Sleep-Morphing

Sleep-Morphing
Danny Trejo TF/Vampirism theme.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We all have someone who watches over us and protects us from evil,   that someone is often referred to a 'guardian angel' sometimes they may in fact be an actual angel or something akin to one.    Nathan has several,  but his include Christopher Walken and Danny Trejo..now they may seem like unlikely choices for guardians because they are known for playing evil characters but seeing as his dream self is a vampire...it's only fitting.    When all else fails, he turns to these two for advice and help on his journeys.

Although surprisingly, the more time he would spend with either of them,  the more he started taking after them both mentally and physically -  it's just one of many side-effects of being a shapeshifter.    As well as sleep-morphing.  Sleep-morphing is when the shifter in general morphs involuntarily while they are asleep,  often while dreaming of assuming another form of some kind.

It is often quite rare,  but  Nathan experienced it a couple of times...and both of which were by accident.   And this was one of them,  it was on one of his full moon nights and it seemed that it was one that he had forgotten about.  "How could I have missed that?" He would often think to himself when occasions like that occurred.

This happened right after he had a vampire movie marathon,  he had been watching all 3 From Dusk Till Dawn movies before he closed his computer down and went to bed,   it was right after that he started having those vampire dreams in which he was in the very first movie as one of the vampires.   Sometimes he would be Sex Machine and sometimes he would be Razor Charlie.

His vampire dream had just about ended,   when he started going through another transformation,   but since he was asleep - he oddly didn't notice it.   But he could feel it happening,   maybe it was because of the moonlight shining through the window,  but he could feel bloodlust,  adrenalin and fury rushing through his veins.

He breathed and panted heavily,  almost growling in some way as his purple nightshirt slowly began to tighten and strain,  with each breath he could feel his muscles starting to expand starting with his torso and chest,  as pecs and abs slowly developed and became more prominent.   His nightshirt was slowly straining even more due to the increasing bulk,  the buttons were puckering off one by one and the material was starting to rapidly tear apart.

Switching over to his stomach only made the straining of his nightshirt increase even more, as his back also slowly expanded and gained muscle mass along with his shoulders,  he panted several more times as his nightshirt slowly tore apart to reveal his developing muscles,  with his sleeves ripping off last.     He put his arms underneath the covers as he switched back to lying on his back,  but that didn't stop his arms from following suit as they slowly expanded,  bulked up and gained muscle mass,   his hands also swelling and growing larger as his signature 'monster gloves'  slowly unraveled and tore apart.

He grunted a few more times as the changes progressed even further,   as his skintone slowly deepened and darkened a little as it became gruffer and rougher,   very heavily linned and adorned with scars and tattoos.  On his chest and torso,  the image of a woman wearing a sombrero was burned onto it -  making it the most recognizable of all the tattoos he was now sporting.    His legs were also becoming leaner and more muscular to go with his arms, as his slippersocks peeled off.

In the process his nightpants slowly morphed into a pair of black western style pants with the matching belt and buckle to match,   of course he remained roughly the same height as always but his shoulders expanded to gain muscle mass.    Letting out another grunt,  he sighed as the transformation progressed further.  

Even though he was asleep,  he could tell that he was changing and he could feel the changes happening,   yet he oddly didn't mind it -    all that bloodlust and fury flowing through his veins was already kicking in.   He let out another grunt/growl as his neckline altered and gained a bit of muscle as well.

His hair slowly extended and lengthened until it was at shoulder-length,  in the process it first darkened in color to a darker shade of brown,  then it developed black streeks,  and then it turned completely black.   His forehead and brow altered to become more pronounced,  as his eyebrows thinned out a little and darkened to match his hair,    instinctively his eyes opened as they darkened and narrowed a bit.

The voices of his friends Scott and Paulie could be heard from the room next to his,  both of them were getting the feeling that there was something odd going on in his room,   like they felt that judging by the panting and growling that there was some kind of monster attack even though there hadn't been any monster sightings for a week.

"What's going on in there Scott?"

"Gee I don't know...sounds like Nathan's trying to fight some kind of monster."

"But how could a monster get inside?  The windows and doors are closed."

"Maybe the monster can turn into mist or smoke.."

"Paulie,   that would have been to a vampire if it could do that."

