Transformation Storyline 2

From WorkCDN

As the villain makes his exit you see him drop a note on the window sill. The note reads:

“Dear Hero, Due to the fact that you were so difficult to find and the expenses of maintaining an evil organization we could not afford to pay our henchmen to do nothing while we searched for you. Because of this we currently have a week long head start on our operations. During this time we ordered all newly acquired servants to not commit any hostilities until you were notified of the situation plus a one week grace period. During the grace period we will still be growing our population of servants, the only restriction is the hostilities of these servants toward you and you only. You have now been officially notified, you have one week to prepare. May your luck run sour.

Sincerely the Union of Lost Minds”

You hear a meow from down stairs and think to your self “We don’t have any cats, um no it couldn’t it be” then you realize that you have barely left your room for the last week, you have just sat in front of your computer all day every day, only leaving for meals in the upstairs kitchen. You also remember that you haven’t seen your parents in a long time. So you cautiously exit your room and go down the stairs…

When you make it to the bottom of the stairs you look around. First thing you notice is the large number of plants that have appeared in the room, never before has the room had such a smell of greenery which catches you a little of guard since you rarely explored the great outside of your door. As you walk into the room you suddenly stumble and fall. Upon standing again you look to see what caused your fall. Upon inspection you discover a ball of yarn. Looking across the room’s floor since someone obviously neglected to clean up recently you spy a large number of such yarn balls and you see someone’s feet. Looking further up you see that the feet belong to your mother who seems to be having a “ball”. Her facial expression is filled with almost drunken happiness. Unfortunately her face was that of a cat.

Then things start to click together about what is happening. The meow was that of your mother, who is having cat like fun with a yarn ball, who is energized to almost drunkenness from the plant you now realize to be catnip. Now the question you ask yourself is “What do I do now?”. You try calling to her, which has little effect beyond the fact that she looked up for a brief second to see what the noise was. Seeing that she was to preoccupied to even listen to you, you try to take the ball of yarn away from her. This only leads to you getting scratched by her still human nails(obviously thinking claws though her hands had not the form).

After thinking a long while he remember a Bible story he heard at church a while back(one of the few things he left his room for). The story was about a man named Gideon whom God commanded to make a sacrifice of his father’s idols. He also remembered that Gideon feared his family(Check, I fear the possibility of being scratched again by my mother, my face has suffered enough damage) and the men of the city so he did this deed at night while everyone slept. You think “Doing it while she sleeps, um that might be a good idea but doesn’t look like it will happen soon, too much of this catnip around. Then it hits you to remove the catnip. “Why didn’t I think of it before, she probably doesn’t even know that is why she is so energetic so she probably won’t even bother me while I dispose of it“. You start gathering up all the cat nip and placing it in a pile outside. You gather together some stones to make an altar and burn the catnip much like the wood of the grove owned by Gideon’s Father, figured it would be a fitting offering to God for the information he led you to for solving your problem.

You go back in to find our mother fast asleep(the catnip high obviously wore her out). You gather up the yarn balls and cast them on the still raging fire outside with the catnip. You think to yourself “it may not be a bullock but it sure is heavy as one“. You wait until your offering has been completed(no need to have a possibly still existent fire department on your tail for leaving a fire unattended) and proceed to go to bed since your mother isn’t likely to wake up in the near future. During the night you are plagued by nightmares of unwilling becoming a cat. Upon awakening you shake these thoughts from your mind and proceed to check on your mother.

You find your mother still asleep and call her name to wake her. As she awakes she lets out a loud meow like yawn, stretches and sits up in the spot she fell asleep on the floor. The first thing she says is "Mewhere Mis mey toy I don't Mreally know why I had so much fun with a ball of yarn, I had alot of fun with it the whole mweek". You tell you mother to come with you to the bathroom. Once you tell your mother "this may be quite a shock to you though it should have been fairly obvious if you thought about the various things you have done. Please try to remain calm and look into the mirror, I will attempt to explain once you have done so".

Your mother looks into the mirror and you see a look of shock cross her eyes. You are thankful she hasn't screamed(it would be quite painful at this range and you doubt your mother would appreciate the sound of her own scream right now with her currently sensitive ears). Your mother asks "Is this really me?", You answer "Yes and No, everything you see as yourself is yours, you can move your ears and whiskers right?". To which your mother nods. You continue " Well you can return to normal so what you see would no longer be a part of you and return to it's original form which should actually be the head piece to a costume." Your mother looking rather intellectual replies "So you are telling me my head is actual part of a costume? Sure doesn't feel like it to me".

You are slightly irritated by your mother's doubt and determine that you will have to show her. Without saying anything you take off your backpack and start going through the content. Watching your silent rummaging your mother's current cat like curiosity gets the better of her and she looks over your shoulders as you pull out the pair of gloves.

Your mother jumps back a little at the bright orange color of the gloves comming suddenly out of the darkness within your backpack. She quickly regains her composure and notice the hands of the long orange gloves look alot like cat paws. She a little worried and still getting over the surprise exclaims "Don't tell me those gloves become real!". You nod silently and begin the put on the gloves and to your mother's dismay they slowly tranform your hands and arms. You then ask your mother "Feel free to see how real this is, just please try not to pull to hard on the fur it hurts as I am sure you would find true for yourself as well". Your mother pokes and tugs various areas of your hands and arms and sees that the transformation is indeed a part of you. You decide to add "Make sure you also try to take these gloves off me especially at the seem, that will be important shortly".

Your mother complies and tries every method and angle she can think of and fails as you expected. You tell her "You can stop now, are you satisfied that what has happened to us is very real". Your mother nods in the affirmative. Now reaching up to the seem of the gloves where they meet the human flesh at your shoulder you tell you mother "As I have shown you, this can not be taken off easily by another person, it might as well be real, but". You begin to pull down the edges of the gloves. You continue "we can remove them from ourselves". You slowly pull the gloves the rest of the way off as your mother watches in a combination of shock and amazement at your human form returning.

You ask your mother "Please do as I have done and remove your mask". Your mother slowly reaches for the seem at her neck which she barely noticed since it was covered by the collar of her shirt. As she lightly pulls(for fear of the comming pain from pulling her fur out) she is surprised as the fur actually separates from her skin. As she continues pulling upward she feels her cheeks and face compress back into her head and sees the now hollow eyes of the mask from within. She finishes taking off the mask. You notice once the mask is off the residual effects. Your mother's upper lip is white and she still has wiskers. You think to your self "Grah I completely forgot about the after effects, fortunately I didn't have the gloves on long enough for much to happen to me as well." You say to your mother apologetically "I am sorry that I didn't mention it earlier, I honestly forgot in the momentum of the events about the after effects of these costumes".

Your mother responds "What after effects?". You put your hands out before your mother and say "Please take a close look at my hands particularly my nails before you look in the mirror again". Your mother upon looking exclaims "Those nails sure look sharp, you should really cut them". You tell your mother "I tried, but they keep growing back. Well now that you know about this please look at yourself and be prepared to accept what is left of what you became.I shall leave now as you try associate your new face as being your own, and I will take the mask with me for now as it may be dangerous for you to use it again". As you leave the room you hear your mother crying.
