Unsettling Dreams

When Dolphine woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, she found she changed in her bed into a monstrous parrot. She lay on her back with her claws tangled into the covers. As she tried turn to her side, her colorful, large feathers knocked over the glass of water standing on the bedside table. The mess created on the floor irritated her, and shifted her focus to cleaning it up. The realization of the change in her physical appearance had not yet struck her until she tried to grab her covers with her pointy, sharp beak. Her anxious head looked around, turning from side to side in complete confusion. Still in denial, she closed her eyes and tried to force herself to sleep. After a while of trying to come up with a reasonable explanation, Dolphine with all her strength pushed herself out of the bed only to land on the soaked carpet on the floor. “Great,” she thought as she lay there in the cold wetness of the water. She rolled onto her back so that she was facing the ceiling. Looking up on the brightly shining lamp, she realized that her mom must have been in there relativity recent to turn it on.
-Mom? she shouted in hopes of a response.
-Yes, honey what is it? Now she was unsure of what to do. Did she want her mom to find her in this state, or figure out her own solution of what to do.
-Uh nothing, never mind! she said quickly as she flapped her giant wings in an effort of getting herself up. Finally, with the help of her beak and claws she was up and standing, but maintaining her balance was almost harder than getting up. “This isn’t real,” she thought, “it can’t be.” Suddenly there’s a knock on the door.
-Open up! yells her younger brother.
-Justin, what do you want? she replies, clearly irritated by his disturbance.
-I need to get my stuff that’s in your room. I need them now hurry! At this point she was almost too annoyed to reply. She soon realized that he wouldn’t go away without his toys, and she had to make up a plan of how to give them to him.
-In a minute! she said with panic in her voice. She tried taking steps, but they were unstable and wobbly. Her long claws were becoming an obstacle to her walking, but the room was too small for her to try to fly in. After a while her brother was growing impatient, and had gathered her mom to check on what was happening.
-Dolphine, how is it going, are you alright? she asked with her voice filled with worry.
-Dolphine, how is it going, are you alright? she repeated involuntarily. It was if she said it without control. This only filled her mom with further worry, and caused her to try and open the door.
-Honey, just unlock the door so I can come in and check on you, her mom said, please?
-Please, Dolphine said in a squawking voice, and with a little hesitation her mom left.
Dolphine sighed with relief, and continued to explore her new appearance. She took a few steps around, and as she goes to turn around the door flew open and her mom was standing there with her eyes fixed on the green feathers which cover the wings. The image had caused her brother to scream, while the mom just stood there motionless. None of them made a sound. For a solid three minutes it was completely quiet, with only the sobs of her younger brother.Dolphine tried to utter a few words, but the only sound to come out was a squawk. Her mom covered her mouth with her hand, and immediately took her brother to the living room. Now Dolphine was alone again, trapped between the four walls of her room. All she could do was to stand there, waiting for someone to wake her up from what she thought was a dream.
