New Zoo (Original Series by Wallace111)

New-Zoo-Rhinos

It was early in the morning as Casey looked around. He looked back to the van parked outside. He noticed Joanna waving in the window as he felt confident. He saw the massive stone archways of the Zoo as he nodded.

"We can't afford to pass up on this opportunity," thought Casey as he recalled why he was here.


Recently, Casey and his band had been contacted by one of the managers who ran this zoo. The manager hoped that they would be able to get the band to perform upon the official opening of the zoo.


Therefore, he had been appointed to discuss the arrangements on behalf of the band. Casey walked under the massive stone archways as he looked around. Despite the rumours, Casey didn't feel particularly uncomfortable as he entered the Main Hallway.


Casey's long brown hair waved in the cool zoo air. He had worn a red sleeveless shirt and a pair of blue jeans. His jacket was still loosely hung around his frame, the top being light blue and the bottom being dark blue. He looked around the Main Hallway of the Zoo with his light red eyes as he examined the enclosures.


"Their offer was certainly interesting, could be the breakthrough we've been looking for" mumbled Casey.


Casey noticed a nearby enclosure. He looked inwards, seeing a family of Zebras grazing upon the grassland in their enclosure. Casey continued to walk down the Main Hallway observing the various animals. He noticed the giraffe, calmly eating leaves from one of the trees as he stopped outside its enclosure.




"Good to see them filling out their collection," thought Casey as he continued to observe the Giraffe. "I should stay here, someone will find me soon enough," said Casey.


As Casey continued to watch the giraffe, he barely noticed someone walking up to him. She had short red hair complimenting a pair of oversized glasses. She was of medium height and was holding a checklist in her hands.


"Good morning...Casey I presume?" asked the woman as she offered her hand out to Casey.


"That's correct," replied Casey, shaking her hand. "I'm guessing you're Charlotte?" continued Casey, smiling as Charlotte nodded in response.


"So, when can we negotiate for my band to perform?" asked Casey, noticing Charlotte smiling, although not for the reason he was thinking.


"Yes...before that, would you like to see one of our new enclosures?" asked Charlotte. Upon seeing Casey's sceptical expression, she added "It's on the way to the Office."


Casey considered the offer for a moment. He didn't want to take too long given his band was waiting for him outside. Still...he didn't want to risk getting off on the wrong foot.


"Fair enough, it'd be good to see it," said Casey, nodding in approval.


"Very well...follow me" announced Charlotte as the pair began to walk through the Main Hallway. Casey barely noticed that other animals were staring at him as they walked.


They didn't walk very far as Charlotte stopped outside an enclosure. Casey looked inside and, to his confusion, couldn't find a single animal within.


"Where are the animals?" asked Casey, something in his mind telling him that something was wrong. The rumours played out in his head as he began to wonder if there was any truth to them.


"I'm afraid my good boy hasn't shown up yet" replied Charlotte, her tone almost condescending as Casey seemed to pick up on the hint.


"What do you..." started Casey as he felt a sudden thought enter his mind. His mind felt blank as his eyes shifted. The pupils began to dilate as his eyes darkened.


"Good...I was beginning to wonder how long it would take," said Charlotte, waving her hand as Casey complied. He moved towards the entrance of the Rhino enclosure as Charlotte opened the door. Charlotte noticed something on his waist as she smiled.


"A pager, this could come in handy" thought Charlotte as she swiped it from Casey. Now was the time to get some new additions.


"Get in" ordered Charlotte, allowing Casey to walk into the enclosure as she closed the door behind her. The door locked as she waved her hand, motioning for Casey to become free of his trance.


As Casey felt his senses return to him, he felt confused, disoriented, failing to recognise where he was.


"Where...where am I?" said Casey as he looked around.


He noticed the surroundings of what appeared to be an animal enclosure. It had lush green grass at his feet and had a small hut in the back. He also noticed a mud pit near the cave which was bubbling slightly. He had no idea what that would be useful for.


Eventually, he looked outside, noticing Charlotte was watching him intently.


"Charlotte, what am I doing in the enclosure?!" said Casey, feeling a sense of dread as he looked around. He feared what animal could be hiding inside.


"Simple...you're going to be my good boy...alongside your friends soon enough" replied Charlotte condescendingly. Casey glared for a moment as he began to feel uneasy.


