Date: Sat, 24 Jun 2000 09:04:56 PDT From: Luke Subject: Shape 9 Disclaimer, don't read this if you're against gay people cause it's gay related so there :0p Shape 9 "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Johan fell back on his bed in a fit of laughter, although I found his laughter intoxicating he was laughing at me and it was pissing me off. I had just finished telling him my entire story, and all I got was hysterical laughter. "Johan?" "HAHAHA...you expect me to believe that? HAHAHAHAH! I mean believe that you and Luke are SHAPESHIFTERS!!! HAHAHAHA!" he gripped his stomach, tears where streaming down his red cheeks...time for a demonstration me thinks. "It's true Johan..." "HAHAHA...yea right, things like that don't..." I morphed into a bird, his eyes grew wide with astonishment and fear "...HOLY SHIT!" I think an old woman half way cross the world shushed him, he blinked a couple of times to make sure he saw me change into a bird, I changed back and went to take his hand. He scooted away from me so fast he fell off the edge of the bed; all I saw was his legs stuck up in the air. "Johan? You ok?" I poked my head off the edge of the bed to see a shocked Johan just lying there. "You're...you're...you're..." that was all he could say "A friend of yours" he jumped quickly to his feet. "WAIT A SECOND, if everything you've told me is true than how do I know your not the evil shape shifter? And Macole isn't actually the good one?" I walked over to him and softly ran my thumb over his bruised eye. "Because Johan, I love you too much to hurt you" he looked at me with those sweet eyes of his. "You...love me?" a smile spread across his face. "I love you too, I have since the first day we met at school" I leant forward and kissed him slightly on the lips, he grabbed the back of my head and forced his tongue down my throat...he was more forceful than I had expected. The sweet taste of his mouth was amazing, I was completely hooked, this was the man I loved. His warm soft lips pressed hard against mine as his tongue rolled around my mouth. I felt a lump pressing into my groin. I broke the kiss and looked deeply into his eyes. He smiled warmly at me. I sighed heavily, I had so many things I wanted to share with him, but not the time. "The prom is tonight..." that once sentence broke the romantic mood we where both in. "I know Macole keeps saying, he can't wait...now I know why" "Do you have any idea what he's planning? Well besides murder" "No, he just said it's going to be fun. Oh Luke how are we going to stop him? I mean he's like you...he can't be killed" my heart or what ever it was rite now sunk...there was a way to kill him, the ying yang principle, evil cannot survive without good, to kill him would be to kill myself... "Just let me deal with him, I fought him once and won and I can do it again" "JOHAN! Macole's here" a woman who I assumed to be Johan's mom shouted up. Now was not the time to fight, not here. "Oh my god, you have to get out of here" I ran to the window and quickly opened it, I perched myself on the window's ledge. "Be careful, don't let on you know anything" "I love you" I jumped out the window and morphed into an eagle, soaring high into the sky. I really didn't want to leave Johan alone with him but I had no choice, I had things to think about. I perched in a high tree overlooking the gym where the prom would be held. I thought back to all the things over my life, the wars I'd seen, the people I had helped and the ones I had let die. I wondered what death was like, would I feel it? Would it hurt? I knew if I wanted Johan and everyone else to be safe Macole had to die, which meant I had to die too. For the first time in a while I felt afraid. I had just got Johan and now I have to die, I bet Shakespeare would have loved to have heard me tell this tale; I know he loved the one about Romeo and me. I sighed heavily...Romeo was such a hunk. I watched the sun slowly go down, the pinks blues purples and warm golden oranges filled the sky, then the night sky came bringing the thousands of stars. I watched as people started heading into the gym and music filled the night, I morphed into a squirrel and hurried down the tree, when I was at the bottom I morphed back into my human form. The music boomed out loud from every speaker around the room, the disco ball hung in the centre shimmering light off in every direction, making the room look like it was snowing. Paper hung all around the room as decorations; the whole theme was an underwater one so the occasional fish littered the wall. Tables spanned around the edge of the dance floor, against one wall was a table full of food and drinks, a couple of kids stood there sneakily pouring what I guess was alcohol into the punch bowl. On the stage was a band, I recognised some of the members from various classes I had, there weren't bad either. A mass of withering bodies danced on the dance floor, I breathed in heavily, my very first prom...too bad I couldn't enjoy it I was too nervous about what was going to happen, I was dressed in the usual tuxedo but with a difference, mine sort of resembled the one that Will Smith wore in men in black, but the jacket was leather. I looked around to see if I could see Macole or Johan or even Jake, but non where to be seen. I saw someone waving at me from the other side of the room, it was Jake, he was wearing a white tuxedo and even though he was you could tell he was still a skater dude...he just had that look about him. I walked over to him. "Wow nice tux dude, very stylish" he said while feeling my arm, I wasn't sure if it was so he could feel the leather or because this way he could touch me. "Thank you, you too. Have you seen Johan or Macole?" "No, not yet" "Jake when I give you the signal I want you to pull the fire alarm and get Johan out of here to safety ok?" he just nodded and I went back to watching for them. I didn't have to wait long, the doors to the gym burst open and in came Macole