
Right.
I heard a growl next to me making me stop. I turn to see the pack hiding. I join them. I growl out "what's going on?" Now you would think since I am in their form I would be able to understand them...well kind off. It still comes out as a growl or whimper but I can tell what there saying.
"A yellow pegasus is approaching." One growls back.
"So?"
"They are one of the species that live in towns/cities."
So not on earth...and one? "Are they a problem?"
"Just this one."
"Why?"
"These ponies have special talent's. Each one having their own unique one. This one is animals. She can also use something called a 'stare' which will make your fears come out."
"She sounds nice."
I jump back as one tries to bite at me. "No! Well at first it was but she tried to stop us hunting! Tried to take control of our lives!"
Now I realise how smart these wolves are. I'm snapped out of these thoughts by a scream. Sounded like a girl. I look out from my hiding to see the pony in question with a bunny. Wow...a pegasus. What are the chances they speak English? If they call it that. "Come on!"
Right! I jump out after my pack. We have circled around them. What caught my eye was she was shivering. "Don't let that fool you!" I take their word for it.
The bunny jumps off the pony back and walks up to me. I guessing it trying to threaten me. I laugh and pin it to the ground. "S-stop that!" Ah so the pony can talk. "P-please." Heh...she asked nicely. I let go of the bunny to which he gestures for me to come closer. Then he punches my eye. I cry out in pain. "WHY YOU!" I growl out. I raise a paw and backhand him into the pony. "Angle!" So that's the bunny name.
Suddenly her mood snaps. "You meanie!" She flies straight up to me and gives me a uncomfortable look. "Say your sorry mister!"
I could hear my pack saying "The stare!" As they whimper. I just stood there confused. This 'stare' was not very effective.
Nice.
Thanks. I let out a chuckle. Then I take a bite a the pony. She jumps back but looks terrified. "B-but I used the stare!" She was tearing up while her bunny. Who had a black eye. Ha! Was sweating. Guess no one stood up to her 'stare'. I point in front of me. "Y-you want me to leave?" I nod. "B-" I cut her off by letting out a growl. She zips off with her bunny while the pack runs up to me.
I just turn and head towards the cave. I wonder what else I can do?
This is going to be interesting!
Your going to have to turn into a pony.
I know...This may be interesting but damn is it going to be hard work!
