Chapter VIII: Transformations

Katie jerked awake. She was caked in sweat and all she could feel was the sheets of the bed. She looked over to find Harry sitting in the leather arm chair, his feet on the foot stall, evidently asleep with his sword leaning against the wall.

"Arszlan are you awake?" She called out softly.

Arszlan jerked forwards almost falling out of the seat causing smile to grace her face "You're awake, when?" Arszlan asked making his way over to her.

"Just now, I feel icky, covered in sweat." Katie mumbled, Arszlan snorted. Sat next to her and pulled her close.

"I was so scared…When I saw you bleeding out. I did the only thing I could which was to turn you to save you."

Katie nodded, turned in the sheet and wrapped her arms around Arszlan in a tight hug. "Hey, I'm okay. I totally get why you didn't want to turn me."

The sleepiness by now had worn off and she realised, she was naked and she was hugging her incredibly gorgeous boyfriend in her opinion. "Arszlan do you mind leaving the room so I can have a shower and change."

Arszlan took one look at her, flushed red and was out the door faster than a bat out of hell. Katie grabbed some jeans, bra and t-shirt, holding the sheets around her and headed into the bathroom.

Arszlan headed into the kitchen and absentmindedly plucked the flying carton of orange juice that came soaring through the air as Eve chucked it casually to Michael. "You're a jerk." Eve muttered as Arszlan swigged the orange from the carton.

"Who's my cute and destructive baby little sister…Who managed to win over my other half and get her to purchase gallons of ice cream."

"You owed me that ice cream."

"I owe you swot on the backside for breaking the loft."

"I'll give the pair of you swot if you keep this up. Just because you're fifteen does not mean I can't treat you like a nine year old." Purred Selene dangerously entering the house sweating slightly from her run, Arszlan sighed as Eve smirked at how effortlessly their mother ended the arguments.

Harry tossed his mother a towel, before grabbing the milk that had been altered from its intended course of Mr. Granger's hands. "You may want to use the down stairs loo. Katie's awake; transformation has done wonders to her."

Katie at that point in time, groaned as the water cascaded down her back. She was surprised out how much had changed in her transformation. 'I am going to seriously need a brand new wardrobe. I don't think anything will fit. Or rather it will fit but will cause Harry to go absolutely insane on anyone who comes near me and is male.'

Katie shrugged and pulled on the t-shirt, happened to be Harry's. She pulled it on and her face fell. Apparently her chest now made what would have covered her nicely and a bit now barely covered the top of her diaphragm. She pulled on the jeans went to stick her hands in the pockets…

The next thing the house heard was a sob of anguish. Arszlan stumbled over the chair to fly up the stairs. Selene smirked; he was a few decades too young to glide out of the room from a sitting position. Selene danced over her stumbling son and darted up the stairs and pounded on the door.

"Katie, it's me Selene. What's wrong? We heard you cry out."

The door unlocked a portion and Katie looked through the crack. "I need your help." Selene slid inside and the door shut as Harry made it up the stairs holding a disgruntled Eve by the waist.

Eve had tried to imitate Selene, but Harry had plucked her out of the air. "Kat, you okay love?"

"I have it under control Harry…"

"Anything I can do to help?"

"Your wallet can." Katie called back making Selene shake her head at her son's girlfriend. She couldn't contain the laughter as she heard her son groan from the corridor.

"I can only guess that the transformation has had some unforeseen results in the physical aspects." Arszlan said slumping down in the hallway outside the bathroom.

"Katie, look at me." Instructed Selene and the brunette stared at her boyfriend's mother.

"Yes?"

"Go out their face Arszlan, see what he says and we'll go shopping."

Katie grinned "He won't think, I look hideous?"

"If he doesn't have any working genetalia then yes. I guarantee a tub of ice cream that'll he'll beat the crap out of at least three people when we go shopping."

Katie nodded and unlocked the door, Arszlan looked up and his jaw dropped. "Katie, wow." Katie burst into tears, Arszlan reappeared pulling her close.

"What's wrong? Hey now, I can't help if you don't say what's wrong."

"You love me? You like how I am?" Arszlan could only stare at her in shock.

"I love you no matter what you're wearing. Though I will admit this, I don't feel comfortable about you going out in that. Unless that's..."

"None of my stuff fits. Only my jeans do but I can't put anything in the pockets." Katie replied before revealing her free hanging breasts.

Arszlan's eyes widened and he bit down hard on his lower jaw to fight his erection. Katie noticed the change in strength of his mouth muscles and smirked. "We're going shopping and I owe your mother a tub of ice cream."

Arszlan sighed "Let me get my wallet."

Soon enough Arszlan, Katie, Selene, Eve on insistance, Nathaniel and Hermione were heading back into town. Nathaniel was going solely to keep Arszlan company because he knew all to well the effects of shopping on a man's soul.

"Arszlan, come on." Eve shouted trying to pull her brother towards the toy store.

Selene, Nathaniel, Hermione and Katie snorted as they watched their daughter/cousin/boyfriend's little sister try to drag a 6'4 son/cousin/boyfriend towards the store. "Aunt Selene, Arszlan has created a skill that essentially means 'I move for no-one bar four'." Hermione explained.

"Come on, this is for Katie."

Arszlan smirked and with a simple tug pulled his petite sister off her feet and towards the clothes store. Katie was literally led around by Selene, t-shirts, shirts, blouses, jeans, skirts and several other bits and pieces were added to the pile which was growing constantly in Harry's arms.

As they were leaving the first clothes store, Selene noticed it. It was a small store that sold flexible body suits and armour. "Katie, sure you have several things that will keep my sons eyes on you."

Katie nodded and followed Selene into the shop. Nathaniel headed in there with Hermione stating that this place was as close as civilians could get to military equipment. Harry had no interest in heading into the shop, he had paid for seventy five percent of all of Katie's shopping, and his mother said she'd pick this up.

"Come on in here, maybe we can pick some ladies for tonight."

Arszlan turned his head and he saw four men around his age, give them two to three years head into the store. "Did they go in the same store mom did?"

"Yup…This already doesn't seem to be a good idea. You Eve, stay here. I'll go and see where the group are…scratch that you're coming with me. Prevent me from killing anyone."

Laden down with the shopping Harry and Eve entered the store. The youths were seen heading towards the changing rooms where Selene was standing waiting for Katie to come out of the dressing room.

Arszlan arrived just as Katie left the changing room. Arszlan's eyes widened. "How do I look?"

Selene had noticed her children behind her. How could a mother not know when her children were around supernatural or not.

"Arszlan look." Selene commanded

Arszlan's eyes widened. The latex body body suit with kevlar plates, hugged her legs an her ass definitely capturing her figure perfectly. Then the top did nothing to help her.

Then one of the observer's made their move. One of them wolf whistled causing Arszlan to glare at them. "Hey there beautiful. Just wondering if you wanted to join me and my mates for a bit?"

Katie loved her sensitive hearing, she could hear the lust in his tone from the moment he opened his mouth. "Not interested. I've got a boyfriend."

Apparently he didn't get the hint. "He ain't here."

Arszlan snarled and stepped into the conflict. "I really hope you weren't planning on putting a hand on my girlfriend were you?" He growled drawing himself up to his full height of 6'2.

"What are you going to do if I were?"

"You're really asking me that? I outweight you, taller than you and stronger than you. I'm feeling rather generous today so it'll be a shattered arm with ninety percent chance you'll be able to use it again."

"And if that changes?" One of his mates asked curiously.

"He loses it."
