The Mate Of The Weredragon

It was another lonely Saturday night, and I was spending it alone as always. One Friday afternoon, I was on my laptop looking through different sites, when I stumbled onto an unfamiliar website called CyberCupid.com which offers hope to lonely singles like myself.

I took a chance and browsed through it looking at the different women until I saw one that took my breath away! Her hair was so beautiful; it was of a golden yellow color, she had creamy colored skin, beautiful red lips, and beautiful hazel eyes. It was like destiny had picked her out especially for me.

I clicked on her profile and we talked for awhile about different tastes in music, food, what type of animals we liked, all that jazz. Then she wrote that we should go out on a date this Saturday night at 8 p.m. and I wholeheartedly agreed! After logging off, something hit me; I remembered that I was actually a weredragon!I was not looking forward to tomorrow night.

Saturday night came quickly as I put on my best tuxedo and dress shoes. The thought about me being a weredragon hung heavily on my mind as I was finishing getting dressed and was waiting for the young woman to appear. Suddenly, I heard the doorbell ringing and rushed downstairs then opened the door.

It was the woman from the website and she was even more beautiful in real life then on her profile picture. I could feel my cheeks burn red as I stared into her beautiful hazel eyes and my heart pounded like a drum.

She smiled and said, "Can I come in?" I snapped from my stupor and let her inside my house. The woman sat on my couch and I sat next to her barely containing a smile on my face. I asked,"So where do you want to go for a date tonight...uh.....?"

The woman replied, "My name's Hazel, Hazel Reid. I never caught your name,sir." I coughed nervously and eventually told her that my name was Joseph Grant. Hazel smiled and got up from her spot then opened the door and headed for her car as I followed her like a puppy.

We got inside of the car and went to the most fanciest restaurant in the town called Le Chez Fancy. Luckily, I made the reservation before Hazel came and the Maitre'd came then sat us both down at a table near the window.

After that, the waiter came to take our orders. Hazel ordered the frog's legs and when the waiter turned to me and asked for my order,I said,"C-Could I have....," I had to be careful not to let Hazel know about my secret and ruin my chance for happiness,"a...a...steak...please? Extra bloody?"

The waiter looked at me like I was a circus freak and just shook his head then took our menus. After a while, we received our meals.

Hazel just ate her meal peacefully while I tried my best not to give into my dragon side and enjoy my date. I shook while looking at the meat and without thinking, I grabbed it with my hands and wolfed it down like I haven't ate for weeks.

As I gulped it down, the other diners looked at me and muttered to themselves. I looked at everyone and gave a low growl to myself, paid the bill, then me and Hazel left the restaurant.

Hazel looked up at the sky and smiled at me then told me, "Look, there's a full moon tonight! Isn't it lovely?" My eyes widened with horror as I stared at the moon and told Hazel that we needed to get home quickly.

She looked at me like I was joking around and said, "Uh, Joseph, you're acting like the moon will do something to you. What are you a werewolf or something?" I chuckled nervously and then felt a twinge of pain radiating from my body causing me to kneel onto the ground.

Hazel ran to my side and asked me was I okay? Was it from food poisoning or gas? I stood up, took Hazel's hand, and ran as fast as I could to the nearest alleyway before anyone could see me.

After we got there, I let Hazel's hand go but when I did,she was very angry and said, "Why did you bring me here!? You'd better have a good reason why you dragged me here?" I sighed in defeat and finally told her that I was a weredragon.

Hazel just looked at me in bewilderment then she just laughed at me like it was a punchline from a bad joke. I sighed and another twinge of pain radiated causing me to kneel on the ground again this time,the change was starting.I felt the muscles in my body start to swell up in my arms, legs, and chest giving me strength not to mention it ripped my tuxedo apart like ribbons.

I felt my skeleton pop and rearrange to a more quadruped feature and my organs rearranged to different places in my body. Golden scales formed and spread throughout my body while my fingers started to merge into a huge draconic paw.

