I sat there watching the transformation reverse itself, a smile on my face. After a minute or so, Miss Parks stood up again, wearing the tattered remnants of her outfit. She stared at me, a look of pure confusion on her face.
"That's never happened before...normally, I'm ravenous, and I don't change back until I taste flesh. But you...with simply a phrase..." she trailed off, staring intently at me,"Who....WHAT are you?"
I smiled at her, a grin wider than I'd smiled before," I'm the director, baby. And you're my star."
"What are you talking about?" she asked, sounding a bit offended.
"They say that all the world's a stage, right? Well, that's how the expression goes, anyway. But in MY world, all of it's a giant movie set, and we're constantly filming. You're part of the new revolution. The new movie starts filming tomorrow, and you oughtta get some rest." I was feeling cool, so very fucking cool and powerful. Nothing could bring me down.
"What...what movie?" She asked, shaking her head in confusion.
"My movie, babe...I'm thinking of calling it 'Wolfpack: The Inception'. Guess who the alpha female's gonna be?" I asked her, standing up, stroking her face.
She smiled back, this time seeming to enjoy it all, "Mmm.." she cooed, "Sounds like fun."
"Oh, it will be, " I assured her, " for the both of us. Now you ought to get some sleep. You've got school to teach in the morning."
I left her there, giving her a lingering kiss, enjoying it all. I couldn't help but be feeling a bit power-mad, seeing how useful the ring was. As I walked home, I decided to make a slight detour, not feeling tired in the least.
