The sights and sounds of Maryke's final transformation were enough to frighten Alexa for life. She couldn't watch anymore. All she could hear were the cries of pain coming from her former madam. She squeezed her eyes shut, balling up in a fetal position and cowering. She could hear Maryke leaping around and screaming in her animalistic cries, and she had a feeling she was closer now, and above her. She squeezed herself into an even tighter ball, tears still streaming down her face.
Her mind left the scene, finidng it too traumatic, and landed in a happier time.
The sun was coming up. The white blankets were piled high around Alexa's naked body. A small sigh escaped her as she looked around. She reached out with a foot and touched a smooth as silk leg. A smile spread itself evenly across her features. She sat up on her elbows, looking up and over another cover divider. Maryke lay next to her, sleeping soundly. Alexa moved closer, settling into the madam's arms, and closed her eyes.
Her eyes shot open and she looked up, nearly forgetting what was going on. This was NOT what she had just experienced. Her eyes searched frantically for the source of the barking noise, and found that it was above her. Maryke was practically hanging from the ceiling above Alexa. She shreiked in horror and surprise, scooting around until she was under the coffee table. Maybe she'd be safe there. She could see stains on the carpet from Maryke's scratch fest. She closed her eyes and whimpered, wondering when it would be over.

Alexa waited underneath her small shelter, scared that Maryke would come after her at any moment. Yeah, that didn't make sense, but it was still a high stress situation. Finally, Alexa could bear to watch Maryke bouncing around the room. The rauccous calls were loud and she had to cover her ears to withstand them. Slowly, she came out and stood up, looking at the lemur woman. Maybe... maybe Alexa could do something?
"Maryke?" She called out, wondering if she'd attack her. She'd decided to take that chance. Afterall, she looked like she was still in a lot of pain. She was bleeding from her nose now as well as her skin. Alexa assumed it was over, and tried to coax her to come down, or at least get her attention by repeating her name quietly, waiting for her to hear.

Alexa was back under the coffee table the minute Maryke began to move towards her. Through the glass, she watched her snout, staring into her still partially human eyes. The feeling in her voice was a whole new one. The elongated muzzle that Alexa would normally find quite attractive was twisted and deformed into a brutal heinous thing. She wrinkled her nose up good, squirming.
"Maryke, are you okay?" She whimpered, closing her eyes then forcing them open again. To spite her fear, she wanted to make sure she was okay. She looked... scary. More scary than before, but in a way less scary. She couldn't quite identify which of the two it was. She looked at her, the same fear in her wide seafoam eyes. She wanted badly for her to be okay, to be normal to spite her appearance, but Alexa should have known better. She just didn't want to believe that Maryke might be gone or changed beyond return.

Alexa slipped out from under the coffee table on the side farther from Maryke. This was... this was just not good. This was like Maryke was being the queen b***h all over again. She wasn't sure if that was in Maryke's nature or not. Alexa didn't know much about furry primates from Madagascar, but if she did, she'd doubt that Maryke's attitude was part of their original complex. Alexa's eyes followed Maryke's as they bored into her, then swivelled down her body to her arm. At the chittering sing song response, Alexa looked at the spot.
It didn't look like a mosquito bite anymore to her. She frowned, then looked up slowly. s**t. ********. This was what was making Maryke's arm itchy... this was the same thing that... oh ******** no. Her eyes went wide as her face blanched. This was going to happen to her... and SOON! She began looking around, searching for a way out. Something logical. She was almost as frantic as Maryke had been. She felt suddenly trapped with a sinking feeling in her gut that screamed for her to run.
She could see the sardonic look on Maryke's lemur features. She began to feel hot, like she was trapped in an oven, only worse. She looked down at herself, wondering what was about to happen, then up at Maryke once more with those pleading, innocent eyes of hers. Her stomach churned as she began to feel as though she would vomit and pass out and burn up all at once. It was starting... she knew it was. Her eyes filled with tears as a searing pain began to localize from her entire spine down to the southern most tip. She squeezed her eyes shut, holding her breath before letting out a horrid, agonizing scream. She could feel something moving... shifting inside of her. Her coccyx was slowly uncurling. She fell to her hands and knees, writhing and dry heaving. She cried out again and again as one pop at a time, her vertebrae elongated into the stub of a hairless tail. The nerves were stretching, the muscles were stretching. She had never experienced anything HALF this painful. And that was just the beginning. All thoughts of helping Maryke were lost as the process began it's next step...

