Chapter Six - Day Twelve

The next morning, Rebecca was still really tired.

There was no big list for today, so she decided to visit her friends at work.

For this purpose, she chose an outfit, which she hasn't been wearing before . She didn't have any furry costume, so this must have done it.

After she went off, she accidentally crossed a costume store taking a cut to the club, her friends were dancing in. 'Why not?' she thought, went in and bought some accessories.

They were not very special accessories, just a cat tail and some ears on a hair band. After she left the store, she put those on. There was nothing that could be embarrassing. Besides, it was only a few steps away from the club.

Arriving at the club very few minutes later, she checked if everything was fitting and went inside.

Surprisingly, neither Zoe or Maxiene were there.

 Rebecca sat down at the table she did the first time she was there. There was a package lying on the table with her name on it. She took it. Inside were a small letter and a can with different pills inside. There was one bigger and a lot of smaller ones.

Rebecca was quite confused so she began reading the letter which said:

'Dear Rebecca,

Sorry that we are not here today, but our boss needed to talk to us

about a larger concern. Besides, there is one secret we didn't tell you yet, which also deals with that. We have left you these pills because we know that you are a real friend.

The big pill in there will release our secret to you, but will change your life forever.

The other pills only have effects after taking the big one, so don't take them if you didn't take the big one first. We are going to be back in the evening, so if you want to wait with those pills, you can ask us this evening, too.

Friendly greets,

Zoe and Maxiene'

Now she was totally completely bedlam. What the hell was this? What secret? What concern?Why that all?

Holding the pills in one hand and the letter in the other, Rebecca remained silent for a couple of minutes. Then she left.

Arriving home a few minutes later, she let herself fall down onto the bed, still holding the pills in her hand. 

What to do now? Take it? Leave it?

A sound of her laptop interrupted her thoughts.

Who could that be?

She went to her laptop to see who send the message.

The email said:

'Dear Rebecca,

Just recently I found your Internet profile searching for acquaintances. Your profile picture really inspired me. I am working as a photographer for a larger fashion label. If you want, I could take a few pictures of you to send them there. Maybe they are interested in hiring you as a model.

Please contact me, if you are interested.

Keith'

A little shocked out of surprise, Rebecca kept staring at the mail. The pill was forgotten.

There were some new questions rising. Thoughts:'I was a freaking guy, how the hell could I ever do a model job? This just can't be true. I am a girl for a few days and the first big thing that happens is a job offer as a model? What the hell is wrong with this world?'

She opened the reply window and wrote:

'Dear Keith,

I am not really sure about being a photo model, as I think that giving it a try should be okay.

I am living in…...(censored)..... . I am home all day, so you can come over if you want.

Rebecca'

Two hours later, the door bell rang.

Rebecca didn't really hope that he comes, as this wasn't of any matter any longer.

She opened the door. The photographer, holding two spots in his hands and his camera bound around his neck stepped inside greeting her with a nodding.

'This is a strong one' she thought fluently.

After looking around, searching for a place to take a picture, he grabbed his spots again and carried them up the stairs. Rebecca wanted to help but there was no possibility to do so.

After he placed the spots into the right position, he once more greeted Rebecca with a strong hand shake this time. 'Ouch' she thought, getting a painful expression. Keith didn't notice.

Immediately, he began to direct her where to stand and how to pose.

It took a rather long time, untill he adjusted the spots in the way he needed them.

As it took much, much longer to adjust Rebecca in some usable pose. 

Shot 1

 Shot 2

 Shot 3

 This wasn't far away from disaster. As in the end, the shots looked good. A bit forced, but good.

Keith took his stuff, thanked Rebecca and was about to leave the house.

Outside, as he was loading his truck with the spots, Rebecca remained standing at the door watching him. She didn't really know why she did it but enjoyed it.

He finally drove off.

It was late in the evening. Rebecca remembered, that Zoe and Maxiene should now have time for her. Would they visit her or be in the club?

The door bell rang...

Surprisingly, these weren't Zoe and Maxiene, but another girl. She introduced herself as Lola.

She told to be a friend of Zoe and Maxiene and excused them, that they couldn't come this evening.

Rebecca decided to trust her, because she also trusted Zoe and Maxiene.

She led her to her bed.

'Did you get the letter?' she asked. 'Well yeah, but I was a bit confused about it. What are those pills, can't you tell me?' .. 'There is not much to tell about. You better have a look.' she answered and undressed.

She took out her own can of pills and took one of the larger ones.

'Wha.., whaa.., ho....' Rebecca stuttered. She couldn't believe what she saw. Zoe had transformed into some mix of human and...whatever this was. Rebecca was deeply shocked cause she never thought that this would ever be possible.

Then Lola began to explain in a slightly different voice than she had before.
