A young woman becomes the target of a strange curse.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A light flurry of snow chased the three young women as they walked along the sidewalk, the surface gleaming wet from melted snow.\u00a0 Laughter and conversation followed them with people calling out cheerfully and drunkenly.\u00a0 Store fronts were well lit and busy, even this late at night and a Salvation Army volunteer called out for donations on seemingly every other street.<\/p>\n

Trish hugged her body close, shivering for a moment as the wind sliced through her scarf, burning her ears.\u00a0 Her small, sharp nose barely showed above the scarf.\u00a0 She tried to burrow her face lower into the scarf but, instead, pulled her knit cap further down.<\/p>\n

I need a bear,<\/em> she thought.\u00a0 A big warm bear to cuddle with at night.\u00a0 <\/em>She blushed, her face barely turning more crimson as she remembered her date two days ago.\u00a0 Her date wasn’t a bear but he was taller than her and she saw chest hair peeking through his black polo shirt.\u00a0 She smiled beneath her scarf and felt her body flush at the thought of him spooning her in bed.\u00a0 She liked to take things slowly but, right now, she’d jump at the chance to steal his body heat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Trish, were you listening?” Kelly asked.\u00a0 Trish blinked quickly, wiping her thoughts away.<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry,” Trish replied.\u00a0 “What are we talking about?”<\/p>\n

“You’re going to get him a gift right?\u00a0 Benjamin?”\u00a0 Kelly prodded.<\/p>\n

“We only just had the one date!” Trish said.\u00a0 The young woman shoved her small hands under her armpits.\u00a0 “And it was only drinks.”<\/p>\n

“It’s almost Christmas, Trish,” Tina said, playfully bumping her hip against her friend.\u00a0 “Just get him something small.\u00a0 You liked him, didn’t you?”<\/p>\n

“Well, yes, but,” Trish said hesitantly.\u00a0 She blushed again.\u00a0 He’d had a nice beard, too.\u00a0 Short but thick.\u00a0 And those little crinkles in the corners of his eyes.<\/p>\n

“But nothing,” Kelly told her.\u00a0 “Come on, we’ll find him something.\u00a0 He’ll probably get you something, too.\u00a0 Worst case, you show up with a gift and he’s got nothing.\u00a0 Just play it off.\u00a0 And it’ll be small.\u00a0 Cute.\u00a0 And then you kiss under a mistletoe.\u00a0 Wait.\u00a0 Do people still do that?\u00a0 Do people even put up mistletoe anymore?\u00a0 What do we put up for drunken, disappointing sex?\u00a0 Because with the way my life is going, that’s what I need.”<\/p>\n

“Fine!” Trish squeaked.\u00a0 Despite the cold and numbness, she could feel her ears burning.\u00a0 She wasn’t a prude but, despite knowing her friends for years, she wasn’t nearly as comfortable talking about sex as they were.<\/p>\n

A glass door opened in front of the trio, a small bell tingling sharply in the crisp air.\u00a0 Trish glanced in the storefront to see a small antique shop.\u00a0 Fake snow frosted the corner of the large windows but she could see a store packed with old Radio Flyer wagons, wooden toys and glass cases full of small trinkets.\u00a0 Her eyes caught on a row of pocket watches and she immediately pictured Benjamin smiling wide while pulling an old watch from a gift box.<\/p>\n

“Here,” she told her friends.\u00a0 “Let’s look in here.”\u00a0 The other two women glanced in the store and then followed Trish when she walked inside.<\/p>\n

Trish stopped inside the store, wiping her small feet on the mat just inside.\u00a0 She pulled her wool gloves off, stuffing them inside her large coat pockets.\u00a0 Her knit cap followed and she ran her fingers through her short, black hair to fix the stray strands.\u00a0 The three friends broke off, wandering the store separately, calling out to each other when one of them found an especially interesting thing to look at.\u00a0 Trish walked straight to the display case holding the pocket watches.\u00a0 She pictured Benjamin with each of them in turn until she settled on a small, brass watch that she thought would look nice.\u00a0 It was cheap and worn but had a certain charm to it.<\/p>\n

“Excuse me, miss!”\u00a0 Trish called out.\u00a0 The salesperson, an older woman who looked worn out from all the shoppers, smiled at her and came over.\u00a0 “I’d like the pocketwatch here, second from the right, please.”<\/p>\n

“Of course, let me just unlock the case.\u00a0 Would you like to look at it first?”\u00a0 The woman took a ring of keys from her pocket.<\/p>\n

“Oh, no, I want it.\u00a0 Does… is there any history behind it?”<\/p>\n

The woman smiled widely at Trish.\u00a0 “No, I’m afraid not.\u00a0 They’re just old trinkets I’ve collected over the years.\u00a0 People bring me things, sometimes.\u00a0 Estate sale items that aren’t sold or just old things collecting dust in the attic.\u00a0 Honestly, I couldn’t even tell you where I got this one.”<\/p>\n

“Oh,” Trish frowned.\u00a0 She felt silly for being disappointed but a small part of her wanted there to be a cute story of a serviceman returning from the War, bringing the watch home to a waiting wife.\u00a0 Still, she supposed it’s better that she didn’t know the story for it.\u00a0 The thought of a grandchild selling a grandparent’s old things made her sad.<\/p>\n

“Is it a gift for someone?\u00a0 Shall I wrap it for you?”<\/p>\n

“It is,” Trish hesitated.\u00a0 She was absolutely horrible at wrapping gifts.\u00a0 Most of them ended up being more tape than wrapping paper.\u00a0 She heard her friends giggling over something in the corner and talking with hushed voices.\u00a0 Trish blew warm air into her cold hands and then decided it was the thought that counted.\u00a0 “No, no thank you.\u00a0 I’ll wrap it myself.”<\/p>\n

Kelly and Tina met Trish at the register.\u00a0 Tina held a wooden box.\u00a0 “I found a box of old photos.\u00a0 After this, let’s go to the Stag, drink a ton of wine and go through them.\u00a0 There’s a million of them in there.”<\/p>\n