Casey felt a tingle surrounding him as he felt weak in the knees. He lost his balance as he stumbled. A scent was beginning to cross his nose as Casey was trying to work out where the scent was coming from. He looked down at the grass beneath him and began to feel hungry.


"What is...going on?" thought Casey as his mouth began to salivate as his appetite for the grass grew. An instinct began to develop within his mind. Before Casey could react, the instinct compelled him to bend down.


He bent his head to the grass, grazing on it. The taste was surprisingly sweet as Casey kept chewing and chewing the grass. He was savouring the sweet juices as they travelled down his throat. His throat tingled as the grass travelled down, eventually settling in his stomach.


He felt his body tingling as it began to press against his clothes. It was beginning to bulk up, taking on a small greyish tint. Charlotte could only smile as she continued to witness his change.


"Perfect, I'll soon have my good boy...and Rebecca will be undermined" thought Charlotte as she looked towards her developing rhino. He was still grazing, his body bulking further. She imagined his clothes would be tearing up anytime soon.


"Casey?" said Charlotte, trying to get his attention.


Instead of speech, what Charlotte got in response, was a bellow.


"Try to stand up," ordered Charlotte. Casey, despite his transformation, tried to obey. As he did so he felt a tingling in his arms. They began to even each other out as he felt his knees begin to move up till he was on his feet, matching his arms. He found himself comfortably on all fours.


His shoes began to stretch until they burst as Casey's feet were next to change. His feet had swelled slightly as his toes ceased to exist. He felt his nails grow bigger and devour his toes as they formed his new feet. Casey continued to increase in bulk, putting further pressure on his clothes as tingling began to form in his hands.


His hands likewise began to change as his feet did. The fingers merged as his nails broaden, becoming bulkier. His hands had likewise become paws, matching his feet. His developing hide spread over his new paws, the skin became rougher as it felt bulky, together as his clothes were almost pushed to their brink.


An unusual sensation began to form around Casey's rear. Something began to press out from his backside. Something was pushing against his jeans until they finally gave way. The pressure finally subsided as he felt his new tail from behind him. It moved experimentally as if the developing rhino was testing it. Casey's anus migrated and moved to be located just below the tail. Casey's bulk continued to grow, the strain his clothes were under was now proving to be too much.


Casey's clothes eventually ripped apart, leaving him almost naked. Despite everything that had happened to him, the magic affecting his mind was leaving him rather docile. His growing bulk became the proper proportions for a rhino, ensuring he would never walk on two legs again.


"Good to see that the obedience aspect is working as intended" thought Charlotte, feeling satisfied with herself as she continued watching Casey change.


Casey's hair began to come loose from his head. It began to fall to the ground as his face began to push out. His face began to push out into a muzzle as he bent down, grazing at the grass more as he felt a tingling in his ears.


His ears began to push out, stretching as they moved to the side of his head. The cartilage began to loosen, curving out as they shifted into the proper ears for the rhinoceros Casey was becoming.


"Wait..what's...what's happening?" thought Casey. His body seemed all wrong, he tried to make sense of what was happening to him. Before he could do so, he felt something rock his mind. His eyes began to darken, the docile nature that Charlotte was forcing on him was taking dominance in his mind.


"No, stop this!" shouted Casey, trying to resist the mental changes. He had to do a double-take as he realised what should have been a scream was a bellow.


Casey tried to resist, even as something was pushing out his head. He realises he was getting the crown jewel of the species he was becoming. His horns began to grow out from his head, appearing majestic on the soon-to-be white rhinoceros.


"Obey...obey Charlotte," thought Casey, the mental changes overwhelming him as the few remaining remnants of his skin began to roughen up. It thickened, matching the hide that had already developed around his body. Casey felt goosebumps all over as he looked around the enclosure.


"This...This feels like home" thought Casey, his hide having completed as he was now physically a white rhinoceros. His mental changes weren't too far behind as his eyes darkened completely.


"I...hope...the others...don't...come...and...find.....me" was Casey's last scattered human thought before his capacity for human thought was suppressed entirely. Casey's human mind was overpowered, making him a rhino in body and mind.


The new male white rhino bellowed out to the Zoo as if announcing its new arrival.


"Perfect," said Charlotte, smiling as she raised her hand experimentally. A small glow came from her hand as Casey immediately looked up at it. She moved her hand around, Casey following it intently as Charlotte's smile grew wider and wider.


