Nobody ever gets it right the first time. " Oʜ, Aɴɴᴇ, ʀɪɢʜᴛ? Lɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴏʀᴘʜᴀɴ?" I'm not an orphan, I ran away. "Anne, the 'e' is silent." My mother said it was her sisters name. " Wᴇʟʟ, ᴀɴʏᴡᴀʏs, ᴀʀᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇxᴄɪᴛᴇᴅ?" Excited for what? You leaving? " I don't understand." The woman pulled something out of her duffle bag. It was a thin, small slip of rectangular paper. " Fᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴀɴsғᴏʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ, I ᴍᴇᴀɴ." I looked down at the floor, seeing a clouded reflection of myself on the newly mopped tile. I could see why she would assume I would be going through my transformation phase soon, I'd already was starting to resemble my other form. I looked up at the lady. " I've heard it's extremely painful." The woman scoffed. "Tʜᴀᴛ's ɴᴏᴛ ᴀ ᴠᴇʀʏ ɢᴏᴏᴅ ᴡᴀʏ ᴛᴏ ʟᴏᴏᴋ ᴀᴛ ɪᴛ. Tʜᴇ ᴡᴀʏ I sᴇᴇ ɪᴛ, ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀɪɴ ɪs ᴡᴏʀᴛʜ ɪᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴅ." But why? Why go through the pain just to come into contact with the other side of me? I don't want to change. I said nothing. The woman locked her eyes with mine, a sour-looking smile on her face. " Yᴏᴜ'ʀᴇ ᴊᴜsᴛ ʟɪᴋᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ғᴀᴛʜᴇʀ, ᴀʀᴇɴ'ᴛ ʏᴏᴜ." I'm not my father and I will better myself so that I will never be that disgusting facade of a man. " I'm not my father ma'am and I would ask you to not relate me to any of my kin." The woman sighed, looking down to the floor. " Wʜʏ'ᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏ ɪᴛ, 'Aɴɴᴇ'? Wʜʏ'ᴅ ʏᴏᴜ ʀᴜɴ ᴀᴡᴀʏ ғʀᴏᴍ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴘᴇʀғᴇᴄᴛ ʟɪᴛᴛʟᴇ ʟɪғᴇ ᴜᴘ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪʟʟs? Yᴏᴜ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴇᴏᴘʟᴇ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ʜᴇʀᴇ ᴡᴏᴜʟᴅ ᴅɪᴇ ғᴏʀ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ, sᴏ ᴡʜʏ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ʜᴇʀᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴏᴄᴋ ᴜs?" Oh, now she wants to get serious. Finally. " I am not here to mock any of you and your townspeople, I came here to warn you." The woman looked up. "Oʜ ʏᴇs, ᴡʜᴀᴛ ᴅᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ᴡᴀʀɴ ᴜs ᴏғ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴄᴏᴜʟᴅ ʙᴇ sᴏ ᴜʀɢᴇɴᴛ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ ᴅᴀʏ ᴛʀɪᴘ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴍɪᴅᴅʟᴇ ᴏғ ɴᴏᴡʜᴇʀᴇ?" There was a long, silent pause. " They're coming, ma'am. This is not something you can see, but it will come for you. Anybody who has transformed, that's who it targets. I-I don't know how else to explain it, I haven't seen it myself. I worry that it will come to your valley next." The woman sat there, unmoving. " Ma'am?" I waited. And waited. It had taken her. I had to get out before it could spread to the others. -⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨-⃨- Okay, so here's the deal here: A person's transformation is( in this universe) happens when a person turns 15. The 'transformation' part is when a person will start experiencing changes in the tone of their skin, usually in big areas around one's eyes, hands, feet, and back. This happens because in every person in this universe, there is another being inside a single body. During childhood this being is still growing in a dormant state in the person's mind. From the ages 15 to 16, this being stops growing and will take control of the body. The changes of tone in skin is because of the being not being used to operating a body. The being can shape-shift, learn to make the body shape-shift, and will do so according to what kind of adult people it's following. For example, if the person's parent had a somewhat almond skin tone, the being would want to copy the parent, as it knows that the parent is somebody to look up to. After the transformation, the being and person will be able to be co-conscious in the mind of the body, and be able to both use the being's power. See, the being is what some would call a supernatural being, and it could've easily just taken over the planet the people live on. However, the beings cannot physically operate objects like people can, and need to be in people's bodies to do so. With the vessel the beings had came on demolished for an unknown reason, the only way the beings can survive is taking over people's bodies. So, using some form of magic, the beings found a way to be able to exist within the people's minds. Oh and Anne's crying because of what happened to her family.
