2 Finally Here
After god snapped his fingers, zephyr got surrounded by darkness. then here heard some muffled sounds. he open his eyes a woke up with a start. he looked around and saw trees going by them in a blur.
then he heard something from besides him " zeph? honey? wake up."
he turned around and saw a woman in her late thirties looking at him while keeping one eye on the road cause she was driving. he was about to respond before a wave of dizziness hit him. his mind was filled with memories of zephyr's life and the curriculum of all four years of Beacons Hills high school.
"honey? what's wrong" the woman who he now recognizes as his mother asks in a concerned tone.
" yeah, mom, I'm fine. what were you saying?"
she looked at him in concern for a bit before saying " i was saying that we're finally here."
"oh thank god. I was getting so bored." zephyr replied
"you were getting bored? you were sleeping peacefully. i was the one who had to drive in silence"
"I'm sorry mom, but i promise that when we get the car I'll drive you wherever you want."
he was talking and replying naturally with his mother, there was no need to actively recall his memories like he had read in many fanfics. and it kind of made sense when you think about it. those were his memories inside his brain, it would make no sense if he had to struggle to know such basic information about himself.
" oh really?" his mother said with a mischievous glint in her eye.
he didnt understand why his mother was making such a face because it would be some time before they buy a car for him. his birthday was 2 months ago and that was when he got a license but he dint have a party because the death of his father still laid heavy on their minds.
"yeah, sure. why not." replied zephyr without thinking too much. he started looking out the window and they were finally inside the town.
he looked around and thought that it was much bigger than it was shown in the show.
he kept looking at the people going about their business.
it took little time before they reached their house and when garage door opened he saw that it was huge with enough space for 3 cars and one of the space was already occupied.
there was a car already there covered with tarp. he and his mom got out of the car and he finally understood the meaning of that look in her eyes. he looked at her and saw her smiling at him. "happy birthday. though i know its a little late"
"wha-, umm- ho-"
"dont just stare with your jaw on the floor, go ahead and remove the tarp." his mom urged
he slowly went close to the car and removed the tarp and what he saw made him hold his breathe in sheer excitement. he slowly breathed out and said "she's beautiful"
it was a asphalt black supra mk5 and it looked amazing.
he turned back towards his mom who was looking at him with a smile on her face, he tried saying something but nothing came out so he just walked/ half-ran at his mom and hugged her.
"thank you, its amazing" he said after a while
"it's alright, your dad and i picked it for you together."
this surprised him. his father was a practical man. he could spent large amount of money on things he thought were worth it. but he didn't spend on things he though were impractical. and sports car were one of the things he deemed impractical
"i would have thought he would choose a prius or something for me."
"oh he tried to but i shut that down."
'haha' he chuckled a bit.
"alright lets go inside the house and choose our rooms shall we."
"yeah"
the house was a pretty big, not extravagantly so but still pretty big for just two people, it looked like one of the biggest house on the street. it had a home theatre, jacuzzi, pool. it was a two stories high. zephyr picked his room at the second floor. it was a spacious room, with with a bed, a desk some basic decorations and pictures of his childhood with his parents. He looked at the picture of his 10th birthday, where he was at an amusement park with his parents, he looked at how his dad. he was laughing while holding zephyr. with his other arm around his mother's waist. and for the first time since he got here, guilt started to creep in. he wondered if his father died because of his wish to be a multimillionaire. when his father was alive he didn't have any money, it was only because he died that he got the inherited money, even though he can't use it yet. so did he get into this body because his father died or did his father die because of his wish?
he stood there trying to understand his situation before he shook himself "whatever the reason was it doesn't matter now, I'm already here so its not like i can fix what i cause, if i even caused it at all. now lets go see if god really got my dream looks right." he tried to cheer himself up.
he walked to the mirror and was amazed once again for the second time today. god really got it right. He stood at 185 cm (6 feet 1 inch) with short wavy brown hair one of which had a slight usually unnoticeable path of brown. his face had strong features and a kind, handsome face that put anyone at ease. he was a spitting image of young henry cavill. someone that Zephyr considered to be the one of the most handsome man in his previous life. he was extremely happy with his looks. he might've even used one of his wishes if god didn't just give it to him for free.
after shamelessly admiring himself he moved on to the next most important thing, his weretiger nature. he remembered his father teaching him how to control his emotion, how to never transform even in the worst of situations. his father transferred his rex nature(like alpha for weretigers) to him at a young age because rex weretigers have easier time to control their transformation at stressful conditions. even though it didn't matter now because because he asked for absolute control in one of his wishes. he was asked to take up an relaxing activity which helps him control himself which surprisingly turned out to be martial arts. at first glance fierce and competitive nature of martial arts might seem opposite of relaxing but he was able to find a calming rhythm in fighting almost like a dance.