"Don't worry Casey...I'll get you company soon. Joanna and the rest of your band will be joining you soon" explained Charlotte to the new rhino as she began to walk away.


Casey watched her go. He desired company, faintly remembering Joanna and the rest of his band.


Little did he know, he would soon get his wish.


"Now time to set the trap," thought Charlotte as she scanned through Casey's contacts. She typed out a message, something to bring the rest of his band in. After all, Charlotte wasn't going to say no to a few additional rhinos.


In the Carpark:


"Ugh...what's taking him?" complained Mikaylah, staring at the digital clock within the back of the van.


"These things take time" responded Tara, her tone deadpan as if she was annoyed at Mikaylah's complaining. Her tone also indicated this was not the first time Tara had found herself in this situation.


"Can't time go faster?" complained Mikaylah once more, rolling her head back in boredom as she felt her energy building up within. Her blond hair fell back slightly.


"Apparently not, it's feeling rather suffocating with you" snarked Tara, shifting her black hair slightly from her face. Mikaylah felt a small sense of frustration at Tara's apparent snootiness.


"Knock it off back there" called out Joanna from the front seat, staring back at the pair as they fell silent. From appearances, the pair appeared to withdraw, appearing to sulk amongst themselves.


"Still...it has been a while" admitted Joanna as she noticed Jaxson. He was comforting Tara as she smiled briefly. The pair clearly enjoyed each other's company.


They were clearly in love.


"Good to see Jaxson finding happiness given the state of his home life," thought Joanna, suppressing the immediate thought as she thought back to Casey.


She took a few moments to check herself in the mirror. Joanna's long black hair travelled down her back and stopped at her knees. Her dark brown eyes shone slightly with optimism. She was wearing a sleeveless white shirt and a pair of black trousers. She admired herself, hoping that Casey approved.


"I do love him...even the company he keeps" thought Joanna. She didn't quite get along with the others. However, after everything that had happened, all they had was each other. They were practically family, even if they had frequent disagreements.


"Still, if this works out...at least we won't be living out of the van anymore" mused Joanna. She took a glance at the clock as she eyed her pager. She quickly skimmed the message as she smiled.


"Guys" called out Joanna, gaining the attention of the others. "It seems like Charlotte wants to see us in person. I guess Casey and Charlotte have managed to successfully agree to something" continued Joanna as she noticed the rest of the band appearing to mirror her optimism.


"Finally, no more depending on mystery meats," said Jaxson as Tara nodded in agreement. The pair shared a kiss as Mikaylah stuck her tongue out. A sharp look from Joanna from the rearview mirror stopped Mikaylah in her tracks as she flashed a cheeky grin.


The band began to feel excited as Joanna vacated from the van. She opened the side door as the other came out. Mikaylah was the most apparent as she jumped up a few times, glad to be free from the confines of the van.


"Can you behave for two seconds?" said Tara sarcastically. Mikaylah grumbled to herself in response. The group began to walk towards the stone archways as Mikaylah stopped momentarily.


"You ok Mikaylah?" asked Joanna, noticing Mikaylah's unease.


"...yep, I'm ok," said Mikaylah unconvincingly. She had heard the rumours and, given her dislike of animals, the situation had given her pause.


"Will you hurry up then?!" shouted Tara, quieting down as Joanna gave her a small glare. Tara then retreated to Jaxson as Joanna returned her attention to Mikaylah.


"You sure you're ok?" asked Joanna again, a bit more firmly this time. Mikaylah stared at Joanna as she felt confidence within.


"Do it for the band, we all need this" thought Mikaylah as she smiled, even if it felt a bit forced.


"Yep, let's go," said Mikaylah, skipping into the Zoo to catch up to Tara and Jaxson. Joanna smiled as she shook her head absentmindedly.


"Never a dull moment with Mikaylah" mumbled Joanna as she walked under the stone archways, intending on catching up with the others.


Joanna quickly caught up to the group as they looked around. The Zoo appeared to be stocking up on animals as the group looked around indifferently.


"Casey, where are you?" called out Joanna, Mikaylah's eyes darting from side to side as if she was afraid of something. Tara took notice of this, resisting her frustration.


"Pathetic" scoffed Tara internally, looking up to Jaxson as she smiled. They both knew what the other wanted, all they needed was some privacy.