“Deal,” Trish said.\u00a0 “As long as it’s warm.”<\/p>\n

Glancing to the side, Trish noticed a calendar sitting on a small plastic stand.\u00a0 Her heart melted at the picture of a small terrier wearing a vest and tiny hat.\u00a0 She picked it up while the salesperson rang up Tina’s purchase.\u00a0 Every month had a different animal dressed up in adorable clothing.\u00a0 She flipped through the months, happy to see that it wasn’t completely marked up; only a day or two a month had any writing on them.<\/p>\n

“I’d like this, too, please,” Trish said, putting the calendar down next to the pocketwatch.\u00a0 As she did, her finger slid along the edge of it and she hissed at the sharp pain in her finger.\u00a0 She pulled her hand back to see a drop of blood welling on the tip of her finger.\u00a0 She stuck her finger in her mouth, sucking at the blood.<\/p>\n

“Oh dear,” the woman said, her eyes full of concern.\u00a0 “Paper cut?\u00a0 Oh dear.\u00a0 I think I have some bandaids in the back.”<\/p>\n

“No, no,” Trish said, embarrassed by the attention.\u00a0 “I’m fine.\u00a0 It’s fine.\u00a0 It’ll go away.\u00a0 It barely hurts.”<\/p>\n

“All right,” the woman replied.\u00a0 “Nasty things, those.\u00a0 Put some iodine on it when you’re home and bandage it up.\u00a0 That’ll be $46.81, dear.”<\/p>\n

Trish pulled twenties from her purse.\u00a0 Her finger throbbed but the bleeding had stopped.<\/p>\n

“We said a small gift, Trish,” Kelly told her.\u00a0 “That’s not exactly cheap, you know.”<\/p>\n

“I know,” Trish answered, accepting her change and the bag holding the two items.\u00a0 “But I like it and I think he’ll like it.\u00a0 And, it’s Christmas.\u00a0 Now, let’s go get those drinks.”<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

“And then, and then,” Tina said, her face flush and a wide smile showing her perfect white teeth.\u00a0 “I said.\u00a0 Tony.\u00a0 We can’t get married.\u00a0 Ever.\u00a0 Not ever.\u00a0 ‘Tony’ and ‘Tina’?\u00a0 It doesn’t work.\u00a0 You’ll have to change your name if you ever propose.\u00a0 Bob. Or… or… Eduardo.”<\/p>\n

“Eduardo?\u00a0 Eduardo?\u00a0 Really?” Kelly laughed.<\/p>\n

“I.\u00a0 Have a thing.\u00a0 I like the name.” Tina answered, looking down.\u00a0 Her face burned even brighter.<\/p>\n

“Tina, no.\u00a0 Oh my god, no,” Kelly said, staring at her friend.\u00a0 “That… high school.\u00a0 That exchange student.\u00a0 Wasn’t his name-”<\/p>\n

Trish laughed along with her friends.\u00a0 The room spun lightly around her whenever she moved her head and she felt a slight pounding behind her temples.\u00a0 She was warm and had already taken off her coat earlier.\u00a0 Her single glass of wine was nearly empty and she reached for it to drain the last bit.\u00a0 Although warm, she shivered as goosebumps ran along her arms.<\/p>\n

“More, Trish?”\u00a0 Kelly asked, too loudly.\u00a0 The other two were already working on their third glass.<\/p>\n

“No,” Kelly said, swinging her head slowly.\u00a0 “I’m feeling kind of out of it, Kel.”<\/p>\n

“You okay?” Tina asked, staring at her friend with eyes too wide.\u00a0 “You’re looking a little pale.\u00a0 Maybe we should get you home.\u00a0 It’s late and god knows I don’t need more wine.”<\/p>\n

“Yeah,” Trish said.\u00a0 “Sorry.\u00a0 Yeah, I think that’d be good.\u00a0 I’ll call up the Uber.”<\/p>\n

Fumbling with her phone, the young woman pulled up the Uber app to feed it their address.\u00a0 Her friends flagged down their waitress and fought over who’d pay the bill.\u00a0 Trish put her phone away, rubbing at her temples to massage the dull ache.\u00a0 Both hands on her head, she rubbed and pressed her fingers higher against her forehead.\u00a0 Her fingertips scratched at her hairline and she sighed, shivering at the feeling.\u00a0 The young woman dug her fingernails in, scratching hard above her forehead.\u00a0 She felt the scratching deep in her bones and along her spine.\u00a0 It was nearly pleasurable.\u00a0 She shifted in her seat, rocking her hips back and forth until she noticed her friends standing.<\/p>\n

Blinking, Trish stood, quickly grabbing her jacket to hide her sudden embarrassment.\u00a0 She followed her friends outside as she wrapped herself in her layers, pulling her scarf up to hide her face.\u00a0 Her left ear twitched and she scratched at it quickly.<\/p>\n

A plain black car rolled up to the curb, crunching through the snow.\u00a0 Kelly bent over, looking the driver up and down before giving her approval.\u00a0 She took the front seat while Trish and Tina slipped into the back.<\/p>\n

Trish sat in the leather seat and buckled herself.\u00a0 Her ears buzzed lightly and the street lights seemed too bright for her as the car pulled away into the street.\u00a0 She closed her eyes and leaned back, folding her arms in her lap.\u00a0 Her ears flicked at the background sounds while she breathed deeply, nostrils flaring to take in scents.\u00a0 She rubbed at her thigh and then scratched slowly.<\/p>\n

The young woman spread her legs, opening them until they nearly touched Tina’s knees.\u00a0 A very faint scent wafted up to her and she breathed deeply, feeling something new trigger deep inside of her.\u00a0 Her fingers traced along her inner thighs and she clawed slowly at them.\u00a0 Fine brown hairs slowly grew from along her thighs.\u00a0 Slowly, from her knees to her hips the tiny hairs sprouted.\u00a0 Trish clawed at her legs and breathed deeply, heart racing as the alluring scent seemed to slowly fill the car.\u00a0 She moaned, low, rolling her head.\u00a0 Sweat beaded along her shoulders and forehead.<\/p>\n

