She strove to figure out mainly where she was but... there was something odd about it.. She looked left and right yet only seen darkness it was like her oh personal trap. Then she heard it he faint sound of footsteps, she rushed in that direction maybe it was home maybe it would get her away from this dreeded place that wasnt helping her nature any.....
Coren seen the brush of his cloak before the man him self. He was how should she put it scary.... He blended into the area well being of all black him self. For several moments both just stared. "Awaken" the words were outta his lips as his hand shot forward faster then she would have expected. She went to hit back but the pain burst through her body faster then she could react..
She crumpled over hands held tightly on her head yet no matter how hard she held them the pain didnt stop. It ranked her body tearing at her.......
She started falling off the box that had been her resting spot in the dark ally... it was only a dream, nothing more. "but hell it was so real." she ran her hands thro her hair only to stop..... "oh this isnt good...."

"Anyway I was thinking we should get Jessie to do a dolphin, if we could explain one to her right. They make awesome statues." Anny was right on that, as they carried groceries home for the three of them. Anthony had to remind her, though. "But every time we even bring up fins, she starts sayin' 'it's a fish then.'" It was frustrating trying to teach adults. They were all so stubborn that they knew everything. "Still, Jessi is kind of a kid in some ways. Like how she - what was that?"
There was something moving in the alley they had just passed. So early in the morning, that kind of seemed weird. Backpedalling, the pair saw a few barrels, a crate, and near the back there were some boxes and - that girl! The one with the camo pants!
She didn't look to good.
Kind of cautious of the darkness of the alley, Anthony set the food down on the barrel nearest him and walked slowly towards the woman, taking a step forward and pausing, and then another. "Uhm, are you alright back there? Miss? Miss?"

Coren paused yet her body was shaking but what did you expect she still held her head worryed to move her hand after feeling the lose hair there.... She looked up after hearing the question and seen that same boy that she had seen in the inn what was he doing here? From the looks of it he was getting it rather good judgeing by the bag he held. "im fine."
maybe if she lied he would go away.. there was something wrong but at the same time familiar those dreams flashed before her eye sight. She was about to say more when another burst of pain shot through her body and she curled in a ball no longer worryed about her hair... The large bald spot and bump easyly seen but that was the least of her worrys at the moment. her whole body was on fire... more so her back...
"F***" that was all she could say..

Anthony could tell she wanted to be left alone, whatever she was doing there. Especially the way she said it: 'buzz off' was loud and clear. He was turning to go with Anny when he heard the woman cry out in pain. Spinning, he could see hair falling to the ground as she curled up in the feetuhl-thingy. She was in pain. Doing the only thing he could think of, Anthony ran to the edge of the alley and shout for help. "Hey! Somebody's hurt! Anybody? Anyone, help!" When there was nothing rushing towards him but echoes, he panicced, rushing back into the alley to help her.

She focused on him shouting and wanted to yell don’t get more into this I’m fine but her throat was tight and she was unable to. Her shirt was tight now almost constricting... that wasn’t right it was a bit big not small.... Maybe she had rolled on it funny? Her back still hurt not to mention her butt... Her head was a bit cold to...
The pain had slowed for the moment and she was able to loosen the tight ball she had formed and attempted to fix her shirt..... That’s when she noticed the little wiggly thing......
thinking it was a snake ready to bite she jumped up probably a bit to fast her head was spinning and she wasn’t focused to where or what she was doing and plowed right into the kid...
robbing her head she looked at him she touched the bump on her head a bit that was going to leave a mark "sorry" She grumbled then stood up and dusted off her pants or at least mostly stood up.....
finally she looking back to her back she yelled out "WHAT THE F***" stepping back she tripped right over a nearby crate and fell over in a heap on the other side no longer able to see the kid anymore....
She wanted to cry.....

Anthony barely had time to think before a charging post-teenager managed to toss him with a shoulder check right into a pile of smaller boxes. He'd had worse, but not recently - it stung. Luckily he landed butt first; having the wind knocked out of him scared Anthony so. Brushing himself off hastily, he started checking for splinters until he realized the girl was still in pain.
Hearing her scream an obscenercity-whatever, he sat up just in time to see her crash into some empty crates on the other end of the alley.
Hurrying over, Anthony half shouted, half prayed, "You OK?". It had been a nasty fall, after all. Reaching down into the mass of crates with a hand up, his breath caught.

She had done some mighty good damage to the palms of her hands not to mention her back… well maybe her back it looked worst then could have been caused by the fall that was for sure. But at least it explained the blueness? She looked up as Anthony asked if she was ok, no she wasn’t ok, she looked like a deformed rock or something… did they have deformed rocks?
“Well ill give you credit you haven’t ran away screaming.” It was meant to be a joke but came out a bit gruff. Wasn’t her fault she was mad but taking it out on this kid wasn’t nice either.
Now that all the pain had stopped she started to hurt from the fall, she checked her elbows they were all banged up. Her hands were red to both scraps and some blood.
Besides the added body form she was ok… her tail that she now identified as a tail swayed back and forth. She took a deep breath before finally standing up she felt like a hunch back. There went good health.

