Tim was alone.
The full enormity of that hit him as he watched the sun rise on this early Wednesday and her life was over. She was this -thing-. A squirrel.. girl. When she shivered, a red jacket formed around herself. Feminine as the rest of the article of clothing that somehow mysteriously appeared whenever she needed it. She hugged it closely, not really knowing any more what else to do. Part of her kept on thinking she had to get to work- of all things. Yet even if she tried to, they would never believe her story. What could she do now that Michelle has effectively taken over the assets of her own entire life?
There was simply no way to prove anything. Michelle had full mastery of whatever magic she had while Tiffany was just just
"Hey girl, you all alone? Want some help?" A man suddenly appeared, looking at her from the path.
Tiffany had no idea of his intentions. However she suddenly felt more scared then she had ever felt in her life. This man could hurt her! There was just a sudden 'burst' of magic as she stepped back, tripping over the back of the banch.
The man gasped in shock and surprise as he found himself shrinking. A set of rabbit ears appeared on his head just 'instantly' with the loss of his human ones. Tiffany hid behind the bench, her squirrel tails tense with shock, the fur on them standing on end. "I- I'm sorry!" She gasped. However the man slowly shrank, his head turning now into that of some kind of human girl in her late teens. She was looking perplexed and confused. She now had nice curves and a set of modest small breasts. Her clothes were now far too large for her. It was her hair though that set her apart, snow white with curious highlights of blonde. "Why- how-"
However, Tiffany was gone. She ran away
Michelle was busy making a list. "Step one in taking over the world..." she smiled a bit in thought. "Who would have thought that me, out of everyone else here would be -the- one." She twirled her three fox tails in anticipation. She was so very excited! To be a goddess to be the caretaker of this beautiful world. She had so many things to accomplish to remove humans from want and need.
Belle was dressed in her maid outfit. "M'lady? Why do we want to take over the world?"
"Think of it as establishing territory Belle. I'm a goddess now, and it's just what I feel is best for everyone. It's time I got treated with some respect too."
"You were dishonoured mistress?" Belle gasped, her large eyes widening a touch more. "Why would anyone do that to a Kitsune?"
Michelle scoffed "Well I wasn't one at the time. However, that should be lesson one. Today's nobodies are tomorrows somebodies. Time for everyone to realise that." She reached over the window, and with a gesture her house rose higher. Like a magnificent tower... "Every time I sleep I feel awakened with new power from the Divine Thousand Tail. I just.. feel like I can do anything. There is so much to do!" She started back on her list. "Hm, establish goddess-hood. Well, I suppose I could inspire a religion..."
"There are many that worship Kitsune's m'lady," offered Belle her arms gently crossed to her palm.
"Yeah... but... not enough do..." Michelle shook her head. "I'm the one in charge of this world with more power then anyone. I'm not just going to sit back and be some 'pretend' goddess in the background. I want to do -something- with my power. I need to perform a miracle- no- a hundred miracles!" she smiled at that thought. "Yes! Let's find a few desperate people and give them what they want."
"Yes mistress." Belle bowed. "Do you want me to prepare another snack for the journey?"
Michelle thought about it. "Sure, bring a basket of sandwiches. Bacon, tuna, a nice selection. I have to go prepare a few of my spells..."
Jon groaned a bit. Finally she had managed to find some semblance of normality in this odd new power she had. While her stomach was slightly swollen still, it was small enough to hide. Her chest ached a bit, but that could be ignored too. There was some nausea but she was.. mostly okay there too.
"How are you feeling mom," Karyn asked with a slight smile.
"Karyn, don't joke. This really isn't very funny. I need to find these other two and fix things. They could be anyone.. anything. How am I supposed to find the others the magic stone touched with its power?"
Karyn glanced at her phone at something. "Maybe we could try the television."
"Huh?"
At Karyn's insistence, Jon was brought back downstairs. It appeared to be a news report. Outside a hospital? Jon reached for the remote and started to turn up the volume. He gasped when the camera panned to a white haired woman. She had strange floppy white ears akin to a rabbit. "I was just- in the park. Suddenly this thing- it- she- I-" the woman started to cry. "I'm not me any more. I- I can't deal with- I- I was only trying to help-" as she cried suddenly, the camera panned away. The sounds of footsteps were heard. Clearly, another was trying to help the poor girl and console her...
