Teen Ink

Chapter 9

I stood up and noticed that Death had left. "No, i haven't left Delilah." Death whispered from behind me. I jumped and spun around. "Would you please! not read my mind!" i yelled. Death chuckled and then waited for me to calm down. "And anyway what the hell just happened."

"Well Delilah. I have given you a gift."

"What does it do?" i asked.

"Well it gives you the ability to shift into any animal you choose. Although i must warn you, while you are a animal. You are also mortal."

I nodded and stared out into the distance. "The more you shift into animals. The more markings will appear on your skin. I am not sure what they do. But once you find out. It would probably benefit you in some way or the other." Death shrugged. "how do i shift into-

"an animal?' Death guessed' Easy. just think of the animal you wish to be and then poof! and for changing back its vice versa.."

I nodded and stared at the bracelet.
