Before either Sarah or Amanda can answer, Bethany's body is rocked by spasms.

Her head was suddenly filled with agonizing pain. She reached up to grasp it in her hands, when she noticed that her fingernails had sharpened and changed to a deep blue color.

"What..." she muttered as her fingernails lengthened, sharpening further as they went. She blinked, and her eyes suddenly glowed purple, eminating strange energy this way and that. She gritted her teeth, as they too lengthened and sharpened. Her ears tapered to a three inch long point stretching away from her head.

"What is this?" Bethany bellowed, hunching over once more. "What am I becooooooOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAR!"

She roared in agony as her body pressed outwards. Her muscles slammed into her skin again and again, each time retaining their enlarged size. Her skin began changing as well, toughening and becoming a light blue hue. She glanced down at her feet through the pain to see that she now had only three toes, each ending in an oversized blue claw. She heard a click as a fourth claw jutted from her heel and her foot elongated, giving her a marsupial like leg structure. She felt a sudden pain in her shoulders and down her spine. She clutched at them to feel that they were sprouting spikes. When the chain of spikes reached her tight glutes, she felt a flare of pain, and was surprised to see a tail snake out into her view.

"I'm becoming a monster," she thought. Then she reflected on the incredible power she felt coarsing through her. "And it like it." She embraced the changes as she grew another three feet taller, bursting through the ceiling of Amanda's room. A ring of horns began to poke out of her hair, now purple like her eyes. They curved and curled, extending half a foot out from her head. When they finished, Bethany knew she was complete. She bared her carnivorous jaws in a blood curling smile. She had arrived.
