Laura had stumbled back in fear, looking at her tail in horror which she had grabbed. Unable to believe what was happening, she ran over to Anna, who was the owner of a perfect pair of grey donkey ears. Anna’s eyes mirrored hers.
"Anna! We have to do something. We're not supposed to be...." Laura didn't want to say the word she was thinking.
"Donkeys!" Anna yelled full of shame and fear.
"Don't say that word!" Laura cried out wishing she hadn't heard the name of that animal. "Owwww... It’s some kind of set up! We have to get help.... from the other girls, the Coachman, ANYBODY!"
But just at that moment, something terrible happened in the room that made Laura step back and see Anna with her eyes wide open. In fact, that was creepier than Laura's donkey-like body... and it was happening on Anna's face.
Her teeth began to change, turning yellow and growing, causing her jaw to jut out. Her mouth migrated away from the rest of her head, pulling her once cute nose with it. Nostrils flaring and expanding, her nose widened as it merged with Anna’s upper lip, pushing further until forming an equine snout. Her beautiful eyes, now forced to the sides of her cranium, darkened to match the rest of her new face.
Above Anna’s head, something black and bushy sprouted up like a Mohawk down the center of her hair, disappearing down her back into the midcalf-length prairie dress she wore. Topping off the changes to Carrie’s head, a soft wave of grey hair quickly grew in, paired with white sections of fur around her new nose, mouth and eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Anna's head had turned into a fuzzy grey yearling donkey muzzle. Her long ears now did match her head. Anna was not aware of what was happening to her.
"Aaaahhhhh!", Laura screamed pointing at Anna. Then, she leaned in to touch Anna's nose. "You have a nose!...donkey nose!"
Without thinking twice, Anna put her hands on her face, realizing she had a muzzle instead of her normal nose and cheeks covered with soft fur instead of her pretty rosy cheeks. With frantic tears, Anna ran over again to the broken mirror and staring back at her is a half donkey-half human girl creature.
“AIIEEEEEEEEEEEE! Huuuuuuuhhhhh! Hehhhhuuuuuh…hehhhhhuuuuuhhhh...hehhhuuuuuuhhhhh...” Anna had screamed in terror, but immediately she stopped her shriek to start making that strange sound without being able to control it, until it turned into genuine donkey brays. “Aaaahheeeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwwwwww! HEEEEEE-HAAAAWWWWWW!”, Anna let it out closing her eyes and jerking her body back and then forward. She slapped a hand over her mouth.
A brief silence filled the room, it was uncomfortable and terrifying. After making sure that she had stopped braying, Anna removed her hand from her mouth and continued crying.
"Anna! We have to get out of here!" Laura yelled. "Is this place... this place is cursed!"
Anna and Laura had already understood that they had been double-crossed! They were lured here to become asses!
"Ooohhhh! My face! My face! my beautiful face!" Anna continued wailing covering her face with her arm, then she turned around to see Laura. “Oh Laura! Please get me out of here!”
With her legs frozen in shock, Anna reached out her arms desperately towards Laura, who had come up to Anna to take her hand and get out of there. But before Laura could grab her hand, Anna felt a spasm in her hands and watched helplessly as they curled into fists. Darkening, hardening and merging into a single mass, her pretty soft hands became hooves before her very eyes.
Anna and Laura's eyes widened when they saw Ana's hands turn into hooves. Anna, shivering with fear, brought her new hooves to her face as she sprouted gray fur on her wrists. Now Anna looked more donkey than girl, a yearling bipedal donkey in a dress.
"NOOOOO!!!" screamed Anna. "NO! NO! NO! I DON'T WANNA BE A DONKEY! I'M NOT A DONKEY!" Anna started running around the room crazly. As Anna ran crying hysterically, her arms began to stretch and grow a healthy fur coat.
