As the group continued to move forward, Portia continued to complain. She criticized Sophie's magic technique, what possibly happened to her, and almost revealed what happened to Laura to Lucy. Sophie had enough, Portia's whining could make anyone snap.
"That's it! *ook* Portia, I have had enough of your criticism"
Portia squeaked in surprise, but still kept her resting face. Portia now was having more physical changes. Her mouth jutted out, creating a small muzzle. Her nose turned pink and almost button-like. Fur covered her whole body from head to toe and her ears popped out a bit more. She was almost as much of an animal like the others.
Lucy was eyeing down the pig. She was really hungry and she needed something to eat. Just a chew of the ear? Maybe? No. No, the delicious, tasty pig was their friend's pet. She couldn't forgive herself if she ate it.
They arrived at the home. Lucy's, now Laura's, home.
"We *arf* are here, but where's *woof* my master?"
Annie and Sophie looked at each other at realization. They had to get her mind fully back. Sophie read through another incantation. Pictures flashed through Lucy's mind, she realized everything that happened, she remembered...
"Laura! Master, I'm so sorry! *whine* Please forgive me!"
"Let's *oink* just get in the house"
They were about to find a way in, but then they saw Portia.
"Are you okay, Portia? *croak*"
Portia looked like she was going through a trance. Her eyes were wide and glazed, she was still as a rock. Finally, she snapped out of it. She was different, she was smiling so much, she was so happy.
"Yay! We are home! *squeak* *squeak* I love you guys! Now she can to have fun! *squeak*"
The group all looked at each other. "Well, she isn't complaining *croak* anymore".
