Cassandra

"Anyone else who saw that bunny girl leaving the witch's house?"

Nick asked, genuinely in awe by the sheer absurdity of the sight.

"Yea, what's the deal with that?"

"I'm sure she had the wrong address or something."

"That makes sense."

Neither of the friends seemed to remember Abbey, or that she'd been talking to them just moments prior. The bunny girl didn't occupy their thoughts for long, as the group had to come to an agreement regarding who was to approach the last house of the night first.

"Well, since you guys started I'd argue it's only fair that we get to finish."

Nick reasoned.

"But you've gotten to start at more houses than us! We should get dibs on this last one!"

Cassandra wasn't about to take the unfair hand which Nick insisted on dealing her and Mai. He and Audrey had been quick to approach a lot of the houses, something which bothered neither Mai nor Cassandra until they realized the obvious advantages there were to going first, like the shock factor. Amazingly, the two girls had managed to keep up with Audrey and Nick thanks to their more drastic approach. Audrey was pretty much dead weight with her conservative costume.

"Gah. Fine.."

Nick caved it, conceding the advantage of going first to the two girls.

"So which one of you is it?"

Cassandra raised her hand and declared herself as the brave one to take on the witch first. With her skimpy cat costume and ability to improvise, she had no doubt in her mind that she could make whoever lived there uncomfortable enough to score the last point for her team.

With a spring in her step, she confidently made her way to the front door before knocking.

Almost as though the resident had been expecting her, the door was answered almost immediately. Eerie.

"Well hello there! What are you supposed to be today?"

The surprisingly youthful woman asked as if the cat ears and tail didn't give it away immediately..

"Today I'm a kitten, but I'll be your sex-kitten any day~"

Cassandra purred and winked at the strange woman standing in the doorway.

"Tempting offer, I must admit. Unfortunately, the position as my familiar has already been taken by Alfonso. But rest assured, I'm certain we can find a spot to fill you in."

Baffled at how wrong the woman had interpreted the comment, Cassandra opened her mouth to clarify the meaning behind her words only for them to get caught in her throat. Try as she might, she couldn't get them out. Just a gurgling sound until..

"Meow!"

"Meow!?" MEOW MEOW!!"

"I'm sorry, what was that? I'm afraid my understanding of cat is a little rusty.."

A chill made it's way up Cassandra's body. Looking down, she was horrified to see that all her clothes had vanished. The only remains were that of her choker, which looked more akin to something like a cat collar, and her cat-ear accessories. Feeling a strange brushing on the top of her naked shoulders, Cassandra raised her hands to touch her hair, finding it to be much shorter than just a moment ago.

Her hair wasn't the only thing brushing along her skin. Goosebumps hit her all over when a strange sensation graced the middle of her back, where her hair used to hang. Looking back, Cassandra saw the tail accessory still there, looking a lot more ..lively. Tugging at the strange appendage, to her surprise, resulted in pain. Despite her best efforts to jerk it loose from wherever it now sat mounted, the tail wouldn't budge, now being no less a part of her than the very hand she used to pull it with.

Right as Cassandra's panic culminated, it suddenly vanished entirely, leaving the cat-girl in a strangely calm state. Looking up at the strange woman, she didn't feel as though anything was wrong. Instead, she found herself awaiting some sort of ..permission?

"Alright. Off you go. And remember, no dragging dead mice or rats back into the house!"

Without further ado, Cassandra the cat went on her merry way, passing by a strange group of people dressed in various costumes.
