Snippet #1722394

Crouched on the ground, Maria's hands clutched at the thick red locks of hair that cascaded down over her face and her body shuddered violently. Rippling and bulging, her muscles seemed to tear free of the confines of her clothes and her skeletal structure began to re-arrange itself with the sickening sound of tearing sinew and cartilage.

Falling onto her back fur began to sprout along her skin and her muzzle elongated, fangs splitting free from her gums. Several minutes would pass before a lumbering hulk of a beast rose from the ground shaking itself off. Salivating excessively the animal tore free the remnants of clothing that clung to its russet fur. However, the heavy set collar and the remnants of broken chain links still hung about her to give the impression that the beast had either escaped or been let loose.

Tilting her head back she let out a blood curdling howl that cast an eerie silence over the area as the animals instinctively took shelter in their dens and burrows from the menace that had been left to prowl their wood.

Stalking off, the wolfbeast melded into the cursed woods.