My nails grew out as huge talons from my nail bed. As the changes kept happening, I looked up and saw that Hazel was watching the entire transformation. She was staring horrified, yet intrigued. I felt my dress shoes getting tighter as my toes grew out and ripped my shoes apart then I felt the balls of my feet stretching out causing my balance to be impaired.

My neck stretched out as well as my larynx which felt like a fire inside of my throat. I yelled out, but it only came out as a huge roar that echoed through the night .My face stretched out as a snout while my nose shrunk into my face leaving only two nostrils flaring wildly.

I felt like my head was about to explode as two silvery horns started growing out of my head and continued to grow outwards. My ears became pointed then split as a fin as the same silver webbing weaved through them.

Hazel approached me slowly then she stopped midway and backed away as my vertabrae stretched out and stopped at the base of my tailbone, a huge tail started to grow out more. Two arm like appendages burst out from my back then a silver membrane formed through the fingers while I flapped my wings dry.

I felt my eyes split apart from the middle of my face to each side then I felt something sharp in the middle of my head as silver spikes formed and grew down towards my tail. I felt a pain in my mouth and when I opened it, my teeth became huge pointed fangs.

Finally my tongue began to change;it became more thinner and became slitted like that of a serpent's! Lastly, I saw silver plated scutes growing from my neck towards my underbelly.I raised my head and roared in the moonlight to signify that my transformation was completed then I looked at Hazel and gave a small growl to her.

I thought that Hazel would run away now that she knew what I was,but suddenly,I saw a smile on her face.She approached me and hugged my snout then said, "I'm glad that I wasn't the only one." I had a look of bewilderment when she told me that "she wasn't the only one", but what did she mean by that?

It didn't take me long to find out; as soon as she let go of my snout, Hazel walked back and took in a deep breath. Hazel's muscles started to swell in her arms, legs and chest making her stronger and ripped her dress apart.

Silver scales underneath and spread throughout her body then her fingers fused together into a huge draconic paw. Like myself, her skeleton had started making sickening popping and cracking noises as it rearranged itself into a more quadruped form.

Her neck also stretched as her larynx also stretched out too; Hazel's vertabrae started to stretch out then stopped at the base of her tailbone and burst through as a huge tail. The balls of Hazel's feet started to stretch outwards causing her to momentarily lose her balance, but regained it. I stood there awestruck as the girl of my dreams was transforming into a dragon like myself.

As her transformation continued,sharp talons grew out from her nail bed also as well as from her toes, but Hazel's shoes started to rip open and revealed the same paws. Suddenly, two ruby red horns grew from her head and kept growing outwards, while I saw her face stretched out as a huge snout as her nose shrunk leaving two holes flaring wildly.

She groaned in pain as the same two arm like appendages burst through her back but with a ruby colored membrane weaving through the fingers as she flapped them dry. Her eyes shifted from either side of her face causing Hazel to shut her eyes for a bit, then opened them. Next, Hazel's ears stretched out and became pointed then split into a fin.

Ruby colored membranes weaved through them too just like mine did. Spikes grew out from her back and reached down towards her tail like mine did, but hers were ruby red.

Finally, Hazel felt her mouth throb and opened her mouth;her teeth started to become more sharper.Then her tongue started to get thinner and became forked like those of a serpent's. After the transformation was over, Hazel roared out towards the moonlight signaling that her transformation was done then she looked at me and smiled.

She approached me and explained what happened to her;two months ago,Hazel was walking her dogs in the local park and she was attacked by a fearsome beast.

After the attack, she was going through the transformation like I did, but she was worried that people would come after her because she was a weredragon, so she isolated herself. Finally, Hazel decided to try the dating scene,so she went on CyberCupid.com to find someone who was just like her.

I was amazed; the girl I fell in love with, was a weredragon too, just like me. I smiled and gave her a lick on her cheek, then Hazel looked at me with the same hazel eyes I fell in love with and nuzzled me under my chin.

I figured why don't we just fly home? It'd save money on gas and Hazel agreed, so we flapped our wings and took off into the moonlit night. I guess there is someone out there for somebody, even if they're a weredragon too.
