I'm bored and
I'm bored and afraid that if I take my online English quiz now, I'm gonna fail it. So, I am going to start a story.
Thumpbump Thumpbump Thumpbump
My pulse rushes through my ears as I race to the water. Must. Escape. Captor. If I shapeshift now, the human will know what I am for sure; but if I can just turn into water under the waves, move away from the coast, then transform again, I should be safe.
At the moment, I'm wearing a face of my own creation. I'm proud to say that. With my caramel- brown hair, bright blue eyes, and symmetrical face; I look prettier than when I copy magazines. I pause for a moment to make my body a little more streamlined. Then I run even faster toward the ocean.
I'm almost there when I feel the human stop. He sounds hurt, but I know it's just a trap. He's done this before. "Leena, help!" he pleas. I will myself not to turn back. Finally, I reach the ocean and turn into water. I'm lucky I'm one of the only shapeshifters alive that don't always have to be living things.
I float along wit the other droplets. They want to be lazy, but I will them away from the coast. Brethren, we must get away, I gurgle in a way so all the ocean can feel me. For good measure, I give a motive. He will pollute us if we don't. A lie, for he would never harm nature, but I need to get away. Fast.
Once I can no longer see land, I turn into a fish. I change direction toward Florida. If I swim fast enough, I may be able to cross the border from Maine and go to New Hampshire. If I settle in a small enough town, the Order will never be a risk again.