"Something we might finally get" thought Tara as she looked back at Jaxson.


The group noticed someone approaching them as Charlotte began to see them.


"Good, I think our new rhino could benefit from having a herd," thought Charlotte as she gave a sweet and loving smile to Joanna.


"Welcome, I presume you're here for Casey?" said Charlotte, noticing the group looking at her. She noticed Mikaylah's look of suspicion as Charlotte elected to ignore it.


"Yes, where is he?" asked Joanna, curious as she expected him to be her with Charlotte.


"He's just looking over the paperwork some more, wanting some privacy before we close the deal" explained Charlotte which seemed to put the group at ease.


Mikaylah was still feeling rather uneasy as she looked around. The animals seemed rather...strange. It gave her shivers as she thought about it...and not just because she disliked animals.


"Can we go see him?" asked Joanna. "I feel something significant like this should be discussed between all of us" continued Joanna as Charlotte nodded.


"Of course, follow me," said Charlotte, motioning the group to follow her. "This is going to be easier than I imagined," thought Charlotte. The group didn't notice her widening smile as they followed her down the Main Hallway.


As the group followed Charlotte, Mikaylah noticed something shining near Charlotte's waist. She was surprisingly subtle as she tried to get a closer look.


"Wait...isn't that Casey's pager?" thought Mikaylah as she continued to eye the device. She noticed Joanna's pager as she quietly swiped it. Fortunately, her experience on the streets had proven to be useful in this instance as Joanna didn't even notice her pager was gone.


Mikaylah typed out a quick message on the pager as she gave a quick proofread, checking to make sure the message was being sent to Casey. "I just need to know if I'm just being paranoid" thought Mikaylah as she pressed the 'Send' button.


A sudden beeping coming from Charlotte's waist confirmed her suspicions. Mikaylah couldn't hold it in anymore as panic came over her.


"That's Casey's Pager!" shouted Mikaylah as the rest of the group were immediately surprised at this accusation.


"Wait..what are you...." started Tara, losing her words as her mind began to go blank.


"Tara!" shouted Jaxson, concerned for his girlfriend as his mind suddenly went blank.


"Mikaylah, what do you..." said Joanna, feeling her mind go blank.


"Wait, what's..." thought Mikaylah as her mind likewise went blank.


Charlotte held up her hand, a glow coming from it as she waved her hand. The group's pupils began to dilate as their eyes darkened. Charlotte felt a small strain within as she cringed slightly.


"Gotta say...I didn't see that coming" said Charlotte as she motioned her hand. She watched as the others followed her. She smiled, even as the strain of controlling four people at once was getting to her.


Fortunately, she was close to the Rhino enclosure as she opened the door. She quickly ordered the group inside as she breathed out in relief.


"At least...this better be worth it" mumbled Charlotte, still trying to catch her breath as the strain of controlling the band was fading.


As it did, Charlotte realised the control she had over them would also be fading. No matter, she had them now and soon...she'd have a herd of good boys and girls to act as test subjects.




Within the Enclosure:


The group blinked a few times as their eyes began to lighten up once more. Whatever control they were under had now faded as they looked around. A collective sense of confusion came over them as they had somehow gotten stuck in an enclosure.


The group looked around, noticing their surroundings. There was lush green grass and a small hut in the back. There was also a mud pit near a cave which was bubbling slightly.


"Is everyone ok?" asked Joanna, looking around as she saw Tara and Jaxson together. She nodded as she continued to look for their missing member.


"Mikaylah?" said Joanna, a bit more firm this time.


"Uh...guys?, a..a little help?" responded Mikaylah as she suddenly got the group's attention.


They noticed a white rhino staring at Mikaylah. Mikaylah was still frightened as she began to feel rather scared.


"Oh, c'mon you big baby!" said Tara as she left Jaxson for a moment. She began to feel an odd sensation developing as she pressed on.


As Joanna stared at the rhino, she began to feel an odd sense of familiarity. Even as a tingling began to form within her, she continued to stare at the rhino.


"Casey?" mumbled Joanna, finding herself unable to ignore the sensation any longer. She tried to distract herself by forcing on Tara but this didn't help at all.


"Come on now," said Tara, having reached Mikaylah and now pulling her away from the rhino which, unknown to them, was their best friend.


