familiar.

Matt watched anxiously, his little heart pounding in his chest. He hoped that this worked. He needed to tell her what was wrong. He needed to tell her that he had been cursed, and why he had been cursed. Maybe she would understand and help him. But he was afraid to tell her what he needed to do in order to break the curse. He didn't want to scare her off.

Savy looked at Shadows once the cloud of smoke disappeared. "Alright," she mumbled. "Try to tell me something," she stated. She thought of something for him to answer and grinned when she thought of a question. "Do you like the name Shadows?"

"Yes," Matt said, grinning when he heard his own voice.

Savy's eyes widened, extremely shocked the spell had actually worked. "Why were you freaking out earlier during the movie?"

"I was trying to tell you that that happened to me," Matt said. "I was cursed like the boy was."

"What," Savy mumbled. "You mean you're actually human?"

Matt nodded slightly. "Yeah," he said. "I've been a cat for 100 years."

"What," Savy mumbled, again. "Are you the guy in my book of Shadows?"

"Yes," Matt said. "That's me." He sighed, looking down before he looked back up at her. "I was cursed by a warlock because I fell in love with his daughter. He didn't think I was good enough for her." He stopped for a moment as all the memories came flooding back. "We were going to have a baby. We didn't plan it, it just happened. When he found out, he killed her and he cursed me. He wanted to punish me for taking away his daughter's innocence."

"How do we break the curse," Savy asked.

Matt stared at her for a minute, deciding not to tell her. "There's a full moon coming up on the 100th year anniversary," he said. "I'll be able to turn into a human when the full moon is at it's highest point and I have until the sun rises to figure out how."

Savy looked at the cat, wondering if he was only half telling her what needed to happen. "He never told you how to break the curse," she asked. "Most warlocks will write the cure for the curse into the spell."

Matt shook his head. "He really wanted me to suffer," he said. "But maybe we could figure it out. We can decode the spell."

"Do you remember the spell," Savy asked. "The curse isn't in my book."

Matt thought back, frowning. "It's been so long," he said. "Do you have a piece of paper?"

Savy grabbed a blank piece of notebook paper and a pencil, setting them in front of Shadows.

Matt began to recite the spell to the best of his knowledge.

Savy wrote the spell down, reading over it once Shadows finished saying it. "What's your actual name," she asked.

"Matthew Sanders," Matt said.

Savy looked up at Matt, recognizing the name from another entry in the book of shadows. She began flipping though the book, finding the entry she needed. "Love," she mumbled. "You need someone to fall in love with you to break the curse."
