It's that pain again! It can't be! Ow! Blood. That's diffidently blood. I taste blood. This is bad. The teeth always change first then the eyes, then-OW! My teeth are on fire! Ah! Eh! Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow. I thought that the third time's the charm, but this time it's more painful. …Ok, ok that's over. Thank God. Next is the eyes. Oh this is gonna suck. Everything is getting blurry. Oh man I can't see a thing. If I could just make it to the mirror-Oh crap, I'm falling! Ok, reflexes are kicking in. Finger tips. They're bleeding, I can feel it. Ah, my arms! My legs! Did I just growl? My bones, I just felt them break. Pain everywhere. My arms and legs are broken, my jaw disassembling. My mind is next. Last time I managed to hold on for a while. I bet I can do better this time. OW! MY SKULL! AHHHHHH! No! No! No! Damn the pain, it weakens the mind…but it hurts so much this time. No, I have to stay focused. They said if I tried I could hold it back. If I can't then I'm safe in this cell. I'm proud that at least that I could at least crawl my way here. At least I hadn't lost control of my body yet. Last time I was awake for at least ten seconds while it was. It was war. I had lost…gotta forget that! Gotta fight it! I can do this. No matter how much the world spins I've gotta do this. The pain is overwhelming, but n-What? What the hell was that? I! I didn't move my arm. That wasn't me. Spasms. It's surfacing. I have to fight it! I have to kill it! Claw it out! Tear it out! If I kill it I will be alive. I will be the one. The powerful one! I don't care how mush I bleed. I need it our of me! I NEED IT OUT! If I'm making the noises that I'm hearing then it must be dying. I'm winning! I have the power! I'm more powerful than the rest. I stayed awake on my second one, and I can do this. Stand up! Stand UP! The change is over, physically, but it needs to be controlled. It will be. I'm standing. My vision is back. My senses are heightened. I feel so powerful. My hands are so huge. Claws, bloodied by the battle. Staying focused. Kill it. It's evil and I'm going to kill it. I can still feel it fighting. The battle isn't over. Wait, it just roared. I roared. Fight it. Hands over the wound. It may be escaping. Did I make the wrong choice? Push it back in! Owrouuu! That was me! That wasn't it. I felt it's pain. My body! Mine! Mine! STOP IT! DIE! GET OUT! NO! The pain! It's back! No! It's taking over. I lost. Damn it . Fading. I bet this is what dying feels like. Cold and still. Frozen as death swallows you whole. At least I'm not dead forever. I'll wake up soon…in my safe…warm cell. No! The lock, I didn't…couldn't lock…the door…too dangerous. The people…it's all so dark…darkness? Not yet, but soon. Failure. Looks like this is what death is like. No waking up this time. Goodbye, Carol.
