Stumbling out of the bathroom, she slowly made her way down the hallway, heading for the kitchen. Her body ached and throbbed all over. Rex's head felt like it was gonna explode, and her insides felt like someone was using them as a punching bag. Reaching out to the counter, she pulled herself up to the top and sat down on a stool. She snarled as her backside erupted with pain. Snorting, she slowly lifted her new tail up and over the backside of the stool. Resting against the counter, she buried her scaly hands into her face and sighed.

Rex's changes seemed to have slowed since the last attack. Looking over her body, she had noticed that most of her form was still, for the most part, the same as it was. One major difference was that a majority of her body was now covered in yellow/orange scales. Her human skin had all but surrendered to the scales that now covered all of her body. Pain in her legs started to grow more noticeable. Her muscles felt as if they were on fire and her bones felt like they were in a vice. The pain was manageable but annoying. She hadn't slept in almost 24 hours. If not for the pain she was in she would have collapsed to the floor.

Standing had become a problem. Her legs would not support any of her body weight. She discovered this when she tried to get up for something to drink. Her feet were also a problem. She was wearing a pair of black leather boots, which were now larger than they were before. Her feet felt like they were about to explode from her boots. An attempt to remove them failed. The laces and leather had been stretched to the limits, and no amount of forcing could get them off.

Gripping her fist in anger, she let out a low growl, her voice seeming to be affected like the rest of her body. Feeling that she had gripped her fingers too tightly, the bones and muscles of her had begun to burn. Loosening the grip on her hands, she expected the pain to subside.

It didn't.

Instead, the pain continued to grow. Gritting her teeth, she clutched her right hand tightly, like the pressure from the other hand would subside the pain of her right.

The bones in her fingers began to crack and pop, not something that you want to hear, nonetheless feel. As she watchedher ring and pinky finger started to merge together, as well as her index and middle finger. Her other hand began to change in the same fashion. Rex let out a low snarl and snorted, trying to stretch out her talons onto the counter. Her fingertips began to burn now. Flattening them out onto the countertop, she watched and heard the skin started to part. Blood ran from her fingertips onto the counter as three large black claws pushed from her fingertips.

Three large black talons slowly pushed from the tips of her now three-fingered black and yellow claws. The pain subsided again and the dull aching of her body returned. Her mind was a jumble, thoughts played over others. Her head collapsed back onto the table, her eyes closing in helplessness.
