Will groaned, "Don't change the subject."
Megan shook her head, "You got something on it. Are you sick, Will?"
"What?" Will felt his face, "Whoa, what the--?" He then blinked, "It's happening to you too!"
Megan went wide-eyed and felt her face, "Oh god, what's happening!?"
It's that candle, thought Will.
He got up and walked to the candle on the dresser. He picked up a bell with his furry hand and extinguished the flame hoping that would be enough to stop whatever was happening to him and his friend. His body still felt weird though. His stomach was growing outward and his feet we're getting irritated in his shoes.
"What are you doing, Will?" asked Megan.
"It's not me!" he replied.
Megan shrieked at the tail coming out the back of her jeans. Her whole body was warm and shifting. She shared Will's foot discomfort and groaned as her face stretched outward. It didn't hurt, the transformation, but it was very weird-feeling.
"We're turning into animals!" said Megan.
Will could only frown as his furry face began to stretch out like Megan's. His black hair turned brown and grew out long and road down his face. His ears started riding up his face. Below his shoes were fighting a war with his growing clawed feet. His furred plantigrade feet burst out of the leather, leaving barely even a piece of sock on.
"Lions!" said Megan as she kicked off her shoes, "We're turning into lions!"
A tail had shot out of Will's pants, it hurt a bit. His body was getting larger, with muscle and fat covering his body. Brown padding had developed underneath his feet and on the insides of his hand. His face had finished transforming. He had transformed into an anthropomorphic lion. And Megan, a lioness.
Megan could barely get out a word, "Where... where did you get that candle?"
"From some Chinese shop," Will replied.
