This choice: Mom comes in after hearing the news. • Go Back...Chapter #4Mom comes in after hearing the news. by: wolffurry   I laid back on my bed as Rex sat next to me. I was thinking on what I should do next, until I heard mom open the door and carry a stack of pancakes inside.
"Tom, I heard from your father that you're finally growing up! So, I brought your breakfast up here, so you won't scare your brother." mom said, setting the pancakes on by desk.
"Heheh, thanks mom!"
I just looked at the pancakes and I felt my stomach gurgle, the yummy scent filling my mind!
"Your father also said that your body will need a lot of energy when transforming, so you'll be hungrier than usual. That's why I made a few extras for today."
I merely nodded as I kept eying the food. Mom gave me a knife and fork she brought up with her before I began chowing down. And man, was it delicious! In fact, I just kept scarfing everything down! It was just so good, and before I know it, I was already done. I looked at the empty plate, then back to mom, looking at me sternly.
"Tom, where were your manners!?" she said with an angry tone.
"Um...Sorry?" I said weakly.
"Well, alright then. But I expected you to at least slow down. You could've choked on it, you know."
Without another word, she cleaned up my mess and headed back downstairs. I just blinked as I though about what mom just said.
"Huh. Strange, was I really that hungry? Rex, I wasn't that crazy, was I?"
I looked at Rex, who just curled around on my bed, watching me. I shrugged my shoulders as I stood up, wanting to stretch a bit. I walked up to the door and looked around. No one outside my room. That's good. I looked at the door frame, then felt a powerful urge to scratch it. So, I did. It was just a tiny little scratch, something no one would notice. But then, I just started scratching it more and more, and my claw marks were becoming more pronounced each time. It felt good for some reason, leaving my mark outside my door. That way, everyone would see it. They will know that this room is mine. My territory, my property...I just kept scratching that one spot, until my claw marks were clearly defined on the door frame. I felt proud about my work, until I heard someone coughing. It felt like I woke up from a daze, only to see my dad standing there.
"I see that you've marked your territory, son." he said, looking at the door frame.
I looked at it myself, and for the first time realized what I just did. I felt ashamed, making a huge mark on the door frame like that.
"D-dad! I can explain!" I said quickly, but I really had no explanation to give.
"That's okay son, I understand. Your wolf senses are starting to come out. It's only natural for you to mark your territory. You'll begin acting like this more and more as you transform, and you'll learn to cope with them afterwards."
Dad just gave me a warm smile as he inspected the damage I did. I still felt a little guilty, but knew I couldn't fix it. I sighed as I just went back to my room and laid down next to Rex. I looked down at my pajama legs and realized that my feet have changed the same way my hands did. Did it happen while I was clawing at the door? Oh well, I just hope that it'll end soon. | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