Brakes squealed in the air as the car pulled to a stop.\u00a0 Trish opened her eyes, blinking in confusion.\u00a0 Her pupils dilated and then grew slowly, edging out the whites of her eyes.<\/p>\n

“Oh,” Trish said simply.\u00a0 She shook her head, scratching quickly at her forehead before unbuckling herself.<\/p>\n

“Hey,” Tina said.\u00a0 “You sure you’re okay?\u00a0 Do you want me to stay over?”<\/p>\n

“No,” Trish told her.\u00a0 More strongly, she continued.\u00a0 “No.\u00a0 I’ll be fine.\u00a0 Just going to rest.\u00a0 I’ll call you tomorrow, okay?”<\/p>\n

“Yeah, okay,” Tina answered doubtfully.<\/p>\n

“Bye, Kel.\u00a0 Tina.\u00a0 Love you both,” Trish said as she stepped out of the car.\u00a0 She wavered for a moment but then stood.\u00a0 More sweat formed between her small breasts, sliding slowly down her stomach.\u00a0 She shivered from the feeling of it.\u00a0 White hairs lazily raised along her lower belly.\u00a0 Slowly, the hairs lifted, mixing in with her trimmed black pubic hairs until she was left with a white and silver line of fur leading to her belly button.\u00a0 She stumbled for a moment, pressing her hand against the car as her pants dug into her hips.\u00a0 Muscle and fat grew in her ass, pulling her slacks tight as it expanded, straining the fabric of her pants.\u00a0 She pushed herself away from the car and waved at her friends.<\/p>\n

Trish’s breath puffed into the cold night air.\u00a0 The young woman licked at her dry lips.\u00a0 Again she licked and her tongue reached further, thickening and lengthening until, with a third lick, the tip of her tongue reached her nose.\u00a0 The smell from inside the car seemed to have followed her and she grunted, breathing deeply.\u00a0 Her nose flared and she stomped her foot, pawing at the ground with her boot.\u00a0 She felt warm and relaxed and turned on but couldn’t say why.<\/p>\n

Glancing up, thick white clouds pulled apart to reveal a fat, silver moon high in the sky.\u00a0 Trish stomped the ground again, glanced around and then turned.\u00a0 Her thighs rubbed together in her too-tight slacks.\u00a0 A muscle low in her back twitched.<\/p>\n

Inside her small house, Trish quickly unwrapped herself.\u00a0 Her ears seemed to be burning, not from the cold but from the warmth she was feeling.\u00a0 A single brown hair sprouted from the tip of her left ear.\u00a0 Silky and thin, the hair grew and a second joined it.\u00a0 Her ear flicked briefly as a third hair pushed through.\u00a0 More hairs followed until the tips of both ears were covered in short, fine hairs.<\/p>\n

Fatigue washed over the small, young woman.\u00a0 Her entire body ached at the joints and she worried briefly whether she was coming down with the flu.\u00a0 Stripped down to her slacks and top but still too warm, she pulled her shirt over her head, scratching briefly at the line of fur along her lower belly.\u00a0 The sudden, cool air made her shiver and she nearly gasped from the feeling of it along her body.<\/p>\n

Two small bumps formed on either side of her forehead.\u00a0 She rubbed and scratched at her head and then unzipped her pants, digging fingernails into the sides.\u00a0 She struggled to push the tight slacks down over her now-large ass.\u00a0 The fabric slid over her skin and she shifted her legs, pulling them off.<\/p>\n

Trish stood in her bra and panties, one hand scratching the inside of her thighs while the other rubbed against her lower stomach.\u00a0 Brown and black hairs sprouted from her lower back and the skin twitched as a new muscle formed, pulling at the bones in her hips.\u00a0 Her panties were dug into her larger hips and ass, pulling them tight.\u00a0 Her engorged lips nearly swallowed the thin material.\u00a0 Coarse hairs grew from her outer lips and the lips themselves swelled as the hairs lengthened.<\/p>\n

The young woman’s thighs whisked together as she walked to the bathroom.\u00a0 She stared at her toothbrush for a moment but the urge to sleep was overpowering and she continued on to her small bedroom.\u00a0 The scent, musk really, trailed behind her, growing stronger as her lips swelled to accommodate her changing body.\u00a0 She pawed at the ground again, stomping and scenting the air while her lightly furred ears flicked.<\/p>\n

Pulling back her covers, Trish climbed into bed.\u00a0 She covered herself , pulling the blankets up to her chin.\u00a0 Yawning wide enough for her jaw to crack, she closed her mouth and ground her teeth.\u00a0 They ached deep in her jaw but the grinding motion helped.\u00a0 Silver light seeped through her window blinds and Trish tossed and turned in her bed, uncomfortable with her own body heat.<\/p>\n

Finally, the young woman kicked the blankets down.\u00a0 She was fairly panting from the heat suffusing her body.\u00a0 Her panties strained as her ass continued to swell.\u00a0 She moaned, her voice deeper than it should be, as the fabric slid between her lightly furred wetness.\u00a0 Yawning again, the young woman rolled to her stomach.\u00a0 She rocked her ass slowly, back and forth, up and down.\u00a0 Her thighs slowly grew to match her ass, skin straining to show veins bulging.\u00a0 The young woman spread her legs and rocked, pressing her mound against the bed.\u00a0 Unsatisfied, she pulled the blankets under her until she she lowered herself onto them.\u00a0 She groaned, rocking her hips as her mind became clouded.<\/p>\n

Heat coursed through Trish’s body.\u00a0 Fur sprouted between her small breasts, forming a small tuft that brushed against the sheets.\u00a0 She lowered her chest to raise her hips and then rocked forward.\u00a0 Her ears buzzed and her musk distracted her to no end.\u00a0 She tried to picture someone, anyone behind her.\u00a0 On top of her.\u00a0 Taking her.\u00a0 But, her thoughts were jumbled and she simply rutted, rocking her hips and swollen ass as her orgasm built.<\/p>\n

Trish’s panties snapped against the strain as she slammed her hips down hard, pushing back over and over.\u00a0 Her small bed creaked beneath her and she called out, growing more wild as she rubbed her scent over her territory.\u00a0 Her pubic hair thickened, silver and white hairs overcoming the natural black until her sex was nearly completely covered.\u00a0 The fur trapped her scent causing her to grow even more crazed.<\/p>\n

