How can this happen? I'm a Hydra?! They aren't even supposed to exist!

"Jake? Is everything alright sweetie?" asked a voice.

The doorknob began to turn and it slightly opened.

Oh no!

My mom entered my room dressed in her nightgown. She took one look and screamed.

"Mom wait! It's me Jake!" I tried to say, but it came out as a growl. My mom freaked out and ran out the door. I heard her fumble for something in the hallway and I heard her ran back in. She was holding the replica of a Samuri sword my dad bought.

I thought she said that was too dangerous for a decoration...

My mom held it upright and slowly approached me. "T-Tell m-me w-where my J-Jake is!" she stammered.

"Mom" I said but a growl came up again. She ran forward and swung the sword. My right head was sliced clean off. I screeched in pain as I turned. My mom sliced off my left head, and I collapsed from the pain. All that left was my center head. I glanced up and saw the edge of the blade near my face. It was shaking in my mothers hands.

"L-L-Last warning b-beast" she stammered. "W-Where is m-my J-Jake...?"

I tried to say something but a low growl escaped my lips. She raised the sword up, but stopped and dropped it. I felt a tingling where my other heads used to be. I saw my old head disintegrating. I no longer felt the pain and stood up. I turned my head to see that four new heads were growing in place. I changed from a three-headed hydra to a five-headed hydra. My mother screamed and ran out the door.