followed by Johan, he smiled when he saw me. Macole walked to the centre of the dance floor, and I followed, people danced all around us, while we just stood there eyeing each other up. "Don't do this Macole, their just kids totally...well mostly innocent" I knew he wouldn't listen to me. "All these wars I've started, all these ways I've tried to take over the world, I realised at last I was going about it in the wrong way. The way to control the future of earth is to control the present" huh? "Wow, when you start saying crazy things like that that don't make sense you know you're truly demented." "You know Luke your not as smart as I thought you where, but if you need it spelling out for you I'm going to control these children...brainwash them. Than move on to the next school soon when the time is right the whole world will bow to me and my army of children" "Don't make me laugh, we might be able to temporarily make people believe what we want but it's never permanent, we defiantly can't control them" "I told you Luke I have grown stronger, on my travels I encountered a old witch, she taught me all I needed to know" something tells me this is going to be bad. He made his way past me towards the stage; I didn't do anything to stop him, as I was curious to see what was going to happen. Macole jumped up on the stage and took over the microphone, the music stopped and the crowed mumbled a couple of complaints. He started to speak in a language I vaguely recognized as the old tongue, a very powerful language I watched as the children started to fall quiet and watch Macole, there eyes growing even more vacant. "Hey what the hell do you think you're doing!" the headmaster walked onto the stage, Macole stopped speaking and looked at the poor old frail man, with a quick morph of his arm he had a long silver sword, he quickly swiped this at the headmasters neck, screams of the female adult teachers filled the hall, blood slowly dripped down from the wound, as the body collapsed to the floor the head rolled off into the crowd of children, not one of them flinched, all there eyes still transfixed on Macole. I nodded to Jake, but I noticed he wasn't watching me anymore but was watching Makole, I quickly made my way towards him, I smacked him hard across the face, he snapped out of whatever trance he was in. He made his way to the fire alarm, a few seconds later the sound of the loud piercing bell filled the air, Macole stopped the spell and looked at me with pure hatred, everyone slowly started to come out of the trances they where in, when they realised the fire alarm was going off they quickly rushed outside, of course some one had to notice the decapitated body on the stage, screams filled the air. The dust had settled and the people where gone, all that were left where me, Jake Johan and...Johan, SHIT! In the mass evacuation of the gym Macole had taken the time to morph into a double of Johan, Jake hovered to the side unsure of which Johan to grab and drag outside. "Luke! It's me I'm the real Johan!" one of them said, I approached cautiously, watching them both for any signs. "Don't believe him I'm the real Johan!" said the other...this was going to be hard. I looked them both over, something had to be different, I looked deep into each of there eyes...than I noticed one had a black eye and the other didn't. I knew than which was which. "I love you Luke!" said the Johan impersonating Macole; I walked slowly over to him. "I love you too" I morphed into my natural state of goo and oozed over Macole, he too turned into his natural state, and we mixed. We fought and struggled right down to the very cells of our being. Shrieks and screams could be heard emanating from us both. I was faintly aware of Jake dragging a crying Johan away to safety. I felt an immense pain deep within me and I oozed off Macole and took on my human shape again. I watched the puddle of goo, the puddle of hate as it slowly took on its human form. "Why do you keep doing this Luke?" "Because your evil" "You know you can't kill me without killing yourself, we could rule them together" "I don't want to rule and I'm not afraid to die" I saw fear fill his eyes at what I said and I knew than he wasn't fighting for fun but he was now fighting for his life. He morphed into a huge creature with big black wings. His body was like a huge bodybuilders but a deep red covered in a fine layer of short black hairs. A long serpent like tail protruded from his buttocks, while little sharp spikes. His face took on the appearance of a dog, with the exception of two big bulls like horns sticking out of his temples. His teeth and claws where razor sharp and he was ready to try and stay alive, to try and beet me unconscious while not killing me. I morphed a pair of golden angel wings on to my back, and a long silver sword into my hand. I crouched, posed ready to strike, I waited for him to make the first move, I didn't have to wait long. He started to mutter something in the old tongue; he placed the palm of his hand out towards me, little sparks of light started to buzz around him, they started to go faster collecting in to a small ball of energy at his palm, with a shriek the ball of energy flew towards me. I managed to jump out of it's way jumping high over Macole's head, as I came down to land I sliced him down his back, he let out a mighty roar as he stumbled forward in pain. The energy ball that was meant for me had struck the electrical equipment on the stage causing it to burst into flames. Unfortunately the entire room was filled with paper decorations...so it didn't take long for the fire to take hold. Smoke filled the room and fire flared up around the dance floor. I morphed back into my human form, and got rid of the sword, I assumed the lotus position, and started to focus all my energy deep inside myself, I wasn't sure why or how I was doing this but it felt totally right. I closed my eyes and felt the amazing power within me building