"What th--?!" shrieked Bill's mom in shocked surprise as Bill's head strangely faded from view, disappearing off his body... only to be instantly replaced with a stranger's head.
On her son's body, Bill's mom now saw the head of a blond, teenage girl. She was wearing too much mascara and eyeshadow, and she had her long, golden hair tied back with a fuchsia colored hair scrunchie. Silver hoop earrings dangled from her earlobes.
Other than that, Bill's body was otherwise unchanged. From the neck down, he looked like a normal, teenage boy.
Bill's mom stared, slack-jawed at the figure in front of her as the Grellstone, still gripped tightly in her hands, faded dark.
Finally, "Bill" spoke.