If Alexa had the strength in her to do it, she would have scolded Maryke for the way she was acting about this whole thing. However, she couldn't. She was too busy dying, at least in her opinion. Once the tail had stopped growing, she felt a cold rush run through her, as if it were over. She was sadly mistaken. Now, all around her jaw and ears began with the same searing pain. The same muscle ripping, flesh mutating pain she'd felt earlier. Her ears were hot. They hurt, and she pawed at them like a helpless kitten trying to groom herself. They wouldn't stop! She groaned and rolled onto her side, rubbing at them and rubbing, feeling the flesh mutating as they began to take a rounder shape, feline. She cried out and continued to rub at them. Where the heat had been, an itch came in it's place. She knew what would happen now. She'd seen it in Maryke.
The fur. Fur began to sprout from her skin as she continued to tear at it, tears streaming down her face as she continued to fight the changes. The urge to pull them off was overwhelming. She however could not. Before she knew it, two feline ears sat atop her head, the new muscles aching and twitching, ready to learn their new roles. Halfway through this sensation, her nose also began to ache. Oh, god, she thought. What the hell am I turning into? Her skin began to mutate, the pores shifting and becoming black and moist. She squeezed her eyes shut, curling her toes only to find that they too had begun to change. In a most painful pulling sensation, they shaped themselves into tiny retractible claws with nowhere to retract into. She curled them tighter, trying to get the pain out of her joints as they became slightly longer. She was dizzy from everything that had happened. She could smell the stench of vomit, lemur, and other various things as if she had never been able to smell before. She lay on the floor, writhing and wretching and spasming, but mostly making a mess of Maryke's duplex carpetting.
The dreams made sense now. The strange, distant jungles. The tall trees, the flashes of black and white invading her sight. She was a cat. A tree-climbing cat. She had been hunting her prey... and now she was becoming the predator.

Once it was over, Alexa laid there with her eyes closed. She didn't know what the hell had happened, but her body was in pain. Her hearing was beginning to sharpen, so every little movement Maryke made gave her a headache. The muscles around her newly formed ears swivelled them on instinct, causing smaller twinges of pain which made her wince. She opened her eyes as she sensed that Maryke was closer, looking up into her still familiar eyes. She was looking for comfort. Something, anything that would tell her it would be okay... that she would be okay like this.
There was nothing.
Her voice sent a whole new pain into her head, the scent of lemur becoming a known thing to her. She didn't have the nasal cavity capacity necessary to be an extraordinary sniffer like Maryke yet, but it was still there--forming. "No." She squeaked out, her cheeks spilling over with fresh tears. All she wanted to do was hide. She'd done so much of it, and she'd finally convinced herself it would be okay like this. What a lie it had been. She was back to square one, only worse because the oner person she'd BEG for loving was now making a fool out of her. She buried her face in her hands, quietly sobbing. She wanted it to stop... or go away... she felt like a little girl at the hands of a strange man.

Her body was still aching as she laid there, wondering what Maryke would do to her. Something deep within the back of her brain was saying something about the lemur woman, and something she had never thought of before, but she pushed it away. She couldn't even decipher it, let alone act on it. Alexa wondered what she looked like now. She reached up gingerly and touched a fragile, fuzzy ear. It flinched and flicked away from her fingers. She giggled a little, feeling it tickle, but the laugh was fleeting. Soon she looked drab once again.
She frowned slightly at the offering of Maryke's blackened hand, but after a hesitating moment, she took it. At first, it hurt to stand up with the trauma that had been done to her spine, but the hairless stump of a tail helped to balance her out. She glanced back, noting that it had torn right through her jeans. Lovely, she thought. "Okay." She said quietly, standing on shaky legs with aching toes, finding her balance but eager to spend time with Maryke.