When the orgasm crashed through her body, Trish gripped the sheets.\u00a0 She raised her head, mouth open with her thick tongue lolling between blackening lips.\u00a0 She moaned, loud and deep, calling out with her need as her sex soaked the bed.<\/p>\n

The young woman collapsed, panting as the whites nearly disappeared completely from her eyes. Blood trailed down her forward, coursing along her nose as the two bumps broke through her skin, exposing glistening white bone.\u00a0 She blinked slowly and then closed her eyes as sleep took her.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Trish woke to the sound of her phone ringing from the hallway.\u00a0 She groaned, blinking her eyes.\u00a0 Her mouth tasted like sour wine and her head ached.\u00a0 The phone rang out once more and was silent.\u00a0 Rolling over, she saw pale light coming through her blinds.\u00a0 The air was stale and sharp, filled with something that made her wrinkle her small nose.\u00a0 Despite the nearly acrid scent, something stirred within her core and she frowned at the feeling.<\/p>\n

Slowly, the young woman pushed herself up onto her elbows and sat up.\u00a0 She looked down in surprise to see she was completely nude.\u00a0 Her bra was on the other side of the bed and her thick red blankets were bundled around the foot of the bed.\u00a0 Little brown, black and white hairs seemed to cover her body and she frowned at them.\u00a0 The bed seemed to be lined with the same hairs.\u00a0 She brushed at the ones on her body and they fell away.<\/p>\n

Despite the chill morning air, she felt pleasantly warm and relaxed.\u00a0 Trish grabbed her bra and then hunted for her panties.\u00a0 Pulling the blanket back onto the bed, she paused, frowning again at a large white spot near the corner of the blanket.\u00a0 The scent from earlier hit her hard and she pinched her nose.\u00a0 The scent was cloying, nearly overpowering and not exactly pleasant but… she found herself breathing deeply of it.<\/p>\n

Trish ran a finger along her vagina, bringing her fingers up to inspect them.\u00a0 The bit of liquid was clear and smelled very, very faintly like the spot on the blanket.\u00a0 She frowned and made a mental note to make an appointment with her OB\/GYN.\u00a0 She scratched at the smooth skin of her lower belly and then, with an ‘ah-hah!’ pulled her panties from under the blankets.<\/p>\n

“What the hell,” she whispered, turning the panties over in her hands.\u00a0 They were torn, snapped at the crotch and smelled just as pungent as the blanket.\u00a0 Trish sat at the edge of her bed, frowning.\u00a0 Scratching lightly at her legs, she thought back to the night before.\u00a0 She clearly remembered the bar. \u00a0She’d felt out of it but she’d never left her seat and they’d poured the wine straight from the unopened bottle.\u00a0 She remembered coming home alone but from there, her memories became vague.\u00a0 She could picture herself in bed.\u00a0 And alone.\u00a0 So, what in the world happened?<\/p>\n

Standing, the young woman padded over to the entryway.\u00a0 She tossed her ruined panties into the trash.\u00a0 Her bra she placed in the clothes hamper, unaware of the twisted, broken clasps that would no longer hold the bra in place.\u00a0 Her door was locked and her keys were on the floor near her shoes.\u00a0 A sudden memory of her dropping her keys when she came inside flashed through her mind. She relaxed a little as she realized she’d had to be alone.\u00a0 Had been alone.\u00a0 Digging in jacket, she found her cellphone.\u00a0 She had three missed calls from Tina.<\/p>\n

“Worried about me, huh?”\u00a0 She said quietly.\u00a0 Trish dialed her friend back and then spoke when she answered.\u00a0 “Yeah, hi, sorry I didn’t answer.\u00a0 I guess I was pretty out of it.\u00a0 No, yeah, I’m fine.\u00a0 Just feeling a bit hung over.\u00a0 How about you two?\u00a0 Are you… okay?\u00a0 Yeah?\u00a0 No, no reason.\u00a0 Just asking.\u00a0 Yeah. Yeah, I’ll come over later tonight.\u00a0 Yup, see you then!”<\/p>\n

Trish put her phone and keys on the stand by the front door.\u00a0 Crossing her arms against her warm, bare chest, she thought for a moment.\u00a0 They all drank from the same bottle<\/em>, she told herself.\u00a0 They’re all fine.\u00a0 Maybe I’m just coming down with something.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

As the young woman bent down to move her boots, her hips clicked painfully.\u00a0 She hissed through her teeth and stood immediately, pressing against her lower back.\u00a0 Something moved in her back, a bone or something else and the feeling of it sent an uncomfortable shiver up her spine.\u00a0 She pressed it a bit more and then twisted in a circle.\u00a0 The bones clicked but less painfully and she reached down to touch her toes, her small breasts pressing against her smooth, thin thighs.\u00a0 She stood and felt another small click but it was painless this time.<\/p>\n

Scratching lightly around her stomach and belly button, Trish chewed her bottom lip.\u00a0 Finally she shrugged and made another mental appointment for a chiropractor visit.\u00a0 Nobody would be open until after the holidays but she didn’t feel bad or sick.\u00a0 When she peed, she felt no burning and the smell from the bedroom was nearly gone.<\/p>\n

Putting aside the worries, she started a warm shower and stepped in, washing off the few remaining hairs as she made her plans for the day.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

By 6 PM, Trish was beginning to feel anxious.\u00a0 She couldn’t put her finger on why but she felt impatient and full of strange energy.\u00a0 Worse, she found herself becoming aroused as the day progressed.\u00a0 She noticed it starting a little past noon.\u00a0 It was easy to ignore but as the time wore on, it grew worse.\u00a0 She was still able to ignore it but she felt it as a heat low in her stomach and a dull, somehow pleasurable ache in her gums.\u00a0 Several times throughout the day she caught herself grinding her teeth.<\/p>\n

