Transamagei Prologue
The birth of a baby is meant to be a joyous occasion surrounded with smiles and tears of happiness, but that was not so for my birth. When I came into this world, I was surrounded by strangers who immediately recoiled at my presence. A woman with makeup dripping down her face and blonde hair plastered to her head was screaming. Her only friend; a short woman with dark hair tied into a knot, was cowering behind the woman. The pair of chicken sheers she gripped were shaking as she inched towards me.The short woman hacked through my umbilical cord frantically, while I cried out for the protection of my mother, who was panicking and trying to drag herself away from me on the musty couch we were on. Once I was free, my mother kicked out at me, pushing me across to the edge of the couch.I could hear her hysterical sobbing and moaning echoing through my ears as a heavy hand gripped my arm and dragged my naked body around to face both women once more.“What is it?” the short woman

ZeaI was destined to die right before I had even lived.The old towel that tangled me in my mother’s hands as she squeezed me between them was the only thing that blinded me from seeing my true fate. I was not going to be suffocated to death moments after coming into this world. Instead, I was going to be driven to a river where I would be drowned in its icy depths by my own mother.I was thrown into the back of a car, still tangled within the old towel covered in the blood staining my body. No matter how much I cried or squirmed, I was ignored. I might as well not have even tried.The towel wrapped around my face and body was the only warmth I had felt in my three hours of existence. The small holes in the fabric hooked my small fingers and toes, making me squirm uselessly as the car was dragged to a halt and I was lifted from the hard seats.The cold tore straight through the towel while the breeze froze any parts of my body that were exposed through the holes. The pers

Playing with fireThe creature who called himself Tin raised me and nurtured me like the parent I never had. He grew incredibly defensive of me and always kept me hidden from the unseen dangers lurking outside. As I grew older and more aware, he taught me how to walk, then how to run. Running was my key to survival up here. Night Claw, the species Tin was, were all equipped with poisonous blood and an arm they could turn into a spear. They were bred specifically to haul heavy loads other creatures couldn’t. Because of this, they were often rounded up and forced into labour with another species called Shade.The Shade were like gigantic spiders with extremely thick skin and had claws protruding from a joint in all eight of their legs that surrounded the top of every hoof. They had huge, spiked mandibles that were forever clicking away, and eyes that were tiny slits.Compared to them both, I was useless. I was only five; my tiny teeth and weak claws could not defend myself aga

First MissionDeath was forgiving.Why was I so afraid of something that took the weight of the world from me and blanketed me in comfort?I could finally rest in peace. I could sleep forever without being overburdened with worries.Death was warm.It heated me from the inside and tickled at my heart. It made me feel protected and safe in this darkness.I was all alone though. No-one else was here to wrap their arms around me and take away the overwhelming sadness that shook through my body.Tears streamed down my face, burning my fur as they snaked through it. Instead of falling into the nothingness surrounding me, they branched off to smother the rest of my face, piercing through my cheeks and forehead.My fingers began to bubble and blister as the tears fell onto them. The muscles in my arms and legs constricted until they burst through my flesh and bound me, trying to strangle what resistance I had against them from me.The tears that coated my body felt like sizzl

Face to face with deathInstead of being met with nightmares, the void shielded my brain with a fog that made my head swim. Somehow, I was still here; probably being sizzled on the hot tar of the road I had passed out on.My hearing was the first to come back, unfortunately.A sobbing, distorted at first, got clearer as I struggled to piece together what had happened.I had been in a car crash, I knew that; but what occurred afterwards was a mystery.The last thing I remembered was lying on the hard road with glass skewering me. Was I still there? Was I still free?“He’s breathing” someone noted, but I was too disorientated to tell if it was a male or female “he’s not reacting to touch though.”Touch. Well, it wasn’t Cosmo.“Keep pulling the glass out until he comes around, then we’ll fill him in” another interrupted.Fill me in? What had happened? Where was everyone? How come the crying wouldn’t stop?The black void started to lighten and reveal distorted shapes, but

