Erica woke screaming, as her world was engulfed in pain. She no longer felt Sorhafe's arms around her, as she shrank, claws coming from her hands which became paws. Her ears ripped away from their previous position and moved to the top of her head. Her red hair grew over her whole body and became fur. Fighting her way out of her clothes, Erica hissed at the large two-legs around her.
"Erica, you have to fight it," Sorhafe said, in the same soothing voice she had talked to the cat earlier "If you let the beast take over, you'll lose the person you were before. You'll be a mindless beast, attacking any you find."
Her back still arched, Erica began to relax, as Sorhafe sat next to her.
"The were cat transformation is notable for being the easiest to overpower with your will," Sorhafe said, as she scratched Erica behind the ears "If you can concentrate, you should be able to transform back into yourself.
Erica screwed up her face in concentration. but nothing happened. She mewed in dismay.
"It's alright. You can do this. It'll just take you a few tries."
Erica tried. She mewed excitedly as her legs began to lengthen, and one of her claws began turning back into a finger, but she lost her concentration and reverted back to her cat form.
"Hey. Keep trying. I know you can do it."
