CHAPTER SIX

I cried in Chase's arms for about ten minutes. When I was done, I turned my head so that my cheek was pressing against his bare chest.
"I don't know why Jay did that. Why wouldn't he let me save him? " I said, depressed.
"Well, he did try to turn us into animals…" Chase started. However, when he saw the look on my face, he quickly added, "But he was still his friend. And even friends make mistakes a lot."
He and I both knew that that was a lame excuse, but it still made me feel a little better.
"You know," he continued, "even if you could have tried to save him, you would never have been able to because your power was so low."
I sat up, starting to become a little angry at what he had just said. "I could have tried my best. Even if I didn't have enough power, I'm willing to give my life for my friends."
Chase flinched when he heard that.
"I don't want you to give your life for us." He protested.
"Well why not?" I asked.
Chase started to turn red, obviously regretting his words. He turned his gaze to the floor next to him.
"Be… because… because I…" he stammered. He returned his gaze to me, so that we were making eye contact. "Because Jay isn't the only one in love with you!" he finally blurted out.
For a moment, I was lost. I couldn't think. I couldn't move. I couldn't breathe. And then, it hit me like a bullet piercing my sternum.
"I… I don't know what to say… I…" I could barely speak I was so astonished.
"And from what I've seen, you don't really like Jay all that much." Chase added.

It was then that I realized what he meant. Chase was right! I didn't REALLY like Jay!
And it was then that I noticed the way I acted around Chase. I remembered how I cried into his chest, but barely even touched Jay when I cried.
"You… you're right! I… I DON'T like him! I… I think I actually like… you." I said, my eyes still wide with shock.
Chase looked at me and smiled shyly. "Well, do you want to make sure if you do or not?" he asked.
I became puzzled. "How?" I replied. But before I even finished my question, Chase wrapped his arms around my back, one on my upper back and the other on my lower back, and he quickly brought me three to four inches from his face. And before I had time to move, he turned his head to the side and kissed me.

My eyes went even wider at first. But when I felt the touch of his soft lips against mine, I felt my arms wrapping themselves around his own back. I felt my eyes close and I felt myself returning the kiss.
I felt like I was ten feet off the ground. I wanted the moment to last more than a moment. To last forever.  
However, it wouldn't last forever, because Jay came running around the desk, crying in terror. He had short, brown fur growing on his chest.
"JESS! CHASE! SOMEBODY, HELP ME!!!" he yelled.
The fur started to spread slowly to his stomach, and his waist and thighs began to swell.
Without hesitation, I cast the reversal.
Pain quickly surged through my body again. But after a few moments, another sensation appeared. It was sort of tingly and itchy, and when I looked down at my body, I saw the same brown fur sprouting from my skin. It moved from my stomach to my legs, and spread downwards until it reached my feet.
"Oh no! Not now. Not when I'm trying to save my friend!" I moaned.
My feet started to feel uncomfortable, like they were hardening. My legs bent back and my waist expanded, which allowed me to see my feet shrinking until they had transformed into hooves. The new weight and smaller feet threw me off balance. And when I fell to the ground, my hands hit the floor and the light stopped flowing from my palms.
I felt my hands do the same thing as my feet, so that I was now on four hooves. The fur spread up my body as a horse's tail grew from my naked backside. My face extended to form a muzzle, and long black hair grew out of the back of my neck. As I tried to cry out for help, all I could make were loud whinnies. I snorted and looked at Chase, now a full horse. However, I still had my own human mind. I looked at Jay, but saw no look of recognition in his eyes.

He was gone…

Jay was gone…
