Feeling lightheaded, Jennifer's first thought was to collapse onto her bed, but she was determined to find out exactly what was happening to her. She stumbled across the hall into the bathroom and leaned over her sink to look in the mirror.
Her vision was fuzzy, but she managed to concentrate and focus her eyes. Her face was covered with fur. It wasn't curly, nor was it as long as the wool on her body, but it was just as dark. It obscured much of her skin, and was even on the edges of her ears. Looking closer at the ears, she watched in dizzy confusion as they grew taller and moved up on her head. They climbed a couple inches higher, lengthening and forming points at their tips. The fur that covered their outsides began creeping into their curved interior. The pink skin still visible on the inside darkened.
In fact, the skin all over her body was darkening. She looked down at the hands gripping the edges of the sink. Their pigment washed into a dull gray, then darkened to a deep shade very close to black. She noticed the same thing happening to her face, making it look practically as dark as the rest of her body. This left Jennifer's blond hair standing out in stark contrast to the changes wrought about the rest of her.