Casey, finding a sense of familiarity between the two women, moved forward towards them. Mikaylah screamed in panic as she accidentally nudged the rhino coming into contact as she felt a sudden overwhelming sensation coming over her. It left a tingling in its wake, preparing to change her into something new.


Mikaylah found herself on the ground as Tara continued to huff with frustration. She tried to move Mikaylah as she looked at the others.


"Can someone help me please?" said Tara, her tone rather snippy as she wondered why the others seemed focused elsewhere.


A developing growth on Mikaylah's nose gave her the answer.


"Wait...what's that?" wondered Tara, her annoyance replaced with curiosity as she looked at Mikaylah. She noticed the growth on her nose as it began to press out. Mikaylah appeared lost in her own world for a moment, trying to deny what was happening before her eyes.


"The rumours were true" mumbled Mikaylah, her voice rather quiet as Tara barely heard anything.


"What?" asked Tara.


"The Rumours were TRUE!" screamed Mikaylah, looking directly at Tara. Tara got a clear view of the growths forming on her head. They resembled horns like those...on a rhino.


"Oh hell no, we're becoming rhinos?!" said Tara, the question being rhetoric. She looked around, noticing the door as she considered running towards it. Before she could, her legs felt like jelly as she fell onto her hands and knees.


Her changes were beginning...and Tara couldn't be more terrified!


Tara could feel the pressure building up in her rear. It was becoming rather unbearable as it pushed against her trousers, as if desperate for freedom.


"What...what the fuck" mouthed Tara as the pressure finally gave way, revealing a small tail sticking out of her rear. It had a small tassel of black fur like her hair as Tara's eyes widened as fear froze her still.


"So, we really...are becoming rhinos?" thought Tara, the reality sinking in as she felt the sensations spreading across her body, as if eager to shift her body further. She noticed the changes occurring across her friends. Joanna was overly focused on the rhino within, Jaxson's skin seemed to be changing into hide whereas Mikaylah's horns were developing.


"I...I think we're screwed" admitted Tara as she was at a loss for what to do.


Joanna:


Meanwhile, Joanna hadn't taken her eyes off the rhino which had been staring at her. A sudden thought crossed her mind as a bittersweet smile came to her face.


"Casey?" mumbled Joanna, surprised that the rhino seemed to respond to this. It moved closer towards Joanna as if it was feeling comforted by her.


As the rhino nudged Joanna, she felt further shivers across her body as she knew further changes were coming. However, despite not wanting to be a rhino, Joanna seemed rather calm about them.


"I can't stop them...at least I can be with Casey," thought Joanna, taking a moment to glance around the others. "At least we'll all stay together," said Joanna. The changes began to affect her neck, thickening it as a tingling began to wash over her, originating at her chest.


"This...this feels moooo" mumbled Joanna, realising her voice was fading. She felt her vocals shifting as speech soon became lost to her. Joanna tried once more, trying to say something but she could now only bellow.


Joanna felt her body begin to change and shift. She felt her body thicken up, pushing against her clothes. The material began to become stretched as her skin began the transition into hide. As her hide began to take on a greyish tint, her clothes could be heard beginning to tear.


Joanna felt her spine stretch out as it pushed out of her body. It lengthened, shredding a hole in her trousers and pushing the seams to burst as her new tail moved in the cool air of the enclosure.
The material, no longer able to support her developing body, fell to the ground as Joanna felt surprisingly calm about the whole situation. Unknown to her, the obedience spell that Casey had fallen victim to was now beginning to affect her mind.


Joanna was nonchalant as her breasts migrated to her groin, shrinking and becoming teats for her future offspring. She felt her vagina migrate and change. It stopped under her developing rhino rear as she realised that she had new rhino genitalia.


As Joanna's genitalia finished morphing, began to feel warmth at her rear. She began to feel aroused as she continued to stare at the male rhino. She felt a need to be with him as she felt further changes begin.


Joanna bellowed in excitement as her hair began to withdraw into her head. She would soon be appropriate for her mate. She could feel something pushing against her skin as her new horns developed. A long horn stuck out as it lengthened, a short one just above it as Joanna felt a great sense of pride swelling within.


Joanna smiled as the tingling in her arms and legs occurred. She felt her arms and legs swell as her fingers and toes changed into nails. The hide continued to spread across her legs and arms, matching her body.


