The Ravinhill City files: book one

[Britt Nightshade]

Toby on the other hand had the attempting try to calm Frank down, but before he open the door all the way he ducked from something zooming right by him. It came that fast it was hard to describe, but it was something that was breakable hearing a slight crash where it landed. Frank was without a clear word but trying his best to say something without it slurring from his mouth, panic was the only thing he was thinking about. Toby looked on the ground to see in hunched by the sink with his face covered, unable to see much but a slight tint of red on his arms like he got burned by something.
"Jussst get him down here ssso he can explain what the hell is going on here, and thiss isnt a hallucination."

Toby's ears were not tricking him this time as he could hear clear that Frank was hissing his words whenever it was an 's' sound or close. Frank looked up to him finally to catch a glance of the expression of confusion mixed in shock.

"I have no idea whatsss going on right now, just waking up to a bad itch and...and.....looking into the mirror at this going on. A freak accident that I didn't even do unless it was in my sleep."
Brittney finally came down dragging Jeremy half out of it, but enough to keep on his feet to the bathroom door where both of them heard a tussle inside. In a panic impulse Frank was trying to get away as Toby tried to look and see to be of any help, but ended up having to defend as he attacked from the fright. Jeremy pulled Toby away from getting bit, which was a good idea since he caught a glimpse of fang as Frank recoiled back unable to put might of a fight anymore.

"Well it sseems that the little project is taking itss effect with you. I didn't think it would be as quick as the matter of a couple hours. The fangs and scales seem to be coming in pretty quickly than expected."  

[Britt Nightshade]

"Oh please, I bet your reaction to your own face of scales didn't have you whistling at them, but just as freaked out as I was." Frank said a little annoyed and frustrated trying to keep from thrashing around again.
At the same time Jeremy didn't realize the whole thing would be as big as what he was seeing, not as dark as his own Frank's scale were starting to show in patches one tone darker than his original skin color. It went the same with the patches creeping onto his hands and arms, red in irritation trying to break from the skin and the surrounding skin.
"Looksss like your sssscales are trying to come in, but itss gonna be a little irritated for awhile since your skin isnt used to them and trying to fight back the change on the body. Trust me the itching was twice as bad as a sssssunburn or poison ivy but it'll clear up with a little care."

Jeremy tried to talk to Frank as he was still doing his best to hide away from looking at him or even the mirror. Then again curiosity got the best of him and looked again to try and snap from going crazy, Frank could see that Jeremy was right and the areas that were around the skin had a slight reddish tone from being irritated. Seeing that he was touching his face and knew it was real Frank was calming his breathing slightly looking to the changes. Jeremy heaved a sigh at looking to the changes, and could tell that though the changes were a lot to look at a few things were a little different. Like Jeremy's eyes the color had changed to a reptilian tone, but instead of the whites being brown they remained the same.

"Ssseems like in a way you changed, but only partially kinda like a halfling hybrid."  

[Britt Nightshade]

He did get a good punch on the shoulder, but then again he did have it coming for the fact it barely have little humor from the sound of it. Besides that Frank was feeling a little better with the skin calming down, but still was bugging him a little to itch. Jeremy kept him from going for the new skin, being careful around the scales and observed his eyes as the changes were starting to take effect on his sight.
"On the bright ssside at least you know what'sss going on and I can help you with whatever happens. True you night jusst be half, but I'm not sure what could happen that will be happening for you. Hopefully with the partial strain, the abilitiesss wont be as advance as mine. But we wont know till sssome time passesss."
Jeremy stayed with Frank to try and help with his scale patches and back on his feet from nearly crashing into the sink from the panic of seeing in the mirror.

Just as he expected the fangs were starting to come out from the top, and become part of Frank's mouth along side with his existing teeth. It wasn't taking too long as Jeremy wanted to get any venom that was probably being made inside the fangs themselves, another reason to be quick to extract before it ends up being more of a mess to deal with. Frank watched him slip the vial on his fang, but he was a little jumpy at how tender the gum was around the fangs that Jeremy had to stop a few times not to get bit on accident. In a way it was like Frank was getting the idea how Jeremy felt about being chased around and have a vial stuck into his mouth. In a few seconds the little vial had whatever venom that was made, giving Frank a little relief of the water filled feeling he was getting from the fangs.
"With thisss I can be able to figure out a little more if you are jusst as potinent or a little milder. Going to be quite a variety of tessting for awhile."  

[Britt Nightshade]

As funny as it all sounded Jeremy kept Frank from getting into a bigger mess with his temper slightly a little hot fused than normal, but then again who could blame him for wanting to take a shot at him if it meant having to go through the same thing with the snake related puns. Instead he was able to keep himself together thanks to restraint from Jeremy, as he tried to keep him in place while Toby backed off from seeing fang.

"I think that'ssss quite enough for one time around, Frank here hasss to let everyone know that thingsss are going to be a little different now he'ss a halfling now. And at the same time I have to try and be the best at giving all I know to help him out."

At this point Frank was tarting his tongue in annoyance at the fact not only was he half of a human and hybrid, but at the same time even he was still going to figure out what was the different and what was a major change from the ordinary. The scales were slowly coming in, while the fangs were still like a toy of sorts getting used to.  

[Britt Nightshade]

Of course the realization of seeing the scales was a bit of a shock, but what was done was done and the next step was to figure out how everything worked against what he could do in the past. The speech was being a little difficult, but Frank was thinking it would be temporary till his mouth had a chance to adjust to the new fangs and slit tongue. The smelling part was a little strange as he was able to smell things whenever his tongue would flick out into the air,picking up anything that was around. He knew a little bit that flicking was how a snake smelled things, but didn't realize his regular sense of smell wasn't as strong like it was anymore feeling like he was slightly stuffed in the nose with allergies.

"Something a little bit odd to get use to, sticking out the tongue I have clear smell like a dog, then when closed its like a nasty case of allergies. Well, I think this will be a little on the interesting side to get used to."
Frank flicked his tongue in and out a few times to get an idea then looked back to the mirror to look at his eyes again, still looking normal but with the look of having a different color contact tone in them. The fright seemed to had soften a little bit more as he was getting a closer look to everything that had change in a more curious look besides the spook from hearing the door frame tapping.

"Thisss lookss like I can have a little fun once the dussst ssettles from those two fighting out there." he had a smirk of trouble on his face that showed he was going to use this to be up to no good as Brittney only rolled her eyes at the look. Something that couldn't be put passed him since along with the other boys Frank was one to watch too.  

[Britt Nightshade]

Even if there wasn't a heated argument going on the outside, there was a chance that even if he could it would be unsuccessful. Franks gingerly rubbed at his mouth from the soreness his fangs were giving, but even that wasn't making things any better from barely trying to hide it as Brittney could see on his face.
"If you wanted to go and try it your not even in the best of shape, if your mouth is giving you a problem it might be a sign to think twice. I say give it a day or two to let everything get out into place."

She went to looked at Frank, but heaved an annoyed sigh watching him play vanity in the mirror at the changes that it was like looking at a guy who find his face a top priority thing to check every minute.

"I'm sure that after a little teaching from Jeremy, and actually paying attention to the little lectures, it might make things a little more easier. True your spitting like a faucet but knowing a few things from him will do some good, since you both are already getting tight with being buddies of the basement. Getting together will shed a little light on what to do to keep a control on things."

After a few more choice words coming from the other side of the door the fighting sounded like it was calming down. There wasn't much else that could be done anymore but to deal with the aftermath and pick up the pieces to make it right. Frank thought about and knew that Jeremy already had to deal with this stuff before with his change, just getting through the boring part of learning he had to get through without nearly falling asleep.
