The Cursed Paintbrush- Transformation

"WHAT!" Sabsalinaishia yelled, "You can transform but you didn't tell us!"

"It's not that… Please forgive me, but I think this Shadow Usul bite might have transformed me into my worst nightmares! I'm regretful I chased you two as a Were-Lupe and I'm sorry about not telling anyone about it, but I was so scared of myself! I couldn't even control myself in that form…!" I said truthfully…

"And what happened to you at the Hidden Tower? You seemed to have paint all over yourself… I could smell it from the last time I visited you," said Aqua.

"Yeah, that also happened, it was a Darigan's Paint-brush… The paint spilt over me and transformed me also… It changed me into what I am right now."

"But you know the Shadow Usul, that evil fiend, did something to me today by injecting something and now…" I just cried… It just wasn't fair; I didn't want to become something I wasn't every time I felt weak… Was crying a sign of weakness? I wasn't sure… "How can I look after my Neopets now?"

"I'm not sure, but we'll try to help you, Sabrina!" Sabsalinaishia cheered.

"You can count on us!" smiled Aqua as her blue Scorpachick waved at me…
"Even if I transformed in front of you, guys? (Not that I'll want to!)" I added quickly. My fate seemed very clear now…

"Uhhh… We'll figure it out later!" said Scorpachick, Aqua's blue Kacheek.

Aquachick stood up, "First thing, we'll have to find out what that Shadow Usul and Hubrid Nox injected you with…" Scorpachick cheered 'Yay!'

"But how can we do that?" said Laura… "We don't even know what it was!"

"Well, let's ask Illusen, the Meridell Earth Faerie! She's an expert on potions and medicines like that!" said Jdogsrox, Laura's green Lupe. Laura got up "I'll look after your Neopets for you if you like…"

"Sure!" I smiled, I was so glad I had such good friends…:-D

Meanwhile, Mysteria sneaked into the room! "Hi Aqua, Sabsalinaishia and Scorpachick!" My female Lupe always leapt when she saw me and it was no exception for today. Normally, I would have rubbed her furry belly like always, but I decided not to because of the pain I was experiencing at that moment.

"Hello there," said Sabsalinaishia, "Um; Mysteria… Your mum isn't feeling very well, so I'll have to look after you in the meantime. Is that okay? You can play with Jdogsrox and the others!" Mysteria beamed a bright shiny smile.

Hee-hee, Mysteria always looks so happy and she cheers me up when I see her smile! Hmm… I wonder how she'll react to Sabsalinaishia and Jdogsrox?
"REALLY! Wow, oh wow!" howled Mysteria, "We're going to play! What game shall we play?" she said to Jdogsrox.

"Checkers," said Jdogsrox. The smile dropped from Mysteria's face, she didn't even know how to play Checkers… Scorpachick giggled as she set up the board game and counters.

"How do you play Checkers?" Mysteria asked her friends.

"It's very easy; all you have to do is jump over the opponent's counters."

"Like this?" Mysteria hopped her counters over Jdogsrox's entire team!

"You don't have a clue, do you?" said Jdogsrox in total surprise!
"I'll teach you later," offered Scorpachick to Mysteria. "I've won against him several times in a row! And he's hopeless at winning anyway!"

"Grrrr! Take that comment back!" said Jdogsrox. Scorpachick just laughed.
"You're just jealous that female Neopets are better thinkers than male Neopets!"

As the three Neopets fought over the remaining Checker pieces, Aqua and I decided to visit Illusen straight away, maybe she had a cure for whatever was in the injection… Who knows…

"No, you have to-" stated Scorpa as we began to leave Laura behind at my Neohome…
"Play?" Mysteria's tail wagged hopefully as she held the Checker board in her mouth. She looked so happy at that moment that I was sad to leave her behind in Neopets Central!
