Kendra's recovery from her transformation was interrupted.
"Kendra?"
Kendra's new feline years shot up at the sound of her name. She was naked and had a tail and now there was someone else in the locker room who knew she was in there. Her carelessness today appeared to be catching up to her big time.
"Kendra, are you in here?" the voice repeated.
That voice sounded familiar.
"Are you okay?"
The third time Kendra knew who it was. And that was good and bad news.
She took a deep breath and announced "I'm okay, Eddie." After a moment she added "Why are you in the girl's locker room?"
"I'm pretty sure we're the only two people in here. I came looking for you after last class let out. Sarah said you left class in a hurry not feeling well and one of my friends saw you heading toward the gym so I figured where else could you be?"
"Thanks for checking on me, but I'm okay."
"Then why are you hiding in a shower stall?"
Kendra saw Eddie's shadow on the shower curtain. He'd found her. She tried to think of an excuse, something she could say that would make him go away. She really liked Eddie and they'd been dating semi-seriously for more than a month, but she had hidden her werecat secret from him until now. Maybe now was the time to reveal to Eddie the truth?
