Cyberbully Monster

I smiled, chatting with some buddies on Animal Jam. At the same time, I had the live chat window open for AJ Stories Wiki. On the AJ Stories Wiki live chat, I was chatting with FoxStray and 13Dragon. On Animal Jam, I was talking to 24pinkbunny (one of my beloved real Animal Jam friends) and some other random people at her den. Things were going well for 10 minutes or so, but then I opened up the AJ Stories live chat window.

Salamander310 had joined.

''What?! ''I thought. I thought Salamander was dead!

I excused myself from Animal Jam and logged out of it, concentrating on the phenomenon that was happening on the live chat. 13Dragon was absolutely confused - he knew his brother had commited suicide, and his brother used the account Salamander310. FoxStray was going absolutely nanners, shouting things like, "WTF?!?!," "This is unreal!," and, "How's this even possible?" I completely felt the same as FoxStray, but I silently kept to myself. Slowly, TechSaur, WolfyPearl and some other random users piled into the chat, curious why Salamander came back after quite a long absence. He remained silent, not even chatting a single word. Other users were spamming confused sentences, unsure why the one - Salamander - was here. Then, I slowly typed in these words.

''I am a cyberbully; a monster. I caused Salamander to kill himself.''

I hit the enter button, and Salamander left. Shortly after, I felt a weird tingling sensation in my body, as if I was being slowly vaporized. Turning my head to face my bottom, I saw something that I wished never came to be.

I had grown a purple wolf tail!

I screamed in horror, and my parents came into the room, wondering why I had released such a bloodcurdling scream. They screamed as soon as they saw me, and I looked down at my arms.

I had turned into a full-blown real replica of my wolf avatar, and I was witnessing my own front legs.

Mom scrambled to get the phone and call animal control, while my dad was taking pictures of my mortified face for proof as I was howling in horror. Then, I fell unconsious. When I came to, I was on a darkened street with a bright entity, of which I presumed to be Salamander's soul. He silently whispered into my ear these very words.

''Thank you for confessing to the world. You will live here now.''

I (very awkwardly) replied, "But how? I've just turned into a new form, and even the simple tasks of speaking and walking will feel weird for me!"

Salamander gently replied back, ''It will be ok. I'll give you a hint to where you'll be living from now on, and where you are: This is a place familiar, yet you don't know well. The neighbors might be a little weird, but they'll be your friends forever.''

I scratched my furry head, knowing this was some kind of riddle. I felt Salamander gently pick me up and place me onto the sidewalk, which probably was for the better as the street was more dangerous for animals lying flat on the ashphalt. My eyes fluttered shut again, and the last thing I was thinking was, Maybe I'm not so much of a monster after all.

Meanwhile, in the real world...

NEWS FLASH!

A child has been seen in a casual family home who turned into a wolf. The animal control has been shown photos of a purple-pelted golden-eyed wolf, presumed to be the child. The parents are especially worried about this, as nothing like this has ever happened before. Even paranormal activity isn't to blame, as the area isn't known for ghost hauntings. So the question is, ''Who or what is to blame? Maybe magic after all exists in this world. Maybe scientific calculations of magic never able to exist were wrong. But until we have an answer, it shall remain a mystery.''
