The silver particles the heroes injected into the werecat's body while searching her are slowly taking effect. As Juleka's health faltered, she stopped doing the things she loved, hanging out with her girlfriend, and art, mainly pottery and drawing. Her friend Alix took notice of this and asked about it. "Hey Jule, are you doing okay?" Alix asked, "You aren't working on that piece of pottery you wanted to finish by the end of the year. So I just wanted to check on you." Juleka did not look at Alix "I'm fine Alix. I'm just not feeling that great." She says weakly.

Another coughing fit ensues after Juleka speaks. She couldn't breathe as darkness clouded her vision. She barely hears Alix yelling, "Juleka? Juleka! Look at me. Stay awake!" As Juleka's eyes closed, she felt the tiger inside her stir breaking its mental shackles to emerge and hunt for whoever did this to her. The tiger took control. The transformation wasn't as painful as on the full moon, but it was a dull pulsing pain like when you burn your hand on a hot pan. But it was ten times worse when the silver particles interacted during this transformation. Juleka screamed in pain as she fell to the ground. She shifted into her tiger form.

As Alix looked on, she saw that her friend was a werecat. When the tiger stood up, she had a feral look, "Juleka, I'm your friend Alix!" The name meant nothing to the tiger as it stalked forward growling, its coppery gold eyes burned into Alix's soul. Juleka roared and pounced at Alix, missing the girl by near inches. Alix took off running as the tiger chased after her. Still, before Juleka could catch her, a red wolf ran in and cut off the tiger, drawing its attention and giving Alix a chance to escape as the girl ran off. The two animals fought. Still, as the fight ended, the tiger collapsed to the ground. The red wolf shifted into its human form. Alya picked up the tiger and took her to her apartment.
