Transamagei Chapter 19
The Blood OathWhen night set in, the rest of the family went to get settled down somewhere secluded. The transparent, blinking barriers overhead also subdivided the town so that no-one could pass through, meaning that I could finally make use of some time with Sylvia.Sylvia agreed to join me to follow the water’s edge around, each of us marvelling at the colourful rocks running all the way to the end.The sea spray from the waves was refreshing on my fur that was chilled by the crisp air. The sky was dusted with glittering stars and blinking beckons from the shield that protected us. There was no sounds of death and destruction tonight. It was peaceful and perfect at last.We followed the break-wall to the very end, where we sat to take in the beauty of the ebony waves crashing against the rocks and the moonlight basking over the depths in the horizon.Sylvia huddled closer to me and let her side press against mine. My stomach dropped and my heart skipped a beat from the

Love is blindSouls still roamed the streets when we left the sanctuary together; which instantly made Sylvia nervous. The marks we had left the night before were still visible, being eyed by groups of curious onlookers.Our plan was to regroup with the family and leave the town before we were barricaded in for another night. I didn’t have any problems with another sleepless night with Sylvia, but the reality of not being able to escape her murderous brother if he returned again weighed heavily on me. There was only so far I could run within the barriers.As we headed back through the carved roads, we took in the sights of the burnt tealights and messages graffitied around us. I felt my spirits lift when I saw strangers stopping to take notice of the markings and names left behind. They were starting to see us as more than just a statistic now; acknowledging instead of ignoring us.We continued together until Eagle’s figure pulled from the scrawling’s beside us. His skin wa

Last memoriesI didn’t know how long I had been laying on Orlando’s corpse for when I woke.His blood had congealed in my fur and seemed to seep underneath my own skin to my bones.Instead of being collapsed in the grass and blood, I was laying on a bed in a closed room, clutching a pillow. The white sheet underneath me was stained with Orlando and the yellow walls had bloody smears across them. My body was no longer dislocated or broken. The only pain I felt was emotional.Where was I? Where was Ringo?Oh god, where was Sylvia?“Sylvia?” I whimpered, scanning the empty room for her “Ringo?”There was nothing here, just me. I was trapped in a room, with Orlando all over me. Where was he? Where was I?“SYLVIA?” I cried out, feeling panic grip at my gut “RINGO?”Had Ringo been taken too? Where was Orlando’s body?Panic bubbled up and formed a screaming sob. Where was everyone? Why could no-one hear me?!“S-SYLVIAAA?” I wailed, before the door opened “RINGOOO?”“Omen!

Blood and boneI was petrified when the morning’s rays streamed over my blood-soaked body. It seemed like the night never existed.After Flame had left, everyone spent their remaining time preparing for what lay ahead. Some left behind treasured items as a keepsake, while others used the time to regain their strength. I even caught Venin having sex with Python’s partner as I left the house to hunt with Neeb.I wasn’t going to face the Base on an empty stomach. I would spend my last moments venting my frustrations through slaughter.Neeb was an excellent hunting partner, despite his vomiting giving us away. He even stopped to Purge a few times in any water he could find. When Neeb’s face began to bubble, and his back bulged out into massive boulder-sized welts, we gave up on the hunt and headed back to the house.My stomach was so full I felt like vomiting. I hadn’t felt this overfed since the Institute. It felt so good to have blood dripping over me again.Everyon

Transamagei Prologue
The birth of a baby is meant to be a joyous occasion surrounded with smiles and tears of happiness, but that was not so for my birth. When I came into this world, I was surrounded by strangers who immediately recoiled at my presence. A woman with makeup dripping down her face and blonde hair plastered to her head was screaming. Her only friend; a short woman with dark hair tied into a knot, was cowering behind the woman. The pair of chicken sheers she gripped were shaking as she inched towards me.The short woman hacked through my umbilical cord frantically, while I cried out for the protection of my mother, who was panicking and trying to drag herself away from me on the musty couch we were on. Once I was free, my mother kicked out at me, pushing me across to the edge of the couch.I could hear her hysterical sobbing and moaning echoing through my ears as a heavy hand gripped my arm and dragged my naked body around to face both women once more.“What is it?” the short woman
Transamagei Chapter 1
ZeaI was destined to die right before I had even lived.The old towel that tangled me in my mother’s hands as she squeezed me between them was the only thing that blinded me from seeing my true fate. I was not going to be suffocated to death moments after coming into this world. Instead, I was going to be driven to a river where I would be drowned in its icy depths by my own mother.I was thrown into the back of a car, still tangled within the old towel covered in the blood staining my body. No matter how much I cried or squirmed, I was ignored. I might as well not have even tried.The towel wrapped around my face and body was the only warmth I had felt in my three hours of existence. The small holes in the fabric hooked my small fingers and toes, making me squirm uselessly as the car was dragged to a halt and I was lifted from the hard seats.The cold tore straight through the towel while the breeze froze any parts of my body that were exposed through the holes. The pers
Transamagei Chapter 2
Playing with fireThe creature who called himself Tin raised me and nurtured me like the parent I never had. He grew incredibly defensive of me and always kept me hidden from the unseen dangers lurking outside. As I grew older and more aware, he taught me how to walk, then how to run. Running was my key to survival up here. Night Claw, the species Tin was, were all equipped with poisonous blood and an arm they could turn into a spear. They were bred specifically to haul heavy loads other creatures couldn’t. Because of this, they were often rounded up and forced into labour with another species called Shade.The Shade were like gigantic spiders with extremely thick skin and had claws protruding from a joint in all eight of their legs that surrounded the top of every hoof. They had huge, spiked mandibles that were forever clicking away, and eyes that were tiny slits.Compared to them both, I was useless. I was only five; my tiny teeth and weak claws could not defend myself aga
