(Girl to Dormouse TF)

“My lord, a visitor is here to see you.” Cedric said gazing up to the throne on which prince Phobos sat.
“Show him in.” Phobos said flicking a black rose petal from his armchair. The large doors soon opened to reveal a medium sized figure wearing a black cloak. The visitor was escorted to the center of the large throne room, where and bowed before the prince of Meridian.
“Visitor, remove your hood and state your name.” Phobos commanded. The figure slowly raised his hands and folded down the hood of the cloak. He was a young male, about fifteen or sixteen, with long black hair that covered his eyes.
“My name is of no value, though what I offer is.” He said in a stoic tone. Phobos glared at him and signaled his guards and Cedric to leave the chamber. Once they were all out, Phobos turned his attention to his guest.
“What is it that you offer?” He asked with a raised eyebrow. The man smiled reached into his cloak.
“I hear you have a problem with a few earth girls known as the guardians. I’m going to solve your problem.” He said as he pulled out a small black box a little smaller than his hand.
“You…solve my problem…how.” Phobos asked. The man held the box out with one hand.
“This box will explain everything.” He said with a grin. Phobos held out his hand and caused the box to gravitate up to his reach. He slowly opened the box and studied the contents.
“T…This is a…” he said looking up to see the visitor had vanished. Phobos clutched the box and chuckled to himself. “With this, the guardians will never stand in my way again.”

Will Vandom slowly opened her apartment door and threw her backpack on the ground beside her.
“Mom…you home?” she called out. The silence told her mother was still working at Simultech Industries. She sighed as she hung her orange coat up in the hall and walked into the kitchen. On her way to the fridge, she pushed the “voicemail” button of her phone.
“You have…1…new message.” The computer voice said. The phone beeped and she heard the familiar voice of her friend Taranee.
“Hey Will its Taranee…um… me and the rest of the girls are going to see the new Gorillaz movie later…so give us a call if you can go. Okay?”  The phone beeped and read that no messages were left. Will placed a container of Jelly on the counter and pulled a loaf of bread out from the cupboard below her. She straitened up and noticed that her jeans were a bit loose on her waist.
“What… how did my belt get loose?” she said as she adjusted her black belt tighter around her. Will turned to the shelves behind her and reached up for the peanut butter. Though for some reason she couldn’t reach it. This morning she was tall enough to hit the wall in the back of the shelve, but now she couldn’t even reach the second shelve.
“What the hell is going on.” She said. Will decided to skip the peanut butter and make a jelly sandwich. As she made it to the living room and placed her meal on the coffee table, she felt her jeans falling down her legs.
“Come on you stupid belt.” She said as she raised her pants and tightened her belt to the last loop, but the jeans were still falling.
“Screw this; I am putting on new jeans.” She complained as she walked towards her bedroom. As she opened her door, Will heard a sudden clang on the floor behind her. Turning, Will saw the Heart of Candracar lying on the hallway floor.
“How did you get out there?” She said reaching out to retrieve the orb. Will then let out a horrified scream as she saw her fingernails had grown into sharp points. “M…My hands…what is happening to my hands?” she yelled as her hands were shrinking and becoming more pinkish. Will then felt a slight ticklish feeling crawl up her arms and onto her shoulders. Removing her green sweatshirt, she discovered her arms were covered in a thin coat of brown fur. “M…my arms…my shoulders…what’s happening?” She screamed. Will ran into her room and stopped in front of her full-body mirror, watching her jeans and underwear fall to her ankles. “I’m getting smaller!” She said wile her spinal cord extended to about ¾ of her leg length. The extension was soon covered in bushy fur. As Will watched her normal female figure morph even more, her pet dormouse crawled up to the top of the mirror and stared at her with its large black eyes. Will looked up a in and immediately knew what was happening to her. “I…I…I’m turning into a…Dormouse?” she said in disbelief. Her feet bent and shifted until they looked very similar to her hands. Will lost her balance and fell on all fours when her backbone cracked into place. Her body was now seven times smaller than normal and her body was being flooded by a coat of brown hairs. Will began to cry as her arms and legs transformed completely into those of a common dormouse. “W…Why is this happening to me?” she sobbed as her brown fur grew up her neck and into her face. She felt her eyes grow larger and her eyelids stretching from side to side. Three whiskers grew from her cheeks as her nose turned a light pink color. “Stop it…I don’t want tooo beee a dormouseee…I’m Willlll… I’m aaaa Humaaaaaaannnnn!” she screamed as loud as she could as her face pushed out converting her entire human skull into that of a rodent’s. Will could now only make high pitched squeaks and growls. Her human clothes lay upon the ground and the only thing remaining of her human body was her red hair and eye color.
“Not so tough now are you, guardian of the heart.” A cold voice came from the doorway. Will turned to see the vile Cedric holding the heart of Candracar in his scaly hand.
“Put that down! Its mine.” Will said in one long squeak. Cedric laughed as he wrapped the heart around his thick wrist.
“Lord Phobos will defiantly be pleased knowing his plan worked out perfectly.” He said. Will began to cry harder as she began to realize her life had just been stolen from her.
“Please…don’t do this to me. You can have the heart, but please don’t leave me like this. Please.” Will pleaded, but once again it was only a slur of squeaks and wines. Cedric opened a portal with the heart and looked back at Will with a smile.
“You be a good little rat and stay away from mousetraps.” He taunted as he disappeared into the portal. Will ran around her house frantically as she searched for some kind of absolution. Knowing deep down that she was forever doomed to the life of a common rodent...forever.
