Kyle's eyes bulged above the sock-gag, a look of horror filling them.
Suddenly a film seemed to slide over his irises, changing his blue
eyes to brown. The change seemed to ripple out from there, his nose
shrinking a bit, thinning and turning up at the end. His cheekbones
rounded and his chin tapered down to a softer point, giving him a
cherubic, rounded face that had lost the angularity of Kyle's.
As the changes continued, Jake and Sam realized that his hair was
growing rapidly from his head, lightening and thinning to a fine
blonde mass that was already reaching his jawline. A wriggle under
Kyle's throat made them take notice of the disappearance of his adam's
apple just as his shoulders shrunk inward and his collarbone protruded a bit
more.
The thinning race down Kyle's body from there, affecting his arms,
torso, waist and legs, and that's when they noticed he was also
shrinking! Suddenly before them stood a stick-thin young girl of no
more than 11 or 12, lanky blonde hair in need of a brushing and large
brown eyes filling with tears.
"Holy shit!" Sam exclaimed! "He was a she!"
"Wow, I guess we got the suprise we wanted, huh?" Jake added. "Well,
let's find out who she is and why she was changed!" he reached out and
pulled the sock from her mouth, stuffing it into his pocket.
Sobbs poured from the girl's mouth as she crouched and hugged her
knees, desperately trying to hide from the two bullies in front of
her.
"Well little girl? What's it to be?" Jake asked. "You gonna tell us
who you are and why and how you looked like Kyle before?"
