The next morning, Jamie woke up, leaning on Eric, she quickly lifted up her head, glancing around the area, her tired eyes could only see the bright spots in her surroundings, her eyes finally adjusted to the light, as she noticed something.

Vlad wasn't with them.

Jamie sprung up, frantically glancing around. Many thoughts raced through her mind, as she noticed small footprints wandering to a different side of the sewers. Jamie sighed and followed the footprints, leading her to a different section of the sewers, only to find Vlad's sweater on the ground. In tears, Jamie rushed over, thinking the worst.

Jamie: "V-Vlad?!" She called out.

¿¿¿: "J-̷J̢ám͞ie͞?̡" The voice was staticky, yet hard to listen to.

Just then, what seemed to be a black animal lunged out of the shadows, Jamie shrieked, falling backwards with the sweater in her arms.

it wasn't an animal, it was like a demon. It had two deep green eyes, staring right into Jamie's soul, it's was gargling the green saliva, as if it had rabies, dripping from its mouth. Its back was hunched back, making it walk on all fours. its fur matched its small pointed horns, along with its slick devil-like tail. It approached Jamie very weak, and slowly. Seeming hungry.

¿¿¿: "H-H e l p." The monster managed to yelp. Soon, Jamie had a bizarre thought.

Jamie: "V-Vlad? Vlad, I-It's me, Jamie, your friend! D-Don't eat me!"

¿¿¿: ". . .Squeak." 

Jamie: ". . ."

¿¿¿ wandered over to Jamie, as it started purring.

Jamie: "...Uhm... Nice kitty?"

¿¿¿: "Merow~"The monster's tail swayed rubbing its head up against Jamie's chest.

'Vlad's' eyes turned a bit lighter, shaking his head.

???: "U-Ugh.. why does it feel like I've been hit by a bunch of-"

Jamie: "Vlad!" Jamie hugged him, surprisingly, he was extremely warm.

Vlad: "J-Jamie?" Vlad confused, he just kinda hugged back.

Jamie: "I'm so glad you're okay... What- happened to you?"

Vlad looked at himself and squeaked again.

Vlad: "I-I really dunno, but I know that gem with the goo had side effects on my body... I'm now a furry apparently.."

?: "JAAAAMIE? VLAAAAAD?!" A familiar voice called out.

Jamie: "OVER HERE, ERIC!" Jamie was able to pick up Vlad, carrying him over.

Eric: "Jesus, Jamie, had us- JESUS FREAKING CHRIST, WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS THAT?!"

Kevin: "Is.. that some demonic cat?"

Vlad: "It's me, you weenies! Your younger brother-"

Eric and Kevin: "Vlad?!"

Eric and Kevin were just kinda standing there, unknowing what to do now. Vlad got out Jamie's grasp. He was acting like a cat.
