Chapter 6

Connor

Connor winced as white hot pain exploded on his skull Fen flayed his hooves once more and the world turned black.

Connor was at a circus his mom told him that he could go but to make it home by curfew. As he wandered around he saw a trailer saying

Freak animals enter at your own risk.

Connor looked at the trailer it had animals with one deformity or another painted rather crudely on the front. Connor decided to go in. he looked at all the animals in wonder but as he reached the last stall he felt dread crawling up his spine. At the foot of the cage lay a plack reading: this animal is rare and dangerous its name is Wendigo. Connor looked up and saw an animal horrific and amazing. Its body was made up of bones with tufts of fur still hanging of of the ankles. It’s coarse black hair was about floor length with most of it in tangles at the top if its head two mighty horns grew. It had human hands striped of all flesh blood, veins, and tendons. But the eyes where the worst having caught the light in an unnatural way milky white. Connor took several steps back. Then in the calmest way he could muster he walked up to the bars. The Wendigo eyed him warily. Connor slowly put his hands threw the bars and patted the fur on the legs. The Wendigo made no intention to move. Then a voice said.

“And what do you think your doing?” Connor Jumped and his hand slid. That was to much for the Wendigo who bucked the cage broke open and the Wendigo kicked again and Connor let the darkness open to him.

Connor woak to someone (or something) poking him urgently. As his vision became clear he saw Fen poking him. Connor slowly came to his feet. What time is it? he thought to himself he checked his watch. It would be easier to transform. Fen looked at him and winced. Suddenly feeling self conscious Connor put his hand to his face where Fen had struck him and pulling it away realized it was red with blood. Fen winced again and looked at the ground. Connor sighed pain was not a big deal. The big deal was how should he transform without anyone seeing him. And worst of all Fen was right there and he did NOT want to be kicked again. Well it was to late for Connor to wesel himself out. So he transformed. Fens Jaw dropped as Connor calmly walked over to him and hold out his tails for Fen to grab on to. Fen looked uneasy as anyone would if a feathered serpent held out its tail. Connor sighed and dipped in a was that Fen was forced on his back. Fen made an uneasy noise as Connor flew them to the haunted mansion. As Fen got off and as Conner was leaving fen said

“Do you want to spend the night?” Connor reared in surprise almost knocking down a nearby house. Fen was blushing clearly surprised.Connor suprised them more by saying sure. After returning to his human form Connor enjoyed a good meal. But when he asked where he was supposed to sleep Fen blushed and said there was only one. Connor sighed he would make do with what he had.