Anthony was trying to bluster a response to that. What could one say? It's not a kind of thing someone teaaches in social etiquette. 'When someone is in pain and suddenly looks like a dark camel, first you say...' Right. 'Cause that was taught in grade school. He just gave the best excuse he could.
"I, uh, I - I watch a lot of movies. Y-Yeah." He tried to crack a smile, but it ended up simply making his mouth twitch. Oh lord, she had a tail, too. And once again, Anny was nowhere to be seen. She had ran off again.
Don't dare freak out. A voiced spoke to him in his head. She could be a bad guy or something.

She put her hands on her hip and watched him for a moment. Then sighed, what was she going to do? What even happened? Maybe she could play it off like she was a turtle? She looked around for anything to hide under but seen nothing and looked back to Anthony.
“Ok well here’s the deal.” Now that she was done panicking she was getting to know her situation. It wasn’t good… more so the moment she was seen by villagers she was screwed.
“It’s easy to say something went wrong.’ She pointed to the tail wagging back and forth with anger. “But I got to make the best from it… I guess.” She liked blue but this was just a bit much….
“Got a blanket in your bag?” she gestured to the bag that was discarded and losing its contents on the ground behind him.

"Nah, that's just foo- oh geez!" Anthony had turned to see the bag tipping. Luckily bread wasn't one of those foods that likes to go on a journey at the earliest opportunity; it was slowly sliding out of the burlap cloth. Rushing over, he shoved the pastries back in, and took the bag and set it against one of the walls of the alley.
Looking back, he saw the full figure of her misshapen form. It scared him, it really did. From what that Boones guy was telling them the other night, this was what was happening to everybody who came here. As in, Alex had had fur and a tail and same with that other guy, the one that'd not talked. But this? Could he get a huge hump and lose his hair and...
This was not good.

“Well” she scratched her head, “and to think I felt sorry for Alex... I must have caught what ever he had.” She sat down on a crate her head resting in her hands. “See its not like I asked for this s*** I tried to become straight… well maybe not.” She flashed back to all the items she had given Korbin.
“Is it that bad?” she looked at his shocked posture and sighed. Finally she stood up, “well I can’t just sit here. She glanced out of the ally they were in at a few people that walked by. Anyone that looked over could easily see her. That was going to be the biggest issue. Now she understood how Alex and the little fox boy felt.

Anthony let her mutter and swear. It wasn't like he was in any place to speak down to her about her swearing... and he didn't know what had happened to her, and it sounded like it was contagious. "Umm, are you sure Alex gave it to you? I dun' wanna get it either." He had an awful feeling he should get away from her at the soonest time.
Again Anthony tried to put on a brave face for her, and failed. "The one side of your face is all puffy and stuff. Sort of like your back." He didn't want to mention that she looked like she had a foot or more of the purple mass sticking out of her back.
Trying to think of ideas, he remembered the burlap food container. "We could put the bag over your head an' back, sneak you out?"

She blinked for a moment before feeling her face. Oh what now he was right, “this day just can’t get worst can it…” standing up she looked at his bag a moment. “And I don’t think that will cover all,” she opened her hands to show what she figured was the size of the mound on her back, “of that.”
She looked at him and tried a smile might have been scary but she meant right. “Thanks for trying though but I think were gonna need something bigger.” She turned circles looking at her surroundings. The crates were destroyed not like he was big enough to move one with her in it anyway. “Maybe ill just have to wait till tonight to move.” She sat down again holding that mass up was a bit tiring.

Anthony made a wince. "But it's only breakfast time. "If y'wait to sunset or after, that's, like -", Anthony was having a hard task telling what time it was, days seemed to by so fast here "- over twelve hours! You don't think you'll get caught or something?" He couldn't imagine her twiddling her thumbs in the corner of the alley all day.
He hoped she didn't ask him to stay with her or even visit her - he didn't want to catch what she had, whatever the heck it was. It scared the willies out of him.

She watched him as he struggled with the math, “well I’ve been here longer I’ve actually forgotten how long now….” She sighed trying to run her hands thro her hair only to stop once she reached the bump and lower her hands. “And if this was air born you would think the people in this village would have it to.” She glanced out the ally again before looking back at him with a shrug, “maybe something else causes it.” She snickered, “well maybe… never mind that’s a bit grown up for you.” She burst out laughing.
She looked back at his bag “there’s no doubt I’m get caught if I sit here all day,” she paused, “where were you headed?”
