Ch 8 : Here fishy, fishy~!

"Why the hell haven't I found it already?!" Logan shouted in anger after he left his mind, he was still sitting in a mediating posture on the floor in his room. He was still trying to find his animal side and it had already been a month with no luck.

"Why be angry Master White? Do you need helps?" Dobby asked his Master after popping into the room, appearing because of the shout he heard.

"I don't think you would be able to help Dobby, I'm trying to find my inner animal, inside my mind, so when I finally try and transform into it, I have a clear picture of what I'm trying to actually transform into." Logan explained with a tired sigh, rubbing his temples to try and dissipate the headache that was beginning to form.

"Why don't Master White's use bait to catch the animal? That's what Dobby be doing when he wants to catch animals." Dobby smiled widely as he explained.

As if Dobby had just spoke the words of a god Logan sprang up from the floor and lifted Dobby up off the ground as well, giving him a giant hug, probably the biggest hug he would have ever had if not the only hug he ever had. Dobby was frozen in shock and he looked like he didn't know what to do, either be extremely excited that Logan was hugging him or be worried that Logan was giving him a hug as he was his Master and he was always told by the other elf's that he would be luck if he got a Master that didn't punish him to much, did that mean he used up all his luck when he got Logan as his Master, Dobby thought to himself.

"That's a brilliant idea Dobby." Logan said after putting him down and patting him on the head, now able to do it a bit more comfortably, he had finally started growing again after eating right for a time and reversing the damage done to him after living in the orphanage his entire new life.

"Thank you Master White, umm, Master White was it being alright that you gave Dobby a hug, it being his first, but other elf's be saying that Master's don't be hugging elf's, being told that Master's punishes elf's." Dobby asked Logan reluctantly as he actually wanted more hugs, but he couldn't stop himself from asking.

"Huh, technically that was my first hug as well" 'At least in this life anyway.' Logan added inside his head, "But don't worry it's fine, those people aren't meant to be an elf's Master if that's how they would have treated you. Sadly there are a lot of people like that in our magical world and even in the non-magical world, there's a lot of hate out there and it's normally for someone's own odd sense of satisfaction, that normally being the feeling of being better then someone else." Logan said with a serious look on his face, but he quickly adopted a smile again, "But don't be worrying your little head about those difficult sounding things, okay?" Logan asked Dobby who then nodded their head.

"Now I'm going to try again but using bait this time. Let's hope it works this time." Logan said once again sitting down and entering his mind.

Dobby popped away a much happier elf but his thoughts heavier with Logan's words, he didn't like that his fellow house elf's had to suffer under terrible Masters, "They's should be having Master like mine... " Dobby said to himself his a frown but as if he had a brilliant idea his face lit up, popping away again to who knows where.

...

"Alright, let's start off with a bloody piece of meat, hopefully this attracts whatever my animal is." Logan said aloud as he thought up a fresh cut of pork, making it appear out of the air in front of him, "Now I just need to wait."

...

"It's been a couple hours already and I'm now bored of strengthening my minds defences ... maybe I should try a different bait if meats not working." Logan said to himself as he walked up to the cut of pork, just before he was going to make it disappear he saw something coming up from underneath it.

"What the he-!" Logan started before he was cut off by the giant fucking shark breaching out of the ground!!!

It was like the inky black ground had turned into water, letting the shark come out and eat the meat that he had left out.

After swallowing the cut of pork whole the shark just sat on the surface of what Logan was now thinking of calling his sea of consciousness, probably not a good sign that it was completely black, and it just looked at him, watching him closely.

"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Logan asked the shark not even sure if it understood him but he was sure that it did when it suddenly spat black water at him, making him soaked.

"Haah, of course my animal side just has to be like this, you know how look I've been looking for you?" Logan asked the shark who just looked at him blankly.

"And you can't talk... I think my minds beginning to slip away from me, anyway ... I'm going to call you Bruce from now on." Logan said to the shark who nodded and the image of another giant shark appeared in his mind along side a clownfish.

"Can you stick around this area and protect my inner mind." Logan said pointing towards the crystal hovering just above his sea of consciousness, Bruce nodded his head again and swam away again, now idly circling around underneath the crystal.

Logan smiled at that and left his mind soon after.

...

Now back in his room Logan thought to himself before saying, "I'll have to look into what affects your animal side, if the ritual changed my animal side or gave me one, it could be an interesting study if I can make use of it." Logan said aloud, before calling for Dobby and asking him to get him a leaf of a mandrake.
