Chapter Four: Well….This is Awkward

The boys' jaws still hanging open, Ceylan awkwardly put his hands behind his back and turned his head.

"Heh, I guess was right when he said you guys would do that." He looked back at the boys who were still just letting out quiet stutters.

Blushing, Ceylan bent over and picked up his goggles, slipping them on his head (without taking off his hood some how). He brushed the last of the debris of off his clothes and let out a nervous giggle. "Let's talk about it at the shop."

The walk back to the shop was pretty silent. The boys had regained their posture, and Ceylan tried his best not to make eye contact. When they got back to the shop, Ceylan plopped onto the side room's chair, the others sitting on the couch opposite of him.

"Where do you want me to start?" Ceylan asked, crossing his arms, his hood still over his head. He took off his goggles again, so you could see his green eyes glowing from under the hoodie.

Toxsa was the first to speak up. "How about what the heck you are?" Chooki elbowed the gamer in the ribs, making him wince.

Ceylan unfolded his arms. "Well first of all, I'm a werecat. I saw the book on the table, so I'm sure you guys already know what that is."

The boys looked down guiltily.

"Anyways. Werecats have a certain cat species DNA inside of them, mine is that of a tiger's. You may have seen the stripes on the back of my beast form anyway."

Chooki interrupted Ceylan before he could go on. "How did you become a werecat though?" Guren and Toxsa nodded in agreement.

Ceylan sighed. "Well, first off, I noticed I was a werecat about… a week after we escaped Beast World. I woke up one morning to see that my eyes were, well, you know. I asked about it, and he said that I was a werecat, and that I was one because of some kind of reaction between me and my core brick. I was scared, and I wanted to tell you guys, I really did. But, said that it wasn't a good idea, and said only to reveal it if absolutely .So I wandered the beach for a bit, and I found a small cave hidden from plain sight, so I would practice my new fighting skills there, so I decided to transform there for the first time. I did, and it was scary, but it turned out to be fine, the crystal tower just appeared, and I felt the changes, they were quick and painless. It was actually pretty cool to leap across the caves stone ledges and slice apart the twigs just laying around, and turning back was easy too. What next?"

Toxsa was next to ask. "So….don't werecats usually go all psycho crazy during full moons and stuff?"

"That is true, yes."

The boys looked at each other nervously.

"Don't be afraid though! I shut myself in the cave until the moon fades away so I'm fine. It also happens when I get emotional, like on Quarton. But, during the week and a half before the full moon, I sorta suffer from…. Side effects."

Guren cocked his head. "But the full moon Is in a few days….. is the side effect the eyes?"

Ceylan shook his head. "No, my eyes will always be green, but they turn cat like during the week, yes. I also have two more effects but… I'd rather not show them."

Chooki smiled. "What are they?"

Toxsa wore an evil grin. "Come on….."

Ceylan huffed. "Fine." Ceylan pulled down his hood to show the boys.

Guren just adverted his eyes toward the wall. " Well. This is awkward."

When Cey took off his hoodie, a pair of blue cat ears had popped out. Ceylan blushed as they twitched. " Oh, and there's this."

Guren and the others looked again as Cey unzipped his jacket, and a bushy blue cat tail came out from behind him.

Chooki put his head in his hands. " Well, crap."
