My Egyptian Gift

As the days passed, I couldn’t resist experimenting with my newfound ability. Turning into a
cat was exhilarating. The world became a vast playground, a ball of yarn in my paws. I even found
that my sense of smell and hearing were heightened, making me hyperaware of everything around
me. What started off as a surprising accident quickly turned into an incredible feat. The best part? No
one suspected a thing.

At night, I roamed the city undetected. As a human, the streets were just an endless maze of
buildings, but as a cat, it was a whole new world. I scaled fences with ease, squeezed through gaps,
and even made a few feline friends in the alley behind my apartment. I met an old tabby named Gus
who seemed to rule the local cat gang, and a mischievous calico who tried to steal a fish from a
street vendor. It was thrilling to be part of their secret world, even if only for a little while. Switching
back and forth between forms had become second nature—I could change at will, effortlessly
slipping between my human and feline selves.

But it wasn’t all fun and games. One night, as I leaped across rooftops, I heard a sudden
scream echo from the alley below. My fur bristled. Peering over the edge, I saw a shadowy figure
cornering someone—someone I recognized. My younger sister.

Panic surged through me. I had always kept my two lives separate, but now they were
colliding in the worst way possible. Without thinking, I jumped down, shifting mid-air. I landed in my
human form, stumbling slightly but standing tall between the attacker and my sister. “Get lost,” I
growled, my voice steadier than I felt.

The figure lunged at me, and it was only instinct from there. In a flash, I transformed back
into a cat, darting between his legs, tripping him. As he fell, I shifted again, grabbing my sister’s hand
and pulling her away. We ran, forcing our legs to move as my heart pounded in my chest. I could hear
the attacker scrambling behind us, but as we reached a busy street, he vanished into the shadows.

Breathless, my sister turned to me, eyes wide with shock. “What... what just happened?” I
swallowed down the lump in my throat. The secret I had protected for so long was out, and to my
sister of all people. That night, as I lay in bed staring at the ceiling, I recalled the events of that day. I
knew my life had changed forever. My sister knew, and soon, my family would too. I had always
feared what would happen if the truth came out—but maybe, just maybe, I wouldn’t have to face it
alone.
