Phantom limbs

                                    

                                          
Surprise. Here's a surprise chapter. Hehe, next one is so fun. Hehe. I'm having so much fun. This also kinda preview as this one is stupidly long.

Lloyd looks up at the ceiling as he sat up, and then squints as a feeling on his head moving. 
(Is that?) He feels his bedhead and whines as nothing comes into his hand. He feels them moving down and gets up, to then feel something else. He peers at his back, but nothing again? 
"What the fuck?" He tries touching the feeling on his head, and soon yanks his hair in an attempt. 
"Dammit!" He goes to the group bathroom and tries looking but finds nothing moving. Just a blonde boy faces him back. 
"Am I going insane?" He mutters and leaves to see everyone else sleeping still. The feeling lowers on his head again and the other one curls against him. 
"Go away." He closes his eyes but the feeling of something on his head and back are still there! He then leaves, holding the wall as the thing on his back is making him walk funny. 
"Is this what it feels like to have a tail in human form?" He wonders as he opens Wu's door. 
"Answers?" He nervously smiles and goes through the scrolls again. 
"Nothing!" He threw the scroll away from himself. 
*ZZzz* Lloyd's annoying nonphysical ears move to it. 
"I'm gonna get a saw soon if these don't stop moving." They move downwards and to the sound of creaking. The footsteps were not very loud, but Lloyd looked at the door closing and then at Jay. Jay then sat by him. 
"I saw you walking in here." Lloyd's ears moved and the teen grabbed them, or well attempted. 
"This is fucking dumb!" Jay gave the boy a knowing smile. 
"Phantom limbs?" Lloyd looks at him. 
"Uhh, is that what it's called when you feel it there?" Jay nods and smiles widely, even leaning in more. Lloyd glares. 
"It's inconvenient, like you're sitting in class and feel your ears lower when you're told a test is occurring that day, or when walking and suddenly you feel like your tail is there." Lloyd blinks. 
"How do you make them go away?" Jay shrugged. 
"I just let it occur, it's normal... .I think Cole said it happened to him when he first changed form and Kai I bet it happened to him, Zane, I have no idea how that works, and Nya mentioned it once when we were sharing a dream...." Jay's eyes widened. 
"Did you change form?" Lloyd shook his head. 
"I can feel, but I can't... .it's annoying." 
"Yeah, I felt that before I changed for a while, I even growled at Dareth once, hehe... .I then learned of this thing called Therian culture and it helped me when I couldn't change form... .free roam without shifting." Jay says and Lloyd honestly just nods, not knowing anything of what Jay was saying. 
"Wanna try it, I know you have a phone, it's just some music, but should help the sensations." Lloyd looks at the dumped scroll. 
"Ok?" He then followed Jay and handed the teen his phone, and Jay began to tap something into a video app. He then sits down and Lloyd listens as Jay sits back. 
_____________
A couple of hours of listening Lloyd smiles a little and feels his new invisible limbs starting to move along with the rhythm. He then looks to his side as Jay's sleeping form and shrugs. 
(Guess I just follow... .free roam does sound interesting) Lloyd closes his eyes and just listens as suddenly he opens his eyes again, and hears Jay singing. Lloyd looks over and sees Jay pause his singing. He looks at Lloyd and Lloyd looks at the electric-looking figure. 
"That actually worked." Jay says and changes shape to a wolf one. 
"I never saw another person while doing this, except one time with the rabbits and Nya... .She didn't stay long." Lloyd looks down at himself and steps back. 
"Do you do this often?" Jay nods and starts running right through a wall. 
"Are we dead?" 
"No, just in free roam!" Lloyd blinks and follows Jay through the wall and then looks up at the floating wolf. 
"You can do anything when you're like this!" Jay smiles and does a whole flip in the air. Lloyd tries mimicking him, but can't float. 
"It takes time to do that, sadly, that's only possible here... .but I'm just amazed! Finally someone who can enter the electrons like me!" Lloyd grins and follows Jay some more, getting to the city. So many lights and people as they walk by. Jay grins. 
"Wanna see something cool?" Lloyd nods and Jay places his hand onto a light pole, and soon it's out. 
"Woah." 
"Try it." Lloyd nods and goes to the one nearby and places his hands, and sees the light start to get bright, along with the whole row of lights. 
*Shatter* 
Lloyd removes his hand and watches as people scurry. Jay looks at Lloyd and soon takes him near the woods by the Monastery. 
"How do you change form like this?" Lloyd asks as Jay was just jumping around on roots. 
"Well, I focus and listen." Lloyd blinks. 
"Can't you still hear the music?" Lloyd shakes his head. 
"Hmmm?" Jay looks around, then at the rising sun. 
"Jay!" Jay's form starts zapping frantically and Lloyd watches as Jay vanishes into a ball of lightning. 
"What was that-"
"Lloyd!" Lloyd frowns as suddenly his eyes shoot open. Kai was facing him. 
"What the fuck happened to you?" Kai asks and Lloyd wakes up his limbs and soon feels those phantom limbs again. 
"They're still there!" He tells Jay and Jay looks at everyone. 
"What's still there, Lloyd?" Kai asks and Lloyd stares at him. 
"These stupid phantom limbs!" Kai and Cole share a glance and then look at Jay pausing the music. 
"I was trying to help, you know I have those all the time." Cole looks back to Lloyd. 
"Guess somebody's gonna turn soon." He smiles and Lloyd just glares. 
"Can that happen then! .I hate just feeling like this!" Kai looks down at the kid. 
"Kinda can't force it, Lloyd." Lloyd's ears fall as he groans. Cole looks to the others. 
"What about we tell tales about our first times, again?" Zane suggests and Cole eyes him. 
"I'm up for it." Jay smiles. 
"Jay, you're always up for it." Cole says and crosses his arms. 
"I never really heard a story about a first shift besides from my dad's, I kinda wanna hear this." Lloyd admits and Kai sighs. 
"Alright, just don't ask Nya, she literally just woke up in hers." 
"Nya is currently in the city." 
"How long was I in a trance?" Jay whispers to himself and everyone heads to the kitchen, where Zane cooked breakfast. 
"So who's first?" Jay raises his hand, and Cole looks at him. 
"Fine, just so we get through the hour long speaking." Jay leers at Kai, and Jay begins.

First shifts. Haven't I told those before? Well, no, not fully... .plus this is for fun. So let me have fun with the actual stories behind those. So far the warnings are being mild violence caused by Dareth. Can't wait to show a fight between Cole and his dad, and then a week before the pilot for Kai. (Definitely not doing this because I noticed how nobody really read the pilot, and how much i screwed that up it needs more context) yeah Definitely not. But next chapter is good, trust me.
