*er... I think everyone is still in that bar, right?*
[Reone Transentios]
A black-haired girl with sort of pale skin stared back at me. Her face looked seriously annoyed, yet, it also had a sad sort of look to it. Hardly any of her hair was still in its ponytail, strands hanging down by her cheeks. I watched her eyes for at least five minutes before I finally figured out that it was... me. Did I really look like that? When had I gotten black hair? It all seemed so distant-- my human self.
"How long has it been?" I wondered out loud, my fingers shaking towards the water.
This couldn't be real, could it? I didn't think that I was still able to transform back into a human. Ripples blurred the image and I had to step back. Fingers. The word sounded unfamiliar, even when I thought it. I clenched and unclenched them, standing there stupidly in pure awe that I could pick things up. I had to try it.
I shoved it into the water and grabbed a handful of pebbles. Interesting... I dropped them and tried to pick up the water, but it kept falling through my fingers.
"Why can't I grab you!" my voice sounded different, so much more softer than the roar I use to use instead.
Out of the corner of my eyes I could see people watching me, confusing painted on their faces. Suddenly, my face felt hot. I looked back into the fountain and saw that it was... red? What happened to the paleness? I had to get out of the open, I felt so unprotected now.
My first instinct was to fly, but I couldn't do that. I had just gotten back to this body, I didn't want to change just yet. What did humans do to go fast? Oh yeah! They ran! It looked simple enough when they did it, so, why not me? At first my feet just grazed the ground, barely getting into a walk. Then, I got faster and faster, until finally... I was running.
It wasn't as great as flying, but it would get me around. The buildings didn't look like a blur and I was so sure that they would. Maybe I wasn't going fast enough? Right foot, left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot...
THUD!
Something hard hit my forehead and I was sent flying down. Which made another thud!. A wave of laughter washed through the building and my face felt hot again. What was this feeling? I looked up and found that other humans in front of me, holding bottles and glasses filled with vile smelling brownish liquid. I set my head back down and took in deep breaths. It had been awhile since I felt pain like this... Someone grabbed my arms and started lifting me back onto my feet. My mouth stumbled for the word that humans used to show gratitude.
"Thanks?" I guessed, my voice sounded more of a whisper compared to the slowly dwindling laughter. Suddenly, I forgot how to stand up straight and my knees buckled underneath, but I was caught. "Thanks..." I mumbled out again.
*anyone want to come in? ^_^*