Scratching at her forehead, she dialed Tina’s cell.<\/p>\n

“Hey,” Trish said, scratching the other side of her head.\u00a0 “Yeah.\u00a0 Hey.\u00a0 What are we doing tonight again?\u00a0 Well, hey, what if we went out instead?\u00a0 I think I need to get out and do something.\u00a0 I can’t seem to sit still.\u00a0 No, yeah, I’m fine.\u00a0 It’s weird, you know?”<\/p>\n

Trish rolled her shoulders while she spoke.\u00a0 She stood, stomping at the ground for a moment before pacing her living room.\u00a0 Her fingers found their way to her belly and she rubbed at it.<\/p>\n

“Are you sure?” Trish asked.\u00a0 “You don’t mind?\u00a0 I could go out myself but I’d feel bad since we were all going to hang out.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 No, he won’t be there.\u00a0 I’m going to see him again after the holidays.\u00a0 Probably next weekend.”<\/p>\n

Her fingers pressed down into her pants to play with the short black hair there.\u00a0 Slowly, she reached up, shivering at her own touch as her fingers clawed against her skin.\u00a0 A single white hair sprouted among the black above her pussy.<\/p>\n

“Great!\u00a0 Thanks!\u00a0 In about thirty minutes?\u00a0 I’ll get a car there since I might have a bit to drink.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Yes, I’ll be good.\u00a0 Well, no, I mean, we’ve only met once and we’re not exclusive at all.”<\/p>\n

Two more white hairs joined the first.\u00a0 The skin below her hairline dented out almost imperceptibly in two spots.\u00a0 Trish tossed her head back with a quick snort.<\/p>\n

“If anyone is the hussy, it’s you, Tina.\u00a0 I’m going to grab a few things and then head out.\u00a0 See you soon!\u00a0 Love you!”<\/p>\n

The young woman rubbed at the sore spot in her lower back.\u00a0 It was warm to the touch and seemed swollen but it felt so good to touch it.\u00a0 Her fingers pressed at it and the little bump moved beneath her fingers.\u00a0 The skin felt almost silky there, covered beneath tiny brown and white hairs.\u00a0 She pressed at the spot with the heel of her hand and then shivered.<\/p>\n

“Time to get ready, you,” she told herself.\u00a0 She’d spent the day inside, naked, with the heater off.\u00a0 She’d briefly considered getting dressed but had just felt warm and comfortable without clothes.\u00a0 Trish had even turned off the heater completely when she found herself sweating because of it.<\/p>\n

Taking her time, she padded around the bare wooden floors to find her clothes.\u00a0 She picked a pair of silky black panties that elicited a quiet, happy little moan as they slid along her sensitive bare legs.\u00a0 The matching bra was on the floor of the closet and she fumbled behind herself to put it on.\u00a0 Standing in front of the closet mirror, she placed a hand on her bare, flat belly and turned back and forth to admire how she looked.\u00a0 Petite, lithe and sexy.<\/p>\n

She turned to find a dress as a few white hairs sprouted beneath her belly button.<\/p>\n

Trish found her red dress on the back of her recliner.\u00a0 She grabbed it and stepped into it, zipping up the side.\u00a0 The next ten minutes she spent in front of the mirror, touching up her hair.\u00a0 She frowned at the bumps on her forward.\u00a0 Pressing on them, she felt how solid they were.\u00a0 Ultimately, she decided they’d be impossible to see, especially in a dark club.\u00a0 However, she made sure to clean her face especially well and wipe a second time with the makeup remover.\u00a0 A bit of eyeliner and red lipstick completed her look.<\/p>\n

On the way out, she settled for her black heels.\u00a0 She stepped into them and turned to look at how her calves stood out.\u00a0 A slow, sinful smile crossed her lips and she closed her eyes, breathing deeply.\u00a0 The scent was back and stronger.\u00a0 How’d she ever think it smelled bad?\u00a0 Her body reacted to it and she felt her insides loosen as she grew wet.<\/p>\n

Maybe someone will get lucky tonight<\/em>, she thought, still smiling.\u00a0 It was completely unlike her but she couldn’t help feeding off of the energy coursing through her.\u00a0 She wanted to move and dance and… the thought trailed off with a shiver that raised hairs along her arms and the back of her neck.\u00a0 An empty ache had begun to form between her legs.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

The car met her outside and she settled into it, making small talk with the driver.\u00a0 Small brown hairs sprouted lazily down the longer black hairs at the nape of her neck.\u00a0 They grew past the black hair to disappear below her dress.\u00a0 Trish’s ears flicked at the noise around her, distracting her.<\/p>\n

Soon, the car arrived at the club and the young woman stepped out of the car, thanking the driver.\u00a0 She stomped both feet, frowning at the ache she felt in her toes.\u00a0 She hadn’t brought extra shoes so she decided to just ignore it.\u00a0 Trish fairly stalked towards the club.\u00a0 Skin pushed out above her ass.\u00a0 The small, lightly furred bulge of her new tail tried to flick beneath the tight dress.<\/p>\n

High in the sky, the full moon hung bright and alone.\u00a0 Trish glanced up at it and shivered as electricity raced down her spine.<\/p>\n

Trish eyed the bouncer as she went inside.\u00a0 He was large but fat and, to her, quite ugly.\u00a0 She glanced at his legs and chest and then continued on, dismissing him.\u00a0 Instead, she looked around for her friends.\u00a0 Her ears flicked at the noise, the DJ shouting over the speakers, bass thumping the entire building and people cheering.\u00a0 Her nose flared to take in their scents but hers overpowered all of them.\u00a0 A small part of her was disappointed; she found herself searching for a certain smell but unaware of what it was.\u00a0 She just knew that something<\/em><\/strong> was missing.<\/p>\n

The young woman stomped and shook her head as she looked around.\u00a0 Not seeing her friends, she made her way to the bar.\u00a0 Brown fur, mixed with white sprouted along her spine, cross-crossing each other until they reached the small of her back.\u00a0 Trish looked the bartender up and down but immediately dismissed him as too small.<\/p>\n

