Don't Mess with Curses

What Comes and Goes Around on Yellow Circling Arrows

I'm sorry for everything that delayed this. I'm sorry it took so long. Again, I'm sorry. And Happy Pi day.

Pacifica Northwest's POV

           "Miss, it's time to wake up. It's nearly noon!" Chimed a perky maid as she cracked open the curtains in my room. I sat up and froze when I looked at her. 

             She had a big, probably forced, smile on her most human head out of her three. It still wasn't entirely human given the golden fur, sharp canines, and lion ears. On her left side she had a dragon head and on her right she had a goat head. A snake complete with long fangs atached to her just below her hips for a tail. I suppose that counts as a head so she really had four! All of which appeared to be smiling. She even had leathery wings!

            It almost, suited her. Almost.

            "Sorry to scare you, miss. You should see yourself to be honest. Not that you look any less beautiful than you do normaly. Well, I leave you to get dressed. Here are your clothes, freshly laundered and ironed. I also brought up an omelet for you. And as you know, your mother and father are out of town for business reasons," she set down my clothes and food and then left the room.

            I was scared to get up. There was a heavy weight on my back, I couldn't feel my legs. And my hair, what was wrong with it? It felt like that one time I used curlers that you wound around your hair when it was wet and after it had dried was curled. But I didn't use them. I grabbed my hair to find it stuck in chunks and scales. It hissed. Oh god! Was it snakes! I sat up immediately and attempted to run for a mirror. I tried to pull my legs out from under my blankets but instead I found a long yellow snake tail. I screamed. What was going on?

           Yet again I tried to get up out of bed. I flopped onto the floor and forced myself up using my bed post as a handle. Standing wasn't the best way to put it but I was in a position that at least mimicked it to a point what was my usual hight. I turned around to look at the weight on my back and found two black feathery wings. I grabbed one just to see if it was real. It was. 

           What was going on!? This had to be a dream! A hyper realistic one sure, but a dream. How do I move now? I asked myself. Slithering?!

           I looked down at my tail and focussed only on breathing. I lifted and slapped it down my tail to get used to it. I then hesitantly, I started wriggling my tail to get moving as I leaned forward. I started to fall but leaned back to regain my balance. I moved slow at first. It was difficult to say the least. I didn't pay attention to how snakes move! Why would I?! 

            Thankfully the maid who brought the clothes for me would still fit with my new changes. She even had sewn holes for my wings. I just couldn't wear my leggings. 

             Next to the mirror and find out what was going on. I slithered over to my full length mirror and gasped. My hair was gone. In it's place was a multitude of yellow snakes. They all raised their heads as if on cue when I realized they were there. I looked at my black wings in awe. I felt the sharp fangs in my mouth with my thumb. What was I? I looked like a hodgepodge of animals. So did the maid. 

            I took a few bites of the omelet but it tasted kinda weird.

             Who would know about this kind of thing? Oh, that's who, I thought as I ate, The Pines twins. I'd bet money that they had something to do with this. I don't know how. But they did. Even if they did, I needed to talk to them. How many people were like this? Was it everyone? Why?

             Wait did I have their phone number? I looked through my phone contacts. Nope.

              I slithered as quitely as I could down the stairs. That was fun. I found that the trick was to go diagonally, not straight. It was less steep that way.