The monsters withinHot breath floated in the darkness beside me; bittersweet from the lumpy, pink fruit being shoved into the bleeding mouth hungrily.A fresh scratch ran over a flushed cheekbone, the exposed wound being smothered with the juices of the fruit that dripped along the path underneath our feet.Sparkling eyes locked onto mine; so full of life and the ugliness of the world they had witnessed.How on earth did they belong to someone dead?“Pay attention, Moon” Royce gasped between mouthfuls of fruit, shining the torch he held over the area before us “this is no time to be dawdling.”I focused on the light to try and distract myself from the rising panic bubbling within my stomach and the prickling of my fur on the back of my neck.Royce had wasted no time in tearing me from the warmth of the bed to join him in stalking the cold, deserted levels of the Base as soon as he had returned. The torch he held was the only thing we had to defend ourselves against the

Fresh meatEagle was on my mind after that discussion with Torch; quite literally.When his voice invaded my mind, I thought I was imagining it; growing frightened that I was going insane.Apparently, that's what most people assumed when Eagle had first invaded their mind; as he told me.It was helpful having the extra voice beside me through the night and into the next morning, but I could tell it was making the other Soul Stealers avoid me when I began muttering back to Eagle and arguing with him around the Base.To them, I was probably at sanity’s edge.He kept his distance, so people wouldn't too suspicious of our plans, but placed himself right beside me at training where he wanted to meet two days later.He said nothing until other Soul Stealers started leaving and we were mostly alone. The others still here were too far away to be of any concern to us."I thought we should meet up before the next part of our plan. I sent out a guy yesterday to steal a baby Kalfar

ChildlessSince the infection of the Base had been playing on my mind most of the sleepless night, I decided to visit Cosmo first the next morning.He had so many already infected people lingering around him and knew firsthand what it was like to be isolated from everyone. He would have the comforting answers I was looking for; I was sure of it.Cosmo wasn’t hard to find; he was sitting on the twenty-fifth floor with Fox and his other friend close by his side. They had their heads close together and were talking in hushed tones, giggling every now and then. The other person with him was the same kid I had seen that night over by the windows. He kept his black hoodie up and scuffed his grey sneakers on the ground when he chattered on the bench they sat at.Rows of identical wooden benches with adjoining tabletops had been lined together on the floor, which were swarming with people. Each table was as long and wide as a bus and scattered with various personal belongings.The

Transamagei Chapter 22
Blood and boneI was petrified when the morning’s rays streamed over my blood-soaked body. It seemed like the night never existed.After Flame had left, everyone spent their remaining time preparing for what lay ahead. Some left behind treasured items as a keepsake, while others used the time to regain their strength. I even caught Venin having sex with Python’s partner as I left the house to hunt with Neeb.I wasn’t going to face the Base on an empty stomach. I would spend my last moments venting my frustrations through slaughter.Neeb was an excellent hunting partner, despite his vomiting giving us away. He even stopped to Purge a few times in any water he could find. When Neeb’s face began to bubble, and his back bulged out into massive boulder-sized welts, we gave up on the hunt and headed back to the house.My stomach was so full I felt like vomiting. I hadn’t felt this overfed since the Institute. It felt so good to have blood dripping over me again.Everyon

Last memoriesI didn’t know how long I had been laying on Orlando’s corpse for when I woke.His blood had congealed in my fur and seemed to seep underneath my own skin to my bones.Instead of being collapsed in the grass and blood, I was laying on a bed in a closed room, clutching a pillow. The white sheet underneath me was stained with Orlando and the yellow walls had bloody smears across them. My body was no longer dislocated or broken. The only pain I felt was emotional.Where was I? Where was Ringo?Oh god, where was Sylvia?“Sylvia?” I whimpered, scanning the empty room for her “Ringo?”There was nothing here, just me. I was trapped in a room, with Orlando all over me. Where was he? Where was I?“SYLVIA?” I cried out, feeling panic grip at my gut “RINGO?”Had Ringo been taken too? Where was Orlando’s body?Panic bubbled up and formed a screaming sob. Where was everyone? Why could no-one hear me?!“S-SYLVIAAA?” I wailed, before the door opened “RINGOOO?”“Omen!

