Strange dreams, weird women, and a bizarre book.
All of this gave you a bit of a head rush staring at the book. Was it real, an elaborate prank, some kind of hallucination? Whichever it was the book was there and that wasn’t going to change. You could feel a couple butterflies in your stomach, feeling foolish for just entertaining ideas this could be real, but regardless as the image of a certain creature came into your mind, you heard yourself mutter the word:
“Shift.”
For a few moments, you felt embarrassing, realizing how foolish you were acting, and quickly shut the book, intending to never look at it again. Right at that moment though there was a loud ripping noise, as your shirt fell in pieces off your body when something shout out of your back.
Your eyes widened as a part of was suspicious of what just happened. Hoping no one else was up, you quickly ran out of your bedroom, and to the bathroom locking the door behind you, then looking in the mirror. Your reflection showed that two large blue wings had grown out of your back. Your mouth hung open as you stared at it, but there was a tingling sensation at your spine that distracted you. A second later, your pants were torn off leaving you nude, as a long flexible tail covered in blue scales grew out from your tail bone.
“Ah!” You gave out a cry of surprise, as you fell back landing on your tail. Landing on the hard and jagged scales hurt your skin more than it hurt your new tail. You stifled a whimper of pain, as you slowly climbed back up to your feet, though something was strange about them. Your toenails were much longer than they should have been, as well as colored black, and looked dangerously sharp. You quickly looked at your hands and fingernails, seeing they too were now sharp claws.
Then the most dramatic part of the change took place, scales began to grow all over your body. They were a dark blue, matching your tail and wings, and in a matter of minutes your entire body was covered. The very last part of the change, was your face pushed out into a slight snout.
The changes complete, you slowly looked over yourself in the moon. It wasn’t fair to say you were completely horrified, but there was a strange satisfaction to being in this form. It made you feel stronger, as if you could accomplish anything. You let loose a light chuckle, and a small jet of fire was shot from your nostrils singing the bathroom’s wallpaper.
Oops, you may want to watch out for that.
