"My child, you have retained your humanity. You should consider yourself very fortunate"
Kelsey, in a daze, stammered to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Kelsey was still human, but no longer a child. Shaking in terror, Kelsey didn't recognize the stranger staring back at her. She estimated she was about five inches taller. Her body had taken on considerable weight, making her "thick." Her face was the most startling. Her nose was thinner, her eyes were both bright blue, and long blonde hair fell down the sides of her face.
She crawled into a ball and started weeping. Daru walked into the room and stood at a distance. "Kelsey, you need to get dressed and we need to go."
Kelsey looked up miserably. "Go? Go...where?" "I don't have a home anymore. I'm not even Kelsey anymore...I'm some 30-year-old dumb bimbo freak."
Daru sighed. "You should consider yourself incredibly fortunate. I have seen transformations go far worse. You could have become something animal, perhaps even something that isn't biological." Daru handed her a white shirt, panties, and grey sweatpants to put on.
Kelsey started to stand up. "Can you fix me?" she whimpered.
Daru shook his head. "I can't, but someone else can. Your original DNA structure is still intact; it's just a matter of overriding the salve that was put into your system. That isn't very important right now...we need to"
"NOT IMPORTANT! I AM A CHILD WHO JUST HAD HER BODY STOLEN, DON'T TELL ME"
Daru walked over and put his fingers to her lip. "Listen to me, I understand you are in pain, but there are far bigger concerns. The doppleganger viewed you as a means to an end. We have to find out what that is."
Kelsey stood up to put on her clothing and almost fell down. She struggled to get everything on, the clothing Daru picked was all a size too small. Kelsey looked at herself in the mirror again, feeling completely alienated from this new body she was forced into.
"There is something you should know."
"What?"
"The doppleganger didn't come alone"
