Chapter 7
Koda awoke suddenly.
His heart was hammering in his chest and an excruciating pain filled his body.
His skin felt as if it was ripping open, his muscles were in so much pain as if he pulled every muscle fiber.
The skin and bones in his fingertips exploded as something else grew in replacement of his nails.
His jawbone crunched and popped.
Everything in his body was changing.
As he tried to maintain his thoughts, he slowly lost all memory of who he was. He was becoming more animal than human.
The pain finally subsided.
All he thought and felt was anger.
And revenge.
Jax sat alone in the living room of his apartment. He had heard of what Koda did to his principle that day which caused him more worry about him after his dream the other night.
He had never believed that dreams could be premonitions of sorts but this nagged him.
After calling his brother and being told that he had not come home he decided that his ‘dream’ wasn’t going to come true but his conscious told him otherwise.
He called Shilah again.
After several rings someone picked up but it wasn’t Shilah.
“Mrs. Sakima, hey so sorry to bother you but I was calling for Shilah. Is he there?”
“I think he’s asleep on the couch, I’ll give the phone to him.”
He could tell that she tried not to sound upset about Koda’s situation but he could hear it in her voice.
“He’s not in here,” she said.
That’s weird, he thought.
“Maybe he went out to look for—“, he stopped himself before he said Koda’s name. He didn’t want to upset her.
Silence on the other end.
“Mrs. Sakima, are you ok?”
“There’s something outside,”
“What? What is it?” he asked anxiously.
“I can’t tell its dark out but something is on the ground.”
“Don’t go out there, it’s probably not safe,” he tried to warn her.
“It could be Shilah, he might have been attacked by an animal.”
“Wait in the house and I’ll come over, whatever it is may still be out there.”
“I need to go see,”
He heard the screen door open over the phone.
“Don’t go out there!!” he yelled.
He shot up from his couch and took off for the Sakima house.

I ended this chapter abruptly because I wanted to leave some suspense and also didn't want to have so much going on this chapter. Next chapter will be more intense.

Temporary Home
For some people, this world is only a stopover. They arrive here to do some good while they can, but they know that this is still not their true home. They are angels who come to light up our lives with their luminescence and to teach us what they can before they have to move on. They flash in on golden wings, but it seems that they are gone before you can say “Thank you” or “I love you”. They leave softly, without fanfare. They kiss our brow as lightly as a heart’s whisper, and smile, blinding us with its brightness. When we blink, they are gone.
