"NOO NOOO!" Tanis was animalistically screaming as if her lungs were on fire and her throat a volcano that erupted agony.
Her body was changing, firstly her bandages were falling. And then her skin was bulging, as if cockroaches were inside her skin and tried to find a way out.
And those swellings were then taking concrete form, her right arm got swollen like if it was a whole tumor of meat inside, her left arm instead was creepily skinny to the bone.
Her body was visually bending on the back of her spine, her torso was crooked in a cruel and unnatural mockery of normality.
"THISH WASH THE WORSHT PART OF MY LIFE! PLEEASHHH NOOKK!" and as soon as she finished the sentence her mouth cracked, with a dry sound of "thrak", thus her jaw was lopsided, and horse like teeth were sprouting on her mouth and replacing the previous teeth. Add with the underbite growing along with the teeth and the overbite too she looked like a two-faced bulldog that had one side with fangs pointing up and the other had fangs pointing down.
Her eyes went on two different places, asymmetrical, the left eye went above the right eye that stayed in normal place. Her eyebrows became the right hairy and the left one bald.
Whatever magic was happening it didn't stop on her face and went on her head, a hump grew on the back of her head, random hairy places were texturing her skull, it was like she had mange and only one side ponytail managed to grow.
She sported two jug-ears and a crooked nose.
Her legs were swole too, but unlike the arms they were both elephantiasis like, only the left foot suffered a clubfoot.
While for Tanis the transformation was a whole nightmare of skin that regrew and adapted to her bones others had a relative little luck.
Sibella just had her purple complexion turning into an ivory skinned paleness, her heart bumping again and blood warming her body.
She was caught of guard by Winnie's remark on her skin, but she was visually in awe to what was happening both in positive and in negative. She was speechless and looked at her hands and body.
For Winnie it was a long but quick process: she felt her skin burning as her fur was falling out but quickly enough after the initial hurt it was all gone and she was a freckled ginger girl in a sports suit.
But for her the emotional panic was bigger than the pinched skin, she was reaching for air as she was swallowing the news of her whole life changed into less than a minute.
Winnie Werewolf, contrary to her father and to what her surname would imply, she was never nor could transform willingly or non-willing in a human.
So, for her this was a sense of lost and found genetic emotion that lived on her parents' genes but she never experienced, perhaps it's similar to puberty but in this case abnormally life changing.
With nothing better to say she said "awoo?..." with a weak sense of panic and shock.
For Elsa the transformation was, like Sibella's, an experience. She felt her artificially placed skin fusing with her muscles and tissues, her sewed up parts disappearing and the electricity in her body slowly fading off and being replaced by warm blood that baptized her body into life.
She was heavy breathing, and she realized that, she was BREATHING!
How interesting, is this what they call life? If it is, then it's a whole acid trip of shock and wonder.
And while the others were contemplating their new bodies and Tanis was trying to not fall off by imbalance they didn't notice how the poor Phanty got the worst deal of any of them.
While Tanis had her new body constructed in humanity's body horror Phanty had her whole life taken off.
When she was transforming she felt it, felt the the thin and weak bones re-appearing, her voice becoming dull and then empty, her joy faded away and replaced by an inner and outside fragility of her being.
Before she felt to the ground she could emit one last cry "Noooo…oo.." and then her voice died and her body became a living skeleton but not a ghoul.
A dangerously weak paper like skin that covered a whole skeleton of wood.
Phanty returned to life, but the life she promised herself to never touch again.
Elsa quick on her sense saw her once blue friend on the ground, and decided to rescue as quickly as possible. She went there and lifted her up.
But soon she realized that the girl had no hope to move by herself as she was in a vegetative state where she could only blink and move her eyes and give throat sounds like a frog.
The Grimwood girls now passed the hot minute looking at what happened to each others. The tension was so cold that not even fire could melt it.
Then Elsa broke the silence with an heavy breathe.
"I'm sure I made an hell of mistake!"
"Yow fhinkk shoo yow wad yiennish?!" Tanis was muttering in high voice with her lopsided mouth.
Sibella was walking and feeling the world around her "I…I'm not sure I dislike how I feel, oh bats". She sit down by the shock of what just happened, she wanted to feel her human body and pinched her arm with her claws turned long nails, and then felt something.
The hurt she received gave to her brain some kind of drug that made her feel something equivalent to joy and happiness. And she smiled while she kept pinching her skin.
Tanis was thinking between herself since her mouth wasn't working right.
"this is bad, as a child I could still live with the clubfoot and bended back, but now I don't have 10 pillows for laying all day and slaves transporting me where I want". She was on the point of hurting her head thinking how wrong all of this went. She was fairly in shock.
Then she decided to remove the band aid and went to find a mirror, every step was like a weak man trying to lift two cows on his shoulders but she with enough will and ignoring the flexed foot crawling on the ground and hurting she found the closest mirror in the room.
She saw herself and gave a silent scream that sounded like an old woman screaming after finding the grim reaper in her doorstep.
Tanis face was a pain to watch, visually repulsing to the eyes and to the mind, it was like all senses jumped to say one and one only thing, stop looking at your repulsive form.
She could see her broken like jaw being impossible to fix naturally, she was thinking to hammer it down and hope it could end up reassemble a normal enough face.
