I'M A WHAT?!?!

    by: Unknown
I couldn't believe my reflection, and I could almost guarantee that this isn't a funhouse mirror. There would be no way possible it could! My teeth were now slightly pointed, like every tooth was replaced with a canine tooth. My pupils were thin black slits and my iris was now yellow. Those I could live with, but the last new feature of mine definitely said freak. Gills...that's right, gills. I could feel them taking in air as they opened and closed.

"Travis what happened?!" shouted a voice.

<i>Oh man it's my mom! If she sees this she'll freak! But I need an excuse for the scream...uh.....</i>

I didn't reply in time. The door swung open and my mom had her usual worried expression on her face. But this expression changed to complete shock. But it wasn't a first time shock, it was like the time I found my favorite toy when I was a kid hidden in my parents closet. She was hiding something from me, I could tell from her face. And it had to do with this. Tears began to fall from her eyes and she quickly left. I wanted to go after her, but I could tell she needed to do something alone. I just hope she would be alright.

=======================

Mrs. Greenway walked down the stairs in tears. The one thing she  managed to hide from her son, and he finally found it. She mentally kicked herself from her mistake. She walked to the phone and dialed in a number. The tone rang twice before someone finally answered.

"Hello?" asked a voice.

"Hi...dear..." she replied in tears.

"Jennifer....? What's wrong?! What happened...?!"

"It's...it's Travis..."

"What happened to Travis?!" A silence passed, Jennifer unable to say anything. "Oh...he found out..."

"Harold...I don't know what to do..."

"Settle down dear....just make sure Travis doesn't go anywhere. I'll be home as soon as I can."

With that Jennifer hung up and waited patiently for her husband.

======================

After the experience with mom I took a long shower. But despite the hot water I couldn't get the fact my mom was hiding something. And, if it related, was she hiding this? After my shower, I dressed in comfortable shorts a a T-shirt. I chose a T-shirt because I was still curios about my new feature. Gills...that explains why my windpipe was splitting.

That leads to another thing, what were those other two glands? Before I could continue thinking, a knock on my door shook me out. "Honey...it's mom" she said. I could still hear her sadness. "Could...could you come downstairs...your father and I want to talk to you."

I waited a few seconds before finally leaving my room. From the upstairs I could hear small sobs from my mom. I walked down the stairs, seeing my mom with her hands against her face and crying. My dad was beside her, gently hugging her. Once I hit the last step, both of my parents were aware.

"Hello son" said my father.

I took a seat in the chair across from the couch my parents were in. "What's going on?" I asked calmly.

"It's that...well..."

My mom suddenly burst into tears. "We've been lying to you!"

I sensed it but I never knew it was true. "Yes son...we have been lying to you. It's that....we are technically are not your parents..."

I wasn't expecting that. "...Then...who are you...? More importantly...who...or what am I...?"

"Well, your mother and I are scientists...as for you...your name is Travis...but you are...a lab experiment..."

You have the following choices:

1. Get angry(reserved)

*Noteb*
2. Stay and listen

*Noteb*
3. Other reaction

*Noteb* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