up, ready and waiting to be released. Macole howled loud. "You'll never win Luke I am far more stronger than you, all I need to do is keep you alive, trust me when this is over you will wish you never met me" he charged at me shrieking, his wings up an flared and his claws extended outwards. This was my time to strike, I quickly lost my shape and turned to goo, lifting myself off the floor I pierced his chest and shot straight inside him, where I took on my human form again, ready to release the built up energy I had inside. "What...what you doing?" fear echoed in his voice. His cells tried attacking me but they didn't have a chance...I released the pent up energy I had in a burst of light. I herd Macole scream in agony as his body slowly started to turn to rock, with me still inside. I turned to my natural state and oozed out of a small crack near his groin, there I reformed and watched as he turned to stone, watched the fear in his eyes, he watched me quietly his monstrous frame slowly turning to stone while surrounded by fire, the look of fear on his face, it was truly amazing. "I'm afraid to die..." with that he was totally stone. Something felt odd inside me, something was missing, I knew right than he was truly gone, and I was next. I laid back and looked up at the disco ball rotating above my head. I thought about my life, it was strange I was really calm; I had no feelings at all. The heat of the fire slowly licking my skin, and the smoke surrounding me. "Luke? LUKE!" I heard Johan shouting and I turned to see him and Jake rushing towards me, the picked me up and helped me outside. I lay on the grass surrounded by the entire student body, I watched the stars they where so beautiful, the sound of sirens in the distant. Johan knelt at my side and placed my head in his lap, Jake rushed to my other side and held my hand. "Is he gone?" Jake asked...I merely nodded. "What's wrong Luke? You don't look so well" Johan asked worriedly. "I'm dieing" Johan started to cry. "But you can't die remember, nothing can kill you, you told me remember" he stroked my face gently while tears streamed down his cheeks. "With out Macole I can't survive, the balance is gone" I coughed I felt a cold darkness filling me from inside. "But I love you, I only just got you, please don't leave please Luke I love you" he was crying like a mad man, snot was slowly running from his nose...I loved him so much. The darkness was all over my body now, just my head left to go...than I'd be dead. "Jake...look after Johan for me" "I will...I'll miss you Luke" he said, a single tear rolling down his cheek...cool to the end. "I love you Johan..." "You're a true hero Luke" I heard Jake say. The darkness enveloped my head, my soul my life. I felt like I was slowly slipping away, it was so quiet. Been dead was kind of boring, pitch black quiet, serene and where the fuck was this 'white light' that everyone talked about? Damn. I felt something I had never felt before, a beating deep within my chest. I didn't like it. It sent a rush of energy to my head and I felt dizzy. The blackness didn't seem as near to me as it had before. In fact I felt it slowly retreating, I struggled to open my eyes to see if I was still alive to see what the fuck was going on. My eyes opened to a blurry light, I blinked a couple of times and a picture slowly came into focus, there in the light was Johan and Jake, they where smiling at me happily. I looked around me and realised I was in a hospital bed. I sat up; my head still dizzy and full of questions about why aren't I dead. "Where am I?" I asked "Hospital" Johan replied. "What am I doing here? Is this heaven?" "God I hope not" said Jake. "Why aren't I dead? Is...Macole still alive?" it was the only reason I could think of for me still being alive. "Nope I don't think so" Jake said. I shakily got out of bed, something didn't feel right, I felt different. I noticed I had a hospital robe on and I ripped it off. I stood there in front of Johan and Jake completely nude, Jake blushed and Johan Giggled. I tried to morph some clothes onto myself. I waited a couple of seconds and nothing happened, I tried again but again nothing happened...something was defiantly wrong. I gingerly picked up the hospital robe and covered myself up; Jake couldn't help but burst out laughing. Johan came over and gripped me by my arms. "They took a sample of your blood for testing" he smiled warmly at me. "But I don't have blood, only humans and animals have blood" "Exactly" he kissed me gently on the lips. I didn't get it, is he trying to say I'm human? "I'm human? I can't be, how can this be?" he took my hand and placed it on my chest, I felt the beating of my new heart. "WHOA!" "Yup your one of us now Luke, and after you made me say all that mushy stuff" Jake said. I just couldn't believe it, I was human totally human, I don't know how or why this happened but damn I'M HUMAN! "I love you Luke" "I love you too Johan" I hugged him tight. I felt a slight tingling in my penis and a warm wet patch developed on the front of my hospital robe I felt so embarrassed, I wondered where the hell it came from. "Did you just pee?" Johan asked kind of surprised. "Pee?" "Yea you know like urinating, are you telling me that you never pissed before?" I had a feeling I had a tricky road ahead of me. "I never had to before, it just sort of passed right through me, I just empted it on the night time" "Looks like we have to potty train you" Jake said. I knew right than that my life would be hard from this point I had so much to learn about been human, I didn't know it was so complicated, I even had to look forward to zits! But I had Johan as my boyfriend and Jake as my best friend...my life was going to be great and when death finally comes I wont be afraid...well not a lot I'll just piss myself and hope he slips in the puddle and breaks his neck. The end. I hope you all enjoyed this story...I hated it :0p n e way I hope u enjoyed it, thanx 4 reading it.