The news reporter seemed shock for a moment before speaking. "There.. you have it," he said. "Some attack has caused a.. man to turn into a rabbit-woman. The police have said this is classified as an assault.. and the attacker is being sought after-"
Jon and Karyn watched the news horrified. "At least it's just one person changed," said Karyn. "You can fix this with the stone right?"
"Yeah eventually. Hey- what's going on now?" Jon observed the television as something startling was going on now.
"We.. are getting a new report. There appears to be a fox-woman. She has.. two- no- three tails?" The poor man was speaking this and looked as if he feared he was getting pranked. This was not exactly the kind of news drama that happened on a regular basis. "Outside Green Sail Hospital there's a.. what? She called for an interview we are moving over to interview one of these .. magic users."
The camera stopped and- Jon stared at the woman. She almost instantly felt.. something? Like an odd stirring and she knew this person. This.. stranger, had one third of the powers of the magic stone.
"Hello my lovely people!" The fox woman blew a kiss to the cameras. "My name is Michelle! I'm So glad you all come and see this on your lovely screens. So, as you can probably guess, I'm a goddess-"
"A.. goddess? Some might not.. believe you." The interviewer- this one a young woman, responded cautiously. "Are you the one responsible for all the.. odd changes in the dance club? Or the man that was changed into a rabbit-woman?"
"Yeah, that was me," Michelle nodded. "All the things you can't explain lately, that was all me. Me! It made things interesting didn't it?" she smiled so happily.
Jon gulped. 'I wished things could be more interesting...' she quietly realised. "Oh.. crap..."
The woman beside her held the microphone at a loss on what to say. "Don't you think you might be in.. violation of quite a few laws and be considered a terrorist?" The woman asked evenly.
"Laws are for mortals my dear," Michelle responded. "Besides, this is- frankly- my world now. There is one thing though I dislike and that is seeing people sick and in pain. So I've decided to come by the nearest hospital, and start healing them."
Jon tilted her head at that. "I thought I had the power to heal..." she bit her lip. "Where is that fairy what happens if she healed people if she doesn't have that actual power?"
Karyn shrugged. "No idea. I don't think she can heal them as they are that's definitely your power."
"Oh God.. she's going to transform everyone in the hospital..."
Somehow, the entire staff of the hospital were magically set aside. Pulled from their wards and patients, dropped off to the outside. Panic gripped them as they tried to get back into their workplace, but the entire building was surrounded by some strange magical force field. Every entrance was sealed.
"I know you're all upset, but this is really only temporary. Please let my mistress do what she thinks is best, and I'm sure you can get back in a few minutes." A young mouse-girl in a maid dress pleaded with the crowd at the top of the stairs to the main enterence.
The police were called in. At once, the crowd dispersed, which the mouse girl heaved a great sigh at.
Many cars came and Belle tilted her head at the situation from the top of the steps. She was told to just wait here and explain Michelle was going to be a while. She wanted to make sure everyone was healed in the hospital.. that had to be a good thing, right? Why were they bringing in these.. people. A man suddenly spoke really loud to her! Through some sort of device? An amplifier.. it kind of reminded her of speaking right inside one's ear.
"Return use of the hospital Now!" the man said. "If you comply, the charges on you will be lessened."
Charges? Belle blinked in confusion. "Um, we just want to heal everyone inside." she spoke perhaps a bit too quietly. She looked at the police officer not really sure what to say. She didn't really want to shout, it would be so impolite.
"We are sending in a team to negotiate release of the children first." The man spoke again.
Belle put a hand to her lips. Oh they were worried about children? One of the policemen slowly came up the steps. He seemed at least friendly, which Belle had an appreciation for. "Hello," she said with a soft smile.
"Hello. So.. may I know your name?" He asked.
"I was named Belle," she replied. "What's your name?"
"Roderick. Call me Rod," he said with a smile. "So, you mind telling me why you have blocked the entire hospital? There are people in there who need the doctors you know."
Belle.. liked Roderick. At least he was asking nicely. "Well, Michelle thinks she can help them live. She doesn't like seeing injured people. She wants to help."
Rod cleared his throat, looking casual. He glanced back to his commanding officer who was listening in on every word. "Look you seem a nice.. mouse.. girl..."
"Thank you," Belle smiled charmingly. Oh she really did like Rod! Maybe Michelle would bring him with them? She had to ask her later...
" but there are children in there too you know? You should let people just do their jobs."
"Oh, Michelle is going to take care of them all, just give it a few more minutes. Maybe I could ask her for you to come in and see?"
Rod glanced back to his officer who gave a nod. "Yes Belle I would like that."
