Christina took a few minutes to try and comprehend that this was really happening. Gazing at her reflection in the water she was finally able to see for herself what she already new. She was a toad. A greenish, brown plump little amphibian. Apparently she was not the only former person here who had been transformed into a lesser species. In fact, the other toad she had been placed arrived with here seemed to have been an ex human too. Perhaps she would be able to communicate with them. They might have some idea how to break the curse - after all, there was no way she was going to just spend the rest of her life as an overgrown frog.
Before she had time to think this through any further, her attention was drawn too a huge great beast rapidly approaching her. In her mind she knew it was just a regular heron - but a heron represented something much different to her now and she realised it could gobble her down in a flash. Quickly and instinctively, Christina leaped off as fast as she could. This was the first time she jumped as a toad and the power in her new legs and the comparative distance they were able to quickly propel her body were quite a sensation. In less hazardous circumstances, this would actually have been pretty cool.
Fortunately for Christina, the heron did not follow her but her somewhat larger and juicier companion who had jumped off in the opposite direction. Out of danger, for now at least, Christina sat in a large patch of grass at the side of the water which seemed to mostly camouflage her. Her relief was short lived though. Did the other toad escape? She should probably try and find him, not only to ensure his safety but to try and find out what had happened to her and who the strange woman who had cursed them both was.
On the other hand, she had quickly realised that this current way of life was more dangerous than working in an office, and it might be worth getting used to her surroundings for now in order to ensure her own log term survival. She thought about what she might do for a few moments.
