Oren.
“Bastard,” He snapped. “What kind of man hurts his family?”
“The kind that isn’t afraid to do what is necessary!” Oren laughed, a harsh biting sound that made Melissa recoil.
“Get out of my way, you oversized beefcake. Before I skewer you.”
“Good luck with that,” Barrett snarled before tossing his blade aside.
Oren watched him, surprised before his expression paled.
Melissa wiped her eyes, shivering against dirt and scratching foliage. Yet all her movements ceased when she saw the change taking over Barrett’s body.
His muscles bulged, hands becoming large as follicles of hair thickened and expanded all over his skin. His face elongated as his teeth began to sharpen and extend.
His hair grew over his head, reaching down his back as his body transformed. In sheer moments, this man was completely taken over by the appearance of a huge beast. Its form was a bear.
You don’t even know what I am. Barrett’s words echoed in Melissa’s mind as she gasped and pushed away. What if I was?
Oren let out a shout, falling back as the Bear fell over on huge paws before advancing with a loud roar.
The shock ebbed away now that the Bear was taking steps forward, swiping huge paws and elongated claws in swift movements.
A monster…?
Then, from the corner of her eyes, Melissa saw the buyer rush to his feet, holding high a gun and aiming it at the beast.
Melissa shrieked, “Barrett, look out!! ”
The bear fell to its paws. Gunfire cracked through the air in an explosion that made her ears ring. Wood from a tree splintered away and the Bear whirled around before lunging. The Buyer let out a scream of fright, gun falling from his hand as he scrambled away.
The Bear’s massive jaw snapped out, biting down over the buyer’s neck and twisting. Melissa looked away before she could see any more, hearing the Buyer’s voice hitch in a choke before falling eerily quiet.
Oren let out another cry and when Melissa looked up he was running into the woods. The Bear turned around, it’s maw stained in crimson before it began to give chase.
Melissa staggered to her feet, crying out.
“Barrett, no! Leave him!”
It was too late to call him back, and Melissa tried to run after them.
In the distance, she witnessed the bear catch up to her step-father. She saw it tackled him to the ground.
She heard a roar, then a final scream. Her feet ached and her body throbbed with cuts and bruises, yet the frantic desire to get close to Barrett overwhelmed her fear. She hoped that he was alright.
When she got close, she saw the collapsed figure of her stepfather’s body, and even saw blood over bush and dirt. She gasped and nearly stumbled to her knees, but she pushed forward.
She reached the bear, landed close to it before reaching out and grabbing its fur.
Suddenly, its head whipped around, roaring in her face and making her nearly pull away in fright.
The animal’s growl stopped short, and she saw recognition churn within its black eyes.
“Barrett,” she whispered desperately, shaking violently against it.
“Barrett, please…”
Something passed through its eyes, and the more she looked into them, the more she could see human emotions.
Surprise, fear, shock, relief…
It looked away, before shuddering against her hands.
Melissa dug her fingers tighter, worried something was wrong.
Instead, it began to change, its huge body returning to a familiar shape and familiar heat.
She could feel the transformation against her hands, and she couldn’t hold back the gasp of amazement, as she hardly believed what she saw.
“Melissa…?”
She heard, the voice low and rich and almost animalistic but familiar.
When he looked back up, his face was familiar and his skin felt like how she had memorized.
“You’re okay,” she breathed, jumping against him and wrapping her arms tight around his neck.
“Barrett…oh, Barrett.”
Her mouth found his skin and the urge to kiss him took force, making her plant
