   Lean, powerful, beautiful, young. Shadowplay was at the height of her youthful strength. She was just reaching her second year of life. Glossy ebony fur gleamed in the moonlight, the ice-colored stripe that ran from nose to tailtip turning silver. Three teal stripes cut her muzzle, and three paws were dipped in the same color. Her left forepaw was white. Striking emerald eyes watched the meadow she stood in, lit only by the half-moon. All was peacful.
   Or so it seemed.
   A shadow flitted amongst the fringe of trees. Shadowplay's head whipped around just in time to see nothing. It's just your eyes playing tricks on you. She told herself. She turned full around as a snap reached her ears. She rose to her paws, wary now. A snarl, and wham! Shadowplay was on the ground. Her right shoulder hurt terrifically. She could feel the muscule had torn; her paw had stayed purcased against the foliage while the rest of her body weight was thrust violently on her right legs.
   But that wasn't the worst pain. Something sharp punctured her throat, searing her flesh. She felt like she was being dehydrated. The sight in her still-open eyes shimmered around the edges and went black, then suddenly, a clash like thunder wrenched the firey daggers from her jugular, stopping the draining sensation. Horrific howls and unworldly screams tore the fragile night wide open, and as soon as it all started, all was still.
   The fire started spreading, rushing furiously down her neck and up her muzzle. On the outside, Shadowplay was changing. Her jaw ached as her canines lengthened, and she started to writhe amidst the pain. The blue melted from the stripe along her spine, being replaced by a deep, wine red that dyed her black ears and green irises. The teal of the stripes on her muzzle leeched out, leaving silver in it's wake. Two collars of silver ran around her neck, leaving the burgandy stripe untouched, and five silver bands cut up the black under her tail. Her teal paws turned red, and the color spread halfway up her legs ending in spikes. That one white paw darkened to silver.
   The she-wolf's tourtured howl rended the air as she arced her spine against the last brutal flash of pain. Black, garnet-boned bat wings exploded from her shoulders and the female's voice broke as she shrieked. Her voice gone, she laid still as her smoldering body cooled and her wild heart stopped completely. Shadowplay's throat burned with a dull fire now.
What had she become?
Just a little thing on the turning of my vampire wolf, Shadowplay <3 No, she doesn't sparkle XD
