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.
*NOTE*
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.

I know the way it eats your mind
The way your brain, eaten up
The one that leaves you silent, blind
Long after you've had enough
I know the way it devours your thoughts
The way you feel confused
It feels like a million knots
It leaves you feeling used
I know the way it stabs your heart
The way it leaves you here to bleed
It makes quite sure to tear you apart
The time you really need
I know the way it hurts your feelings
The way it leaves you blue
You say you see, when not really seeing
You say you know, but that's not true
I know the way you try and hide it
But then you know you'll always find it
In the trees and in the gravel
This lie you call friendship, I can't unravel.
