Chapter 23, Christine's transformation

She started smoothly only with a high fever which fortunately wasn’t too bad. She did sleep off and on she’d of course talk to Alex, but soon her hands started to tremble. He tried holding her hand to comfort her, but Riff told him to let her go.

“I know it’s not easy to watch…it wasn’t for her to do the same thing when you changed, but just be here for her and you know I help mentally.”

“Yeah I know just wish I could do something…feel so helpless I want to help her!” Alex wanted to do something...anything to make it easier...

“I know but being here is helping and everyone is different…she could have a short or a long transformation.” Riff tried to comfort him as best as he could. He wasn't very good at being gentle in these kinds of situations...

“If you say so, Riff…” He was sad after that talked…he wanted to help her so badly, but he couldn’t do anything about it. This is the 3rd day of her transformation; her trembling went down a little bit along with her fever. She was only 100 degrees. All he felt like he could do was rub her hand. He was having regrets imprinting on her if this was going to lead to it, but he had to and other werewolves wouldn’t be stealing his girl!

The days turned to weeks and she was still asleep…sometimes her trembles went from ok to a spaz attack! Alex didn’t like that one bit and all he could do was sit there and watch her be in pain and can’t do anything for her! There had to be something he could do...then he vaguely remembered Apollo helping him when he got his powers. He grabs her necklaces one of her dads and one from her mom. 

"Please Apollo I need your help! Christine…Christine is in trouble.”

“What kind of trouble Alex is she alright?”

“Far from it to show my world we were in engaged I had to-“ Alex tried to explain things to him but Apollo cut him off

“Imprint-I knew of some things about werewolves but go on.” Apollo had read a crash course on werewolves before Christine had introduced him to them.

“Well, the girl gets a choice on whether she wants to become a wolf or not. Marie hasn’t decided yet to imprint but she's the only girl werewolf well until now and Rosa hasn't been apart of us for very long she she's still learning...Carmen was the first to say yes by imprint and now Christine is the newest one…please you got to help her!”

“I’ll give it everything I got…” He did give it all he had…he wanted to help his daughter…he supported her decision to do this, but it’s unique from everyone else.”

“Well, that’s as much as I can do for now unless you got something that you’re not telling me. Please take care of my daughter she’s all I got besides my wife. Just tell me she’s going to be alright?”

“She’s going to be alright we wolves heal fast but I’m not sure if we can project that. I’ll do the best I can I’d take her pain if I could but I can’t. What’s this in her pocket?”

“I’m not sure

Dear Alex or whoever reads this,

                I wrote this in case I got worse from my transformation. Dad used this wildflower bottle (that’s probably in my pocket) to help me from my accident I grabbed a bottle when we were home in case of emergencies. This bottle might be of use to you I love you Alex and hope you can make me better.

Love,

Christine p.s to get the full effect you got to kiss me...I love you

I thought I was missing a bottle! That’s where it went well see if it’s where she said!” Sure enough, it was and they tried it…looked like it didn’t do much except her trembling stopped which made them both happy.

“I love it when she’s right it is more effective with true love’s kiss…go on and kiss her silly!” Alex didn’t mind those orders from Apollo he of course listened to him and they thought they heard something.

“Ah by the looks of it her transformation is almost done…the rose we love is coming back to her face. My work here is done.” Apollo was pleased and Bernardo came in to confirm his theory.

“Thanks so much, Apollo, he hugs him, couldn’t have done it without you.”

“You’re welcome and when it comes to my little girl I take it personally.” Apollo was happy to help in any way he could.

“I would too thanks again I’m sure you got to get back to Aphrodite.”

“Yeah she’s getting worried so I’m going to calm her down. I’ll see you around.” And he leaves them alone.

“Groan, Alex is that you hun?” Christine was starting to wake up again.

“I’m here you’re almost done just a little more! The rose in your face is coming back.”

“Oh, goodie just a little more until I can be with you.” Christine tried to sit up again but Alex sat her down gently back into bed.

“Ssh I don't want you to try to get up…try to sleep I’ll be here when you wake up.” Alex kissed her on the forehead and let her get some rest.

“Ok, yawn, night my love.” She kisses him and falls asleep…the minq1`utes felt like hours and the hours felt like an eternity. Even though she slept for about an hour or two to him it felt like forever. The rose in her cheeks came back and her transformation was over. He knew it was over but it was getting late and he fell asleep as well.
