"Maybe just do a few things i'll do you, if your lucky enough to last." James smirked before Becky could react to what James had in mind. Becky looked petrified as her head started to itch, but she didn't see any visible changes on her at first that soon her body on certain parts (like her hands, feet, ect.) began to itch too. However, a second later is when she caught a slight glimpse at her hands from the corner of her eye that Becky reached her hands up to see, but only to find her hands were not human as they were more like paws. Horrified, she ran to find a mirror that when she found one of a full length mirror is when Becky gaped at what she saw of herself.
looking back at the mirror as Becky had paws of a raccoon for hands, a head of a grey wolf with deer antlers, feet of a bear, a lion mane around her neck, even a kangaroo pouch over her stomach that she even had tail of a cute fluffy rabbit when she turn around to look at her rear. she was like a chimera with different animal parts that it made her scared, and yet angry at the same time.
"You gave me...these animal parts?!" Becky yelped that she then stomped towards James, but wobbled a bit as she wasn't used to walking on bear feet. before she could say or do anything However is when Becky heard an extremely soft whisper, coming from James.
"Hang in there Becky. just hang on." James whispered as he barely breathed a warning to her. he then grabbed an unwitting Becky and pulled her down on top of her, to make it look like James had pinned Becky to the ground.
"Why did you do that for James?!" Becky gasped before she could gather her thoughts. Giving Becky a sharp look that James turned his head to the side.
"Because you need to know this." he said loudly. "I'm the one who's in charge now, so you better start being respectful for now on if I were you!" Becky stared at him with her yellow eyes as he turned back to her, but she didn't expect on what happened next. just as soft as the voice was when he'd just used before is when he grabbed her, and without moving his lips is when James whispered. "Sorry about this, but isn't it pretty obvious on why he's doing this to us? it's because he wants one of us to start pushing the other around. why don't we work together to figure out a way to get out of here while giving him a good show In the meantime? But we have to be careful on what we say or do, he might be listening in on us, maybe even watching us." Suddenly, Becky realized why James had given her a few animal parts.
"I still can't believe you would be such a jerk!" Becky yelled, then mouthed, "What do I do? but on the other hand, what can I do?"
"Just continue to try me, see what you'll end up as!" James reported aloud as he then whispered. "Think of it this way, I can change you into something so you can explore the place and find us a way out of here. I should warn you though, that crazy old man maybe a magician, but he did say he could take the magic away at any time if he wanted to end it. he also said that he never promised to return us back to our human forms if he let us go... so it's possible you could get stuck as something else if we run away now..."
James' shoulders sagged, but finally he got up off of Becky and stood up, backing away a bit. Becky rose to her feet as well, trying her best to look arrogant and condescending, but sending James questioning looks with her wolf eyes.
"Fine, I'll go along with you, but don't think you'll get away with this!" Becky growled, but gave James a slight nod to show that she agreed on what she was getting herself into.
"what a good girl you are, and a Smart decision too." James sneered while scratching behind Becky's right wolf ear. he then waved his hand that Becky felt her animal parts started to retract and shrink away, till she was back to normal as James continued to speak. "now, Just to show you that I can be magnanimous for as long as you behave yourself, I'll let you choose the next thing you get turned into. how's that for yeah?" Becky started, realizing what James was getting at that Becky started to desperately racked her brains for some type of idea change. A change that would help her to find a way out, but hopefully the one which wouldn't get herself killed if she got stuck in the form she was in.
"Um, okay. just give me a sec." Becky thought for a while as she really didn't want to do this, but agreed with her new friend that it was the only hope of escaping from the mad magician. her first thought was to become something big and powerful like a white tiger, but she couldn't see how brute strength could help her right now anyways. A creature with wings was quite tempting as it might even be fun, but then again, there really wasn't much room anywhere to fly, unless she could get outside somehow. she then looked down at the largish crack below the locked door that was leading to the next room, where she and James clearly weren't supposed to go into.
"hurry up now, I haven't got all day. Come on!" James seemed to know what Becky was thinking and was willing her to do it "Would you really rather that I choose for you?"
Becky realized that she had no option as she thought of what she wants to become.
