After a few moments of blinding green light, it finally fades. Unlike how looking at bright light would leave this blury patch in her site, this time it didn't happen. Jen just blinked a few times and could see perfectly fine.
"Hmm, I guess this will have to do for now. Try speaking to me" commanded Esmerelda. Jen felt compelled to do what she said and spoke. "Okay, hello."
Esmerelda's stoic expression broke and the one corner of her lips kicked up into a smirk. "Hello there. I guess I managed to at least break through that part. But... well you will probably find out soon enough. Anyways, now that we can properly communicate, I will tell you once again. I am not going to sever our new connection. There is no benefit for me to do it. And since this kind of connection makes you obediently follow my orders, you are hear by forbidden from using the curse on anyone. Unless I directly permit you to do so."
Jen felt herself nod and a mental lock form around uttering the now forbidden phrase. She knew somehow that she now could never use the curse unless given explicit permission from her Owner. Hold on... Owner? "Are you my Owner?" Asked Jen somewhat hesitantly, as she was a bit worried about the answer.
"Hmm, am I now your Owner? What an interesting question. Tell me what you honestly think."
"Yes ma'am. I believe you ARE my Owner. Or do you not want me?" Jen asked this hoping that she would release her ownership over her, even though asking it made her body feel extremely hopeful that she would not.
"I guess you have found my answer then. Yes, I think I will become your Owner, and you will become my favorite pet." Esmerelda then reached a hand down and began gently scratching beneath Jen's neck.
A sudden explosion of new sensations riddled Jen's body and she tilted her head back and stuck her neck out further before she even realized what was going on. A loud rumblings sound began to emanate from the back of her neck as well. Pulsing rhythmically, as she began purring like a cat. It was then she noticed something about herself that she hadn't for a while now. She was still squatting like an animal.
And upon looking down, Jen immediately found out why. Her hands and feet, along with the majority of her arms and legs, was now coated in fur, with her limbs now ending in four matching paws. But unlike those of a dog, or even a house cat, her paws were much, much larger.
Jen lifted up her right fore-paw and examined it. The paw had four digits, and lacked a thumb. She also could extend and retract 4 sharp talon-like claws from the ends of those digits, confirming the fact that she was some kind of cat. The underside also had soft, squishy pads, which she wished she could poke and play with, but couldn't without having any human fingers. Her hind legs now bent at the backs of her rear paws, almost as if she were standing in heels.
Then Jen saw something else. Something fur covered and thin suddenly flicked into view near her ass. And she could both feel it and somewhat control it too. Her new tail. It was long and super soft looking.
"Well, owning an exotic cat is definitely a sign of one's wealth I suppose. And I happen to like jaguars too. Plus, my precious kitten can even talk with me" spoke Esmerelda as she stopped scratching her new pet. She then stood up and untied Jen's rope collar. She already knew Jen was bound to her, and could neither harm or disobey her, so keeping Jen on a leash was impractical. She gave Jen's head a gentle pet, alerting Jen to the existence of her new ears, and began walking away.
Jen, who momentarily tried feeling her new ears with her paws, was compelled to follow after her Owner and began chasing after Esmerelda. She was a little surprised by how far Esmerelda managed to distance herself given the fact she was wearing pretty tall heels, but Jen still managed to catch up in practically no time at all. Her new partially feline body was way better adapt with moving on all fours than her human body had been, even after the curse had mildly altered it to accommodate for it.
She was lead to a grand study, filled with countless shelves of books, along with a massive desk and fireplace. "I am going to do some further research for a while. So for now, just behave yourself." Esmerelda then quickly pulled several books from the shelves using some kind of magic, and piled them onto the desk as a fire blazed into existence.
Esmerelda took a seat in the chair behind the desk and went to work. With nothing else to do, Jen trotted over and crawled underneath the chair before laying down at her Owner's feet and fell asleep.
Several hours must have passed before Jen woke back up, as it was now dark outside. Jen could feel something touching her, and opened her eyes to find herself laying on her back, with Esmerelda's feet resting on her boobs as if they were foot rests. Jen wanted to care, but couldn't and just continued laying there, even after Esmerelda gave her boobs a squeeze with her toes. It felt pretty good, kinda like how being pet had felt.
Sensing her pet had woken up, Esmerelda looked underneath the desk at her improvised foot rest and smiled. "Well good evening, I have some interesting news."
