Chapter 1
Shanice and Alan had grown close since they had been confronted by Gordon Manfree. They stayed together at almost all times, roaming wherever their enhanced senses took them. It was easy for them to keep away from others by negatively charging themselves and they frequently would spend nights on the beach, sleeping on the sand. A few days after that fateful meeting, Shanice felt like riding Alan again and asked him, though she was always embarrassed to do so.
“Alan, I want to…Can I ride on you as a shark again? Please?”
Alan nodded and they got up from the beach and went into the surf, making sure nobody was around. Shanice watched entranced though she had seen it many times, as Alan’s face elongated and his hands pulled inward, becoming fins as his legs turned into a tail. Soon the transformation was completed and Shanice gripped onto Alan’s rough skin and held tight as he swam out into the ocean. She watched the waves, saw freighters in the distance, and saw flying fish leaping from the water in fear of the great white shark that was near them. Soon Alan’s energy seemed to wane though, and he began to give off more and more negative energy, so much that Shanice felt it and spoke directly into his mind as she rode on his back.
“Alan, what’s wrong?”
“I am thinking about my mission. I have to find the second shifter and see what has happened to him, I would rather not kill him, but if I have to then I will.”
“I thought your mission was to kill him though?”
“That would only be the case if there was nobody else involved, since these humans have captured him it changes things. I do not want to put you in danger without giving you more abilities, and for that we would have to grow closer.”
“What do you mean? I can already charge myself, what more is there?”
“There is much more, but it will happen soon enough. We should go to the facility, or at least near it, we can’t stay here any longer.”
Shanice and Alan set out from the college, leaving everything behind and heading toward the address on the card they received from Manfrees assistant.
At the campus pool, a taxi pulls up and a slender, harsh looking woman gets out. She walks into the pool where practice is being held and begins speaking to coach Maccloud.
“Yes, I’m looking for someone who may have come by here; he was a very good swimmer.”
“Who exactly are ye lookin’ for lassy? We ‘ave a lot of folks ‘ere.”
“You know who I mean, where did he go?”
“Ah don’t know, who are ya anyway?”
The woman’s eyes flashed white for a fraction of a second and Armin Maccloud stopped being tense and defensive, his entire body relaxing.
“Tell me where the boy went.”
“Ah do not know where he went, he left out the back with a woman.”
“Hm, you really don’t know. Alright, move, I’m done with you.”
The tall man stepped to the side and the woman walked past him and out the back door of the pool. She knelt and closed her eyes, focusing all of her abilities into tracking Alan’s signal. She found more than she bargained for, his, another woman’s and one more that she had felt before, that of Gordon Manfree.
“So, he’s been claimed by another woman, that will be fun.
She walked back through the pool and got into the taxi, commanding the driver to head to north, along the same path Alan and Shanice had taken.
Alan and Shanice had been driving for almost an hour, but as their gas ran out they had to pull over and re-think things, since neither of them had any money. Shanice found herself explaining how cars ran on gas as well as re-explaining the concept of money to Alan, whose mind still did not view it as something important enough to be worth remembering.
“So basically the car needs gas to run, sort of like how we need water to live.”
“So is it alive? It does not seem like it is. And does it eat food?”
“No to both, it’s not alive, it’s a machine, and it doesn’t eat food, it just needs gas, which is a liquid that you have to buy with money.”
“And money is the green papers; I recall that much, but no more. They have different things on them, I know that much. Why do you need them to get things though? We could just negatively charge ourselves and take what we needed.”
“Well, we would probably still get caught on camera, plus there are some situations where negatively charging won’t work.”
“Well, if it’s that important then we can go to one of the hidden caves in the sea, there are many of them and most have a large amount of the green papers in them, we keep them there because the papers foul up the water.”
“Ah, I remember you mentioned those before, I forgot that was an option. I think that would be the best thing to do Alan, I don’t want to start stealing or anything.”
“What is stealing?”

Shanice thought for a moment before speaking. “Basically stealing is when you take something from someone else that isn’t yours, I’m sure that exists in the shark world.”
“Well, yes, but it’s not a bad thing. It’s just natural, if something takes what you have, then it was stronger than you, there isn’t anything you can do except be stronger and take it back, defend yourself so that it doesn’t happen at all, or take something from someone that is weaker than you are. Some things I see make me think that it is like that with some people as well. Since your car needs gas, we will have to walk to the ocean from here, which will take some time.”
Shanice parked her car in the lot of a large supermarket and they walked toward the general direction of the coast, following Alan’s senses. As they walked, Alan voiced his worries to Shanice and she asked him further about life as a shifter.
“Shanice, I am worried that Manfree will attempt to capture us by using the second shifter as bait, so part of me wants you to stay safe and out of danger. You are becoming a shifter slowly, but it takes a different amount of time for everyone, and as a female shark you will be far larger and therefore it will take longer. I do not want you to be hurt in any way because of me.”
“Alan, it will be fine, don’t worry so much. I do not want to get in your way; I will be careful and help as much as I can without getting in danger. I want to know more about what will happen to me though, can you tell me what to expect?”
