It must have been five-thirty in the morning. The damn twittering birds woke me up. The midsummer morning sunrise shone through the window onto the bed where I lay. I apparently forgot to close the curtains last night. Or put on my PJs. Naked, eyes half closed, I got out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. I thought, 'That was one fucking weird dream. Vivid, too.' I reached the toilet for once without stubbing a toe and started to urinate. The timbre of the stream hitting the water was deeper than I used to hear. 'Yeah, like a cat can...' My eyes snapped open. I stared at the dangling scrotum, large testicles and big tube of flesh hanging from me. I stopped the flow of urine and dashed to the mirror above the vanity.
"Oh, fuck." In the mirror is me, but NOT me. That guy looks like a much taller twenty-two year old underwear model.
My brain haze lifted enough for me to remember more details of the night when I heard, "Hey, Bruce? Are you awake yet? I took a shirt, hope you don't mind."
I moved into the bathroom doorway and thought, 'No way...it's not the cat...please don't be the cat.'
Brenna dressed only in my best dress shirt, unbuttoned and entered the bedroom. Her long hair flowed freely down to her lower back.
'Damn...it's the cat.'
She took one look at me and said, "Oh, no you don't. You're not fainting again." She rushed towards me and helped me to the bed.
"No...nope...no way...uh-uh. This isn't real. I'm having a stroke...yeah that's it." I looked up at Brenna as I sat down on the bed, "Call an ambulance, will ya? Ok, I'm also asking a hallucination to make a phone call so add delusional to the list." I flopped back on the bed.
She climbed up on the bed, straddled my waist and started to knead my pecs like they were dough. I see an orange-red bracelet on her wrist. "I'm not a hallucination so cut that out and wake up to reality."
Yeah. She said reality.
"I'm a skin-walker and adopted you."
"Don't you mean I adopted you? I've got the vet bill and everything," I flicked to the bracelet, "and you're wearing your collar."
She gave me a lopsided smile and said, "Sure. Now shut up. I adopted you and just like I said last night. You deserve better. I gifted you the ability to take certain emotions directed towards you and use that energy to better yourself."
"So you made me an energy vampire? Like the Dilbert guy on that vampire show?"
"Not quite. E-vamps..."
"Wait a minute, vampires are real?"
"Well, yeah. Jeez. I said shut up. E-vamps pull energy out of their victims. You just collect what people give you," she said as her expression became needy and her breathing came more quickly. "For instance..." I felt a familiar jolt flow through me. "Do-do you feel that?" she moaned. "Use that to fuel yourself, ooohhhh" My cock stirred against her dampening pussy. "No...not now...please. I need to...aaaahh" I moved my hands up her thighs. "We don't have time...please."
I keep on stroking her legs. "How do I use that...energy?"
"You...you focus on what you...w-want to change and...ch-channel power there and thhhiink about what you waaaant to change. The power will do...ahhhhhh...the rest. Ooooooooo...not fair...please...stop."
"What else?"
She started panting, "You are alpha. No one...no one can deny you...please...stop."
"What about you, skin-walker? You can obviously change from a cat to a human. Is this what you really look like?"
"No...I-I don't remember," she closed her eyes, tilted her head back and moaned. "I've a-always been able to chaaaange," She opened her eyes and lowered her head. Her mouth dropped open, she began to pant, "Please..."