Joanna's hide finished spreading across her body as her spine shifted, locking her to all fours as she looked dreamily at Casey...at her mate. She felt the tingling in her face as she smiled, looking forward to completing her change.


Finally, she felt her face change, it stretched out as she bellowed. Her teeth changed to become more adapted to eating grass and her mind became simpler. As the final bit of hide spread across her face, her new instincts emerged and her mentality matched her body.


Joanna saw Casey staring at her. She felt a familiar presence in her mind, even as her darkened eyes no longer carried human intellect. She felt rather aroused as Casey began to nudge his head at her.


He seemed to be indicating towards a nearby hut where they could have some privacy as Joanna bellowed in agreement. The newfound animals began to walk towards their new home, unaware that the others had been staring in shock.


Mikaylah:


Mikaylah, like the others, was in a state of shock after witnessing what had just happened to Joanna.


"Wha...what do I do?" thought Mikaylah, feeling a sense of panic within as she could feel her developing horns pushing out.


"Ahhhh!" screamed Mikaylah as the pain was becoming increasingly unbearable. Fortunately, the horns grew to their full length as Mikaylah stared at the growths. She went cross-eyed as she tried to make sense of her situation.


"I have horns?" wondered Mikaylah, trying to resist the developing sensations within. Unfortunately, her resistance did little to help her as she felt her body begin to convulse. She fell backwards, feeling her changes rock her entire body as she was forced to watch.


"Why...is this...happening...to...me?" mumbled out Mikaylah, struggling to get many words out as she felt a tail pushing out of her rear. It snaked under her dress which was feeling rather cramped as it began to give way.


Eventually, Mikaylah's dress ripped alongside her t-shirt. Mikaylah's first instinct was to try and cover herself. However, she found her hands were no longer able to reach down there.


"My...my arms," said Mikaylah, noticing them shifting and changing. She watched as her fingers began to harden, clumping together to form hooves. She could feel the same thing happening in her toes as her shoes were torn to shreds.


"I, I can't get up," thought Mikaylah, finding herself struggling to get on her feet as her new limbs weren't cooperating with her. Eventually, with great difficulty, Mikaylah managed to roll herself onto all fours. She felt her tail swishing mindlessly. A glaring contrast to Mikaylah's panicking mental state.


"This, this can't be happening! I knew we shouldn't have come here" panicked Mikaylah as she began to feel her skin hardening. It changed texture and colour as it took on a grey colour. Mikaylah stamped her foot as if in defiance of her changes.


"No, this...I can't let it end like this!" shouted Mikaylah internally as she looked towards the door they had come in. She took a glance at her horns and smiled, feeling she would be finally able to put them to good use.


She considered her plan before nodding her head.


Mikaylah decided she would charge through it, making a mad dash for freedom.


Unfortunately, this plan was squashed as quickly as it came as Mikaylah felt something invade her mind. The panic in her mind was being replaced with calm as Mikaylah shook her head.


"No, No, I am not a mooo!" screamed Mikaylah, stopping herself at the animal sound she had just produced. This gave the mental changes the foothold they needed to settle within her mind. Mikaylah's eyes began to darken as the animal took hold.


Mikaylah's neck began to thicken, robbing her of speech as the changing person appeared almost resigned to their future as an animal. A small bump appeared around the back of her neck, sticking out even amongst the rest of her thickening body. She could feel the tingling reach her face now, ready to complete the developing rhino cow.


Mikaylah could feel her face stretching out into a muzzle. It was square-shaped, as her teeth shifted. They thickened and changed, becoming more suitable for a herbivore diet. Her nostrils expanded, helping Mikaylah breathe as the calm feeling became more soothing. Her ears shifted and stretched out, becoming more suitable for her new species as they swivelled around.


"T...Tara?...friend?" thought Mikaylah, hearing the panicked cries coming from the human woman. Her transformation sealed itself as she heard the bellows from the nearby hut. She 'smiled' as her eyes darkened entirely, sealing away any human thoughts as she was content to be with her herd.


Mikaylah bellowed out in triumph as her transformation completed itself. She was now oblivious to Tara or Jaxson who were currently experiencing their own changes as it now felt rather warm.


Mikaylah looked around the enclosure, noticing a mud pit nearby. She panted softly as she walked towards it, eager to cool off in the rather warm zoo air.


