Set in
Year 1971
I'm your average everyday typical high school teenager nothing more nothing less right . I'm nothing but translucent hidden behind Plainview hidden by God's bearing soul. That's sadly not all that I go through I share my mind with two different organisms me and well my cat . It sounds a bit of a stretch I know but im here to explain something to you . My dad back then was a scientist for chemical oxides . I was playing with my dolls at the time trying to show dad my barbie dolls but he was to busy. I was playing around but all at once my playing stopped. A bunch of scientific beakers broke in site their I was acid chemicals melting my face . In that day a bit of my soul transferred not all of it but a bit into the cat . From that day on I had transformed into a cat at night but during the day I was a human just boring old Delilah Beans . I also had certain silly rules to follow such as staying in at night no going trick or treating or going parties or people would think im a freak or a monster because its well unusual to see a cat half human freak walking around ya know . It was really a drag but what else could I do I couldn't argue or I would get grounded or worst taken away to be tested on I couldn't let that happen . I sometimes lay awake at night thinking what could it have been like if I didn't get into the accident if I could be normal and not a monsters lab experiment maybe It was silly to think but man would it be good if I didn't suffer through this nonsense. I don't even sleep overnight at people's houses anymore which is just Plainview of a critical world playing tricks on my mind . At Least I had a few friends ,their names were jessie and joey they had been my friends since kindergarten before the accident. We were close as peas in a pod and nothing would change that not even Meagan steel water my arch enemy since grade school .She had always been the queen bee but I never let her selfishness reflect on my life . I just thought about my academics which had gone down recently. Seriously who gets a F in Biochemistry my father is gonna really dog me for this I probably was gonna have no Tv for weeks .Well anyway I woke up and started my day like I always did in my human body ate breakfast then took a shot so I would remain human through the day . I raced off to school feet dancing on the icy cold pavement like balls of fire dancing on my feet I race onto the bus. Their was no seats unless you count the one by pukey Brian who pukes if the bus is moving. I had no choice to sit their. So help me if he pukes on me this will be the end of the ride for both of us. I sadly got puked on like I predicted and their the queen bee was laughing at me with her friends . People laughed at me as I walked in making me feel trapped between my emotions and my sanity . My eyes were glowing a bit from all the laughing causing me to rush to the Auditorium hoping nobody saw. How could this happen was this even possible I thought I only transformed into this cat-like monster at night not during broad day light not now god not now . I felt disconnected trapped from society trapped in a world that wasn't my own. I want to escape I want to escape but I can't its the
odyssey of the mind unavoidable . Its as if millions of tiny voices were screaming into my skull.The skin melted away into fur and my face grew many whiskers upon whiskers . I had to give myself a shot I had to it was the only way. I searched through my bag quickly. No no no this can't happen god no I can't be seen like this monster. I hid myself in my hoodie not baring to be seen like this . I had to wait under my hood for each class to end except their was one tricky class. Their was this teacher who didn't allow hoods in her class she was the lady named Mrs.Weathers .She was mean to all her students and restrictions were applied such as we couldn't chew bubble gum or wear hoods or dress like hippies or listen to rock music. She was also crude looking she has these gnarly teeth that poke out like spikes and they were deadly sharp. She was taking roll until she spotted me with her red beady eyes that could scare any man or women shitless to death. She hollered for me to come over their and she ordered me to take the hood off my hoodie. She had literally made me cut the hood off. She then snarled "Your short hair makes ya look like a boy"she said then went back to her desk. I touch the top of my hair their was no cat ears thankfully. I felt for my face no whiskers huh guess it just passed. I went on with my day like normal till I found a issue. I still had the tail of course I did just great. I luckily got the shot from my bag and stuck my arm with it getting rid of the side effects . I then head to the bus ramp and find my bus hopping on it . Their had been rumors and trouble brewing about me from the back of the bus as always I just choose to ignore it. I ignore confrontation or any kind it makes me uncomfortable in those situations because nobody ever backed me up in anything not even my good ol pals. I had to face it eventually I have nobody and nobody has me I'm me and your you theirs nobody else but infinite silence that ignites solitude. I have been used to that for so long due to this curse taking toll of my life . When my died of cancer I knew for sure that was true since she was the only one who had my back she told me to never cry be tough. I always have followed her rules through and through. I followed all rules through and through in life you have to fall rules to direct you were you want to go its like driving a car you have to know what your doing before you take the wheel. That's the first step then their is boundaries and after that it kinda fits like a puzzle piece and then your free. I got off the bus and sat by my mothers grave which was heavily covered in flowers. "Huh what's it like to live in solitude must be miserable mom I wish you were here I never see dad anymore he always works I need someone to talk to im kinda losing it if you can't tell my transformations are getting out of hand I transformed in school today man you couldn't have sat through that shit show without panicking cause I sure did" . She gave a sad laugh and got up from the head stone only to turn around to see her dad who had the most angry expression. "Get in the house now!"he yelled at me as if I was in the wrong or something. "What's this about you transforming in school what happened "he said seriously. "Well i got puke on my clothes then boom I started my transformations "I said . My dad wasn't pleased with my response instead he was angry mad even ."I knew I shouldn't have let you go to school your transformations are getting out of hand I want you to stay in this house and never go out of it you can't be trusted its to risky to dangerous. "B-but dad"I said full of emotion breeching in my voice as if I would explode the earth. "No buts up to your room now"He yelled. I sighed and went up to my room burying myself in a pillow. I broke my mother's promise because here I am sobbing like a blubbering fool. Its ok sometimes in life you need to cry but I feel guilty I failed my mother I'm no longer the happy girl I once was im a rotting wilted weed in the face of the earth .I eventually somehow cried myself to sleep more less sobbed myself to sleep. Never in my life had I found myself so close to being lost till now thank you curse for ruining and raining over my existence . Mother earth if your here listening to my sob into the abyss I will hold thy head in horror for I have failed a mother so true oh my mother im sorry for sobbing over nothing . I feel guilty myself but if it weren't for the curse this wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the curse I wouldn't have to hide myself if it weren't for the dumb curse I would have had a normal life been a normal girl not the weird one nobody liked not the one who hid away all her life when its all boiled down its all the curses fault im in this mess. The person to really blame is my dad dare I say that about my father in the good lords name but if he had been watching me I would've been safe secured. I have to live with this because of him I should get revenge yes but my mother told me to never be vengeful . I respect every word my mother says but not my fathers well not anymore at least not lately. I awoke upon hearing a knock. Their the devil was himself my father holding a thing of milk and fish. I then realized I was a cat which meant that food was my dinner for tonight. I longed for a cure so I could eat like a normal person .I sighed not even wanting ot eat the cat food. I then walk on four paws since I was transformed into a cat and I just lay their on my bed thinking of the world I left behind .
