her hair began to recede. He stares at her head in wonder. Pretty soon, she was completely bald. He had never seen his mother bald! That didn't last long however, as blue feathers began sprouting all around her head. They quickly overtake her ears, which seem the melt away under the feathers, before the feathers themselves reorganize into a more streamlined pattern, leaving just enough space for earholes. As the feathers sprout along her face, they turn white and her clenched eyes and mouth begin to alter as well. Chris watches silently as Tanya's nose and mouth begin to push outward. At the same time her entire head shape begins to change. Each passing second, her head gets closer to the familiar shape of a blue jay. When her lower lip and nose touch, they extend another inch in front of her face and quickly round out and harden. Her nostrils go to side as her beak finishes forming. Chris notices how it's black at the tip, but still skin colored at the edge and of her face.
Her clothes started to become bigger on her as feathers swarmed her body, her arms bulking and distending as blue, black and white feathers grow from them. Her hands morphed and misshaped, becoming part of them now as her arms became wings. Her clothes began to slump off her body now, and she kicked and squirmed, allowing some to come off. Her pants and shoes fell away, revealing that her feet were darkening. Toes had become spindly, twiggy things with talons and black scales. T he scales continued up her now stiff legs ending just above the hips with more feathers. Tailfeathers spread from Tanya's behind as she continued to shrink, staring in horror at her body with her bright, birds eyes.
Chris stared now. Where his sister had been now stood a little blue jay.