Love is blindSouls still roamed the streets when we left the sanctuary together; which instantly made Sylvia nervous. The marks we had left the night before were still visible, being eyed by groups of curious onlookers.Our plan was to regroup with the family and leave the town before we were barricaded in for another night. I didn’t have any problems with another sleepless night with Sylvia, but the reality of not being able to escape her murderous brother if he returned again weighed heavily on me. There was only so far I could run within the barriers.As we headed back through the carved roads, we took in the sights of the burnt tealights and messages graffitied around us. I felt my spirits lift when I saw strangers stopping to take notice of the markings and names left behind. They were starting to see us as more than just a statistic now; acknowledging instead of ignoring us.We continued together until Eagle’s figure pulled from the scrawling’s beside us. His skin wa

The Blood OathWhen night set in, the rest of the family went to get settled down somewhere secluded. The transparent, blinking barriers overhead also subdivided the town so that no-one could pass through, meaning that I could finally make use of some time with Sylvia.Sylvia agreed to join me to follow the water’s edge around, each of us marvelling at the colourful rocks running all the way to the end.The sea spray from the waves was refreshing on my fur that was chilled by the crisp air. The sky was dusted with glittering stars and blinking beckons from the shield that protected us. There was no sounds of death and destruction tonight. It was peaceful and perfect at last.We followed the break-wall to the very end, where we sat to take in the beauty of the ebony waves crashing against the rocks and the moonlight basking over the depths in the horizon.Sylvia huddled closer to me and let her side press against mine. My stomach dropped and my heart skipped a beat from the

RevelationsWhen morning came, we were released by the Beora, who greeted us both with warm smiles and bagged food for us to take with us. The front door was open once again, but his time we weren’t being forced out of it into the merciless environment. We were free to go whenever we wanted.“I’m sorry for last night” the Beora grimaced, when we stood before him “things got out of hand.”“We know” Orlando shot me a glare “but all is forgiven.”“I packed some lotion for your throat” the Beora turned to me now “you have to understand I was only acting out to protect what I have left.”I didn’t agree at all but nodded anyway. Anything to keep the peace between us.“Your Vixen and children are safe now” Orlando smiled “you have nothing to worry about anymore.”The Beora clasped his hands together in joy then bought them to either side of Orlando’s face, so he could touch his forehead to Orlando’s for a moment.“I’m truly grateful for all you have done.”“We had our differe

The Dead WolfIf I had to describe being eaten alive, I would say it didn’t really feel that bad.I was anticipating it to be a lot more painful; with the screaming and bone breaking, but it was actually quite the opposite. I couldn’t see anything at all; perhaps that’s why it was so relaxing?Being eaten alive was relaxing; never imagined I think of it like that.I could feel the whole left side of my body was peeled open and disembowelled. My guts were quite soft and comforting to lay in. They acted as a warm blanket under my face and aching ribs while my exposed spine bathed me in blood, as it was pierced with the female’s sharp teeth.Instead of mauling me, she was nibbling along either side of my spine, which only made the blood cascade over my back and swamp the guts piled at my ribs.I must have looked like a mess just lying here. Half of me spread on the floor, while the other half was being held in by what was already beside me. And the blood! I could feel it all

OmenDiesel became my mentor in teaching me the ways of my new life.Since time no longer existed, each day was broken into three sections; morning, afternoon, and night.Mornings were dedicated to fighting the strangers that walked through the front doors. If I didn’t fight, I didn’t eat; it was that simple. The Food Givers always made sure I was fed to the point of vomiting, so I wouldn’t murder the visitors. Morning was the time for our fortnightly bath as well, which was just water blasted through the roof to fill the room up to a metre. The water was brown, but it was the only thing I had to soak in for the day. If people wanted to fight while you were bathing, you lost the opportunity to wash for another fortnight. You couldn’t bathe in the waterhole out the back since people drank from it. Tainting it would be the end of our only water source.Afternoons were for talking with our neighbours and forming bonds with the people we saw every day. It was also the scheduled

The bloodthirsty prisonerInstead of waking to freedom, I woke to everything around me darkened so I couldn’t see my surroundings at all.I wasn’t in the cage anymore. Instead, I was lying on cold tiles in an empty room. To my right and left, thick glass walls had been placed, but each had six tiny breathing-holes drilled in. Each one was only big enough for a finger to pass through, so escape was not possible. I did notice that there was the faint outline of a door in the right side of the glass in front of me. There was nothing blocking my path to a vast aisle of tiles that was brightly lit between this row of rooms and the next across it. If I could get to that door, I could get out of here.I looked down at my broken arm, to see it had been cleaned and shaved. There was no blood, only stitches, where the bullet holes had been. A thin, white webbing had been anchored to my arm to strengthen it and alleviate any pain.With tender steps, I went to inspect the glass door
