The Night Sky.
I found myself running, the tree branches hitting my body.
Growls erupted from my throat, I am angry, why do I have to be this, a monster. The night sky weeped for me with a meteor shower above, it couldn't save me, no one could. I controled myself to not unleash the monster when I was angry but this time... it was just too much, and now people are dead. They were right, I am a freak. The beast took over and I can't get control. I am losing control of my body. The monster's massive black dragon-like wings erupted painfully out of my back and I tore off my fancy clothes, and I stopped running because I now was flying. The monster turned me back to the direction of the city, I can't stop it. My skin started growing into the beast's long black and sharp scales that shined an irredscent color as the moon's light hit them. My vision sharpened greatly, allowing me to see different light spectrums in the dark and I have now four red glowing eyes. My face painfully transformed into the beast's long snout that had two sets of long and sharp golden teeth. I wanted to scream but I roared instead. My body lengthened and grew into its, forming its other pair of large wings, a pair of middle arms, three tails with alien looking swords on their ends, four long golden horns on its head, five guills on each side of its long neck, and a large amulet on its forehead that contains the beast's power and knowledge. My dark blond hair turned into its long black mane that goes from its head to the top part of its tails. My ears became its four long ears, I can hear everything. The beast spoke its strange language. I couldn't understand but I knew it was muttering in rage. I can't look away, I know what's about to happen. We are flying over the city and inside I cry as the beast unleashed the hottest flames in the universe, devouring the city I loved in seconds. Dark smoke covered the stars, choking the sky of its color. Screams filled the night sky then only the rising flames could be heard and the beast's horrifying roar. Colorful flames engulfed the tallest buildings as we flew into the night sky and eventually heard silence...