“I’d like two shots of Fireball, please!” she yelled at him.\u00a0 The man nodded silently and left to grab her drinks.\u00a0 Trish turned to look around the room.\u00a0 She glanced for her friends but found herself looking at every male in the club instead.\u00a0 Her ears flicked and burned as she looked at an occasional crotch, wondering what it was hiding. She turned when she heard her drinks set down and immediately slammed one of them.\u00a0 It burned going down and she gasped.\u00a0 Licking her lips with a tongue thicker than normal, she turned around, idly rubbing her back against the edge of the bar. So many males,<\/em>she thought happily. So many-<\/em><\/p>\n

Trish sat on one of the stools at the bar with a gasp.\u00a0 Her right leg had seized up and knotted painfully.\u00a0 She massaged the calf muscle and it twitched beneath her fingers.\u00a0 She could feel the skin, oddly smooth and marbled.\u00a0 The muscle was skin was taut over hard muscle.\u00a0 Her left leg spasmed and she massaged it in turn, feeling the muscles harden and expand under her fingers without understanding what was happening beyond thinking she had a charley horse.<\/p>\n

And, then, she saw him.\u00a0 He was tall, easily over six feet.\u00a0 Bald but muscular with a deep chest and thick legs.\u00a0 He seemed to be dancing between women with no solid partner.\u00a0 She scented the air, tasting for him but found nothing.\u00a0 Still, she grew wet looking at him.\u00a0 Virile.\u00a0 Powerful.\u00a0 A new,\u00a0 irresistible instinct pushed her forward.\u00a0 She turned, choked down the second shot and then stumbled forward.\u00a0 Her big toes and the two toes nearby had fused into a single mass on each foot.<\/p>\n

Straightening, she continued forward.\u00a0 Sweat coursed down her body.\u00a0 Light fur grew between her breasts in a sparse line.\u00a0 Her small tail flicked beneath her dress and she walked with her legs wide to spread her scent.<\/p>\n

Trish stopped and shook her head.<\/p>\n

“What… what am I doing?”\u00a0 She looked around the room, consumed by the noise and flickering lights.\u00a0 Her heart raced.\u00a0 Rational thoughts fought with new, basic urges.\u00a0 She ached<\/em><\/strong> deep within.\u00a0 The young woman shivered and then stomped her foot, shaking her head to clear it.\u00a0 Fur grew along the edge of her ears and they flicked, trying to track all the sounds around her.\u00a0 Her breasts were sore beneath her bra and she felt it tighten painfully into her chest.\u00a0 Her breasts began to swell slowly, overflowing from the small bra and her dress bulged slightly to contain them.<\/p>\n

“I… I shouldn’t…”\u00a0 Shaking her head again, she huffed into the humid air.\u00a0 She remembered Benjamin.\u00a0 And her friends.\u00a0 She was supposed to wait for them and have a night of dancing.\u00a0 She was… Trish looked again at the male dancing near the corner.\u00a0 She moaned and her hips dipped.\u00a0 She could feel her wetness between her thighs.\u00a0 The mere sight of him and how strong he was drove her mad.\u00a0 She could almost feel<\/em><\/strong> his large, strong hands on her.<\/p>\n

“No,” Trish struggled, shaking her head again.\u00a0 Her toes continued to press together in her shoes until all five on both of her feet were connected.\u00a0 The young woman stomped a foot and pawed, breathing heavily.\u00a0 Her wide tail pushed out a little more, curving down over her the bulge of her ass.\u00a0 Her ears burned, pounding with her need.\u00a0 She licked her lips, eyes wide and nearly completely black.\u00a0 Her thick tongue lapped up at her nose.\u00a0 Black lines appeared beneath the red of her lips, darkening the color.<\/p>\n

Moaning, Trish pressed a hand against her stomach and then down, as if her touch could feed the ache within her.<\/p>\n

She needed to rut.\u00a0 Everyone around her became shapeless forms moving to the beat.\u00a0 She moved, making her way to the male.\u00a0 A wicked smile crossed her lips when he noticed her.<\/p>\n

He is mine<\/strong><\/em>, she thought.\u00a0 Mine.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Trish turned, pressing her ass against the male.\u00a0 She rubbed her scent on him, rocking her hips while looking back at him.\u00a0 He grinned at her and grabbed her hips.\u00a0 Trish bucked at his touch, moaning low.\u00a0 He danced while she found every opportunity to rub against him.\u00a0 To mark him.\u00a0 Sound and sights blended together until all she knew was his touch and the smell of him.<\/p>\n

Mid-dance, Trish fell against the male when muscles in her thighs began to expand.\u00a0 She lost her balance and he held her tight, his hands exploring her body.\u00a0 Sweating and in pain from her legs reshaping, Trish panted in his arms.<\/p>\n

I’m… where… club?\u00a0 Where… where Tina?\u00a0 I… oh god…\u00a0 I… need.\u00a0 Need.<\/em>\u00a0 Trish’s legs expanded beneath her dress, muscles bulging against skin pulled tight.\u00a0 Rock hard muscle formed above her large calves.\u00a0 Fine white and brown fur began to sprout along the top of the thighs, racing up to her hips.\u00a0 Her dress strained, swelling as her ass began to expand.\u00a0 Thick with muscle beneath a layer of fat, her hips and ass pushed against the dress until it threatened to split.\u00a0 Trish pawed triumphantly against the ground, strong muscles causing her feet to crack loudly against the bare floor.\u00a0 Energy coursed through her.\u00a0 She felt like she could dance all night.\u00a0 Run all night.<\/p>\n

Fuck all night.<\/p>\n

Reaching behind her, Trish grabbed the male’s hand, guiding it to her crotch and breasts encouragingly.\u00a0 He leaned forward eagerly, nipping at her ears.\u00a0 She rubbed hard against his erection, no longer dancing.<\/p>\n

“Hey,” the man said, voice rough with his excitement.\u00a0 “You want to get out of her and go back to my place?”<\/p>\n

Trish could barely understand his words but his intentions were clear.\u00a0 She nodded and followed when he took her hand, guiding her through the club.\u00a0 Her ears lengthened, thickening with rough skin while light, silky fur continued to cover them.\u00a0 The fur between her breasts grew down to her stomach, already slick with the sweat covering her body.<\/p>\n

