*The house was quiet in that comfortable, late-night way—soft laughter fading, the hum of a TV left on too long, the kind of calm that settles when everyone finally relaxes. Outside, the sky was clear, and the full moon hung low and bright, bathing everything it touched in silver. Inside the sorority house, Kacey, Luna, Chloe, and Gabby lounged together in the living room. Blankets were tossed over the couch, half-finished snacks sat on the table, and their conversation drifted lazily from one topic to another. It felt like an ordinary night. Downstairs, everything changed. The moonlight shifted. It poured through the windows suddenly, brighter than before—unnaturally bright. The silver glow stretched across the floor and climbed up onto the couch, reaching the four girls at once. Kacey stiffened first. “Do you guys feel—” She didn’t finish. A sharp, overwhelming pain hit all four of them at the same time. They collapsed. The sound of bodies hitting the floor echoed through the house as the transformation began. Kacey gasped, her hands clawing at the carpet as her fingers began to ache and stretch. Her nails darkened, thickening into claws. She cried out as her arms trembled, muscles tightening and expanding beneath her skin. Luna arched her back sharply, a strained cry escaping her throat. Her spine began to curve, each vertebra shifting painfully into a new shape. The movement forced her onto her hands and knees as her body fought to reshape itself. Chloe clutched at her chest as her breathing became ragged, her ribs expanding as her torso grew stronger, broader. Her clothes pulled tight, seams straining as her body changed beneath them. Gabby’s legs trembled violently. Her feet stretched, bones lengthening, her heels lifting off the ground as they reshaped into powerful, arched forms meant for running. She tried to stand, but the shift forced her back down with a cry. Fur followed. At first, it was just patches—dark, soft, pushing through their skin. Then more. It spread quickly across their arms, their backs, their legs, covering them in thick coats that caught the moonlight. Their faces changed next. Kacey let out a strained scream that broke into something deeper as her jaw began to push forward. Her teeth sharpened, lengthening into canines that gleamed under the silver light. Her nose stretched, her features reshaping into a muzzle. Luna’s transformation mirrored hers, though her expression twisted with the shock of it. Her ears shifted upward, sharpening, her senses heightening with every passing second. Chloe’s eyes snapped open wide as her vision changed, the world sharpening, brightening. Her jaw extended, her voice fading into a growl as her human speech slipped away. Gabby’s transformation came with a deep, guttural sound as her body completed its shift. Her shoulders broadened, her back arched fully, and a thick, bushy tail burst free behind her, swaying instinctively as she steadied herself. One by one, they rose. No longer human.