He learned all types of martial arts like Muay thai, MMA, karate, kung fu aikido etc. he even learned some Kalaripayattu on one of his summer vacation to India. even some of the martial arts like aikido that had some impratical moves became useful for someone like him with super strength and agility.
his father didn't only taught him how to hide his abilities but also how to use them. he was pretty good at using his speed, strength and senses. one of the interesting things about tigers is that they are ambush predators. borrowing from this weretigers have some extra abilities that that other shapeshifters don't. they are able to to erase their scent, sounds of their body, or of their movement. while there are some packs of werewolf that an erase their smell like Satomi's pack. No one can erase their whole presence like weretigers. in forest it is hard for other shapeshifters to spot weretigers easily because of their camouflage. of course these abilities are not that effective in urban regions.
but that was not the most important thing right now. right now he wanted to test his transformation but his room was too small for this. so he went downstairs where he saw his mom setting up some pictures in the living room. he saw her and asked "mom do we have a basement or something for my transformation?"
"of course we do, that was the first thing i checked before i bought the house just go through that door" she replied. Her mom of course knew about his and his father's weretiger nature. his father told her the truth sometime before their marriage. his mother was born in beacon hills, she left the town for college. she met his dad in new york who was also struggling at the time they both fell in love and got married. just half a year after that his father sold the company and became almost an billionaire. his father used to call her his good luck charm and that his life turned around the moment she entered it. he had seen how much they loved each other and the love never faded over the years and she was absolutely devastated by his death but she held herself together for zephyr's sake.
"and before you forget here you go" his mom said throwing something towards him. he caught it and realized that it was a necklace with a tiger symbol on it. it was something that dad had to keep to keep his clothes intact when he transformed. the clothes would be stored in the necklace when he transforms and and appear back on his body when he transforms back into human.
"thanks." he said and started making his way for the basement. in the basement he saw that it was quite spacious it was both high enough and large enough that he could transform without any problem.
"alright, lets start." and he started transforming into first was partial beast form. it looked the same as scott and other betas. his face enlongated and four huge canines appear in his mouth. his eyes started shining purple. his feet started becoming padded to ensure silent movement, his hands started getting covered in silver white fur and retractable claws started appearing on his fingers. these claws looked extremely huge and sharp. his bright purple eyes were indicative of his rex or alpha status. normal weretigers have silver eyes but rex weretigers have purple eyes. he looked at the mirror that was set up and examined his body.
after getting satisfied he started his bipedal beast transformation. he started growing in height and muscle. silver white fur appearing everywhere on hid body accompanied by some black fur. his face stated getting rounder and two more canines started appearing in his mouth. now he had six canines 4 on the upper jaw and 2 on the lower jaw. he looked at his now 7 feet 10 inches huge and muscular figure covered in white fur with black stripes . although he was covered in muscle he was not feeling heavy or slowed down in the slightest, in fact his body was bursting with energy. he felt extremely strong, like he could move the world without a lever or fulcrum. of course he knew that was impossible but that's how he felt.
"ok, lets move on" he said and started his full beast transformation. his bones started cracking, breaking and rearranging themselves they started to grow to accomodate his growing figure. he got on all fours and started groaning in pain but it was not as much as he had thought, maybe because this body has done it his whole life. the transformation soon stopped and he looked in the mirror. what was staring back at him was a majestic beast covered in sliver white fur and black stripes. it looked regal, more than twice the size of the largest tiger. his beast form inspired fear and commanded respect.
he laid down on all fours his head on his front paws and started thinking about what he should do. it must have been and hour or two before he got on his feet and returned to his human form. as soon as he did the clothes returned on his body.
"alright the first thing i should do is buy some nordic blue monkshood it will take some time to arrive so might as well get it over with now."
he went back to his room and started searching on internet for it. it really was a rare plant. it took some time before he found someone selling it and bought it. it was a little expensive but that didnt matter to to him. after that he had dinner with his mom and went to sleep.
