You nod at the offer, thinking the best way to fight this is from within, though your mind was also telling you that these girls would be cool to hang out with and that you could have so much fun.
Claire nodded in return and looking at Kelly, she explained, "I suppose it was told that someone is trying to kill me? Someone who believes that I am evil." A nod and Claire continued. "This is all true and that this is the reason I am gathering girls to my side, although I only need a total of seven. You, Jamie shall be my sixth. If you survive the initiation."
"Initiation?" you ask, a slight tremble in your new feminine voice. "I thought I was all ready initiated by being turned into a girl?"
Claire grinned, while several of the other girls giggled. Kelly, who was neither grinning nor giggling, stepped forward and said, "Each girl must discover their power within. Part of this road of discovery is finding out what animal spirit lives within you."
Hugging yourself, not sure you are enjoying this part, you ask, "What does this entail?"
Claire looked at you and then said, "You will be taken out to the woods behind my house, stripped and left to wander. There, in your wandering you shall either remain human, thus being no use to my cause, or you will transform to your animal. Afterward, you shall spend a night in the woods. In the morning, you will have an awakening."
A pause and then, "That meaning, you shall either transform back to a human, with the power to switch easily between animal and human, and finding thus your basic powers have been unlocked. Or you shall find that you are trapped in the animal form. In which case you are no use to my cause and I say enjoy your new life."
Claire grinned at this last part and fearing rising up inside of you, you ask, "How many have survived this test?"
Claire grinned and then announced, "Just us so far."
Looking at Kelly, seeing the same fear you are feeling reflected in her eyes, you wonder what you should choose to do. Heaving a deep breath, you look at Claire and figuring you've come this far, you ask, "When do we begin?"
Claire's grin widened and just as one of the girls slipped behind you and placed a hood over you, she announced, "Right now. Welcome to the Aquarius Club, my water bearer."