The new rhino was oblivious to the still humans within its enclosure. For now, it was just content to find somewhere cool.


Tara:


Tara glanced around, noticing what had become of Joanna and her friends. Despite her disdain for Miakylah, she still felt sorry for what had happened to her.


A small wag from her rear reminded her of her predicament as she looked back to her short tail.


"No...please, please" mumbled Tara quietly as she felt tingling across her body. There was no doubt in her mind that the changes which had occurred to her friends were now occurring to her.


She felt the tingling focus on her lower body, clearly intent on warping it beyond recognition. Tara felt her trousers begin to feel cramped, her thighs swelling up with muscle as it pushed against the material. It was beginning to feel increasingly stiff as Tara felt her legs become harder to move the way she was used to.


As Tara continued to feel her legs pushing against her trousers. They were shortening to match her soon to be changed form. She felt cramping in her feet, obscured by the shoes she was wearing.


"What...what did I do to deserve this?" huffed Tara, tears in her eyes as she reluctantly forced her shoes off. She soon felt the tearing of her socks as she managed to get a glimpse of her forming hooves.


Her toes swelled, sticking together a bit as they crunched. Tara cringed at the slight pain as the changes moved up her legs. The shortened stumpy limbs caused her trousers to finally snap as she got a good view of her developing legs.


"This, this, how is this possible?" mumbled Tara, feeling hysterics coming on as she noticed the developing hide forming. It was giving her skin a greyish tint, no doubt to match what had become of the rest of her friends. She felt a pulling sensation as her vagina moved upwards, widening to match her new species as she felt an uneasy feeling coming from it.


"What...why do I feel warm? Are the changes causing this?" thought Tara, feeling the tingling forming in her upper body as she feared it would soon match her lower body as she continued to look around.


While Tara looked around, she failed to notice that Jaxson, her boyfriend, had finished his transformation. Worse of all, his new instincts were drawing him to Tara. He could feel she was in season, and he was reacting how nature intended.


"I can't believe...after all those years of music theory, all those years of learning to play the bass guitar," thought Tara, trying to take her mind off the changes occurring to her upper body.


"I don't want to be an animal" moaned Tara, feeling despair as her hands began to cramp up. Her hands began to force themselves together, the nails thickening up as they formed hooves.


"If I have to be an animal?" started Tara, feeling anger forming within her as the changes were serving as a constant reminder of her soon to be future. "Why a Rhino!?, why not something actually beautiful!" said Tara, stomping on the ground in frustration. She felt her arms begin to shift and change. They shortened, matching her legs. Tara now felt comfortable on all fours as her hide began to develop. It spread upwards, going across her body until it met the hide that had formed around her lower body.


Tara then felt a rumbling in her stomach. She huffed as she imagined it was splitting up, adapting to her future diet. Her body then suddenly swelled, catching her off guard as her shirt split. It tore as it fell to the ground alongside her clothes.


From the neck down, Tara was now a Rhino. She continued to feel frustrated at her predicament as she looked around. She hoped that the person who had caused this was still here.


Tara hoped she would show mercy.


"Please let me go, I won't say anything, I..." said Tara, trying to beg towards anyone who was listening. Her pleas were cut short as she felt something on her back. It felt heavy as she managed to bend her head around enough to see.


"Wait...what?!" shouted Tara, her mind going into overdrive as she noticed the rhino at her rear. She was stunned into silence as she noticed his attempts to mount her. She quickly looked around, noticing two rhinos in the hut which only led to one conclusion.


"Jaxson?!" said Tara, feeling her panic rising as she felt Jaxson enter her. She tried to shift him, but the transformation had left her rather tired.


"Please...please no" moaned Tara, feeling the sensations in her head as she began to feel a tingling forming. It seemed with each thrust Jaxson was giving her, the changes were encouraged.


Tara watched as her black hair began to come loose. It fell to the ground as tears fell from her eyes. Tara looked forward, trying to ignore what was happening. She resigned herself to her situation as she tried to imagine herself in a better place.


"Just...just think you're" started Tara, her mind distracted by another thrust from Jaxson which caused a pulling sensation in her face. With each thrust, Tara felt her muzzle forming as her teeth shifted. She felt her lower teeth become bigger, blockier as her upper teeth withdrew. She could feel her ears wiggling as they stretched out.


