Faith looked at me for a few seconds before her eyes closed and her head dropped the few inches to the ground. I went over to her and picked her up, moving her violet hair out of her face with a small smile on my face. With her purple hair and eyes she was even more beautiful than she had been before. Too bad that in all the time I had been with her, I had only smelled arousal on her when she looked at another girl.

I made my way to the nurse’s office most people getting out of my way as I went, most giving me a strange look as the string bean of a boy carried the weight of the girl in his arms. I made it to the nurse’s office without much trouble. Faith was still out of it. I wanted to pound her parents big time. Now I don’t care if you do not know the time of birth, but if someone goes through the blessing it is best for them and those around them for them to be where they can be keep safe. It is very hard on those that go from non-blessed to blessed. In a lot of cases the body is rebuilt at least on some level. I mean it has to be since they are adding on about 400 years of life.

The nurse looked up as I walked into her office. She is a Lycanthrope. I heard her let out a growl before she stopped herself, just as I gave a hiss before I could stop myself as well. Nekomori and Lycanthropes just do not get along well. We can and do, but when we meet a new, one instincts take over. That is one of the reasons that some countries have named us animals and protected us under the endangered species act.

“Hello my name is Sam,” I told her, not meeting her eyes. Most people would take that as a being disrespectful but I had just walked into her domain and brought someone sick and weak. I was not challenging her at this time. “Faith here just got blessed.”

I then backed up giving the nurse time to look her over. She was fast with her work, taking blood as well as checking the eyes and other vitals. When she was happy with what she saw she sat down then looked at me.

“Why are you still here, cat?” she asked with venom in her voice. I could tell from the smells coming off her she had just had a long day and did not feel like having a student giving her any issues and that was also cutting down on her control of herself around a Nekomori.

“Well, nurse, the thing is that today is my first day and I was told to stick with Faith and she would show me around the school and such. Not only that, the last classes of the day are the ones I do not have to go to since I do not know if I will be going to them or not in two days.”

“Ah, so tomorrow is your blessing day. I remember my kids blessing days. And the great grand kids as well. Shoot, I remember Merlin’s face in the sky.”

“No wonder my instincts are strong around you as they are. I heard that the originally blessed Lycanthrope and Nekomori had a lot harder time controlling themselves around each other. And that a original can set a later generation off just as much. You know, I have yet to get a name from you.”

“I am called Nurse Wolf, and yes that was my last name before the curse, though my husband became a Nekomori, which I still joke with him about.”

I chuckled as I watch her make a call to Faith’s parents to come pick her up.

“So how are her parents? She did not get my reference to blessing day. Most of those that still call it curse day are the more extreme anti-blessed groups.”

“There is one other group out there that call it curse day. That is the group that loses the blessing on their sixteenth birthday. Her adoptive parents were born Lycanthrope. Both of them lost the blessing on their sixteenth birthday.”

“Dang, so do you think that she will be safe with them?”

“Considering that they are my relatives, I do. Do not get me wrong. They were very angry when they lost the blessing. They were able to keep at least the human form enhanced senses. For the most part they do not talk about the days that they had before their sixteenth birthday, though right now they are in some test to try and get their powers back.”

“Yeah I have heard of those tests. My father is going to be working with the university to help them with that. I am happy he is looking for a way to give people back their blessing. I just hope that I do not need to be one of the ones that have to get it back.”

“Oh, That’s right, your sixteenth birthday is coming up.”

“Tomorrow. I tried to talk my parents to let me stay home so I can stay in cat form all day. Or make potions all day. Shoot, I have about a hundred does of potion that are already to go that would turn me into a cat that can work on a norm or blessed just as well.”

“Wow, not taking any chances, I see.”

“Yeah, though my father already told me he would be willing to make me more after I am through with them if I need them. I hate that about the blessing. Tt would not be as bad if it was just genetic. Then I would be safe. No, it is random with no real rhyme or reason to it. It is just my whole life has been kind of based on being blessed. To lose that I do not know what I would do.”

“Life goes on, I know that is not an answer but it does. If there was one thing that these last seventy-five years has taught me, it is that life goes on. No matter what you are blessed whether it is as a normal or as a blessed.”

At that point two people ran into the office. I could smell a little wolfbane on them and figured that they were Faith’s adoptive parents. I could smell their fear as well as love for Faith. There was little to no worry that they would be having a issue with the fact that Faith was now a magic user.

The woman chuckled a little once she was done making sure Faith was okay. “Man, it is kind of funny that her hair is now her favorite color.”

They both got up from checking her at that time. The one continued speaking, “So are you the one that helped our daughter out?”

“Yes today is my first day of school, so she was helping me out, showing me around the school.”

“Man you have it rough kid,” said the man the first time. “I can smell the lust from here though there is one big thing that is going to make that suck royally for you kid.”

“The fact that she is a lesbian? Yeah the only time I smelled any arousal on her was when she was looking at girls. So I knew that I was screwed with that, though I can definitely see us becoming friends.”

