"Where's Ella." Kydon says from the doorway. I quickly dart under a bed, taking the shoes with me.

"Uh . . . Nowhere?" Crystal answers.

"I can smell her, she's in this room." I hear foot steps come to the bed before Kydons face appears. "Ella get out from under there and turn back into human. I started to get a bit more dizzy. I walked out before I tripped and my vision blurred. I could feel hands trying to hold me up. I gave way to blackness.

About three hours later

"Ella . . . Ella wake up!" I heard somebody yell. I heard other yelling before I blinked my eyes open.

"Meow?" What had happened before floods into my mind and I remind myself I'm still a cat.

"We need to get Ella out of this form before she falls into a coma!" Somebody yells and my vision focuses. I see Rose beside me and I reach out my paw for her.

"Mew, meow mew mew mow?" I say, trying to speak.

"Ella, your awake!" Rose pets my head and I start to purr, WHY AM I PURRING!

"Ella, can you return to normal? Can you shift at all?" I turn my head to see the Sea Sisters.

I close my eyes and try to shift, I feel me changing but I still feel like a cat. I open my eyes to see my friends saying I'm so cute. I look questionly at them and Crystal shows me her hand mirror. I'm a baby kitten. At least when I was a cheetah I was way faster and stronger. I had these huge green eyes and an almost calico coat. It was the same pattern as a calico but instead of a white coat it was a light brown light my cheetah coat. I looked at my tail to find the streak again.

"Well she's not human yet but she appears to be using less energy." Says a new voice as the door opened and a girl walks in. "Hello Ella, I'm the pack doctor, Melly, I'm afraid to inform you that it may take a bit to return to normal.

"Meewhyyyyy." I whined.

"Only Ella could find a way to whine in cat form and make a cat pun." Says Crystal.

"Well, you don't have enough energy to do so to put it simply . . . Is your locket glowing?" Melly said and we all looked at our lockets. I hadn't noticed it before but I still had mine in cat form. All our necklaces were glowing.

We all gasped as our necklaces lift up a bit and all open.

"The time is near
For a choice to appear
This choice might land on one or another
It will be seen as a gift or a bother."

Our lockets returns to normal. Well my friends necklaces did. Mine still glows and remains open a bit.

"And here's a gift for Ella."

A stream of what looked like moonlight surrounds me. I close my eyes and when I open them again I'm back to normal.

"Thank you Artimis, I needed that. I'll uh. . . Burn some food in tonight's campfire for you." I said stretching. "Now girls, how did the pranks go while I was out?"
