Fang and I were just standing there in the bathroom stall, staring at each other's new...features. I noticed it was only his hands that were like mine, and quickly reached up to touch my face. As far as I could tell, I still possessed regular human features everywhere else. Well, as "human" as a bird kid can be anyway.
I started to try and say something, but I lost it in a choking sob. I still couldn't believe that Fang was about to break down as well.
"I think I'm getting those headaches you keep talking about as well," he said, looking straight into my eyes. I tried to look away but couldn't bring myself to do so, and instead I reached out and wrapped my arms around him, burying my face into his shoulder. I think I had been crying for a few minutes before I heard Angel talking to someone outside the bathroom door. The flock's in trouble, Max, my Voice said.
"Well Fang and I aren't..." I started to shout into Fang's shoulder, then noticed I must sound crazy. He simply looked at me and nodded, realizing I was talking to the Voice. Quietly I continued. "We aren't exactly in the best condition either if you hadn't noticed."
Look at your hands. With a surge of curiosity and confusion, I did as the Voice said...and was amazed. My hands, as well as Fang's, were changing back into regular skin and regular fingernails. No claws, no fur. All's good. I think.
"Fang, Fang look!" I held one of his hands up for him to see, and he seemed to be a mirror image of what I thought I must've looked like.
The clock is ticking Max, and your flock is in trouble! The Voice was becoming an annoyance again, but I told Fang what it said anyway.
Sighing, Fang took his arms off my waist where they had been that whole time. "We'll figure this out later. Let's just go for now."
With a final sniffle, I nodded and opened the door for him to get out. As we walked by the mirror, I couldn't help but check again. No Eraser Max. No problems.
Well, I thought there were no problems. That is until we got out of the bathroom and saw Angel staring straight at three fully grown Erasers, equipped with standard claws, fur, canines, wings, and...a horn?
Greeeeeat. Part wolf, part bird, part human, and part um...unicorn? This day just kept getting better.
