True form

I sat there for a second before jumping up and rushing to the door.

"You can come back in now" I say while peeking my head out the door.

Soon after we are both seated back on the couch. An awkward silence envelopes the room briefly before Shar's father speaks, "well I'm sure you're both tired from all your travels how about some refreshments."

He then takes a bell previously resting on the table and rings it. A little while later a woman dressed in maid attire enters pushing a metal cart. To my left Shar drooled as the maid unloaded the mountain of sweets.

"Fufu, such a cute reaction" I say.

"Have you done it yet" I almost jumped at the question being asked before facing the perp.

Every ones head turned to Shar's mom.

"No, no we haven't" I said blankly while I admired how shameless she was.

"Now don't you think that's a bit to personal" Shar's dad scolded.

"Humph"

I couldn't tell what to be more surprised about, how shameless she was or how he talked as if this was a daily occurrence.

"Well now that the mood has been thoroughly ruined I'm going to contemplate my life choices" I say while standing from the couch.

I wandered the halls for a bit before ending up in the back yard.

"Hmm~, I wonder" I quickly looked around to see if anyone was around and thankfully no one was.

I undid my human transformation and a few seconds later I am a 9 foot tall wolf with white fur.

"Hmm~, well that was an interesting experience."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

My head shoots up to see a maid standing at the back door and I freeze. Not a second later a couple of knights arrive and surround me. Soon after the duke, his wife, and Shar arrive at the back door.

"WWWWWAAAAAAAAIIIIIITTTTT~" Sharla yells before running up to me and putting herself in between me and everyone else.

"Sharla! Get away from there now" her father yells to her.

"No!"

"Now is not the time to be stubborn! Get back here!"

"I won't let you hurt Shess!"

"Huh?"

Though I was probably going to get scolded by Shar later it was quite cute watching her defend me. In all honesty I probably could have killed them all as my stats doubled but that would probably cause a whole lot of unnecessary problems.

"I just can't get a break can I" I complained while transforming back into a human.

Everyone's expression goes to shock as they see they white haired, red eyes girl that arrived not long ago.

"Well you certainly have a strange taste don't you honey" Mary says.

"Humph" Shar gives a cute humph before latching onto me.

"Oh I didn't used to be this way. In fact I was human until just a while ago."

"Uhuh" she said still on guard, "how about we go inside and have a chat."

"So what was that" she asked.

"My true form" I say simply.

...

By the end of our discussion Shar's parents had even squeezed information about my 'gift' and in an attempt to get away I say, "it's getting quite late, how about we continue this conversation some other time."

"Hmm~ oh yes you're quite right, you have traveled so far how about some dinner" Shar's mom said while looking out the large glass window.

...

After walking for a good minute or two we arrived at a large room with a very big table with six chairs on either side and one on each end.

We continued talking for a while before several maids came in pushing carts with several different dishes.

They were quick to work and in no time a plate of ham lay in front of each person. An assortment of silverware lay next to everyone's plate, a cup of wine for the adults and some tea for us.

"Hmm, I'd like to have a talk with you after dinner" I say to Shar's father.

Note: ok so this chapter is short even by my standards but I just wanted to get it out there. And yes it's late, I got caught up writing a chapter for my other series which is doing pretty well if I do say so myself.

As you can tell I'm not good with food as I don't particularly pay attention to texture or taste. I mean I do but I don't keep a mental note of the texture and taste of everything I eat, cause the dinner scene would be much longer.

You know the drill, stay safe, stay healthy, thanks for reading and have a good morning/day/night!
