Chapter 14: Shifted
Chapter Fourteen - Shifted
After having a filled stomach, the only thing left on Laurel’s mind was to train.
"It’s been years since I felt the sensation of being in wolf form." she groaned, rubbing her stomach. She left the ground, stretched a bit then sighed. "Let’s shift, Elma."
Her wolf, who was at peace, got alarmed. Was she crazy? "If we get caught? Don’t feel too confident because you bullied a prison guard!"
Laurel began taking off her dress. It reeked badly of sweat and algae but she had gotten used to it.
For days now, she hadn’t taken a bath but it wasn’t her problem. She stretched again, wearing only a tiny singlet and shorts, she hid behind a pillar and stooped down.
"Are we seriously doing this?" Elma still had her concerns. If they get caught, it’d be seen as rebelling.
"Are you ready?" Laurel laughed. "We are already in prison? Where else will they take us to if they see us breaking their rules?"
"The afterlife?!" Her wolf replied, sarcastically.
Still, she knew that shifting and training could be the only exercise Laurel could get to be stronger.
Laurel consciously began shifting, giving the control of not just her strength but her body to Elma.
Though her eyes were closed, she could sense the tiny hairs sprouting from her skin. She opened her eyes to take a look and gasped.
