[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
"What happened Angel?" Laurie snapped up quickly "What happened?" Laurie touched her head, she felt a wet bandage wrapped around as she pushed harder she felt a throbbing pain in her head.
"You passed out Laurie" Angel said knealing down and looking at her best friend. "You fell on the sidewalk and injured yourself.. its nothing.. you were just tired and fainted, thats all."
Laurie began to worry. There were tears in Angel's eyes.
Angel threw her arms around laurie and clenched, closing her eyes. " I was worried about you" Angel sqeazed harder, Laurie wrapped her arms around Angel tightly. She started to question what was going on.
"Angel?" Laurie asked
"Somethings wrong Laurie" Angel said, tears in her eyes.
"What?" Laurie said frightenly She feared that Angel meant that something else had happened to her while she was passed out. Had something been stolen? Had Angel got hurt?
"There's just something I need to tell you.." Angel started clearing her throat "Its something very important"
Laurie looked at her friend.
"I'm supposed to change into a" She paused biting her bottom lip and looking at Laurie. Angel looked as if she was having problems with the words.
"There was a fluke in the curse and- I'm not sure whats wrong" Angel stumbled on her words painfully. Laurie was confused. She had been worried but now she sat there and she didn't understand what the problem was.
"Angel, I- " Laurie said to her friend.
"I'm supposed to change! I'm supposed to turn into an animal!" Angel screamed. It wasn't directed at Laurie, it almost looked like she was yelling at herself.
"What Animal?" Laurie said grabbing onto her friend.. she was now throughly confused. "Angel? how would you turn into an animal? Are you okay?"
"My family has a curse.. Some of them turn into members of the zodiac, so do I"
Laurie looked at the ground putting it all together "What animal do you turn into?" Laurie said, a lump forming in her throat.
"All of them" Angel said backing away from Lauren. "But for some reason.. I haven't been able to change... something is wrong with the curse"
Laurie back away from Angel slowly and raised an eyebrow. She tried to say something but instaed held up one finger signaling her return.
Laurie ran away to the bathroom and closed the door, she looked in the mirrior, her blue eyes were outlined in red, her hair that she usually wore in a pony tail framed her face, the top part of her head wrapped in a red stained bandage. She ran in here to compose herself but from the look of her.. that would take longer than a few seconds in the bathroom.
She took a breath and braced her self on the bathroom counter.
After her body calmed down she walked out to the livingroom to find her Angel sitting on the green leather couch. Lauren walked up and wrapped her arms around Angel in a tight hug. "Its okay Angel.. whatever happened then is obviously not happening now" Angel hugged back. It felt good to be able to hug her only true friend so tight without worry. She still didn't understand.. but she'd try, for Angel's sake.
"Everythings okay" Laurie repeated in Angels ear.
"what do you have to do to turn into this animal?" Laurie asked
" I have to embrace a member of the opposite sex, or it can happen when I'm stressed." Angel breathed
"Have you done either?"
"Yes" Angel said "Thats the problem.. I can't transform anymore"
