"Wow!" exclaimed Ric as he turned from the mirror. He felt incredible, and very happy. He looked around. "Um, could someone get a a towel, at least?"
Josh was not happy. Seeing his friend change like this made him feel angry, as if Ric had betrayed him somehow. Josh threw a towel at Ric. "Here." He than snatched the book and said, "I'm going to try something."
Francisco split his attention between Ric and Josh. The situation has already sprialed out of control. He had no chance to try and stop Josh.
Josh read through the book and read aloud a page. At once, he began to change. He cried out as his body contorted, muscles tisting, bones cracking and re-forming. Fur and a tail erupted from his backside, his fingernails and toenails lengthened and grew hard and sharp. His face contorted, his jaw pushing out and his teeth changing into fangs. In short order, a Josh turned himself into a tiger. He growled menacingly at the pair.
Ric and Francisco began to back up.