Instead, she was with teeth itching her upper lip and other side of teeth itching her lower lip.
She was touching her face hoping that the impossible would happen, fixing it.
The next scene had Winnie too sitting on the ground hoping she could catch the breathe and think at what happened and what it meant, if it was positive or negative and if she could have hoped to return normal at the next full moon.
But when she sit one bolt of danger woke her up, a splinter entered in her finger and it hurted like she never felt in her life as werewolf that dreaded where bears and boars didn't dare to and as sports girl that carried the strength of her squad on her shoulder and after one loss was still ready to kick more ass than what her body weight would tell.
It was a pathetic kind of hurt, something that in normal cases would just be a needless annoyance in a normal day, but for her it was like entering in a new reality where she could have been seriously hurt and worse.
She tried to remove it with her fingers but then another bolt of danger striked her, a sneeze went on her body, it inflated her lungs and her nose and went "Aytchooo!".
A never wanted cold caught her like easy, apparently the difference between what you have done as wolfgirl and what happens to you as human have a mysterious connection but she couldn't think at why or how it was happening and kept sneezing and mucus coming out out her nose.
Phanty was muttering to Elsa strange and weak words.
Elsa was focusing on everything at the moment but she still could hear Phanty saying with a little weak voice "hill mhheee"
"Kill me" Phanty was begging with her voice alone.

It all happened so quickly that Elsa carried them all on her place, she was quick to give them a seat and a something to please her before she went off to search a way to return to normal.
Quickly she placed different items on the girls, she put a bandana on Phanty's head, a blanket for Winnie and braces for Tanis that worked with elastics so was kind of easy to put inside.
All the girls were sitting on a round table, in Elsa's lab, each one of them had an expecting look on their eyes.
Cept, Phanty. She was borderline chained with laces to the chair so she couldn't fall and damage herself. She was a wearing some kind of head torch, but was metallic and looked out of a scifi film in the 1980s.
Winnie was clinging to a giant blanket and with a tea cup in her hand, she looked visually sick with swollen eyes and green mucus out of her nose. She was wearing a sweater but still looked like she was going to have cold.
Tanis was visually impatient and resting her head on her skinny limb while her mouth had some kind of braces that held her jaws in a barely human like appearance even if at glance looked like an uncanny body horror. But with her eyes she was still wandering the place and then posed it on Sibella.
Elsa gave nothing to Sibella because she felt she was the most mature of the group and so she wouldn't need something to stay on check. Instead, she was using a pencil to puncture her arm and the pencil's lead was red of her blood. Sib had a whole joker like smile and bangs on her eyes to show how sadistic and euphoric she was feeling. She wasn't a bloodsucker any longer, but she sure wanted to spill blood.
Elsa arrived, she tried to avoid Tanis questioning eye because she knew she messed up and needed to find a solution. But first she went to Phanty and placed a batter like object on her head.
"I build this so Matches could talk with us, but then considered him good for us with his normal reptile voice" Elsa said as she applied the object for the machine to work.
Phanty eyes lit up to Elsa, a sound got out from her tiara like tech piece.
"Killmeplease"
And a horrible silence felt in the room.
Elsa said "Phanty we love you, and we won't kill you even if it makes you turn into ghost".
"owwww" the metallic voice of Phanty's voice projector said.
Elsa gave on look of pity at her vegetative friend and said to the others:
"Alright, it's clear I made an horrible mistake, so I'll try my best to resolve"
Sibella raised her voice "You kidding this pain thing rocks!" she said raising her hands up.
"Uhh Uhhhhh" Elsa said and then went to Tanis. "Pretty sure those braces should do the job, later you should try to walk with this walker platform, originally for the elderly but in your…condition should do the job" the frankengirl was announcing with calm and fear knowing that Tanis could have easily told her to screw off.
"Mhhh thanksh Elsa" Tanis said with almost closed eyes but still willingly to do what it takes to live until the problem was fixed.
Then the scientist went to Winnie who looked up to her "your problems are all pathological, your body is dong this and my best advice is to relax and try to not put yourself in danger".
"Whaaaat? But I?m the queen of danger!" Winnie said but then "coff coff!"
"A queen need relax too" the tall friend replied.
"…yeee" the ginger said.
And the big brainy giantess went to her once fanged friend "I'm not sure why you have this sadistic approach to your body, but I advise you to stop it or you could end up hurting yourself permanently."
"Buuut it feels so….sweet! Like a sense of sugar rush and apple's sweetness!" Sibella replied with what seemed a psychopath smile.
"Doesn't matter, try to work on it or find another hobby". Elsa said while she was scowling.
"I'll try" her friend went.
"I'm sorry for what I caused to you girls" Elsa was raising her voice while in the middle of the room. I have hurted you like this or gave you an unwanted change to your bodies, but I'm working on a way to reverse it as I study the gem that caused this. So for now…" she said while looking at the poker faces of the her squad "…go relax in another place?" she said.
The girls all agreed and understood her, so they walked out the lab, some slowlier than others. Phanty was transported on a wheelchair by Winnie and Sibella was jumping happily there.
When the girls were out and the door closed Elsa was thinking "Now what can I do…".
She had no idea and thought at how being human gave her a brain lost as her neurons weren't connected with electricity but with synapsis.