Beneath her shoes, her toenails expanded, pushing back at the skin of her toes as they grew out.\u00a0 One of the straps holding her feet snapped and she stumbled, kicking away the shoe.\u00a0 The other shoe broke and she kicked it away, too.\u00a0 The young woman limped on awkward feet, thick toenails occasionally clicking on the ground.<\/p>\n

Cool night air slammed into Trish when they stepped outside.\u00a0 And, yet, she still felt like she was burning up.\u00a0 With little human thought left, she tugged at her dress.<\/p>\n

“Whoa, hey,” the man said, glancing around.\u00a0 “Eager, huh?\u00a0 Well… huh.\u00a0 I guess…\u00a0 You sure?\u00a0 You’re okay, right?\u00a0 I’m not gonna get fucked up over this, am I?”\u00a0 When Trish continued to struggle out of her dress, the man glanced around again and pulled her down the street and into a side alley.<\/p>\n

Trish became frustrated with her dress.\u00a0 She couldn’t comprehend it any more.\u00a0 She needed it off of her.\u00a0 She need the male.\u00a0 She needed<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Failing with the dress, she turned, pressing her hands against the wall to shove her ass towards him.\u00a0 It was his<\/em><\/strong> job to take her.\u00a0 To figure this out.\u00a0 Fur sprouted along her forearms, growing in slow waves up to her biceps.<\/p>\n

The man tugged at the bottom of Trish’s dress.\u00a0 He grunted and pulled and the already straining dress tore down the bottom, exposing her large ass and thick thighs.\u00a0 Her spine cracked quietly, pushing her forward.\u00a0 She grew taller to match her new frame, muscle and bone and nerves forming in her back.\u00a0 Her bra slid down her growing breasts, unable to contain them any longer.\u00a0 The front of her dress bulged further, barely holding her large, heavy breasts.\u00a0 White fur crept up from her belly and along her sides.\u00a0 The man grabbed her breasts roughly through her dress and she bleated in encouragement, her nose growing wider as her jaw cracked.<\/p>\n

Her dress hid her tail as it tried to move.\u00a0 The man reached up and ripped her panties free with a quiet, rough ‘sorry’.\u00a0 Her scent flooded the air and the man coughed, shaking his head.\u00a0 He blinked rapidly but his eyes became glazed, as if he was staring a thousand miles away.\u00a0 He became more rough with her, her musk driving him forward.\u00a0 He no longer spoke but, instead, grunted.\u00a0 His hands slid around her hips and her fur grew up between his fingers.\u00a0 Her dress ripped further, freeing her tail and it flicked up to expose her now furred ass.<\/p>\n

Grunting and growling, the man pressed against her, breathing ever more deeply of the smell that was driving him mad.\u00a0 Trish pounded her head against the wall, scraping her forhead over and over on the rough bricks.\u00a0 Blood traced down her face but she kept rubbing and scraping.\u00a0 The man ripped the rest of the dress and it fell to the ground beneath her.<\/p>\n

The two small nubs on her forehead began to grow into small antlers.\u00a0 Velvet fuzz covered the base of them and slowly grew up as her antlers branched out.<\/p>\n

Trish’s hips cracked and only the man’s hands kept her standing.\u00a0 Her hips widened further and her mound pushed out, pulling her pussy with it.\u00a0 Her small, compact pussy lengthened, the new long lips winking in her excitement.\u00a0 The man’s large cock rubbed against her pussy and she bleated for him.<\/p>\n

The man guided himself into her and she called out loudly and then coughed, spitting blood as her jaw cracked, pushing her muzzle forward.\u00a0 Her long, thick tongue lapped at her now wide, flat nose as it blackened, shining wetly in the nearby streetlight.<\/p>\n

The young woman’s antlers clacked loudly against the wall when the man shoved roughly into her.\u00a0 Trish stomped and her hooves cracked against the ground.\u00a0 She pressed herself back with her furred hands and arms.\u00a0 He wasn’t enough.\u00a0 She would’ve been in pain if he’d fucked her before her change but, now, she needed more.\u00a0 But, he was all she had and it felt amazing.<\/p>\n

Leaning forward, the man wrapped his arms around Trish’s heavily furred body.\u00a0 His hands explored her body, squeezing her heavy, full breasts and twisting her nipples.\u00a0 Clear liquid dripped from Trish’s nipples as new milk ducts.\u00a0 He no longer had the presence of mind to question why she wasn’t human.\u00a0 All he knew was he had to have her.\u00a0 To fuck her.<\/p>\n

Lightning arched in her body.\u00a0 Trish tossed her head, cracking her antlers against the wall and nearly hitting the man behind her.\u00a0 She pawed at the ground on heavy hooves as she slammed her large, full ass back against the man, bleating and moaning as his strange, human cock filled her.\u00a0 The man growled, lost in a daze from her musk.\u00a0 He bit at her long, furred ears and clawed down her stomach.\u00a0 Trish bucked, feeling her orgasm growing.\u00a0 Her ears flicked as heat bloomed up her chest, along her cheeks and up to her ears.<\/p>\n

As the man’s cock slammed into her over and over, her huge, furred breasts flopped beneath her.\u00a0 Trish’s wide, short tail shook from the pleasure and excitement she felt from her mate rutting with her.\u00a0 She lost herself in it.\u00a0 In the pleasure of it.\u00a0 Dreaming of thick, bulbous red cocks filling her completely.\u00a0 Of fucking in the woods.\u00a0 Being on all fours while a powerful male stood above her.\u00a0 The man’s hands gripped her powerful, large hips, digging into the thick muscles along her stomach.\u00a0 Her large, dark nipples rubbed against the wall with every pounding, sending shocks down to her engorged, sopping wet furred pussy.\u00a0 It was almost painful but the pleasure of it far outweighed the pain.<\/p>\n

The man gripped her tight.\u00a0 Painfully.\u00a0 He groaned, teeth biting into the thick fur along her shoulders.\u00a0 She felt him expand deep within her.\u00a0 Filling her.\u00a0 His cock surging over and over again.\u00a0 She slammed back and rocked her hips, angling until…<\/p>\n

