Chapter 5 of 8
First, things first. I needed to prepare, I knew I couldn't just show up at the club, looking like this mainly because this vibe was just to vanilla. No, I needed to ensure that when I got there, and the club's regular patrons saw me. All they'd see is a hot chick who only wanted to fuck, and be fucked. And not someone just looking to kill.
I unfurled and spread my wings, dropped into crouch and with one powerful down thrust, launched myself up and out of the throne room. Once clear I shot forward through the open doorway of the mausoleum, and out into the open. I shot upwards gaining altitude with each beat of my wings, until I was above the forest canopy. Once clear I swept by wings back, spreading the long wing feathers to break my ascension, my body stopped and with a subtle shift in the angle of my wings, I shot forward and taking a parallel flight path over the tree tops. Once back at the plantation I dropped from the sky, to land in a crouch and bent my knees to cushion, and absorb the impact. I swept back my wings and with an upward flick, folded them against my back. I stood and headed for the front steps while pulling them beneath the skin of my back.
Once they were gone, I climbed the steps, crossed the porch. And entered the house. Once inside I climbed the stairs to the first floor, turned and took the left hallway, until I reached my bedroom door. Once outside I pushed it open and stepped inside. I kicked it shut as I passed, I didn't stop just kept walking towards the wardrobe. As I passed my bed I stripped out of my dress, shed my bustier and french knickers until I was wearing just the stockings, thong and suspender belt.
On reaching the one with the mirror, I paused to look at my reflection. I was definitely slimmer than before, my build more statuesque. in fact, I felt as if I could give Monique a run for her money. And that's when it hit me, the perfect plan. All I had to do was remove Monique from the equation, and I would have the perfect opportunity to eliminate Shauna.
I turned away from the wardrobe, and crossed to the chest of draws. And pulled open the top draw I quickly rifled through my lingerie, until I found a peekaboo bra. the one I settled on was a black and red number with two triangular panels, one in each cup removed to show off the wearers nipple.
I put it on adjusting each of my breasts, to fit comfortably while showing off how pert and full my nipples were. I also grabbed a pair knee high socks and then quickly shut the draw, and pulled out the next one down. This one held all of my clothing accessories, namely a small selection of cardigans, sweaters and waistcoats each one tailored to fit a woman. I rifled through the items, until I found what I needed. A black leather waistcoat, I pulled it out, turned around and tossed onto the bed, I crossed back to the wardrobe ,opened it and grabbed a pair of black leather cut off shorts.
Firstly I pulled on the shorts, then the socks and finally finishing with the waistcoat. I then added the leather jacket and knee high boots, once my outfit was complete, I checked out the whole aesthetic. I nodded to my self, yeah totally fuckable. I looked at my phone, checked the time it was 7:30pm. the club didn't open till 8:00pm. It would normally take me an hour at least to get there. I didn't have a car, and flying was out of the question.
Which left me at a loss, how could I get there fast enough to intercept Monique. That's when I remembered the two hell hounds, they had to be two shifters from the Fae realm. Just maybe I could as well ,after all I was now in possession of my own shifted form. I tried to picture what a hell hound might look like, all that came to mind was that of a wolf, but with added elements of fire mixed in,
Suddenly my body was overcome by a terrible pain, it began deep in my guts, then it started to rip through me. I screamed in pain and doubled over, falling to all fours. My body felt like it was on fire, my bones melting and reforming. I suddenly hunched forward, gagging as I spewed the contents of my stomach all over the floor. The reason for this was because all of my internal organs were moving inside of me, taking mew positions within my newly forming body. My legs were the next to change the bones began to shorten, knees suddenly bent backwards and my feet turned into paws, claws erupting from the nail beds of my toes.
My arms also began to shorten or at lest my upper arms did, my hands followed, the backs lengthened while my fingers shortened, the middle and ring fingers of each suddenly fused together claws erupted from these to. And from the base of my spine, my tail bone suddenly lengthened.
My spine began to split, the vertebrae separating as new vertebrae began to fill the gaps. My neck began to thicken and my skull started it's metamorphosis. The lower half started to shift, the jaw bones lengthened along with my nose, the last to shift were my ears moving to the top of my skull.
As the physical shift began to slow, my body mass suddenly bulked up as the density of my musculature increased. Thick black fur erupted across my body, covering every inch of my skin. Finally the shift completed itself, the pain ceased and the feeling of burning from the inside out vanished, leaving me with the feeling of being hollowed out. I collapsed to the floor on my belly, my chin coming to rest on my paws, I needed a moment to catch my breath,
I couldn't believe it I'd actually shifted into a hell hound, after what felt like hours. I slowly pull my hindquarters up under me, and pushed myself up onto my paws. At first I found it a little difficult to find and keep my balance. Being in this new form had really thrown my center of balance off. I took a moment to center myself, and steady my trembling legs. After a few deep breaths to steady my nerves, I padded over to the mirror snd really looked at my new form.
I definitely was bigger and broader than a normal wolf, my fur was the rich deep black of obsidian glass shot through with scarlet veins. The thick ruff that covered my neck ,seemed to shimmer and glow, as if living flames were caught within the dark strands. my dark eye's glowed, and I swear I could see flames burning within. And when I looked down at my feet, I swear I could see those same flames licking up between my toes.
"Now the hunt truly begins".