"You might never know,   come on - let's go!"

Meanwhile in the bedroom,   his transformation was already progressing at a very steady pace,   and he was looking less and less like himself,   his facial features were slowly altering to become more grizzled as scars became evident on his face,   his nose growing a bit bigger in shape as his facial features shifted more -  becoming more rugged as a long,  thin,  black mustache of sorts slowly grew above his lips.

His facial expression slowly contorted itself into a pseudo snarl as his features finished morphing and reshaping themselves,   now he resembled Danny Trejo more than his normal self.  Breathing and panting several more times as his voice deepened and gruffened, altering and intoning itself with Trejo's signature gruff voice,  accent,  and tone.

Lying on his back and with his arms held in the 'funeral' position,  he felt his mindset shift to become Trejo's mindset as his transformation completed,   where Nathan once slept - was now Danny Trejo.   Trejo closed his eyes and resumed sleeping,  growling a little in his sleep, which alerted Scott and Paulie.

"There's that growling sound again!"

"Do you think you should go in?"

"Sure...after all,   Nathan could be getting attacked in there."

Scott and Paulie hurried over into Nathan/Trejo's room to see what was going on,  but when they saw the sight of Trejo sleeping on what appeared to be Nathan's bed,   Scott was met with shock.

"Paulie!"

"What is it Scott?"

"Bed Trejo is Sleeping on Nathan's Danny."

"What?"

"Danny Trejo is sleeping on Nathan's bed!"

"What?  No way!"

He pointed to the bed where Nathan normally was,  to where Trejo was sleeping and hugging Oats the TY Beanie buddy horse while growling softly to himself.    Paulie couldn't believe his eyes,   it was Trejo alright -  he could tell by the tattoo of a woman wearing a sombrero that was on his chest.

"Aaaaw...look at him!  He looks so peaceful."

"A peaceful Danny Trejo is STILL Danny Trejo,  so be careful."

Scott crept up to the bed and tugged at the sheets a little before tapping Trejo on the shoulder,    suddenly -   Trejo awoke with a ferocious snarl as his eyes turned a demonic shade of yellow and his teeth sharpened with his canines extending to resemble vampiric fangs as his fingernails sharpened to become akin to claws,   in the process his brow became more monstrous looking and vampiric traits and instincts took over.

"Trejo?  You're awake?"

"I am now..."

"But..."

"You were expecting Goldilocks,  maybe?"

"We're sorry Danny...we didn't mean to wake you up."

"You're just in time actually.."

"Just in time for what?"

"I was about to get myself a midnight snack,  and you two look pretty tasty to me...I wonder what your blood tastes like."

"Please don't drink our blood,   it probably would taste horrible."

"You're right,   i'm going to go and find myself some more suitable prey to bite and turn into fellow vamps.   I'm saving you two for later."

The vampiric Danny Trejo jolted up to the bedroom window with inhuman agility and pushed it open with equally inhuman strength,   roaring before stretching for a while and then flying out of the window with his vampire powers to go and hunt for some suitable human victims to bite and convert into fellow vamps.  

As for later,   let's just say Scott and Paulie were lucky enough to actually survive - but both were turned into vampires after Trejo returned a few hours later.   Of course by the time the two of them caught up to him -  Trejo had already made a dash for it and had flown over to the Titty Twister bar to spend the rest of the night with his fellow vampires.

Of course nobody ever did find out about how scientist Nathan Forester not only inexplicably turned into Trejo in his sleep or how he developed vampire powers,   so far the only indication to the latter they found was oozing green blood.   The blood of a vampire.

Trejo actually spent the rest of the night at the Titty Twister bar and waited out the sunrise by hiding in the darkness after dawn arose,   but he didn't morph back to normal -  he just stayed as he was.   He didn't want to go back to being who he was before anyway,   being Trejo was fine enough for him plus...this was just one of many Titty Twister adventures he was sure to have.    After all,   if his vampire dreams had taught him anything...the Titty Twister was basically his new second home.

Sometimes even a shapeshifter who has total control of their powers can succumb to the side-effects of being what they are,   like sleep-morphing for instance.   Although it is quite rare,   it can happen.    Although it's usually different than it is Nathan's case,   again...his changes always are brought on by the moon and also by whatever he's watching.
