The sudden moment of panic overwhelmed her. She inhaled sharply and -
*flash*
She was standing in the middle of a dark woods. Instantaneously she almost fell over, as she had appeared on a slope, one foot suddenly turning to the side while the other was initially hanging short of a foot in the air. She was able to keep her footing as gravity caught her offguard, but she had to stop to hop and nurse one ankle as she had threatened to roll into a sprain. Worse, she dropped partially opened coffee pack. "God DAMMIT!" she screamed. Her curse echoed back at her repeatedly as it faded.
At least I'm back home, a part of her thought. She didn't even both to mentally chastise herself that time.
As she looked around, listening to the sound of water somewhere nearby, there was a sense of familiarity with this place. She remembered it, or rather he did. It was one of wolf 7GO4's memories. "Huh," she said as she looked around. There was not much moonlight, but she could see relatively well considering, especially when she held still and focused on an area. Only in a few spots did the trees downhill thin out enough for her to see much further, but there it began to lose distinction. Yet as a slight breeze moved a few loose leaves, the motion stood out. "Great. When did T-Rex get into me?" Now another part of her mind chastised her, saying that was not a trait of the tyrannosaur. "I know!" she said to herself. "I read the second book." She mentally chastised herself for that too. "Right. Focus on the published research papers, not the fiction."
She took a breath and looked down at herself. Her hands ended in claws and strips of dark fur ran up one side of her arms. Her legs were similar, but at least her heels were still on the ground. Her body had lines of fur in places but most was still clear. Her muscles were more clearly defined, though she would have to think on why later. Her chest area was rather generous, taking more after.... She couldn't decide who for some reason. She could also feel the sharpened teeth in her mouth. Her privates were mixed. It was extended outward and there was a lump underneath, but it was still mostly a vulva. She wondered how functional she was either way. Maybe that was something to experiment on. Strangely the part of her that recognized the oddity in that was not as loud as she would had thought. Her vulva extended further out a little more, and she even felt her spine start to extend a little into a tail nub.
"Okay, wait a minute," she said to herself. "If features of the wolf can come out and go away, I should be able to shift to something closer to Doc Shelly or Zoey." It seemed reasonable. She doubted she'd be able to change completely into any of them, since even the wolf never took form completely. Plus it was not like she could just manifest new mass out of nowhere. But there was the question of how far she could go.
She tried to focus, but oddly enough she couldn't decide which of the two women to change towards first. It was then she smelled something in the fresh air, filling her senses and alerting her that something was nearby.
