Chris continued to stare at his mother's new form with awe. She was still in a sitting position, her legs bent slightly spread across the living room. She was still looking down, her hands clutching her head. Chris could hear her heavy breathing.
He stepped forward. One of Katherine's ears perked up. She started to sit up, blinking as she opened her eyes.
"Wha...What happened? How did I...?" She trailed off, staring at her hands. "Oh my God...Oh my God!" Katherine tried to stand up.
"Mom wait!" Chris yelled. She hit her head on the ceiling. "Ow!" She screamed. Her powerful voice rang out. She started to lose her balance, her hooves pushing the carpet away as she fell onto her side.
There was another massive crash as Katherine landed on the floor. Desperately, she grabbed the couch, and ended up flipping it over. The apartment room shook with her movements.
"What's going on! What happened to me!" She cried out in desperation. Katherine gasped, realizing she was naked. She quickly covered her breasts and womanhood with her hands. She looked terrified, and on the verge of tears.
"Mom!" Chris yelled out again, rushing to her side. Her head turned toward him, recognition in her eyes. "Chris...my boy..." He put his hand on Katherine's shoulder. "It's okay, mom." He tried to sound as reassuring as he could.
Katherine took a few more deep breaths, before she finally started to relax. The tension slowly drained from her shoulders, and her breathing returned to normal.
Chris looked around, and spotted a ripped bedsheet on the fallen couch. He made his way across the room and picked it up. He had an idea.
"Hang on, mom." He called out. With a firm tug, he managed to rip the bedsheet into two pieces of cloth, one larger than the other.
Chris returned to his mother's side. "Mom, could you raise your arms for a moment?"
Katherine tilted her head slightly, but then saw the sheet in his hands and nodded. Chris carefully wrapped the smaller sheet across his mother's upper chest, tying the cloth on her back to create a makeshift bra. She lifted herself off the ground, and he did the same with her lower body, making a skirt.
"Thank you, Chris." Katherine's voice was full of relief. She smiled at him gratefully.
He gestured to the door. "Can you get to the fire escape?" His mother nodded, and they ventured toward the exit.
Over the next few minutes they two were able to get to the roof. Katherine stretched to her full height, and Chris could only now appreciate how massive she was.
His line of sight was right at the start of her tail, and as she turned around to face him, he was looking at her naval.
Chris stepped back, raising his head to meet her eyes. Katherine grinned at him, striking a pose.
"Well, how do I look?" She asked.
"You're so huge." He said.
They both chuckled. Katherine moved towards her son, and Chris gasped as she lifted him off the ground with ease.
"Thanks again for all your help today, you've really been my hero." Her tone was genuine. She beamed at him as she pulled him into a massive embrace.
Chris returned her gesture as best as he could. Her fur was soft, and her scent was familiar. He rested his head on her chest. His mother held him close for a few more moments, before carefully lowering him back to the ground. He landed on his feet.
Katherine started to look around, and her eyes went wide as she saw the edge of the forest. The apartment complex was on the edge of city limits, and a large area of wilderness was within view.
She looked back at her son. "I'll be back tonight, please take care of Tanya." Before Chris could protest, his mother leapt off the building with incredible speed, landing on the rooftop of the building across the street. He watched as she made her way to ground level, and ran into the forest.
"I guess it must be her new instincts," he speculated.
Meanwhile, Tanya looked over the box of vials, a mischievous look on her face. This must be what made mom into a deer woman, she thought to herself. Curiosity, combined with boredom got the better of her, and she selected a vial from container.
Chris made his way back to the apartment room, closing the door behind him. He sighed.
However, before he could decide what to do next, he heard footsteps in his room.
"Oh no." he spoke, rushing to open the door.
Chris arrived just in time to see his sister Tanya finish drinking one of the vials. She smacked her lips.
"Tanya! What are you doing? Those things are dangerous!" he yelled.
"Well mom got to have one, why can't I use them?" she asked, only half joking.
Chris groaned. "Which one did you take?" Tanya handed him the empty vial, and Chris read from the label.