With that Faith woke up at last. She shot up and looked around. Her mom and dad gave a hug to help calm her down.

“You okay, Faith?” I asked

“Yeah Sam, I’m good, though thinking that I got shafted on having to go to school today.”

“Hey it could be worse. When you were blessed you released a lot of magic. Without the protective circle I put around you, you could have hurt your family. Go home and relax, get used to your new body.”

I then reach into my bag and pulled out my starter grimoire. I took a piece of paper and wrote my address on it, folded it and tossed it to her. “Here this will get you by until you can get to the coven to get your advanced one.”

She opened up the grimoire and her eyes shot open. When she first looked at it, the page was blank before she opened it. Now it showed a potion, a ley line spell. “So what is your potion?”

“A potion to make a charm to dry yourself.”

We both share a small laugh as she and her family left for their home. I said goodbye to the nurse and left as well, figuring that I might as well go home since there was no reason for me to stick around school with only two classes left, when I did not have to go to either.

I took to skies on the way home figuring that if things went wrong with the next day this would be my last time to be able to fly like this. I have been told by people that the ride on the store bought charms is nowhere near as good as a home stirred charm is.

When I walked in I saw both my mother and father sitting in the front den watching TV.

“Yo,” I said with a smile seeing them.

“Aren't you home early?”

“Yeah Dad. Gym and the extra elective will be periods seven and eight for me. That, and the girl that the school had helping me get around for the day was blessed today. She went from a norm to a ley line and earth witch. No circle though. She had an eye and hair color change as well.”

“People with the circle in the eyes are very rare. Though the hair color change is not that rare a lot of people who become blessed will find some change in their body. Your aunt had a boyfriend who became a girlfriend with the blessing.”

“And I thought that losing power would be the worst case with the blessing.”

“Well, no real issues with it.”

“Well, I think that I think I am going to call it day.”

I shifted to my cat form. Don’t ask me where everything I was wearing goes. I do not know. What really sucks with it is the fact that I lose all my charms with it. So I am stuck as a pink cat, not that it really matters to me. I just love how it feels as a cat.

I spent the next two to three hours just playing around the house. It is kind of sad that every house we ever lived at had a playground that would make any cat envious of it. I always found it funny that we normally had two to three cats and we had none at this time. Finally, I took a slight cat nap.

I heard my mother calling me downstairs, so not thinking anything of it I ran down the stairs. When I got downstairs I saw Faith, and gave my mother a look from hell.

“Hey, you know to never come down in animal form,” my mother told me. “If you don't want people to see you in your animal form, then you should not come down.”

“Is that you Sam?” Faith asked.

I shifted back to my human form. As I took my human form, all of charms came back and with them, the forest green fur. I look at her bashfully, “So would you like to come up to my room?”

She nodded. I led her over to the transportation circle, sliced my hand with a claw and teleported us to my room.

“So how do you feel?”

“I feel good, so pink fur?”

“I just got to point that I can change my fur color with the charm. I got hell for my fur color at my old school. The strongest potion maker in the school, and I was bullied big time.”

“You keep saying potions, but all I am seeing are the charms. What is up with that?”

“Wood is your best friend for earth potions. Wood is able to store potions, then you can use your blood to evoke them. You are going to want to get some ceramic spoons. That way you do not mix potions, because if you mix potions, you could blow your house up.”

“What about the silver rings that you have on?”

“Silver holds ley line charms in them. Ley lines are different in the fact that they store for a longer time. Normally, earth charms can last around a week in-between invoking them. Your blood is what fuels the spell. The rest you can learn in school like normal people.”

“You did not learn in school. And what is up with only one potion and one ley spell in this book?”

I took it and showed her the book was completely full, “It will show you potions and spells that you are ready for. How many potions or ley line spells you get depends on your strength in both.”

“So I was talking to my parents and got permission to come over tomorrow and keep you company while you wait for your blessing. I do not have to go to school tomorrow since I went today.”

“That would be nice. I could more than likely get my dad to take you to get a real grimoire for you. They hold a lot more spells and will be linked to you as well. It is a big step for you. Only magic users can enter the store. There is only one store for them, but there are portals all over that lead to the store in almost every mall .”

“Who runs the store?”

“The coven, they will test you as well to give you an idea of where your level is. If I still have my powers tomorrow I will become a witch, since I have mastered more than the needed amount of spells to get that rank.”

“What will I be?”

“A wizard, to start. They will tell you if you will become a witch at some point or not. Well I need to get some sleep so let's see if your blood can activate the transportation circle.”

I grab a diabetic lance from my desk, “Get yourself one of these. You can use this though, since it has a new needle. Prick your finger, think of where you want to go, and get three drops to drop in the circle.”

“What if my blood does not work or is just a little too weak?”

“It will do nothing. This is completely safe.”

She did as I asked and disappeared.

I went to my desk cutting my palm and got at least three drops in my sleeping potion. Changed into my sleeping clothes I sat on the bed and drank the potion. I placed the cup on the bedside table and fell into a deep sleep.
