"What do you mean...?" inquired a fairly panicked sounding Kevin from behind the door. "How is that even possible?!"
Suddenly, an idea struck into Jared's mind. Pulling out the medallion back out of his pocket, the 17 year old fell silent and focused his thoughts on what he intended to do all the while gripping the chain of the trinket rather firmly. With his eyes kept shut, Jared approached the door once more as the mysterious powers of the medallion soothed his aching bones and sore muscles. It practically felt like there was a radiating aura of energy surrounding the teen and he had to admit it felt invigorating, particularly since it was blinding his body from processing the new changes which would also prove to be painful without it.
Jared finally reached his bedroom door but stopped in his tracks, no longer moving. He thought to himself as the new fur sprouted from his body and his became pointed, 'Well, it's now or never. No point of return so might as well get on with it.'
Grinning deviously to himself, Jared began to speak, "You see Kevin... There's something you should know about me now..."
Jared's teeth lengthened into canines and his lower legs made a sickening snapping noise as they reformed into a digitigrade stance that would allow bipedal movement. His grin only grew further when he could distinctly pick up the labored breathings of his brother who became more frightened by the minute.
"...Not by my own admission, I will just eratically change...!"
Bones still popping as they contracted and/or reformed, Jared knew his muzzle was pushing out as his sense of smell had increased tenfold and he could tell his face felt... longer so to speak. Jared could feel the pawpads on his hands as he clenched them into fists, which is also how he discovered his new claws. The thought of the shocking surprise he was going to pull on his brother gave him the urge to chuckle but he surpressed the urge, otherwise he would blow it. However, that didn't stop his newly formed tail from expressing this by flicking a little. Suddenly, all the sensations seem to fade, including the radiant wave of energy. That was a clear indication to Jared that the changes were done. He had to have a peek at himself now that it was finished, he was just too curious.
Peeping through the doorway to the bathroom, Jared saw himself clear as day in the reflection of the mirror. He was really an anthropomorphic gray wolf. Jared felt an urge to let out a squeal of excitement which escaped his throat but came out more like a growling sound. The now wolfman Jared heard his brother gasp and he had to cover his muzzle in order to keep his snickers from slipping out of his mouth.
He decided to let suspense build up a little more for his brother before he acted on the best part of the prank. In the meantime, Jared stared at himself in the mirror and practiced on some scary looking growling faces. Even he himself was surprised at how intimidated but amazed he was with his appearence. It was just so unreal but great to experience. 'A lot better than that damn sheepdog, that's for sure,' thought Jared to himself in a slightly annoyed manner.
Finally, Jared was ready to act and started to make choked up gasps and growls, banging against stuff to sell what was soon to come. Jared then cried out in a growling voice, "OH GOD... NOT AGAIN! NO NO NOOOOOOOOO--! AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
He then reached out for the doorknob with a paw-like hand, his tail wagging in excitement. Oh the shock his little brother was going to be in for...
