She was falling.

as her subconscious dove into his, images flew past her field of vision. Memories, not wanting to pry she focused her vision ahead of her. As she wove deeper and deeper to find the source of his distress she realized she was gradually picking up speed.

She spread her arms, hoping to slow or suspend her progress, to no avail. Great, why do I always find a way to get myself into these predicaments? Closing her eyes she focused hard. Think slowing thoughts, I'm falling gradually like a feather...I'm moving slowly at an incline like molasses...I'm...picking up speed...

Taking in a deep breath, she tried plan B. Warmth spread over her body, every synapse in her body was firing at the speed of light. Everything hurt, and yet, she had the strange sense of joy tingle through her body. She knew it was her transformation. The burning started in her chest, from her very soul as it spread out in waves. She could feel her muscles contract and expand over and over, as if every muscle in her body was being used at once.

Suddenly there was extreme pressure in her vertebrae. It felt as though someone was stretching and cracking its length. She did all she could to relieve the pressure, flexing her torso as it popped and crunched before the pain moved elsewhere. Clenching her teeth, she winced in pain as her fangs had already begun to show. her attention was drawn to her hands as they began to crack and reform. Her swelling fingers growing pads, and her fingernails reshaped, coming to a point as they became her long claws.

The burning was now moving towards the surface; the heat became intense. She felt fur rip apart her flesh, starting at her abdomen and working its way outward. It burned with every strand, then cooled, Lighting the edges of her skin on fire. The burning stayed at her face, as the pain shot through her jaw and nose—now was the time for her face to change—her face she had known her whole life to shine through. She opened her mouth wide, roaring silently in pain as her jaw burned and stretched as her nose became a muzzle and extended outward. Her ears slid up the side of her head before flattening out into an oval shape.

Her feet and legs which were now cracking, forming her large powerful legs and paws. She stretched each leg backwards, feeling powerful muscles rippling under her skin as it split to reveal her golden fur that was growing and expanding up her legs and back. Her long tail sprouted with a resounding pop as it broke the surface of her skin. Finally. rolling her jaw experimentally she returned to the predicament at hand.

Allowing her energy to spread through her limbs, she used it to extend her reach. Finding nothing but particles of memories and mathematical equations flow through her claws.

Darn. Not wanting to create a tear by extending her reach further, she withdrew her powers. A light started to engulf her as she plummeted towards a nightmare. Squinting, she struggled against the pull. Passing through the thin membrane, she watched as the landscape changed from flashing images to stone and slate. Crud, and I'm still increasing in speed. Well, as Ethan would say...BRACE YOURSELVES!

Tucking her limbs under her she hit the floor with a resounding Whump.

OOOOk...not my best landing. she swiveled her ears, following the echo of her landing as it split down the two tunnels ahead of her. So much for the element of surprise, I can almost hear Ethan cheering that he no longer is the only one who makes nosy landings. Continuing on all fours, she prowled down one of the tunnels entrances. Hearing nothing but echos of salt water residue hitting the slate floor she turned to the other. Listening hard, she heard the exact same sounds from this entrance.

How am I supposed to help someone, if I can't even FIND them?

Quietly she placed her back against the wall in between the two tunnels, she sat down in the lotus position. Lets see if this Meditating thing, with the whole "expanding your mind into your surroundings" works... Sending out feelers as far as she could, finding not a living soul.

Am I too late?
