Lisa thought she would have a hard time sleeping but in truth she fell asleep right away and deeply, she found out later that the body going through the changes caused by the monster flu required a lot of rest and therefor the victims tended to sleep a lot. Sleeping also speed up the change, still when her alarm went off she forced herself up.
The room was still dark, she could see Monica asleep in her bed across the room. Slowly and with some care she grabbed a change of cloths and headed to the bathroom along with her cell phone. She paused before the mirror not wanting to look up at her face in fear of what she would find. She steeled herself and looked into the mirror, nothing. Her blonde hair, blue eyed face remained the same. She slowly undressed checking for any signs of the change but nothing. She turned around and raised up her hair straining her neck to see her back in the mirror. The two red lumps where still there and had expanded but nothing else.
“Thank god.” Said Lisa as she dropped her hair as her heart stopped. She saw something. Slowly she pulled her hair back to relieve that her ears had elongated and become pointed, like an elf in those fantasy movies and TV shows. Her heart rate jumped up as she wrapped herself in a towel and sat on the toilet pulling out her cell phone and doing a search. She wasn’t freaking out like she did yesterday, she knew she was going to change and now was the time she needed to figure out what she would spend the rest of her life as.
The internet was full of sites which helped people ID what monster they where becoming based on symptoms. She types in growths on back by shoulder blade and pointed ear and the top result came back.
“Fairy.” Read Lisa as she looked at the top result. “Well that isn’t too bad, I guess.”
Then she hit the result and saw all the different type of fairies. Yes, there was the classic fairy which looked like a normal human with pointed ears and insect wings, either butterfly or dragonfly like wings. Some had two wings, some had four, one she saw even had six wings. But there where also images out of her nightmares, pale white skin red eyed fairies with sharp teeth, claws which looked like they would kill you. Even her idea of having to spend her life as a tiny woman wasn’t fully there, some of the fairies remained their normal human height, others grew a little shorter some even grew taller. And like any other type of monster there where male versions of fairies and she could have to go through a gender change, same as everyone else.
“well then.” Said Lisa as she placed her phone down and started her shower, her mind focused on the change. When she finished she dried herself and started doing her hair the normal way only to stop.
“Why not?” she said to herself as she pulled her hair back enough to show the new pointed ears. She studied the new look in the mirror and found she liked it. She was about to open the door when a scream filled the air coming from someone else in the house.