"Mooo!" bellowed Tara, realising her neck had thickened during her changes. She retreated further into her mind, trying to find her happy place as the hide began to spread up her neck.


Tara was unresponsive as a pushing came from her muzzle. It formed in two areas as it forced its way out from her head. Two horns began to form, one long and one short as they lengthened out. Soon, they were rather long as Tara's physical changes were now complete.


Jaxson climaxed into his changing girlfriend. He dismounted, watching his mate as Tara was still unresponsive.


"Is it...is it done?" thought Tara as she felt lost in her new body. She didn't have much time to think however as she felt a sudden intrusion within her mind.


"What..what's going on?" thought Tara as she could feel her mind beginning to simplify. Years of theory, musical talent began to disappear. It was being replaced with the much more common instincts of the Rhino as she felt a voice play in her mind.


"You will obey!" shouted the voice, Tara recognising the form within her mind being the woman who had caused this. Her red hair, glasses and sadistic smile shook Tara to her core. She was powerless as the waves of magic continued to warp her mind, changing it to something unrecognisable to the girl.


"You will obey!" shouted the voice once more, the image becoming more blurred as Tara felt her mind continuing to simplify. Externally, her eyes were beginning to darken, her human intelligence suppressed by her new instincts.


"You will OBEY!" shouted the voice. Tara then looked at the image. It had faded completely, resembling a red glow as Tara's human thoughts began to fade. Externally, her eyes had darkened completely, sealing her change.


The new female rhino looked around, eyeing the nearby male which she confirmed was her mate. She wandered over to him, nuzzling him as the pair stared at each other.


They looked around, seeing the other members of their herd before they nodded. They opted to head towards the cave for some privacy, feeling rather tired after their experience.


Shortly After:


As the herd were becoming acclimated to their new existence, Charlotte approached the enclosure once more. She raised her hand, a small glow of magic coming from it as it got the herd's attention.


The herd began to move towards it as if mesmerised. Their blank stares as they looked up to Charlotte caused the woman to beam with pride. Charlotte lowered her hand, freeing the herd from her control as she was glad that her obedience aspect was working as intended.


"Glad to see that studying Elizabeth's whistle yielded positive results," said Charlotte as she watched the herd return to whatever they intended to do. She observed the new rhinos as they came together, grazing within the enclosure.


Charlotte looked at her checklist and ticked off Rhinos. She noticed two rhinos walking towards the cave.


"I hope Tara comes to enjoy being a mother...not that she'll be able to think otherwise" mumbled Charlotte. She was looking forward to any future offspring the herd might have. There was no doubt in Charlotte's mind that Joanna would also have calves of her own.


"I suppose this was quite a success," said Charlotte, contemplating her next move as she opened to a blank page of her checklist. "Rebecca is currently too strong. She's hiding something from me and Elizabeth" continued Charlotte, scribbling notes down onto the paper.


Charlotte's expression changed, becoming momentarily concerned.


"If we're here for the long term, we need to create equality between our little trio," said Charlotte as she considered how to accomplish this. "I could make use of more of this obedience aspect, tampering with the magic more subtly. However, I'd have to hope Rebecca doesn't notice" continued Charlotte as she struggled to think of any quiet solutions.


"I'll think it over for now" admitted Charlotte, putting the idea in park...for now. "For now, however...we're due a performance review later this week" finished Charlotte, recalling that she had another reason why she was here today.


A School trip was due next week. The group had considered it a great opportunity for the Zoo to help expand their animals. However, their Landlord was pushing back against them on this notion.


For some reason...he actually seemed to care about these children. They seemed rather important to him. Charlotte dismissed the idea, her mind beginning to consider the possibilities.


After all, what was so special about these children?


"However...I do think we should put them somewhere else" wondered Charlotte as she looked around. She thought back to the expansions around the Zoo. While Charlotte favoured expanding into the Petting Zoo, she knew she'd have to keep her feelings hidden.


Lest Rebecca began sticking her nose where it didn't belong.


"Can't risk Rebecca finding out before I'm ready to strike...or create us an exit depending on the outcome" thought Charlotte as she got a glimpse of the Aquarium expansion.


"It'll work...I guess" thought Charlotte. "I'll hold off for now on undermining Rebecca, at least until this School Trip is done" concluded Charlotte as she began to walk towards the Office.


She had some planning to do for the future, and she was not about to be blindsided.
