Infection: Cylogriffon TF

Snow falling from the sky. Hoodie up. It's winter again.

The icy crystals came down on the 14-year-old boy Cole as he shivered all the way home to his apartment in New Jersey. The wind was picking up, and he knew a blizzard was soon to come.

By now Cole couldn't see almost at all in the blizzard. The frozen flakes hitting his face in every step. But then a noise came from an alley ahead. Cole didn't hear it, but he felt it. "Jeez... the snow keeps coming down har-"

And his unconsious body was gone into the night.

-O-

Cole woke with a pain on the back of his head. He realized he was in a sitting position. Cuffs of leather linking his arms and legs to the old, mahogany chair. Then a voice played from an unknown place. "Hello. I know you, but you may not know me. I have come to give you something.

There was a gas spraying from the air vent.

"I invite you to join us in a new... species." The air starting to fill Cole's lungs. "Don't fret, young boy. This won't hurt a bit," in a sarcastic tone the voice announced. "What you are breathing in is a 'special' DNA I... found. What you are subjected to is a device that will implant a virus and infect your whole body, making the special surpise come to life."

A rather large needle implanted itself into Cole's arm. The infection spread through his body, preparing him for the pain. A minute passed. Then the effects took place.

A large crack could be heard from Cole's leg as it broke to reform. Struggling to flee, Cole failed and accelerated the process. By now a pattern of dark brown fur with spiraling golden streaks had begun on his left leg. The foot extended with loud cracks and pops as Cole's once foot now resembled a wolf's paw. The same effect took place on his right leg, now leaving him with two canine paws.

His hips altered and cracked, but do to the position he was in, could not reform into quadruped leg bones and instead stayed human. His tailbone shifted and cracked as Cole gritted his teeth. the bone extended, ripped his pants seam and pushed out into a long, bushy tail. Just like a wolf's.

Now the leather cuffs seemed to undo himself, and the boy flew out of the seat. He felt that his wait was shifted slightly forwardso he leaned on the chair for support. A new golden streak of fur appeared on his back and his stomach being covered by the same fur. The brwon fur filled in where the gold did not, and now reached his ribcage.

Then something strange happened.

-
Cole could see the fur growing up his chest, but was confused when he saw a golden feather grow. He now knew what he was becoming.
Cole's school forced him to take a cryptozoology symester, making him learn about all the creatures. One of then fit the description perfectly. A cylogriffon. Half wolf half eagle. The lion half was replaced by a wolf, giving him his favorite magical creature.
-

The pattern of the fur continued, just now with feathers. Cole's lower arms felt itchy, and kept getting itchier until the familiar yellow scales broke through the skin. His hand were engulfed by the sea of yellow scales that were growing. As the scales touched his fingernails, Cole couldn't help but crack a pain-filled smile as he saw his nails reforn into long black daggerlike talons.

His back was now aflame as two nubs sprouted out. They quickly ripped two holes in his sweatshirt as they grew from nubs to wings. They lengthened to a wingspan of 14 feet, then started two grow longer feathers. They grew to a large size perfect for flight. Now there was an anthromorphic cylogriffon with a human head.
Guess what happens next.

The feathers started to replace his soft brown hair with brown feathers, and a gold streak going rom the tip of his tail to his forehead. Cole felt his lips harden as the pushed out from his face into a golden beak, matching his golden streaks.But his teeth remained in beak, without fusing. His nose slid on top of his beak, leaving him with two holes for nosrtrils. His eyes filled with pain as they fixed to his new body. But one thing was odd. While his eye was adjusting, the coloring of his eye inverted, leaving Cole with one hazel eye and one reverse-hazel eye.

"I told you it would be a special surprise," the mysterious voice said. "I say you should fly to the Rocky Mountains with those wings. You could live peacefully there with the other griffins."

The End.
