Nurse Claise held Rachel's wrist as she looked at a watch. "Well, from what I can tell, your first transformation isn't any time soon," she said as she let Rachel's wrist go.
"So...am I going to...." Rachel started to ask slowly.
Nurse Claise shook her head and said, "As far as I can tell, you're still normal. Your scent isn't a werefox, and I don't see any other signs of an imminent change. I can't rule out you being infected with the werevirus from what you've told me."
Rachel looked down as she mulled the nurse's words, but then asked, "Could you help me understand what you mean? Am I going to be turning into a werefox or not?"
Nurse Claise sighed and folded her arms as she sat back in her chair. "Right, I keep forgetting you're a normal new to this school." She adjusted her glasses as she continued. "The werevirus is responsible for changing your body and mind to match with the were that infected you. It's in the claws, teeth, and all of the sexual fluids. When you get exposed to the virus, you begin to change into the were that infected you. The timing of the change can vary depending on how much of the virus that you were exposed to. If this young man fully ejaculated in you, you'd be changing almost as soon as he was done. On the other hand, if you were exposed to a trace amount of the virus, the change could take up to a full day to manifest."
"And when he and I...erm...we started to...ummm..." Rachel stammered as she felt her cheeks warm up.
Nurse Claise sighed and said, "Yes, that's right, you could have been exposed." She took a close look at Rachel before she continued, "The thing is, though, that the change, even a slow change, isn't without its signs. In a fast change such as if you two fully orgasmed, the signs usually don't appear as you'd quickly change. But in a slow change, there'd be signs, such as your scent or certain werefox behaviors surfacing. But I don't see any of that here right now. It could mean that they just haven't shown themselves yet, or it could mean that this is a rather very slow change." She paused before she continued, "I just can't rule out you've been infected, but I also can't rule out you just got very lucky and avoided infection. As I said earlier, the only way you can know for certain is to go to the hospital and get tested. While you're there, you might as well get some were birth controls so that if and when you change, you won't get pregnant at the same time."
"Do you really think I should..." Rachel asked slowly before Nurse Claise interrupted her.
"I've seen this story many many times," Nurse Claise said interrupting Rachel. "If it were up to me, I'd require all normal teenagers to at least wait until the graduate high school before making the change, but I know better about how this whole thing works. If you're going to make the change to being a were, at the very least, get some were birth control pills so that you don't make a bad situation worse. You could be changing into a werefox, and you'll need that guy to complete your transformation. Or maybe you want to become something else. It's not my place to tell you what you should do." She took a breath before running a hand through her hair. "The way I see it, my job is to prevent the worst from happening. Teenagers are going to do what teenagers are going to do. I just work to try to prevent the worst outcome." Nurse Claise took one look at Rachel and said, "If you're going to do something, it's better to do it sooner rather than later before you end up down a path that you might regret or one that you might be forced down."
"I see," Rachel said, "Um...thank you for helping me."
Nurse Claise smiled and said, "It's my pleasure,| as she motioned to the door back out of the office. "And if you need to talk to me...confidential or anything, don't hesitate to stop by."
"I will," Rachel said quietly.
As Rachel left the office, her mind worked on the problem at hand. She was still interested in becoming a werebear. And she did know at least one werebear. But how should she approach him? "Hi, we talked earlier, and I want to have sex with you so I can become a werebear." Her face blushed as she thought as that was a little too crass. On the other hand, she wasn't completely turned off on the idea of becoming a werefox. Maybe she should let things advance with Aaron and see what happens. The bell rang for the next period class as she continued to wrestle with the questions in her mind.
