    Lilia dove for her bag, attempting to find the air horn before the monster could wake up. "Shit, shit, fuck, fuck! Where are you?" She stopped her search dead in her tracks, paralyzed by the faint growling behind her. She stood up slowly, turning around. "See?" She spoke calming, but there was a shiver in her voice. "I'm not going to hurt you, ok?" The beast stood up on two legs stretching it's limbs. It's 'hair' was spiked tall, and the barbs on it's tail had grown substantially.
    "What do you think babe? Is this a good look for me or what?" Aaron joked, a quiet hiss tinging every word he spoke.
    "Aaron?! What the hell! You scared the shit out of me!" She picked up a can of B#tchSlap! off the ground and threw it at his head. She blinked, and when her eyes opened, he was crouching, looking defensive as three pieces of shredded aluminum landed softly on the bed. "Whoa... that's freaky."
    "Yeah... I'm fast." Aaron muttered, examining his claws. He hopped off the bed, feeling something graze the back of his legs. He looked behind him, a goofy smile creeping onto his face. "HOLY SHIT!" He laughed excitedly. "I have a fucking tail!" He waved his tail around, swooshing it behind him. "Babe, this is awesom-"
   "Be careful with that thing!" Lilia screamed as the barbed spikes ripped through her pillow.
   "Whoops... uh... sorry baby..."
   "It's fine... it's just, how did you do that? I thought you couldn't control it."
   "As far as I knew I couldn't... I sat here, trying to focus it out like you told me too, right? Next second I black out, and bam. Back in black."
   "...worst. Reference. Ever. Still, I'm proud of you! Now, change back so we can go eat, ok?"
   Aaron stood still, looking nervous. His eyes may have been red and empty, but she could still sense the look he was giving her. "I... don't know how. I think I'm stuck."
   "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?!"

    The two sat at the table, awkwardly avoiding looking at each other. In front of Lilia sat a small, finely sliced cucumber salad, a near stark contrast to Aaron's bloody, dripping steak, which he dug into as though he hadn't eaten in days. "Ugk... do you have to eat like that? I mean, let me at least cook it before you get blood all over my table. Here-" She reached out for the slab of meat, when Aaron's claws stuck into the table, followed by a low growl muffled slightly by the meat still between his fangs. "Aaron, what the fuck?! My table!!"
    He pulled his hands out, looking bashful. He took the meat from his teeth and began to apologize. "I... I didn't mean to do that, I'm sorry, babe. It just..."
    "I get it, Aaron. I'm sorry. This whole thing is just... fuck, how long are you going to be stuck like this?"
    "I don't know... I'm trying to tell myself to wake up. But it's like there's another voice in there, saying 'no'. It's kinda freakin' me out."
    "Another voice?"
    "Sorta... it's hisses and growls, mostly. But I can hear meaning behind them. It's so strange, though. I can hear, see, smell, and taste better than ever before. I feel senses I didn't know I had, and did you see those reflexes?"
    "Yeah, your reflexes took a chunk out of my dining room table."
    "But that's just it though... I'm not controlling that. It's like... instincts or something."
    Lilia took a moment to summon her own guardian spirit. The small blue butterfly fluttered over the table. "Your spirit makes my butterfly seem lame." Aaron jumped back out of his chair, landing behind it on all fours. He looked visibly startled by the spirit insect, despite having seen it hundreds of times. As it loomed toward him, he hissed loudly and ferociously, displaying his fangs. Lilia called it away, and it vanished. "What the fuck, are you insane?" Aaron stayed on the ground, looking cautious. "You are driving me up the fucking wall, you psycho! Get out of my house!"
    "Lilia, listen, I'm seriously not-"
    "GET THE FUCK OUT!"
    Aaron stood again, raising his claws. "DO NOT FUCKING TRY TO CONTROL ME."
    "Wh-what?"
    "I WILL SLICE YOU DOWN AND FEED ON YOUR FLESH." Aaron gripped his head, groaning in pain. "Shut up! What the-" "SILENCE, PATHETIC VESSEL. I GROW TIRED OF YOUR SOCIAL HABITS. I DEMAND FOOD." "Well... there's steak sitting right there... Let's eat..." "NO. FOOD. LIVE. FOOD." 'Aaron' directed his gaze to Lilia, sliding his tongue over his fangs. "FRESH, TENDER, REAL FOOD." He lunged toward her, causing Lilia to dive for the floor, being grazed by a slash from his claws.The creature examined the small splash of red on it's fingertips, playfully licking it off. "AH... THAT'S REFRESHING!" She ran up the stairs as the creature watched. "OH GOOD. MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE THIS FUN." The monster bounded after her, running up the stairs, eventually cornering her in the room.
    "Aaron... why are you doing this, baby?" She was terrified, tears in her eyes, her hands tightly clutched together against her chest.
    "YOU GAVE ME BLOOD. BUT IT WAS STALE, DEAD BLOOD. IT WASN'T EVEN WARM. NOW I WANT THE REAL THING..."
    "Well you can EAT THIS!" She flung her hands forward, a small swarm of butterflies rocketing towards the monster. It's eyes grew wide with panic and it jumped back.
    "NO!! GET THOSE THINGS AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!" The butterflies began landing on him, causing obvious pain, as indicated by a blood-curdling shriek. After a few moments it fell to the floor, reverting back to Aaron's normal form. He stood up, dazed and groggy.
    "Sweetie, Lilia, hun? Are you- where's- are you ok?" She sat in the corner, looking shocked and confused, her breathing heavy. "Lils?"
    She jumped at him, holding him tight, tears running down his shoulder. "I was so scared..."
    "Shhhhhh... it's ok sweetie."
    "What the hell IS that thing?"
    "I don't know... but one thing's for certain. We need to find a way to get rid of it."
It's 5 in the morning. Don't judge me.
