Living as a Skunk: Chapter one
Four years ago, I would never have beleived in magic, sorcery, witchcraft, or any of that kind've stuff. I was naive, and did not understand the world in its cruelty. I was humble, innocent, and all around pure, unbenounced and shelted from the horrors of the world. Reality never really touched me until half way through my freshman year, where all of the truths I held so dear, were shattered from my mind, and my true path began. I remember it like it was only yesterday...
I was late for chemistry class! I couldn't be late my parents would kill me! Thus I ran through the halls, darting this way and that. Five minutes on the clock, I bolted through the halls at top speed to the third wing. The chemistry room was in the other side of the building in the first wing. I ran and ran as fast as I could. I check my watch for a second... four minutes till...I turn up and bam! I slam head first into an unknown door. It flies open with me flying straight through where several flights of stairs happily greeted me. As I tumbled down them I lose my sense of direction and eventually stop where I pass out. I awake to find myself in quite a predicament. The stairs of which I just fell down have disappeared from my vision and all I see is gray concrete and musky fog that hangs over this place like a shroud. I really felt like I shouldn't be here but there was no way out. Having no other options, I followed the path that seemed to lead even deeper into this place. I really had no idea where I was, all the fog and vines on the walls and floor made navigation all but impossible. so without knowing whether I was going in circles or not, I just continued. After about 20 minutes of walking I see a erie light near the horizon of the tunnel. It glowwed an odd purple with a hint of green and flikering tones of red and orange. I catiously approached it to where I find myself over looking a ritual of some kind. There were three of them, each looking about the same since their hoods darkened any facial features. Looking over the edge of the balcony, I could not really tell what was going on, and I didn't want to find out! As such I slowly creapt away from the group, on my way back though I hit a rock as it fell down the steps with a large clunking sound and I froze. Did they see me? I heard a faint whispering in the background and then they all chuckled. At this point I didn't care I ran, but I didn't get far, one of them had fixed his fingers on me and I couldn't move. He slowly lifted his finger up and I roze above the ground. He slowly pointed his finger to the spot in front of him as my body creapt towards the location, while stil not on the ground. He relaxed his concentration as I landed. One of them also pointed at me, a bolt of energy shot from his finger tip to my head. Instantly I felt weak as I colapsed to the floor. He spoke to me.
"Ravashe doobajh...can youh understand?" I nodded
"So you disturb our sacred ritual do you?" He inquired
"No! I just..."
"Enough I know why you're here, I also know who you are. Today is our day of living. A holiday for us..."
"Who are you..."
"Enough! For a day, we become our true self, and since you have disturbed our ritual, you shall share our fate!"
These four began to chant something, my skin turned red, my hands began to burn, my but glowed green, I floated higher and higher in the chamber. I screamed, but I heard nothing. They all pointed their fingers at me at the same time. Then I lost conciousness. When I awoke next, It was from my best friend Nathan.
"Dude where have you been?"
"Huh?" I reply
"Class just started, you better get in here." As it turns out I awoke just outside the chemistry room, just one minute ahead of schedule. I went back later to where I fell, but the door to the staircase had disappeared. I decided not to think much on it, considering what else happened. At first I didn't really think it happened at all. However that day when I got home, I went to check my email and went to my favorite website, Furryfanatics.com. I had been a member there for several years, but as I browsed through the photos and drawings I felt something. A strange sensation that I had never felt before. Then from out of no where my computer screen went black. I fell to the floor in pain and passed out. When I rose next I sat up and immediatly noticed something. when I sat, I felt much more cuishioned then I normally had. I scrathed my head and felt a strange feeling, I looked at my hands and though I was going insane, they were black! I placed my black hand under my chin trying to figure out what was going on. Then I had a sudden realiztion, it was fur! I looked down and saw my whole body was covered in it! I gasped as a strange foregn object came carousing its way past my face. It was my tail! my black and white tail! I ran to the miror and looked at myself. I could not recognise what I saw except for a bipedal, fur-covered, black and white skunk! I looked long and hard into the mirror, and fell to the ground in disbelief.
