You ponder the situation for a moment and then say, "Alright, prove it to me, turn me into a werewolf."
She smiles as she looks you over. "Very well."
She snaps her fingers and in a flash you are both standing on stage in her tent show. The tent is exactly as you had always imagined it, made of tan canvas and illuminated by lanterns. The tent was filled with men of differing ages seated on simple wooden benches. Your heart starts racing from sheer panic. A moment ago you were standing in your apartment, now you were in a tent in front of a large audience. You looked to the Madame standing next to you, shocked at the sudden change of surroundings.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I have our first volunteer!" she announced to the crowd. It sinks in immediately that the volunteer is you. "And he has an interesting request. One I think will make for a great show."
You watch as she walked around you, chanting her ancient spell, waving her hand around. You feel a strange tingling sensation. Your mind is reeling from the panic. This can't be happening. Yet it is. You know you're really here, that you're not hallucinating. As she finishes and steps away, you can feel the entire audience's gaze fall on you. You turn to Madame Illusia.
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you. Really, but please..." you suddenly feel a burning sensation throughout your body as sweat immediately starts to develop. You clutch your stomach and cry out, already feeling your insides beginning to change. You begin to feel a searing pain in your fingertips as your thin fingernails slowly tear away as large, thick, sharp claws begin to grow in. You turn back again to the Madame with one last plea. "Please, no..."
You're shocked when your voice becomes really guttural and deep. You reach up to rub your throat, stunned to find it hairy. You reached up and found your face was getting hairy as well and your ears were growing to lupine points. It was really happening. Something you had fantasized about so much was really happening and you found yourself suddenly not so scared and more excited. Then a little bit of disappointment set in. The audience was seeing the transformation happen, but you weren't. You could only feel the changes happen.
You rip open your shirt, revealing your now hairy chest, running your fingers through your growing fur and letting out a low growl. You let out a small whimper as the transformation continued as your chest began to barrel out and your back muscles began to change and reform. Your shoes ripped apart as they grew out, each toe tipped with a sharp claw. The audience gasped as your face started to push out into a lupine snout as large, sharp fangs grew in. As you stand in front of the audience, a newly transformed werewolf, you look over yourself still not quite believing what just happened.
"Let's give it up for our first volunteer! Wasn't that great?" announced Stephen, the Madam's son who had been waiting in the wings. You let out a long howl as the audience applauds. Stephen then leads you off stage as the Madam asks for her next volunteer.
Just off stage, you find a door standing on a simple frame that would appear to lead nowhere. You look to Stephen, confused.
"If you go through that door, you it will take you back where you belong. Thanks for being a good sport. My Mom has always been one for theatrics. You and her appearing out of thin air really made the show." Stephen smiled and for a moment you ponder what would happen if you stayed. Deciding the better of it, you open the door, surprised to see it leads back to your own bedroom. You nod to Stephen and step through it.
In a flash, you're back in your bedroom and back to your normal, human self. You look over yourself, feeling slightly disappointed. You'd doubt it even happened, but your clothes are still ripped and torn. You look over to your computer and see there is something typed in the chapter box on the CYOC page. You sit down at the computer and read through it. It's word for word exactly what happened to you. You lift up your left hand and think about the transformation you had experienced. To your surprise, the claws started to grow in again as your skin once again sprouted new hairs. You smile as your heart begins to race from excitement again. Then, you reach over to your mouse and post the chapter.