Trish bellowed loudly into the night.\u00a0 Thick white cum dribbled between her long, black pussy lips, mingling with the fur around her crotch.\u00a0 The man tried to pump into her again and she encouraged him, bowing down and raising her hips.<\/p>\n

“Hey!”\u00a0 A voice cried out from the alley.\u00a0 “What the fuck is this?!”<\/p>\n

Body slick with sweat and cum, head swimming with thoughts of rutting and other animalistic urges, Trish bleated out in panic at the voice and sudden appearance of the other man.\u00a0 She bolted, bucking and jumping, hooves cracking and sliding awkwardly along the ground as she ran.\u00a0 She pushed past the other man, shoving with her antlers.\u00a0 Her mate, still wild from her musk, roared and charged at the challenger, punching him over and over.\u00a0 A crowd gathered around the two men, pulling them apart as Trish vanished into the night.<\/p>\n

—–<\/p>\n

Trish groaned, shifting as her eyes fluttered.\u00a0 She blinked and then closed her eyes.\u00a0 Sounds slowly came to her.\u00a0 Chirping birds.\u00a0 Branches cracking.<\/p>\n

With a gasp, the young woman sat up, adrenaline pounding through her body.\u00a0 She was nude and covered in dirt and twigs and leaves.\u00a0 Her entire body ached and she had numerous bruises and scratches.\u00a0 Beneath all of it was the scent of her own musk and the smell of sex.\u00a0 Her small, pert breasts ached and her nipples were sore.<\/p>\n

Flashes of the night before came to her then.\u00a0 What had happened.\u00a0 What she’d done.\u00a0 All too real to be a dream, even without her finding herself nude in the middle of the forest.\u00a0 She stared at her hand and then looked herself over.\u00a0 Small loose brown and white hairs still covered her body.\u00a0 She reached up to touch her forehead but only found smooth, unbroken skin.\u00a0 Trish curled up, holding her knees to her chest, too shocked to cry.<\/p>\n

After some time, the young woman forced herself to stand.\u00a0 She should’ve been freezing but she still felt warm.\u00a0 Gritting her teeth, she at least counted that as a blessing.\u00a0 Slowly, tentatively, she made her way out of the forest.\u00a0 She had an idea of where she was and it was confirmed when she saw the little sign for the local park.\u00a0 Ten blocks away from her house.\u00a0 Two miles away from the club.<\/p>\n

Had anyone seen her?\u00a0 Had she somehow known where to go last night?\u00a0 Even as she was?\u00a0 Tears and more threatened to come but she forced herself forward.\u00a0 Slowly.\u00a0 Thankful that it was the morning after Christmas, the young woman made her away to her home.\u00a0 Moving from house to house, watching for cars and open windows, she was surprised at how easy it was to avoid people.<\/p>\n

Only when she reached her house did she realize she didn’t have her keys.\u00a0 Or her cellphone.\u00a0 Or her purse.\u00a0 The panic was quickly settled when she remembered that she’d hidden a key the last time she’d gotten trashed with her friends.\u00a0 At their Halloween party, she’d forgotten everything at her friend’s house and had to wait outside until Kelly realized she’d left her things.<\/p>\n

Trish found the small rock in the back yard, lifted it and took the key from underneath.\u00a0 She wasted no time getting inside.<\/p>\n

The young woman sobbed in the shower until the water ran cold.\u00a0 And, even then, cried harder when she realized she could barely feel how cold it was.\u00a0 How changed she was now.\u00a0 She roused herself when someone knocked on her door.\u00a0 Sniffling, she got out and wrapped herself in a towel.\u00a0 The face at the door was vaguely recognizable.\u00a0 She opened the door as far as the security chain would allow.<\/p>\n

“Miss, I’m sorry,” the man told her.\u00a0 He was young and clean shaven and earnest.\u00a0 “You forgot your cellphone in my car last night.\u00a0 I’m so sorry to have bothered you.”<\/p>\n

The man pushed the cellphone through the opening and turned to leave.<\/p>\n

“Oh my god, thank you!” Trish yelled.\u00a0 “I’m… I’m sorry, I’m only wearing a towel or I’d open the door.\u00a0 I… should… oh, I’m really really sorry, I know how it sounds but I don’t have my wallet.\u00a0 I can’t pay you for this.”<\/p>\n

“Oh, no,” the man said, waving his hands.\u00a0 “You don’t need to pay me.\u00a0 I just hope you’re okay.\u00a0 If you want, you could just leave a good review when you have a moment?\u00a0 With the driving service?”<\/p>\n

“Absolutely!\u00a0 Thank you so much!\u00a0 You have no idea how happy I am.”\u00a0 Tears rolled down the young woman’s cheeks.\u00a0 She closed the door and collapsed, hugging her phone to her chest.<\/p>\n

After a moment, she looked over to see she’d kicked her shopping bag from the other night.\u00a0 The calendar had fallen out and lay open on December, 2015.\u00a0 A large reindeer wearing a bright red and green Christmas sweater was the image above the month.\u00a0 Trish stared at it, slowly blinking her eyes.\u00a0 December 25th was outlined in a shaky, red circle.\u00a0 The young woman glanced at the date and then back up at the reindeer.\u00a0 She reached forward, pulling the calendar into her lap.<\/p>\n

In the corner of the square for December 25th was a black circle.\u00a0 Below the square was a computer printed note:\u00a0 “Full Moon”.<\/p>\n

It all clicked for her.\u00a0 It felt ridiculous but, staring at the photo and the circled date with the note compared to what she could remember, nothing else made sense.\u00a0 It was impossible but she couldn’t deny what had happened.<\/p>\n

With a shaky hand, she turned the page to see a fluffy sheep wearing a funny hat above the calendar for January.\u00a0 January 24th was circled this time.\u00a0 A little description was printed in the bottom of the image:\u00a0 “January marks the end of the year of the Wooden Sheep!”<\/p>\n

Trish’s eyes slid off of the page and she stared into the distance, thinking of nothing.\u00a0 She knew she’d have to figure everything out soon but, for now, she just sat.\u00a0 And stared.\u00a0 Her hand idly rubbed her lower stomach, thumb playing over a single, white hair below her belly button.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
